My family and I checked out this diner, and we're definitely going back. The breakfast combo was delicious and really worth it. The chilaquiles were amazing and tasted super authentic. Plus, the prices were great! I also loved the fact that they used the space next door as a cat rescue, and they have the sweetest and friendliest cats for adoption.

We had such a great experience at Diner 50! The restaurant was very clean, cute, and decorated with so many fun 1950s-inspired details. The atmosphere was really charming, and the staff were absolutely amazing, so friendly and welcoming! The food was delicious! Everything was well-seasoned, the chilaquiles were nice and crispy, and both my meal and the pancakes were so good and filling. You can definitely tell they put care into the food. One of the coolest parts is the cat rescue right next door! There’s a big space where the cats can play, and you can go in and spend time with them and even donate to help the cats. I personally couldn't go inside because of a severe allergy, but my sisters absolutely loved it! Overall, we had such a wonderful experience and would definitely come back again. Great food, great staff, a super cute atmosphere, and the cat rescue next door is such a unique bonus. Highly recommend Diner 50! ❤️

LOVED this place!! I’ve lived in the Glendale Phoenix area, my entire life, but this was my first time going here. The owner and her staff were so sweet and so friendly. The entire atmosphere of the place was absolutely amazing. We got to watch the Munsters while eating breakfast and I love Lucy. The staff were all wearing 50s style dresses & looked absolutely adorable. I would love to come back here with a group of friends dressed up.

Love this place!! It maybe off the beaten path but this place is fabulous. Please check them out. The food is freaking amazing. The customer service is out of this world. They have cats and kittens in a separate area for adoption. Please go see them and adopt a kitty or two.

If you’re looking for a place that feels like home, this is it. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed like family. The food is wonderful, but what truly makes this place special is the heart behind it. They’re a family owned restaurant that genuinely cares about their community, and you can see it in everything they do. They even have a small cat rescue connected to the restaurant where you can meet adorable cats that are available for adoption. It’s such a unique and meaningful experience knowing that while you’re enjoying a great meal, you’re also supporting a business that gives back and helps animals find loving homes. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and full of kindness. It’s the kind of place that leaves you smiling long after you leave. Supporting local businesses like this is easy when they’re making such a positive impact. I can’t recommend them enough!
