    Friendly staff and welcoming environment. Parking was easy when I went, but I can see how it might get tricky. It is mainly street parking.

    I had the welcome burger. It came out quick and was cooked to order. Taste was good. Not the best, but worth a try.

    They have a large outdoor and also indoor seating. Handicap accessible and vegan options.

    A modern diner with a good selection of classic American dishes.

    The pancakes were amazing and typically American-style. They are cooked perfectly, with a golden, caramelized exterior and thick, fluffy interior. The seasonal blueberry compote was made with fresh blueberries, so it is not too sweet, and this lets you adjust the sweetness with the maple syrup.

    The sea salt chocolate pie is great as well. The chocolate is dark and high quality, with a nice amount of saltiness. The caramel sugar filling is creamy and not extremely sweet. There are a good amount of pecans, but the flavor is way outshined by the chocolate.

    The Bumblebee is great: perfectly crunchy, yet moist buttermilk fried chicken. The mustard balances with acidity and spice, and the honey adds sweetness. Unfortunately, the biscuit is constructed as a sandwich, so without the sauce the top biscuit is dry. It also isn't traditionally prepared and uses cornmeal, so maybe this adds to the textural issue.

    The staff is minimally nice. They do not make small talk or stay longer than just taking orders or bringing food. Limited seating.

    Spent a week in Sedona and flew out of Phoenix, but before we left we had lunch at Welcome Diner and each person in our group of 4 said we would come back. Friendly service, veg options, and delicious food. So close to the Phoenix airport so highly recommend!

    Wow! Every last bit of food I got here was amazing and the time I got to hang out with the people who were with me was something that you can't just buy. It's definitely an experience, whether it's late night with friends, or lunch with the family, this place really hits. Be sure to grab yourself some pie if they have any left, it is amazing!

    What a neat place in a great location. The patio and the huge windows show off a scene that feels like you're not in a desert. Interesting and vast food/drink menus with an incredibly nice staff. The potatoes made my breakfast worth it but can't wait to go back for dinner.
