Jacqueline Lalani-HamiltonJune 13, 2016I love it all. I call this place my "hole in the wall'. The drinks are great. My favorites are the Big Jim and Fish Poor Boy. Worth the price , the food is consistently great, atmosphere always fun.
Gretchen BurntonNovember 17, 2013They change what's for desert from time to time, but if they're serving apple pie, get it! The slice is huge and comes with an amazing scoop of vanilla ice cream! It complements their vibe perfectly.
Gordon Grant CurtisAugust 24, 2016I love the people who work there and the food is definitely for comfort! The Mac n Cheese, Bumblebee Biscuit Samdwich, fries, and Fruit Punch are out of this world.
Phoenix New TimesAugust 13, 2014Former food truck owners Michael Babcock and Jenn Robinson have taken over this iconic, 9-seat eatery at 10th and Roosevelt streets in Phoenix and packed it with some serious southern eats. Read more
Luke WhiteNovember 26, 2014This place is a labor of love, from the mountains of delicious comfort food to the impressively functional bar squeezed next to the griddle. I love this place and it loves me back.- Phoenix New TimesOctober 22, 2013Thinking outside the jar, Welcome Diner smears crunchy peanut butter over a juicy beef patty & tops it off with bacon, cheddar, & bread & butter pickles to create its much talked about PB+B burger.

AshishMay 5, 2017They make some amazing cocktails -- the Whiskey Sour is insanely good! And the food is just as great, too. Definitely try the Little Birdy.
Tessa MalayanAugust 11, 2014Cute place to eat. Love the outdoor seating. The pb&b burger was delicious. I love peanut butter in a burger.
Jerry LMarch 11, 2016Extremely unique restaurant located in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Great comfort food and limited beers and cocktails. Worth a second visit!- Thomas HawthorneNovember 17, 2013Who in Phoenix hasn't heard of this place? Finally got a chance to grab a bite to eat. Initially, surprised at the price. After eating, more than well worth it. Great music inside and customer service
AdileneSeptember 15, 2015Great place to go to if you're out late and want to grab a quick bite! The Big Jim is pretty good along with many other food choices on the menu.
Will GarréAugust 11, 2014The Big Jim is stupendous. My wife has given the Welcome Burger an 8.5, on a scale of 1-10. If you sit inside, it is very intimate and special.
Anthony DuranNovember 28, 2017Awesome, chill, neighborhood joint. It's nice to see it growing. Great atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly staff.
All day happy hour on Sunday & Tuesday. Get the poutine and a hurricane!
M AnneJanuary 19, 2014The Veg Burger...whatever it was called... It was nothing short of delicious ! Modus Operandi IPA helped make my happy meal into more like Fantasmic goodness!
Four Peaks on draft, PBR tallboy in a Welcome Diner koozie, and amazing vegan po' boy, all under one eight-seat diner trailer...
Welcome Diner is always a 10 out of 10. Best place to hang and have an adult beverage. Dog friendly too!- Luke WhiteJanuary 22, 2015The happy hour drink specials are delicious and amazingly cheap. Sip them over some poutine.
Get a cocktail for sure! Everything is good here, but anything that comes on a biscuit is extra special. <3
Prisciℓℓaaah!December 3, 2014took a gamble with their pulled pork BBQ fries, && dark pumpkin beer // I have absolutely no regrets! 😎🍻
Try the peanut butter burger its amazing! And sit outside
I just can't do it anymore. The fly infestation is terrible. Went promptly around the corner to vomit.
