We had to close at 5:25pm today because it was so busy today, we ran out of meat (in addition to a few other things).

A few parties had to be turned away earlier than 5:15 because the wait was at least an hour.

We apologize for the inconvenience and look forward to serving you tomorrow.

It appears that we have to clarify our last call for orders.

Last call for all walk-in orders is 5:45pm. The fryer is turned off at that time, and your order will be made to-go only.

If you want to call an order in, you must do it by 5:30pm to give us enough time to cook your order AND for you to have time to pick it up.

Keep in mind that calling in an order does NOT guarantee that we can take your order if we have orders in front of yours.

We are sometimes busy all the way to closing time.

Furthermore, if you call the diner at any time during the day and no one answers, it’s because we’re slammed and can’t answer the phone. If we’re slammed, we can’t take your order anyway.

It's not that we don't want to serve you, it would be crazy to operate a restaurant and willingly turn people away, but there has to be a point that we need to close, clean, and prep for the next day.

Thank you for your understanding.

Although we now have a quick serve menu for busy periods, this is the regular menu that will be available during non-rush periods.

In order to serve everyone faster during busy times, we have created a "Quick Serve Menu." When large groups come in, we will switch to this menu so that food can be ordered and delivered quickly. When the diner is not busy, the regular menu items will be available.

Question: "If I want a Black and Blue burger during a busy period and you've switched to the quick serve menu, can I get it?"
Answer: "No. But you can get it when we are not busy and have returned to the regular menu. I advise you to call the diner at 928-766-2877 and ask if we are busy, and if the regular menu items are available."
Question: "I don't see the carne asada burrito on the quick serve menu. Do you still offer it?"
Answer: "It is still available, but only when the diner is not busy. The carne asada burrito involves many steps and the time to build it disrupts the flow of getting orders made and delivered to guests. Therefore, what you see on the quick serve menu is what is available during busy periods."

Also, during busy periods, the online ordering system will be shut off. This will allow uninterrupted flow of in-house orders, prevent online orders jumping the line, and pick-up confusion when a customer comes in to pick up an order and it's not ready because there were 10 orders ahead of it. When the diner is not busy, online ordering will resume.

Please note that the default burger in the quick serve menu is a single patty rather than a double patty, which is opposite to the regular menu. You can still order a double patty though by asking for it.

Thank you in advance for your understanding. We have a small kitchen and limited staff, but we want to serve everyone in a timely manner and make your visit enjoyable.
