Mr D'z Route 66 Diner

We stopped for lunch at Mr. D’s Diner on Route 66 around 2 p.m., and the place was still buzzing — always a good sign! The service was friendly and quick, even with the crowd. I had a turkey burger in a lettuce wrap, and it was absolutely perfect — juicy, fresh, and flavorful. The fries were crisp and golden, just how I like them. My husband went for breakfast (served all day!) and really enjoyed his eggs, bacon, hash browns, and toast. Classic diner food done right. Fun atmosphere, great service, and tasty food — definitely worth a stop!

This is the most beautiful diner I’ve ever been to, right on Route 66. It felt like stepping into a ’90s movie: so characteristic, colorful, and meticulously decorated. Everything was spotless, even the bathrooms. The food quality was excellent, the atmosphere calm, and the staff very friendly. Prices were fair. Truly a memorable experience!

Mr. D’z is exactly what you hope to find along Route 66: colorful, retro, fun, and full of personality. The turquoise décor, jukebox vibe, and classic American diner atmosphere make it a perfect stop for photos and a nostalgic break. The food is simple diner comfort food — burgers, fries, shakes — well done and satisfying, even if not exceptional. What truly makes the stop worthwhile is the experience: the ambiance, the friendly staff, and the feeling of stepping back into a vintage postcard of the Mother Road. A cheerful, iconic stop on Route 66. Worth it for the vibe alone.

This little diner stepped out of the 50s - it has great food, great service, and a yesteryear atmosphere - right up to the swivel stools at the counter. We went with a burger and the fajitas - recommendations provided by the wait staff. Both were served piping hot, cooked to perfection, and with ample servings - excellent value. The shakes here are amazing - they use real ingredients. The pumpkin pie shake had canned pumpkin in it - it was like the best parts of a pumpkin pie and a milkshake in one spot. Awesome stop - i think you will love it. Definitely give it a try!

Super cute classic Route 66 diner. Plenty of classic diner options, and fantastic ice cream as well. We tried the banana split, milkshakes and root beer floats, and all were outstanding. The decor is fun, with old advertisements and American celebrities. We enjoyed it so much we went back the next day for lunch! Check it out if you are in Kingman!

Fun Route 66 diner. Quintessential diner. We had the teriyaki burger with fries, a Caesar salad and root beer. All good. A quality hamburger. Our server was attentive. We had a good experience.

My son & I had dinner here 2 weeks ago. Great service, great food, fun atmosphere. I got the bacon cheeseburger, my son got the green chili burger & chili fries, and we got onion rings to share. Worth every penny & we will be back

Mr.D'z Diner is a must stop in Kingman, AZ. Its retro atmosphere is reminiscent of the good old days. It was very busy but we were seated immediately. A tour bus arrived just after us but they were seated in the enclosed patio away from the main dining room. The food was great and the menu extensive. The service was fantastic!

If you're near the Tesla Superchargers and craving a classic diner experience, this place is a must-visit! Just a short walk from the chargers, I popped in at lunchtime and immediately felt welcomed. The staff were so friendly and offered great recommendations. I went with the Diablo Fire Burger, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! It had the perfect amount of spice and flavor. I paired it with fries and a root beer, though the waitress suggested a root beer float--unfortunately, I was driving and didn't want to risk it spilling in my car! The atmosphere is pure 50's diner, and it's a fun trip back in time. The decor really takes you there, and there are some cool vintage cars around to check out as well. The location is also close to a few tourist spots, so it's perfect for a pit stop while exploring. If you're in the area, be sure to swing by for a delicious meal. Highly recommended!

When you hit the only stretch of Route 66 on your trip first thing in the morning, what do you do? You find a 50s style diner and scratch that itch with a large breakfast! I found myself in Kingman Arizona first thing in the morning, and so I couldn't resist checking out the only couple miles of Route 66 I encountered in my entire 2,700 mile journey. And as it happened, my appetite found Mr. D'z, a charming 50's style diner with all the authenticity and touristy charm you would expect from photos of Marilyn Monroe and James Dean, classic cars outdoor, and music by the King of Rock n Roll, Elvis Presley himself. The waitress was friendly and accommodating, and offered the breakfast special, which after a night of sleeping in the car, who was I to disagree? Sounded perfect to me. So a few moments later, I was presented with a giant platter of breakfast, which features French Toast, bacon, sausage, hash browns, and two eggs (cooked perfectly over medium as requested). Everything was filling and absolutely delicious, and I left full. This diner was a quintessential part of my ever so brief Route 66 experience, so if you're in Kingman Arizona, and in need of a great meal, this place will not disappoint.

I can't believe I never wrote my experience about this restaurant. It is a loaded 50s diner. The menu looked like a vinyl record. They have 50s everything in there, music, decor, and history. I don't know if it's mainly locals that eat there, but my husband and I were visiting my brother from California and wanted to eat breakfast the next morning. A lot of the customers were staring at us. I asked my husband if he noticed that, too, and he said yes. Our waitress was nice. Our food was great, and they even have a little store you can buy souvenirs at. I think it's a wonderful restaurant on Route 66. Right across the street is the Route 66 arch, you can drive your car under and take an epic photo. The restaurant has a great view of the historic route.

Very cool spot in the old school historic Kingman. This place screams nostalgia. Built and used as a gas station cafe in the 30s I believe but turned into the diner its is today in 92 I think. Lots of cool cars, pictures has the old school diner feel of the 50s. I The food itself was pretty good. We ordered breakfast food. Strawberry pancakes for my grandson, of course he loved em. Skillet bfast and bfast burrito for my son and daughter in law and finally the big breakfast for me. Eggs, sausage, bacon and biscuits and gravy. Everyone loved everything. I had lower expectations so this was a nice surprise. Well worth the stop. Historic downtown Kingman, surrounded by great little shops and a nice old school train park across the street . Good service, outdoor seating.

A dinner with nostalgic Americana roadtrip memorabilia but the food doesn't match the vibes. The place is pretty busy but not full yet the food took over 25 min to come out, and they are mediocre at best.

We were really excited to try this place out, but ended up disappointed. I asked our server her favorites, and I went with one of them: huevos rancheros. I didn't really care for it. Especially the hash browns, which I typically like at other places, were very bland (in all of our dishes). My kids shared the breakfast burrito, and THAT was actually good! And the price was good on it, too. :) My husband got the avocado eggs Benedict, but wished he had gotten the regular ham one.

I absolutely loved Mr D'z Diner. It was like something out of an old school movie. I loved the pink and turquoise colors of the place. It really brought out my girly energy. I had the breakfast special which was $9.25. It included 2 pieces of bacon, 2 eggs, 2 pieces of toast, and a hash brown. I got a glass of the homemade root beer which I must add was delicious! The service was exceptional. I loved the cooks. They were so nice, and kept smiling at me as I ate my food at the bar. Overall, I would recommend anyone stopping here on their Route 66 trip.

This wasn't our original lunch spot, but it turned out to be a fantastic surprise. The retro vibe fit perfectly with the charm of a Route 66 town. The menu featured classic diner fare with some creative modern twists, all executed wonderfully. The restaurant was spotless, the atmosphere lively, and the staff warm and attentive. The house-made root beer was a standout especially as root beer ice cream!

Stopped at this spot for lunch on the way to Grand Canyon. I love the atmosphere of the restaurant and it's so close to all the iconic spots of route 66. We shared a pina colada special shake, cobb salad, mexican omelette, and blue and mushroom burger. We really liked the shake! It was HUGE and tasted so good! All the food were just so so. Nothing impressive. They were like typical brunch food that you could get anywhere. My burger was a bit dry and I did not enjoy it much. Service was great but the food came out pretty slow. But they were packed with customers so that was understandable.

A lot of servers walking around but not much service happening. I can see why this place is rated what it is. We sat at the counter and there was maybe four tables with ppl. Our server came but never introduced herself. She took our drink order, brought my hot chocolate but took about fifteen minutes for the water. She took our order, two specials: French Toast with scrambled eggs and a side of bacon. She seemed annoyed so her service wasn't great. Our food sat in the window for about ten minutes before she handed it to us. The bacon was barely cooked, the French toast was delectable but the eggs could've been scrambled a lil more. It was a quintessential diner, NOTHING to write home about. There was music playing but I didn't catch any tune.

Fun atmosphere pretty good food wish I could rate it 3.5 on here. Service was okay but it was really busy. Wish they used fresh meat in their burgers otherwise it would have been 4 stars - beer batter fries good but weren't very crispy. Onion Rings good but some were bit soggy. My daughter really liked her BLTT on a croissant!! Definitely worth a try:)

It's a really cool place to check out, especially if you are doing route 66 because it gets you in the mood. It was a great way for us to start the day because we stopped in for breakfast before setting out on our day's route 66 journey. The ambiance is very retro with a lot of route 66 paraphernalia. Much to my delight, they had a few vegetarian options as well as the typical shit you would expect from a diner. I ordered a root beer in a frosted glass and it was spectacular. I also ordered the, I believe it was huevos rancheros which comes with a side of hash browns. There was a ton of cheese, which was lovely. But I wasn't head over heels about the overall flavor. The hash browns were borderline raw but severely undercooked at a minimum. The food part of my breakfast was disappointing. GF ordered a vegetarian scramble thing and very much enjoyed hers. They seemed to be extremely busy and I could tell the staff were doing their best, which was a pretty good job given the circumstances.

Ok service burgers were bland. Appetizer came after food. Root beer float was pitiful. Price was outrageous. $50 for 2 burgers, zucchini and overpriced root beer float

Stopped here while passing through Kingman. Service was very good.had a mustard dog and a bowl of chili. Only reason for three stars is lack of cleanliness at entrance to restaurant. A bunch of leaves and dirt on carpet runner entering store. Other than this and the fact that it wasn't so busy someone could have been cleaning,it was good enough

Got that Route 66/50's vibe going on. What to order patty melt, any burger and the Cobb salad is good. But I'm not a fan of the ribs being as they're low cut spares ribs. Sauce on the is great but ribs not so much. The I keep on getting is very knowledgeable and is a regular Johnny on the spot with ice tea and their home made root beer!!!

A quirky place with retro decor, servers wearing pink clothes. The food - pizza , not bad, but nothing special either. It was crisp and cheesy z The root beer float was right sized and great way to cool the hot Arizona desert.

From the moment I walked I was smothered with kindness. Food was amazing. Banana malt = yummy. And Happy Birthday to Michelle!

Get your kicks on Route 66. While you are there be sure to stop here. Good ol fashion diner food. The restaurant could use some cleaning out. Seems things that were in use years ago are piling up in the back room where people eat. Other than that, they've got my vote.

A stop before heading back to Vegas! definitely a place of nostalgia and located in the historic town at Kingman, AZ within the Route 66. This place serves diner food and infamous milkshakes. The staff were friendly and quick with getting our orders. I ordered their root beer float which was in a frosted cup and the vanilla ice cream to root beer ratio was perfect. It brought back my love for root beer floats! My family ordered chicken wings which were fried crispy, chicken fingers and fries! All cooked to perfection! Definitely a place to stop over before you drive to your destination.

We visited a diner on historic Route 66 and had a disappointing experience. The place was empty and dirty, with dirty tables and floors. The food was not good, and the lunch meat in the sandwich was served frozen. The water glasses were also dirty. We wouldn't recommend this place.

A fun place on route 66. The country biscuit skillet is my favorite. Definitely recommend.

Delicious. Burger and patty melt were both amazing. Fries and onion rings were perfectly prepared. Staff were very attentive and friendly. The vibe was on point. Felt very authentic. Root beer was the best. Definitely a good stop if you are in the area.

I was nervous to stop due to the reviews but our family of 5 enjoyed our meal! We had 3 burgers, pancakes, Belgian waffle, & Oreo milkshake. Everything was great! Service was awesome and bathrooms/restaurant was clean!

I will try anything once. Twice, if I couldn't decide whether I liked it or not the first time. This is my 4th or 5th time "dining" at this establishment. I gave it a try. I gave it a bunch of tries. And today, I am so fed up, fed up enough that I'm willing to write about it, to stop you from making the same mistake I made..... trying this place. Just keep on driving. There's plenty of other options available. Diners are my absolute favorite. If I have a choice, diners are always first in my list. And so this has always been a place I wanted to go to. Parking is horrible. And of the 4 or 5 times I've been it's because I found a parking spot. The other times we circled a few times, then went elsewhere. Today, oh lucky me, I found parking! My luck ended there. The restaurant was relatively empty when we arrived, and were escorted to a table in an adjacent room. One other table occupied, and they were mid meal. Menus were dropped, and that was it. No drink orders taken... after 15 minutes...15 minutes EXACTLY our server returned to take our food and drink orders. We watched as others after us came, were seated, got their drinks, and even were being served food.... While we waited. I wanted to leave. Hubby knew how much I wanted to like this today, and said we will wait this out... Our server couldn't be bothered with us, and ignored us through our entire experience. Our food came out much later than everyone else's, because we ordered super exotic fare.... A salad and burger. Which apparently was just too hard to do... even though everyone else had the same thing, and got theirs before we did. The food itself was okay, nothing wrong, but nothing fabulous either. Items missing from the order.... But, I kept reminding myself that I was there for the dessert... and just hang in there... The check was dropped at our table without offering us a chance to order anything else... or offer of a Togo for our leftovers....and I knew that It would be another painful hour if I tried to hunt down our absent server and order. The items missing from our order was attributed to the new guy in the kitchen. Sigh. The root beer is always amazing, but not worth the headache. Honestly. I gave this the benefit of the doubt for too long. Root beer, shakes, desserts- AMAZING Entrees - ok to good Service - abysmal I will never go back, because this experience today was EXACTLY like our experience ALL or our other tries...

Fantastic meal but be warned the portions are huge - again we said "we shoulda shared" as we rolled out! Highly recommend the root beer float, teriyaki burger w onion rings, regular burger w fries. Impressive menu w bkfst served all day and a dinner w ribs, pizza, and chicken fried steak. Look forward to the next time!

I would recommend avoiding this diner. While it looks cool and interesting from the outside, the inside needs a lot of work. Our server forgot she seated us, leading to a 20 minute wait for service. When she did take our order, she seemed disoriented and inattentive, possibly under the influence of something. She also had dried food on her arms and didn't refill our drinks. I noticed another employee using the same wet towel to wipe down tables, chairs, the napkin holder, and then the inside of the ketchup and mustard nozzles, which is highly unsanitary. The food was just okay, but the overall cleanliness of the diner is severely lacking. The bathrooms were especially concerning, with a cracked toilet and smeared feces on the walls, making it look like a health hazard. Avoid this place at all costs.

I wouldn't eat here due to the cockroach infestation going on here. They need to clean up and hire an exterminator. If a cockroach is running around on the table mid morning, they must have a huge problem in the restaurant. We came in for breakfast. Lots of tourists outside taking photos of the outside. The inside is a lot less busy. A lot more people come in for photos rather than to actually eat. The root beer they make themselves was good, and the waitress was really nice. That's why I'm giving it a 2 stars. Food was just ok. The waitress brought out a basket of coffee creamers. I'm grabbing creamer out, and out runs a live roach that was chilling in the basket!!!! Yuck. I lost my appetite (obviously). High tailed it out of there. Have never come across live roach infestations at a food establishment before. Makes me wonder what other hygiene practices they're slacking on.

Do not miss this place if you're in the area! The menu had something for everyone. The food and shakes were great! The staff was friendly. It has a 50's diner vibe. There are great photo opportunities.

The food is very flavorless and the bathrooms really need to be cleaned. The service from our waitress was really great. I got the fajitas and they were ok. My husband got the burger and it wasn't very good

Worth the stop in for a cool experience off the historic Route 66. Food is typical diner food so don't get your hopes up for the meal of your life. The staff was friendly and the milkshakes were delish. It's a super convenient stop off the highway if you're traveling like we were.

This place is cute ! On the outside there are picture opportunities with a classic cop car and 2 smaller ones . It is a a classic 50s theme diner We were seated right away and the place was busy .. Looking over the menus my uncle and I picked what we wanted & ordered coffee but there was no flavored creamer lol ( first world problems) . But the waitress remedied that and did a little mix and made the perfect drink . This was a great breakfast stop on the way back home to Cali after visiting family for Turkey day

Food was pretty good?! Service was as good as it could be being so busy! The restaurant is very outdated...we have been to so many of these types of restaurants off route 66 that have that classic look but maintained the upkeep. They have outdoor seating, but they should keep it just a waiting area and not a serving area. They have a lot of people on staff but it seems like their kitchen and ice cream area are just too small to keep up?! Would not recommend going on a hot day unless you can sit inside and make sure you do not go hungry...the wait is long! 2 items we ordered never came out so we canceled them unfortunately!

I stopped in to the diner on my road trip to the Grand Canyon. I was traveling on Route 66 and this location is very convenient as it's right across the street from the Route 66 museum and drive thru sign. They offer indoor (counter, tables, and booths) and outdoor seating. If you have a four legged friend with you, you can sit outside. Upon entering the wait staff ask how many and quickly seat parties wherever space is available. It was busy but they efficiently seated people, took orders, got drinks and food to tables, etc. They were movin! I sat at the counter as I was solo. For a drink I had the cherry coke omg! So good, way better than the bottle or canned variety. They serve it in a big cup with crunchy ice, I didn't even need a refill because it was so big! I ordered the breakfast special, the specials are listed on the whiteboard. Food: Supreme omelet Hash browns Sour dough toast The omelet tasty! Bellpepper, gooey cheese, onion and meat (I think it had bacon? Can't remember). I will say the hash browns and omelet were very buttery tasting so if you don't like that you might be out of luck. I don't think the toast was sourdough probably just white bread. They have a small parking lot but there is some street parking and I was parked across the street at the museum as I had just finished up there.

Stopped here while we charging at the Tesla charger. It's within walking distance from the charger. Had to use the restroom and decided to have a quick appetizer while we waited. We opted to Get a 3 item combo. Poppers, fried zucchini and mozzarella sticks. I don't really eat mozzarella sticks or zucchini so I ate all the poppers. They were not even Luke warm, just warm enough to take the cold out of them. I has one mozzarella stick and one zucchini, they were not any better. In fact the mozzarella sticks were the smallest I've ever seen in my life, something you'd maybe see served to a toddler. Since we were only planning to be there for a few minutes waiting on our car I would of sent them back. Definitely not worth the 14.00 plus tip we paid. 2 stars for the atmosphere.

Good food, friendly staff, this place kept popping up on a Route 66 Facebook page and figured I would have to try it on my way thru az

Service was great. We got a table immediately upon entering the diner. Took about 10 mins to get our food, pretty quick being the restaurant was busy at the time. The food was good. I didn't like the deep fried French fries too much. I had their signature root beer. It was delicious. I just feel the mug could be a bit bigger, especially for $6+. Limited parking.

Stopped in for lunch with my son since we haven't been here in about 6 years. They were very busy but we were seated quickly. Received drinks and order taken within a few minutes. Food was served timely and it was hot and fresh. I ordered the club with onion rings and my son ordered the bacon cheese burger with fries. Burger cooked perfectly, he liked the fries and their ranch. My onions rings were nicely battered and crunchy. The sandwich was good, and a healthy portion. Taste and serve was great. My only complaint is that as I was grabbing the 3rd piece of my sandwich there was a black hair stuck in-between the cold cuts. I waved the server over and alerted her. She was very apologetic and she removed the sandwich from the bill.

Place has a great diner feel. Order Blueberry Pancakes, milk, and a Butterscotch Mill shake. The milkshake was great, but did have a bit of the artificial aftertaste to it. Unfortunately, the rest of our order took more than 20 mins to bring out, so we had it packed to go. Should have tasted a sample at the restaurant. The pancakes, I presume, were cooked in an unclean flattop, and tasted like garlic and hamburger...and to top it off...pun intended, then didn't blend fresh blueberries into the batter as was displayed in the menu...they were only topped with blueberries. All in all, not a good experience. Their ice cream menu seems like it would be promising, as well as burgers, etc...but not sure.

Classic American diner food, Elvis called the homemade root beer there his favorite, lives up to the hype. First time trying a chicken fried steak, tasted great. Great ambiance, lots of Route 66 memorabilia on the walls.

This diner is one of our go to stops whenever we're on a road trip between NV and AZ. Not only is the classic diner ambiance a plus, but the diner food is absolutely phenomenal. I'd say my favorite items off their menu is a burger and shake. They have a lot of variety for their burgers and shakes so no matter which one you try, I promise you it'll be mouth watering and delicious! Prices are so affordable too which makes it good for a family lunch with the kiddos. My only con is the have single stall bathrooms (likely because the diner has been around a long time) so just be patient or take those potty breaks prior to stopping in.

The food was very good but it was the staff that made it fun and enjoyable. The hostess was kind and sweet. Our waitress Brooke was such a sweetie and so kind. She loved our matching shirts and was kind enough to mail us our size of Mr D'z shirts when they came in a few days later. We will definitely be back and always have a special place in our heart for Brooke.

This is exactly what you would expect. A great diner with a large selection that is very reasonably priced. The food was really good. We had the burgers, root beer floats and malts to go. It is busy but your waiting time is quick with lots of photo opportunities while you wait

Terrible food, the ribs are dry, the salad looks burnt. Service is non existent. Very slow, and you will have to raise your hand to get some help.

Cute diner. 50s ambiance. The menus look like records. Old cars out front. They even have a juke box. Good food. OK, quick service. .

It's a popular place to eat, on old Rt 66. We've been there a few times and had decent meals. It's one of several diners in Kingman. They all have some old time charm but all are a bit run down. Could use some TLC

The food is good when you finally get it. This is the second time i have come. Order the PB shake both times. 1st time i cancelled it. Took too long. Almost done eating, still don't have my shake. 2 stars for the food: service sucks!

This is such a cute diner! We drove from Vegas to this diner because we saw it was Elvis themed. Lucky for us there was a car show happening at the same time! The diner is big but cluttered. The staff were nice. The burgers were big but over cooked and the wings were fried so much that it was hard to chew. The onion rings were good, fries were alright, mozzarella sticks were gooey and yummy! The sundae/milkshake was decadent! And they make their own root beer which was delicious

This place is soo cute, but unfortunately, its service left a lot to be desired. The service is a bit intense, friendly but forceful and disorganized. Also, it was a bit too stuck in the past. An awkward confrontation, with the patron next to us, made us uncomfortable enough to leave.

Great old 1950s diner that was created by combining an old gas station and Cafe. Lots of Route 66 and 50s memorabilia on the walls. Booths and counters, as well as a few outside picnic tables. Big menu with a variety of food from burgers to pizza. Multiple shake and malt offerings. Had the bacon cheese burger. Large burger with lettuce, tomato. A little skimpy on the bacon, but the barbeque sauce on the side made up for it. Excellent crispy onion rings and fries. Lots of room. Friendly and very attentive wait staff, mostly kids with a great attitude. Well worth the stop as it is near multiple museums and the Route 66 portal you can drive until to take a picture with your car. Fun
