"Hours: Tuesday to Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Friday, 11 a.m. to midnight; Saturday, 9 a.m. to midnight; Sunday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. (closed Monday) What would a diner be without a burger? Welcome goes all in, offering five of them. One is a vegetarian model made with black beans; the other four begin with six-ounce Niman Ranch beef patties set on Noble brioche buns. Choose among a somewhat traditional Welcome Burger (a cheeseburger with ketchup, mustard, onion, bread and butter pickles, and garlic aioli) or get wild with a PBB, topped with mild cheddar, peanut butter, applewood-smoked bacon, bread and butter pickles, and garlic aioli. Hot tip: It may not be a novelty anymore, but the peanut butter bacon burger still very much delivers." - McConnell Quinn
"This cheerful but deceptively sophisticated diner on Garfield takes cues from the South and Southwest alike, featuring buttermilk fried chicken tucked into homemade biscuits; a fried green tomato sandwich with corn relish and chipotle ranch; imaginative burgers; mac and cheese with a multitude of add-ons (including Brussels sprouts, chorizo, or jalapeno relish); and a dandy bourbon chocolate-pecan pie. It’s an all-day, half-the-night hangout covering breakfast, lunch, brunch, happy hour, and late night." - Mcconnell Quinn, Chris Malloy, Nikki Buchanan

"Welcome Diner is a beloved staple in the Garfield area. This neon-outfitted, ’60s-style diner has stood the test of time in Phoenix, serving up its Gulf Coast-influenced menu since 2004. The snug restaurant triples in size with its community dining patio, perfect for beating the heat under ample tree-provided shade. Welcome Diner is known for serving comfort food well into the night, making it a go-to spot for locals seeking an intimate, nostalgic dining experience." - McConnell Quinn
"The Welcome Diner, in various iterations, has been serving Phoenix since 2004. Tucked away on an unassuming corner in the Garfield neighborhood, Welcome Diner combines retro diner flair with Gulf Coast-influenced cooking. This casual spot, mainly with patio seating, is a beloved local haunt. Come for the famous biscuits, stay for the chicken-fried steak or Andouille scramble. Brunch is available on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m." - McConnell Quinn
