Wild Berry Diner

Wonderful place to eat! Very cozy with delicious food!

A very cute place. You can tell the food is home cooked and they give you a lot for your money, very reasonable pricing. Only reason for 4 stars rather than 5 is because the building is definitely dated and could use some updating, it was sort of musky while we were there. Food and service are 5 star though.

Got 2 orders of catfish. Not as good as we hoped for. Heavily breaded and very heavy. Not what we were expecting at all. The pie was ok.

Well, this place isn’t fancy, but breakfast was good. We had quick, energetic service from super nice people. My son had a BLT. I had eggs, sausage and biscuit with gravy. Overall, classic breakfast food with little fanfare. It was good but nothing outstanding. I would go back, but don’t expect anything other than classic diner food.

I came here for biscuits and gravy at a friends suggestion. The service was great, but the biscuits were just ok. They were rather large biscuits, and kind of dense. The gravy was bland and didn’t have a lot of sausage in it. A couple shots of Tabasco took care of the blandness. I read the menu and decided I would come back for an omelet or an evening entre.

I had a hankering for biscuits and gravy. My husband suggested Wild Berry Diner. We stopped in on a Sunday Morning for breakfast. It was still pretty early and it wasn’t all that busy. The daily specials are listed on a board as soon as you walk in, and they also have a separate menu with the specials as well. I really didn’t have to look at the menu as I knew what I wanted. The biscuits and gravy comes in either a half order or full order. I opted for the half order, good thing I did because holy cow it was huge. The food came out rather quickly, and I dive into my biscuit and gravy. I was not impressed with the gravy, it lacked seasonings. I had to add salt and pepper. The biscuit was good, however.
The restaurant itself is clean and the waitstaff it attentive and friendly. Prices are cheap. I will be back to try the fish fry.

First the good: Wait-​staff was friendly, fast, and attentive. Prices were pretty cheap.
Now the bad: Food quality in general was not good. The veggies were obviously frozen and not fresh, the gravy was gelatinous and flavorless, and the soup was very ‘meh’. The chicken fried steak was good but the gravy was definitely a let down.
Probably would not return to this establishment.

Lots of choices even Italian and Greek, a variety of fish dishes. George is a hoot and our food was hot and served in a timely manner, services was a bit slow to start, but its in how you finish. My mom liked it and that’s what matters, we’ll be back.

This diner obviously takes a lot of pride in what they’re doing. The staff was exceptionally hospitable and made you feel welcome. It definitely has a small, home town feel to it. The biscuits were as big as my face and the portions are huge, while the price tag is not. My coffee cup never ran dry. I’ll definitely return for some good comfort food! Well done :)

Was not able to do a check in because I am a little behind on my reviews. Trying new places and had lunch here with Valerie Ward. It is run by a Greek family. The menu is huge! This made it hard to pick because everything looked delicious. I always gravitate towards Greek because I LOVE feta cheese. I had the Greek burger which was topped with feta, had two slices of crisp fresh tomatoes, sliced white onion and lettuce on the side. No need for salt or pepper or even a single condiment. I substituted onion rings. Fresh made and delicious. The burger was ½ pound grilled and juicy, well seasoned. Valerie had the cheeseburger and she also said hers was fantastic. Price was good and service super fast. Their dessert display makes one’s head snap back. Bread pudding at least 6 inches high. Individual pies also looked wonderful. Had no room that day but would go for coffee and maybe share a bread pudding! Definitely a place to try.

Not the worst but won’t be back. Ordered my safe food… patty melt. Rye bread.check. Swiss cheese… check. Lots of grilled onions… check. Hamburger… ummm. Got 2 very small, super thin, obviously frozen patties. Reminded me of the ones in the school cafeteria minus the gray color. Boyfriend ordered meatloaf sandwich. Two large pieces of meatloaf, bread, all covered in gravy. Meatloaf was tasteless. No spices at all and looked, again, like cafeteria meat. The staff is really nice.

This restaurant was horrible! The floor is filthy they drag a huge specials board around the restaurant to each person that comes in. A man there, must be the owner, is loud and the food was very bad. They actually serve veg-​all that comes from a can as part of a dinner. The brown gravy was like a gel and it tasted horrible! I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone!

You are greeted like you are an old friend. The food is great, service is fast, iced tea is cold, and it doesn’t kill your wallet.

I went here looking forward to a good breakfast, but rather than being able to enjoy my breakfast here as a single person… I was told I would be sitting with another single person, an older man. I wasnt really given a choice about it, nor did I fully understand, as they were making jokes and laughing about it, what they were doing until they took us to a table to share. I have no doubt that the old man was as sweet as pie! But, I came in there to enjoy my breakfast, not to enjoy someone else’s company, especially someone I don’t even know. The old man said this is always what they do on weekends because that way they don’t lose business. I left. I was disgusted that as a single person I was treated this way, that the owner who seated us felt this was acceptable, and mortified that they felt it was acceptable to treat singles this way. I would never go there again after that experience, no matter how good people say the food may or may not be…

After reading many positive Unilocal!reviews, we decided to give Wild Berry Diner a try on 7÷4÷15. It was close by, and there was no wait for a table, which was a plus on a holiday weekend.
We both ordered from the list of specials. I had the Wild Berry Benedict and my friend had the regular Eggs Benedict.
The eggs were poached nicely, but that’s where the goodness ended.
I chose the Wild Berry Benedict because it was served over cornbread instead of an English muffin. The cornbread tasted like it had been frozen (or refrigerated too long) and was then reheated in the microwave. The «Hollandaise» sauce was abysmal. It tasted and looked like it was made with chicken bouillon cubes; it was very salty and did not taste anything like real Hollandaise sauce.
The home fries were raw in the middle and also extremely salty.
My friend’s meal was mediocre at best, especially with the faux Hollandaise sauce.
Service was interesting. Not terrible, but not good.
Next time, I’m cooking at home.

Walking inside it is evident that this restaurant caters too and is favored by senior citizens. Unfortunately the food reflects this. Although they offer a varied menu, none of the dishes are prepared quite right as far as flavor is concerned. For example they choose to batter their fish in a thick tasteless breading instead of a light egg batter. I would not say the food is awful but just adequate to suppress hunger without leaving a lasting impression or satisfaction. I must say that the service was great and the food came out fast. I would recommend the restaurant for breakfast only which is served all day.

Perfect diner and perfect diner food. I am quite the diner person. We have visited many diners in over 20 states and this diner stands out for many reasons: Pancakes with a donut texture, light biscuits, classic peppery white gravy, potatoes that are lightly flavored, bacon to make your mouth water and nicely cooked eggs (nothing worse than over cooked eggs)! I highly recommend Wild Berry Diner! And a good cup of coffee and classic friendly atmosphere plus super attentive staff that will chat with you and each other means that you should eat here too!

I had high hopes for this place. 5 people in our party and everyone thought it was SUB-​PAR food. Its like they aren’t trying anymore. Would be a great place for the show RESTAURANT IMPOSABLE to visit. Service was outstanding, the waitress took care of our every need and was always there asking if she could get us anything. I had the meat loaf dinner, their was two pieces of the thinnest meat loaf I have ever had in my lifetime. The gravy was very salty. My wife couldn’t even eat her meal, she order the pork dinner. She said it was tolerable. One of our party ordered French dressing for her salad, she said it tasted like plain old Ketchup. Maybe we hit them on a bad night. Maybe will try them for breakfast and give them the benefit of the doubt. I hope they do better.

I was craving a home-​cooked meal without the hassle. More importantly, something fried with mashed potatoes. You know good ol’ comfort food. Since this place is so close to my house, I decided to give it a whirl and get some take out.
Parked right up front, noticed a sign stating parking for greeks only. Hopefully they were joking because I am not. Lol.
Walked in and took all the old building appeal and chotskis in. What I am assuming was one owners, greeted me and pulled their tall special board over for me to review along with handling me a menu. He suggested the gyro sandwich, I should have listened. Instead I was swayed to order their fish and chip special. The fish pieces, not filets, were good, but not great. The peas were a bit mushy and the mashed potatoes were smooth and just ok. They were covered in brown gravy, which I did not care for. The dinners come with a choice of soup or salad. I got the soup, which was clam chowder. That too tasted not to my liking. It was thick and had a werid taste about it. Last in final item was their delightful homemade cram pies. The crust on the top was somewhat flakey, but once i cut into the pie the bottom of the crust had disiintergrated into chocolate cream. I tasted it was watery and flavorless.
I don’t understand. I had high hopes for this place from the reviews, but perhaps since the place was closing at 8:30 and the rush had just ended then that’s why things were off. The staff was nice and they had an A rating from Maricopa Health Department. I may go back, but maybe for breakfast as everyone recommends. I am sad because my craving for comfort food was not fulfilled. On to the next restaurant…

To know me is to know what being a foodie truly is. I just so happened to be in the area and we hungry and this place turned up in my search results. Being that I live diners and the reviews were good, I thought I would give it a go. All I can say is WOW!. I love the food!. I was in search for breakfast and I found it. Man did I ever.
This is the kind of Diner I have been looking for since moving here! I had one of their specials that came with 3 eggs, double bacon (you can get half bacon and half sausage or all sausage or all bacon), hash browns, choice of toast, and since my son was with me we added one of their Belgium waffles as we were sharing. Everything was wonderful. It was way more than enough for both of us and I am looking forward to going back again and often.
