We both ordered the cheeseburger which was great. It came with fries. New owner and trying to get things established. I would eat here again.

Great spot about halfway to Sedona from Phoenix. It's well and truly a hidden gem. As others have said, the burgers are great. Worth a stop if you're looking for a classic American fare.

Five-stars! Cordes Diner is a great place for a Friday night date-night. Hubby & I enjoyed the food, the 50’s vibe & the service was top-notch! We ordered the green chile burger & the red chile burger. Best burgers we’ve had in forever; the onion rings & fries were cooked to perfection Thanks, Shawna for the awesome service!! Wishing the “new” 50’s diner all the best

Under new ownership in last 2 weeks. Still working on getting staff and getting supplies deliveries setup, so some growing pains, but service was good with those challenges and food was excellent. Talked a bit with the owner and has several good plans in mind, so should see some great improvements ans changes in the next few months, give them a chance now so they can realise the better things coming.

The burger is excellent here! We grab a cheeseburger atleast once a week. The menu is limited because it's just getting started. I would rather give my money to a local business and a way better choice than the fast food places. Also, best breakfast in town! Biscuits and gravy is another great item. I would like to see some signs go up so the "pass thru" /truckers/tourist know they are there.
