Viva Mexi-grill

I want to do 4 stars but from my personal experience, 3 is the best I can give. There's a nice small mom and pop feel to this place. It's got a cute 50's vibe with the seats and the paintings all over the walls. The service was lacking and maybe even somewhat confusing. There are little phones at each booth that you use to order but the room is so small you can hear yourself and the person standing at the register in the middle of the room and it makes it very difficult to even understand them and concentrate on what you're saying yourself. I ordered a chicken cordon Bleu and somehow they heard a blue cheese burger. So I didn't even get what I ordered. They don't make it very clear that drinks are self serve and the guy behind the counter was pretty rude when we asked about it. They really need to make it more clear how their "system" works and not be so rude when someone asks for them to explain how we get our drinks and other condiments. Also, maybe it was just where we were sitting, but for most of the meal all we could smell were wet dirty dishes. It almost smelled like a mop bucket with chemicals in it. We'll probably be back to give them another chance because the food wasn't horrible, but they need to fix a lot of issues.

Good Food. Good People. We've been coming here for years and NEVER had any issues. The instructions to order are CLEAR and on the front of the menus. Old school decor. I'm always greeted with a happy, friendly smile. These guys and gals work their butts off. Food and vibr is ALWAYS amazing here. 🥰 The BLT and cheese fries are my favorites, the ribeye steak is my fiancée and the kids always like their options! And Breakfast the country fried steak and that pepper gravy is AMAZING!!!!!

I've visited the Hot Rod Diner twice now. The food was prepared quickly and was VERY tasty each time. The grilled quesadilla was a nice appetizer. The chicken fried steak was tender and full of flavor with yummy white gravy on top. The baked potatoes were fully cooked and so good we ate the skin too. The scones were small but perfectly cooked. The honey butter was just the right amount for the scone. The blackened chicken pasta was perfectly cooked and the garlic toast helped sop up the leftover Alfredo sauce. The ribeye steak barely needed a knife to cut. At $15 it was the most expensive item on the menu, but worth every penny. The chef's salad was a meal in itself with a nice blend of meats, cheeses and boiled egg. Their prices were very reasonable, especially with the senior discount. The service and food preparation were very fast! We dined in and were out in less than an hour, even on a busy night. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Hot Rod Diner and will be back soon.

We should have walked back out. The restaurant is filthy. It's a self serve diner. There was a woman, a boy and the cook working, but only the cook did anything. We walked in right after another couple. The received their meal right away. Our meals waited until after the woman working and another man were served their meals AND they finished eating. I checked on when our food would be ready, the cook pointed to hashbrowns cooking. We waited another 15 min after that. Although it tasted good, the food was overdone on one side. As we were leaving, I saw 4 tables piled high with dishes, unswept floors, the grill had grease soaked towels underneath, the restroom was filthy. DON'T GO, it's not good enough food to take the risk.

This is not your 5 star dining location. This is your comfort food, comfort feel restaurant. Prices are not crazy, so this is a good place if your on a budget. So you look like a pro when u go in: you seat yourself, you order from the red phone, you get your own utensils, drink, toppings, etc. only issue I saw was it’s got quite a bit of flies buzzing around.

This place was DIRTY! The bathrooms 🤢. I wanted to leave but my friend was dying to eat at a diner. The people don't even cone to your table for anything but to drop off food. You have to use this phone to order get your own drinks and condiments from a dirty station. My friend ended with food poisoning after eating their shrimp. The only reason they got two stars was because my Navajo taco was good, but who can't warm canned chili.

The only things making this place unique from other 50s aesthetic diners are more like inconveniences, such as having customers grab all silverware and dressings themselves. It's rather unusual to have to phone in an order at a table too, which even 50s diners like Legends don't do. The food has nothing particularly special about it, fairly mediocre, and definitely not many healthy options aside from salads. Which, by the way, their salads seem like store-bought quality, at best. One can definitely make a better salad on their own from fresh store-bought ingredients. Portions of everything are quite small. I went in with a group of four, and every plate was only 1/3 full. These are typical dinner-sized plates you'd have at home too They employ children around the age of 10 too, which I would have no clue how they get away with that. I would recommend most other diners over this one

I don’t write reviews often but I had to speak up this time. My family and I decided to check out this cute diner and while we thought the atmosphere and theme were fun, we were very disappointed in our service. Many times when we had questions about our food and our orders, we were treated rudely and like we were supposed to know how their system works with drinks and ordering. It just feels like the employees in there have seem to have just given up or they don’t care to be there. I almost couldn’t even tell who actually was actually an employee because there was no uniform or any sense of professionalism. I could tell it was understaffed and I know that is a common problem these days but that was not an excuse to be lazy regarding basic customer service. There were also far too many flies and the floor looked like it had not been mopped at all. The food wasn’t terrible but I’ve had better diner food. Overall, it was not a very pleasant experience and changes need to be made.
