Nana Dees Diner, Mesa

Nana Dee's Diner is easy to spot, sporting retro styling awash with bright aluminum and colorful neon signs. But while the traditional diner look attracts passersby, it's the menu, steeped in just as much Americana, that turns curious visitors into satisfied regulars.

• Breakfast: see griddle classics like pancakes and waffles join eggy omlettes like the signature Nana Dee's scrambler, which combines three eggs, diced ham, fresh pepper, onions, and potatoes, all topped with a shredded cheese blend.
• Lunch: Burgers and shakes join classic tuna-melt sandwiches and Monte Christos to keep diners trucking through their day.
• Dinner: When the sun goes down, big hungers come out, which is why Nana Dee's chefs craft hearty pot pies, finger-licking fried chicken, and chicken-fried steaks. Brownie sundaes, banana splits, and a rotating menu of homemade pies tops of tasty visits.
