This Chandler Diner Serves Hefty Breakfasts And Chicken Fried Steak In A Full-On 1950s Setting
Red leather bucket seats that look borrowed from a vintage car wait inside one Arizona diner. Oldies play overhead. A wall honors famous faces who have stopped in for a bite.

The Kolache Cafe (Mesa, AZ)
About every six months or so, I’ve been visiting my parents in Arizona, either to help them out, or as a short visit on the way to various backpacking trips. Near my parents house in Arizona is a former Arby’s that has held a good number of different small restaurants in its post-Arby’s existence. Until a few years ago, this was a semi-failing location of Dickey’s Barbecue, which is one of the poorer renditions of Texas Barbecue. But then Dickey’s closed, and the place reopened as a location of the Phoenix-area chain The Kolache Cafe, a bakery chain that specialized in another Texas-specific food: the Kolache.
