Description: I have eaten many times at Mr. D'z Route 66 Diner (Fig. 01) and have brought friends here on more than one occasion. The picture in (Fig. 02) is of my friend Mark Resnic on a visit in 2008 on a return trip from the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Albuquerque New Mexico. On my most recent visit on 01/25/2018, I took Bob Croke and Jim Herring here for a late lunch. Neither of them had ever been here before. Choosing from the 15 "burgers" on the menu, we each had a different burger and a different Ice Cream Frappe (Fig. 03). All were delicious. This old fashioned diner, serving traditional diner fare, and is best known for its homemade root beer and pizza. The diner is loaded with Route 66 memorabilia as seen in Figures 04 thru 06. Mr D'z, since 2000, has been operated by Armando & Michelle Jimenez, who have worked very hard to bring Mr D'z to where it is today....Armando has been a Chef for some 20 odd years, and has worked at restaurants on Catalina Island, Avalon, California, and most recently, before re-opening Mr D'z was the Suez Chef at the former Brown Derby at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Inspired by the everyday family cooking that we grew up with, you’ll feel at home while savoring a great meal in their casual and relaxed dining room (Fig. 05). Mr. D'z was also profiled in the March 2013 issue of Arizona Highways magazine. Full breakfast is served open to close, great Burgers, plus lunch and dinner entrees. With attentive service and a friendly atmosphere, it makes it one of the most popular restaurants on Route 66. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for good comfort food, quality service and a fun throwback atmosphere, all for a reasonable price. So stop on in and enjoy the atmosphere and make this a place to remember.
