Went here for the first time, and had a booth with very nice seats. Ordered the fried chicken, which was very good. I didn’t care for the potatoes and white gravy, and really didn’t like the soggy and overcooked-to-mush green beans. My husband ordered the Gyro omelette and a short stack of cakes. He loved his breakfast, which came with potatoes and toast. I will come back again to try to liver and onions; next time I’ll order a baked potato and see how good that is.

While the service was okay, the food left much to be desired. Carl ordered the fish fry with three sides, slaw, cottage cheese and green beans. He said the fish, slaw and cottage cheese were okay, but the green beans were tough and woody. I ordered the Greek salad. They were out of Greek dressing so I chose Italian which had a sweet flavor, not compatible with the salad. When the salad was served, I went right for one of the kalamata olives which I dearly love. To my surprise, it tasted like it has been soaked in kerosene or some sort of chemical. The waitress asked how the food was and I told her about the olives. When I told her of the awful taste, she said that kalamata olives have a different taste. I told her I knew that because I eat them several times a week. She said she would bring me some regular olives and brought a dish of sliced black olives which I ate on the salad — just not the same. The ambience is quite shabby. I had anticipated a nice dinner since several friends told me how good the was as well as being very affordable. I do not plan on returning.

I have been going to this restaurant for a long time. The owners had another place in surprise which they have recently closed. While they had the place in surprise the service and quality of food seem to decline at this place. Now they are able to devote all their time to this establishment and it shows. They have recently renovated it and it looks much better. Food Quality and service are very good I had an Angus burger with fries and a drink for under six dollars very good. This restaurant is frequented by local seniors especially on Sundays after church when you may experience long wait times. Overall impression the food the service the portions and the price are very good for a restaurant diner

Tl; dr: quick service, delicious food. No complaints at all. Full review: There are a few things I look for in diners: speed of service, and quality. This may sound obvious, with most of them serving the same items, but not all cafes/diners are equal. Now, I’m a satellite technician and I work all over the west valley. Whenever I have a lunch break, I usually stop at whatever is close. Today it happened to be royal café in sun city. While the area is predominantly senior citizens, I love breakfast more than any other meal. So I sat by myself and ordered my food(a #4 combo because I’m a sucker for eggs, pancakes, and bacon AKA the classics). The service was quick. I ordered, had my food, and ate it within 12 minutes. Also, the waitress was nice and she didn’t waste my time. She brought the check with the food so I didn’t have to wait. As for the food, it was all delicious. Fluffy pancakes, perfectly scrambled eggs, and crispy but not burned bacon. I tried this place in a whim and wasn’t disappointed.

The food was fantastic and the price was very reasonable. The waitress was very attentive and kept asking what she could do for us. We never had to ask for a refill on pop or water. The food arrived hot and quick. The décor is nothing to write home about, but if all you want is good food at a great price, then this is the place.

«Royal»…no way. Their ad in the Independent advertises all you can eat cod fish fry. We had the cod fish fry and the portion was plenty, but we were never given the option of getting more by the awful waiter we had. The Board of Health should look into the place for sure.

So… if you like lots of bland food for little money… this is your place. Stick to the breakfast foods if you want edible. A bit greasy spoon but, it is a café in an partially abandoned mall after all. Came twice so as not to skew my review. They do have specials which the older crowd loves… Wait staff was friendly. Owner, well. Let’s just say do NOT sit in the booth near the cash register. She actually leaned over me to hand something to the cashier??? FTF? I called her out asking for her to be aware of my personal space(I was nice enough not mention that her chest in my face which was boardering on twisted)…her reply? «it was only for a second, I am in a hurry». HUH? Gonna go two stars as the wait staff was on point, kind to my mom and tried hard to give a good experience.

Used to like this place, but it’s really gone downhill over the years. Forget trying to order take out – they either forget you called, or something because they never have the order ready! They started fish friday’s, and ever since their food(eggs especially) have this gross fishy after-taste. It’s a shame, because mom and pop sit downs like this are hard to find – and it used to be one of the best ones. I don’t recommend eating here, and honestly don’t know how they always have so much business. Maybe it’s the novelty, or people don’t mind the quality of food as long as it’s cheap enough.

If you’re in Sun City and are looking for a place to eat that’s local, this is the place. I found this place by accident bc I didn’t want to eat breakfast at Denny’s. The menu is pretty straightforward, and the prices are very cheap. The décor is definitely dated, but that’s probably how the owners keep the cost of food down. Just bc it’s cheap doesn’t mean it’s not good! The food was pretty good. My friend asked for soft scrambled eggs, and was delighted to get them. The bacon was crisp, and not greasy. We both got the biscuits and gravy, which was definitely filling. In fact, I couldn’t finish mine. If I’m in the neighborhood, I’ll definitely come back.

We’re done! We used to enjoy their breakfasts. Sadly, no more. Twice in one week. One weekend day and one weekday, both with the same result. Cold meals. cold toast, eggs, potatoes, bacon. No more. Not worth it at any cost.

My husband and I have been going there for at least 8 years now. We are from back east and when we found this place it was great, service was great, food great, it was our Sunday brunch place. They recently opened up a new restaurant on Bell and ever since then this place has been totally neglected. Service has declined, cleanliness declined, food has lacked and the owner could care less about keeping his clientele. Don’t even bother complaining he is the definition of apathy. It’s almost as if he wants the business to fail. So sad! Fortunately my husband and I have found another diner that is what royal café used to be. :-) I wouldn’t be surprised if they tank or get closed down soon.

absolutely disquisting!!! we went with my husbands parents for breakfast, and his dad ordered a breakfast burrito, halfway thru it he found HALF A ROACH!!! we called the manager over and showed the manager, he just looked at it and said«oh it happens…» we left right away and took a pic of the roach in the food, sent it to the health department, and they told us they had many reports against them.

Solid diner with rock bottom prices. Kitschy atmosphere, elderly clientele. They know now to fry. The skillet dish is very good. Stick with the diner classics and breakfast. Old school menu choices like the Diet Plate. Delightfully authentic with zero pretension of being anything other than a solid diner.

Was my first time to try this place… Was waiting for over 15 minutes until ANYONE will acknowledge you there… So got up and walked to the front to get menu … Then I asked casher … Can someone take order? Guess what? I just left!!! Obviously young people were not welcomed there! Not trying again !!!

One of the oldest and most established eateries in Sun City. The ambience is early truckstop, but the food has always been good and the service OK. We don’t go here often in the winter while the snowbirds are here because we typically would go Friday night or Sunday morning and there is usually a huge crowd(anywhere from 30 – 45 minute wait. Even in the summer it is crowded. The service is usually good but you can have a 5 – 10 minute wait just in line to pay at the register.

The place is… uh…a dump in a crap looking area, but the prime rib dinner for $ 11+ is a spectacular dinner, well cooked, tasty and a huge piece of meat! Good deal! I’ve eaten here a few times with my neighbors, never been disappointed in the food or the service… just this ain’t duh Ritz location or buildingwise. My friend eats breakfast here alot with her volunteer group. I think they have some $ 2.50 eggs, toast, coffee, hash brown deal then. She says it’s good, and being the superior cook she is I believe her. For a good, cheap dinner well done and good service, too… try Royal Café. They have TONS of regulars so they must be doing something right.

As snow birds we have eaten at the Royal many times over the last several years, but before I knew about Unilocaling. So, taking everything into consideration I can honestly say this is a great place for breakfast which is what we usually come for. They do a bustling business and on Sundays you have to get there early or you will hit the ‘after church’ crowd and then you have a bit of a wait. The staff is friendly and helpful and if it’s not busy they are fine with letting you sip your coffee and finish the crossword puzzle. We’ve eaten dinner there a few times too. I’ve tried the chicken breast and fish of some sort and was pleased. The baked potatoes are good, the salads are fresh and their dressings are great. The times we have had dinner they have usually served fresh green beans as the veggie. I have not tried their home made desserts but they look delicious. So, this place is really a very high three in my Unilocalimation.

Great Food, Great Prices, and Great Service. If you want to eat a place where they treat you better than family, this is the place. It’s been in business for years and it will be here to stay. Portions are large and food is great. You really can’t go wrong with anything.
