20 restaurants that will ruin your New Year’s Resolution

7. Welcome Diner – Phoenix, AZ
Everybody is welcomed at this famed Phoenix diner.
The Welcome Diner welcomes everyone who walks through their doors. No matter what you are, there is a dish here that will be for every appetite, except, of course, those who are looking to lose a few pounds in 2019.
This funky diner isn’t like the others on this list. For starters, the Welcome Diner doesn’t take on the appearance of a tradition greasy spoon. This diner is more of a “cool kids” type of place, one that serves drinks like mojitos to go along with the mouth-watering burgers that this place is known for.
So this diner is one that not only attracts Phoenix’s “regulars,” but also, those who are wrapping up a night on the town and need a cool place to chill out. That aspect of the Welcome Diner could turn some folks off in other cities, but in Phoenix, that is not the case.
Everyone loves the Welcome Diner for its friendly nature, cool vibe, and the food. Let’s talk about the food for a moment, because that’s what makes this diner such a legend. With a number of great, flavorful burgers and other homey staples, the Welcome Diner makes sure to put the food front and center.
And there is nothing wrong with washing down that comfort food with a tasty, strong Bloody Mary.
