“ Typical average diner food. Great small town atmosphere, great service, average food. This is the type of place for a routine brunch but not where you would celebrate, ya know? ”
“ The waiter had his hands full with a full restaurant. A sure sign the restaurant as good. I had a Popeye omelette which included spinach, and mushroom. I added Swiss cheese. Now there's a waiter that racks up the tab asking me if I want anted Swiss cheese. The food was served promptly. The waiter was pleasant. I would return. ”
“ I like everything about this place. Good food. Great people. Never been disappointed breakfast lunch or dinner ”
“ I love this place. It's quick, affordable, and they have a kids menu! My five year old loves it here and has had many of the choices from the kids menu. They have dinner on Friday and Saturday, and we've gone then too. I had the biggest crepe one Friday at dinner and it was amazing! Everyone here is super nice too. Even my father in law likes it here! I typically get a grilled cheese and a side of pancake to satisfy the sweet and savory cravings. ”
“ First time. Like to explore breakfast diners around the area. We are fans of canned corned beef hash which they had but the Cisco brand didn't do it. Many places we try make their own and we just don't like it. Eggs Benedict were great. And side of French toast was great. Coffee steaming hot. Tried to capture the steam in picture. ”
“ The hummus is good and they warm up the pita bread. We've had the falafel gyro, chicken gyro, Greek salad, fries and the chicken rice lemon soup. All very well made! We call in our order due to a dairy allergy for my son and the online apps don't offer that as an option. Friendly atmosphere and the prices are still reasonable. ”
“ You wouldn't know it by the name, but this is a stealth purveyor of Greek food! They are owned by the same family that owns Greek Corner down the road in Cambridge. I popped in one day recently to grab a meal to go, and the friendly server at the counter helped me finesse my falafel gyro order to my tastes. I haven't tried the baseline diner food, but the falafel was delicious and I imagine there are other secretly fantastic Greek delicacies in store for those looking for more than the typical bacon and eggs breakfast. ”
“ What a great neighborhood place! Super-friendly service, absolutely delicious food. Price is very reasonable. I just wish it was closer to my home!!! ”
“ This place is so good it's almost always busy! I took my daughter and my aunt here recently and we loved it. We had a Sunday breakfast for lunch (NOTE: On Sunday's they close early at 1:30 p.m. and thus only have their breakfast menu, not the dinner one). I've loved Arlington Restaurant & Diner since I found it over two decades ago. I just adore their breakfast selections, which are always cooked to perfection! My favorite go-to dish is the French toast with scrambled eggs, with crispy bacon and a side of corned beef hash. My daughter and aunt were equally impressed. The will soon opening late for dinner, so I anxiously await that time, coming soon! ”
