Burger and fries were top quality and cooked to perfection! I've eaten here a number of times now and always have a great experience!

I've stopped in with new ownership and it's not worth the $6+ I spent on less than a scoop of soft serve ice cream. The service was OK -- unfriendly and not welcoming. Never spent over $6 for a few inches of soft serve ice cream in my life... next time Dairy Queen will be it for my treat! read more

Arnie's Place - Barbeque Near Me - Concord, New Hampshire

Place is a carry out with a few tables but the food is excellent. My friend got the pulled pork sandwich which was huge and he said delicious. I got a burger ( huge selection ) which was delicious. Good quality meat and a variety of barbeque sauces. The staff was cheerful and accommodating. read more

I looked up items on the menu. What we wanted was $30 for the "Pladda for Two" featuring three double-sized meat options, two sides, and cornbread. When I got there to order, the price was $8 more. Okay, prices rise. I ordered and was quoted a price. But, it was higher than quoted because of the 4% markup for credit. Okay.... Then, when I got home with the order, it seemed the portion of pulled chicken was small and we were missing the pulled pork completely! So I called. I was told I could drive back to get the missing portions. I said that was not acceptable. I was offered a refund. I thought that was better. I was told it would be $6, which seemed low considering the $38 pricetag (the large size of the side we ordered is $4, so $8 for double, let's say $2 for the cornbread, that leaves $28, split 3 ways should be $9+). But, I accepted. The resulting refund was $4.52 and not what was offered. It may seem like much "to do" about $1.48, but it is about all of it, each little thing piled on to the final, lowball outcome. read more

Review is only based on their BBQ food. Got the 2 meat combo with Ribs and pulled chicken, they had pulled pork and hot sausage too. At first look the chicken was all multicolored with the white and dark meat but also the amount of seasoning on each piece was different. I would say it was more "chopped" than pulled. Juicy meat, like it was stewing all day like some pulled meat dishes are made. A bit chewy for my taste but not terrible. Flavor was like a bad lemon flavor to me, not a fan. Rib came wrapped up in the tin foil that the chicken was in, I completely understand why they do that but its weird cause the steam and juice from the chicken make it seem like it was all cooked in the same foil. I couldn't grab the bones because they didn't stick out like St. Louis Style does. What I would call oven baked style more than smoked. A bit more tender than the chicken, but I just wasn't getting great flavor from the meat or the spices. The rub had a lot of very "dry" style spices, stuff that's neither hot, sweet, or powerful. So it really didn't make an impact. They told me the potato salad was one of their favorites. This potato salad is that store bought, sweet onion, miracle whip, red bliss potato salad. I myself really like this style but I know most people don't. Beans were Drowning in Gravy sauce. Some bacon or pork, some bell peppers, pinto beans. Bean didn't really hit me with flavor as much as the gravy did, but even the gravy wasn't much. Traditional New England style though, not bad. Cornbread came it it's own container and it was still hot! I don't think that is a regular thing but it was a good piece. It tasted like they have a generic store bought mix but then they doctored it a little bit to make it a bit better. Sauces were pretty thick, smokey was my favorite, but the meats were so juicy I would never put sauce on them. read more

Very disappointing. Small Servings,Large price and ice cream that did not taste very good.

Very disappointing. I had a craving for a chili dog and paid an additional $.50 for about a tablespoon of salting chili on a "toasted" bun that was dried out with no butter or oil to toast it. The onion rings had so much batter that you couldn't tast the onion and the larger ones were raw in the middle. The staff was great read more

It's hard for me to believe I'm seeing any negative reviews here. They're hard serve. Icecream is incredible. Homemade with TOP ingredients that they don't skimp on. All the food I've ever tried has been excellent. Their pork sandwich with at least six sauces to choose from is one of my favorites. Plenty of pork and good quality. It's one of my favorite places in CONCORD. read more

A must in NH! Pistachio ice cream was amazing!!! Staff was very friend and fast. They are closed for the season so make sure they're open before you go. read more

I understand they just opened from winter break, but you shouldn't forget how to make a burger. I ordered the Adam burger which features their pulled pork. First off the bun was a bit charred, nothing I couldn't over look. The burger nice charbroiled taste, but lacking any form of seasoning. Veggies were a nice treat, but a bit heavy on the tomato slices. Wife ordered the Arnie burger which is just their bacon cheeseburger. Nothing too spectacular, under seasoned patty as well, and no bacon to be found anywhere. As for the Chili Cheese fries, or lack of, tastes like canned Hormel chili and some tasteless cheese sauce on about a handful size amount of fries. I understand it's not a large order, maybe put it in a small container so it looks like your getting more? Overall not a great first impression for the summer season. read more

This is the sort of local joint every town needs...drive up and get an ice cream cone or a burger and run into your friends while you're there. Sadly, most of these "American Graffiti" or "Happy Days" places are long gone. Not so in Concord--Arnie's has been there for years and is still going strong, with a wall of "Best in NH" type plaques on the wall to prove it The menu features all the standard food made fast, plus some surprises, like Southern pulled pork bbq along with hot dogs and hamburgers of every description. French fries that are really good! Ice cream in about 30 flavors also on tap. Friendly service, and you can eat at a counter or take your food outdoors to a picnic table. The lines sometimes get long in summer, but don't be put off by them. Arnie's slings good food and the lines prove it. read more

We ended up being the last customer showing up a bit after they closed for the season not realizing they closed early that day. However, the owner was so nice and despite having no food or drinks left and no money in the till, she still made my elderly Mother a root beer float. I will always remember this act of kindness and we will be regulars once they open up again in Spring of 2022. Katyea Michael/Londonderry NH read more

Just on the ice cream alone my family and I got five kitty soft serve and it was a total of $19. A little over priced for a generic soft serve ice cream read more

Always try to get to Arnie's when we fly into Boston. It's a drive to get there (about an hour and a half north into Concord, but we'll worth it. The best burgers and shakes. The place is cute and the staff great. I would definitely go miles out of my way for a burger and fries at Arnie's!!!!!! read more

Delicious homemade ice cream. Also great soft serve. They also have great lunches and BBQ food on site. Owner hires local high school students and most work there thru college! Great place! read more

Very goog burger and fries on a Sunday night. Ive had Arnies BBQ in the past and it's quite good. This time I skipped the bbq and had the Arnie burger with fries. The Arnie burger, one of about 6-7 specialty Burgers offered, consists of a very decent sized beef patty, cheese, bacon, lettuce, red onion, and tomato. Burgers are probably most like Red Robbin but with a much more pronounced charbroil flavor that I really enjoyed. The bacon was nicely cooked and just the right thickness and texture. Veggies were very freach Fries were nicely crisp, roughly similar to Wendy's buy had their own unique flavor. Burgers are sole ala carte so can be pricey for a burger combo of fries and a drink. On the expensive side but a very high quality burger. Staff was very friendly and wait time on the burgers was reasonable despite a steady pace of customers. There was plenty of indoor seating at about 6pm along with a few picnic tables that were about half occupied. I always appreciate their self service station with condiments, and most especially, their selections of BBQ sauce that make a great topping for burgers. Worth a stop in the Concord area if you're looking for good BBQ and burgers. Of course, they're also a full ice cream stand as well. Perfect summer stop for dinner and desert. read more

Great local spot, Arnie's has been doing it for years. Burgers, dogs, sandwiches, and great ice cream. They are also active in many community efforts and initiatives. Love the coffee soft serve! read more

We have been stopping by here for treats for years. However, only recently we began ordering ice cream cakes from here too- and oh my are they AMAZING. Worth every penny in flavor and appearance. Super impressed with both cakes we ordered and the one we grabbed ready-made our of their fridge! read more

Absolutely Delicious! Had a little bit of everything and wasn't disappointed. They also have many different sauces to choose from. My favorite was a tie between the smoky and Carolina. The ribs were great. The meat, which there was a lot of, just fell off the bone . The chicken and pork were delicious, but the hot sausages were perfection. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful as my friend is looking into catering for her wedding. Tom couldn't have been any sweeter giving us samples of everything and "making" us try a sample of their homemade ice cream Can't wait to go back! read more

Good BBQ and homemade ice cream, but it's pricey. Arnie's Place is a popular seasonal ice cream and food restaurant, open during the warmer months, late February until Columbus Day weekend, which is a good place to go for creamy homemade ice cream and BBQ fare. They have outside takeout windows and another counter inside with dining room. The burgers are pretty good, I get the Bubba burger! The pulled pork is very tender with a dry texture, add your own BBQ sauce. The fries come out very hot and crispy. The cole slaw is pretty decent. The portions are modest for the price. The ice cream is very good, which has a dense creamy texture with good and around 60 flavors to choose from. My favorite hard ice cream flavor is definitely the Nazzy's Favorite, named after Nazzy from 98.3 LNH. My coworkers and I go here for group outings when Arnie's opens up for the season during early spring and during hot summer days. We all agree, the food and ice cream at Arnie's is solid good, but pricey. On my last visit back in the fall, I spent around $17 for a BBQ combo pladda, soft drink, and a medium ice cream cone. read more

I normally don't stop at restaurants with mediocre yelp reviews but today I wasn't using yelp to find dinner. Entered Arne's Place and ordered a pulled pork sandwich. Was delicious, no fat on it at all and the barbecue sauce was delicious. The sides are small, I got a side of baked beans. Looking back it was not the greatest deal. After eating I saw they had hand made ice-cream. After being offered a few spoon sized samples i decided to go with the apple crisp. Amazing... Btw for an after dinner snack one scoop is more than enough.....I made the mistake of ordering two. Service was friendly and sweet! Would definitely come back again if I was working in the area read more

We stopped in here for a late lunch after an afternoon at Home Depot down the street, and we were so glad we did. We each had a Bubba Burger - OMG. It was delicious. Everything about it was perfect. It was built well, the flavors were excellent, the bun was soft. It was amazing. We also split a side of mac and cheese bites - holy. moly. They were out of this world. I've had these before at other restaurants, and they're usually underwhelming with the cheese flavor - but not these. The pasta inside was al dente, it was cheesy, and the outside breading crispy and delicious. And for people complaining about the prices -- I'm fine with paying a bit more for delicious food. We will be back, and next time we'll be sure to get some ice cream! read more

Stopped by Arnie's Place yesterday as it was my nephews birthday and promised him ice cream. He chose Arnie's over Dairy Queen. While we were waiting on ice cream order, they were baking fresh made cookies for their ice cream sandwiches....omg! The smell drew you in....you could smell the baking cookies from the parking lot. Ice cream was great and very quick service. read more

Just go here. You'll not be disappointed. Burgers fantastic. BBQ - out of this world.

The prices here are unbelievably inflated. My girlfriend and I came here recently for a small soft serve come and a kiddie hard ice cream and we were presented with almost a $9 tab. For two tiny ice creams? You've got to be kidding me. I will be taking my business to Summer Freeze on Fisherville Road in Concord, where the prices are low and the portions are high. Arnie's Place is a complete and utter rip off. read more

I'm not sure how the food is, as I waited in line to order, the cashier kept a conversation with another customer not even acknowledging the customers waiting, and to top it off an older lady walks in, cuts right in front of everyone and they take her order immediately without recognition of others waiting. Piss Poor customer service read more

Have gone here before for its overpriced ice cream .this time we got 2 kids meals , a kiddie sundae and a small cone. Both kids meals came with 14 French fried and 3 Dino bites. Pathetic. The kids sundae was a small scoop of ice cream and it cost $20.00. That's ridiculous for what you get! Go to friendlys down the road. read more

Great food, friendly service, tons of options. Next time I'll try the ice cream. Thanks! Ben read more

I just had a great experience at this classic restaurant on the Heights in Concord. Super friendly staff and very efficient at ordering and serving the food. I had one of the best grilled chicken sandwiches and french fries I've eaten. The barbecue and ice cream are excellent too. Tom the owner is a very friendly guy and everything is squeaky clean. If you're looking for something quick and much more interesting than the usual alternatives, Arnie's Place is a must try. read more

At Arnie's you are family. How do I know this? I started working at Arnie's when I was 15 years old in 1997 and I still return for at the very least a few crazy fun shifts every season! The customers are amazing, the ice cream is homemade with the freshest, high quality ingredients, the food is top notch and the staff is like no other! Stop in try the great food, stay for dessert and have a conversation with the staff about your day! PS Arnies has hands down the best pistachio ice cream but if your are looking for something coffee based try the Mocha Blast, Peanut Buttery goodness? You want our amazing Peanutbutter cup. Feeling a chocolate craving coming on? All of our chocolate is made with a dark ebony base but the Extreme chocolate will complete your week! Not sure? We've got spoonfuls of samples, just ask! read more
