    Cute retro dinner. Super clean and great service. Food is delicious
    Debbie R.

    The food & service were both amazing. Super clean and organized restaurant. Walking thru the door is like stepping back in time

    We were staying at White Mountain Motel and Cottages and before heading to Mt Washington, we were searching place for breakfast, little did we know, it was just near the hotel. Small-cute diner, river (or creek) flowing backside, the previous night, there was a storm and ofcourse due to old, outside sitting was closed. We got our table inside and the server was quick to get our order. We ordered coffee and Veggie Omelet with wheat bread (Onion-tomato-pepper-spinach) Florentine Omelet (Spinach -feta cheese & homemade fries) and french toast with cream home made fries- it was a bit hard - other than that you wanna come here for splendid breakfast. I talked to them, got some insightful tips and proceeded to our destination Mt Washington summit- here we come!

    We were on the way back from Flume Gorge and unexpectedly stopped at this diner. It doesn't show up in maps too well but is a hidden gem! Genuinely some of the best diner food we have had in a while. They serve breakfast all day and their pancakes/french toast are to die for!

    This is a real diner!!! While we were vacationing in the White Mts. my SIL spotted this diner and wanted to try it. I quickly got on Yelp to check out what people were saying about it and we were good to go!!! We stopped in on a Friday morning and we were disappointed to see so so many cars parked in and around the diner. We parked up the road and walked to the diner figuring we would have quite a wait, BUT there were seats available!!!! There was 7 of us going out for breakfast and they had 7 seats at the counter!!! Yay!!! We all ordered our breakfasts and our server passed out crayons to the kids so they could color while we waited for breakfast. When our breakfasts came my grandson who had ordered home fries was disappointed that they had paprika on them (I love paprika!!), but our lovely server brought him back a new order that didn't have paprika on them (yay, saved the day). This was a real diner experience, the food was delicious (I didn't want to get out of my seat to start taking pictures of everyone's food, but I saw some steak and eggs and waffles!). Our server was amazing and made sure our coffee cups stayed full. We'll definitely stop in again on another visit!!

    The food and service here in unbelievable, it's a true hidden gem. I've been visiting the Lincoln/ Woodstock area since I was a little kid and just recently discovered this diner. Every meal that I've gotten here has been 10/10. My family and I make it a point to stop in every time we visit, can't wait to come back!

    Such a charming little diner. Arnold's serves classic American diner food. Everything was delicious. We actually went back the next day for more! I also tried the homemade corn beef hash which was so delicious! We visited on the weekend and it was packed! With a 20 min wait. When we came back on a Monday, there was no wait. The servers are nice and the food came out quickly. They even had mimosas!

    "Stuffed French toast"
    Bill L.

    Unfortunately the food was disappointing to say the least. The western omelet had potential if they had cooked it all the way through and the egg was not still wet and runny inside. The "stuffed French toast" was the most disappointing part of the meal. It was 2 pieces of French toast with a hard slab of cream cheese on the middle and a couple slices of strawberry. Maybe putting the cream cheese in the mixer with some vanilla and a little sugar or something to smooth is out and whip it up a bit?? The service however was great. The guy out front was super friendly and did a great job interacting with the customers. The place is small and has the old 50s diner feel to it. They could definitely do some mowing and weed whacking out side where people can sit and clean up a bit but it's also still early in the tourist season so that may be why it's not looking too great on the outside at the moment.

    Bonnie's Steak and eggs with home fries and wheat bread.

    This was our first time here. It's definitely a popular place. We were lucky to get there in time before the place filled up. I had Bonnie's steak and eggs with home fries and wheat bread. My friend had the Arnold's two eggs and corned beef hash with beans and wheat bread. The food was good. The staff was friendly.

    Great place, good food, so you know the address is 98, not 93. Try the pancakes if you like them thin like I do.

    We came on a chilly Thursday night. There was a line…read moreoutside. Each menu item is on an individual piece of paper on a magnetic board on the food truck itself. When something runs out. Somebody then comes out and turns over the menu item like Vanna White! And the customers moan. That was fun to watch!!! We waited about 45 minutes but it was worth the wait! We ordered Beef Stew. Caesar salad Hand cut fries Cheddar Brocoli Soup. The Soup could use more Cheddar in it. We will Definitely be back again next time!

    This place was great! A friend of mine and I took our kids to the Ice Castles nearby last month and…read morestopped in here for dinner afterwards. I had read reviews online and they were all great, and I have to say - they were spot on! The place was interesting - you walk in and you aren't sure you're in the right place lol. You first walk into a storage/garage area of sorts. But once you see the sign and make your way up the stairs you find the restaurant. This place was great for families. They have picnic tables and some are bigger than others - which was perfect since it allowed our group of 7 to fit comfortably at one table together. They had games you could use while you waited for your food. And lots of kid friendly food options. The food was very good as well. Everyone enjoyed their meal. I had the ramen and it was delicious. It may even be the best ramen I've ever had! If you are in the area and looking for a quick place to stop in and eat - I'd definitely recommend it!
