    Absolutely delicious. Little diner sitting against old train tracks. Super busy but gentleman had a smile and explained what they were known for. Love finding hidden gems Cash only but less than 20.00 for 2 sandwiches and 2 drinks.

    Triple meat with ketchup!!  So good

    Food is always good, small little business with friendly service. This place brings back so much memory

    What made me skip first mod freshman year in high school (double meat boothmill sandwich)
    Skyla C.

    Arthur's has been around for as long as I started freshman year in high school which was back in year 2000. He was famous for his boothmill sandwiches and I remembered I used to skip first mod in high school just to come and have his breakfast sandwich. It's like everything on a breakfast plate in a sandwich . Very unique and so delicious. But after his wife passed, arthurs had sold the diner and the sandwiches hasn't been the same since . Still taste good but not as good as when Arthur's wife Dot was around. I still stopped in every now and then when I'm in town and have the crave for it . Still looks the same and nothing has change since I been coming here for about 17 years. I would suggest you stop in if you're in town and wanted some good breakfast . I promise you won't be disappointed.

    Single meat, bacon Bootmill sandwich.

    Great greasy hole in the wall breakfast joint that is cash only. Made famous for their breakfast sandwich called the Bootmill. Fried egg,hash browns,cheese, choice of up to three meats.( single,double,triple) bacon ham or sausage or all of one type. Basically a heart attack in a Bulkie roll. Oh the pleasures of life. I used to drive 20 min here out of town before school in the am just to get a Bootmill and if I would run late to home room then I would have to buy my teacher one as well ;) Very much recommended for breakfast and for lunch head to Esspresso pizza, right down the road for the best pizza around.

    Arthur's Paradise is part of what makes Lowell the great city that it is. Walk in the door and you'll be greeted with a friendly smile, and that greasy spoon diner smell in the air. The Boott Mill Sandwich is the staple dish - egg, cheese, hash browns, and choice of meat on a bulky roll. There are plenty of other places in the city that have tried to copy it, but Arthur's is the original. The atmosphere is no frills, the place is housed in an old diner car. There are about a half dozen booths, and maybe 10 stools at the counter. While you dine there's a good chance WCAP (local radio station) will be playing in the background. Aurthur's is mainly a breakfast place, but they do have a couple lunch items like hot dogs and burgers on the menu.

    Bootthill sandwich!

    I loved this little diner. I was told people come from all over to have their boothill sandwich and I can see why! The sandwich was huge for such a low price. I couldn't even eat the whole thing!! Very friendly staff and great food for a low price.. Couldn't ask for much more.

    An authentic Worcester Diner car#727, circa 1937

    Granted, I haven't had anything except the double meat Boott Mill Sandwich, but it is worth the $5 offering for a genuine stick to your ribs breakfast meal. I also enjoy the fact that it is an authentic Worcester Diner car#727, circa 1937. When I went the clientele was a combination of Lowell High students, construction workers, and local suits. The takeout business (myself included) was incredibly brisk. Who could resist having egg,sausage,cheese, and homefries in a roll...although a sandwich, it is still difficult to consume while driving. But this is a business primarily built around one breakfast sandwich, and does it well. Pictures attached. Highly recommended.

    What a joke. Burnt food and bad service. Only takes cash - guess what it's 2020. This place is in business only because there is no other place for breakfast. Stay away!!!

    Must try the Boot Mill if you visit Lowell. But it does not taste the same as it used to back in High School during 97/98

    Did the prices went up for the single meat sandwiches ? I paid 46$ for 4 sandwiches.

    From what I know the Boott Mill sandwich is still $7.50. Did you get extras? Next time I'd have the guys tell you how much it is before they make it. Works for me.

    The first time I went to The Restaurant Named Rick's Diner I was Blessed with a GIFT Certificate…read more The young Lady that I talked with is the Nicest Kind Person. She is like an Angel. I was there for a while to decide. then For Breakfast I ordered the WINDMILL sandwich. It was Very Delicious. I'm for sure Appreciative for their Prompt service and the Ambiance is quiet and peaceful. I didn't take a photo of the windmill sandwich However when I was there today I decided. I then ordered Iced coffee, JUMBO French toast with 2 sausage patties. It was cooked very fast and was ver delicious. I'm appreciative for their kindness to Me. CHRIST BLESS Ricks Diner AMIN.

    Simple eatery with minimal, low-budget decor. It's cash only, so come prepared or be prepared to…read moreuse the questionable ATM. -- Omelette: Good. Veggies creatively placed both inside and on top. -- Home fries: Plentiful and crisp, but I think no seasoning other than paprika. Bland. -- Pancakes: Nicely browned, but a little bland. Decent. Syrup handily in a table dispenser, so no need to ration. -- Sausage Links: Around 3" long and pretty much store-bought equivalent if not literally store-bought. Decent juiciness and flavor. -- Coffee: Better than Jiffy Lube, but most of the fast food places have better coffee. -- Service: Cordial but distant. Overall, good enough to get the job done if we're in the area and need breakfast now. But not destination-worthy, nor likely to join the breakfast rotation.
