We went to Arcade last Sunday for the fall foliage tour on the Arcade & Attica Railroad. Not sure…read moreof where we were headed we allowed for plenty of time to have lunch before the tour. There were a couple of choices, but the Farmhouse Cafe was closest to the train station. We were rewarded for being practical. A couple of us love taking photos of great looking dishes and fun new eateries, but we were so bowled over by the menu and the service and the size of servings and the beautiful meals that we forgot. Among us, we had an omelet, a Rachel sandwich, loaded fries, and chicken and rice soup. Forty minutes later by the time anyone thought of photos, our plates were empty. Five stars will have to speak for themselves.

My husband and I came here for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! We were greeted…read moreupon entering and sat in a booth. The waiter was friendly and offered recommendations. We tried the mango and strawberry lassi. They were refreshing and good to cool your palate with the spicy meal. To start we had the aloo tiki as an appetizer which had great flavor and a side dipping sauce we really liked. I had the chicken biryani and my husband had the goat curry. Both were packed with flavor. We got a side of garlic naan to go with it, highly recommend!! I'm someone who likes "mildly spicy" and I was good with mine. The waiter was very helpful with guiding us. There is a fun floor seating table in the dining room for a unique experience! Overall we will definitely be repeat customers and will encourage others to try Indian Bistro! The food was flavorful, portions were great, prices were on point, wait was minimal, service was friendly and welcoming and we left happy! They put a lot of effort into their restaurant and it shows!!

04/01/2026: We tried a few new dishes tonight and absolutely loved them!…read more The samosa chaat was crunchy, spicy, sweet, and salty. I loved the bite of the diced red onions and the tang of the tamarind sauce! I can see why it's a popular street food across India! The aloo gobi had very fresh cauliflower and gently cooked potatoes: It was the ultimate comfort food. My spouse and I couldn't stop spooning up more of it! I made a special request and went off-menu: Would lamb in spinach be possible? It was. Delicious!! The owner took very good care of us and made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable.

We stopped into Nellie's restaurant for a late breakfast/early lunch on a Monday afternoon…read more It was unusually quiet here today, so we were able to sit anywhere in the restaurant. Nellie's is a fixture in the rural town of Arcade New York. The theme of the restaurant is very rustic, with many taxidermy animals along the timbered ceiling. The service was extremely good today as we were greeted with beverages soon after seating ourselves. The menu is pretty extensive for a small place like Nellie's. They feature an extensive selection of juicy burgers, big wraps, full and 1/2 sub sandwiches, patty melts. The breakfast menu is very extensive and includes all the standard diner fare. Let me say that we have never had a bad meal here. The food is always on point! Today our little guys split an order of chicken fingers and fries. Plenty enough food for them today, as their appetites were rather small. The french fries here are what I would say are exquisite. I know they're only frozen french fries, but they're the ones that we prefer. They have a batter coating and they are cooked crispy on the outside light on the inside and also so delicious. The kid's chicken finger platter comes with two nice big chicken fingers, very tasty and extra crispy. My husband ordered a breakfast sandwich with Swiss cheese and bacon with scrambled eggs. His sandwich came on a large hard roll and the plate included a big pile of home fries. I ordered a quarter pound bacon blue cheeseburger. Definitely more than a person could eat at one meal. The sandwich included lettuce, tomato, bacon, blue cheese crumbles, and onion, a very refreshing garnish for this delicious sandwich. We all took part of our food home, and will enjoy that later. The restaurant is from another era, and the decor is very rustic, it's clean whenever we visit. If you're looking for a reasonably priced, well-made, breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Nellie's is sure to please.

John & Mary's is our go-to place to pick up a quick pizza in the Arcade NY area…read more We love the crust which has the right amount of chew. The sauce is perfection and the pepperoni is abundant and flavorful. Service is always fast and friendly and the dining room is like a community center. If you grew up in this area, you're sure to see someone you know!

I've eaten at John and Mary's since they occupied the house that sits in front of Koike Aronson…read more Loved it when they moved to the current building because it meant more options, more seats to sit down and eat, and frankly a better location. The service there absolutely sucks now. The "managers" suck and the quality of food has significantly dipped. Orders are consistently wrong, often times wings are tiny, and the pizza is undercooked. Frankly, I've all but stopped eating here. I think Marco's makes an inferior pie and wings, but at least I don't feel like I'm dealing with people who could care less about taking my money while giving me poor service and weak food. All good things must come to an end, I guess.

We found this gem of a cafe during a recent visit to Arcade. Our family of 9 was warmly welcomed…read more With a bunch that big, it can be a challenge to satisfy everyone. Well that isn't a problem here. An all day breakfast selection, burgers, wraps, subs, and dinner selections makes it easy to please all. Even a kids menu! Portion sizes are plenty and the flavors outstanding. Service was very attentive. The corner seating near the windows was just over the heat vents, and after a cold day, the warmth of the seating was fabulous. Not what one looks for in a diner, but it's hard to beat with a chilled behind. A true cafe we think you'll enjoy.

My husband & I are fairly new to Cattaraugus county and have found it hard to find really good lunch food - beyond deep fried stuff & pizza - but this lunch was really solid. A mustardy/tangy potato salad accompanied my dish. Hubby got a great burger tho the fries were really sub par. Still --- a very tasty lunch, and we'll definitely be back!

I prefer Marco's Pizza to John and Mary's Arcade, which has absolutely trash customer service and…read morequality the past several years. By contrast, Marco's has excellent customer service, but I gave it 3 rather than 4 stars due to a clear and consistent obvious lack of consistency. I generally order stromboli from them, but it's really hit or miss depending on the day. Some days the stromboli is big and golden brown and amazing. I'd give it 5 stars. Other days it's tiny, completely undercooked, and even missing ingredients. I'd give it 1 star. If they could make the 5-star stromboli consistently, my rating would be 4 or even 5 stars. The pizza is decent but the chicken wings consistently disappoint. I was in there recently and a sign said the wings were so small that they'd offer more than usual to make up the difference. Again, I'd much rather have consistency. Eat here on occasion because they can't be consistent, but I do love a good stromboli. Wish they could get it right

After a day of swimming at a local town park, we needed an air conditioned place to take the kids…read morefor dinner. Marco's to the rescue. The aroma of freshly baked pizza was so enticing, and drew us up to the counter without hesitation. The kids ordered the standard KID Meals: fingers and fries and a kid's personal pan pizza. Both come with a juice box. Our smaller boy, aka the "picky one" began devouring the fingers like nobody's business. I was glad to see that they were "real" chicken cutlets, not reformed chopped chicken product. Ok, so it was the best thing he ever ate! Our bigger boy eats pizza every chance he gets, as his mom works at a pizza shop in another town. He eagerly expressed approval of Marco's sauce and cheese! Life is good! I had the chicken souvlaki salad with a garlic breadstick. Very delicious and a great bargain at only $8.99! I strongly suggest that you put Marco's on your bucket list!

The cheesesteak was not chopped and had only a tiny bit of provolone cheese but the tots were crispy. My wife's panini was a grilled cheese and very underwhelming - one side was burnt and inedible and the curly fries were unseasoned and cold. It's a cute space though built in 2 real train cabooses.
