    Entrance to restaurant

    This was a great experience that environment and food reminded me of a cafe/diner from when I was young. The food is high quality and large portions. The prices are very reasonable. Our server today was Lorena P and she was excellent.

    Good breakfast spot. Warm and welcoming staff. Humble ambiance. Food was good, straight forward fare. I can't recall what they called my breakfast special, but it included everything I wanted. Reasonably priced.

    Scrambled eggs  and bacon

    Wife and I stopped here for brunch and it was very busy inside, but we were seated right away. Our waitress came right over to offer assistance and to take our drink orders. Of brunch I ordered the French toast with eggs and bacon and it was a really reasonable price. The meal arrived less then five minutes later. The French toasted tasted really good and the baked on was very crispy, but the eggs were very runny so I didn't eat them. It was definitely worth the visit.

    While visiting Six Flags, we found this old school restaurant nearby. It's the kind of place where you see pies in the display case as you walk in and you can buy a box of Junior Mints when you pay your check. We had omelettes and eggs with biscuits and gravy on the side. The omelettes were three eggs and loaded with ingredients. They were slightly overdone but the flavor was great. Biscuits were scratch-made and dense with a mild sausage gravy. If you want a stick-to-your-ribs type of meal, this is the place to go. Friendly service as well. Recommended.

    Biscuits and gravy.

    One of the best local diners, in the Arlington area. Me and my folks started going 2 or 3 times a month, and we've always enjoyed the food and atmosphere of the restaurant. The employees are always friendly and provide excellent service. Highly recommend going there on weekends, for breakfast!

    So. We decided to visit again just based off all of the other options around. Creatures of habit. The service was great. She was very attentive 100% of the time. The food was not as fresh this go round. My husbands chicken sandwich was dry. Asked for mushrooms and got maybe 4 slices. The feeling of the restaurant was HOT. The AC was not working. I saw a new fee added to our check for those who don't use cash. Bummer. If you are going to charge a fee to use a debit card, bring free fee ATM inside for your patrons to use. Here's what we had today in the pics below. We will be back. They were getting ready to close in a few hours. The service was worth the hiccups. I will bring cash.

    We came here for a late lunch around 1:30... was surprised this place is only open until 2:30pm. We were seated right away but menus took awhile to arrive... Our waitress came over asking for our drink order before we even got our menu. Our 3 kiddos each ordered a soft drink (which we assumed would be included with their kids meal... we were wrong). My husband and I each got a club sandwich with fries ($9.25) and our kids got pancakes and bacon ($5.25) and chicken tenders and fries ($5.25). The shocking part is that the 4 sodas ordered came to a whopping $10 ($2.50 EACH!) In addition, if you're paying with a card, you will be paying the $1.67 transaction fee as well. Our server was friendly as well as the cashier. All in all, we all cleared our plates.

    Great, old school diner. Great breakfast and strong coffee. If I was closer I'd stop in weekly.

    Neighborhood Grill - Arlington - Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich with French Fries

    It was burger night and we found a well recommended restaurant that we drive by when traveling in…read morethe area but never noticed it. Maybe Kroger is so dominant that it over shadows the other business. The order counter is at the front with drinks in a refrigerator and home made tea adjacent. We sat ourselves at a table and started a conversation with a couple that frequently dines here. The man stated the French fries are the best in the area. They are double fried with Lawry's seasoning. They were eating their favorite, a Philly cheesesteak and. Chicken sandwich. We ordered mushroom Swiss burger and Big Tex. French fries and sweet potato fries. When I tasted the fries, I confirmed the man's acclimation that the fries are the best around. Our burgers were equally good, very moist and cooked to perfection. The prices are reasonable. This is now one of our go-to burger restaurants.

    Delicious Char-grilled burger! I got a cheeseburger with no sauce. Great flavor burger with…read moreplenty of crisp fresh veggies on top. I'm not positive but they may be 1/2lb burgers! It was big! Everything is made to order so it did take about 8 minutes to get my food. I'm happy to wait for fresh food!!! Very Friendly service. The cook even brought my to-go order out to me at the table. They have a drive-thru on side of building that I totally missed seeing until I was leaving. From the website & it did show in my cheeseburger order today: "Our approach is simple: fresh, natural ingredients, and no shortcuts. Our team hand-preps everything from scratch each day to bring out the best in every flavor."

    I would like to say Firstly is that the owner (im assuming he was) he was super nice and…read moreprofessional he took his time with each table it also was early so take that into account. I had a few things Firstly the onion rings im a huge fan of them so when I ordered them and got it I was a little disappointed the batter was barely holding on and most pieces were in the basket. But the onions themselves were good even without the batter. I also had the bacon cheese fries. They were good I think they would have been much better if the sauce was a little thicker but that's juat the way I like it. The meat was good also but I would get it again. Lastly I got their chop house burger. This was the best out of the three had good flavor everything just went together can't say more it was a good burger. Now Lastly the restaurant it self. Like I said earlier I went when it just opened so everything was clean and tidy. I could definitely see the place getting busy later in the day but overall a nice space. Rating Food 7.5/10 Workers 10/10 Cleanliness 9/10 Atmosphere 10/10 Value 10/10 prices were super fair. Overall I give this place a solid 46.5 I most definitely will try to go back.

    Chop House has been long been one of my favorite places to eat in Arlington when I go home to visit…read morefamily. Its outward appearance may seem unassuming, but the food is awesome. The brisket burgers are flavorful, juicy, and filling. Their onion rings are also amazing, thick cut, and crispy. Additionally, the value is great. Amazing food at an exceptional price! Our service was quick, and our server Derek was incredibly thoughtful. Chop House has moved around a few times over the years, but the quality of the food has stayed constant! I'd recommend to anyone wanting a good meal, a spot to watch a game, or a game pool with a cold drink.
