Arthur's Diner Reviews

The lady bartender is great and the atmosphere is old fashioned, retro, with groovy retro music. There are screens to watch all kinds of sports. The food was hit and miss. I had the elites, corn on the cob which was excellent but I did not care for the nachos. The cheese sauce wasn't very tasty. My friend had the BLT which she really liked. This is kind of a man's bar. But we felt welcome being two ladies.

They have just one thing (kinda) - chicken and rice. I think they had something else but not really. It's primarily if you want a small or large. It's not too big so I suggest you get the large. I thought it was OK. I think I can make my own that taste mostly the same, which is why I didn't think it was worth the price.

Packed on a Sunday night at 7pm with families, couples, and friends this was a delightful experience. Bright colors, dragons hanging from the ceiling, and amazing food. We had the shredded pork cooked in cocoa and coca cola, the signature chicken dish, and a wonderful soup topped with toasted garlic garnish. Cucumber water and complimentary hot ginger tea were a nice touch!
