47 Best American Restaurants in Arlington

“My cousin and I ate there today and I am here to tell you the food was good but the service was amazing. Our server's name was Josh and in my opinion he should be cloned. Super friendly and super helpful. And as an added bonus, their butter cake was super fantastic. Needless to say, I will be heading back there soon.“

“The food was amazing! We went for a business breakfast. I had the biscuits and gravy and my colleague had the red velvet waffle tacos (I took a taste) - all of it was great! Come hungry! Good place to meet for business, friends or family. The service was awesome! Friendly and just the right amount of attentive. Highly recommend!“

“I recently had the pleasure of being served by Ricky at Mimi’s Café, and I can confidently say he deserves all the praise. From the moment we sat down, Ricky's warm demeanor and genuine enthusiasm made our experience truly exceptional. He was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our drinks were filled and our needs were met at every turn. Ricky offered insightful recommendations from the menu, which led us to some fantastic choices. His knowledge of the dishes and passion for the restaurant really shone through. What stood out most was his ability to create a welcoming atmosphere, making us feel like valued guests. He checked in regularly, but also took the time to share a few friendly anecdotes, adding a personal touch to our meal. Thanks to Ricky, our visit to Mimi’s Café was not just a meal but a memorable experience. I highly recommend asking for him on your next visit—you won’t be disappointed!“

“A great burger. From my first year in the bay area there was something special about Nation's Giant Burgers, scattered around the East Bay. A juicy patty, cheese, with the fixings a nice clump of lettuce, onions and tomato, thick slab of cheese and pickles. Great thick fries, and pies.. seriously the best pie I ever had was at a Nation's. Their Strawberry Tart only offered when in season, is just large strawberries, a tasty almost shortbread crust and whipped cream. The one I had in 2001, days after 9/11, the strawberries were bursting with juice, almost like a jam, the skin barely holding, and. not too sweet, not too tart... In Plant City, Florida they have amazing strawberries.. previously the best I had ever tasted, but these, from a California Farm is what they said, are always going to be the best. �Other than their Strawberry Tart, I like their Banana Split, Banana Cream, Chocolate Cream, Pecan, Blueberry... well.. all of them. Never a bad choice. How I like my burger. Cheese, no dressing, grilled onions, light lettuce. Then I get hash browns and ham on the side (sometimes one egg also) and add them to the burger. Anyway. yes. 👍 more, again.“

“First time here while watching the PBR world comp. The service was amazing. The atmosphere was exactly what I was hoping for. The menu offered more choices than I could make and the overall experience will keep me coming back when we are in town.“

“Great food and wonderful atmosphere“

“Simple, delicious, and friendly. What more could you ask for?“

“This is definitely a hood classic!!

Good atmosphere with a variety of different food options. Bonus they even serve Kool-Aid which is hard to find. Our favorites was the pork chops, fried chicken, fried rice and all sides come with large portions. If you still hungry after eating here you got worms lol !!

A must try place that will easily turn into a family gathering.“

“I've never had any problems with service or food quality. Food portions are big with decent prices. Everything is always so delicious and I've never seen a messy table. EVER.“

“Recently discovered this hidden gem! My new favorite place to catch a game and enjoy delicious food. I Had the Nolan Ryan cheeseburger, delicious! I recommend the Irish Nachos. I love all the Baseball memorabilia on display. This establishment was founded by former Texas Rangers manager Bobby Valentine back in 1985.“

“Leshly was a great server! She was very attentive and had a great attitude. The strawberry fields salad was great! Will definitely be back!“

“Awesome experience!! Highly recommend using them for drop off and pick up for events in Arlington!! Thanks for keeping my sanity !!“

“Had eight guests for lunch on 12/31/22. Food and service excellent, however, when we were about to leave, a large red roach fell from the ceilings onto our table. Unfortunate ending on what should not have been a joyous occasion.“

“First time at Connie's and it made a great first impression! My boyfriend and I found this place on TikTok and the food looked amazing. When we arrived, it was pretty empty, which made me a little nervous at first-but the food definitely proved that wrong.
We both ordered the Philly cheesesteak with the
5-piece wing combo. The wings were the perfect size, and we got the extra hot and sweet chili flavors 10/10! Definitely get them extra crispy. The cheesesteak was flavorful and paired really well with the chicken. The pricing is not crazy expensive and the portions are more than enough to eat off again.
We'll absolutely be back!“

“We had a great dinner and drinks Friday Night. Callie our waitress was professional and right on time for all ours needs. She really hustled. We will definitely request her next time. Oh yeah and it was Great Food too!“

“It's just a great place to have a delicious meal.“

“The Porch is the perfect spot for a quick home-cooked meal, and the salads are awesome! It's always great to see Giovanni, too!“

“Only come here for hot dogs!! I went to 2 other hot dog restaurants in this city and they both gave me inedible gross undercooked hot dogs. This is the only restaurant that actually properly cooks their hot dogs. Sad that other places that specialize in hot dogs don't know how to cook their own hotdogs. This place's quality is much better.“

“The staff was very friendly and helpful for our first time visit. With a World Cup competition creating extra traffic and numerous customers, the employees were efficient and our order was brought to our table very quickly and served with a smile.“

“Ate there last night! Food, chicken and dumplings, were great and the okra cooked perfectly. The waitress was awesome!“

“Nice restaurant and great service.“

“The party melt smashed was very delicious and it was more then enough for me. The thick shakes and the old fashion names of the soft drinks blew me away. The barrels of assorted pickles were also a bonus as well. I will definitely return here again and recommend it to others.“

“Ate breakfast here this morning food was good, service was slow but the shocker was seeing a "food tax" fee on my bill. No signage at entrance displaying an announcement of this new "fee". Cashier couldn't explain what it was for, why not raise your prices instead of sneaking this onto people's bill? Seems dishonest to me....“

“First time eating at Texas Style burgers & wings with my family and we were very impressed! Our orders were the hickory burger with bacon and chili cheese fries and a bacon burger with chili cheese fries and they were delicious! Only negative is waiting about 20 minutes but im sure theres a lot of orders and short staffed in the kitchen.We will be back for sure and i would definitely recommend others to check them out!“

“Great food and drinks 😉 staff is great“

“Very impressive Team serving up some delicious waffles with a smile to a restaurant packed with Dallas Cowboy fans. Thank you for your amazing hospitality Ladies ❤️“

“We come here about couple times per month and have never been disappointed. The food is always fresh and hot. You have to look into the Senior Menu - just enough good for an Old Fart like me and the drinks are free.
The staff is very attentive - especially my favorite Donna - tea glass always full and plates cleared quickly.
Ohhhhh
The Hot Rolls & Cornbread are fabulous.“

“6/8/2026 hats off to Lidia at the Golden Corral in Arlington, Texas off of 20 for being a greatest attendant to our table. We have not been there in a long time but great to have an waitress who gave good service to our table-👏🏽“

“This Dickey's has not only great food but also an amazing management team and staff. I placed a catering order for a Celebration of Life luncheon. The food was fresh and delicious, the delivery was on time and not a thing was missing from my large order. My calls with Sal, Ray and other staff members all gave me a feeling of confidence that my order was in good hands and that was exactly the way it turned out.“

“every time I go eat inside or food to go from Rockfish is good and delicious no complaints from me some of the staff is nice polite and very attentive. I would recommend Rockfish to anyone“

“Trey was amazing and very courteous. He’s definitely an asset for the team“

“A great place for takeout or drive through. Love the chicken, catfish, and shrimp dinners. The single dinners or boxes to feed a family are great deals. The sides are delicious from mashed potatoes to green beans and hush puppies. Always, remember the apple pie.“

“🤩Ordered the Thanksgiving Dinner to Go and it was great. Thank you.“

“The fried chicken is good, fresh, and hot. I’m glad they have one in Arlington! I will definitely be back. The service is good, there is a young lady that is taking orders, preparing the order by herself and is not missing a beat!!!“
