The Yummiest Diners in Arlington

Taqueria Pepe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (41)

"Good street tacos at a reasonable price! Their salsas are flavorful and got some heat to them. I like them both the green is a thicker salsa and the red pours easy on your tacos. Both of them pair well with whatever you order. They provide you with 2 salsas one of each with your order. I ordered 3 tacos and got two salsas. Today I ordered 6 tacos and asked for more than the two they provided. So he charged me .50 cents for each extra salsa I ordered! I don't mind paying for the extras as long as I can get what I want! But I believe it's reasonable to assume that the more tacos you ordered you would get a couple of more salsa's with the order? I do understand a small business watching the controls as some customers would take as much as they can get for free! I'm just a person who really likes my Mexican food to be drenched in salsa! I normally use one container per taco if I'm able to get it? Sometimes it's a hit and miss? But like I said I don't mind the extra charges for the salsa cups I wanted! I just think two cups is just not enough for 6 tacos and this time it was hard to pay that price!He did give me the taco Tuesday prices but by the time I paid for the extra salsa it made it regular price so I guess I save $2 so that's somethingGo check them out they i'm at dialysis have a drive thru and are fairly quick with the orders and I've like everything I've tried so far! Just keep in mind the extra charge for the salsa as it's posted on the menu board as well"

"tried the onion rings and they were delicious! it's a large serving and i had plenty left over to reheat in the air fryer the next day. they have a drive thru and the ordering process was simple, the guy who took my order was nice and they were really fast even though they made my order fresh."

Jr's Cafe of Saginaw

"Best breakfast in town!Eggs are awesome and are cooked as ordered. Hash browns cooked right. Only thing was the honey, it kinda tasted weird."

John's Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (288) • $$

"Old school diner type cafe...no frills, but the counter employee was friendly and I'm excited to see if the food lives up to the reviews. FYI - You order at the counter before finding your seat. Food was very good. Bacon was crispy and the potatoes were well seasoned. No complaints at all and would repeat."

The Sporting Club

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (34)

"DO NOT COME HERE. When I got here, I SPECIFICALLY asked the door person if there is free seating. He said yes and pointed to the wood tables. Said they were free all night. I told him I have an injured hip, so was he sure we could sit there all night and watch the fight. He assured us yes. We ordered food and drinks and was celebrating my mother's birthday day. We were one fight away from the main card and a guy comes over saying they sold our table for $500 and we had to get up and move. UMMMM WHAT. I told them we were specially told we could sit here all night and the table was free. He goes to say that they can sell the table at any given time throughout the night. UMM WHAT. So why wasn't that mentioned. Not only that - There was another wooden table top across from us with caucasians, including men, but they sell the table with black females only. Hmmmmm ok. So, with an injured hip, I had to attempt to stand and watch the fight - but ended up leaving. Not to mention barely any of their sections, that cost over $1000 to reserve, were filled. MOSTLY EMPTY. So at this point y'all are being greedy. Where are your actual customer supposed to sit if you're selling the free tables and removing all the chairs around the bar. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE. THEY DO NOT CATER TO THE CUSTOMERS ONLY THE MONEY. WILL NEVER RETURN. THEY RUINED THE NIGHT. Happy Birthday Mother"

"Great delicious food! Love the weekend specials, one savory the other sweet. Yum! Our favorite server is Kiley. 5 Stars!!!!!"

Mama's Daughters Diner

★★★★☆ 4 (174) • $

"This is a quintessential American diner. When you walk in, it's like every great diner you've been to your whole life. Chicken Fried Steak - very good. Biscuits - excellent. Soft and dense. Gravy - very good. Pancakes - excellent. These are heavy, not light and fluffy. But they are really good. Cinnamon roll: goodEggs - ordered over easy, came out over medium -hard. Bacon - really goodSausage - goodMac-n-cheese - very good. (Son says, "it slaps."It's fast paced, busy, packed, and yet the service was great. Go in expecting a diner experience with good food and you will get it."

Stop by and God bless..."

Babe's Chicken Dinner House

★★★★☆ 4.1 (884) • $$

"Babe's Chicken Dinner House is always good!!! My family and I have been visiting Babe's together for over 15 years and it has long been a favorite gathering spot for holidays or special occasions. The food is great, the service is attentive, and the atmosphere is unique - creating a memorable dining experience. At the Arlington location, the interior is decorated as if you are in the midst of a small southern town. The facades of businesses line the walls and fake chickens are placed on any available surfaces. The lighting is dim with cozy string lights and neon signs illuminating the corners of the restaurant. The food is all served family style with large entrees and bottomless sides & appetizers. For $20 you can choose between smoked chicken, fried chicken, fried catfish, chicken tenders, or chicken fried steak (I'm not ashamed to say I've tried them all over the years). Each entree is served on a large platter and is definitely enough for more than one meal! The appetizers include an iceberg lettuce salad with a simple vinaigrette and biscuits. It may be the nostalgia talking, but I believe their biscuits are the best in the world. After getting full on salad and biscuits alone, your meal arrives with family style green beans, mashed potatoes, creamed corn, and gravy. The sides are delicious and you can ask for more of whatever you like! Their fried chicken is crunchy and juicy - and tastes amazing smothered in gravy. After you've eaten so much your top button on your pants bursts, you can take home the leftovers in plastic bags lined along the walls and pay up front on your way out. The servers used to dance the hokey pokey every hour - but I fear they've stopped doing that (at least at our most recent visit they didn't). In all, Babe's is an amazing value and a memorable family-friendly dining experience! I can't recommend it enough."

Tom's Burgers & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.8 (398) • $$

"Searched online for a burger place and this came up in our search. We like what the webpage had to say. We were not disappointed. For sure that old time diner feel. Our server Carolanne was amazing. Burgers and fresh cut fries for both of us. One added a fried egg Burgers was cooked as ordered. $25 for 2 people for lunch........can't think of another place for great food at that price."

Abby's Place

★★★★★ 4.5 (13) • $

"Blink, and you just might miss it! Abby's Place has been here for a while now, and still remains one of the best little diners in Granbury. Perched right off Fall Creek Hwy (Between DeCordova and Pecan Plantation), Abby's Place delivers great basic diner fare for a great price. Everything from Burgers to Philly Cheese Steaks (and everything in between), this quaint little diner really delivers! Occasionally, they will even have some "ethnic" specials like "Chicken Curry." Great selection of diner favorites, and fast/friendly service. The regulars love it, and so do I. Very well kept and clean. Just can't beat it!"

Pioneer Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (369) • $

"Great homecooking spot. Service was great. Place was busy but service and food were quick."

Yesterday's

★★★★☆ 3.7 (81) • $

"Ok, so this place is super cool! We live in Ft Worth and don't make it out here often, but when we are in the area, we like to stop in. The ambiance is great but the food is even better! There is so much to look at, the wait for your food seems almost non existent. There is also mini juke boxes at your table where you can control the volume of the music - 50's of course!We've had the chicken fried steak, hamburger steak, catfish, fries, mashed potatoes, okra, green beans, just to name a few. Also, the peanut butter chocolate shake was to die for! Service is always good and staff is friendly. They also sell merchandise if your interested. We never have, but it's cool to look at as well as all the memorabilia. If you're in this area, I suggest stopping by, even if it's only for a plate of piping hot fries and a milkshake."

Metro Diner

★★★★☆ 3.5 (120) • $

"Decided to take my nieces to breakfast here to celebrate school being over (18months to 6yo). We piled into a booth and proceeded to order a good portion of the menu--omelet, french toast, regular toast, biscuits, pancakes, T-bone, scrambled eggs, etc. Plenty of traditional diner fare.The cookery choices on the steak were "medium well" and "well done", I chose the former but got the latter. Eggs were ok, biscuits a bit burnt, but otherwise everything else was pretty unremarkable. The kids enjoyed all of their meals. Service was friendly but choppy (my Spanish proficiency was as good as our waiter's English) and the high chair we asked for was not clean.Overall, though, this place was okay. Hit most of the points I'd expect for a local diner--down to the eclectic music playing--and I'll likely come here again."

The Barrel

"Let's preface this with first! How in the hell did we not know this place was here 5 years living right down the road! I am head over heels that we found this Amazing Place!If your a Bourbon Connoisseur they have you covered!If your a Wine Connoisseur they have you covered!If you enjoy Great not good but great food Chef has you Covered!You want Personal attention from your waitstaff, they have you covered!You want extremely clean and well kept they have you covered!If you want Food that makes the pallet dance with excitement waiting for the next course this is a place for you!Don't rush it take it in, the atmosphere, the taste, the smells of exquisite food.We came in and were promptly greeted by Ashley who seated us immediately.First thing that was noticed was the placement of the Silverware, which was polished to a brilliant shine, the Wine and water glass, not a single spot as one would expect in a fine dining establishment.Our Waiter Xander quickly came to the table, and when asked about house favorites was quick and knowledgeable about the menu and foods! Absolutely spot on descriptions, including the sauces and flavoring of the foods! We choose the Oysters and Deviled Eggs appetizers!What a great recommendation the Oysters were not only fresh ( clean and clear) the sauces sent with them were traditional and very fresh it is apparent in the taste!The deviled Eggs are not your Grandmothers Thanksgiving Eggs they are better just don't tell Grandma..My Wife ordered the smoked Duck meal, judging by how quickly she cleared her plate I can say it was beyond delicious, and she is picky as picky comes.I had the Ribeyes and I am a Beef purist, no sauces just give me the meat!Cooked perfectly, I didn't need a knife this steak was simply amazing, I have had 140.00 and Ounce WAYGU that was not nearly as tasteful and so perfectly cooked as this steak was. The sides were some mashed potatoes and asparagus both flavorful and perfectly paired with this steak. Now I orders three orders of the scallops with my steak as I love scallops, these were not dainty little scallops they were big and tasty. Perfect cook on the scallops seasoned just right still allowing that sea taste to come through!We opted for the homemade Bread pudding, wholly Mother of Mary! This dessert should be illegal it is so absolutely delicious you have to tart it all, you can be completely stuffed you will make room for this dessert!I can not say enough about how well we were treated by the amazing staff, our Waiter Xander was truly an absolute pleasure to speak with, and a consummate professional, his recommendations were spot on!We are planning our next visit and I guarantee you it will not be another five years before we return, so glad we found this amazing spot! To whomever owns this little slice of heaven Thank you kindly for providing this area with such An awesome and well managed establishment!"

Aledo Diner

★★★★★ 4.5 (51) • $

"This place is a regular lunchtime spot for me. The daily specials are priced low, with a great verity. Service is excellent to outstanding, depending on the obvious. Small town diner with big taste and curtesy. Cake with lunch till they run out!! Come early and don't clog up the system...this is no place to pull out your laptop, book, or hang out talking. They need that table"

Black Bear Diner

★★★★☆ 3.9 (191) • $$

"I don't usually eat breakfast but I love breakfast food. So when my friend suggested this spot for dinner, I was thinking we should save this for a special occasion weekend brunch kind of day instead. Little did I know, they serve breakfast all day! The inside was cozy and dineresque with a nature theme. The dining area was pretty large and spacious. The menus are printed on what looks like a newspaper and they include calories count for everything. They even have smaller portions for some of their dishes which is great if you're not too hungry or if the calorie count shocked you like it did me. Pierceson was our server and he was a super cool guy. He gave us some suggestions and was patient with our questions. Even though I was excited for breakfast, I wanted to try the dinner offerings too. In the end I opted for my beloved Benny. This one was the California Bacon eggs benedict which came with the standard English muffin and poached egg along with thick cut bacon, avocado, spinach, and grilled tomatoes. Now, the Hollandaise sauce was a let down as it was broken. The dish was still tasty but visually not appealing. The country red potatoes were delicious. My friend enjoyed her chicken fried steak meal. Overall, great addition to the area for breakfast any time of the day!"

Oasis Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (267) • $

"I came here for 3 reasons.1. Yelp review average 4 stars seemed legitimate2.Yesterday I ate at a place that takes no cash. This place takes only cash as pointed out in Yelp reviews3.One Yelper says the place needs updating and the seats are bad...im inOk I guess its 4. Im in the area for other reasonsIm happy to report the place is a legit hole in the wall! Yea!So lets review class. Yesterday I ate lunch at a place that had corporate chain written all over it. They didn't take cash.Today Im eating at a mom and pop owned for 40 years that,you guessed itTakes Only Cash!!!! Love it!So let me clarify a couple of things in light of some fellow Yelper feed back I received regarding my No Cash comment yesterday. I want everyting to be convenient for me the customer period. Im spending my money so If I want to whip out the Gold card Id like to be able to. If I want to lay a crispy C note with Benjamines portrait on it, I wanna do that. Taking cash leaves no one out.Not taking cash I believe restricts our rights and leaves a lot of folks out.Ok enough of that.Oasis restaurant has fantastic food at Fantastic prices. I was shocked when the waitress told me they'd been there forty years!! I've been up and down this street for 40 years. But the Decor of the place proves it.The waitress recommended the Migas(I usually dont do mexican unless well im in a Mexican food place) But I bit and wow it was delicious.Every single employee in the place was engaging and nice..Guy is definitely recommending a big ...Go!!!PS dont forget to bring Cash Only!!!"

"This place was very delicious, we were around the area for a mini getaway and found this place was near us. We were very satisfied with the customer service, our waitress was very attentive and sweet. The appetizers were very good portions to begin our meal. And the burgers were very delicious. If you plan on coming here definitely try their shakes. We had the golden monkey shake and it was so good, we hope to be back soon."

Division Street Diner

"We came for the Sunday brunch buffet, $15/person. The wait was about 10 minutes. The buffet selection was really good, especially the chicken fried steak with gravy, they also have an omelette station. You can get a free desert to-go pie or cake when you leave."

Shawarma Bites and burgers

★★★★★ 5 (13)

"New adventure for us. My sponsor was searching for "Burgers" when she came across a Mediterranean restaurant that serves burgers. It had good ratings. Off to south Arlington we go. When ordering she noticed the burgers were Lamb Burgers not "Ham"burgers made with beef. I ordered the Gyro Wrap to stay within the theme of the establishment. We each ordered a side of fries and a single side of Baba Ghanoush. The owner and staff were exceptionally nice, making the experience remarkable. My sponsor was very impressed with the burger and side dishes. It is placed on our return list."

Frisco Diner

★★★★☆ 4.4 (567) • $$

"Best pancakes in Frisco. This is a great stop for breakfast. The staff is friendly even though they are regularly busy. Their coffee is quite good too. I highly recommend."

Mama's Daughters' Diner

★★★★☆ 3.7 (148) • $$

"There are so many good things to say about Mama's Daughter that I'm not sure where to start. The cooking is perfect. The chicken fried steak is crisp and juicy. So is the chicken fried chicken. The gravy has a fantastic texture and is peppered just right. You'll want it on everything! The green beans with bacon are addicting. The cornbread is wonderful. The only thing here I'd pass on are the peaches because they're literally swimming in sugar syrup. Everything else is delicious. There's not a bad order to be ordered. The daily meat and three special gives you a an entrée plus three sides at under $12. It's a steal of a value.The only thing of better value is the service. You'll feel like you're a regular even if it's your first time. Staff is just attentive enough without being overbearing. They'll have that refill just before you realized you wanted it. That check will arrive just before you're ready to go. Their grins and pleasantries won't stop. The vibe makes you feel at a distant relatives home. Getting a table might be tough at lunch and especially after church hours. Arrive early, because even the small parking lot is tough to navigate. If you have a large truck this could be a problem. That aside it's a wonderful café inside and out that makes you feel at home."

Original Market Diner

★★★★☆ 3.8 (610) • $$

"Went in on a Saturday for a late breakfast. The place was packed, but we got a table. I ordered the whole hog omelet, my wife had the eggs Benedict. My omelet was very good and well cooked. The hash browns lacked seasoning. My wife's Benedict left a lot to be desired. The egg was cooked hard, and the English muffins were too tough to saw through with her knife. The star of the show was the biscuits. I could eat my weight in them! The server was attentive and very courteous, making sure we had everything we needed, including drinks to go. The atmosphere is full-on old school diner. Lots of people and lots of food. We'd go back if we were in the area, just might make some different food choices."
