" I was so excited to try Arlington Diner based on all the good reviews. On a recent visit, however, I must say I was a bit disappointed. The service was friendly, but the wait for food was longer than expected. I ordered the pancakes and found them to be a bit dry. The environment was busy but felt cozy nonetheless. I think my experience was just a one-off, as I've heard that they usually serve great food. I might give them another try based on the rave reviews! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time we visit Arlington Diner, we feel like family! The owners are incredibly warm, and the service is always top-notch. My favorite dish is the falafel—it’s made fresh and bursting with flavor. My kids love their huge breakfast portions which means I never hear complaints from the back seat on our way home! The environment is vibrant with a touch of nostalgia. I highly recommend this diner for anyone looking for hearty meals that feel like home. " (*Curated Review*)

" Arlington Diner is a fantastic find! The environment felt very friendly and comforting. I ordered a meat lovers omelet, and while it was good, I expected a bit more variety in the ingredients. The service was excellent! The staff checked in often, ensuring we were taken care of. I’m looking forward to coming back for their famed pancakes next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had breakfast at Arlington Diner and it was fantastic! The service was friendly and efficient, which made us feel at home. I ordered the classic eggs benedict, and to my delight, it was cooked to perfection. The hollandaise was rich and creamy, unlike some places where it's too lemony. The coffee was strong and unlimited, definitely a great way to start the day. The only downside was that it was quite busy, so we had to wait for a bit, but it's understandable for such a popular spot. I can't wait to come back and try their pancakes next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" We discovered Arlington Diner during a weekend trip and decided to check it out due to its great reviews. The atmosphere felt cozy and welcoming upon entry. I ordered the Blueberry pancakes and they were massive! The flavor was delightful, and they topped them with fresh blueberries and real maple syrup. My partner enjoyed a hearty omelet filled with fresh ingredients, which I could see were of high quality. The staff was attentive, though at times it felt like they were stretched thin given the crowd. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our meal and definitely recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has been around for ages, and it's easy to see why! I stopped in after hearing rave reviews and was not disappointed. The cozy vibe makes you feel right at home, and the food was just as comforting. I had the stuffed pepper special, which was flavorful and incredibly filling. The service was prompt, and I appreciated the personal touch from the owners themselves. I liked the mix of American diner and Greek cuisine that adds a unique flair to the menu. I will definitely return to try their breakfast! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just visited Arlington Diner and enjoyed their breakfast! The atmosphere was very cozy, and the coffee was flowing. I had the omelette, which was decent, and the homefries were a bit underwhelming. Still, the warmth of the staff is worth a visit, and I would probably love to try different menu items next time. Overall, it’s a nice local spot! " (*Curated Review*)
