" I’ve heard a lot about Arlington Diner, and since I was in the area, I thought I’d check it out. I ordered the home fries and eggs, but I found the fries a tad too oily for my taste. The eggs were nicely cooked, though. The atmosphere was relaxing, and the server was friendly, making for a decent experience overall. I may return to try their famous pancakes next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Arlington Diner is my favorite spot for breakfast. I've been coming here for years, and it never disappoints. The service feels personal, with the staff always making a genuine effort to engage with patrons. I usually get the eggs benedict. However, on my last visit, I found the hollandaise a bit off. Still, everything else was great as usual—the perfect balance of American classics with a Greek touch. And the portions are huge! Definitely a great value for what you’re paying. The ambiance is warm and family-friendly. I recommend this diner to everyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great brunch spot! The Arlington Diner has become our family tradition during weekends. The coffee is great, and I appreciate the attentive service they provide. My kids love their pancakes, which they often load with fresh fruit. I usually get the breakfast platter, which is hearty and fulfilling. It's comforting to know that we can always count on a good meal here. Love the old-school diner vibes! " (*Curated Review*)

" After passing by Arlington Diner multiple times, I finally decided to pop in for breakfast. The setting was very nostalgic, and the service was engaging. I ordered the classic breakfast combo and was satisfied with the generous portion. The bacon, however, was not crispy enough for my liking. Still, it was a pleasant experience thanks to the warm atmosphere and attentiveness of the staff. I would likely return to give it another try! " (*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*)
