I usually go here on a Saturday with my mother and uncle for breakfast. I enjoy their breakfast specials which are at a great and affordable price. Staff have taken my order quickly and I have always received hot, freshly made food such as pancakes, french toast, eggs etc. The French Toast has a great buttery taste that melts in my ninth and the bacon and eggs are equally delicious.
Arch Diner is conveniently located across from the beautiful Paerdegat Basin CSO facility. It's a legit diner. It hasn't been hipsterized with artisenal ingredients or gluten free options. It could be in any suburb, anywhere – which makes it a fun change of pace for Brooklyn.
Came here very early on New Years Eve's with some friends after a baby gender revealing party. Parking was a little cramped and the parking lot in the back said not for arch diner customers but we found a spot and went on in. There is nothing fancy about the decor of the diner; however, the place is very clean.
I ordered breakfast. Eggs, bacon, home fries, and wheat toast. Not bad at all but my friend ordered chicken wings and once I tasted one, I immediately wanted to cancel my breakfast and order some wings. They were deep fried, very well done and seasoned….on the small side….but very good.
The service was ok. He wasn't enthused, but it was 6 of us and we got everything we needed without a long wait. I will definitely revisit the Arch diner.
2.5 stars
Me and the hubs wanted some hangover food bc we were washed up from the night before (NYE). We were also already in BK and had been to this diner a few times previously so we decided to stop in. I also really like the fact that they have a huge cocktail list here but today I was through with the alcohol. I didn't even want to see a drink, water please!
This visit the food wasn't horrible but it wasn't great either which sucked bc on our past visits we enjoyed our meals. I'm officially a pescatarian so I ordered the broiled salmon with fried eggs and an order of french toast, hubs had a chicken omlette with home fries. Hunny said his food was good, they did everything well done like he asked. The homefries were crispy but needed salt and the omlette with chicken and onions was just right. I had low expectations for my food, I can't front and they were definitely met. My salmon was obviously frozen prior to them serving it to me which made it flavorless and dry. It was well done like I asked but I had to put mad salt on it just to eat it. My eggs and french toast were good but the homefries needed salt. The service was effecient.
This is the diner that started it all. The reason why I'm drawn to diners where ever i go. I first stepped foot in here when I was about the most, 5 years old. Man I always loved coming here as a child. I remember ordering the deluxe burger…deluxe is was it was. It was always a challenge for me because I wanted so badly to finish the entire meal without having to take any home. Not that I didn't want to enjoy it home but over the years it became a goal to me lol. It was so big and the fries were Texas cut and it came with lots of lettuce and tomatoes and a pickle with a plate of coleslaw and we had dessert after.
As the years went on, i kept trying, getting there little by little.
I think I was 8 when I finally reached my goal and I ate every bite including the pickle. my mom warned me about eating the pickle and other items saying I would get an upset stomach . Now to an 8 year old, "what do parents know? " Well a few steps later heading to the bus stop, my entire meal came out of my mouth faster than I could say " I did it! " later that night she told me she was glad I was determined but that I should take her advice next time and maybe it's time to try something new lol
She was right.
After we moved away, we would sometimes take the drive out here to try it out again. I brought my boyfriend here (who I'm now married too) for an Easter lunch and it was just as I had remembered. The manager and waitress actually recognized me and our meal was plentiful and just felt right!
We ordered the salmon and he always preferred a broiled seafood. our meal came with fresh bread to start us off, coleslaw and chickpeas. Our sides were a big portion and afterwards it came with dessert and coffee. We are sure to visit when we're in NY next time. Love it here!
Arch diner is fairly decent. I recently made a visit for some take out with a friend. It was late night so the place was kinda empty. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries. The burger was overdone and the fries were tasteless. "E" for effort I guess. Overall if there is nothing else open for a quick late night meal, I would go to Arch.
It's not looking good so far….we've been here ten minutes and I had to call to the front and ask for a waiter. The bathrooms are disgustingly filthy! I mean I've seen cleaner bathrooms off the highway.
My server made a come up and my panini with roasted peppers, provolone, and spinach was ok so now they get 2 stars. I guess it was not as bad as I originally thought. My Mom's jerk pork chops were actually pretty flavorful. But as other reviewers said this place needs a serious upgrade. The booths have pieces falling off and the decor as a Whole is glaringly out of date.
Even though the reviews are not great I can only speak to my experience. Ive been to this diner about 4 times and had no omplaints. Being from the south I was so excited to see that they served grits. I think thats why I keep going back. Its hard as hell to find a diner that serves grits in new york.
