The best chicken-fried steak I've had outside of my nephew's home-cooked version! Whenever I go to a restaurant, I'm always going to try the chicken-fried steak if it's on the menu, and Arthur's did not disappoint. In fact, if this one isn't handmade, I'd be shocked! It was so similar to my nephew's that I might have had trouble telling the difference. I've honestly been thinking about that chicken-fried steak ever since I had it. My husband ordered an omelet, and he said it was delicious as well. We both had leftovers for the next day--but there was definitely no chicken-fried steak left over! The ambiance was cozy, country-style, and very clean. The service was exceptional, too. It's not exactly close to my house, but I will definitely be making the trip back soon for that chicken-fried steak! read more

We tried Arthur's for breakfast on a Monday morning. They have their own parking lot with plenty of spaces. We were greeted as we came through the door. We were escorted to a booth. Staff were friendly. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere pleasant. On my way to wash my hands, I got a glimpse into the kitchen. It looked clean and hopping with activity. The restroom was clean but looked like it needed updating. I ordered two scrambled eggs and two biscuits with gravy à la carte. The biscuits had an odd chewy texture. The gravy was just ok. I later confirmed with the waiter that they used frozen biscuits which may explain why they are chewy instead of light and fluffy. The eggs were good. Nice and scrambled. My wife got a Denver omelette with breakfast potatoes. She liked everything about her meal. My wife had coffee with her breakfast. At $4 a cup you would expect something special. It was average at best. We had to waive down a waiter to get a refill. As we were leaving, I noticed a sign outside stating that they have breakfast specials starting at $9.95 on Monday thru Friday until 11 am. I guess they need to give you a menu to get their specials. Our server did not share the specials with us. Service was a bit slow which was surprising since they were not that busy. read more

Delicious comfort food! I tried their Florentine Benedicts and they were cooked perfectly. I asked for extra extra crispy hash browns and they arrived exactly as I had hoped for. Cute touch was the OJ in a glass boot. The service was great, always checking in with us and automatically bringing us to go containers since the portions were pretty big. The ambiance was very family friendly. Great place to meet and catch up. read more

We had been here about 20 years ago and didn't know why we hadn't gone back, so we figured we'd give it a try again to have breakfast. I liked that they offered flavored creamer for your coffee in addition to regular cream. And their coffee was good. Everyone was nice. We were greeted when we walked in and were seated right away. Our food came out pretty quickly. The first impression of our dishes was kind of a "hot mess". The food was just thrown onto the plate - especially my husband's. He had the Louisiana hot links with egg, hash browns and biscuits. I personally would suggest you ask for the biscuit and gravy on the side - otherwise it will just be at the bottom of your other food. I kinda like a little effort when it comes to presentation. But don't get me wrong, the food tasted good. I had the corned beef hash and eggs which was good - the hash looked to be made in-house. It was good - but to be honest, I actually prefer the old school corned beef hash from a can, that's toasted on the grill. And as for the vibe of the restaurant, it's not real homey. Kinda feels like a diner you would come across while on a road trip. This really isn't my style of a breakfast diner, but it's pretty popular- there were a lot of families enjoying themselves, so maybe give a try and see if it's for you. read more

Arthur's is one of those classic breakfast/lunch spots that's only open from 7am-2pm--so you already know it's going to be good. It's a quaint little country-style diner with a cozy, quiet vibe and huge portions. We kept it simple on drinks with coffee and orange juice--nothing fancy, just solid and exactly what you want with a hearty breakfast. For mains, we went all in: Big-Big Sampler (pictured): Comes loaded with 3 eggs, ham, bacon, breakfast sausage links, plus Italian and Polish sausages. You also get your choice of potatoes or fruit, and pancakes or toast. This plate is no joke--perfect if you want a little bit of everything. Ribeye Steak & Eggs (pictured): Angus choice ribeye with 3 eggs, plus your choice of potatoes and toast or pancakes. The steak was flavorful and cooked just right--definitely a standout. Country Fried Classic (pictured): We went with the country fried steak, topped with country gravy, served with 3 eggs and your choice of potatoes. Classic comfort food done right. If you're looking for a hearty breakfast, a relaxed atmosphere, and that old-school diner feel, I'd definitely recommend checking out Arthur's Family Restaurant. Come hungry... and don't be surprised if you're ready for a nap afterward read more

So I found out about Arthur's through my parents. Apparently they have been going for many years, and in fact they started going to a different location. I've been to this location about 3 or 4 times now, and I can say this much that the staff are always pretty friendly and attentive. The ambiance is definitely family dinner feeling, and relatively quiet. As for the food, I don't think I've had anything that I didn't like here. So I would continue to go with my parents and possible try new items on their menu. Enjoy read more

Must be new owners because something has changed. Ordered the big sampler breakfast and it wasn't great. The ham is soft and mushy - had no texture to it. Biscuits seem to not be homemade and the gravy is probably from a can. Coffee was kept full but was really flavorless. I get that prices are up everywhere but there isn't anything in the menu worth these prices. Saturday morning breakfast and the place was empty. Not like it used to be. read more

Don't make the mistake I've done and drive by this familiar place. The restaurant is clean and very comfortable inside. The service was outstanding! We were greeted warmly and seated right away. It was busy but there is plenty of seating thankfully. We had breakfast and it was tough as the menu is very nice with many options. I opted for shredded beef, crunchy chilaquiles. These were the best I've ever eaten north of the border!! The salsa was a great addition to flavor with a little heat. The portions are large, the price is great. I highly recommend Arthur's for what their T-shirts say is the best breakfast in town. Hard to argue with that! read more

Ahhhhh what happened?!? It's the same great service and food(maybe?) but the new owner decided against offering mimosas and that is the main reason we come here! To get good eats and a couple of sips with our brekkie! I just don't know if I'll ever come back on the regular, or possibly ever again because I feel as if I've been bamboozled! (Literally, lol) I ended up ordering to go since I couldn't enjoy the dining experience I was expecting. read more

Unfortunately, we had a really disappointing experience at Art Café. We came about two weeks ago wanting to give the place a try, but the food was just not good. My wife ordered the country fried steak breakfast, and the steak was so bad she couldn't eat it. We let the staff know and told them she didn't want a replacement or anything else--we simply asked that the country fried steak be removed from the bill, and we were more than happy to pay for the eggs and potatoes she was able to eat. I ordered one of the big breakfast sampler, that came with bacon, breakfast sausage, and a couple of other types of sausage. I took one bite of the breakfast sausage and couldn't eat any more of it. The other sausages weren't any better. I basically ended up eating the eggs, hash browns, and pancake. Even the coffee was disappointing. It tasted extremely watered down and was noticeably lighter than you'd expect a normal cup of coffee to be. We really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately, based on the quality of the food and our overall experience, we won't be returning to this location. read more

Tl;Dr have the Chilaquiles Driving by today we said "I have not been there in years". It is now our favorite place for breakfast. SUPER FRIENDLY SERVICE!! I was going to get the Hawaiian French toast and saw a note here about the Chilaquiles so I asked how they were after I had already ordered. One of the staff brought us a little bowl of home made chips and the red and green sauce. Delicious! I changed my order and was no problem. Next week biscuits, i saw them come out next to us and they looked amazing. N read more

It was hard to decide what to get for breakfast. I'm a fan of biscuits and gravy so I went with that. The biscuits tasted like they were made from scratch. They give you a ton of gravy too. Most places don't give you enough. Service was really good. My next visit i want to try the chicken and waffles. The picture on the menu looked really good. I can't wait to come back. read more

The interior is old fashioned diner style, which is just what I want when I'm having biscuits and gravy! I love coming here and will definitely be back. read more

I took my team for Holiday Breakfast and we had the best service. Days before our event I went to the website and let them know we were coming. Management reached out and confirmed and set expectations. We had plenty of help at the table and great options on the menu. Everyone was really happy with the food and experience. This will become our annual location moving forward. Great Country feel and relaxed location. read more

Ummmm pre-lunch, place was almost empty. (hint/sign) 2 out of five - It was a bad meal. *Lettuce was green AND too soft. I prefer Ice Lettuce but green should still have some crisp to it. *The menu said Steak fries, I got Shoe String and NOT well done as requested. I accepted the offer to bring me the Steak Fries well done however, the grease was dirty and they gave me the remnants of past deep fried food, (fries?) *Very low application of Mayonnaise making sandwich dry. *The tomatoes were too thick of a cut but it helped the dry sandwich. * The bacon (BLT) was crumbly/old low flavor. 1 piece was inserted in halves the 2nd piece was crumbled and sprinkled on. This venue used to be THE place to go(!) and the Biscuits & generous Gravy was award winning ... someone else can report on that. Cost me just under $20.00 w/tip... yes I still tipped. If the owner isn't an errant owner, he should spend time in there, improve things and contact local businesses to offer companies at least a -time 10% discount for their employees if they fill out a card with pre-determined questions about food, service & cleanliness with an emphasis on restrooms. My report only dealt with the food. I didn't use the restroom but the dining area was clean, employees busy even w/out customers to serve. As Bar Rescues' Jon Taffer would say, this is an owner's failure. I'll give it another 6 weeks and go back to check out their past famous Biscuits & Gravy. I WANT this place to work, it's a classic work of art type place to go!!! read more

Lauren is an outstanding employee. She told us all the lore about Arthur and Suzy... lovers of past. Ooooh, the scandal! She also taught us how to reheat our biscuits when we get home.

Been coming to Arthur's for the last 30 years since I was a child. It's now under new ownership for the last couple years. Owner own Suzy's Cafe in Santa Ana. Everything has slowly changed since new owners took over. Prices have gone up, portions are smaller, food isn't as quality anymore. Today 5/27/26 got the big sampler platter w/biscuits and gravy. It was literally the same size as what an average breakfast plate was years ago. It used to be so huge you had to take half home. Now you get some gross dinner Italian sausage with it, mushy hot link. They no longer have those good polish hot links. Biscuits tasted off, kinda sweet, the amazing gravy was a bit more bland and not as flavorful. Super super salty bacon and ham. . I almost didn't even want to eat it as it was so strange tasting.. I always over eat and clean my plate and even eat the bowl of gravy by itself. I couldn't do I it was just not good at all.. Cutting corners for sure and new owners doing things different it's not the same as Arthur's once was. Employees are nice, but many are new faces to me and were loudly complaining about scheduling, complaining about other employees not showing up on time. Very bummed, this was me and my parents fav place to go for most my life but it's changed. Probably was my last time going. read more

Went again today for the August breakfast meet-up with my buddy. The place we were trying to go to is closed on Tuesdays. Who knew? But just down the street is good old Arthurs. I know that service can be occasionally spotty (please see my other review) but for the most part, it's usually a good experience. This is just an update so no long-winded review. Went in, seated promptly. I got the Corned Beef Hash and Eggs; my friend got the Chicken and Waffles. Food was good, extra crispy on the CBH and potatoes as requested. It all came quickly, and the service was spot-on again today. A couple more good experiences like this and I'll bump it up to 5-stars. Just a fun staple of the community. Lots of little groups come in and it gives an old time, small town feel to the place. I hope that if you haven't been here that you decide to give it a try. Breakfast and lunch only, no desserts. read more

So many ownership changes. They use to serve mimosas for breakfast. Then they stopped, apparently due to an ownership change. Then they put up signage that they now served mimosas. Now, we showed up and no more mimosas due to an ownership change. Food is still okay but the back and forth of ownership makes us wonder if they are on the way out permanently. So sad because this was our go to place for breakfast for 20+ years. read more

Love coming here its a must if your around. Had tough choice between my favorites. The country Benedict and the sourdough french toast.
