Popped into Arbuckles after visiting the cinema next door. We all ordered fajitas. Service was good and we had plenty of food each. The waitress asked if we needed anything else, but we didn’t as the meal comes with 3 different pots of salsa, guacamole and sour cream each. Restaurant was busy but it didn’t affect our service of food and experience. Would visit again and very handy if you’re making a trip to the cinema 👍

Great food, great service. Quite a lot smaller than the Downham Markert one but made for a busy atmosphere. Recommended to book in advance!!

Great dining experience. We haven't visited for sometime and the menu has altered since our last visit. Our gluten free guest did not enjoy their meal- personal preference. Great location, great environment, great service.

We went into celebrate end of term for the kids. we booked online. Got seated immediately. Waitress was very kind. Food came out very quickly didn’t feel rushed and had a pleasant meal. Sadly had no room for desert, but the waitress said we could always take out the desert We popped to supermarket and then on the way home picked up our ice cream desert to enjoy the garden at home Fantastic service top to bottom!

We usually visit this restaurant at least once a month. We've never had a bad meal there and the staff, some of whom often recognise us, always give us amazing service. We love the fact that their menu offers a great variety of dishes, especially Vegan options. Overall, a great place to eat.

Food was not as nice as normal. Staff were very timid and not very helpful when asking questions about the menu. I was given where most of it was on the floor/table rather than in the glass 😂 made the area very sticky as it wasn't cleaned even when asked. Overall, the experience wasn't as good as normal which is a shame.

Was okay, I won't be rushing back sadly. I love an American Diner and perhaps have been spoilt in the past. The food was mediocre at best, it's something that's trying to be a gimmicky theme rather than an actual diner. Shame but was okay if you're already in the area.

We had the most wonderful experience. The food has never let me down! Ribs,chicken, burger. All top quality. Service was brilliant, main course came within 10 minutes of ordering. Highly recommend the sweet potato fries! Dessert was delicious, mango and coconut mousse with a ginger biscuit based cheesecake which was so refreshing in this hot weather and If you like snickers, I would highly recommend the chocolate and peanut double layered cake. Absolutely delicious, both served with a huge dollop of ice cream! Staff were friendly and the atmosphere was upbeat and busy! Always recommend.

Third visit for family meal, yet again, very disappointed as wrong order sent to our table. Not happy with below quality food and poor service from staff, this is the third time this year the Duty Manager had to sort the problems out. So 3 Strikes and you are out. Will NOT be returning to Ely Arbuckles.

We visited on the way home from holiday in the evening. Great food, great choice and helpful staff. We had burgers, gumbo and pizza and all really tasty. We wish there was an Arbuckles near us. We have a Frankie & Bennys which also American but Arbuckles is far superior in choice and quality.

We had an early evening booking (5pm) on a Saturday. The restaurant was fairly quiet at this time and we were seated straight away. Food is good but portions are too big for me. The halloumi fries are chunky and the dirty sauce is like a spicy mayonnaise, which goes well with the halloumi. The Chicken Mac & Cheese was flavourful with moist chicken, strips of bacon and a lovely toasted cheese topping. There was no need for chips that come with it, the side salad was enough to accompany the Mac & Cheese. The caramel & chocolate overload is exactly what it says on the tin! If it doesn't send you into a food coma, I don't know what will. Our server Eni was excellent, very friendly and attentive.....nothing was too much trouble for her. Food is reasonably priced for the size of the portions. Would definitely recommend Arbuckles if you are in the area.

My personal experience at Arbuckles was disappointing, I have a milk allergy, with only a handful of options it was hard to choose. In the end I had to ask for a mix match of meals to find something to eat. It makes you feel like I was causing problems for the chef. I would like to see more of a variety of meal choices for all allergens. Baring in mind a milk allergy is quite common it is disappointing to see such little variety.

We loved it. Ate at 17:30. No queue. It was not a vast seating choice, but the booth was adequate for us. It's the best US diner style, even in Peterborough, which has nothing like it. The food is excellent, and there is good service. I did wonder why the kitchen staff is not wasting hair nets...

Food, service and atmosphere was brilliant. My only MINOR issue was is was so packed and the waiting time to get a table. But looking on the positive side of having to wait; of course good things are worth waiting for and if people are willing to wait for a table, that says it a quality place to dine. The resturant is quality, the staff are brilliant and the atmosphere is just the best. The manager communicated well throughout the waiting times for a table. The real question is will I be going back again: The answer is diffinately YES!!! ITS 5 STARS IS DESERVED.
