Outstanding is my one word. Been many times and never a bad meal. Service is great. Slows a little when very busy but you would expect that. Will be back. I am sure of that. Well done Arbuckle's and all the staff and chefs.

Food was nice but service wasn’t what it used to be. Felt very much like we were rushed off of our table after only 1hr and 15mins. Bill got slapped on the table immediately after we said we didn’t want any dessert, however weren’t asked if we wanted any more drinks; I did want another!

It was ok, just ok though … I was a bit limited being pescatarian but main was ok, desserts were rubbish, clearly frozen and the baked cheesecake was horrid. Also didn’t like the fact the waitress kept leaning over us - we were in a round table in the corner but still plenty of space to go around. Staff were very friendly and helpful though despite being very busy.

Another visit to Arbuckles at Downham Market and once again the experience was very good, with prompt and very friendly service. The starters were very tasty and enjoyable, the mains we had were very tasty and of a good size. The desert I chose was not good, banana split which was drowned in cream from a can. Had a nice evening with great service as always.

We have been to an Arbuckles before but this was our first visit to the Downham Market restaurant. Food as always was lovely, we were too full for desserts so for us the portions sizes were good. Admittedly this is a treat at around £30 per head but you could eat cheaper here depending on your choices (you could of course spend more). Staff were very helpful allowing us to get our milkshakes to go. Would recommend a visit at least once.

We love Arbuckles and visit for special occasions as it takes us about 45/50 minutes to get there. The food is always delicious and brilliant quality. There's something for everyone. It's always busy but the layout doesn't make it feel overwhelmingly busy. Also despite this there's not a long wait on food. The service we received on this visit was 2nd to none with Lisa being our main waitress. She was lovely and made our visit all the better. We will definitely be back. Only took a pic of my drink as wanted to dig in as soon as the food arrived.

Friendly welcome from the minute we stepped through the door. Prompt service, very attentive staff (not too much though). We ordered one Farmhouse breakfast, an orange juice and two coffees. Breakfast was rated as excellent, fresh and clean. We also asked for two sausages for our dog in the car, which were brought out in a little box so they could cool down while we were dining! Happily recommend, would definitely re-visit. Oh and our lovely waitress is Nicky.. Thank you ☺️

Usually good, today poor! Chicken burgers very dry, waited 20+ minutes finishing no server in sight to be cleared away. Had to go walk abouts to find any staff, was going to order pudding, but wait made us not. No apology for waiting from server. Manager on duty, young man dark hair, verbally apologetic ans said that one of those days where everything happened at once. However except his words, was very apathetic and didn't offer anything else.

One of our favorite places to visit when we are in the area. The service is always fantastic and nothing feels like too much trouble. Plus the way the espresso martinis are made here is to die for 😍 Highly recommend getting the wings as your main! Portions are good size and I always end up taking half of my dinner home with me for later. Can't wait to be able to visit again.

We had a delicious breakfast this morning,the decor is very nice.The service was friendly and fast.The food was outstanding this morning for breakfast,one of the nicest gluten free breakfasts I’ve ever had.The gfb was delicious,I had it without the eggs,tomato or beans.As a substitute I ordered it with 1 slice extra of bacon,1 extra hash brown and 1 extra slice of toast.I like it how they put the toast on the side so it doesn’t mix with the hot breakfast items.The bacon was delicious,some of the nicest cooked bacon ever.The hash browns were classic hash browns,crispy on the outside,fluffy on the inside.The mushroom was really nice and juicy.The toast and butter was nice as well.The caramel milkshake was delicious too,creamy and thick.Great breakfast,I would recommend it.

Air conditioning was great we were very thankful for that as it was so hot outside. Extensive menu definitely something for everyone. I had a very tasty cocktail. Delicious food fairly priced. Have been here a few times before and have never been disappointed. Probably the only place I have been to in a large party that the restaurant staff can manage without a hitch .

Pre -booked a table 2 weeks before arriving for 6pm.When our party of 3 arrived on time we were directed into the garden area and given a bench with a plastic hood. It was freezing cold and although there was a bar heater inside to turn on it would have taken hours to warm up. Alao inside a plastic tent devoid of any festive atmosphere. We asked for an inside table but as they were busy non available so we left. Disgusting service so customers be warned if you pre book where they will sit you

From the second we walked past I could tell this place was going to be good. Looking through the window it looked small but don't be fooled there is a middle terrace and an out door area complete with herb garden and flowers. We were just visiting Kings Lynn having never been to Norfolk before we were not sure about where to eat. Being vegan in a new place can be hard but our wandering route took us luckily past this place and we had no choice, we had to go in. Impressed with the artwork we were welcomed in with our dog and sat out the back in the small garden. The guy was cool and friendly and let us know where the local off licence was if we wanted beer (which I did on a releaxed Saturday afternoon). 2 doors down i found some beer and brough it back. Menu was impressive, there was loads to choose from and I could have tried all of it but I went for the Resist! Krispy Chickun Wrap  and was not dissapointed. Generous serving and totally delicious. If I had known in advance I would have tried the primal burger challenge, What an idea. If we had been staying longer I would have gone back for more food. Good to meet other people who care and are doing the right thing. Very delicious, relaxed and fun. If I could give it ten stars I would. Thanks for a great lunch and helping us enjoy our time.

My partner and I ordered a meal yesterday evening through uber eats around 8pm. Our food was delivered about 9:10pm and we opened our food to see our order was not only wrong! Plus the fries we ordered were pale, hard and very undercooked! The cheese burger was meant to be plain and it comes covered in mayo sauce I'm allergic too! The meal was inedible... The restaurant closed at 9pm but my partner called them the second we saw our meal wasn't correct, they answered the phone and we explained what happened then they hung up!! I called them back instantly and they never answered. I called over 10 times and they still didn't answer. So my partner drove to the restaurant and the staff members were still inside but locked the doors, he knocked on the door and told them what happened. They said there's nothing they can do!!Absolutely appalling!!
