Arbuckles in King's Lynn and West Norfolk

Always great food here and big portions. Service is excellent also

Great venue, kind staff, big portions, lots of food options and nice environment!

Good service and good food once again 👍

Recently visited on a Saturday afternoon with 3 children. We were seated quickly we didn't have a booking. Staff were all lovely, very helpful. Food arrived super quick and tasted great Very clean and tidy restaurant.

Awesome food with great service, always busy so book ahead

Me and my family have been big fans of this place for many years. I’ve also taken to coming on my own regularly. The staff are excellent in every way. Ellie M has served me on two out of the last three times I’ve been and she was fantastic. Nothing felt too much trouble and it was nice that she remembered me from before. Where it loses a star though is the lack of vegetarian options. When I went a couple of weeks ago I was disappointed that the No Meat Meatballs had been taken off the menu and it didn’t look like it had been replaced by anything else. There are a few options but not nearly as many as I’d expect in this day and age and they have dwindled considerably over the years. I ended up having half a portion of nachos (as it’s meant for two people) but disappointingly was still charged full price anyway. It’s still a great place for me to have a nice treat to start a weekend off with once a month though, and I will continue to be a regular here.

Great service, Great food, friendly atmosphere. Being in such a big room at the back it becomes very noisy as sitting very close to other tables

Great food and waitress was really helpful and polite.

Great food and atmosphere. Good vslue

Very mice breakfast. Service is fantastic.

Excellent diner. Cosy booths and seating. Quick and friendly service with a good choice on the menu.

Always great food and service at this American inspired employee-owned diner /restaurant. Has become a reliable favourite.

Didn't enjoy, pretty tasteless and overrated in my opinion.

Never had a bad meal and always cooked 🍳 very well

Friendly staff and great breakfast fare - unhurried impromptu brunch with friends - a nice way to start the day 🙌

Arrived 10 mins early and was seated strait away. Our waitress (EVIE) was with us very quickly, she was super friendly and very welcoming and had loads of positive energy. The food arrived quickly and was lovely. I was being banterful and daft and Evie took it in her stride and lightly joined in which was lovely. Lovely location, lovely food and 10 out of 10 for our waitress as she was fantastic

We went here for lunch me and my mum couldn’t fault at all oh yes we can oh no we can’t! No I mean the food was amazing the pudding is just wow thanks again

Superb meal for me and my family, great service, highly recomend.

Love friendly and good service.

We visit for our son 16th birthday tonight, food was amazing . Abby F went above and beyond to accommodate us all thank you!! Made it overall a great experience . Kids ribs my daughter said where 10 out of 10 and kids loved the ice creams

A very warm welcome and great staff who ensured we were well fed. The baby back ribs were perfect and tasty. A great place to visit.

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.

Fantastic, always is, that's why I keep going back.

Great customer service. Could not fault them! Really nice food.

Really great food, decent value for money. And very warm service

The food is ok nothing amazing it's clean service is great just nothing I would go back for sadly

Every time we visit always the service and food are great we love it here it's a nice treat for us.

Very nice.. not waiting to long to be served.. food very nice.. worth a visit to either.. Ely or Downham.. 10/10

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!

All very good. Food ordered and came within reasonable time. Service efficient and polite.

Great service and food. My 10 yo boy had a steak the size of his head! I had steak burger 🍔 All lovely

Lovely Restaurant, just a shame I didn't see Jacob Murphy

Extremely good food and fast service. Cocktails were nice too! We had the Chicken Fajitas and Bourbon Ribs and they were both lovely. Thank you very much Lauren for lovely time! She was very friendly

Well presented food very tasty excellent choices

Visited her last month (September). Great food and service! Lovely atmosphere. Had breakfasts and they were lovely! Ricky was great!!

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.

If we want a good breakfast and for a good price we always go to Arbuckles and it’s never disappointing we also sometimes get dinner and that is incredible the flavor is just 😋

Excellent service and great value for money food. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Would definitely visit again .

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.

30th meal 8 adults 6 children... served well and efficiently . Food was great too .

Arbuckle's is just amazing! Every visit has been wonderful. All the staff are always very helpful and friendly. Their breakfast menu is amazing! We've had many items from that menu over our visits and liked every dish. Overall a really lovely place to dine and one that I have no reservations in recommending to anyone!

Very comfortable, I had a round table with plenty of space as my husband is in a wheelchair, staff excellent, will go again,

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 ☺️

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.

We stopped here for breakfast today, good variety on the breakfast menu and food was lovely. The waitress was called Nicky, she was fantastic, always attentive and great with our 3 year old daughter, she wanted something that wasn't on the menu but this was not a problem and they accommodated without any fuss. The food was great but the staff is what really made this breakfast a treat!

Great place. Haven't been in years and can now see why it's so popular

Only stopped for a quick visit, had halloumi and chips.

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 lovely waitress who dint mind our sense of humour at all she always had a smile and was very helpful. Food was lovely. And was very clean

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.

Amazing service. The person who greeted me was warm and friendly. The young guy who waited at my table had such a genuine attitude. I'll definitely go back next time I'm in the area

Great service from Leanne, great food and great atmosphere

Friendly staff, great food and a lovely atmosphere. Amanda in particular was excellent; she went above and beyond to make my birthday special.

Very nice breakfast with great coffee & friendly staff.

Great American diner, fantastic burgers and staff.

Great place and even better food Friendly and attentive service

Vegan options are very nice, lovely staff, meals were very tasty. Restaurant is clean and has a good atmosphere.

Met up with friends for breakfast. Quick and efficient service. Good quality ingredients at a fair price. Particularly nice bacon.

Relaxing friendly clean and bright.

I visited Arbuckles last night with my family for my Dad’s birthday. The food was absolutely fantastic, as was the service. A massive thank you to Abby for making it so special :))

Ricky was so attentive, amazing service give this guy a promotion!!

Thank you Abby very much great service !! The beef short ribs are amazing and the gravy out of this world. Wish I could have tried so much more off the menu will be back 😎

Lovely Server - Ricky. Looked after me and my daughter when we stopped on the way home from the coast. Food was wholesome and tasty. Never been to buckles before - will defo go again 👍👍

Lovely place to eat and friendly atmosphere and staff are friendly too

on a recent visit to the area, myself and three others fancied a bit of dinner, so glad we chose this amazing restaurant, service was second to none and the food was perfect. Thank you

Great place! Big portions, service is excellent and fast. Definitely coming again if we're in the area.

Visited as a family of 3 for an evening meal. Wasn't disappointed. Food was delicious, great service quick and efficient and every request swiftly done. Also served by a lovely, friendly professional young lady called Steph who took the time to chat even though she was very busy.

U won't get better than this .ribs fall off the bone steak is perfect ..always go back but one thing is chefs don't get any glory well from me top notch guys and ladies love your cooking and service.

Perfect stop on way back from a day out for dinner - food was really good and service quick - the staff were really pleasant and cheerful and even suggested a quieter table for us away from families - and very reasonable prices too - if we're ever in that area again we wouldn't hesitate to go back

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.

Always a lovely meat and a great place for my family to meet up

Great place for a family meal out throughout the day with a great menu selection and fantastic service

Had steak and ribs steak very disappointing well done well dried out especially when you eat out its not cheap the chef you be of doing better than cooking it to a crisp

Atmosphere, staff and food all perfect 👌

Haven't been to Arbuckles for almost 11years because we moved away. It still has fantastic food, service is brilliant and atmosphere friendly.

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.

very good food. I've tried most dishes and 9 times out 10 very good

A fairly hefty meal for the price. Fast and efficient service. Staff can entertain the kids and you're made felt welcome.

The secret garden was beautiful and peaceful. The bbq chicken burger was amazing but the Philly steak burger was smothered in American mustard meaning you couldn't taste much else unfortunately. Our server Pesa was incredible, very attentative and polite.

Came for breakfast and had the breakfast crumpets which were amazing! Not a badly priced menu for breakfast either. Loved it and good service

Only one of two in the country, which is a shame as the service and food were both great. Varied menu, reasonably priced breakfast menu. The food was lush. Had a peak at the lunch and dinner menu and this looked just as yum! High recommend

Best place in Ely for a lovely meal. The staff are helpful and friendly. Ivana always looks after us so well! A highly recommended establishment.

It's good but meat always seems dry like it's been frozen before ! Had medium cooked steak and was a tough old chew! By far the worst yet

Pesa the waitress was very lovely, helpful and polite!! Food was good, service was great. Got asked if everything was okay every so often!

Great rump steak for me and fajitas for the wife. excellent service and great atmosphere. Very friendly service from Rebecca

Absolutely orfull service was a disgrace

Love it. Never disappoints, and that's why we drive for 90 minutes to get here! Update: visited again - still great, and our waitress Hannah was brilliant! Update: as good as ever!

Came here for our 10th wedding anniversary. It was our first visit and husband booked the secret garden. All the staff were so friendly and helpful especially Pesa our waitress she was incredible. We had the tapas and cocktails food was incredible and so we're the drinks. Highly recommended and will definitely visit again

Foods really nice food. Been a few times before. It felt like some the American theming had gone from the site. Generally a good dining experience

Coeliac friendly and a good choice of dishes on the menu. Will be back xx

4 amazing breakfasts. 2 full English and 2 American. Friendly staff and good atmosphere

Really nice place. Lovely lay out, clean, staff friendly, food fantastic.

Sophie G was a star! Food was hashtag amazing.

Fantastic place.good food an service.

Excellent as always, with 15% off for Parkrunners!

Service was great, great place to take children. The menu is vast, and I may have just ordered wrong, but the food was average.

Great food and service. Very tasty, hot and good portion sizes.

We popped in here on our way back home to Essex great food staff really nice and polite food was great massive portions will definitely recommend

Just tried to add a review and apparently I've already done one while ago so this is an edit! It's still great, love that you don't have to book and you can eat any time of day, all day every day. Kids always welcomed, staff are amazing. As a vegetarian I miss some of the veggie options which have been replaced with vegan choices which are great but I miss the big old blue burger and the veggie lasagne! Went with my husband tonight and we were served by Ricky who was friendly and attentive.
