    It was our first time to Arnold Palmer's, and we loved it! We sat in the bar at a very comfortable table, and the noise level wasn't a problem at all, even though it filled up fast. We shared a Caesar to start. I had the filet, my husband the Bolognese, and we shared a sautéed mushroom side. For desert: we shared the coconut cream pie and the butter cake. Our server, Efren did a wonderful job, and we definitely will be coming back soon!

    Although we have eaten here many times before and always loved it, we were really disappointed with our meals. The 6 of us each ordered different meals and all six of us were disappointed. The prime rib was tough, raw, and basically inedible. The filet tasted off, and tough. The fish tasted off. The cook was underdone and it was way over salted. The burger was impossible to eat as it was just too overstuffed, and undercooked. The potato corn chowder was watery. The macaroni and cheese was not prepared well, it was a big glob of way too much cheese mixed in with a few macaroni noodles. At over $720.00 for 6 people it was a pretty awful waste of money. There are so many good restaurants in this area, we will definitely go somewhere else tonight.

    Wonderful! Always love it at Arnie’s! Great prime rib and Arnie’s signature meatloaf! Mark, the guitarist, is exceptional.

    Great place to dine! The outdoor patio is very nice and heaters keep you warm. The guitar player is excellent and provides background music. Our waiter Cory was attentive and has a sense of humor. We come here whenever we are in the area.

    Dinner on Arnie’s Patio was wonderful as usual! Great ambiance, food and drinks. Service was spectacular and Mark was in mid season form on the guitar! We will be back soon! Kudos to Dustin and Team for running the best restaurant in the Valley!
