It has been a while since I last blogged about restaurant, so I have a few of the more noteworthy dining experiences to catch up on. So, I guess I’ll start with Arlie’s Grill. One of my work suppliers from the east coast asked me if I ever tried this place. He saw it on The Learning Channel’s show “Darned Good Diners” so of course I had to add it to my list of places to try.
A few weeks ago, we set out to try Arkie’s Grill. When we walked in, we were assailed by the smell of grease from the kitchen. I was a little concerned and so were my arteries. We both decided we had to try the fried chicken. Fried chicken is not usually my first choice for a meal but since they specifically mentioned their fried chicken on the show and in several reviews I read, we just had to try it. Our fried chicken meals came with a small side salad, mashed potatoes, navy beans, corn sticks, and rolls. The chicken was very good, not in the least greasy and perfectly done. The mashed potatoes tasted like homemade, not typical restaurant kind. The corn sticks were interesting and were about the size of a finger. They were a bit overdone, but not bad. The prices were very reasonable and the portions perfect for lunch. I would go there again.
