As much as the exterior of Arthur's looks like a country restaurant from the Little House on the Prairie' days, it's even more rustic inside. Wagon wheels, weathered farm tools and southern folk art adorns every wall of the barn-like dining area. With a menu full of home-style cooking, Arthur's is a reproduction of the 1920s lifestyle. The kitchen's lunch menu is simple and straightforward: fried chicken, burgers and various cuts of steak, but this restaurant's calling card is its breakfast offerings. Families -- especially on the weekends -- are frequently seen waiting on Tustin Avenue early in the morning for Arthur's early bird specials consisting of eggs (anyway you like em), hash browns, extra thick bacon and the kitchen specialty: biscuits and gravy. The prices are a bit high for such simple fare, but the portions make up for that.

It was OK
By Swivens800 on 12/29/2008
My wife and I went to Arthurs for he first time this past weekend and I gotta say it was just OK,,,the service was slow,the bisquits tasted like they were canned and we're not sure if the gravy was home made or not other than that the food was good however as we were sitting there the waitresses were chatting in the kitchen area and one of them dropped the " F " word loud enough fot the entire place to hear . How rude and unprofessional!! I was appalled, my wife had to pick her jaw up off the floor. I hope that waitress reads this and next time thinks before she speaks this was Saturday Dec 27th around 8AM. We have both spent time working in the restarunt business and are thinking of opening our own place in the future, and I can guaranty if I ever got a report like this about one of my people they would be looking for another job. Needless to say we may not return anytime soon

The BEST Breakfast in Town (and that's not just a slogan)
By wendell540603 on 08/15/2008
Arthur's is without a doubt the best breakfast spot in the OC. I ordered sausage patties and eggs over medium, O'Brien potatoes, and biscuits with a small side of gravy (one of the earlybird specials) -- and a bottomless cup of coffee. In a word -- OUTSTANDING! I've also had their breakfast burrito, waffle sandwich, and other breakfasts, but I always come back to the basics, just like when I grew up. The servers, hosts, and expos all know me by name; and even when I'm feeling down, I'm feeling better by the time I leave. Q&A: How can you tell if a restaurant is a good place to eat? A full parking lot and lines waiting to get in -- that's ARTHUR'S!!! Signed, Wendell (see ya Sunday)

I love working at Arthur's! I may come into work tired but every single morning i get at least 25 cheerful hellos nicely decorated with a smile. I feel like the employees really care about me and what's going on in my life. We have the best times coming up with songs throughtout the day to keep us laughing. Come one. Come all. Come HUNGRY
