Bay34th Street Diner — Restaurant in Arlington

This brunch spot is definitely a hidden gem. My husband and I are BIG food critics and we didn't find not ONE flaw in the food. EVERYTHING was so delicious. A few takeaways the menus posted here on Google are outdated. We visited on 6/24/22 and the menu looks totally different. Food selection was 80% the same as the current one. They do not have standard hashbrowns they have another option for them which is FAR MORE DELICIOUS it's like potatoeS chunks covered in a creamy cheese with bites of jalapeno and onions. Be aware their chicken and waffle with the pepper next to it is HOT. They use some type of spicy batter for the chicken it was delicious but my husband couldn't hang because he doesn't like spicy food.

When you walk in you choose your own table then you go order at the counter after viewing the menu at your table. Be sure to ask for a drink because nothing automatically comes with a drink. I wish they would've offered us a drink or told us the drinks are self served by the fountain. After My husband placed our order he came back to the table and sat down and I was like where's our water and he was like that's a good question they didn't mention drink. We looked around and spotted a self serve fountain with no cups. My husband had to go back to the counter to ask for cups for water. Although the food was A1 the restaurant really should think about relocating because the AC doesn't work inside. It's EXTREMELY hot inside. I rarely sweat and I was literally sweating on my face just sitting there waiting on my food. I'm 30 years old medium build and I felt like an overweight person sitting sweating for no reason. I will order food TOGO going forward because I can't bare that heat. We were like the only 3 parties inside the building we came in and it was really slow which we liked. My fear is the cook is sweating profusely over our food in the back given how hot it was. Everyone was fanning themselves with the menu or constantly whipping their forehead. I drank so much water before my food came out to stay cool. I also wet some napkins with my water to place on...

FOOD INSTAGRAM: @northtx.gemz •••• 🍒 WHAT THEY’RE KNOWN FOR: New York style brunch! This place was really busy I had no idea about it until they invited me. It seems to be a local favorite. Run by a husband and wife from New York 👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏻 🍒 THE VIBE: casual! You order at the counter but you still have full service where they bring you the food and clean up after you. 🍒 PRICE: gifted 🤍 (super cheap tho) 🍒 WOULD I COME BACK? Yes! •••• Overall Rating: 11/10 I am absolutely blown away by @bay34thstreet food. I don’t even know where to start but you gotta try this place. They’re really busy on the weekend so be aware! Okay let’s talk about how delicious this dirty chai was omg. It came out piping hot so I had to let it sit for awhile but it was the perfect amount of sweetness with a slight chai flavor. Highkey recommend. The eggs benny I had with a croissant on the bottom instead of an English muffin was IMMACULATE. The person taking my order actually recommended the croissant and I can’t thank him enough! Wow the eggs were cooked perfectly and I practically licked my plate. The healthy omelette was HUGE so if you’re watching your figure or just want something light- this is satisfying and delicious. The pineapple pancakes- OMG. The most fluffiest pancakes I’ve ever had. I’m actually obsessed with them. The pineapple syrup on top was the perfect amount of sweetness. I wish I was exaggerating but wow these pancakes are a dream. I’m really not overhyping this place up because I am collaborating with them, I genuinely think this is THE best brunch place I’ve ever had. The owner was so sweet and welcoming including the servers. Food is amazing and reasonably priced and there’s so many options. I can’t...

I really so very much wanted to like this place. The reviews are pretty dang good so I'm gonna say our experience was an outlier but I'm not positive I'll return to find out.

We wanted something better than the usual Waffle House/IHOP breakfast fare. Right from when we walked in the door I worried about our experience. The place was HOT, and people were sweating. The wait wasn't bad (15 minutes) and we figured it was so hot inside cause we were by the door. Even after seating it remained quite hot inside.

After we got seated, we looked over the menu, and headed to the counter to order. The price for what we got was pretty ridiculous. For a breakfast meal for 2 adults and 1 child was $77 after tip. The service here is absolutely phenomenal though and figured the food would be too. We were so wrong. My wife ordered their Eggs Benedict and salmon, I the Cajun omelet, and an order of kids chicken strips. The omelet came out pretty good as I enjoyed it, but came with nothing else. The egg's Benedict were dry, overcooked, and the biscuit itself was rubbery. When we inquired about it we tried to ask if this is how their version of eggs Benedict is but no one knew what we were talking about. Again, the staff was very helpful, and polite, but they just didn't know enough about the food to tell us if this was how it was intended to be. The kids chicken strips weren't even strips and was a fried chicken breast that we had to cut. My kid didn't like it, but I thought it was pretty tasty. lol

Overall not a terrible experience, but bad enough that I don't think...
