Arthur's Restaurant Orange — Restaurant in Orange

3 stars are my original choice - however, if I could rate on different things, then I would give 5 stars to Lauren (sorry if I misspelled your name). Even though she was not my waitress from beginning to end, she made my visit a pleasant one. Let's start with 1st appearances: the "main building" (in yellow from the picture) looks boutique but the "buildings connected to it" make it look like something from the late 1800s Midwest cowboy scene. Interior: Once you enter, you can see the layout is very spacious. One thing I noticed, I was the only person under the age of 40 dining in that restaurant. I can see that this is probably a local steeple with the older generation but I'm not complaining, it's better than going too an overcrowded place with screaming children and parents that don't care what those kids do. Menu: This All-American menu (with a few Mexican options) surprised me, not with what they were serving but with the price. Nearly $20 for 1 breakfast plate. As I looked puzzled, Lauren came and explained "Arthur's" to me and how huge the portions were. I asked for some recommendations and I followed up with the country fried steak and "legendary" biscuits with gravy. From the picture included, you can see how big these portions are... Taste: the food was fine for what you got and there wasn't anything too mesmerising about it. Overall experience: a normal visit with basic flavor is what I got with the exception of Lauren (you're the best). Will I be returning here?... honestly, it won't be the 1st place I think of for food BUT, I will consider it if I have a craving... And maybe for Lauren as well (probably the ONLY reason why I'd return, thanks for the hospitality. You are a diamond...

My Dad took me here for the first time. It was a place he visited often when here lived in the area 30+ years ago. I was excited going in but got a little nervous when I saw the decor. It probably hasn't been updated in quite some time. Locals would probably say it's charming and homey. I would say maybe it's time to revamp. However when it came down to service we were seated immediately by friendly staff and greeted by our waitress very quickly. They have fresh squeezed orange juice which can't be beat. Very refreshing. Their menu has a lot of options from classic breakfast dishes to things that make you scratch your head wondering if it'll be good or not. I was not disappointed with the choice I made. I love a good Benedict so when I saw a waffle Benedict on the menu I knew it was my choice. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the Belgian waffle was light and crispy and a perfect companion to the eggs and ham. I also ordered hash browns (well done because most places usually under cook them in my onion) nevertheless I probably would have been fine if I hadn't because they were almost too crispy. I'm sure the regular cook on them would have been perfect. Service was quick and we were able to get in and out of there in a timely manner with our bellys full. Next time I'm in town, I'm going...

My husband and I have been coming here since 2004! We love a good wholesome breakfast and they sure do deliver. If you like southern style foods for breakfast, you should come here! Be aware, the dishes are big. So, come with an appetite. They have also renovated. Now, I like the renovation and it looks a lot sharper, less busy. But we did love all the nik-nak and memorabilia. Or at least I did. The menu shrank a bunch and prices did go up. But that happens when things like a pandemic shut down happens and new ownership. If you want to save money and get your money's worth, try and come on a weekday and get their specials. You still get a giant proportion and spend less than $30 for 2 people. A review isn't a review without talking about the food! Biscuits and gravy are the best in OC. O'Brian potatoes a little well done, yum! And basically they have all you can imagine for breakfast. I like their country-fried chicken and eggs, or their country benedict (eggs Benedict with with their fresh biscuits instead of English muffin and gravy instead of hollandaise sauce! Mmmmmmmm I'm hungry!! The staff is awesome and has been the same few gals since we began coming there. They are so sweet and accommodating! Thank you to all...
