Customer Reviews

Tried the lunch pizza buffet today at Arnold’s. It was like going back to the past for me because I use to eat here regularly back in the late 70s. I really like thin crust pizza and I wasn’t disappointed. The pizza was hot and a wide variety of different pies were available. I thought it was delicious. The manager greeted us at the door. He remembered us from past visits and he was delighted and thanked us for joining them for lunch. It almost seemed as nothing had changed. The menu is quite different now with a wide variety of dishes. I saw a few of the subs come by and they looked delicious. If you like the unique dishes like alligator bites or crawfish give them a try. The atmosphere is almost the same from years past but the staff was nice and respectful. The managers wife stopped by and conversed with us as well. Enjoyable lunch. Thanks Arnold and we forgive you for all the NC State crap.

Arnold's is a great family-owned and family-atmosphere restaurant! Definitely my favorite in Lumberton. I love their steak the most which is seasoned to perfection. Service is right on time and not too much. Most of all, I'd like to mention how caring the owners are and how they are so kind (when no one's looking). A true and awesome family vibe.
