You would not even know they were there if you don't look for the Cowboy on the fence and read the sign. They are on 104/ Frank Road. The service from entrance to the leaving was amazing. The yellow bottle is not mustard it is hot sauce.

We had so much fun visiting Ari’s Diner today and we can’t wait to come back. The food was good and the staff was great! It’s a fun spot.

Just a great place. Large portions. Really home-made Food. Pie slices are bigger than your hand. Arie is there and greets everyone. Good selection of food.

Ari's Diner Had breakfast with auntie and the food slaps! I got the cowboy omelette. Unique atmosphere. Great service.

Ari's Diner is our new favorite place! Absolutely adorable, affordable, and delicious. The atmosphere was everything - clearly filled with love and kindness (and so clean!!). This was the perfect comfort food mashup and amazing date spot <3

Took my girls here for brunch and it was really good. Food was good. We especially loved the fluffy potatoes. The place was really clean, our server was sweet, and the food was cook super fast. The only complaint I have is that it was absolutely freezing inside. Like, food is cold by the time it hits your table cold. The poor girls at the table next to us were literally shivering and begging for jackets lol

First time eating here. Clean, reasonably priced. The Reuben was exactly what I had been craving. (They made it for me on wheat instead of rye). The French fries were hot, delicious, and phenomenal. Best fries around. *UPDATE* We got the BLT and a big breakfast platter. My father was flabbergasted by the amount of food that came with the breakfast. The BLT was absolutely loaded with enough toppings and meat. Once again they killed it with the Reuben and the fries were delicious.

WOW! New favorite place…… The plate size was huge, and the price low. Friendly people, friendly environment. Some of the best food I’ve had in a very long time. This will be our number one go to breakfast place, I recommend highly.
