| - 11:30 on a Saturday morning and every seat is filled. I order an omelette, which comes with hash browns or grits, biscuit or toast. Sitting at the counter, I check out the other customers - old, young, black, white, couples, families - good Gastonian mix of folks. Waitresses clearly know many of their customers & customers chat, table to table. On the wall and on the staff, Arline's Grill t-shirts in several colors, each with a fried egg in the shape of a heart and, on the back, the words Breakfast & Lunch Served All Day.. Food is good - nothing fancy, but hot and tasty. Unfortunately, service is not great. Waited a long time, after the food arrived, for a knife and fork. Never offered a coffee refill. Service seems much more attentive for regulars who are known by their names. Too bad - I had hoped to find a good Sat. breakfast spot!
