| - Arline's is a small Grill located off of Union Road in Gastonia. The food is a little inconsistent but for the most part pretty good for the price.
They can fail when it comes to consistency,
I find it the breakfast sandwiches a bi too small. The loaf bread was extremely small, the liver mush portion matched It. The sandwich tasted really good, but three bites and it was over. I definitely wasn't full when I left that day. My favorite item was breakfast bowls. My last couple were not great, they had watery consistency after getting about half way into them.
The hamburgers are good, better than a lot fast food type places in town. Their chili can be hit-or-miss. A few times it was so hopped up with chili powder that I couldn't even eat my burger, even after pointing it out to the Cook i couldn't eat it, I still had to pay for it. I did follow up with the owner / management thinking I'd give them a chance make it right but that didn't happen.
The french fries and onion Rings, cheese sticks etc are frozen so there's really not much to brag about their. Out of all their size the onion rings are the best.
The staff is always been very friendly. Some are much better at the job than others. I've had times when I was left staring at food needing a drink refill while they carried on conversations at other tables.
The napkin holders at the counter are odd, There are photos of people int them, makes you feel like a stranger is staring at you eating. I asked about that one day and I was told that those are regulars, and that was their seats,... to someone who eats their two and three times a week, that was the day I found out I wasn't a regular.
Their hours are very sketchy. Be sure you check before you go. They change them a lot. When I first found the place they were closed at dinner, then they opened, built up clientele and now they stopped dinner hours again.......
