University Diner - Sharpes

The food was bland, no flavor. The floors looked dirty. Service was good and helpful

I love this place and the service is amazing the waitress Hope was very very good and I have to say very beautiful I can't wait to go back again and remember these women work for tips so be nice and tip right

A hidden gem in Arlington. The service is superb, the atmosphere is nostalgic, and the food is excellent. I have never been disappointed- every meal hits all the right spots.

All My years I've lived in Arlington never knew aɓout this place‍

Discovered the University Diner way back in 2008. It was very good, but it is kinda far from our house and haven't been back since. Finally last week we were in this corner of Jax, which we visit 2 or 3 times a year, hungry, so we decided to go here for a late breakfast on a Saturday morning. The place was PACKED. The sign said seat yourself, so we hunted down the ONE bussed and cleaned table. We were kind of annoyed that more tables weren't bussed and ready to take customers. Took our seats and waited for a server. It took so long I put a timer on my phone and we agreed we would leave if we weren't approached with in a few minutes. FINALLY our server came and took our order. At this point we were both dubious about the place and considered high-tailing it outta there and driving some place we go to weekly. So glad we didn't do that! The food was GREAT. Ham and cheese omelette and a veggie omelette, cheese grits, hash browns for her, home fries for me. French toast for us both. The French Toast we agreed was the best we have every eaten! And the rest of the meal was warm, delicious, was served very quickly, and large portions. Our server was prompt, friendly and engaging. We have been disappointed since the Famous Amos's near us closed during the pandemic and have kinda settled for a few places that have never matched their appeal. Well the University Diner is on par with Famous Amos. We LOVED University Diner. So much so... We went back the NEXT day!! We never go to the same place two days in a row, and drove past several places we go to regularly. This time a lot earlier to beat the crowds, and it was much less crowded, but there were plenty of people there already, plenty of ready tables and the food may have been even better the 2nd time around! Bottom line, this place is FANTASTIC and will be going into our rotation going forward. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
