Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Reviewed 12 February 2022

I'm from out of town and went to the Arena Bar and Grill on the recommendation of others. I have a rare digestive issue and have to take prescription medication called Creon (NON-narcotic), which needs to be taken with food (or I cannot digest my...food). The owner came up to me and accused me of having/taking "goodies" (instead of creon, barbiturates). When I told her that I was offended by her comment, she gave me an attitude and caused a scene. Instead of immediately apologizing for her inappropriate words and behavior she caused a scene, accusing me of spitting on her. I am a reputable business owner from Delaware and not some backwoods junkie, but the owner treated me feel like the latter. Our server joined in on making even more of a scene. I paid our bill and immediately left. Will not go here again. The owner not only needs to issue an apology but needs to learn some etiquette. There was a MUCH better way of handling the situation from a management standpoint.More

Good meal, great service, clean restaurant. We had the loaded baked potato chicken and the dutchess chicken. Both were tasty and portion size was good.

We ordered the pretzel with sauces. It was very good. I liked the beer cheese best and my husband liked the mustard. I had a special - the grilled cheese pierogi sandwich which was very strange but good with fries. My husband had the cheesesteak...sandwich which was okay with sweet potato fries which were very good. They have unique combinations.More

We stopped in last Thursday for Happy Hour and it was a good value. Happy Hour is Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM and Sunday 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM. During Happy Hour draft beer, house wine and select appetizers are...only $2.50. You can't beat a $2.50 Guinness..! The appetizers include Fried Pickles, Cheese Fries, Popcorn Chicken, Mozzarella Sticks and Soft Pretzels with Cheese. We had the fried pickles and popcorn chicken. The fried pickles were just OK but we liked the popcorn chicken. We also split a Blackened Chicken Cesar Salad and it was excellent..! They have huge selection of draft and bottled beer and a full bar. They have tables in the bar area, several dining areas and outside seating. It was very clean including the restrooms. The staff was nice and very attentive. They have lots of off street parking.More

Stopped for a bite to eat before the Comedy Show at the Kirby Center. We arrived at 5:45, on a Saturday night without reservations, & were seated promptly in a nice booth. It was pretty full at this time of day & a line quickly...formed by 6:30. Despite the crowd, it was not boisterous. Plentiful onsite parking. Neither of us were really famished so we opted for the cranberry/walnut salad with chicken & a Philly Cheesesteak wrap with sweet potato fries. Both were very good & large portions...we did leave portions on our plate. Also had a crab dip appetizer & it was ok but the tortilla chips were bountiful. Drinks were delivered expediently...we never had such a short wait for adult beverages. My spouse’s Cosmo was delicious... As for service, Christian was excellent. Very attentive, friendly, & knowledgeable. My only negative, a little tough making a left turn from the parking lot...very busy boulevard with numerous dining choices. We drove past around 10pm after the show & the place was packed.More
