Arlene and Tom's Restaurant

First time stopping at this diner. Stopped at a busy time on a Saturday morning. No tables available but sat at counter. Only 2 waitresses and one cook working. They did a great job for be short staffed.
Breakfast was great. No other place gives you 8 pieces of thick perfectly cooked bacon with your eggs.
Will be stopping here regularly now.

After a day driving around the scenic Hudson Valley, we decided to find a local eatery. Arlene and Tom's came up in a search and was very close by. We decide to give it a try. It is a very local eatery which has been in existence for 50 years; and does not disappoint. Their sign says Home of the Meanyburger. So you have to order what a place is known for. Its one of the best burgers I have had. Also had an order of fries which were non greasy and had a very nice crisp. Perfect! Other orders were Fish and Chips, Ham on Rye with lettuce and tomato, and a Chicken Salad sandwich. Beverages were Boylan sodas. If you have never had Boylans, give it a try. Excellent, and it complimented lunch. Service was great at a comfortable price point. We did not get any dessert but the menu listed pies. I suspect they are very good and probably home made. We did, however, grabbed a few of the collasal chocolate chip cookies and an oatmeal raised cookie that were on the counter service area.
All in all, it's a keeper place. There is a reason it's been around for fify years. Consistent purveyors of fine vittles. If you are in the Port Jervis area, you must stop here for lunch.

A true diner! Food was reasonably priced and came out fast. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. Came around 9:16 am on a Sunday and got a table right away. Good vibes and kind staff. I loved that I was able to order just one slice of French toast for a few bucks. The perfect little bit of sweet with my savory eggs and potatoe pancake. You can also order just one pancake. More places need to offer this. The baked goods at the counter are delicious! We all got a cookie. It was so good. Soft and homemade just like being at grandmas.

Back in the area & still giving this place my same rating. Accommodated our party of 10 with our call ahead & service was amazing!

I wish I could rate Arlene & Tom's a 10, because that's what they really deserve. If they were closer to where we live, I think we'd be there almost every weekend.
The cinnamon bin French toast was my absolute favorite, and I'll be back just for that one. The service was beyond amazing, everything was always fresh. Definitely go try this place!

Had the (arguably) largest burger of my life today at Arlene and Tom's. I had no idea a $9 burger would be this massive - and delicious. Cooked perfectly, 10/10 would recommend. Unfortunately the fries were borderline burnt from the fryer 😮‍💨
Staff was slow to provide menus but good-natured and nice otherwise. Slow kitchen times during our Sunday visit but overall a very good spot to check out!
