Babe's Chicken Dinner House - Arlington

We visit Babe’s in Arlington frequently. Our recent experience leaves a lot to desire for! Right in the door, no line, if 5 tables were occupied that’s a lot! It took the hostess, or lead waitress and two other waiters 5 min to figure out where to seat us in this very “busy” restaurant. They really made it much more complicated than it should be. Finally a waiter took us, a party of two to a dirty table that could seat 8 people. This while there is clean tables available more appropriate for a party of two. It felt like the restaurant was run by high schoolers who just had no idea! We left immediately and went somewhere else. This is a huge disappointment as we really enjoy Babe’s!

Babe 's is a local restaurant chain that serves family style shared) meals. This location has fun decor to make it look like you 're eating in the middle of a small town. Meals consist of your choice of fried or smoked chicken or fried fish along with mashed potatoes, gravy, creamed corn, green beans, biscuits and salad. The green beans and the salad aren 't great. The salad is iceberg lettuce drenched in sweet dressing and the green beans have a strong canned flavor. However, the meat and other sides make up for it with hearty portions and free refills on the sides. Definitely a unique spot for tourists but also great for families and small groups. You should expect to pay about $30 per person for a meal $19) and drink $3) after tip tax $6.20). We typically wait 10 to 20 minutes for a table. Vegetarian options: There are no vegetarian or vegan options. Dietary restrictions: Not recommended for those with dietary restrictions. The only choices are fried or smoked meat, your drink and if you want dessert. Everything else is a fixed menu and premade. Parking: Limited parking. Most lots have No parking for Babe 's customers signs that say that they will tow. Must use street parking or undersized lot behind Babe 's which is shared by two other businesses. Kid-friendliness: The small town theme of the restaurant makes it more kid friendly.

Typical homestyle cooking, nothing to be excited about, especially since they don't carry ranch dressing as a choice for salad or dipping sauce.

This location is very dark for some reason. The food was tasty but chicken pieces are smaller than usual. Service is always good.

Thank you doing doing the boot scoot for my aunt from Louisiana she loved it. The food was great as usual
