I went to Arcade with a larger group. We were traveling from out of town and needed a quick place to grab lunch. We were fortunate to have the staff accommodate our lage group on short notice. We all put our orders in. I was surprised at the somewhat limited menu offerings. My partner and I decided to split the gourmet grilled cheese (with sauteed spinach) and french fries. I also ordered a cup of chili on the side. Our drinks came our reasonably quickly. That's where time slowed down. We waited and waited, forced to listen to an Elvis impersonator who was working the patrons in the front of the room. After 45 minutes and Elvis's greatest hits, our food for the group slowly stated arriving at out tables. First out, a tiny bowl of fruit. Next, 2 miniature beignets. After a few plates of french toast and pancakes came out, we finally were delivered our gourmet grilled cheese and fries. They were split into 2 plates. My immediate reaction was of huge disappointment. It was a sad display for sure. The "gourmet" grilled cheese was anything but gourmet. Just regular wonderbread with a paltry amount of cheese and barely any other filling including the sauteed spinach which cost extra. It was overly greasy, flavorless and lukewarm. The french fries were also cold. The plate must have been in the window for a while. I never got my chili. We had to quickly scarf down the food as to not miss our prearranged meeting time with the rest of our group. Our server was working hard, but just overwhelmed. I would not recommend this place if your in a hurry or want quality food and service.
