Service

Jordan Dixon

Staff put on the jets game for us Manitobains :)

Eugene Vaniderstine

Sucks

Cassandra Bruneau

Tried to make me buy a bottle of water instead of just get a glass of water. This is how they get bad reviews, I go to the bar with friends and I have to drive so I wanted water. Hate the waitress I got, if I ever actually dine here during the day definately not tipping.

RAVE.NINJA

Love the food atmosphere. Great for family get togethers

Koray Dugencili

Awe our friendly blonde server is such a sweet little butter cup! She works so hard I love the veggie sandwich here but it can be spiced up a bit hehe. I think her name is Mary or Emily something like that

Doug Handley

Great service & food

Michelle Durning

Worst service I ever had and if you ask what it takes to get a drink around here they just bring you your bill and ask you to leave the bartender said we hurt are waitresses feelings lol

Lori Craig

Awesome company of people tonight. Great turn out and the aura was super. Everyone was just there to enjoy themselves like they should be.

Craig Isberg

Good food and good people

carla bowman

Waitress was knowledgable of menu....steak Neptune was cooked and seasoned just right...definitely recommend

Emily Jane Molly Gatekeeper

Usually, I have no issue with the service. The last time I was there it took 20 minutes to get a drink, and by the time we got our second, (before we even heard a last call) this older lady waitress literally plucked our drinks out of our hands and said "too bad, times up." Better luck next time.

Marjorie Dunnebacke

I enjoy having lunch at the Arlington, foods great and the staff are very friendly and efficient. My favorite is the Bombay wrap.

Linda Mae Enoksen

Fish and chips were delicious...

Love the new decor. Good staff. Good food. Comfy booths.. whats not to like.

Donovan James

Great food and lots of good servers

Daryl Carpenter

Not bad

Johnny Twoshoes

Service and meal was excellent ! Also recommend the out door court yard !

Commercial Truck Equipment Co.

A huge thanks to Jeff and his team for accommodating our last minute 30-person catering job. Jeff was great to deal with. He is friendly and professional, and is amazing at what he does. The event we had catered was one of 21 in several communities across Canada over a 1-month period. Hands down, Jeff's food and service received the highest praise. We would HIGHLY recommend anyone looking for catering in Trail to give Jeff and his team a call. If you're passing though town, make Arlington Bar & Grill your energy-refueling destination.

Only place open Sunday night

The Arlington used to be a dive... this is NOT the case anymore. It has been renovated and cleaned up which has made a huge improvement. Although the atmosphere inside is still very "bar" like, the real gem is out on the courtyard patio. It has a wonderful vibe. The whole restaurant is kid friendly but given the choice I try to take mine to sit outside. I haven't eaten all of the menu items but what I have eaten was good. Service has always been top notch. Peak times can sometimes mean a wait, but never too long. I have no problem recommending the Arlington to anyone who comes to town.

Tiana Beaudry

double tequila ceasar was excellent

Big D B

Service was brutal compared to what I usually get there.

Chris Quigley

Awesome good and service.

James Wallin

Good place but not so much. Sometimes it becomes tooo crowdy.

Kari Hill

Had two meals here both were great. Breakfest is super friggin good! Lunch I had beer battery fries with my burger, and the gravy, is actully 100% home made. I also enjoyed a proper Pina Coloda. Great patio space.

Michael Otterbein

I remember the prices being alot cheaper than this (at least half what they are now). But other than that I can't complain. Our food was served in 15 minutes or less and the waitress was very friendly. The chairs all have plexiglass which is great. They did a great job and glad that place is not some sleezy bar anymore with drunken idiots hanging around lol.

Celeste Seymour

Waited an hour to be waited on. Waitress kept walking passed us and she only had two other tables in her area the whole hour. Didnt even top up our waters. Almost walked out. Ended up flagging another waitress down who kindly paid us attention and was very apologetic and nice.

Stellar Jake

Food was quite good, not amazing though. The expanded outdoor seating area needs to be built properly... depending on where you wind up seated and what you order, this place could rate from 2-4 stars

Bekka Keller

Almost $20 for a burger that's made with frozen burger patties. Can not respect a restaurant that cannot make a burger patty. Oh and obviously served with frozen fries. The difficulty of cutting up some potatoes for fries and mixing burger meat for patties is too much for this place. Better off going to A&W at least their burger patties are fresh.

Jodie Lemieux

Why is the liquor so expensive? Pls lower prices

Nicolas Hesson

Great food and beverages. Decor needs some work.

Ryder Heim

ZURK H

Servers were good. Kitchen overwhelmed when two groups came in at close to same time. Food good!

Corey Comeau

Hard working waitresses and decent spot - not really much other choices in town so was nice to at least enjoy post show drinks.

Tyler McDougall

Unfortunately I have to change my 4 star review to a -1 due to the stupid decision to not allow people in the building without a Covid card to provide proof of vaccination. Good luck Arlington and hope you recover

Deanna Harasiuk

l had a exceptional time! food was delicious , service phenomenal ???? and yet prices reasonable for everyone

Michael PAUL Lundrigan

Great Steak! Great Service!

Peoplemeater

Really good, we were in town for a day and night and needed food, came here for lunch and it was so good we came back for supper. Love the homemade fries. If you need food, come here.

Philip Randles

Great food. Service was fast and friendly

Danny Nault

Staff here are awesome and we had a great time. In town for one night and we were pleasantly surprised with both the menu and drink selection. Awesome drinks!

Grant Gallicano

Excellent service, delicious food! We always have a pleasant evening at the Arlington.

Chase Johnston

This is the second time the A has hosted the West Kelowna Warriors Hockey Team and they've been so accommodating. Will will definitely go again.

Sweaty Saggers

Best Bar in town also great food

Sabrina Soroke

excellent eats

bobbie-jo halliday

My server was amazing and that's the only reason they're getting two stars. Without him they'd be getting zero. I ordered a meal and asked without olives and for my wrap to be a cheese flavoured wrap. The first time it comes out with olives and cheese flavoured wrap. So I sent it back second time it comes out with no olives and a plain wrap. The kitchen staff is sorely lacking reading skills

LingLing “Ling-Ling” K

great food and great service

Nakoa Major

Drinks are good price

Shayne Mc

I managed to get an order in before the kitchen closed at 8:30 pm. Classic rock on the ears and dinner was fantastic. Burger was fresh, with the beer battered fries combined with the in-house garlic aoli sauce. There is no need for ketchup. Beer service was prompt. Come here! Before 8:30, though. Cheers ????

Universe B Official Channel

Excellent!

Jordan Strobel

Good food

Allison Grave

Delicious food but unfortunately usually understaffed

FlyingWrath

Server was nice, food was good. Although I would not reccomend the Newfie Toast. Its not bad, but the fact they leave the bread at the bottom of the dish leaves it rather soggy.

Kevin DeBiasio

Unprofessional business.

Andrea Suprowich

Yum. Haven't had a bad meal at this bar type restaurant...had a super food bowl of soup on this trip...and gobbled it down! Delicious. Dont go if your looking for groovy atmosphere... Go if you're looking for good food!

David Boughton

Great service and an Excellent special burger!

EUGENE VANIDERSTINE

It's winter, turn on the heat

jasmine claypool

I've been here twice. The first time it was terrible service....I had to go get my own menu and water from the bar. After waiting 15 minutes with no service I approached the bar and asked to put my food order in. But was told i needed a server, who took my order. The food was mediocre at best. I came in again a second time a year later....I totally had forgotten the terrible service the year before. I was quickly reminded. I was with 2 friends this time. We will never be back.

Michael Browell

Yummy food and great staff

sylvia douglas

I love the Arlington

Kalissa Bloodworth

When I first entered the bar there was no welcoming OPEN sign. There was no one to greet us by the door or to tell us where to sit. As a minor (under 19) there was no sign indicating where I should sit (in other bars theres usualy a sign that indicates where minors are allowed to sit) instead we sat and waited for 20 minutes for a lady to tell us we couldn't sit in the bar area. We moved and waited another 20 minutes before someone came to see us. The staff looked over worked and frazzled. The place was clean however and the food was just ok. But after souch a negative experience walking in the food was soured.

Zurona Nelson

Great food and service oh! And booze

Anika Balsdon

Good food good atmosphere

the DelSter

People saying it used to be a dive now it's cleaned up. And thats true... Good food and people. But I came here to have a drink at a bar.. Not a restaurant sitting at a 4 person table listening to old people drinking coffee talking about the price of ointments

Anne Boutilier

THEY NOW HAVE SOME GLUTEN FREE FOODS!! ❤❤❤ I'm so excited. I had bbq wings, gf and they were wonderful. Paired them up with the ever marvelous chippers and had a dinner to die for. So good.

Diana Marie

Great food and customer service.

Steven Hall

(Translated) friendly place (Original) endroit sympathique

Lucas Billingsley

Great food, took too long to get food.

Tammy Quick

Change the menu once in awhile

Nolan V

Its always a hit and miss for food here, sometimes you leave thinking the meal was special and delicious other times you get burnt fries with a cold burger ( fixing it with the microwave ).. as far as the bar aspect its pretty normal, but fast. I really do feel bad for the servers though regarding there shotty food ( amazing, to wouldnt feed it to a dog). If the food was consistent would be giving it 5 stars.

Sev Catalano

Rick Thiessen

Just remodeled and it looks great. Enjoy karaoke and always great food. For those gluten intolerant, their gluten free wings are amazing!

Joe Petitpas

The food was awesome! 2 nights in a row and i am sure plenty more if I stayed in town longer. The waitress "Carlie " was a beautiful soul. But this fellow who calls himself "the Bartender " after a hand shake and saying hi my name is Joe"

Riya Parmar

Great food

MrHubb1

Great food, friendly,fair priced

Kevin

Good time good music and good service

L L

Made reservations, they did not reserve table. Told to sit wherever we wanted. After sitting for 15 minutes and no service we had a couple seated beside us, were given menus and had drink order taken. My wife and I left feeling like we are invisible. Was busy but wait staff was standing around at bar. Currently having a nice dinner and beer at The Trail Refinery.

Heather McWhirter

Carley is so friendly, food is great too

wayne hurlbert

ordered closed Denver with side of gravy. food was good, left $2 tip, but went to get bill and they charged me $15 for a closed Denver sandwich, figured a little expensive, normal I paid around $10 for this in other places. sorry a little shocked, could of had a big meal for that , bar looks great but didn't want to pay for renovation's

Dustin Thompson

Small town hotel bar and grill. Good selection, good food. Chef's salad is recommended.

Rockstar_Canada

Reminds me of a Denny's lol. Place was clean, and the server we had that night put up with our shenaniganry with a smile. Would go back !

Eleanor Schmutz

Always a great time at the "A" a real working man's place.

Bob Sutherland

This is the kind of bar that hires a dj to play a set, and then will tell him to only play TOP 40, even when half of the crowd there was there to see and dance to HIM and HIS PLANNED SET. Lil tip for this shady bar, maybe get an Ipod or a Radio instead of an actual DJ if you want to hear Top 40s only next time!

SHILPA KRISHNAN

This was one of our favourite restaurant but not anymore. Sorry to see the decline..

Randy Wiebe

Great food. Excellent service.

Craig cormier

Great food at Fair prices. Not super fast but good service.

Loretta Bouillon

Eating in the service is very poor and the food is sub par. Takeout seems to be a better way to go if you don’t want to wait over an hour for your food.

Shawn Beck

The prices and portions on the menu are outrageous.. get with the times Arlington owner, this is trail not Vegas

Colleen Lohner

Love the music N Food is awesome

Denver Marraty

It was so cold I had to wear my jacket. Food took forever and steak was overcooked. Waitress was inattentive. Never again. Done.

Tara Vecchio

Had a blast with Karaoke night! Fish n Chips... just like grandmas!

KevinLee Pretty

Great staff and service

Tom Tutor

I'm the daytime weekend bartender at the a, so I'm biased, but I really would like to point out that we ARE open on Sundays, although advertised differently on google. We are trying to resolve this. We can't wait to see you!

Jason Hancock

Great breakfast, great lunch and dinner. But its a bar at night and can gst pretty busy. Live music also happens on the weekend. Over all its a pretty darn good place.

Brandon Pachkowsky

Good food

Erin Been

Newly renovated. Cute little patio. Great happy hour although it ends at 5pm. Happy would be at 6pm. Extensive menu. Good food. Fun waitresses. Great place for good cool ones!

Emily Shimell

Service was not good.

Kevin Thompson

I was a little hesitant due to all the 1 star reviews, but it appears that all stems from one night where a DJ played a show that people didn't like or something and isn't actually about the bar's food or service. Service staff was super attentive, the food was good typical pub grub for a good price, and they had some decent beers on tap. I would like to see a bit more selection for local BC beers considering there are soo many great ones, but I suppose they know their clients better than I do. Fine spot to grab a quick bite after a day on the slopes.

Katelyn olson

I never make bad reviews, but tonight I was very disappointed. The service was awful, our server was extremely rude to us, telling us we never ordered things we asked for and when we mentioned it to her she pulled out her paper saying see look you never ordered it(in a very rude tone) then not checking in with us to see if we wanted more drinks, to then come over saying looks like your done ill get you a takeout box, and coming over telling us your done with your drinks ill get your bill, not asking us if we wanted anything else to drink. Then when we had asked her about the bill and getting the happy hour special she swore at us as she walked away to ask somebody about it. coming back being extremely rude to us when I wasn't even talking about my drinks just the beer on the bill. She was also throwing our receipts on the table and took my friends card then threw it back at him. weather your having a bad night or not there's absolutely no excuse to treat customers your serving in that manner. we didn't tip as much as we usually would have because the way i see it, your suppose to earn your tip not just automatically expect to get it. my friends who were still receiving the same service still tipped you 15% and you had the audacity to throw their receipt's on the table and walk away without even saying goodbye. I don't think we will be returning to this restaurant unless we don't have you as a server. I do hope you read this and learn from this. a tip is a gratitude not a mandatory thing.

Alain Leclair

Average

Joseph Gimigliano

We sat out on the patio, the flowers are coming in and it was an amazingly beautiful day. An enjoyable experience.

A Lava

Good food! Love doing take out with them

Chad Sommerfeld

Decent pub food and lots of drinks. Has a darker aged enviroment.

Kathy Byrne

Free WiFi while there.

Charlene Freeman

Really enjoyed a meal there today. I had the Thai chicken salad and hubby had the beef dip. Both huge portions with real meat not deli meat. Tasty cocktails and friendly service. Bonus that the Kwanis club was there doing meat draws and 50/50 for local fundraising. Will definitely be back next time we visit Trail !!

R H

Delicious food and great service!

tewchip

Typical pub fair with polite and attentive service, the real star is their chilli cheese fries. omg, so yum!

Scott Martin

Gave this place a break a couple of years ago because of bad service and food. Decided to give them a second chance. Ordered the steak neptune and was pleasantly surprised with the whole meal. Very Tasty.

Glenn Doig

Biased as I work here, but a great place with a great atmosphere and excellent food!

BJ Phillips

Good.

Jackie King

Doesn't really deserve 1 star tonight... Seriously so shocked that the Arlington Bar & Grill & Catering would hire a professional DJ who had planned and organized a set that excited 50 people to attend their business tonight, only to kick them out for, "not playing top 40", 1.5 hours into the set. After receiving an ultimatum, "play top 40 or leave", half of the bar left the establishment. Everyone was having a good time, there was no violence or conflict, it was an out of the blue decision surprising and disappointing many paying customers tonight. I hope the business owners realize that thousands of dollars in profit were thrown away tonight for this reason along with any chance of this artist/supporting individuals returning due to the opinion of one sole employee. I'm only posting this as a public google review because the option to leave online business reviews on the bar's Facebook page is turned off.

Lyle Frank

Ate there once it was great.

Michael Vlanich

Always great food!

Connie Bazant

Classic Vibes

Colin Gurnett

Good food and service .

maria muller

We complained to our waitress when she took a long time to take our order for a second drink, then she brought the wrong drinks. She offered no apology, just excuses. The bouncer told us we have to apologize to her for complaining about our service or we have to leave. We refused and the Assistant Manager came and gave us our bill without caring what we had to say. There is no customer service here, only staff high on power. This was my first time checking out the night life in Trail as I was in town for the Christmas holidays. I would not recommend this establishment.

Kiri Witmer

This is the worst restaurant I have ever eaten at. I am not exaggerating. We waited 50min for a veggie rice bowl and a pulled pork sandwich with fries. The veggies were previously frozen and served on rice with teriyaki sauce (keep in mind this took 50min). I could have bought this frozen at No Frills for $4. The pulled pork was really bad (sorry I don’t have specifics, this was over a month ago), the only topping was raw onion, and the fries were inedible. The fries were cold inside but tasted like they’d been cooked in really old oil. The fries left a bad taste in my mouth with each bite. I’ve never written a review like this before and put weeks into deciding if I should write this (not the servers’ fault the kitchen cooked this) but serving previously frozen vegetables and bad-tasting fries is likely a regular occurrence here. The bill came to $40 with tip. I regret not taking photos.

Valerie Smith

Went last night place full with reservations including ours. Food was good and came in prompt time. The only complaint I have is the girl that worked our section was run off her feet I watched her and at some point she was actually running. Management knows they have those reversations why are they not hiring more girls for those perticular nights. I felt sorry for those girls and their safety.

Shari Thederahn

Always great food an awesome service fair prices!! My favorite place to eat out!!

Jesse Shaw

Again another good review as I've always done this place let me do my business this place gave me what I needed when I needed it but it's steak sucked they need to improve their steak.

Chris Knol

I ordered the special from the hotel across the street, just bacon eggs and toast. After waiting 40 minutes I walked out hungry. It was 15 minutes after they opened, and everyone else got their food. Maybe they just don't want hotel guests, I don't know...

Ron Cristensen

Rubbish overcooked vegetables and really lumpy mashed potatoes. Ribs were ok...

Sarah smythe

Awesome food great staff, but the lighting is way to low can barely even see what I'm eating

Food expensive waited 1 hour and 20 minutes for some ribs chicken wrap and a small salad . Rib and vegetables were cold wrap was so salty it couldnot be eaten salad was OK have been going to arlington for years will be a long time before I try it again if ever service was excellent

Frank Keenan

This place is one of the coolest pubs in the Kootenays, great food and you wouldn't believe how soft the carpet it is.. Fries to die for you definitely worth checking out!
