Arbuckles in East Cambridgeshire

A lovely restaurant, lively atmosphere. It has that nice American diner feel to it.As soon as we entered, we were greeted and seated by some really polite staff. Our waitress was super friendly and polite. Immediately I felt comfortable.I ordered myself a Rum n' Coke, they offered a number of rums for me to choose from which was appreciated. I also got the Steak and Chicken grill combo, with a jacket potato. I have to say, the steak was cooked beautifully and was a really decent size. The grilled chicken was full of flavour, nice and juicy and very tasty.My only critique is that I wish I had more sauce and maybe a small side salad, however I'm not going to mark down because my waitress did offer sides and sauces, so it's not the fault of the restaurant.The deserts looked great by the way, I didn't have one myself but the table next to me ordered some and would recommend any desert lovers to indulge!Lovely staff, great prices, nice location next to the cinema. Lovely evening out.

Excellent value for money speedy service and amazing food! The place you need to visit! Perfect for large bookings and family meals.

Despite it being very busy the atmosphere was pleasant. Our waitress was very chatty and friendly. Service was quick. We will be back again.

The name 'Arbuckles' reminds me of the Arby's diner chain in the US, but in actuality this place feels considerably more sophisticated. Located in Ely Leisure Village, I came here for a late lunch on a weekday where the 2-tiered restaurant was nearly 95% empty. This allowed for prompt service and food arriving in good time.In honesty, the rating given here is only 4.5 stars - they've only provisioned for a handful of vegan items (listed clearly on the main food menu) and just one alcohol-free beer. To gain the final half star, they must expand both of these offerings. I ordered the barbeque jackfruit fajitas with a side of button mushrooms and, in all, everything tasted great - the sweetness of the barbeque sauce wasn't overpowering and the jackfruit was succulent to the bite. As a bonus, there's a real spectacle to the fajita filler as it arrives at your table sizzling off a metal dish!Staff were exceptional - friendly and competent from beginning to end. American Express cards are accepted (naturally) and with abundant parking plus an accessibility-friendly entrance there's a lot to like about Arbuckles. If I were watching a movie at the nearby Cineworld, I'd be more than glad to complement my visit with a slap-up meal at this restaurant. Recommended!

A visit for a birthday celebration, and we were not disappointed. I'd booked for 4pm, and although we were a good 15 minutes early, we were promptly shown to our booth by the friendly and efficient staff. Drinks were ordered, quickly followed by our food order after studying the menu. We didn't have to wait long, and both the main meals and desserts were enjoyed by all. A lovely friendly atmosphere, and amiable, helpful staff will definitely mean a return visit!

Excellent breakfast. Seated upstairs. With a nice elevated view. Service was second to none and extremely quick.The young lady who served us at the table was very pleasant and attentive Thoroughly enjoyed the full English cooked just how I like it. Well worth a trip out to try.

Very pleasant. Staff were very attentive and helpful, food very good value (good size portions). Parking is very easy as it's located within the Ely Leisure Village. Will definitely visit again!

Friendly staff and very accommodating. Quick service.Only down side, is the vegetarian options are very lacking. I hope this is because of a 'reduced covid' menu.Update:Went for lunch, had the new menu. Very tasty.

Brilliant! We arrived a whole hour earlier than our reservation as the film we went to see finished earlier than expected, but even so we were given a warm welcome and only had to wait 5-10 mins to be seated despite them being v busy. Our waitress Kaya was friendly, helpful and timely- she arrived just when we needed her without feeling either rushed or frustrated. The food was served almost magically quickly, and it was delicious. Not to mention a really reasonable price! Shane and all the staff were brilliant and super responsive to our needs. Thank you for a wonderful meal and experience 😁
