Really good food at a decent price.Very friendly wait staff.

My punch bowl really deserves more than 3 stars, but everything else is pretty accurate.Ordered gin and tonic and pretty sure I got seltzer and gin instead. Pasta looked good but looking at the picture, plate looked dirty. (Saw that too late) I added salt to that pasta 4 times and you wouldn’t even be able to tell. Wrap was okay, just dry.Would definitely go back for the punch bowl but that’s about it.

Gets busy. Nice place for food. Beers were so so.

One of the owners, Nicole, was extremely helpful with an error that was done by Uber Eats. The Uber eats driver made an error and Nicole went above and beyond to rectify the situation. The food was prepared fresh and was delicious.. we have always loved going to arena and appreciated the help with this situation that wasn't their fault. Thank you Nicole!!!

Love the outdoor space, the happy hour specials and all of the crazy drinks. Would give this a 5 star, but my girlfriend thinks it gets too busy at times and hard to hear each other.

The vodka sauce pasta is not what it used to be! They water down the sauce now. They got cheap! They also put almost no chicken in the buffalo chicken pretzels these days. Unbelievable!

I'm from out of town and went to the Arena Bar and Grill on the recommendation of others. I have a rare digestive issue and have to take prescription medication called Creon (NON-narcotic), which needs to be taken with food (or I cannot digest my food). The owner came up to me and accused me of having/taking "goodies" (instead of creon, barbiturates). When I told her that I was offended by her comment, she gave me an attitude and caused a scene. Instead of immediately apologizing for her inappropriate words and behavior she caused a scene, accusing me of spitting on her. I am a reputable business owner from Delaware and not some backwoods junkie, but the owner treated me feel like the latter. Our server joined in on making even more of a scene. I paid our bill and immediately left. Will not go here again. The owner not only needs to issue an apology but needs to learn some etiquette. There was a MUCH better way of handling the situation from a management standpoint.

The best waffle fries in the area, hands down. Burgers are always consistently good and there's something for everyone.

Good meal, great service, clean restaurant. We had the loaded baked potato chicken and the dutchess chicken. Both were tasty and portion size was good.

Great staff, food comes out timely with a smile. Staff works well together as a team. Drinks excellent and balanced. Definitely a once a week or more visit.
