My opinion of Arena has fluctuated over the years, I'm glad it's on the upswing again. I had not ordered a cheesesteak in YEARS because I had so many that had let me down. For some reason I went off the rails last Th and went with it. I got a rodeo chicken cheesesteak(BBQ sauce, cheddar, and crispy onions), but I felt it needed more! I added lettuce, tomato, and jalapeño! It was GREAT! I'd definitely get it exactly the same again! I tried the cajun garlic parm and blue cheese honey hot as dippers for the fries, pretty damn good! The menu is pretty basic. (Not just fried stuff and burgers by all means though.) Unless you're looking for lobster, crab, and the like, you should be able to make a good choice. I wasn't sure the specialty drink I ordered really went the distance, they tend to be a little inconsistent, not really hitting the nail on the head here. But the cheesesteak, service, and the well placed and spaced seating arrangement make up for it many times over! Pleasant patrons also! Definitely want to go back soon.

Had a reservation for 5pm before the hockey game for 8-10 people. Everyone was there on time and we were seated by 5:10. We put our order in which mostly consisted of burgers and fries. We then waited till 650 to get our food which had to be to go so we could make it to the game on time. I would be a little more understanding if I didn't make a reservation and it was busy but this is pretty ridiculous. Not to mention another group the same size that arrived 30 minutes after us were severed their food with in 45 minutes. Most of my group canceled their food and only paid for drinks while my wife and I took our food to go and paid $60 to let it sit in the car because we got to the game 5 minutes before it started. Positive side, the waitress was very good and realized how ridiculous this situation was. I will never go back to this restaurant. I'm annoyed I gave them $60 for the service I received.

Came because I heard the happy hour specials were good but there's a sign at the door saying they no longer do them. Good selection of craft beer on tap. Lots of mix drinks to choose from.Non existent website. Food was good and a pretty chill crowd of locals. Best beer selection I've seen in the area as well as a bunch of mixed drink 'punch bowls'.

Food was great. Servers were attentive, and it’s a real chill but friendly clientele. I was here from out of town, only for one night. And I had a blast.

Great place to have dinner and a beer. I went when it was less busy. Food was delicious and I liked the beer selections. Tesla charging for customers is a plus too!

Was recommended by co workers, being from out of town always skeptical when someone says they are the best wings.. LMAO, that means my co workers don't get out much. Worst wings I ever had, you could tell they was frozen wings and just throw sauce over them. I know good wings. I ordered an entree and I love great service I kid you not. I placed my entree order and it came out in 3 minutes. The sauce was from the can one of the ravioli was ice cold in the middle, too good to be true.. if the food was as good as the staff this place would be awesome. I know places are cutting corners due to pricing but if that is the case adjust your menu accordingly.. the outside patio is a nice feature but just get a beer and relax.

Very small portions of the fried pickles and sweet potato fries. This was an Uber eats delivery.

Do not go by the hours on google, they are not open till the times they post . I went here two separate times before 9pm . The first time was on a Wednesday around 830 pm and the door was locked , I called the restaurant from the parking lot and they said they’re closing due to slow business . Second time was on a Sunday . The door was actually open this time and we were here before 830 . We were told at the door that it was last call and if we wanted food we had to order right away. Feeling rushed we decided to leave and find somewhere else to go. Upon leaving we saw 3 other groups of people looking to enter and decided to tell them to spend their money elsewhere . I will not be returning due to the inconsistency in this restaurant

When workers quit due to harassment and being berated , they refuse to give them their final pay. Probably happened to dozens of employees besides me and my friend who both worked there briefly before retiring due to the hostile work environment. I’ve never had something like this happen to me at any job I’ve ever had and for it to happen with a mom pop is unacceptable.

As an out of towner, I'm always a skeptic when someone says they have an award winning burger. But gosh-dang, that was a very good burger. Excellent selection on tap as well. I'll definitely be back here when work travels bring me through this town again.
Food , service and Ice Cold beer on their spacious deck everything was wonderful great Job at the Arena! Highly Recommend!!

What impressed me the most was the service. Christine was are waitress but the entire restaurant staff catered to us. The food was outstanding. Started with pierogi quesadilla and followed up with a burger. In and out quick. They don't mess around there.

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.
