Small diner with really good food. Be prepared to wait but it is worth it! If you can get a seat at the counter it is a lot of fun bantering with the staff.

We had heard of this diner on HGTV, but didn't realize we were so close until we walked right past it. We had already had dinner, but stopped in for dessert and coffee. Their desserts are wonderful! We had a whoopie pie (it was huge) that was great, but the real winner was the peanut butter pie!!! Atmosphere was quaint... More

This establishment has been around since 1922, so they must be doing something right. Small, cramped local place that is a main stay in Manchester. Had lunch here today, and our waiter, Tyler, was on top of things. Quick, friendly, and attentive. I had the fried haddock sandwich with fries, and hubby had pastrami with swiss with fries. Sandwiches were... More

Red Arrow always comes through! Great food, generous portions, good prices, and a great atmosphere! I've been here several times and never had a bad meal! One of my hometown favs!

My husband and I had a superb breakfast here, sitting in the same seat as Adam Sandler used when he visited this historic diner. The diner has been voted #1 for several years, and for good reason. Wait staff is very friendly, food is great and plentiful, and service is quick. Coffee was steaming hot and very good! Hot chocolate... More

Getting here is difficult, no obvious parking close by, perhaps most of the people who go here do not drive? Walking in you have the uncomfortable feeling of needing to know "how things work", it is not a user friendly place. Small and cramped, an environment that reinforces "if you do not already know how we operate then you are... More

We ate here on vacation and were suprised. The chocolate chip pancakes were a good size for the price,and the homemade Twinkies were really good!

The waitresses had a bad attitude, as if we weren't worth their time. The menus were filthy and the chairs were broken or on their way there. The rest of the diner had the same. Don't go out of your way to eat there.
