Babe's Chicken Dinner House - Chicken restaurant in Arlington - 230 N Center St, USA

Great Food and Service was pretty good, Our waitress was slow to come around and had No idea how anything was done or made in the kitchen and seemed not to care to learn... The Bowls with the sides were too small for our group and not everyone got all the sides and had to wait for more to be brought out. The Meats were perfectly cooked and the sides were great as well. I'm a Top 10 Reviewer for Google Maps and I recommend this place.

I’ve visited Babe’s twice over the years, both times for a birthday dinner with family. Simple menu: your choice of one protein (fried chicken, rotisserie chicken, fried chicken tenders, chicken fried steak, fried catfish) and unlimited servings of gravy, biscuits, corn, green beans, and mashed potatoes. The food is served family style and piping hot. Quality meats, but a little on the bland side for me and nothing special, hence the four stars. Service was spectacular! There are no reservations and no call ahead feature. Your entire party must be present to be sat, which does make a party of 20-25 challenging. Overall, an enjoyable time, but not a restaurant that we will frequent. If you like southern home style cooking, you will like Babe’s so give them a try!

While in Arlington a lot of folks recommended Babes. I knew I wanted to try the catfish and I was not disappointed! It was some of the best catfish I’ve ever had. The biscuits were buttery and delicious. I’m going to think about those biscuits for a long time. I loved the sweet and sour dressing on the very simple salad, but I’m not complaining. So good. I didn’t like the white gravy, but the corn, mashed potatoes, and green beans were fabulous. I went by myself but didn’t get anxiety because the atmosphere at lunch on a Wednesday wasn’t busy. I was glad to have visited. Best meal while in the city. I felt for the amount of food, price was perfect.

Some of the best fried chicken and home cooking I’ve had. We went on Father’s Day so I’m unsure if the entertainment was special for that or a regular thing. I posted a video of the staff doing the Hokey Pokey, that was fun. Our server was attentive and really sweet. Amazing biscuits (try the sorghum!) and mashed potatoes and gravy. It’s definitely an experience.

Lots of home cooking food. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and quick service. No alcohol though.

Really neat place!! The food was good and the atmosphere was very historic and unique! Inside is VERY dark though, it takes a bit for your eyes to adjust!

I didn’t know what to expect walking into babes. It’s a family style eating experience. The waiter made it simple for all of us; 5 meats, biscuits, salads, and sides. We ordered all five meats. My favorite was actually the chicken tenders. Decent sized and crispy. Everything else just reminded me of your local buffet restaurant. My dad complained that the country fried steak was chewy. I wasn’t too impressed with the smoked chicken either. If they added a baked or smothered chicken in the future, I would visit again. But if you have a big family and like southern style food, maybe this place is for you.

Food was good and the atmosphere is always friendly. We had a good time. Forgot to take pics of the food before we started eating.
