Arnolds-Good Times Great Food
Tucked away in Lumberton, NC, Arnolds-Good Times Great Food is the kind of place where comfort food meets good vibes — and trust me, it lives up to the name. Sitting at 2725 N Roberts Ave, this local gem is where the sounds of laughter, clinking silverware, and sizzling fryers mix into a laid-back, lively dining experience.
From the moment you walk in, the casual, friendly atmosphere grabs you. Whether you're rolling in with a bunch of friends or bringing the whole family (yes, it’s super kid-friendly), the place just fits. Plus, there’s outdoor seating if you're all about catching that Carolina breeze while munching on something fried and delicious.
Now, let’s talk food — because honestly, that’s what you came for, right? One bite of their Fried Catfish Sandwich and you’ll know this isn’t your average diner fare. Crispy, seasoned just right, and served up hot. Or maybe you're feeling a little adventurous? Their Frog Legs are a crowd favorite — tender, golden, and oddly addictive. Not your thing? Go for the Fried Shrimp, which somehow manages to be both crunchy and juicy at the same time. And if you're more of a burger person, the Smokehouse Burger is smoky, meaty heaven between buns.

Stopped in on drive from nj to fla. Pleasantly surprised. Food was very good and service was excellent. Host. Servers etc all so polite and pleasant
Stopped for lunch during a torrential rain. Quick and good food with friendly service. A good stop off 95 with easy access. Support local businesses!
The FAMOUS ALLIGATOR BITES are located here! Don't be shy, try some! They're fresh, crispy, and so tender! Definitely a must try and a new experience! It is so good with the mayo based sauce that they use for the blooming onion app. Came here for the alligator bites but also tried several other items as well. For appetizers, the fried pickles, blooming onion, and onion rings are so good and perfectly fried. They use ranch and the mayo sauce for all the fried apps. For mains, the catfish sandwich was underwhelming. You can barely see the fish in the sandwich because the fish was thin and the bread was too thick. The catfish was overly fishy... thin.... and not a good fry. Super dry sandwich. We tried the fried pair of frog legs for fun and it was surprisingly good. A nice fry with tender juicy meat. Overall, staff was nice and this is a family friendly style restaurant. Appetizers are really good.
