Armando’s of East Brainerd

You know, little restaurants like these won’t always be the cleanest or aesthetically pleasing, but they make up for it in really, really good food. If you enjoy classic diner-​style fare then please, give Armando’s a try. I love their hamburgers and their hamburger steak dinner, and their salads are just fine too. I recommend, and I really do like this location over the others in Hixson and off Lee Highway.

I was shocked, disappointed and speechless of the experience that I had recently at Armando’s on EAST BRAINERD. I rave to everyone about how amazing there grilled chicken salad is after a friend had introduced me to the restaurant about 2 years ago I have been a loyal customer. I go frequently for lunch and always tell people to go and get the best grilled chicken salad with ranch dressing ever. That is until last Thursday. Me and 2 of my good friends went there after work we was excited about getting out together for a quick dinner after a long day at work. They had suggested other places but I told them «NO you have to try Armandos» well we got there and the guy had our order messed up after we plainly told them we wanted 2 large salads he rung us up as a small so I told him to make mine a large and PAID him the $ 2.62 difference. I didn’t think much of it until we went and set down to wait on our food. My friend found a black spot floating in her drink and we had to go get them to exchange the drink. Then they had the nerve to come out and ask me for the money because I didn’t pay for my salad! Yeah that’s how they treat a loyal customer then the manager came out and he was very rude and arrogant and making a fuss. I will NEVER go back and I want to tell everyone I know to never go back to this establishment! All they care about is money and they do not appreciate or treat their loyal customers right! If I want a grilled salad from now on I will for sure go somewhere else!

Always a great experience, reminding me of a restaurant version of the Cheers bar on the old TV show: everybody knows your name. You’re greeted like family, and the food selection is surprisingly complete. Not fancy, but replete with a diner atmosphere you’ll love. Healthier salad options with grilled chicken please every time, and their honey mustard is homemade. Dine in, take out, or drive through. During a recent winter storm, the owner opened his venue to stranded motorists and provided food. That’ll produce some loyal customers!

We had just a short time for lunch and our food came quick! The meal was great as well!
