Arthur Treachers has been around since 1969. It has had its ups and downs but when you are not as big as McDonalds that is bond to happen. Luckily it is in an up time and is making its mark in the fast food industry on the US east coast. Arthur Treacher's is all fried foods (napkins are a must for this place) but does had any heavy feelings like some other places do I find Arthur Treacher's a place to go to once in a while for when a change in my fast food rut is needed. The fact that they sell fried fish products are (for me anyway) a welcome change from the usual burger chains. They also teamed up with Pudgies Famous Chicken and are under the same roof at least at the small place in Baldwin near where I live which is almost done being renovated. It is also under new management. The only negative is that it really is a take-out and delivery place only, there are a few chairs set up so you can sit while you are waiting for your meal but no tables or booths anywhere. The biggest seller is the Original Fish and Chips.This consists of two chunks of triangular wedges of white, meaty, yet flaky moist fish in a batter and fried up , served with a healthy serving of chips (fries) and 2 hush puppies. This meal is rather filling and at $4.99 it is well worth it.
