Thoughts: Arri's Grill (pronounced Ares) located on Whiskey Road in Aiken, is your typical hole-in-the-wall greasy diner and was voted to have the best burger in Aiken. We walked in and were immediately greeted with a warm "Hi Ya'll" from what we could tell was the only waitress in the place, (although we noticed another later). Karen, our (the) server was great! Though it was the busy lunch hour she was at our table in seconds asking if we would care for a sweet tea to drink. She was back in no time with drinks and when we asked what she would recommend she quickly pointed us to the special of day: the Lottoburger, a 6.5 oz, burger with everything you could want on it and fresh cut fries on the side for only $5.99, $6.28 if you wanted cheese. "That's what we'll have then!" we replied. Sam ordered his with American cheese and mustard, Lacey went all out with lettuce, cheese, mayo, ketchup and bacon. As we waited for our food to arrive we took a moment to look around. Arri's had proudly displayed their "Best Burger" awards on the wall as well as a few "Best in Aiken County" awards. We also noticed the presence of the "regulars" who needed no time to order and were greeted with "I'll be right out with ya burger, Baby!" from Karen. We could not have been more please when our food arrive-it was just what we expected/wanted. Hot, fresh and greasy and tasted fantastic! Overall, we enjoyed our experience!
