Northender doesn't seem to cut any corners. Can't recommend highly enough. Sauce is incredible, made-in-house. Jalapeño poppers also incredible, also made-in-house. The incentives for a restaurant to pull back and do everything out of cans... we've all seen good places go downhill. Northender hasn't done that. A local gem.

First time I liked the wings and fries. The second time I ordered I got the driest steak & cheese I ever had in my life with a side of no flavor on the steak. I also ordered the soup of the day which was rotten chicken noodle soup that I feel like a witch was stewing for Halloween. I also got wings again for my second order and they were very salty. I will not be going back and I don't think this place will get better in the future.

I placed a catering order for a company party. Everything exceeded expectations. The food was exactly as ordered and delicious. It arrived hot and on time. The staff was friendly, accommodating and patient with my many questions. We will definitely be ordering from them again in the future.

Another great find via google search. Pleasant staff with very tasty food. I had chicken cacciatore that had a very nice taste with a little heat. My wife had the vegetarian calzone that she enjoyed. The food arrived nice and hot to our table. Nice neighborhood restaurant. Highly suggest if you are in the area. Back again. Having soup special and take out pizza.

This place is truly an Arlington gem. The chicken parm sub is a steal. it’s much fuller than it needs to be, but that’s because the people here are so loving and generous towards their customers. But my favorite is their spinach and cheese calzone. I ate it in one sitting - need I say more? This place is a hole in the wall, comforting, good neighborhood joint. It does the people of Arlington proud.
