Most Disliked
Some find the restaurant a bit cramped, especially during peak hours, which leads to busy seating arrangements. The small parking lot can also pose a hassle, particularly on Fridays at lunchtime. A few reviews mention that the wait can feel long during these busier times, but it’s often worth it for the food quality. However, those searching for a quieter time should consider visiting during off-peak hours to avoid the bustle. Regulars often recommend planning ahead, especially for larger groups, to ensure a seamless dining experience.

What a gem. I’m so glad I randomly stumbled across Arman’s while traveling from Chicago to Detroit. The double cheeseburger was everything I wanted in a burger. 10/10 recommend.

We loved this place! On an epic road trip we stopped in and were immediately treated like long-time customers. The food was top notch and the atmosphere was so cool. Find a reason to check out Arman’s! Truly one of a kind!

Some of the best hotdogs dog and polishes I've ever had. My daughter loves the grilled cheese. Very clean. Great customer service. Very old school. Love it. Its a town staple in Miller.

We just ate at the last Armans Hot Dog stand....totally delicious! The building isn't big inside or out, small parking (also, because it is crowed inside), but it is clean and the owner and his staff are very friendly. To us, better than Pops & Nick's in Crown Point. Also, it's right across from the Miller Train Station .... which looks like it is pretty close to opening....wahoooo!

Not gonna lie, I just loved the old school lunch counter vibe of this place. Stopped up here on my way to the beach for lunch. Owner and staff were just nice, fun people chatting it up with their customers. It's obvious they have a lot of regulars. I ordered an Italian beef and fries. The sandwich was very good, if not traditional. No giardiniera, but there was sport peppers, and cheese, too. It was also served with a side of a heavily-herbed jus, sort of more like a French dip with extra steps. I'm not complaining, though. Like I said, it was very good, just different. I would try a Chicago dog here, too, even though I'm not a hot dog person. I watched them make a couple and they looked good.

This is Garys best kept secret. Huge menu and the food was ridiculously good. Reasonably priced.
