• Thank you SO MUCH for posting this! I only lived in Buena Park from 1959 - 1962 but have very vivid and fond memories of Arnold's Farm House as a special treat for going out to dinner. I remember The Buttery also but as it was more pricey, we seldom went there! I am now back in OC and always ask if anyone remembers this great restaurant. (I also graduated from Walter Knott Elementary in '62 and Walter Knott, himself spoke at our graduation!)

• I remember Arnold's Farmhouse because when my sister and I were small we used to eat there almost every Sunday, at least when they had the Hawaiian Breast of Chicken, which was our favorite! The cream cheese jello and German slaw were also great!!!

• I would love to add some pics of that old neon Windmill sign they had at Arnold's to my "Photos Of The Forgotten" web site. Those of you who have not checked it out, should do so. It's chocked full of Anaheim/Googie memories and other great mid-century modern things.

• I have the greatest memories of this restaurant. My Grandma, my mom and us 3 kids went there all the time. It was the best roast beef I ever had. I remember the yummy rolls they served in a basket. My sisters and I felt so grown up using the fancy plates and cloth napkins. We went there in the late 70's to whenever it closed. I lived in BP from 1977 to 1997 and I remember that windmill standing long after the restaurant closed. They don't make em like that anymore!

• I was searching for this restaurant for a long time and came across this messageboard. Wow! what memories Arnold's Farmhouse restaurant brings back for me. My mom and I would go there when I was a kid and I loved it! I grew up in Anaheim from when I was born in 1966 until I left in 1994. I fondly remember their flan or custard they served with a burnt sugar topping. I can still taste it! I loved this place. My mom has since passed a few years back and I miss all those good times with her. I actually got a tear to my eye when I read this page. thanks much for the memories.

• Wow, cant believe I found this; I was raised in Buena Park; 1957-1979;one of my first jobs was at Arnolds Farm House, I started as a Jr Hostess and later became a cashier; of all the jobs I have had in the past 32 years this one holds the fondest memories; I was so sad when they sold the business after Mr Arnolds passing. Someone else mentioned the "Cream Cheese Jello" actualy called Tiffany Jello due to its resemblance of stained glass; it was my dads favorite, so I talked the Salad Chef into giving me the recipe which was for 200+ servings, I had to break it down to 12 servings; now its a Family tradition at Christmas. I used to love the Chicken Liver Saute, I have given up on trying to duplicate the recipe. I sometimes wonder about the people I worked with there; it was like family. What are the Arnold children (all Adults older than me now) are doing with their lives since the closing; Jim, Susan and Miles Jr. Well; thanks for the memories.

• I worked there behind the salad bar. The jello Ambrosia was to die for. The other restaurant across the street was called the Buttery. Who remembers the Japenese Deer Park?

• I, too, worked at Arnold's Farmhouse. It was my first job and I worked there from mid 1984 to late 1986. I started out on the salad line, learned hot line, and carving, I moved to cashier, hostess and quit as a waitress. I was there when the restaurant celebrated it's thirty year anniversary. Some of the friends I made when I was there I still have to this day. It truly was a family atmosphere, the guests were great, I still have the blanket one guest made for me at xmas time and the bottle of perfume another guest gave me. I will never forget meeting Reverend Schuller at xmas & easter when all the busses would come after the crystal cathedral shows. I have many pictures of the good friends and good times I had at the Farmhouse, there will never be a place that could make fried chicken that good, better than Knotts! I have, also, wondered what happend to Jim, Susan and Byze (miles JR) Those years hold some of the best memories....first loves found and lost, sharing my first apartment with friends from there, all the laughs during change over, and the madness of the BUS season! I truly miss the good ole Farmhouse
