Mains

We chose the Shrimp Po’ Boy and Sticky Pork Ribs. Of the two dishes, the Shrimp Po’ Boy was the better one with plenty of shrimp and good mix of flavours. It wasn’t the easiest thing to eat but definitely recommended.

The Sticky Pork Ribs were a bit tougher than expected and were just OK.

Shrimp Po’ Boy	Cajun-fried jumbo shrimp, lettuce, beef tomatoes and creole mayo in a hoagie roll with fries

There is one salad on the P&O Arvia 6th Street Diner Brunch menu and is similar to the Shrimp Po’ Boy without the bread roll.

Shrimp Louis Cajun jumbo shrimp, Romaine lettuce, cucumber, charred corn and Old Bay dressing (gf)

To accompany your main dishes during brunch, the 6th Street Diner offers two sides you can order. Both are suitable for vegetarians and gluten-free.

Loaded Fries	6th Street seasoning and sizzling cheese sauce (v/gf)
Cajun Corn Ribs	With coriander crema (v/gf)

Desserts

We dined at the 6th Street Diner at around 11.00am so having dessert seemed a bit too much for us but the Banana Split sounded particularly good.

Mississippi Mud Pie	Whipped cream and sticky chocolate sauce (v/gf)
Strawberry Shortcake	Fresh strawberries, shortcake, strawberry ice cream, meringue and whipped cream (v)
Banana Split	Torched banana, vegan ‘nice’ cream and toasted almonds (Vegan friendly/gf/ls)

P&O Arvia 6th Street Diner: Brunch Drinks

Drinks served at the 6th Street Diner are an additional fee but are included in the drinks package as long as they’re within the price limit.

Some wines by the glass, classic cocktails, non-alcoholic cocktails and soft drinks are included in the Classic Drinks Package.

We opted to try two of the sodas: root beer and blueberry muffin soda for £3.50 each (we didn’t have a drinks package). Having never tried a root beer before, we weren’t sure what to expect but Germolene did spring to mind when we tasted it!

P&O Arvia 6th Street Diner Menu: Dinner

Dinner is served daily from 5.30pm to 9.30pm. There are two menus that change approximately every three days. To check the menu, there’s a screen outside the 6th Street Diner so you can browse it before dining.

There’s a wider selection on the menu at dinner and it’s worth noting that the menu is completely different to brunch.

Service is fairly quick at the 6th Street Diner so is a good option if you’re planning to see a show later in the evening.

Appetisers at the 6th Street Diner

We felt that there was a good selection of appetisers to choose from for dinner at the 6th Street Dinner on Arvia.

We opted for the Reuben Croquettes, New England Clam Chowder and Corn Tortilla Trio. All dishes had lots of flavour. We didn’t expect the tortillas to be ‘bitesize’ but it’s a great option for those not wanting to fill up too early – and save more room for dessert!

Reuben Croquettes	House salt beef, Gruyere, sauerkraut and hot mustard
New England Clam Chowder	Sweet clams, smoked haddock, sweetcorn and garlic crouton crunch
Honey Cornbread	Whipped jalapeno butter and honey pot (v)
Corn Tortilla Trio	Topped with guacamole, heirloom tomato salsa, coriander, lime and palm heart and avocado ceviche (vegan friendly, gf)
6th Street Churros	Chipotle cheese sauce, chilli salt and charred lime (v)
Royal Caesar	Charred baby gem, corn-fed chicken, crispy chicken skin, Parmesan, bagel chips and Caesar dressing

Menu for Dinner at the 6th Street Diner

There are seven dishes to choose from on the main menu at the 6th Street Diner.

Home-style Pot Pie	Mushrooms, charred corn and snow peas under a puff pastry lid served with creamed potatoes, tenderstem broccoli, kale, button mushrooms, mustard and herb gravy (vegan friendly)
Shrimp n Grits	Cajun jumbo shrimp on buttery, cheesy, slow-cooked cornmeal with wilted greens (gf)
Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich	Crispy chicken breast, tangy slaw and pickles in a brioche bun served with fries and fiery mayo.
6th Street NY Strip	Steak relish, crispy shallots, grilled asparagus, spinach and a garlic butter served with fries
Baby Back Ribs	Sticky Carolina baste, pickles, fries and tumbled slaw (gf)
Louisiana BBQ Chicken	Creamed potatoes, collard greens and Louisiana BBQ sauce (gf)
Loaded Hasselback Squash	Maple chipotle glaze, mac ‘n’ cheese bites and dinner slaw (v)

The main courses were well presented and we particularly liked the quirky messages on the tableware.

The steak was cooked to our preference. The Shrimp n Grits was a bit of a risk but definitely worth it, the cornmeal was smooth and buttery.

Dessert Menu at the 6th Street Diner

If you have room for dessert, there are five to choose from!

The Fried Apple Hush Puppies are best described as sweet doughnut balls and weren’t too greasy at all. This dessert might be good for sharing.

The Key Lime Pie was definitely more like a lemon meringue pie and the top layer resembled a marshmallow.

Brooklyn Blackout Cake	Dark chocolate sponge and rich chocolate buttercream served with whipped cream (v/gf)
Coconut and Rum Cake	Rum-soaked coconut madelines, mango and lime salsa, coconut ice cream and pineapple rum gel (vegan friendly/gf/ls)
Gooey St Louis Cake	Honey and lemon sponge served with whipped cream (v)
Fried Apple Hushpuppies	Served warm with cinnamon sugar and vanilla cream dip (v)
Key Lime Pie	Graham cracker crust and candied lime (v)

6th Street Diner Dinner Drinks Menu

The drinks menu is the same as the brunch drinks menu, you will find the same wine, beer and cider available. The same cocktails are also available whether you dine here at lunch or dinner.

If there’s something you particularly like to drink that’s not available on the 6th Street Diner menu, you can always bring it with you from Anderson’s Bar nearby.

Final Thoughts and Review of 6th Street Diner Menu on P&O Arvia

The 6th Street Diner is definitely a step in a completely different direction for P&O Cruises. We were excited to try it on our Arvia cruise and dined here for one lunch and dinner.

Arvia has certainly been designed to cater for a younger demographic and the 6th Street Diner is a new casual alternative to the traditional main dining rooms.

We also appreciated that this is a later breakfast option if you didn’t feel like braving the busy buffet mid-mornings.

The restaurant itself is very well decorated to make you feel like you’re stepping into an authentic American Diner from the 50s, complete with a jukebox and rock and roll music playing. There’s a playfulness about it from the pop art decor to choosing your own song on the jukebox.

It feels like it could almost be a low-cost specialty dining restaurant given the theme and the quality of the dishes. If there had been a small cover charge we would not have been shocked.

We definitely found some hits and misses throughout the menus but overall this restaurant was a refreshing change for P&O Cruises.
