Simple concrete block building that reminds me of the old Florida restaurants of my youth. My kind of place. The service was great, My server, Patty, made sure my iced tea was always filled when I was ready. The tea was very good. I tried my usual first visit to a BBQ Restaurant selections. Next time I will try the pork and chicken. I ordered the Lunch combo plate with St Louis Ribs and Brisket. For sides I got the green beans and cole slaw. The ribs were cooked to perfection not over or undercooked, with great flavor. The brisket had great smoke ring and was tender, flavorful and the slices were very good. I also used their spicy BBQ Sauce. It was very good on both of the meats. They also have a sweet BBQ sauce that I didn't try. Now the sides. The Cole slaw was good, but it is a little sweet for me. Now, the green beans. My mama would say, they were undercooked. Not crunchy like I have had in some restaurants, but not cooked like how I like them and how I cook them at home. The meal also comes with toasted garlic bread. If you like good BBQ, and are in the area, I recommend you give them a try. I drove an hour each way to visit and as far as I am concerned, the trip was well worth it.

In this particular building there are tables separated by glass windows very close to other people dining in. We politely asked to be seated in another booth so we can eat without others in our mouth while eating, waitress said no problem but than set another family next to us even though the restaurant was almost empty. Next waitress came to take out orders and we asked to move again while explaining the qualm. We ordered drinks (asking for closed bottled drinks (root beers) chips and guacamole which came out surprisingly fast but on looking at the glass we noticed bug parts (wings plus more), the bottle were open and the guacamole was old browning like it had been pre made from another table (leftovers), the glasses also had very visible lip prints and dirt around the rim and inner. We got up informed the waitress that gave a rude face and undertone verbal sound as if she knew and didn't care. Pictures below.

Tried this place when we first moved to the area 3 months ago. Chose our table and sat down, then proceeded to wait for service. And wait! A table full of cowboys walked right in and were set up with drinks and order taken. Meanwhile we still waited. Hubby was making moves to leave when a waitress finally acknowledged we were alive. She was not friendly at all and never looked at us while we ordered 2 club sandwiches and fries. She still didn't look at us when she brought our iced tea and food. I didn't look at her as I paid our bill with my debit card and gleefully put a line through the tip. If service is decent they get a good tip. When I'm made to feel I'm not welcome I take the hint and their tip and never go back. Since then we have tried other local places which are good but we always return to Jenna's Terra Fried. Delicious hometown cooking, reasonable prices and wonderful wait staff who know how to make people feel welcome. Hubby wants them again tonight so we'll go. read more

Found this little place passing through Arcadia. As I walked in I notice they were busy, but I was still greeted with a pleasant Good Morning. I only noticed one waitress so I assumed there would be a wait. She quickly came to the table with a very happy Good Morning and a cup of coffee. I ordered the Country Breakfast which Angie my waitress had suggested and it was GREAT!! With the amount of locals in this little place you know this is the place to be for breakfast. The service was unbelievable and the food delicious. They aim to please . It's a must try and I will be back . If you stop in ask for Angie she was a very witty and quick on her feet kinda waitress. read more

Lots of options for a place you wouldn't expect this much to choose from. You can tell owner and long-time manager Alane really cares about this place being successful.

Inside seating is a large ship built by Howard. There is additional inside seating below the lighthouse that has an artistic tree in the middle. Alane decorates the tree depending on the season. Salads are large with a number of ingredients. The Reuben is tasty and comes with your choice of one side. Crackers brought with the meal are Ritz. Did I say the service is good. Make sure you walk around the restaurant area as there are many decorations, including the risque 'netted' mermaid in the ship.
