Oak Street Deli — Restaurant in Arcadia

We've always heard that this downtown deli is a popular place and wanted to check it out. It was a definitely a different experience. We thought it might be a small-size diner(like Wheelers Cafe), but surprisingly, found it to be pretty open and spacious inside, with plenty of seating. It had a nice, quiet, homey and relaxed atmosphere. It was a bit confusing at first. We walked in and no-one called out to greet us or to tell us what to do - and there was no sign, either. We heard several voices coming from the off-side back area; so, we wandered toward that direction and discovered that the waitress was on the phone, behind the counter, busily taking an order. Afterwards, she hung up, handed us both a menu, told us to make our orders, pay for it, and then go sit down anywhere we liked. It was a funny odd experience. At least, she was nice and friendly. The food once it was delivered, though, was quite good. We both ordered a bowl of soup with a half sandwich. It tasted freshly-made and hot. After that, we were pretty much on our own. If you needed anything, you got up to get it. There was a self-serve counter nearby with beverages and condiments, and a bin to put your used dishes in when you were done. The decor was interesting, too. The place had a country feel to it, with an antique Coca-Cola display and red & white checkered tablecloths. There were also other historic antiques to look at, set on the shelving above, and some sections of the walls were covered with white boards which you could leave an autograph or a message on with a marker. It was rather fun and amusing to read some of them. I am certain we will return to visit this place again. Everyone seemed to be very nice and friendly there - the townsfolk who came in appeared to have an easy commaderie with them. Next time, we'll know where to go, how their procedures go, and...

A Great Eclectic Diner that is so cool inside and out. Our soup was delish! My Mom had their homemade Creamy Cheddar Broccoli Soup and I opted for their Creamy not to hard Potato soup which I requested sharp cheddar and before I could ask for crumbled 🥓 bacon she asked me! Make sure that you bring a Magic Marker with you because it reminds me of all the signatures and Jodie 💘 Jamie from high school days all over the walls, the ceiling. They have church pews to sit while you're waiting for in line to order. You order at their counter and then they deliver hour food to you with a big heaping dose of believe it or not Southern Charm (in Florida) If you're into a great diner that reminds you of a lil place that had delicious food and not overly expensive well then YOU MUST TRY THE OAK STREET DELI IN ARCADIA, FLORIDA OUT ASAP IF YOUR IN TOWN ANTIQUITIES OR HAVE BEEN OR GOING TO K&J'S FOR YOUR LOCAL FARMED PRODUCE, VEGGIES AND FRESH LOCAL MEATS.

For those of us that have lived in and visited other areas, this is hardly a deli. The sandwiches are tasty, but a bit overpriced and way under-stuffed. Not a lot of choices for eating establishments in Arcadia, so for some it will have to do. You order at the counter and they bring it over to your table. Ours came after a short wait but one of the sandwiches was wrong. They offered to take it back and remake it but rather than wait, we said we'd eat the one brought. No offer was made to discount the sandwich, that probably would have been thrown away. Both items were good, but a far cry from a "deli" type sandwich. Pasta salad side was decent but coleslaw too sweet and watery. Doubt we'd come back....
