Bruce Terri Drive In and Catering — Restaurant in Barling

Firstly, the atmosphere is that of a classic American drive-in. From its seating to decor, this screams vintage American awesomeness. This is followed up by another American classic, delicious burgers, and Coca-Cola (they do have coke and pepsi products). They have all of your favorite drive-in favorites like chicken strips, beer battered onion rings, and superb superb chili dogs that are smothered in a Fort Smith origional 4-Star Chili.. I mean, you can't go wrong here. They also have other items such as catfish, Hickory Smoked BBQ, and that all-important ice cream sundae to top off that sweet spot craving! This establishment settled in the stunning Arkansas River Valley is a true family establishment, currently owned by a third generation resturanteur, Kyrk, who loves this business and community. This drive-in is equipped with store front ordering, a drive thru, a large seeting accompaniment, and catering, so there's no worry about finding a spot to order form and enjoy your meal comfortably. Service was spectacular with our meal getting out in quick time, our order being correct, condiments provided, and the server and owner both checking in on us and supplying those much needed beverage refills. The Bruce Terri drive-in is located in Barling, AR, just on the main highway through town. It's truly a community staple and a hidden gem for those passing through. Stop in and give them your business... you won't be sorry you did... and tell em' Big...

Called in 2 orders at 12:08pm, was told it would be 15 minutes. We pulled in the drive through at 12:20pm, sat there for 5 min, no one came to the window. I pulled around and parked in the lot. We went in told the guy we waitied at the window. He said i seen you and got busy. I told him what we ordered, he went to the kitchen, we could see the cook shake his head no. The guy comes and ask what we ordered, told him, he came back and said they didn't get it or it was given to someone else by mistake. He asked what we ordered again so he could send it back again, I said how long will it take he said a minute, asked how long is a minute exactly he said 15. I said we will pass thanks, we are on lunch from work and cant wait. He just said ok and walked away... There was no apology or offer to make it right. Super disappointed! I understand places are busy, the guy was just not...

Bruce Terri is why I can never leave this country. The restaurant is peak Americana. (1) You will be served by a teenager, but he or she will be polite and well-spoken, making you optimistic about the future. (2) The seating has probably not changed since the 70s, but it's so clean and well-maintained that it's astounding and nostalgic. (3) The food itself is served fresh and the ingredients are high quality. Nothing seems to come out of a freezer or microwave. The veggies seem to be higher quality than what I can find at Wal-Mart or Harp's. They must pay extra for this, so I hope they know it is appreciated by at least one customer. (4) The food tastes great, too. My wife and I argue whether it's Bruce Terri or Patrick's that has the best...
