About Alcenia's

Alcenia's serves incredibly good food, including the smother chicken with rice and gravy, cabbage, and mac n cheese. The chicken dishes are a highlight, with crispy fried chicken strips and tender bone-in chicken breast. Customers have noted that Alcenia's offers some of the best fried chicken in the area. The atmosphere is welcoming, making customers feel like they're visiting an old friend's house. BJ, the owner, is always warm and friendly, which adds to the enjoyable dining experience.

Though parking can be tricky and the wait for food might be long, it is well worth it because almost everything is made fresh on the spot. Guests have described the food as home-cooked and very comforting. One reviewer mentioned the catfish and fried chicken as standout choices. The staff is very kind and attentive, making sure customers feel cared for during their visit. Alcenia's is a place many plan to return to, especially for a long lunch break, because of the delicious food and warm atmosphere. The restaurant even stays open on Sundays for special occasions, showing their dedication to serving their customers. Overall, Alcenia's is a place filled with love, great food, and a welcoming environment.

Our food was good (pork chip, catfish, mac and cheese, green beans, cornbread). The building is very cute with the eclectic seating. The owner is sweet and gave her an infamous hug after ordering. I was worried about parking but they have signs with dedicated parking for their patrons.

The food was amazing! The atmosphere was cozy and unique.... and Ms. BJ and Alcenia were a delight!

Great atmosphere with friendly staff and delicious food!
