A popular Southern comfort food buffet considered by many as a Jacksonville landmark closed its doors permanently Monday after 19 years in business.
Arden’s Kountry Kafe has been known throughout Northeast Florida for its freshly fried chicken, Kountry fried steak, smothered with luv chicken, Salisbury steak, chicken and dumplings, collard greens, mac & cheese, tomatoes with okra, roast beef, baked chicken and other from-scratch classics.
Co-owners Arden and Michelle de Saussure announced Monday that they are reluctantly closing the restaurant at 8299 W. Beaver St. in the Marietta neighborhood. We did the best we could. We gave it 100 percent all the way through, Arden de Saussure told the Times-Union on Monday.
