Have you ever gone to the beach in early March in the
state of Maine and then tried to find a bathroom? Unless you want to wait in
line with twenty five or so disease invested teenagers then its virtually
impossible. This is how my story of JJs Eatery 2 in Old Orchard Beach Maine
begins. It was a rare 80 degree day in early spring and Simone and I just had to
go....and JJs located right alongside the railroad crossing in OOB was open for
Business (mine and theirs). It is actually one of the only places open year
round, and although from the outside it may not be the most inviting, the inside
was clean and the people are friendly. After enjoying the pristine clean
restrooms we felt obligated to eat something so we sat down and looked over the
menus. Nothing on the menu will really grab you attention. It is basic bar food
with lots of to be expected fried fish options. However the Turkey Vegetable
Soup grabbed Simones attention and a Pork Quesadilla on special looked good to
me. The food did not take long to arrive. The Soup was served in a coffee mug
or bowl and included fresh pulled dark and white meat turkey and large diced
turkey, carrots and onion in a turkey broth. Simple and yet very well seasoned
and tasty and Simone enjoyed it.
My Quesadilla was also pretty good and grilled
crispy. It was loaded with diced roasted pork (I would have liked pulled
better), a generous amount of mozzarella, tender apples, crisp smokey bacon and
well caramelized sweet onions. They offered sour cream and salsa on the side but
with this Quesadilla it was not really needed. Overall, this was a good choice
for a decent meal in OOB when most other places are closed. The bathrooms and
restaurant are clean, the staff is friendly and the food will not wow you, but
it definitely will hit the spot. 3.5 stars for JJs Eatery 2
