Good Morning All!

Glad we finally had some football yesterday.

A couple of friends of myself will be making the drive for the mid week App at Arkansas State game. Where are the best places to eat or grab a beer in Jonesboro? I know it is a few weeks away but I was curious.

Go eat Eleanor’s Pizza downtown. Man I love that place.

J-Towns currently reigns as “Jonesboro Occasions” Best Resturant in town though it will be packed to the ceiling on gameday

For local fare downtown will really be your best bet-Skinny J’s, brickhouse, N’awlins, Omar’s, Eleanor’s, Creegans etc

Red wolf boulevard will be home to your run of the mill chain restaurants (chili’s, red lobster, longhorn steakhouse, Olive Garden, slim chickens, tacos 4 life) although there are some good local selections along that stretch (Sumos, Japanese steak house, tj’s Burgers, US Pizza, wings to go, 1812 pizza company)

I also enjoy Sully’s Chicago style restaurant-it has quite a bit of TVs, pool tables and darts-that’s situated on caraway rd

On Sunday go stuff yourself at the Chef's Inn downtown for lunch buffet.

If they don’t manage to get themselves shut down and you’re looking for a hole in the wall place there’s also The Office Sports Bar lol

Best advice in this thread.

Im a fan of Skinny's. Upper crust pizza has good pizza and cold beer.

Move your pizza to Eleanors. Better pizza, more beer, cooler atmosphere.

Considering App is coming in on a Tuesday...attending Chef's Inn on a Sunday seems like a bit of a problem. However I can assure you that their food on Tuesday and Wednesday just is good as it is on Sunday. Beware though...they are only open for Breakfast and Lunch.

I think a lot of the best food options is going to be tempered by when they are looking to eat. It's not as if some of these places stay open late during the week.

Also worth passing along that Jonesboro traffic at 5pm on a Weekday is a nightmare when there's not a football game. Its twice as bad when there is a game. Wherever you are coming from, be prepared to budget longer for travel than expected, and with the new convention center project taking up most available parking, be prepared for a long healthy walk...It's good exercise.

This post says it all. JTowns is my favorite. If you do go, be aware that there will be a wait. As far as Chefs Inn, personally I am not a fan of "downhome southern cooking" of black eye peas, meatloaf, etc. even though I was raised here. If you are a fan of that then you'll like Chef's Inn.

Skinny J's, N'awlins, Eleanors, Wings To Go, Omars Steakhouse, and JTowns would be my top places.

I guess you could say Tacos 4 Life is an Arkansas chain as they are only in Arkansas.

It’s also good stuff.

Does that region of Arkansas (or the state in general) have any culinary standouts?

Something like pulled pork in NC, brisket in Texas, McDonald's in Statesboro.

Whatever it is, you can bet it'll be chewy. There's not a lot of teeth in Arkansas.




Just joking guys, I'm from Alabama.

We like BBQ, meat, potatoes, and everything else.

Idk if you could say Arkansas has a standout dish. However, Jonesboro is only 70 miles from Memphis, so Memphis style BBQ is exceptional around here. For a true taste, I'd just stop in one of the many world famous places in Memphis though. For the record, Carolina style BBQ is my second favorite style.

Pulled pork BBQ with vinegar/tomato/spice sauce, fried catfish, and then basic meat and three veggies out of the garden.

Can't go wrong with a meat and three. I worked across the street from one in high school and had at least one lunch there every weekend I was working.

If you want to know what Sunday dinner at grandma’s house tastes like here I highly recommend the Chef’s Inn I mentioned above.
