Papa James Country Cooking

Wow! What a treasure we have in Jonesboro! As i ponder my words, let me say upfront, i have been four times in less than two weeks since i discovered Papa James. I unapologetically LOVE this place. Right off, the food is exceptional, high quality home cooking. Miss Barbara is an angel and and an absolute wizard in the kitchen. Over the past two weeks we have enjoyed a Saturday morning breakfast of salmon patties, eggs and cheese grits, and pancakes, eggs and smoked sausage. The salmon and pancakes were cooked to order and were fantastic, and the smoked sausage was very high quality (beef i think i heard). For our dinner meals, we have enjoyed the Salisbury Steak twice, fried pork chops, spaghetti, and tonight turkey wings and gravy over rice. The vegetables are excellent

We moved to Jonesboro two years ago and have been looking for a small, clean restaurant with good food. Saturday before the ice storm began we tried out Papa James which, it turned out, fit our search perfectly. The cook was working away on a huge pile of collard greens for the lunch meal. A good sign! The place is spotless and the cooking goes on right where you can see the action. I like that! The southern biscuits were at the highest standard I have ever eaten. If nothing else, stop in and buy yourself a comfort biscuit in the morning. It is limited menu which makes sense for a small place. We will be back!!

Excellent food served by caring professionals. I have eaten here on several occasions. The turkey wings are succulent. I have had the Salisbury steak, and the fried chicken - delicious. The sides are typical southern fare. The choices include collard greens, sweet potatoes, cabbage, mac and cheese, and many others. Try the cuisine and you will return.

Fried Pork chops was on point!! The cabbage was bomb🔥🔥🔥 pork chops was cooked to order. they weren’t sitting around in the pan waiting. There was cooked fresh and hot on demand and I loved it. Friendly service and a clean restaurant I will be back!!

Just stopped by for my very first time. The food was goooooood!! I'll definitely be back for more! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend visiting Papa James for you next meal!
