“ 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 and there is not a stem to be found in the collards. Regarding the atmosphere, the restaurant is in an old strip mall and the decor is simple, sparse even, but don't let that detour you, you are going for the food. The facility is clean, and the interior comfortable, and best of all, the owner is on site, engaging and happy to share her story. And regarding the owner, Barbara is wonderful, inviting and genuine. I really appreciate the fact that she remembered me from my previous visits and she seemed genuinely interested in wanting to know how we enjoyed our previous meals, a couple of which were carry out. Finally, i should note that this is not a cheap meal. You're not getting a stale $7 plate from the hot bar at the grocery. Please go expecting a high quality meal, prepared and served by good people, and i will hope to see you there on my next visit. ”
