You start the thread, but don't give us yours? That's a difficult question, lots of choices here in Jonesboro, but I guess if I was picking just one, Omar's Uptown.

Rice...have you ever been to hector? I hear bad things about the one restaurant here...solo maybe the gas station, but they are expensive...

No, can't say I've ever been to Hector, unless I was lost and passed through.

The little café is pretty good. Always grab a milkshake there when I go to my cabin.

Depends on what you like really, I'd say Unami's in RussVegas, followed by La Chiquita.


For a burger, CJ's. Beats the everlovin' crap out of Whattaburger.

Omar's is great but I still like the atmosphere at 501 Club.   Cowboy Ribeye!!  Oh Lordy!

Great Choices but if you are hungry for a steak and are headed down 55 through Mississippi hit up Como's steakhouse in Como, Miss. 32 ounce porter house for around $34.95. They butcher and age their own beef. I would put them up against anyone in the good old USA and yep baked potato, bread, and salad is included.

Yeah, Omar's is a little more stuffy, but basically the same food at both.

I enjoyed the Rendezvous years ago, not so much these days. I prefer Central BBQ, and for a steak, Folks Folly.

Missco

Como steakhouse is very good and worth it if in that area. Rendezvous is OK but better BBQ can be found in Memphis all day long. I favorite place to eat in Memphis is Second Line or Lafayette room.

And how many pit stops do you make after that gorging?  That would be one miserable drive home...

Tis true.  I'm eating at both this week.  Love the stuffed mushrooms and the bang bang shrimp for appetizers.

I haven't eaten at the Wilson Cafe in years, I know they've revitalized it in the past few, but was good. Sorry, I'm not a fan of the Dixie Pig, I might have caught them on a bad night as one can do with BBQ joints.

What are your thoughts on Old Post? I agree with you on fat daddy's

Missco

Yeah BBQ places are fickled. I eat at them all the time so I get that. Wilson cafe is pretty good. It is a lot different than in the past. It might have the best bread pudding I have ever eaten. The steak place at the dog track isn't bad sometimes.

Not a fan. They buy their meat pre-smoked, and more or less heat it up on a smoker.

I never knew that. It actually explains a lot. The meat is usually dry but I enjoy the sauce from old post

Yeah, it was more of a fried catfish/seafood special place when I first went in the 80's. I enjoy good food, it doesn't matter if it's home style or fancy cuisine, as long as it's good. I haven't been to Wilson since Gaylon bought the town, and the few acres surrounding it.

Cadron Creek North of Conway in Bee Branch is a great place to eat!

BBQ is very subjective and even the best places have an off day every once in a while.  I heard folks complain about Craigs and Shaddens.

In my adopted home town, Bern's Steakhouse. If you're within a two hour drive of Tampa, make a reservation. Be the best steak of your life. And the wine cellar, it's to die for. Just make sure you have slacks and a jacket.

The Bern I feel has 3.250" 38oz Chateaubriand cooked to perfection. The Bern you refer to, well, is just a socialist twit.

I don't know that I've eaten Fat Daddy's BBQ, but I go there a lot - the Coconut Shrimp is awesome.  They need to just take BBQ off the name (downtown anyway).  We have so many new places to eat.  We should do a review.  HF have you ever eatin at Chico's (Center Valley mom n pop)?  Oh add Taco Villa on 4th...
