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.

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.

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!!

I was walking in, I had just opened the door and heard “welcome to Papa James”, and immediately felt welcome. And the lady that was preparing my food acted like she knew me? That felt good. When I got home and ate the food, I started looking for momma. 🙂 The food was good. But I found out that the menu changes daily. So call before you go, and find out what’s on the menu that day.

We stopped by and tried Papa James’ today and let me tell you, they showed out!!! It’s a meat and two sides. There were several options for both. The food was hot and so so delish!! The ladies in here today were so kind and helpful, we chose to stay and eat. We will be back! Best home cooked meal I’ve had in a while! Reminds me of my Nannie’s house for Sunday dinner! If you’re ever in Jonesboro this is a must try!!!
