When visiting Jonesboro, we decided to grab lunch at this cute cafe in the entertainment district downtown. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside decor was very eclectic with art, paper stars hanging from the ceiling, and mix-matched furniture. It felt very fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We chose to sit in a booth by the window around 1:00. There was only one other table of patrons when we arrived. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was very cold inside, but it looked clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered a ham sandwich with chips. My mom ordered a pick two with half BLT and a half cup of chicken and wild rice soup. The wait was slow for some cold sandwiches and premade soup. My sandwich was good but it just tasted like regular deli meat on white sandwich bread. The chips came from a basket with two different types of sun chips, which were not my favorite. My mom's soup did not have any chicken or meat in it, just the broth and lots of beans. It was also very spicy, which unfortunately didn't work with her dietary restriction. She wasn't able to eat much of it. We both got drinks, as well, but never refills. Our waitress didn't come back to check on us. Together the bill was in the mid $30s + tax and a tip. It just felt overpriced for mediocre food and service. Cute place, but I probably won't go back. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Quick dining experience, lots of seating, also incredible decor for the holiday season![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I really loved the huge Yeti watching us eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I think the food was only okay, it seemed a bit lacking in flavor and I found myself putting more and more hot sauce on it with every bite. However, the price point is seemingly appropriate for that! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great place for an easy bite and holiday cheer![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Vintage with a touch of whimsy is the best description I can give of the dining room. The design of this place is a pretty eclectic with thrifted pieces effortlessly incorporated into the decor and seating. It's cute. You seat yourself and a staff member will bring a menu and greet you when they get a moment. The staff were generally pleasant and helpful. Above were the positives of my experience. The wait for food for a one-person order was longer than it should've been, and the food was mediocre at best. I should have trusted the previous reviews on the omelettes, but I'm a sucker for omelettes so I tried it. It was not good. I wish the menu was more specific about the ingredient options...when I ordered onions, I didn't expect a ringlets of red onion and when I ordered peppers, I didn't expect the sweetness of red peppers. Overall, the egg to veggie ratio was off. The eggs were super thick, like when you cook 3-egg omelette in a small pan, but they were also layered like maybe it was more than 3 eggs. The veggies were sparse. I needed more of all of them (except I had to pick the red peppers out to avoid the unwelcome sweet flavor in my attempt at a savory breakfast). Also, there was butter added underneath the veggies on my omelette. Like literally a pad of butter spread underneath. I can't understand why anyone would do this when making an omelette. Finally, I had to add salt. There was no seasoning in the food...literally none. I went with hash on the side rather than grits. It was okay at best. I wouldn't have it again. Honestly, I should have gone with my first mind and ordered a biscuit sandwich...because as much as I want to go back to try that, I can't imagine taking myself back here after such a subpar culinary experience. I'd rate this experience a 1.5 so I rounded up to 2 stars. read more

Service was very slow during a weekday lunchtime visit, with only one server on duty. She was very kind, informative, and accommodating. However, the food was spectacular. The mustard potato salad was the best that I've ever tasted. The Parsonage Club Sandwich was fantastic, with its flavorful aioli! They had a nice Nora Jones soundtrack playing. The prices were imminently reasonable. This is now on my to-go list of eateries. I shall return! read more

Vibe: 9.6/10 [[HIGHLIGHT]]Modern abstract style with taste. The energy here is pretty immaculate. Although it is a bit wacky in here, it is an absolutely beautiful space. There are beautiful paintings in corners and stars hanging from the ceiling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Upstairs looks like it is [[HIGHLIGHT]]Music choice is a bit basic for something this cool tbh.

Cmon let's be so fr.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service: 10/10 [[HIGHLIGHT]]I went on a Saturday and hardly anyone was in here, which is a bit disappointing because it's great here so far.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I seated myself and I had service like 10 seconds later. It took about 10minutes to get my meal. Food: 7.9/10 - Bacon was in thicc slices which was really nice. Was cooked perfect. Waffle was so beautiful I could cry. Waffle was pretty spot on. I don't think it was the best waffle I've ever had. I almost ascended to heaven on the first bite though. The waffle gets dinged points as the butter was rock hard cold and I couldn't spread. Cinnamon roll was HUGEE. I couldn't believe my eyes. However, because of the surface area of the roll, it didn't bake very good. The roll was dry almost all of the way through. The icing was okay, nothing inventive. Time spent here: I walked in at 12:32pm and walked out at 1:07pm Overall: 8.2/10 - [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere here is great. From the decorations to the music, it is just nice being in the space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was pretty good minus the cinnamon roll. Fast service. read more

For visiting your restaurant for the first time The customer service could have really been improved our waitress was not very attentive. Food was ok.

Food: the breakfast toaster, tea, fruit. Ambiance: very country cute. Service: went on a Sunday. The waitress said they only have one chef so they could not make any substitutions or accommodations. They will only serve it exactly as it is on the menu. I wanted to have a salad or sandwich but they only have that available after 12noon. They couldn't bring me a pot of water for tea because they were all used. I just heard a lot of "can't." So we "won't" be back. read more

I always love going to the Parsonage, I do not get there often enough, the love and care that goes into every single dish they prepare, outstanding.

Food and drinks are very expensive. They can not serve scrambled eggs, but only dry overcooked omelets. A drip coffee is $4 - and server did not come to fill up. We were party of three. Two of us finished our meal by the time the third person was served their food. This seems to be the new normal in most restaurants. They also suggest a 30% tip which is ridiculous! read more

What a disappointing experience. If I had read the google reviews before visiting - the ones for which the chef writes back and refutes every concern the reviewers have and says they should have spoken to the manager while there - I wouldn't have bothered. Our Sunday brunch visit was all kinds of wrong. First off, there's a sign that says we should seat ourselves, and someone would be right with us. So we found a table for two on the covered patio. After about ten minutes, someone finally offered us menus. It was at least another ten before she took our order. In all, it was an hour from the time we sat until the time we had food. If the "seat yourself" rule was lifted, maybe the place could seat only as many customers as they can serve well, rather than serve more people poorly. Also, maybe inconsiderate guests wouldn't be moving tables and swiping seat cushions from the patio chairs so they can sit on two while leaving other guests with none. In this time of COVID no distancing guidelines were enforced. Seating was a mess, with tables pushed together and aisles blocked. The menu is rather limited. (We were given the same menu other folks have posted here.) An omelette was $12 and the only sides offered were grits or hash - no toast, no fruit. It looked like a two-egg omelette with very little meat. A four-egg omelette is $25; I suppose it's meant to be shared. A "Bishop's breakfast bowl for two" is $16.25 and includes two eggs, sausage, bacon, hash, and a biscuit. That sounds like a meal for just one hungry person - y'know, the size of a Denny's Grand Slam, except twice the price. Grits were very garlicky. Toad-in-the-hole was a modest portion. Gravy was not in the dish's description but covered the food. There were a lot of peppers and onions in there; I guess they're in the hash. I don't know why the egg yolks were hard while the egg whites were runnier than the gravy; I couldn't eat much of it. The menu lists "coffee" but no espresso drinks or other coffee treats. The person who brought our food was not the person who took our order. This second woman (a bit older than the others, who seemed to be teens) set the food down, said "Oh, you don't have silverware - hold on while I fire someone, ha ha..." so I guess she's management. She left and then returned with flatware and set it down without saying a word. She did not ask if we needed anything else. We each got a fork and soup spoon rolled up in a paper napkin. A knife would be nice with the awkward mess of toasty bread and runny eggs. No one ever came by to check on us until we were done and awaiting a check. I would have liked the aforementioned knife, salt and pepper (my food was very bland, except for the excess of green peppers), and drink refills. We heard about the alcohol situation from folks at the next table, as well as overheard a waitress explain it to other diners: the place has no liquor license, but serves mimosas and bloody Marys for free. "If you order a few, I guess we'd charge you for an orange juice," she said. We were not offered these choices, and no staff came by after we'd heard. I don't want to pay $12 for runny eggs just to subsidize other folks' drinks. Also I'm not 100% sure this is legal, even in Arkansas. So to return to the comments by the chef that other reviewers should have spoken to management: we didn't have the opportunity. There was no one to be found for any sort of help or service. I can't recommend this place. read more

We went on a Sunday for brunch and were seated immediately, our server and all the other workers were seriously so sweet and friendly! The ambiance and interior had a very unique feel that I love, my boyfriend and I ordered the OMG and it was so good that I forgot to snap a picture lol! I highly recommend checking out this spot, you won't regret it! read more

It was great. The reason I didn't give a 5 star is because they were out of certain sandwiches on the menu. Otherwise, the place was fairly busy. Service was excellent. The place looked amazing. And the food we got was perfect. If you send me the Reuben I wanted, this may move to a 5 star review. read more

This was a great spot for brunch! Be mindful that you can only order off the brunch menu if you arrive before noon on the weekends. This was a little disappointing as my vegetarian friend was left with little options. Also, they sold out of cinnamon rolls very early so we were sad that we weren't able to try that. The layout of the restaurant is great and I really liked the decor. The Belgian waffle and breakfast biscuit sandwich were wonderful. The cheese grits lacked salt and pepper. Overall, not a bad experience and I'd come back. read more

The staff was very friendly and attentive. Sadly, the food couldn't compare. I ordered the half BELT sandwich and, originally I wanted the potato soup but they ran out), the tomato soup. The sandwich was quite small but the soup bowl was a good hefty portion! But alas, the soup was waaaaay too salty for our taste. The two side of bread that came along for dipping was unfortunately stale :( However, I did enjoy our sandwiches, I just wish they were bigger in size and I would have been happy with a smaller (and less salty) portion of soup. read more

Local students recommended this place as a staple in town. Their menu offered both breakfast and lunch options. The atmosphere was unique and the service was great! The salad wrap was so delicious and as you can see the orange tomato wrap was something new I've never had! All the ingredients were cut fresh which made this meal so delicious! Highly recommend!

A comfortable atmosphere with friendly, attentive staff and great breakfast food. We were in Jonesboro for less than 48 hours but were determined to have two breakfasts there after the first one was so nice. It was a bonus to walk off the massive cinnamon bun on Main Street. read more

Very unique and quaint experience. I loved the jazz band plying when I visited! The food was wonderful. The extra cost for "alterations to the specific menu" was surprising. If you don't want something or want something different it comes at a cost? That's how I read it, maybe I was wrong? Overall a good experience. Loved the plants! Would be awesome if mimosas were on the menu. read more

So I left the courthouse with some friends, four of us in all. We went because of the pictures of the food on their website. 3 of us were on a diet. We were looking forward to some dishes served with avocados. The waitress didn't seem to know what was on the plates so we ordered what we wanted on them. After a few minutes, I believe it might have been the owner, but it may have been the manager came out to inform us there were no avocados. My friend then said that was why she had chosen to eat there. Mind you, she was going to regroup and order something else when he responded by telling us In a very rude tone that he could give us some other restaurants we could go to that might have what we wanted. He basically told us if we didn't like it then we could go somewhere else. I, feeling he very much disrespected my friend, told him we would find somewhere else and I did not appreciate his rudeness. To which he responded he didn't like her telling him that is why we chose the place. He went on to say he was sorry that he did not control the market on avocados or something to that effect. I admit, I was shocked that he went there as fast as he did. Perhaps, he is struggling to keep up the business I don't know. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were the only table in the restaurant. I would think he would have tried harder to keep us.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Won't be back. read more

I had a great lunch with a friend about a month ago. I enjoyed it so much that I came back today with my mom and aunt. It was a disaster. The waitress was struggling as the only person on the floor to take orders and bus tables. People were showing obvious signs of concern and disappointment that it was taking so long to get the food. All the while, a man who I believe was the chef, was standing beside a table in the center of the room, chatting with the two people at that table. Just having someone standing near the table and having a seemingly endless conversation was annoying enough. When our food arrived, the order was wrong. Not wanting to upset the already flustered waitress, my mom said it was okay. Me and my aunt had the same salad. It did not look appetizing. I think a half pound of shredded cheese was piled up on top of the salad. So much cheese you couldn't see any of the green salad. There was also a pile of dry shredded chicken. This is what they call the grilled chicken house salad? I can't help but think that it could have been much better....and faster to the table...if the chef was in the kitchen during the busy lunch hour, instead of having a lengthy conversation in the dining room. I was more than disappointed. I was embarrassed and ashamed that it was my idea to come here. After I had told them what a wonderful experience I had only weeks ago, this was unbelievably bad. I won't be back for a long time, if ever. i hope they see this review. Talk about it. Realize that it only takes one bad experience to lose a customer. And in losing one customer, they lose that customers friends, family, and coworkers. read more

The Parsonage - Biscuit sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jonesboro, Arkansas

Great Brunch spot for Jonesboro! As first timers, it was a little tough figuring out how to order and what to do next. So when you walk in pick up a menu and decide what you want. I recommend having one from your party sit down at a table whale you decide, just in case it's too busy. The dining area in smaller, so seating is limited. When you decide on your food, send one from your party to order at the front stand. Food: I recommend the waffles! Amazing! I ordered the breakfast sandwich with meat and eggs only and cheese grits. Very good! We also ordered biscuits and gravy and a cinnamon roll. Biscuits and gravy weren't my favorite but they give you a very generous portion! Service-their were very busy, but so sweet and checked on us to make sure our orders were correct and we all had our drinks. Very quaint, cozy little eatery. Great for a small Brunch! read more

Have tried this place now 3 different times and am disappointed with the service, the food quality and portions and lack of options and flexibility to the menu. You cannot special order anything, not even an egg. Won't go back again. read more

Food is good. I'm a fairly regular customer. Today was hopefully just an off day. Waited for my food for 45 minutes. Waitress offered me something else for free (I declined) but did not offer the food I actually ordered for free or a reduced price. I really should've just left before the food arrived. Was charged full price for the food I ordered. Disappointed with this usually reliable place. read more

Seated our party of 12 fairly quickly. Server was very quiet and hard to hear over our party. I had the biscuits and gravy and a waffle and my mother had an omelette with potato hash. The biscuits and gravy were good. The waffle was ok at best, not done enough in the center. The omelette looked like it had been in a warming tray and pulled out when ordered and was very overcooked. The meat on top was very inconsistent, ranging from just done to dry and almost burnt. The potato hash was so salty you couldn't eat it and the potatoes were dry and moist and the same time. Would've been nice to be able to order an egg in another form other than scrambled or an omelette. I feel like I would've gotten a tastier meal from IHOP. The server asked if our table wanted cinnamon rolls for appetizers, and the table ordered a couple. We were given a choice of original or Pumpkin Spice. I chose the former. The server brought out a PS cinnamon roll, explaining that they were out of the original frosting. Why substitute something without consulting with your guest first? Do you not take the possibility of allergies into consideration? Overall, food was ok at best. Staff was friendly, but inattentive. Most likely won't be back. read more

This is my favorite place in Jonesboro!! Farm to table, beautiful presentation, and occasional live music make this a great spot! Servers were kind, speedy and informative.

Quaint little spot in the downtown area. Its in one of the refurbished buildings that has kept some of its character. Its built for weekend crowds with dining & a bar downstairs as well as dining and gatherings (I think) upstairs. I went there for their breakfast, but its only served on Saturday mornings (bummer).

Delicious food. They can get very busy during brunch but it's well worth the wait. Prices are reasonable.

Wanted to try this place out today. Showed up 10 minutes before the kitchen closed. The host met us at the door and warned us that the kitchen would be closing soon in case we had been coming in for food. I said well I guess we better find something else and walked out. Idk, just didn't seem like a welcoming environment. I felt like I was there early enough to order and not be an inconvenience but idk. I'll re rate when I get to try their food. read more
