About

The Southern Chef # 1

Welcome to The Southern Chef # 1, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Jonesboro, Arkansas. Located at 5750 Commerce Square, this culinary haven is not just a place to eat; it's an experience that brings the essence of Southern cooking right to your plate. Whether you're a local or just passing through, prepare to indulge in an array of flavorful dishes that span across appetizing burgers, mouthwatering sandwiches, and classic Southern comfort foods.

From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with warmth and hospitality that embodies the Southern spirit. The menu reflects a perfect blend of traditional Southern flavors with a modern twist. Let’s take a closer look at some highlights that make this establishment truly special:

  • Hand-Crafted Burgers: Sink your teeth into the acclaimed Triple Chipotle Bacon Burger. With three hand-pressed patties, crispy bacon, grilled onions, and a zesty chipotle ranch, it's an indulgent treat for any burger lover, priced at just US$14.39.
  • Irresistible Sandwiches: The Jamaican Jerk Steak Sandwich is a standout dish. Featuring ribeye steak marinated in Jamaican jerk sauce and paired with savory toppings, it’s a flavorful experience for only US$9.99.
  • Southern Classics: Dive into the 3 Pc Fish Plate, a comforting offering of fried fish with hushpuppies and two sides, making it a hearty meal priced at US$11.99.

The reviews speak volumes about The Southern Chef # 1. Patrons frequently rave about the incredible flavors and the fresh ingredients used in every dish. For instance, one customer remarked, “Don’t let the location fool you, this is literally the best burger I’ve had in a very long time!” Such words reflect the high standard of quality and satisfaction you can expect when dining here.

Another highlight is the atmosphere. Although it’s primarily a space catering to truck drivers and travelers, the inviting ambiance makes it equally enjoyable for families and friends looking for a hearty meal. As Jon Bennett noted in his review, “Wonderful people there and the food is made as soon as you order it right in front of you.” This fresh-cooked approach guarantees that each dish served is packed with flavor and made to order.

But it's not just about quality; the value is truly exceptional. Meals like the 3 Pc Chicken Strip Plate or the comforting Country Fried Steak deliver not just on taste but also on portion size and price. With dishes generally well under US$15, you leave with both a satisfied palate and a full wallet.

As you navigate your way through Jonesboro, whether it's lunchtime or dinner, make a stop at The Southern Chef # 1. It’s a culinary destination where sumptuous flavors and Southern hospitality converge. Indulge your taste buds and find out why this establishment has become a beloved choice for many. You will not be disappointed!
