Brisket Sandwich and Sweet Potato
M J.

Let me just tell you, the food, the people, and the atmosphere are all top notch! I had the brisket sandwich. Between the buttery bun, the Smokey brisket and the three bbq sauces I tried. This sandwich was off the charts good. The sweet potato was done to perfection. Highly recommended!!!! You can stop reading here if all you care about is the food....but my experience went beyond the food. I stopped in Jonesboro for a nights stay and some food on a long road trip. Rolled in on a Saturday evening around 7:00. The staff greeted me as I walked in and they were very friendly! From the cooks to the cashier, to the folks waiting tables...everyone had a very serving attitude and was working to give me a good experience. When I walked up to the building I thought I was going into a high end,sit down for an hour, restaurant. I was presently surprised that it was more of a brewery type atmosphere. The food was high quality without the high price. BRAVO Blue Ember! I will definitely be visiting Blue Ember again on my next road trip.

Special Ops platter my husband and could have probably shared.

The food was good, the service was nice, and the ambiance is among my favorite in town. I've been there many times since they opened. During very social seasons and budgets need to be minded they still have options for me that are satisfying and fulfilling.

Hard work and diligence stacked high!

Meat was VERY good! Owner and husband had a chance to chat about grilling/smoking meat! Owner generously gave some helpful secrets away! Interior is super clean! Server behind the counter was very welcoming! Thanks Arkansas for sharing some of the best BBQ!

Sweet potato and brisket

I think I had the best every bbq in my life! Blows Central BBQ from Memphis off the table! Get here early because they ran out of chicken and ribs. It is a game day so I expected that. Apple bbq is sweet. Perfect balance. Sweet potato is enough for two. Get the Special OPS to try almost everything. I'm stuffed. It's so good. Definitely will be back.

Dry rub ribs. Super meaty and delicious

Wow!!!! Super happy I searched BBQ and didn't just try Que 49 BBQ. Showed up after work around 5pm and there were several cars in parking lot but the place wasn't crowded inside at all. It's got a great look both inside and out. I rolled into line and watch as the gentleman ahead of me ordered 1/2Lb of brisket and to my surprise there was an employee there knife in one hand and a beautiful black round of brisket in the other cut fat slices and then weighing them on a scale before plating...Never seen a BBQ place do it that way. I stepped up order my pound of brisket, ribs and chick quarters and watched to whole process play out again with speedy efficiency while at the same time being asked by another employee if I wanted any sides. Now to the food. The brisket was fall apart tender as were the ribs and they were both delicious with lots of thick meat and a nice crust and very little excess fat. The chicken quarters were also good and had a nice smoky taste. I am so happy that Jonesboro has another BBQ place and it's the best in Jonesboro for Brisket and Ribs in my opinion. I tried their 3 BBQ sauces and preferred the spicy one but they were all good. Thank you Blue Ember for coming to town!!!

Food was ok. Had a pickup order. Was ready pretty quickly. Staff was pretty rude and didn't even thank us for our business.

Lead Apron Catering did my son's wedding reception. We had their pasta bar, Smores bar and cobbler…read morebar. They did an excellent job and their food was amazing. We had very happy wedding guests with the delicious food and the presentation was beautiful. They were all very friendly and provided a great service for us. I had used them before at a retirement party and was definitely anxious to use them again. I felt the price was very reasonable for the service they delivered.

My wedding was on June 20, 2015 I used this catering company to cater for my wedding and my…read morerehearsal dinner. The dinner was done very nicely and everything was acceptable however on my wedding day I had four types of foods included in my overall menu for my children which was macaroni cheese chicken tenders corn dogs and mini cheese sandwiches. The caterer only served the mac & cheese she simply said she was sorry and ran out of time. At the end of my wedding I asked her to leave all the food for me that was not used she only left the chicken tenders there were no corn dogs left behind no mini cheese sandwiches. I asked her today for a refund and she simply said well I paid your $30 delivery charge. Let me clarify I hired some items from a company called elegant in Jonesboro Arkansas they decided to combine her delivery with mine which I had no idea and they charged her a $30 delivery fee which has nothing to do with me she then had the audacity to ask me for the $30 back but she had stuff delivered to the building too I did not charge herbthe $30 delivery fee the company did that is an issue she needs to take up with them and not to me. However I find it highly unacceptable that I asked for a refund and I was simply told I paid your delivery fee and I left food in the refrigerator for you which she did not. This was a wedding for 80 people everyone knew what was on my menu and all my children got was mac & cheese which number one was embarrassing to me because the children knew what they would be getting. This caterer then attempted to contact my brother because my wedding was in his building and to tell him that I should not contact her. I hired her I paid her I find this unprofessional since this business was conducted between her and I. There is a principle involved here I paid her she failed to deliver therefore I am entitled to a refund. Any ethical business would oblige I paid her a total of $2724.00 my only complaint about her catering is that she failed to serve what I paid for.
