Chips and queso
Alicia M.

We decided to eat here for a quick dinner on a Saturday night and were seated fairly quickly. Service was pretty good also. We were starving so started with the chips and queso...it was good! I had the fish tacos and they were okay but seemed to be missing something. The other guests had the fish/chips and cheeseburger. I think the burger was the best choice among the table. We then decided to split the butter cake for dessert. Lol! It was the smallest butter cake that I've ever seen but I should have known by the price. The flavor was decent however. Overall the food was average but I would return.

Outside of Restaurant

For starters our waitress Rene was phenomenal she had such positive energy and was very attentive! We were seated quickly, which was nice. The outside is beautiful and the interior was just as beautiful as well. I had the summer water, which is a part of their seasonal menu and it was exactly as it sounded sooo refreshing and yummy! For appetizers we had the firecracker shrimp and the pork dumplings, both were quite good except the sauce for the dumplings was overpowering. For the entree, I had the so cal fish tacos with french fries which OMG so delicious and highly recommend because it was so flavorful! My boyfriend had the steak with loaded baked potato and mac n cheese, which he said was okay and not worth the price. We had the butter cake for dessert and also delicious! All in all it was a great experience, but I'm not sure if it's worth the price and because my boyfriend and I had different experiences with our food is why I'm giving it 3 stars.

We had Raichyl as a server and she was great!! She had so many customers but she made it a point to make us feel special! she makes great drinks too;)

Kansas City Strip
Bradley A.

Let me start this review by pointing out two things. First, this was our wedding anniversary dinner. We usually do Omar's but wanted to try this place this time. And, second, I checked in with Yelp and it turns out the restaurant "doesn't do that." Okay, fine. They sat us at the bar until we could get a table. The bartender was awesome. Had some funny talk with him and really enjoyed the banter. I had a strawberry basil lemonade. It was pretty fantastic. It cost $9. Not too keen on the price. I'm cheap. We finally got us a seat at a real table - social distanced, of course - and got our appetizer. I ordered the spicy chicken and avocado egg rolls. They were pretty okay. Don't know what to say, really. They were good. But not great. I ordered the Kansas City Strip with asparagus and mashed potatoes. The wife ordered the filet with a house salad and sweet potato fries. I didn't try the wife's food. About all she said is that it's good, but not as good as Omar's filet with the goat cheese. She really enjoyed the salad and the sweet potatoes. My steak was perfectly cooked. It was pretty good. It was definitely pretty (see pics). Taste-wise it was decent. No complaints. It lacked salt (I salt the crap out of my steaks), but it was still pretty good. The mashed potatoes were excellent. Very buttery. The asparagus was good but there was a whooping 5 pieces. We ordered the St. Louis something-another for dessert. The first taste was incredible. But I gradually grew tired of it as I ate it. Not sure if that's a reflection on the food or how full I was or the significant buzz I'd developed from the drinks. Either way, it was, again, good not great. Overall, my favorite part of Houlihan's is the atmosphere and the service. But, all in all, it's hotel food at hotel prices. Not bad, but not great. I would recommend it for a change, but not for your special nights out.

They CHEAT YOU.

***WE EXPECTED BETTER*** If you're entertaining clients, don't bother with Houlihan's, Embassy Suites, Jonesboro, AR. We ordered the stuffed chicken (approx $20) Less than a 2" diameter chicken showed up. We sent it back, the kitchen manager said "there's nothing" they can do, because the food is "pre- portioned". The server, Brittany agreed the dish looked "sad". I tipped the server the cost of my meal and left. I'm a seasoned traveler and business entertainer; If you're hungry, DO NOT waste your time/money at Houlihan's. There are better options, for entertaining customers. If poor service is Houlihan's standard, they will be closed within a year...

Salmon, Asparagus, Potatoes dish

So food was fine... the taste of it anyway but I literally only took one bite. For nearly $20 I got (not even joking I laughed when i opened my box) 4 TOTAL asparagus Negative 1/2 Cup of potatoes Negative 20 Grams of Salmon So yeah was not happy, I didn't order off the kids menu so after a long day I was pretty upset not going to lie. If I could give -stars I would...

Service was not great. Food was typical for a hotel. Lot better value for your money in Jonesboro other places.

Service was very slow during a weekday lunchtime visit, with only one server on duty. She was very…read morekind, 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!

When visiting Jonesboro, we decided to grab lunch at this cute cafe in the entertainment district…read moredowntown. The inside decor was very eclectic with art, paper stars hanging from the ceiling, and mix-matched furniture. It felt very fun. We chose to sit in a booth by the window around 1:00. There was only one other table of patrons when we arrived. It was very cold inside, but it looked clean. 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.
