“While traveling near Jonesboro, Arkansas we wanted a local restaurant for lunch. We found Chef’s In and decided to give it a try. The staff were friendly and helpful. The other customers were so welcoming, especially when they realized we were not from Jonesboro but just passing through. As fellow southerners (we are from Alabama) we appreciated the hospitality shown The food was hot, plentiful, so many choices and tasty. I really enjoyed the peach cobbler and spouse enjoyed the German chocolate cake“

“I love the food and the servers are nice/ good at what they do and the restaurant is always so clean! However, recently i found not one but two hairs in my food. I also noticed that no one was wearing any braids, hair in buns, or even hair nets.
Don’t get me wrong, i loved the food but did not want to Finnish my grape salad after finding 2 hairs in my food… i don’t mind coming back because i do enjoy the food but next time i visit i am checking the food before consumption… please wear hair nets or tie up the hair so that it doesn’t get into the food… it seems like someone with white or blond hair lost some in my food… l have brown hair so it’s not mine x(“

I do think their menu pre-covid was better but still a nice chain restaurant.“

“We ordered delivery and the food was so good! I was pleasantly surprised with the high quality of the food. The chipotle burger was huge and the Philly had lots of steak on it. Everything was fresh and seasoned well. One suggestion/request I would make is if all the different sides could be available a la carte on DoorDash. We definitely would’ve loaded up on a bunch of them if we could have :)“

“Really disappointing lunch today. I was never served my food after waiting for almost an hour. I even noticed that they started to serve customers that ordered after me. Unfortunately. I had to ask for a refund and go back to work with no lunch. Their food is usually good, I just don't recommend them if you have any time constraints.“
