The Porch at Huntington Square Bar and Grill — Restaurant in Jonesboro

Well, taste is subjective just remember that. I thought the food was average. Chicken and waffle order had to be substituted bc they were out of curry but i was told it was delicious. I thought the sliders were a little on the dry side and the Ultimate Grilled Cheese was ok, it had a half of a strip of bacon. The spicy hummus with spicy crackers was really good! I wouldn't come back for the food at Porch Thirty but i would come back to try some of the other food establishments on the grounds. I prefer outdoor places since COVID and there are not a lot of those places in Jonesboro so it's really nice that this place exists. They do serve beer, however, and they have a TV screen in the porch area so you can just come and have drinks and watch whatever sport is in season and not order any food. When we went the pizza place was not open, Burgos was closed and i didn't see the Donburi business at all. So, i think Donburi longer exists at this establishment. There is a nice open area once you come in through the Porch Thirty part and I think i remember seeing some monkey bars or something like that for kids to play on. There are other places to sit and eat throughout but you have to go to each individual food trailer and order your food. There is no table service. They do require a CC when opening a tab, which i don't like. I've been to many establishments, high-end and otherwise, that did not require you to surrender your debit/card at the bar in order to open a tab. Some places have asked for a DL or have asked to see it and then they just write down my info and send me on my way with my beer. There is also a tip jar at each window. I personally think the tipping culture in general is a little off kilter. There is no table service, you have to walk up to each business, place your order, go pick up your order when it's ready, (this includes the beer part) bring it back to your table, go back and ask for extra utensils, napkins, etc., and they think it's appropriate to ask for a tip. Why? You literally are doing the minimum in fulfilling your job description and getting a paycheck for that. Nothing extra was done for the customer, drinks were not brought out, at the window for drinks service was barely delivered with a smile and as soon as she was able she slid the window shut and got back to scrolling on her phone. The girl at the bar acted as if we showed up uninvited to her home asking her for stuff from her own cupboards, it's like the customer was a bother to her. The girl with the bike was a lot more pleasant and efficient. Despite the poor service at the drinks trailer, the rest was a pleasant visit and i would like to come back and try some of the other...

I am a Jonesboro native who lives in Los Angeles. My brother got married this past weekend, so I was home visiting family. I was taken to here with my family and can't say enough wonderful things about the inclusive and affirming staff! The owners are fantastic and the management is great to check on guests at any given time. It's truly a wonderful place. I didn't get to experience it, but I also hear they help the community get exposure to different cultures and diversity by having a drag story time! As a therapist and mental health professional, I believe inclusivity and diversity is important for healthy mental development along the lifespan. I'm glad to see there are establishments in Jonesboro Arkansas who invite diversity into their space. I will definitely be coming back over the Thanksgiving week and wish I had taken photos for my Instagram (my phone was dead!) I'll get...

Visited this place during lunch with a colleague. He ate at Porch Thirty and I ate at Donburi, which is an Asian-themed food truck on site. My colleague had curry chicken and waffles and he liked it though he noted it wasn't what he expected and the chicken tasted a little bland. The venue is nice and you are able to order alcoholic beverages on site which is also nice. They seem to have a lot of space for children to run around and play and I saw people with dogs on-site so it also seems to be pet friendly. In addition to Porch Thirty, there is previously mentioned Asian-themed restaurant Donburi, Burgos which is street taco/burger food truck, Campfire Pizza, and Lolly where you can get fancy popsicles.

Overall, not a bad spot and I would not mind coming back...
