The publication included the laidback bar-b-q joint in its 2021 edition of The Restaurant List.

What’s more, Jones’ Bar-B-Q Diner is the only Arkansas restaurant to make the list.
Worthy of the recognition, the eatery has withstood the test of time, which is impressive on its own, but even more so when you learn that in early 2021, it caught fire and was severely damaged.

The fire was somewhat of a blessing in disguise, though. Loyal customers from around the nation donated tens of thousands of dollars to help fund the rebuild.
The restaurant’s success and popularity all come down to one thing – the food!
