I contacted Tawni at Forever Design through a friend's recommendation. I saw her portfolio and was impressed! I received a quick response to my initial inquiry, as well as rapid responses to all inquiries! After a few email exchanges with my ideas, colors I liked, patterns I found impressive, etc., Tawni went to work. I had my design in ONE WEEK...yes, I say, ONE WEEK and it is exactly what I have been looking for after several redesigns (my own attempts, all the freebies that anyone can get out there, and a bad experience with a not so honest designer). Not only was the service quick, professional and friendly, the price is right...it is actually perfect. I would definitely recommend that you hire Tawni at Forever Design for your custom blogging/website design needs. You won't regret it!!

Alfred's Restaurants

Love this place, mostly because of the entertainment on the weekend (Kevin & Bethany Paige).  I do not really go for the food but the last time I went, I was craving a sausage/cheese platter from a restaurant down the street.  That place was so busy we couldn't get a seat.  I was glad to see a sausage/cheese platter on Alfred's menu, but didn't expect much.  But I ws wrong!  Holy cow, there was a reason that other place was too full - so I could have the same platter at Alfred's.  So much better, and a larger serving.

I can't speak for anything else on the menu, but that platter was awesome!

Best burgers & fries around.  Sometimes you go and they are shorthanded and you have to wait a little longer, but they are worth the wait.  Nice little spot for listening to the jukebox, having a few drinks, shooting some pool, eating good food and visiting friends.

Ms G's Deli

New owners have recently taken over Ms. G's...I went twice last week.  It would have gotten four stars, but the service on the 2nd visit was lacking.

I went inside the first day and had the hamburger plate - and the new owner's do NOT disappoint with it!  It is uniquely shaped, but tastes scrum-dilly-icious!  The service was pleasant.  Also, they have $5 Fridays for most all their plates/dishes. (doesn't include drink though)

I returned a couple of days later, craving the burger, and went thru the drive thru.  Boo to the drive thru service.  It wouldn't have bothered me but I had been there a couple of days before and received friendly service; further - I could hear her being oh-so pleasant to the people inside. But me, the bum at the drive thru window, she couldn't spare a smile.  She took my food order and didn't ask what drink I wanted.  She brought my food and when I asked for a drink, she heaved a sigh.  And after handing me my meal & drink, I did NOT get a thank you.  But she turned around to the person who walked in and turned on the charm.

Good food, and apparently only friendly service if you go in.

Whiskey Creek Wood Fire Grill

Went one year ago for my birthday shortly after the grand opening and it was not good.  Decided to give it another shot this past weekend...business seems to be good and it has been a year.  WRONG.

There were 2 adults and 1 tween eating.  The adults ordered the 2/$20 meal.  The tween a burger.  By the time they charged extra for my loaded baked potato (which actually was minus two of the"loaded" toppings), $2.19 each for drinks (RIDICULOUS), then for the hamburger meal, our meal ticket with tax was $40.  On top of that - the food was really no better.  I had a hamburger steak that was bland and similar to a school cafeteria hamburger.  

Maybe if we had paid $15 less it would've been worth the taste of the food we had.  It was NOT worth $40.

Love the new location and love that you can sit inside and eat and not just "drive through."  The barbecue is great, especially the Shack Fries which are my personal favorite!  They also serve Pepsi products for your Mt. Dew freaks.  Sandwiches are also yummy.   Just very good food with pleasant employees who make it a good experience.

This is one of the best women's sized clothing stores there is - clothes that are fashionable for a bigger woman and NOT grandmotherly!  The staff at the Jonesboro store is wonderful as is their manager, Crystal.  I am not the best at picking out what looks best on me.  Crystal & her staff pulled items for me to try that looked great - things I never would have thought to try on myself.

Plus the women dollars are great!  So you have to wait before you use them but $25 off a $50 purchase is well worth the wait.

The store is truly my fashion weakness.

Pizza Chef

I love Pizza Chef.  I usually go at lunch and I'll admit, I stick to what I like.  A 1 topping pizza for 1 with soda is around $7.  The calzones are awesome!

I think the staff is very friendly and yes it does take time to get your food but so worth it.  I got a free pizza once because they felt they had burned mine - so I had one for supper that night.

I haven't really fed more than myself here, but I feel like the food is great and well worth the price you will pay.
