AY's BestThe stars have almost literally aligned for Paula and Karl Lowe, the husband-and-wife duo behind Roots Restaurant. The pair have extensive culinary backgrounds between them but had never dreamed of opening a restaurant in Jonesboro. 

 

“One day, we were looking at an apartment, and the next we were buying a restaurant,” they say jokingly. 

 

Roots Restaurant officially opened in the summer of 2019, and the Lowes haven’t looked back since. The revolving menu changes every three months, each time a painstaking crafting that involves not only the two and their staff, but the farmers who provide Roots with quality, fresh ingredients. 

 

“We are very proud that our Roots community nominated us for these awards,” the owners say. “We couldn’t believe it; it was too good to be true. We are very grateful.” 

 

The restaurant’s culinary accomplishments also netted it a spot on AY’s Farm Fresh Bucket List last year, as well as recognition on AY’s Best of 2020. But the Lowes aren’t complacent to merely rest on laurels. They are excitedly awaiting next year, and can’t wait to show their faithful customers what else they have in store. 

 

“We like to challenge our team and, as always, we are very thankful to have the opportunity to do what we love.”
