Slow service getting the food out. In fact, we canceled an extra pancake Biscuits and gravy was good with a hint of clove. Big ol biscuits too The Florida bowl seemed popular with my table mates Upbeat vibe. Very clean read more

Excellent all around!! My first bite of oxtail and grits was an explosion of mouthwatering flavor. My husband's French toast was equally as delicious. It takes longer to get your food, but it's definitely worth the wait. read more

Saw Big John's on youtube and decided to give them a try. We arrived before 11 on a Wednesday and were able to get a seat right away. It's on the smaller side with limited seating. All of the TVs were on ESPN but the overhead music playing was good. Received our beverages in a timely manner but the food took much longer than expected based on the amount of customers inside. Ordered chicken and waffles and biscuits and gravy. When our food arrived the waffles were cool and the eggs were also cool. The chicken strips that accompany the waffles seemed like strips you get frozen from a bag and they were just ok. While we were finishing our meals, it filled up very fast with about 10 people waiting. Several tables were not filled to capacity. They should consider more 2 setting tables than having 2 people taking up a whole 4 setting table. One lady even took a whole 5 setting table near the front. The place has 2 bathrooms but customers could only use one because the other was "staff only". Line for that started to get pretty long when we were leaving, too. Overall it was an average experience. May give it another shot to try the oxtail grits. read more

Our breakfast was amazing! The grits and sausage gravy were some of the best I have ever had. The biscuit was special. The link sausage has an amazing crispiness that is rare to find. read more

Our server Lucy was amaxingggg! 10/10 for customer service! She was very friendly, patient and recommended good options for us first timers. I would recommend this place to anyone! The beautiful ladies are keeping this establishment afloat. Big John knew what he was doing when he hired them. I would give them an overall rating of 9/10. Simply because of the 2 flys that were trying to be our friends. I guess the food was smelling good to them. But the food was good. We had the following menu items: Red Velvet Waffle Chicken Wings (Mango Haberno & BBQ & Chill). I'm not a spicy person, but the Mango Haberno was my favorite and the blue cheese to complement It. Peach Cobbler French Toast = well tasted and well portioned Oxtail & Grits - Grits were good and the oxtail was good as well, but could have been marinated a little longer to catch the seasoning. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the West Palm Beach area. As far as the drinks, my friend and I got the "The Vibe" which is a bowl of corona beer and maragarita mix (you can choose your flavors). It was really good and the sever put a hurting on It. Please take caution when drinking this and have fun activities planned after. It is a big bowl, so don't think you can take It home with you, because the answer will be no! lol! Enjoy! read more

I wanted chicken and waffles and I had this on my list of places to try. The service was excellent. Very friendly, polite, and professional. I ordered the regular waffles with fried chicken quarters. Omg the fried chicken was so good, fresh and tasty! The waffles weee not as great they tasted doughy and uncooked. I ate the chicken and the waitress asked me about the waffles and I reluctantly told her. She immediately said she would bring me another serving, while it was better it was missing the crunch. The coffee was ok. When we were leaving a lady followed us out to apologize about the waffles. I would definitely go back for the fried chicken again or to try their lunch items. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. They had TV's on with sports and news. read more

Came to Big John's for my birthday ... although we arrived at 3:05 they still managed to seat us after a short wait.. all the staff were AMAZING specially our server Danni! I can't say enough good things about the food !! OMG everything was incredible!! We got an assortment of breakfast items and shared them all.. the portions are hearty and the prices reasonable.. like I said the staff was so great!! Didn't make us feel rushed and were so attentive even though the place was pretty busy.. Danni came by a bunch of times and made sure we had everything we needed every step of the way and was even nice enough to take some pictures of us at the end... The first time of MANY MORE to come for sure!! read more

So one of my friends suggested this said she heard good things. I checked Yelp and seems like people like it a lot. We tried it out. The place is kind of small and it was busy but we were seated pretty quickly. Once seated our waitress came to get our drink orders. We ordered mimosas and 3 waters. Mimosas came.. no waters. She then took our orders. Orders came out .. one was wrong. They took it back and by the time my other friend got her correct order.. we were about done eating. We asked for waters again and finally got them. I had the chicken and waffles. The waffles were nothing special but the chicken was great! (I got the honey butter chicken tenders). My friend had the French toast breakfast. She said it was very good. My other friend has salmon and grits .. she enjoyed it also. Overall the food was good , the mimosas were good but the service was trash. Good breakfast but I doubt I'd return .. kinda small and cramped and again the service was a mess. Sorry no pic of the salmon and grits.. it came out too late and I was so over it. lol read more

Waiting time is excessive. I called to be put on the waiting list and was told not there policy. Then drove an hour away, just to be put on a waiting list. Wow.. also restaurant wasn't busy. Customer Service/Greeter wasn't pleasant pointed at areas of our seating and told me there it was. Food took around 35min to come out and it wasn't hot at all. Dissatisfied. Mimosa was horrible. Overall I won't be revisiting this place. Sorry. read more

Two words: SO GOOD! We had the braised oxtail, hash brown casserole, and, the chicken and waffles. Everything was DELICIOUS. If you're in the area, it's a must try. If you're near the area, it's a must try. Seriously that good! It was a little packed crowd wise, and understandably considering it was the weekend and the food is amazing. The music was a complete vibe. Good, friendly, service. Highly recommend! read more

I was searching ChatGPT for a good brunch place and Big John's Eatery came up so, we gave it a shot. To say the food was amazing, is a complete understatement. My wife had the Florida Boy and I indulged on the Chicken and Waffles we also shared a biscuit with sausage gravy. From the service, to the atmosphere, to John himself walking the restaurant and interacting with every table- it was an experience leaving me excited for my next visit. If you're in WPB and haven't tried this restaurant...make it a priority! read more

Food 3.5 Service 3.5 Ambience relaxed Flavors were nice our food was cold The chicken sausage is really delicious The hashbrown casserole side very flavorful goes well with the Florida boy meal The French toast had a goood flavor but again Cold and looked thrown together on the plate, it was different than if you order it alone presentation looks completely different. Turkey bacon was double heated and hard. The worst part was the food being cold and slow to the table. I had high hopes for it but I was disappointed. I had to ask for drink refills. The people were friendly and minimal on attentiveness to the customers This is what happened when I went here!?! read more

If you're looking for a breakfast spot that gets everything right, this is the place. The French toast is the star of the menu--perfectly golden, fluffy, and full of flavor. The staff is genuine, friendly and welcoming, making you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in with big John himself walking around greeting people. The whole place has great vibe with good music!! Highly recommend!! read more

The restaurant is about a 15 minute ride from the airport. The quant little place is big on hospitality and flavor. The ambiance is that of a small eatery that also does carry out. We were seated promptly and were taken care of by Gabby, she was a very sweet and attentive server, she checked on us regularly. The passionfruit mimosa she mixed was amazing with fresh fruit added in. The food did not take long to come out and it was fresh and hot. The berries on the French toast were very fresh and they had several cheese that you could add to your scrambled eggs, we went with American. The oxtails were super tender, fall-off-the-bone good. The carrots, green onions and oxtail gravy added good, complex flavors to the dish. The grits were very creamy. Great dishes. Overall it was a very great experience and if I'm ever in the area, I'd love to return. read more

Cute spot ,everything was tasty, service was great and the owner was so nice. Will definitely revisit this place!

Def a must try! Some of the best food I've had in a long time. The menu had a few options but the food is delicious. Samantha our server was amazing. I don't even like gritts but the salmon was one of my favorites. The Alfredo, spinach and mushrooms complimented it well. We did the breakfast bowl with the gritts and potatoes and I think doing both balanced well. read more

Shout out to Big John's Eatery for being the saving grace during my trip to WPB! Atmosphere: Small bar, crowded waiting area, small dining area, good music, great energy Staff: Amazing! Special thanks to Kimora, who is probably one of the best servers I've ever interacted with. She helped me navigate the menu, had energy that matched my own, and the girl was hilarious! Food: I had the peach cobbler french toast and the chicken and waffles. Both plates served generous portions and were absolutely delicious. The french toast was drenched in sauce and somehow stayed moist without turning soggy. The chicken and waffles were consumed nearly 48 hours later when I returned to DC. Needless to say, they travel well! I didn't get a chance to try the oxtails, but I could tell they're good just by looking at them. I reccomened the oxtails too! (lol) A time was had, and if I'm ever in the area again, I'll be sure to stop by. read more

Food is always a 5. Service is usually a solid 4. But every now and then the kitchen gets backed up and ticket times can get delayed. But love the vibe and probably the best fried chicken I've ever had. read more

Ok, first timer at BJE, so this is first impression. Entrance was weird. A wall, a door, a sign with not much on it. No actual person, so we stood behind some other folks, who it turns out were standing at the cash register I think. A few minutes later someone said to have a seat at any 2-top or 4-top. There were actually plenty of people there, but no one manning the door to welcome guests. Kinda weird. Next impression was the all gray, undecorated space. Pretty stark. I think they were going for clean and modern. Still, needs a touch of style or color. Our server (Lucy?) was great. Very nice, very attentive, so that was a hit! Thanks Lucy! Now for the food. I had the biscuits and gravy which come with eggs. I got my eggs scrambled and they were some of the best I've had outside of home. Really great. The biscuits were large and unique. Brush with a little glaze and perfect moisture and texture. The gravy was disappointing but not bad. Just white sausage gravy that lacked flavor. I'd recommend using some broth in the base for some improved umami. But I'm spoiled with an Italian wife who inherited amazing skills and also learned southern cooking from my Tennessee grandmother and mother. Her sauces and gravies are completely addictive. My wife had a skillet with great eggs, decent potatoes, good cheese and tasty bacon, but I felt the potatoes were frozen from the purveyor and for the price should have been fresh and better seasoned. We didn't have coffee because we didn't want to spend $40+ for breakfast. I think we spent $34 plus tip, which wasn't bad, but I felt the whole experience could've been better. The staff was WAY louder at times than the guests, which should NEVER happen. They were very nice and attentive though! Someone needs to take a fresh look and walk through the experience from front door to bathrooms and tighten things up a bit. Put out a few plants, touch up the walls where paint is missing, etc. They are so close to being worth $50-$60 for breakfast! But for that money, it needs to be excellent all around. I hope this helps. Tip to guests: consider sharing unless you are very hungry! The portions are large and I'm not a fan of breakfast leftovers. read more

Very very tasty spot to brunch!! Positives definitely include how quickly you receive your food, the decor of the inside, and the taste. The food presentation is gorgeous but not better than the deliciousness of the food. The taste is out-stand-ing!! I had the oxtail and grits. They were savory and tender and the grits was impressive. The cocktails could be stronger. A few negatives (that should not deter you from checking this place out) include: the wait and wait list. Disorganized up front; The size of the restaurant. Very small so it can only accommodate a few at a time which leads to the extended wait. Can't wait to go back to try more items. read more

We came on Easter Sunday. I was just certain that it would be extremely busy but when we got there we waited less than 10 minutes to be seated. It was a party of four. The food was delicious. It came out in a timely manner. I decided to get the bottomless mimosas and it was a huge glass. I ended up doing just one because the server said that it's twice the size if I were to just get one glass. The server was quick to get us any additional items we needed. The vibe is hip and young and I would most definitely be coming back to try different items on the menu read more

Went for Breakfast and the food and the service were good? but the music was too loud. Hard to hear, and only 4 tables had guests.

After hearing about BJE in the community, I tried it for the first time today and it was nothing short of amazing. The place was pretty busy, service was awesome and the food .... Wow. I had a hard time deciding what to get and definitely want to go back to try more of the items- chicken and red velvet waffles next time for sure! read more

I heard about this place and was excited to give it a try with my friend. Well, the pictures are cute but the food, I'll describe the taste. Tyson's chicken strips, gel like grits, Ore-Ida potatoes with green onions on top to make it semi homemade. I expected home fries. Very disappointed in the waffles although we ordered plain. Too afraid to give it another try. I would give the place an A for effort. The music was so loud, it was so hard to have a conversation with someone at the same table. read more
