Interesting, varied menu. Excellent food. All three of us had very different but delicious breakfast meals. I had Creamed Black Pilau Oatmeal -- sweet and spicy fried chicken breast morsels with griddles peaches and honey in oatmeal. Excellent service, fast seating (especially for a Sunday brunch), reasonable prices. A little noisy for my liking but that is usually just me. read more

Big Jones - Creamed Black Pilau Oatmeal -- sweet and spicy fried chicken breast morsels with griddles peaches and honey in oatmeal. - Southern Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My husband and I were dropping off some clothes at Brown Elephant and decided to stop and grab brunch in Andersonville. We figured we'd try out Big Jones. The decor was right up my alley. I loved the green wallpaper and the cute tables. Our waiter was very friendly and accommodating. We started with the fried green tomatoes and the crawfish fritters. Both of these appetizers were totally delicious. Perhaps the level of the starters set the bar too high for the entrees. I had the grilled andouille and eggs. The andouille sausage was very hearty and slightly spicy. The eggs were cooked perfectly too but the hominy was not my thing. I guess I've never really had hominy before but it was very bland and just kind of meh. I would have rather had some cheesy grits. My husband had the butchers breakfast which came with eggs, grits, some greens and chaudin (pork liver sausage). It was decent but nothing too outstanding. Also, our bill for brunch came to 55. Kind of pricey for brunch, granted we did get some appetizers. The appetizers were delicious though!! read more

I had been (Big) Jonesing to try this place out, so I came here with a friend and her bf on a Sunday morning for brunch. We had a 45 minute wait, which is understandable and I do not hold it against them. What did bother me, however, was that once we were seated no one came over for a bit. We were so famished I stopped the bus boy and asked him to place an order with our server for the sweet potato biscuits (which, served with honey butter and homemade blueberry jam, were very good). The complimentary beignets were piping hot and delicious as well. My friend and I split the Eggs New Orleans and the Eggs Benedict on the fried green tomatoes. I did not care for the crab cakes at all, but the the fried green tomatoes were good. The popovers also did not wow me (perhaps they were a little too browned). I felt like the entrees and the potatoes could have used a bit more seasoning as well. Not sure if I would bother trying to keep up with the Joneses again... read more

The decor is cute and nice, food was not good. You can tell they thought about it a lot when they were planning the restarant. The waiter was very kind and nice. With that said, they get a one because the food was awful. Issues: 1) I was a little annoyed because everytime I looked around there was a kid running around away from his table. I "get" that you can't always control kids. But at an establishment where you have to make reservations for brunch they should figure that out and do something. I can't be the only person in the world who doesn't want to have toddlers running around my table when I'm trying to enjoy brunch. I understand that kids behaivor isn't the fualt of the restaurant, but they didnt do anything to help the situation. I can handle it at a restarant that is less formal, doesn't take reservations, has a childrens menu, but at a place like this with the prices of the food it's innapropriate. 2) The pulled pork sandwich was awful. I'm an eater (and I have the hips to prove it) and I didn't finish this plate. That's how bad it was. The Pork was dry and lacked BBQ flavor. The only taste that came out of it was vineger. In fact I wouldn't be hugely surprised if the chef uses a vineger based BBQ sauce but he is missing some other key ingredients or the proportions are way off in his recipe. The meat itself was very dry. Another big no no with pulled pork. The meat is supposed to be tender as a result of the slow cooking of the meat over the BBQ. The bread was soggy, flavorless and didn't hold the sandwhich together. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a hamburger bun from the bread isle of jewel. when I tried to eat is like a sandwhich the bottom of the bun was so mushy and soacked through that hald of the meat fell through and my fingers were covered in soggy bread. Ewww gross. The fries were not seasoned enough and were cold. Sorry Big Jones, I won't be back. Your food is a bust, the atmosphere just isn't that cool with the neighborhood you are in there are better option out there. read more

I've been here a few times, and I've liked pretty much everything I've tried. The shrimp and grits is delicious, and I've had a few fish specials that I've loved. Favorites: the cornbread and the pickles. read more

I went to Big Jones for their fix prix menu on Thanksgiving, and I wasn't disappointed. Let's go through the Pros and Cons, shall we? Pros: Great atmosphere, though tiny, I liked the feel of the place The crabcake with fried green tomato? AMAZING. There are no other words. It was the best part of the meal, hands down. The salad, with palm hearts and a tasty dressing was pretty good. The steak was cooked to perfection and had good flavor, and was tender The creamed spinach with tomatoes was shockingly excellent Good selection of local beers Cons: Small children in the back room? Seriously, you are going to shove a small child with us back in the cramped "party room"? Not cool. Thankfully the child fell asleep during the meal. They ran out of fried mashed potatoes - which was supposed to come with the steak. I was pretty sad as I had been looking forward to them. The other potato options were fries and hashbrowns. Seriously, with the amount I paid you were going to give me FRIES? I got them, and was highly disappointed. The entrees took FOREVER. At least 30 minutes if not more. We were compensated with a round of free drinks, which was nice. The waitress kept forgetting to bring us water, or ask us if we wanted more beer. I know it was busy, but they had ample staff. At least she was nice. My friend asked for her steak well done, and it was brought out medium rare. I know this is how the steak is "supposed" to be enjoyed, but give the lady what she wants! The steak was already sliced, and we would have had to wait forever for them to fire a whole new steak. There was no whipped cream on the sweet potato pie, which it desperately needed, especially when it was served with a pepper jelly ice cream. Despite the cons, the food was pretty fantastic for the most part. While I may not come back for a fix prix menu again (too pricey) I will DEFINITELY be back on a regular day - especially to get crab cakes or fried green tomatoes again!!!! read more

My experience at Big Jones was an excellent one. It may have been the "southern coastal" claim (I tend to not like southern cooking, sorry)that made it seem SO awesome when I actually really liked it. We had the prix fixe of $25/person. We started with some cornbread that was hot from the oven with some melty butter.... then we had squash in a sauce that was to die for. It was almost ranch flavored but so much bolder. After that was a salad with plums and a plum dressing. I couldn't believe how good that was. So fresh! For the entree we had the Carolina wreck fish which the waitress said was bass. It was SO fantastic and meaty. It was almost like a steak. There were fingerling potatoes cooked perfectly... I ate everything on my plate. For dessert boyfriend had the Mississippi Mud Pie and I had the bread pudding. He actually said, "This may be the best dessert I've ever had." Wow! That's a compliment from him. My bread pudding was also ridiculously good. I ate until I couldn't stuff any more in my mouth :) It was awesome and all for $62 including our two specialty drinks. (I had the True North Cherry Coke - coke, cherry vodka and brandy cherries. And he had the Charlston Mule - ginger beer, vodka, and lime juice. They were both fabulous too.) read more

The food and beverage are very good. But that's not what this review is about. I give this restaurant 5 stars based on service alone. The staff are the perfect blend of friendly, genuine, attentive, and polite without being over the top. I could gush over Andrew (our usual server) forever. He is the server by which I compare all others. I always have a very pleasant experience at Big Jones. read more

Man, I love Big Jones. I've been there at least 5 times over the past year, and it's always been consistently good. The highlights: They typically give each table freshly-made beignets. Mmmmm. nothing quite like freshly hot fried dough first thing in the morning. And I'm not joking. Yummers. Also, the cheddar cheese biscuits are amazing. It's difficult to describe them without using expletives. Dinner: Fried green Tomatoes (when they have them) are excellent. Boucherie Plate an array of charcuterie. Each are delectable. The burger is damn fine. The shrimp and grits are tasty. I will say the pork loin and the cat fish are a little meh. But the fried deliciousness that accompanies it (a hushpuppy for the cat fish and a Cajun pork boudin ball for the pork loin) are crunchy, fatty amazingness. Also, the specials that I've sampled are some of the best food I've had there (a duck breast one night and amberjack another night). So, if you're torn about getting the special, get it. Finally, the staff is courteous, efficient and helpful. If Big Jones were a man at a bar, I would totally try to take him home. read more

On most weekends, my bf and I love the idea of having brunch outdoors with a pleasant view, while sipping on a glass of wine and partaking in people watching (including dogs) like other carefree diners. It goes without saying that we are committed to contributing our time and efforts, specifically referring to our travel time from point A to point B. In this case, Big Jones was one of the restaurants that took us 45 minutes in total train and walk time to arrive there. First, I have to say that I was pretty surprised with the classy layout of the restaurant. Nothing like I expected. The next good impression was the host at the entrance. He was nice enough to accomodate to my requests to be seated by the glass window, despite the fact that it was a busy lunch time and only limited tables available. I liked everything about the place but not so much the food that I ordered, which was the Gumbo Ya-Ya. But just to be clear, there wasn't anything wrong with the food and it was entirely my personal dislikes for the dark, smoky roux in my dish. It had a salty and slightly burned flavor to it and my bf thought the same, so we ended up adding a few tablespoons of water to make it less salty. However, the shrimp and grits from the brunch platter tasted pretty good and worth a try. If you're wondering, my bad meal at Big Jones did not affect my decision to give this place another chance. But just not anytime soon as I've more restaurant pit stops ahead! read more

Big Jones - Gumbo Ya-Ya - Southern Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Went for breakfast this morning. I specifically asked my waitor if the gravy had chunks of sausage in it. To which he replied ya big chunks. It had maybe one ounce of shredded beef in it. Also the menu boasted a creamy gravy. The gravy was mostly beef stock. Not creamy at all. So for one biscuit, two eggs, a small amount of greens. And probably 4 ounces of potatoes I paid 16$ before tax and tip. I feel totally cheated. This place is garbage. Go to Tweet instead. read more

One of the things I loved best about living in Andersonville two years back was living right around the corner from this place. God. Best brunch ever. (And incidentally, best hangover cure ever.) Gumbo? Amahzing. Benedict? Amahzing. Grits? Amahzing. But the best thing offered here? The FREE beignets they bring you in lieu of pre-meal bread. Seriously, these folks have ruined all other beignets in the world for me for the rest of my life. And they're FREE!?! read more

I have now been here for both dinner and brunch. The food and service were both exceptional on our two visits. At brunch, we were served complimentary beignets, which were super fresh. If it were socially acceptable, I would have licked the powdered sugar off the plate they were served on... Alas, I think that would have embarrassed my dear husband and disgusted our neighbors. So, I highly recommend this place. The charcuterie for dinner and the corn cakes at brunch were both amazing, but, really, so was everything! read more

Delicious dinner! Everything was wonderful. We had the shrimp and grits, the chicken and dumplings, the swamp salad, the rutabaga bisque, the savanna catfish, the savanna rice, and the butter beans. My favorite was the catfish followed closely by the shrimp and grits or the chicken and dumplings. But we were far from a consensus. Everybody had a different favorite. The waitress was really friendly too. read more

My husband and baby son took me to Big Jones for Mother's Day brunch. It was a beautiful day and alfresco dining was available, so we sat outside. The outdoor area was a perfect area to celebrate my first Mother's day. I wasn't expecting any fanfare or balloons and streamers for Mother's day, but the server didn't even acknowledge the holiday. Clearly I was with my 4 month old son and husband, it was on the day of Mother's Day... A "Happy Mother's Day" would have sufficed. She was personality plus..... *sarcastic* No love in her delivery, order taking, not even a thank you for coming. I've been a server for a number of years, I've not seen such lackluster service in a long time. The food was ok in my book. I think I may have been impressed more had the service been better. read more

Strange reception at door. They seemed confused about why we were there ( to eat at a restaurant). Then, the host shooed us out the door to wait because " the kitchen is yelling at me". Strange and pretentious. We left. read more

This place was super for brunch. We had about a 30 minute wait, but it was well worth it. Staff was friendly and professional. There were about a zillion things I could have ordered, but I went with the eggs new orleans and ate everything on my plate. My husband ate the pulled pork with grits...which were equally as enjoyable. I will be back for sure! read more

I've read all the hype about Big Jones and couldn't wait to try it...hmmmmm. I LOVE southern cooking and I know good food and Big Jones has neither. First, I should have been cautious when I walked in to find that the premise of the place is upscale-soul food. Typically if the food is any good, then the words "upscale" and "soul food" don't belong in the same sentence. I started with the gumbo ya-ya, the waitress cautioned me that it was a unique gumbo since it was made with a "dark roux". When it came to the table, she was right, it was very dark, but what she failed to inform me of was the dirt-like taste! Yuck! I forced down two bites and couldn't finish it. When the waitress returned to check on me she asked if I wanted it to go, to which I replied a very quick "No". We then discussed how it was not my idea of gumbo and she obliged by taking it off the bill (appreciated that). For my entree I had the savannah catfish and grits, it looked amazing until I bit into the fish only to find that there was absolutely no seasoning on it - not even salt! Finally, I thought let me end this meal on a good note with some dessert, so I got the peanut gooey butter cake that is served with coffee crunch. The cake was o-k, but the accompanying coffee crunch was a house made toffee that wasn't coffee flavored - it had actual coffee grinds in it! After eating a piece of the toffee I was left with bitter coffee grounds stuck in my teeth for the next 30 minutes - YUCK! This was one of the worst examples of southern cooking I've had. The only thing they did superbly was the little cornbread muffins they put on the table. I won't be back. read more

Food was good and our waitor was super nice guy. The issue was that the manager really has poor customer service. We had a large group of 14 to celebrate a birthday. We had brought a cake in for the birthday. We understood that they would charge us because we brought a dessert in, but they wanted to charge $4 per person "cutting" charge for the cake. Because we had 14 people, we would have paid $56 just to cut the cake. Absolutely outrageous. Manager was also very rude in explaining their policy to us read more

I think I just ordered the wrong dish-biscuits and gravy. Not good- should of just sent it back from the start. Looked like it had been made in advance and was sitting for awhile. Taste was uneventfull and lacked a punch. Other's in party food looked and tasted great. In the future would'nt order this dish unless I saw it being served in a different way- just sayin.... read more

Good spot in Andersonville for brunch. Everyone in our group enjoyed their food. I initially ordered the gumbo and unfortunately, it tasted really bad to me. I exchanged it for the egg Benedict and that turned out to be really delicious. I also managed to find parking close by without too much difficulty. read more

The food is great! The service not so much. Call me old fashioned, but when I order an appetizer I expect it to arrive before the meal. Having to ask for a refill on my coffee is just bad service. Do not expect to have a conversation here. The acoustics are terrible. The popovers are not to be missed. The house made bacon is worth another visit. read more

First off, I gotta say that we loved the ambiance. (Definitely walked past the unassuming facade... it's the one with the wrought iron fencing.) The drinks and dessert - chocolate caramel pudding thing - were amazing! We got the cheesy cornbread skillet and pea something fritters to start, and they were great. People were really happy with the catfish dish, and the chicken and dumplings. I got the shrimp and grits and it seemed like either the shrimp hadn't been cooked the whole way through, or maybe it was just really cold in the place and I ate slow? Also, I prefer to eat as a pescatarian and there was definitely bacon in the dish - not listed in the menu. I guess always ask - so my fault. Otherwise, it was great. And despite my mediocre review I'm going to give it another chance somewhere down the line - I mean, cocktails and desserts, if nothing else. read more

I really enjoyed the atmosphere and decor of the restaurant, it felt like I was in Charleston, SC. My friends and I ordered the Fried Chicken Salad and the Grits and Pulled Pork for appetizers and loved them both. Great fried chicken! However, our entrees were a let down. I had the scallop special which was ok, my friends had the Etouffee and Sirloin Steak. The etouffee was poorly seasoned and it tasted highly of burned roux, it even smelled burnt, we each had a taste of it and left it on the table. The sirloin was super chewy, overcooked and also very bland. We were hoping for better entrees after such good starters. We decided to try the red velvet cake and were sorely disappointed. The cakes texture was hard, like an overcooked biscuit. We almost needed a knife to cut it. I did however, love the frosting. I think I'll give it a little more time to work on their menu and try it again this summer. read more

Recently went to Big Jones for Sunday brunch (Aug 14). We sat and ordered our entrees, then ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes appetizer. The app was dropped off at the table. On it were 3 ramekins of sauce and....TWO slices of fried green tomatoes. TWO SLICES, for which we charged $10.00. AT BRUNCH!! What a ripoff!!! If you go to Joe's near michigan avenue, you receive ~10 slices, and are only charged $7.95. We were served our entrees after finishing the app in about 20 seconds. While the main plates were good, something was missing. My partner commented a little later, "It's like I didn't eat anything". Yeah, the missing something was SPICE, of any kind. Seriously, if this restaurant takes its culinary cues from the South and, even New Orleans, why didn't the food taste like it? I emailed the restaurant with my complaint, but they never responded. And, it's not like I want something in return, especially since I will NEVER waste my money by going there again. read more

I had heard raves about this place, but I'd say it was just OK. The service was flip ("Whaddya want?") and the food was good, but not spectacular. My table tried the Eugene's Breakfast, Eggs New Orleans, Pimiento Cheese Omelet and Big Jones Benedict. The cheddar biscuits and Big Jones Benedict were the best items. For this price point and difficulty getting in, I recommend heading a half mile away to Tweet! read more

So....this is a follow up review to my first. I had a bad experience on my first visit and was given a gift card by the owner to try Big Jones again. This was a very thoughtful offer, so my husband and I went last week for dinner to give this spot a second try. I will start by saying that the food is thoroughly amazing and creative! The chef is clearly very talented. We loved the complimentary corn bread. Our appetizer was one of the highlights of the meal. The oyster pecan roast was totally stunning and unique. The oysters alone were huge, and the smokey flavor was fabulous. I cannot recommend these enough. Our entrees were equally as good: fried seafood plate and pork loin. The pork actually stole the show with red bean puree and sweet potato hash. Very creative and interesting. We have no issues with the food and may go back sometime to try the fried chicken lunch. However..........the issue is with the service. My husband says that this experience was way worse than our first because it was so bizarre. I am not sure how we have gotten such odd service two visits in a row, since this is rarely a problem for us (as demonstrated by my other reviews). I will say that our server was attentive and friendly. However.... 1. I was told for 45 minutes that my jasmine tea was brewing. Very odd! I brew my own loose leaf tea at home, so this is obviously not the truth. We asked about it 5 times!!!! 2. The server got the orders wrong or forgot the orders of all five tables he was managing (we could hear everything from our location). He asked my husband several times about his drink order when my husband told him upon sitting down that he was not going to order a drink. 3. Our table and the table behind us were served water with diffuse floating debris in it. Thankfully, the people behind us spoke up. I was just going to avoid drinking during the meal, but it was replaced. 4. Our server told us for 20 minutes and 4 different times that corn bread was coming out. 5. Our server spilled water all over my edge of the table each time he was refilling my now clean glass of water and never cleaned it up. I had a dripping elbow by the end of the meal. 6. Our server had spilled water over our free meal certificate and placed it in his pocket. At the end of the meal, he did not take off the free meals from the bill and completely forgot about the certificate that was in his pocket when I reminded him about it. I actually had to tell him to look in his pocket for the voucher. There were other issues that I am not even going to comment about with regard to the service, as I do not think they serve a purpose here. However, the meal took 2 hours, and we did not even have cocktails or dessert. That is a long time. Much of the time was taken up by mistakes and excuses. Very, very, very odd! Our server did not seem to be "with it." As I mentioned, the food is totally amazing here! I am just not sure what is going on with the service. It just stuns me! read more

I made a reservation, but still needed to wait 15-20 mins. The food is decent for a brunch place. I've been to a better brunch place. The blood sausage is a waste of money, very little portion. Dont come here for birthdays because u need to pay $5/person to cut a cake/ outside food. read more

Definitely try this place for brunch, which is offered both Saturdays & Sundays. The complimentary beignets are so soft and melt in your mouth. Also, order the fried green tomatoes! It's a great dish to share -- comes with 4 fried tomatoes (and shrimp!).. it's a really filling starter. I also tried the gumbo, which I thought was pretty good as well (but the fried green tomatoes were better!). For my entree, I got the shrimp and grits -- amazing. My friend got the Eggs New Orleans, and she said that she had never had crab cakes that good. I definitely need to return so I can try those out. Try the sweet tea as well! They have a number of different flavors. I think I tried the peach and my friend had the passionfruit, and both were very refreshing. The tea comes in one glass pitcher, while the sweet syrup comes in a small beaker, so you can adjust the sweetness of your drink to your liking. They have unlimited refills, which is always nice. Also, I had an alacard thing for $10 off $25 and also a coupon from a Yelp event for the same deal -- the waitress let me use one & my friend use the other! She was really attentive throughout the entire meal as well. We had a lot of leftover food (which happens when you order $50 worth between 2 people, I guess...) and they split up our food into boxes equally, so that we wouldn't have to do that at a later time -- really thoughtful of them. Ahh, I really want to return soon... read more

I went to Big Jones tonite...SATURDAY night...What was I thinkin'!!??! Well, I pressed on. Yes, it was pretty full...but it's Saturday nite.I mean what did I expect!!? Anyway, I was seated very quickly. I was very grateful.I had an appetizer, I forgot what it was..but it was tasty. I had Chicken & Dumplins' it was nice hot & fresh.The broth was kind of on the watery side. I kinda like Chicken & Dumplins on the gravy side, instead of the "broth" side, but the ingredients were very fresh. I had desert of bread pudding with Ice Cream and Salted Caramel...very good!!!! OMG I almost forgot THE CORNBREAD!!! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. It was SOOO good!! It was served in a cast iron skillet with Honey Butter??? YES!!!!(..cuse me for bein' loud..) I was extremely pleased. I have to say Kat/Cat my waitress was TOP notch!!! Her service was extremely good!! Made sure I had water AND something to drink. She was courteous & timely. I just wanted to add that. The hostess too....very kind. I enjoyed the total experience. read more

Big Jones - Bread Pudding with Vanilla Ice Cream & Salted Carmel...Quite delicious - Southern Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Went here on a whim - we were craving down home Bayou style comfort food. Having once lived in New Orleans we were doubtful at first- but this place delivered on so many levels. The crawfish hush puppies were THE BEST. I only wish it had more sauce underneath- I could honestly eat that everyday. The shrimp and grits were wonderful and the fish special was equally delicious. We were not fans of the rice beignets, but we were forewarned by the waiter and probably should have opted for the bread pudding instead. Overall- great! read more

Severely understaffed, waited an hour and a half, hostess is waiting tables. Unless you want to wait forever for your meal, don't come. And no fried chicken. read more

I really enjoyed brunch at Big Jones with a group of friends. The migas that I ordered were very tasty and the service was so friendly. One of the owners greeted us and he was so incredibly welcoming. It was probably the nicest restaurant greeting I've ever experienced! I kind of wished that the complimentary beignets were were a little crispier, but that may just be me--I like everything really crunchy. :) And they were complimentary, after all, so it's hard to complain. I appreciate when places put little extras on the table while you wait for your food. And if the extras are something different from the norm, even better! I am looking forward to going back for dinner sometime! read more

So I have been here before and loved this place. This time... Not so much. First off the staff told me there was going to be a 30 minute wait for brunch and they would call me when they had a table ready..... They did not. We had to go up to the staff and ask, and her response was " oh, we have a table for you.". Food was ok but not great and it's kinda pricey. Should have gone with our first option and gone to Tweet. It's a long trek to Andersonville for subpart food and pretentious staff. read more

Tried to go to Big Jones for dinner on 07/30 but was informed they were closed for a private party. It would have been helpful to put that information on their website or on the outgoing message. Which neither one had because we tried to call and checked the site before driving 20 mins to the restaurant. read more

Had a delicious breakfast this morning after we ran the Wrigley run. It was our first time there and I was curious about the organic southern food mix. Our timing was perfect as we comfortably found parking on the street right outside the restaurant (it was about 10 am) and were seated near the window. We had the pulled pork and grits ($11), crabcakes in popovers ($15), and the Omelet La Forche (with crawfish, jalapenos, cheese, light bearnaise sauce and served with grits or something else - I don't remember because we chose grits - $15). The coffee was great (Intelligentsia) and the food was fresh and thoughtful. It was quantity and quality which is so excellent after a 5K. read more

I frequent this place fairly often for Sunday brunch. The beignets they start every table off with are delicious and fluffy. They are occasionally permeated with that well known old oil taste but usually they're great. I generally get the eggs benedict which I love because it comes with thick cuts of tasso ham. They have a few other versions as well for you non-traditional benedict lovers. I think a fried green tomato version is one of them. They have a nice cocktail list as well, featuring liquors like St. Germaine and Pernod and the drinks are good. Not sure that I would venture here for dinner but it will remain a go to for my favorite meal of the week, brunch! read more

Awesome southern style food, and they give you beignets on the house!

I've had good and bad experiences here. The corn cakes are amazing. The beignets they give out for free right when you order your drinks are fantastic. The menu is charming and very Louisiana French. However, I brought a friend from France once and she ordered the Shrimp and Grits and for such an expensive dish it was very disappointing. The shrimp did not appear fresh, and they were small, and the grits were very plain. I have not tried the whole menu, but it's been hit or miss for me. The drink options are not that great. The bloody mary is disappointing, the rest is just your average brunch mimosa or coffee. There is a small enclosed patio in the back. A small bar. 3 stars. read more

All right. It's a bit pricey so I can't go here much, but everything I've had here is on point. We dined on the back outdoor string-lit patio at the end of summer having meaty hollandaise crab cakes, buttery, crumbly cornbread, and a juicy shrimp burger. Good cocktails too - my "Yesterday's News" (OK I might be off with the exact name but it was something like that) struck me as very fresh, popping with lavendar and spritz. Friendly service! read more
