The specials were what grabbed our eye today as well as a trusty bagel! And I was jealous of everyone's meal and they were jealous of mine, and it was really how brunch should be! FOOD ENVY everywhere! Look forward to seeing you again True North! You're worth the trip!

A hidden gem! Every time we drive past this place it's busy and bustling - which has turned us off…read morefrom trying it for quite a while now. What a mistake! We stopped by early on a Sunday morning and were blown away by the sheer amount of space on the inside. Perfect seating options with small tables for parties of 2-4 to large tables which are big enough to fit a big family with extra space for prams and cute little booths for a more private meal. We were quickly shown a seat by the window and our coffee orders taken. We perused the menu, suited for breakfast, brunch, lunch OR dinner! Great options to suit all kinds of tastes. This place is an all day eatery with a fantastic wine and cocktail list to boot. We ordered the hotcake stack and sweet corn fritters with eggs. Given the amount of people they were serving we were surprised to get our meal within 15 minutes. Both meals pretty as a picture and the perfect size. I can't fault a thing with either meal, the ingredients matched perfectly. The hotcakes so light and fluffy with a delicious white chocolate cream on top and the sweet corn fritters (also like corn slice fried to crispy goodness) were simply amazing with perfectly poached eggs and dill cream. Now let's talk about the service - attentive and friendly. At one point someone came over the check we had received our coffee. We had, we just drank it so fast and the dirty cups were taken away so quickly our waitress hadn't noticed... Such a small and insignificant thing which made us notice how well we were taken care of. George Jones is definitely not what you would expect from a little inner suburban cafe with no competition around, but it has surpassed our expectations and we will be back many times to come.

It is located in the old prison complex, which they have turned into a housing development, but kept enough of it there so that people will be able to wander through and explore parts of the old prison.

Yeah, it's definitely a place I'd be checking out again.

Decent food , not justifiable for the same price point as Melbourne's plethora of brunch spots …read more Nothing really special about the restaurant. I had the smoked salmon omelette, it felt like something you would cook at home not order in a restaurant; don't take away from the fact that it still tastes good. I would come back here for a casual brunch but definitely not something I would specifically go to Sydney road for due to the many better choices to brunch there is in Melbourne. More like a 3.5 than a 3.

I wouldn't write home about it, or rush here to try it, but it's solid, and the prices aren't bad. Coffee was average. I ordered a long black, so maybe that's why? It was made correctly, with mot too much water used (this is key, because many cafes screw this up, even at fancier cafes), but in terms of flavour, it was lacking. Perhaps I should try a flat white next time? I'd definitely come here again if I was close to Bell St, and was too lazy to walk to True North. I really wanted to try the reuben sandwich, but it'll need to wait until next time I'm in the area!

Great for families and friends who want to share a few dishes in a casual (think: fast food) environment. It's certainly not going to win any decor or ambience prizes, but I like the family-friendly atmosphere and it hit the spot when I needed lunch in a short time frame. Order and pay at the counter and then take your wooden spoon table number and set up at one of the many tables. I shared two mixed plates of mezze (felafel, kibbeh and other fried morsels), salads (super fresh fattoush and tabbouli) and dips with Miss 3 and my favourite +1. The mix and match approach to this style of dining is great when you're trying to please varying tastes and appetites. I could have lived with less of the fried pastry-like mezze and more of the felafel so next time will specify which mezze we want rather than leaving the selection to the server. I'll also be trying out the lebanese pizzas. Starting at a mere $1 and constantly being made in full-view of the floor. Pro tip: Grab a bottle of hot sauce from the water/cutlery

We found a seat and were greeted immediately with menus, water and coffee orders taken. Due to how busy the cafe was, we waited a little bit until our order was taken. Perfectly acceptable while casually reading the Sunday paper. It seems to be a very popular local haunt. We ordered the special of green eggs and ham and the mushroom and Avo smash. Both were absolutely delicious, generous portion sizes and so well presented. The eggs cooked perfectly on both dishes and just the right amount of seasoning. Now we've found this gem we will definitely be back. It's a huge space with a great breakfast, brunch and lunch menu including wine, beer and cocktails!

In a way it seems to be one of those places that indicates that Reservoir is slowly but surely being bitten by the hipster bug.

Anyway, seeing it, and doubting that I would be down here again any time soo, I decided to pop in for a coffee. Well, coffee was pretty cool, but I also have to mention that Darth Vader was also standing in the middle of the room. I'm not sure what he was waiting for because he was there when I arrived, and I got my coffee before he got anything, so I'm still a little baffled. However, as a coffee spot it wasn't bad.
