The bbq sauce is some of the best I've had. I agree that brunch is where this place really shines but I don't think the dinner is bad at all. As for service, I've never had a problem. Maybe once but that's going to happen. As long as someone doesn't call me and "asshole" and stick their finger in my food, I'm pretty easy going with how the staff is. One of my favorite places for brunch, hands down. Oh, and as far as the criticism about the place being too clean, if that bothers your Darwensi, I know of a Perkins I can take you to thats a real shithole.

Another thing that this review didn't address is the brunch menu, and imo where Big Jones stands out. All I'm sayin is that they got some pulled pork benedict like thing that I've heard good things about. I went the day after a white castle binge, so I had to get the oatmeal to be cool with my internals. Oatmeal - 10/10 . . (I can't believe im writing about oatmeal) Pulled Pork Abomination - ? / 10 Word on the street its a 9 or higher . .but I'm going to find out for myself. It's my destiny!) Paul:

Responding to feedback from our guests, the Brunswick Stew was phased off the menu (we can't fight people's expectations on that one, though we tried, foolishly) two weeks ago, and the etouffee is being phased out this week. Try the Summer Vegetable Creole. As with any new restaurant, we hear feedback on service and availability of condiments such as honey, and will improve our service steadily. To the moron who made the comment about the carrots, get your facts straight. I haven't been at Schubas in over a year, and the recipe (to which you are welcome) that I used while there has no carrots. I'd sign an affidavit on my life for that. I can't speak for anything a successor has done. We have never offered red beans and rice at Big Jones. Your comment is a cheap and stupid slam. You moron. Thanks to everyone who HAS visited Big Jones and offers feedback and suggestions that help us become a better restaurant. We look forward to serving you for years to come.
