from Google"Southern cooking at it's finest ... This place really surprised me as I didn't expect it to be as delicious as it was. Although you'll get the classic Southern dishes it's prepared and delivered in a classy detail setting. This isn't like your mom's Southern cooking this literally is a fancy preparation and style. The fried green tomatoes were some of the best I have ever eaten. Lightly battered and season then fried to perfection. It was not over cooked and the tomatoes were just enough to cut with a fork yet melt in your mouth. The texture was amazingly delicious! I indulge off the appetizers with getting crab cakes. This was a treat and wish that for the cost of the cakes they were a little bigger. Don't get me wrong there was nothing wrong with the crab cakes instead they were so yummy that I felt it was more of a tease to my mouth because they were a bit small. Yet I feel recommend getting them to taste the zest that comes from every bite. Real crab and no fish after taste .. Yum! After having 2 bottles of there Chardonnay, eating a bowl is shrimp and grits I was satisfied that this was my dinner spot. The folks next to my table has ordered the cat fish ... Their plates looked so gorgeous with this beautiful crusted filet that I wanted to ask to take a picture to remind me to get that next time lol Can be pricey since plates are smaller than worth paying and I recommend goggling pictures of their dishes before going in and ordering. Because if your hungry I can guarantee you that you'll be adding side dishes to fill you stomach."
"I will never stop coming here. I truly appreciate how amazing this place is. The staff make it a 100% great experience. The food is ALWAYS on point. I've tried the chicken, cat fish and grits, cheese puffs, biscuits and gravy, chicken fried steak, sweet potato puree, the greens.. the mimosas and some of their cocktails. I've got 3 bottles of their jamacian jerk hot sauce. My only compliant is there's no carry out for brunch. Outside of that, Ill always be back lol."
"Wow! Please come here and be so happy. And Why did i wait so long to come here!! I’m a vegetation, love that I had options of great southern food! The hush puppies and okra were the perfect and could not possibly taste better. The mushroom entree and pork entree had us in wows! And the spice cake and bread pudding to finish off were unbelievable… on top of that the service was exquisite. Our waiter was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly but not too friendly (haha). Satahand ( not sure about spelling) was our waiter, if you get the chance sit in his section. Everyone was welcoming and incredibly kind. It was the most perfect birthday dinner I could ask for. Thank you to all the staff, it takes all of you to be this good! Drinks were incredible!! Bartender knows what he is doing!"
"Several people have recommended Big Jones over the years since they do a wonderful job providing gluten free options. We did the Restaurant Week menu and I truly hope the kitchen just had an awful off day. The charred cauliflower was raw (one could barely cut it), the fried chicken was beyond dry but the worst dish was my Moms Shrimp & Grits. I don’t know how I should nicely put this but it was not edible. It was gray slob over undercooked grits that was missing seasonings. Not what either of us had in mind when we think of Shrimp & Grits. We could tell the server was overwhelmed working lunch on their own."
"Great food and warm service. We went for lunch and it was wonderful. Every dish was flavorful and delicious. The fried okra was crispy with touch of Asian flavor. And the gumbo was packed with spices. Will go back whenever I’m in town again for sure."
