"Big Jones is a Southern restaurant serving a lot of old-timey dishes that we really like. You’ll need to get the perfectly cooked fried chicken, and you should absolutely come for brunch, when they also make beignets." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor
"Big Jones is a great Southern restaurant that serves a lot of old-timey dishes (like chicken fried in pig fat). They’re good at lunch, too, and that’s the only time you can get the excellent fried chicken sandwich or the crawfish burger. Plan on not moving very fast after eating here." - adrian kane, john ringor, nick allen, veda kilaru
"Big Jones is doing a special “Little Jones” menu, with a selection of entrees like shrimp and grits, along with things like po’ boys and their housemade desserts. Curbside pickup and delivery available." - adrian kane
"Thanks to rice flour, Big Jones’ juicy fried bird is gluten-free and has an everlasting crispiness. The chicken dinner at this Andersonville spot comes with your choice of light or dark meat, or you can get a bit of both worlds by getting a half chicken, our go-to. And though this seems like a big order (it also comes with sweet potato mash topped with rice and beans), it’s surprisingly light—you can eat all that bird if you’re flying solo." - john ringor, adrian kane
"Focusing on locally-grown and sustainably-farmed ingredients, chef Paul Fehribach produces some of the finest Southern cuisine in Chicago at Big Jones. Weekend brunch staples include beignets, fried green tomatoes, shrimp and grits, and “Eggs Bayou LaFourche” — a riff on eggs Benedict featuring crawfish cakes in popovers with poached eggs and béarnaise sauce. Online ordering is available here." - Ashok Selvam
