Ed LevineMarch 24, 2014Can't go wrong here, no matter what you order, but I recommend making reservations.
The excellent family-style dinner (nightly from 5-9) has to be one of the best deals in town. Only $25/person!

If you do nothing else, order the red velvet cake. It is phenomenal. Big thanks to Big Jones for one of the best birthday dinners I have ever had!
If you love brown liquor - join the Bourbon Society. Try all 46 whiskeys!
Katherine MeyerJuly 13, 2013I found their collard greens to be very bitter - would recommend you avoid those. The corn bread is delicious though.- You won't be disappointed with the corn griddle cakes. Amazingly good!
Richie DiesterheftApril 17, 2010Great Creole food. Brunch is amazing. No need to purchase an appetizer. You're given complimentary powdered sugar beignets that are FAB-U-LOUS!
No longer on the menu, ask them to make you an "Elk's Own." Not-overly-sweet cocktail starts dinner off right and is a Big Jones classic.
memorable dinner moments: heavenly pork belly & johnny cake appetizer; super-gingery 'dark and stormy' rum drink. entire menu was 'light southern' - for example, fried okra had a lightly battered touc
Ginger sweet tea. Fish n grits. Eggs New Orleans. Complimentary beignets. This place is a gem among gems on Clark.

The gnocchi appetizer was SOOO good. I would totally have a meal-sized portion of it if they had that on the menu!
Karen WeaverJuly 11, 2010Brunch menu is fabulous! I agree no need to order appetizers because the beignets are delish... Enjoy a mimosa as well
AimeeMay 13, 2016The food was ok. I ordered the benedict (on a biscuit instead of a popover) and was the only person happy with my food.

"Get there early if you plan on having a table. This cozy martini bar gets crowded quickly but the delicious and strong martinis are worth it. During warmer months the patio is charming and adds room."
