Big Jones, Andersonville
11 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/chicagofood, r/AskChicago14 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Big Jones' breakfast appeal includes biscuits and one diner's memorable pimento Benedict. Commenters recommend the brunch food, though a sandwich customer found their order very dry and was unimpressed overall. Another diner reports excellent brunch food but slow service and would avoid it on a tight schedule. Food praise therefore comes with a genuine timing caveat, not a guarantee of a quick meal.
