Southern Food Restaurant · Andersonville · 138 tips and reviews
Time Out Chicago: From that one-off Kentucky dinner (rice biscuits, pearl onion soup and mince pie) to the weekday lunch (fried chicken, greens, biscuits c. 1933), Big Jones is making history of any dining plans we had Read more.
Lisa W: If you have a day off for lunch M-F, get the fried chicken meal for the whole table. So much food! Everything is great but the biscuits are meh. House hot chocolate was a wonderful surprise as well.
Mike: Best Cajun food I've ever had. Possibly one of the best brunch spots in the city. Make sure to try the biscuits and gravy - don't sleep on the Bloody Mary either.

Joanne C.: 2 egg, sausage & grits special! Biscuits too big & kinda dry, so stick with toast.
Jade Anderson: Their biscuits taste more like sweet cornbread, so beware if you were actually looking for a biscuit. Hashbrowns were good
Kyle Hayward: Omelets are delicious, cut it up and eat it on top of a biscuit. The staff just needs a little sugar - be polite to them and they'll be polite back. If you're an asshole, you deserve their wrath.
Kelly Kniewel: This chicken comes with directions: put the honey butter ON the fried chicken (tho it's also tasty on the biscuits)
Amy Graff: What a gem from the Sunday Dinner Club. Unsure what's better -- the crispy brined chicken 'n biscuits or the incredible sides like sweet potato salad and thai green curry creamed corn. Grab a cookie!
Mary Alesandrini: 9.5 - The standard honey butter fried chicken sandwich on a biscuit, sweet tea, buffalo chicken sandwich, and the overall atmosphere/outdoor seating was out of this world.
