waffles was spot on. A must-order!
French toast plate was nice and fluffy and delicious! AMAZING STAFF
Big John’s Eatery delivers hospitality at a level that feels almost ceremonial. From the moment I sat down, the service was attentive, intuitive, and genuinely warm—I was quite literally waited on hand and foot. A standout touch? Being invited to taste-test the grits before committing. That alone signals confidence in the kitchen and respect for the diner’s palate.
Now, about those grits. As someone who is decidedly not a cheese lover, I was pleasantly surprised. The cheese is finely grated and incorporated during the milling process, which creates a seamless, almost invisible flavor profile—no sharp bite, no heaviness, just depth and creaminess that reads as intentional rather than indulgent.
The shrimp leaned slightly toward overcooked, but remained edible and well-supported by toppings that added brightness and zest, rescuing the bite and keeping the dish balanced. The portion of grits was generous—very generous—prompting me to add a side of chicken sausage, which arrived seasoned to perfection and paired beautifully with the richness of the plate.
For drinks, I opted for the bottomless mimosas, served in a take-glass rather than the standard presentation. Worth noting: real juice isn’t used, so for someone who doesn’t typically consume alcohol above a 10% volume, the mimosas came across quite strong. Ordering a side of juice ($3.99) helped tailor the experience, but it’s an important consideration for lighter drinkers.
Final Verdict:
Big John’s Eatery excels where it matters most—service, intention, and flavor integration. With a few refinements (particularly protein cook times and beverage balance), this spot confidently earns its place as a curated brunch destination. The grits alone are reason enough to return.
It took over 35 minutes for our food to arrive. We ordered the kids’ tenders and waffle meal and the French toast combo. A table that came in 15 minutes after us received their food right away—and based on their friendly exit with the staff, it’s safe to assume they knew someone.
The food itself was disappointing:
• The waffle triangles were hard and flavorless, with ice-cold syrup.
• The tenders were served cold.
• The add-on potatoes were the only highlight—delicious.
• The French toast? Not even worth reviewing.
My wife (who is pregnant) and I try to be patient with restaurants, but between the wait, the food quality, and the hype around this place, I can’t recommend it.
The only positive—our waitress was great.
Go at your own risk.
