Since 2008, Big Jones has been serving Chicago progressive Southern cooking with gracious hospitality and a passion for local farm ingredients and the best, freshest seafood on the market. Our philosophy is simple: When you go out to eat, you are looking to be cared for and to feel seen, and we want to make you and your guests feel comforted, and like the most important party in the world.

Many folks talk about how delicious our acclaimed cooking is, and we're proud of the ingredients we use and the food we put on your plate, but our greatest success is when you feel the warm embrace of home in our dining room.

Our Midwestern location informs our cooking, and we seek to provide an honest and true picture of the South through our cooking. The South is a sweeping region from mountains to coastlines and upcountry farmland, and its population has always been diverse, and grows more diverse year by year. The South is also a rapidly progressing region of industrious people with backgrounds from all over the world. This is the South you will witness in our cooking. Modern and progressive while steeped in history and tradition, always striving, always changing, and forever known for its hospitality.

Reservations welcomed but not required, we love walk ins! Whether you are looking for brunch, lunch, dinner, a breezy happy hour, the best house-ground burger in town or a special dining experience, Big Jones delivers.
