Rip Off Report

by SteamboatRose at Citysearch

This place is good or bad, depending on the day and when you're paying top dollar for comfy food it needs to be a good, every time. I've read some comments below about how delicious the mac & cheese is. Well, I don't think it's that great. If you're going to pay $8 for a cup (cooked-- no kidding, I measured it) of mac & cheese it better be the best mac & cheese ever. On a scale of 1 - 10, this one's a 5.

The creamed spinach-- $6 side (1 cup worth) SALTY!! How does salty creamed spinach get past the kitchen?? You would think the chef/cook would taste their recipe once in awhile. Did they use a recipe or did they just wing it??

Cobb Salad-- AWESOME- this is good and I think its a fair price. No complaints, it's actually difficult to finish and I've had it enough times to know its pretty consistent.

Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup-- DELISH I'm a huge fan. This is another goodie.

Bottom Line-- there's no consistency. Everything on the menu looks good but when you get small portions and know what the small portions cost, you kinda lose your appetite.

• Pros: Sometimes you can get a good meal there
• Cons: More then 1/2 the time, you don't get a good meal and $$$$

Excellent food!

by DaveR52 at Citysearch

We were in Philadelphia sight seeing for the day, and had a recommendation from some of my daughter's friends to be sure to eat supper at Jones. We got there at about 3:30 PM, and were told they wouldn't be serving supper until 5:00, but the bar was open and we were welcome to sit and have a drink while we waited. It was hot out, so we decided to have a few drinks and stay in the cool while we waited for supper time to arrive.

The bar staff was friendly, the drinks were refreshing and good, and the time passed easily. The hostess asked if we were ready to be seated at 5:00, and took us to our seats. Our waitress was very friendly, and very efficient. Among our group, we ordered the meatloaf, crabcake dinner, the pistachio tilapia, and the chicken and waffles. Everyone thought their meal was excellent. I would be proud to recommend this restaurant to my friends and family (I already have!)

• Pros: Comfort food with a twist
• Cons: No service between shifts

Another falling starr for steven

Well break out the box wine...this food made me hurl especially with the prices. I'm sick of cities try to mimick the greatest city of all time...new york of course. The food is as trite and hackneyed as the food. Meatloaf great shoot me. Come on..mac and cheese 3 diff. cheeses i mean do something different. The staff resembles something outta of red hook except the hook is there is no hook the people wear the same shirts the food is bland and tastes prepackaged...nothing is fresh. Steven Starr stick to music bro.

• Pros: good music
• Cons: everything.
