some good, some so so
While I find most entrees are quite generous the roasted chicken, crab cakes and filet mignon are quite stingy. The soups they claim are home made, so I was told, but all are just too salty to enjoy. Their salads are very very good and generous. I find the atmosphere much too noisy. I've been very very pleased with the service of the waiters and waitresses. All in all for the most part good food, highly priced and if you have high blood pressure, steer clear of all soups there.

I'm Jonesing for more...
I am surprised at some of the negative reviews on Jones. We have eaten here often and are never disappointed. The menu is varied, the specials are fantastic and the service is always tops. On a recent visit we has the fired green tomatoes special which was awesome. Lots of variety and plenty to satisfy even the pickiest eaters. The only complaint I have is the beer could be colder. I recently had a Yards Brawler which was almost warm. I suspect that the popularity of the place may cause the beer coolers to empty rapidly.

Have always had a good time here
I've been with friends and had dates here. I've always enjoyed myself. The servers I've had all seemed to like working there. They've given thought to the food and the menu. The atmosphere is groovy! The bar scene is pretty cool is just a bit cramped! Not sure I would call the entire menu 70's retro food, but it's always good. Running debate for me is: whether the restaurant was designed after hte Brady Bunch house or (as rumour has it) the house from the Dick Van Dyke Show. Your call!

rip off
Have gotten take out from Jones in the past. Decent comfort food and good portion size, but really nothing which can not be made better at home, but it works well after a long day at the office. Recently, I noticed the prices increased dramatically, especially for a comfort menu including fried chicken and grilled cheese with tomato soup. I ordered a new item on their menu described as a half of organic roasted chicken with mashed potatoes and spinach. I was shocked when I opened the delivery from Dining in to find a tiny wing drum stick attached to a small boned chicken breast atop a pound of potatoes with a few GREEN BEANS. What happened to my spinach? I called the Dining in delivery service to explain the difference in the menu description and what I had received at a cost of $19.00. We are very good customers and they credited our account for the cost of the meal and said they would contact Jones with my concern and suggest they change their menu description. About twenty minutes later they called me back to say that Jones was sticking with their description and that is what they consider a half of organic chicken – this thing was not even the size of a Poussin. Doesn’t a half a chicken have a leg and thigh – are their chicken grown without limbs? Thank you Dining in for quality customer service and shame on you Jones for ripping off customers. Apparently, you are not hurting too badly in these economic times if you can afford to loose a few- you are out of the Blackberry and your Dining in page along with Mr. Starr’s other restaurants have been removed. You have seen the end of our hard earned money. In a restaurant city like Philly – there are so many other better options.

retro comfort food
Not kid friendly, no kiddies menu. Fried chicken a little salty. Portions large. I liked the brisket sandwich the best. No refills on the iced tea - you're charged. Decent but not great.

Best Brunch in Town!
Since moving here 9 months ago Jones has become a favorite for Sat./Sun. Brunch after sampling many other places. Try the Decadent Hot Chocolate, Monkey Bread and French Toast! Out of this world and consisitent with every visit. The atmosphere is great, especially near fireplace in colder months, or upstairs where our children like to sit. Service is admittedly hit or miss, but doesn't stop us from visiting at least 2-3 times a month. It's pricey! It can be deceiving because it doesn't appear to be too pricey on the menu, but adds up quickly. I'm always a little shocked, but keep coming back. My husband loves their "Proud Mary" and he is a bloody mary "snob". Prefer brunch over lunch or dinner, but if going for dinner then the Market Salad is a must, enough to feed 3-4, or 2 VERY hungry people. The Mac -n- Cheese is to die for!
