Great Jones has upgraded their brunch menu since my last visit. Not the contents which need not to be touched, but the physical menu, which now features Andouille Man much more prominently. DMR and I hit up the Jones for some Memorial Day Weekend brunch before heading over to the Sunshine to catch Once (a word of advice, if you have the chance to do the same, DON'T).

Great Jones Cafe Burgers Chilli Southern Cajun Soul Food
Just at the corner of Bowery and Great Jones Street is Great Jones Cafe. If you can’t spot it by the bright orangish colored painted wall outside, just follow your nose to the wafts of juicy grilled hamburgers from the stove tops. Great Jones cafe is a popular brunch joint, lunch and a bar. On the menu is a wide selection of Southern Cajun specialties like seafood jambalaya, gumbo, friend shrimp po-boys, and creole wings but for me the writing is on the wall - it’s the burgers and fries. If you are craving a large juicy burger that will fill you up, definitely head over the Great Jones cafe. The great tasting food by far compensates for the lack of service - reminds me of Top Dog in Berkeley. haha. That day we ordered a burger with a side of sweet potato fries.
