I live in Wellington and I shop in this Kohl's Plaza, and discovered this hidden gem. The food is fantastic. The staff is inviting and courteous. I met Shay with the most amazing smile, and it seems every time I come in there is a young lady named Kayla working upfront. She is doing a fantastic job of setting the tone for the experience. They decor, an ambience, a cozy, and I love to support small business, especially when they get it right. Huge fan of the breakfast and have not had a single item on the menu I would not highly recommend---but I will put out there , try the banana bourbon, coconut French toast with the oxtail and grits. And of course you can't go wrong with bottomless mimosas. Great thing you have going here, Mr. John. Keep up the consistency - this place is fantastic!

A must, if you're in the area! I don't have a single bad thing to say about this place. From the food to the service, everything was amazing. The red velvet waffles with honey butter tenders is such a flavorful take on the classic chicken and waffles. Also loved the breakfast potatoes and homemade biscuit. Service was so friendly from not just our server but all of the staff! I will definitely be back

Great food!!! Friendly servers who aim to please. Everything is cooked to order, so be patient.

Shout out to Big John's Eatery for being the saving grace during my trip to WPB! Atmosphere: Small bar, crowded waiting area, small dining area, good music, great energy Staff: Amazing! Special thanks to Kimora, who is probably one of the best servers I've ever interacted with. She helped me navigate the menu, had energy that matched my own, and the girl was hilarious! Food: I had the peach cobbler french toast and the chicken and waffles. Both plates served generous portions and were absolutely delicious. The french toast was drenched in sauce and somehow stayed moist without turning soggy. The chicken and waffles were consumed nearly 48 hours later when I returned to DC. Needless to say, they travel well! I didn't get a chance to try the oxtails, but I could tell they're good just by looking at them. I reccomened the oxtails too! (lol) A time was had, and if I'm ever in the area again, I'll be sure to stop by.

We had a very good lunch here on a busy Saturday afternoon. The place was packed when we got there -- during lunch hour. We'd thought maybe they wouldn't be so busy on a weekend but turns out we were wrong. There was a wait of about a half hour to 40 minutes for a table, but we were able to snag a couple open seats at the bar right away. The bar tender/server was also handling drinks and waiting on other tables. Still service was okay, considering. Everyone was very friendly. My husband ordered their breakfast bowl. He chose grits for his base. On top of this were 2 eggs (he ordered them over easy) with bacon crumbles and cheese. It was supposed to have sausage, as well, but he doesn't remember it having any. He added a touch of cholula sauce to spice it up. In any case, he liked his dish even though his eggs came out over medium, that is, not as runny as he would have liked. I got their shrimp and grits dish. On top of the creamy grits were five grilled shrimp. The shrimp were topped with a sauce that had diced tomatoes in it. On top of the sauce was grated cheese. The dish was tasty though a bit more sauce would have made it even nicer. My husband got his meal served first. He was halfway done when I finally received my food. So just expect this. The food was worth the wait even though he then had to sit watching me eat. Our neighboring seat mates were trying a bit of everything -- including enjoying their limitless mimosas which come in several flavors. They told us the passion fruit drink was the best. They'd ordered oxtail, peach French toast, and chicken and waffles -- all to share. All dishes looked quite good. I'm sure we will be back to try more of their menu. Come with patience and an appetite. If you love southern food, this is your kind of place.

Big John's Eatery is a must-try if you're ever in West Palm Beach! We were immediately greeted when we walked in and given the option to sit at a table or the bar. The restaurant isn't very large, and the dining area was a bit crowded, so we chose to sit at the bar. Our waitress brought over some menus and was very helpful in suggesting their popular dish--oxtail over grits. It was a hit! The oxtail was tender, and the grits were creamy. If I were to order it again, my only change would be to have less gravy. Other than that, it was delicious! We also ordered the chicken and waffles, which were also very tasty. The waffles could've been a bit fluffier, but maybe that's just personal preference. All in all, a great restaurant! Highly recommend.

Our server Lucy was amaxingggg! 10/10 for customer service! She was very friendly, patient and recommended good options for us first timers. I would recommend this place to anyone! The beautiful ladies are keeping this establishment afloat. Big John knew what he was doing when he hired them. I would give them an overall rating of 9/10. Simply because of the 2 flys that were trying to be our friends. I guess the food was smelling good to them. But the food was good. We had the following menu items: Red Velvet Waffle Chicken Wings (Mango Haberno & BBQ & Chill). I'm not a spicy person, but the Mango Haberno was my favorite and the blue cheese to complement It. Peach Cobbler French Toast = well tasted and well portioned Oxtail & Grits - Grits were good and the oxtail was good as well, but could have been marinated a little longer to catch the seasoning. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the West Palm Beach area. As far as the drinks, my friend and I got the "The Vibe" which is a bowl of corona beer and maragarita mix (you can choose your flavors). It was really good and the sever put a hurting on It. Please take caution when drinking this and have fun activities planned after. It is a big bowl, so don't think you can take It home with you, because the answer will be no! lol! Enjoy!

Two words: SO GOOD! We had the braised oxtail, hash brown casserole, and, the chicken and waffles. Everything was DELICIOUS. If you're in the area, it's a must try. If you're near the area, it's a must try. Seriously that good! It was a little packed crowd wise, and understandably considering it was the weekend and the food is amazing. The music was a complete vibe. Good, friendly, service. Highly recommend!
