Mr. Jones takes diner food up a sophisticated notch

Trixie Zabal | Published: 19th of November, 2009

standeenewEveryone loves a go-to place that churns out comfort food like burgers, omelettes and classic pancakes to perfection. Mr. Jones, the newly-opened restaurant in Greenbelt 5, is inspired by the 1960's contemporary diner and takes comfort food a notch higher by mixing diner staples with house specialties. Up-market but unpretentious, Mr. Jones is a place where you can take your parents out to eat or � lounge around with your friends.

Raintree Restaurants' Martin and Andrej Wisniewski with chef Kalel Chan, the same group behind Chelsea, M Café, and MoMo, filled the menu with easy American favorites like � Inch Thick Double-Smoked Bacon and Eggs (P450) and Homemade Char-Grilled "Superman" Burger (P420) and mixed in dishes that border on "gourmet diner food" such as Melted "Old Bay" Crab & Dory Thermidor (P350). Breakfast meals are available all day while the health-conscious have salad and seafood choices. Desserts are also on the menu for those jonesing for a sugar fix.

Notable menu stand-outs include the Challah French Toast (P295), a tower of thick-sliced Challah bread, stuffed with nutella and raspberry preserves, caramelized bananas and served with bacon and orange slices; and the Garlic Portobello Steak � and Eggs (P450), griddled beef tenderloin served with three eggs cooked any style, roasted rosemary breakfast potatoes topped with garlic-roasted Portobello mushrooms.

Old-fashioned milkshakes, flavored iced teas, bottled "Pop," classic cocktails and a good selection of gourmet brews like Flying Dog, Beck's, Rogue and Stella Artois join the beverage list. Expat Americans have been pleasantly surprised to find out they serve egg creams.

I've been to Mr. Jones, and it's true what the article says- it takes you back in time to pink poodle skirts and soda floats. They even have a mini jukebox that plays Elvis songs, among others. It's a fun place that serves yummy, fun food; just like its sister restaurants Chelsea, Momo and M Cafe. I can't wait to be back!

Mr. Jones is my favorite new restaurant. Try: The French Toast The Crab and Dory with Hollandaise Shrimp Scampi The Coconut Cream Pie! I've been twice so far, and I'll be back again this weekend!

Wow! Sounds like my kind of place. Love the interiors--so vintage-modern!

There is nothing like this in the Philippines. Finally ALL DAY Breakfast that is worth every cent!! Heuvos Rancheros with Pita French Toast to drooooooooooooooool over I particulary enjoyed the BURGER! 2 patties !! Make sure to bring friends its definitely a sharing MENU! BEST MILKSHAKES IN TOWN!

oh my lord i think i just wet my pants. that challah french toast looks overly sinful

Another great creation!

bad service. pot roast was cold, steak and eggs took forever to prepare.

i loveeeee Mr Jones :) their tapa is to-die-for :) http://www.frannywanny.com/2010/03/dear-mr-jones.html

I haven't tried this place.. and reading here that they use Dory fish, I probably never will... How can a place be upscale when they use a cheap fish?

Ate there 3x. Food I would rate 5 out of 10 in one word average. Got the burger, chilis beats them, fish and chips too bland, fish company was better. Tapa was good....for the first 8 bites then it got to be SUYA. Plsce is nice reminds me of the old DC Cafe. Not a fan of milkshakes so I cant comment on that.
