Review: From their website, "The Jones is a local and independently owned community restaurant commited to providing sustainable, local, and organic food. Oh and it's really yummy."

I couldn't have put it better myself, although, I would have spelled "committed" correctly. I've repeatedly touted the quality of the Jones in various forms over the years. They have top notch breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. Few restaurants have multiple items on the menu that I'd be more than happy to eat at any given point in time, but the Jones has plenty. They can hardly do wrong.

Nearly everything on the menu is great. The vegetarian sausage and biscuits is a vegetarian's dream come true as you hardly notice that you're not eating a gooping pile of real sausage gravy. The veg out is as healthy as you can get for lunch with Lettuce, spinach, tomato, red onion, grated carrots, avocado, sprouts, & pesto veganaise served with provolone cheese on tomato-basil bread. Delicious! The stop light panini's menu entry begs the question: What do you get when you spread goat cheese on a wheat baguette and add roasted red peppers, spinach and squash? You get a bitchin sandwich.

Their menu is constantly evolving and the daily specials are superb. You can hardly go wrong with the daily fish special, always prepared in a new and interesting way. This is easily my favorite restaurant in town.

Bottom line: Go to The Jones today!
