Big John's is on my corner and brings a really great vibe to an otherwise lonesome commercial stretch. They took the place over from an incredibly sweet Asian woman who used to own it and really spruced it up. I'm glad that they kept many of the basic on-the-go breakfast favs and the low-LOW prices. You can get a bagel with cream cheese and a small coffee during the morning special for under $3. They also made the formerly desolate seating area into a pleasant and comfortable space, not to mention the great new corner mural outside.
The guys are all incredibly friendly, although sometimes service is a bit slow when they're juggling a lot of phone orders. The hot coffee looks just as ugly as it used to be under the former owner, but hey if you want coffee for a buck that's what you get. I recommend one of the breakfast croissants with bacon and egg and the iced coffee, both super tasty. They do have simple syrup, though you might have to ask for it when you order, and make sure you're clear on how you like your coffee done cuz those boys will make it SAH-WEET unless you're specific.
When I was feeling under the weather I didn't feel like leaving the house. I checked out Seamless for places that had chicken noodle soup and Big John's came up. I ordered that, and a salad.
Wow, it was great.
I was impressed how quickly it came, and the salad and toppings (goat cheese, cranberries, walnuts) were GREAT! I only wish they had later hours!
Big Johns is good – and I'll be Seamless'ing again soon
Big John's is about a block away from me on my way to the train. I will normally stop by here for a coffee and maybe a bagel. The service is always SUPER friendly and they take the time to get to know their customers, it's almost as if a San Francisco deli was dropped in the middle of west Brooklyn with the staff chained to the counter unable to leave. They're that nice. And it seems like the same staff is always here…. Maybe I've said too much.
Prices are good here, and they have some vegetarian options. One thing I would suggest if you're in a hurry though is to call ahead, I am not sure what kind of oven they're using to heat their bagels but it takes a looooooong time to get it back. Really. Such a long time. I love the place, love the people but hope they do something to fix that one minor aspect!
Perfect place to grab a quick bite for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It's like a deli and diner mixed. The breakfast sandwiches and burgers are great. Fries are spectacular. Fast delivery. Great guys that work there. Even a few tables to sit and eat while waiting for laundry.
Bagels are whatever, but they're practically the only bagels you can get in the area except Dunkin, so I'll take it. Skip the coffee, too – it's weak.
Stopped in for breakfast early one morning for the first time while waiting for the housing works store to open. I can't stand Mcdonalds anymore so I was looking for an alternative.
Looking at the menu they had lots of options to chose from. Everyone behind the counter was really helpful and friendly. I eventually order a breakfast sandwhich with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese and bacon. Service was fast and the food was delicious. The prices were also pretty good but can get costly depending on what your ordering.
If im in the area again I'd defintely return.
