Big Jon's Lunch Box

Big John’s is the perfect hometown place to eat. They are only open for breakfast and lunch during the week on Friday evenings. They are open from 5 to 7 for dinner. That is always when we go and it is awesome. Not open on Sundays.

Friendly service, food was kind of pricy though, but good and worth every penny!

The problem with this place is, they are never open, and by the time they do open, most of the breakfast hours are over. So many times I have wanted breakfast and they are clised. They don't open for breakfast until 8:00 and by then most people are at work. When they bouught the place from the old owners you could get breakfast at 5:00 in the morning and you could not find a place to sit. It takes awhile fore people to know your open, but the food and service is great, gor they are a great family to do business with. God bless.

Ordered take out, beef tips with rice, hashbrown casserole, pasta salad and a roll. Delicious as always.

Great food. Great service. Try it!!! Cheap for what you get. HOMECOOKING

Met a friend and her family for breakfast on our way through town. Good down home food and friendly service. Portions were large for the price, restaurant (including restrooms) were sparkling clean. Not disappointed at all!

Good food and pleasant waitress. A great place to eat

Best food in Mt. Carmel. Have never had a bad meal there. I would typically never order chicken strips at a restaurant, but the ones they serve here are undeniably the best chicken strips I've ever eaten 👌

Best food I've had in a long time. Friendly service and reasonable prices. I will definitely be back.

Amazing food and service! I always love going----such a great place to eat in our little town 😊 I highly encourage all who visit Mt. Carmel, IL to come and try this food! It's a home cooked meal made with love

New location, great remodel, cute decor, lots of room.... Good food, excellent priced

Big John’s is the best place to eat in Mt. Carmel. The prices, staff, and homemade desserts are all outstanding. Daily specials, fresh food, and a family atmosphere. Only open for breakfast and lunch most days, but well worth getting out for this dinning experience. Try the fairground fish or the peanut butter pie!

A variety of choices that the whole family will enjoy. The fried chicken sandwich, the catfish filets, and the burgers are the best! A super clean place with the friendliest staff.

We just happen to find Big Jon's passing through town, great food and service. We had the burger and catfish, also had pie. Hope to be back.

This is a true down-home diner with some of the best food you'll ever have outside of your grandma's kitchen. Gonna be back!

Fantastic place to sneak off for lunch with the spouse or take the kids. Great staff and best food in the area.

I had the fried chicken club sandwich with a side of cheese fries.. It was amazing!! The servers and cooks are very friendly as well.
