Sweet! I definitely need to check out Great Jones Cafe soon. Sheep Station (4th Av & Douglass in Brooklyn) has a nice Aussie burger. I haven't had it in a while, need to revisit. I think they have a decent happy hour as well and possibly a burger & beer special one night a week. And poutine! $3 pints of Captain Lawrence or Sixpoint and bluegrass on the juke? Sweet!

I could understand the no bean policy, it would force the chili to be heartier. What are the ribs like at Great Jones? Dry? Saucy? Beef? Pork? Bill,

I thought that the burger itself was cooked perfectly as I asked for it to be medium rare (although they may have mixed up medium rare with rare).. either way definitely get it one of those. The cheddar cheese and soft yet sturdy bun was a delicious combination with the juicy meat. I do agree it probably would have been even better if it was charbroiled. I was disappointed that it was not really spicy at all and they didn't add as much chili to it as I would have hoped. The regular hand cut fries were awesome. They were seasoned just right and crispy. The Creole wings were cooked with a very interesting and tasty sauce. They were definitely too small but extremely flavorful. The sauce was a great combination of being quite spicy with a hint of a sweet zestiness. I liked that the bottom of the plate was filled with tons of sauce since there is nothing worse than dry wings. I would definitely go back and eat there and sit and have a beer as the atmosphere is cozy and warm. The brunch menu looks really good too. Lots of eggs mexican style with tortillas, sour cream, salsa.. that kind of thing. Oh THE HEART STOPPER at the Great Jones Cafe… what a burger, what a burger!
