    Just like everyone else, the chicken and waffles is the best. I can't get enough of them. Especially with an egg on top. Absolutely fantastic comfort food. I just have to say it again: the best chicken and waffles I've had in Salt Lake. I've also had the B&B scrambler and the biscuits and gravy. They were both really good, but I keep coming back for the chicken & waffles. As far as their jams go I much prefer the strawberry coconut. It's pretty tasty on their rye toast. And our server Jake is fantastic. We request him every time we come and he's working. He's just absolutely fantastic. Jake + Pig's chicken and waffles = best dining experience in SLC.

    Stopped in for brunch and ordered an Orange Sunrise (pbr,oj,grenadine)and Kitchen Sink (eggscramble and potatoes) everything was so tasty, service was nice and the bill being so low was a pleasant surprise. I plan to go back.

    This place is awesome! We came based on the yelp reviews and we were not disappointed! My husband is from South Louisiana and is very picky when a place claims Cajun but he cannot stop talking about this place. We are looking forward to coming back!

    What a deal when you get the free toast & jam plus $5 for $10 offers! The sourdough came out toasted and spread with a little butter which balanced well with the strawberry coconut & blueberry lavender (my fav!) Jams. Split the chicken biscuits plate with my friend (portion was plenty) & we both enjoyed the fried chicken. The biscuit crumbled top easily for my liking but otherwise, pretty tasty. Plus, bonus that Jake, our server, was a sweetheart :)

    My second time here! Came in for pre-work breakfast along with a work colleague. Thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and the menu items. Had the chicken and biscuits! Coffee was fresh, and the OJ was amazing.... Tasted similar to the old Orange Julius drinks you'd get in the food court at the mall years ago! Place was packed and sat at a window bar seat. Wish I could have had a PBR-tini but being Utah, couldn't consume alcohol at an establishment before 11:30 AM! Only issue was that it took about ten minutes to get the check and I ended up being several minutes late to work as a result.

    I wanted to love it, but I cant. I live nearby and loved the idea of walking here for breakfast, but I've always been underwhelmed wirh the food. Service is always great however. It's a very noisy small space. Their signature hash browns are greasy & tasteless. I've been served dirty cups for tea. Overall the food is ok, but nothing worth coming back for. Other people seem to love it, so try it out and see if you like it. I don't.

    One of the very good breakfast and brunch place to go to when your craving both. Fast service along with nice servers and nice people all around.

    This place is cozy (small) and busy. What a wonderful brunch! I'd never had chicken and waffles before- mainly because i'm one of those weirdos that cant hang with bone in or dark meAt chicken. For my final meal before my january new years resolution diet took place, i met a friend here (yes, I'm late on this review). I was ecstatic to find the chicken boneless breast. I ordered chicken and waffles, slathered it with frank's and maple syrup, and ate every single bite. It was heaven!! I still draw on that experience as my diet stays in full swing, and I don't regret a bite!

  • Nick S.

    Went there after the expansion was built. Horrible service! Yes they were busy, but once we got seated we weren't acknowledged by a server for 15 minutes. He didn't check on us one time after we got our food until I had to call for him across the restaurant for more water and our check. My waffle was cold, the potatoes were gross, and they over-season everything! Will never go here again.

    Waited 50 minutes for food, when it arrived it was cold. Worst breakfast experience I ever had.

  • Maria E.

    The food and atmosphere was awesome! I loved the music that played during our whole visit. I had the pig breakfast & my boyfriend got the chicken & waffles. Both were AMAZING! A big letdown was the service unfortunately. We waited almost 30 minutes to receive our food, and our server didn't stop to check in on us once; not to refill our waters or to let us know the status of our food. We were probably just unlucky and got a unsatisfactory server. Like I mentioned the food was great, and I only wish the serving sizes were larger in that respect! I probably will eat here again, just not for a while.

    Wow! So finally made it up to slc to try this place and I must say it exceeded my expectations. Fresh fare with lots of flavor, winning combinations. Thanks!

    Bacon was BADLY burnt. The eggs were good. The potatoes were okay. This place is average and full of itself with its ridiculous jelly flavors. Park cafe is still the best.

    This place is delicious!! And the staff is awesome. They make sure our mimosas are always topped off (; I would recommend the Mexican egg scramble or the chicken and waffles with a fried egg on top!

  • Ben A.

    Still decent food, slow inattentive service has not improved since i tried it a year ago. Too bad fun place otherwise. If you have two hours and like to be left alone might be a good option.

    This place is great. I highly recommend the chicken and waffles...as does everyone else on Yelp!

    I never would have tried this place being a vegetarian and all but I went with my boyfriend and we really enjoyed our meals! They have a few vegetarian friendly options. To all of my fellow "rabbit food people" don't be put off by the name! Step inside. I tried the veggie burger and it was good. The fries were homemade! Bonus points to Pig and a Jelly Jar

  • Natalie T.

    Dude. Their chicken 'n waffles is a game-changer. Their Ham Hash is always spot on, too. Amazing. Also, their homemade jams are out of control. Strawberry-coconut? Yes, please! This is an awesome spot for weekend brunch, and their PBR bloody mary's and mimosas are pretty stellar, too. Two thumbs way up!

  • Kimberly S.

    Pig & A Jelly Jar is a solid place to nab some breakfast. It's been gaining in popularity over the past few years, so if you show up after 10 am, expect to wait a while. The wait is really my biggest complaint. I love the ham hash and find it to be de-lish. My husband can't get enough of the chicken and waffles, which is the popular dish here. We have gone several times, and we certainly will be back.

    This is a must experience if you are in the area. I try to go anytime I am in SLC!

    The chicken waffle was delicious, but the place was too packed so we had to wait for 20 minutes. The service was so-so.

  • Elizabeth M.

    Underwhelming after reading reviews and talking to friends. The patio was covered in flies, which isn't the restaurant's fault but something to consider if you are wearing shorts and sandals in the summer in Utah. The flies made the meal almost unbearable as they were covering our feet and food. We got the pork belly BLT and the chicken waffles which were dry and not that amazing. While our waiter was excellent, we witnessed other waiters being slow, apathetic and generally uninterested in good customer service. Perhaps focusing too hard on being trendy and cool.

    My hubby and I walked to PAAJJ this morning for breakfast after much anticipation and excitement for a new breakfast place near our house. I was a bit disappointed, but my man loved it. The place was bright, clean, and still had the new car smell. The walls are a light blue and I kinda felt like I was in a baby boys nursery, weird I know. So we were told to sit where we wish, and I chose a table for two against the wall, with my side being the booth side. It was kinda awkward since the booth was a bit higher than the table, so I was hunched over most the time to eat. I ordered the "waffle pick-n-fix" with cinnamon cream topping and fresh fruit, and the hubbs got the chicken apricot rosemary sausage grinder with fries. It came to the table in a decent amount of time, and it looked good presentation wise. My waffle had some cinnamon cream on it I guess, it seemed minimal and I couldn't really taste it. The fresh fruit was one strawberry cut into fours, and two small slices of pineapple. It just looked lonely on the plate. Though my husbands plate looked nice, the fries looked like they were house made as did the sausage. My waffle was crisp on the outside and cutting into it was a delight to my senses, but dang it when I bit into it, it was so doughy it was hard to swallow. I ate 1/4 of it to try and give it a fair shot, but ended up giving it to my husband, and he gave me the other half of his slider. The slider was really tasty, I love caramelized onions and the brie was a nice mild addition. The casing on the sausage was a little tough but other than that it was really good. After the first 5 mins of the plate being on the table the fries were pretty soggy and gross so most of them didn't get eaten. Our waitress was meh. She was kinda disorganized and blah. So nothing great to say there. I left feeling defeated, I really wanted a nice breakfast and I ended up eating an ok lunch. We will go back so I can give it another shot, I'm hoping the second visit will be more favorable cause I was really wanting it to be good. Until then, Park Cafe is my haven.

    Ham hash was good-1/2 order is plenty. Pulled pork sandwich was good also. Baked beans were way under seasoned. Service started out slow but got better. Strawberry shortcake in a small jar was good but a little hard to eat.

  • Flavio F.

    Service was good. Food not so good. Fried chicken was great but the waffles was sogy and cold.

  • Ken L.

    It's simple - Chicken and Waffles, add an over-easy-egg on top - and you'll clean up your plate and walk away a happy man (or woman). :) Five stars all around. My advise - get there early. We arrived at 9:30 am on a Saturday. We were able to select our table and sit down, but shortly after (and by 10:00 am), the place was packed with people waiting outside. If you have a baby like we did, it's nice to be able to pick your favorite spot inside. By the way, the service was fantastic too, and food was served quickly.

    Went for Sunday night dinner and had the blue plate special ( Jambalaya) loved it. The homemade Italian sausage was great. JB who waited on me was fantastic and kept me informed of their other up coming specials.

    So...Pig and A Jelly Jar just opened and these are my initial impressions after having breakfast. The restaurant is owned by the owners of Meditrina (never been). It is located a couple blocks Liberty Park in a cozy corner lot. Seating comprises of tables, half booths, and bar seating around the windows and at a bar. It appears to be primarily a breakfast joint with some lunch items till 3:30 7 days a week. On Sunday, Pig and A Jelly Jar serves dinner with a 3 course family style meal, which seems interesting. On to the important stuff...the food! I told my server that I was thinking about the chicken and waffles and if there was anything else I should consider. She recommended the frittatas, but said I should definitely go with the chicken and waffles. I went all in. Side dishes like hash browns did not come with the meal, but do not worry. The portion is more than enough as you can see in the picture. The chicken was juicy, extra crispy, and very large. The waffle was fluffy and fairly standard. I think they add just the right amount of syrup, but next time I think I will get it on the side (master of your domain...correct). As with any chicken and waffle dish, plenty of the standard hot sauces are available. As a whole, I really enjoyed the chicken and waffles compared to other places in the Salt Lake City area. The chicken is not on the bone which I wish was an option and it might be, but I didn't ask. I noticed they do not have omelets, which I wish was an option. The coffee comes from the Salt Lake Roasting Company and is endless which is always a plus :) Unfortunately, they do not serve mimosas or blood marys, but we are in Utah and those liquor licenses are hard to come by :( The servers were welcoming and very nice. The bathrooms are clean. There is plenty of parking on the streets, but I didn't see a parking lot other than the three spots in the front. Wifi is not currently available. I liked the laid back atmosphere of the restaurant and could picture myself coming here for brunch on a Saturday or Sunday after some time at Liberty Park. I will be back to try other dishes such as the ham hash and the homemade sausage is on my list of items to try in the future. Their lunch items consist of sandwiches and grinders. Pig and A Jelly Jar has been added to the many options of breakfast and brunch places in SLC that I will recommend. So swing by and grab some coffee and breakfast.

    Went here for breakfast on a Saturday and it was very good. I had the chicken and waffle, and my fiance had the b&b frittata (bacon, bleu cheese, apple, walnut). The chicken was so moist inside with a perfectly crunchy outside. The waffle was perfectly done too- crunchy and crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The frittata was very nice and fluffy, with a nice blend of flavors and good presentation. The food service was a little slow and the frittata's side of cottage fries didn't show up til the end, but I think that was just because lots of people showed up at once. The restaurant is really cute, if every table was full it might feel a little crowded though. I will definitely be back!

  • Jennifer B.

    Great concept, amazing food, and fun vibe. This is a spot for a casual breakfast or lunch. I had the pork belly BLT (you had me at pork belly) and the roasted red pepper soup, let's just say my tummy is very happy and my taste buds are singing!!! So the concept here, breakfast and lunch daily and Sunday dinner. Cool. Staples are Pork dishes, Chicken and Waffles, beer, beer cocktails, flavored mimosas, and home made jelly! The jelly flavors change regularly and you can buy 8oz jars!!! Even more cool. My waitress said they are busiest on the weekend which makes sense. However there's not usually more than a 30 min wait which is surprising because it's pretty cozy inside. Definitely recommend.

    Love the chicken and waffles! This place needs to consider expanding hours.

  • Chris L.

    I love the big communal table in the middle, felt like we're having a big family country meal. This place was great in accommodating our large party and was really nice about random couple of people showing up late and having to add chairs. Great vibe. Now to the important part....BEST CHICKEN AND WAFFLE I've ever had. Amazing. The chicken was so juicy and crispy with just the right amount of saltiness. The boneless chicken complimented the waffle really well. The sweet and savory flavor of the chicken and waffle was heaven in my mouth. If you live in SLC please go here and try this. If you don't live here please fly or drive there and try this. Everyone in our table love it as well.

    Great little breakfast place. I've been here about 4 times now and try something different every time. The frittata's are awesome. Straight out of the skittle just chock-full of breakfast goodness. If you're looking to get a good chicken and waffles fix, this is a good place to hit up. Best I've had in Utah, so far. Service has always been outrageously friendly. Honestly, whenever my friends from out of town want to go eat somewhere for lunch, I take them here or suggest it. It has never disappointed.

  • Liz L.

    The menu looked great and there wasn't much of a wait for sunday brunch. However, after we ordered it took a very long time for the food to come out, a long time to get the check, and a long time for them to give our cards back. I got the pig breakfast with eggs bacon and potatoes and my friends ordered egg dishes as well. We all thought the eggs were very oily and the bacon was very fatty with hardly any meat. I was excited that they served Charming Beard coffee because normally it is the best coffee in salt lake, but they must have somehow managed to brew it wrong or it was old, I have no idea, but it was not good. We probably wont go back.

    I don't usually start my reviews with a summation, but in this case, for the sake of clarity, I will: one step short of a disaster. It's hard for me to decide where to start with, so I'll begin with some things that won't affect the actual rating. Parking here is a nightmare. If the Tea Grotto is open and you don't get there right away, you will have to wind up with a grace window to get close parking at all. The servers are generally nice, but barely average. Our best service came from a guy who wasn't our server at all, but was on loan or something from The Park Cafe, a place that incidentally has worlds better service and food. This place is also very small, fills up fast and there is nowhere inside to wait. That aside, the place is always packed (mostly, from what we experienced, due to ineptness). Our service started as reasonable for the appetizer, despite us having to re-order stuff repeatedly to get it at all, then went to slow, then went to excessively slow, then to unreasonably slow, then nearly to the point where I was considering walking. Given that I really wanted to try this vaunted chicken & waffle thing, I didn't, but we were there well over an hour (always fun to watch other people who walk in after you get served sooner), most of which we did not only not have our food but didn't have food of any kind and that sorely taxed my three year old's patience. Do not bring children there unless you're masochistic (or possibly sadistic alternately, I guess). There is not a children's menu and the obvious angling is towards the hipster set. The menu, however, is not especially, but is intended to be some sort of Southern angle. This means stuff like fried pickles (don't bother, though the breading and ranch were both good) and the aforementioned chicken and waffles. Evidently, I either need to start eating from the plates of these high raters or develop a more tolerant set of taste buds, but the waffle was bland, the syrup also bland and the chicken itself, though mostly well cooked, also not very good. This was overall extremely substandard and not helped at all that it was served cold, so cold, in fact, that the butter had melted and re-formed in a couple of the waffles squares before I got it. My wife got the worst end. Her entree (forget which - some sort of breakfast sandwich) was also held too long and arrived cold, her tomato jelly was tasteless and sogged up the part of the bun it touched and the other side was entirely burnt. It seriously looked like charcoal. The bacon, however, was undercooked. Lovely. This sort of points up the biggest problem with this place, which is execution. Drainage of the fried items was minimal, if at all. We got a side of fries for our son, but by that time, he had no interest in eating anything, let alone fries again completely slick with un-drained grease. By far the best thing I had was the green tea, which was from the Tea Grotto next door. All in all, for $50, we had a total of 1 fairly well-prepared and edible egg, which I got on my side of also not very good cottage fries, a pot of green tea, a couple diet Cokes, some fries that would have been pretty good, if drained properly and the rest was nearly entirely inedible. Both myself and wife currently have gutaches as I write this, not a good sign of things to come. Never again.

    I tried this place once before and it was okay - distinctive, although the service was slow. I like to support independent businesses so I went back today and took my daughter. I'm sorry to say that today's visit was pretty disastrous as restaurant visits go. We got there and I ordered decaf (health issue), and was told they don't have any. So I ordered regular coffee, figuring I'd have just one cup... and it arrived lukewarm. The server got me another cup, but I had used the last of the sugar on lukewarm cup. The holder was now empty and no one noticed, so I had to get up to get some from another table, at which point she apologized, and brought more. The food arrived and it was okay, but about halfway through, I found a hair cooked into the potatoes. I lost my appetite after that. I told the server about the hair and she apologized, went away for a while, then returned and told me that they would take half off my meal for the hair: $3.51. ??? I wasn't in the mood to argue, but...really? The hair begs the question, how many other hairs had I already ingested? I would think that a reputable place would certainly be mortified enough to offer my meal for free, and maybe my daughter's as well, especially after the cumulative effect of the botches. I noticed today that one of their slogans is "white trash chic." Disregarding the certainly unintentional, but nevertheless somewhat racist overtones (have you ever thought about the implication of having to specify the distinction of "white" when referring to people as "trash?"), this visit left me thinking that there ain't nothin' chic about it. Sorry, not going back.

    This place is shooting for southern comfort food well-done. For the most part, they hit the mark. Interesting jam flavors (strawberry and coconut), housemade sausage, and fresh-squeezed orange juice were the first signs that this place pays attention to details. The chicken and waffles came recommended as the most popular dish so far. It didn't disappoint. The chicken was moist and delicious. We also had the mexican frittata, which was served in an iron skillet, and very good. Service is a little on the slow side, which was attributed to unexpected popularity of the chicken and waffles. Fair enough for a place that just opened a week ago. I'll definitely be back here.

    Because who doesn't love beignets... puff pastry, powdered sugar, blueberry lavendar jam. Plus it has a catchy name and a cute pig logo. Chicken and waffles are always great there!

    After six or so visits to Pig & Jelly Jar I'm ready to weigh in with my experience. This is a fantastic local joint that if not for a single experience would earn the full five stars from me. Just west of Liberty Park on 900 S., P&JJ is a small local eatery best known for their breakfast (though they serve lunch and dinner as well). After an unfortunate kitchen fire early this year they've reopened and save for some changes in the decor, still serve funky takes on classic breakfast food. Plan for a short to moderate wait on weekends, more if you have a party larger than four people. If you do have a large party, you will likely be sitting at the central communal table. I've found it to be a positive experience, but if you don't like to potentially rub elbows with strangers bring a smaller group. Breakfast is definitely the star offering here. Many Pig fans, myself included, are really coming here for one item: chicken & waffles. Take your servers advice and add the optional egg on top for a truly religious breakfast experience. It's so good that despite my best intentions to explore the rest of the menu, I keep ending up with the same thing every time. Fortunately my girlfriend isn't stuck on the chicken & waffle train and through her I've been fortunate to sample the delightful ham hash, pig breakfast, and beignets. All were excellent and I feel confident saying that there's something for just about everyone. The homemade jam that comes out with your toast is worth mentioning for its fantastic flavors. Pick up a jar to take come at the end of your meal. Finally, the deducted star. My most recent experience at P&JJ was lackluster compared to the experience I've grown accustomed to. Our waitress was polite, but our food took unusually long for a party of three. She apologized multiple times, but it sounded like the kitchen was having trouble prioritizing orders. I'd overlook the wait time, but when my chicken and waffles arrived I found myself disappointed in the typically stellar speciality. The chicken was very tough under the breading and unpleasant to eat. I'm not sure if kitchen backup lead them to try to rush food out - but whatever the cause, breakfast was not up to its usually high bar. I'm willing to chalk it up to a fluke on that particular day. I certainly won't hesitate to visit again soon.

    I played it safe with the Cobb salad which had high quality ingredients, but the plate was a little small and hard to mix everything together. The chicken was done will with a little char and moist. Staff was friendly and attentive, plus they noticed I checked in on yelp and quickly came by with their toast and house made selection of jams.

  • Laurie B.

    Good. god. First of all, you could stop reading right after I say: I am definitely going back to Pig & A Jelly Jar. I want to try everything on their menu. On my first visit, I tried the delectable biscuits and gravy, and I nibbled on someone else's cottage potatoes. The biscuit was soft and flaky, and the gravy (with sausage) was so creamy, I lost consciousness for a minute. Secondly, all the extra dishes that piqued my interest: literally all of the frittatas, ham hash, and the chicken & waffles. I may be headed back tomorrow! Do yourself a favor - eat at Pig & A Jelly Jar. Brighten your own day, create your own ray of sunshine, eat this delicious food. As far as wait time complaints - I was in a group of four and we went at 12 on Saturday and only waited about 15 minutes. The bottom line is to just be prepared to wait during peak hours because it. is. worth. it.

  • A Sniggs G.

    Went in on New Year's Day, it was busy and they seemed to be under staffed even thought I counted 6 FOH staff for that small restaurant. My food was great. Veg scramble with a side of toast. Homemade jam was the best part. My husband waffles was under cooked and eggs over cooked. But great space, nice people and good concept.

  • Traci R.

    Locally sourced humanely treated pig that is cooked with the respect it deserves. The pulled pork sandwich and the pork belly BLT are great and the potato salad is amazing!!! Strawberry coconut jam is a must try as well.

  • Charles S.

    With a name like Pig & A Jelly Jar, it has to be good. And it is... good. I had the spicy Italian sausage grinder and Lisa had the grilled chicken sandwich. We both had fries. Everything here was fresh and delicious. The sausage sandwich had house-made marinara with fresh basil throughout. The sausage was very tasty, with just the right amount of spice. The chicken sandwich was pretty standard, but the yummy lemon aioli really set off the flavors. The service was excellent and the atmosphere is "cozy." The place is tiny and jam-packed with tables, but it doesn't feel claustrophobic or cramped. Add in a $2 PBR and I'm a happy camper!

    (4)

  • Lauren D.

    The ham Hash was awesome! I actually ordered the buffalo chicken sliders, that were pretty tasty as well, but my sister got the Ham Hash, and she wouldn't let me trade. The aioli was the secret ingredient I think, but I am now definitely a fan. The customer service was also great. Our food was luke warm, to almost cold when they delivered it. We asked if they could pot it in the microwave, and she said there was no microwave. The waitress then happily took the plate, made a new ham hash in 5 minutes, and it was amazing!

  • Sara B.

    I got the basic chicken and waffles, upgraded with egg and bacon. Based off if that staple I will be back to work my way through that incredible looking menu. I've wanted to try this place for awhile, so glad I did!

  • Jamie B.

    My husband and I had breakfast here on Sunday December 21st 2014. The parking is really difficult. The restaurant is also extremely small & very popular so there was a wait which was quite awkward since there's no place to really wait. I felt like we were hovering over people eating. We were seated at the bar along the windows which was fine but there was a coffee pot behind me that the people waiting for a table kept pushing into my back. That wasn't pleasant at all. Our server was excellent, and the food was great too. We bought the Yelp $5 deal which we were able to use without any problems at all. I had the waffle and my husband had the pulled pork sliders.

    Being from out of town I always look for good local food; This establishment came as advertised. Don't know where to begin, portions are perfect, taste is exquisite and service is friendly and efficient. I as well as my party of 7 would highly recommend this place to anyone from out of town or local to sat lake city.

    The chicken and Waffles were amazing. Their jams are so tasty I took one home with me. The strawberry coconut. The fried dill pickles are tasty. By far my favorite fried pickles.

  • Scott W.

    I ended up getting the ham hash because I wasn't that hungry and it was a little cheaper but man was it good and filling. Service was great, food was great, coffee was great. What more do you need. Went on a Friday morning so there wasn't a wait but I'm sure that isn't the case on the weekend. Would definitely recommend this to locals and out-of-towners. They're homemade jams are very good as well.

    The biscuits and strawberry coconut jam were awesome!!! We got in really quick even though it was busy, and the staff is super fast and friendly! I ordered the b & b 3 egg skillet which had candied walnuts, apples and bacon in it! Yum!

    Move over ketchup. Eggs have a new best friend to compliment them and it's marinara sauce. I order the Italian Frittata and I'm sure glad I did. The boyfriend order the Kitchen Sink. I can definitely say the Italian is better. The Italian Frittata consists of Italian sussage, bell peppers, marinara sauce, and basil. Their marinara sauce is nice and chunky not all runny. In the sauce there's cumin, onions, chilis, and probably other stuff as well. It was a wonder accent to the eggs. I also got the sweet flower green tea which I also recommend. Their teas are from the Tea Grotto which is next door. When sipping on the tea you can totally taste/smell the aroma which is its own distinct taste that you have to try. I would have to say if I got my boyfriends dish I probably wouldn't have given them 5 stars.

    We were super excited to try this place based on what we had heard but we're very disappointed. We were seated pretty quickly on a busy Sunday morning. But once seated we sat for twenty minutes before drink order was taken, then an hour before our food ever came. People around us who had ordered after were getting their food while we waited. I got the chicken and waffles but the waffle was cold and soggy. Our water glasses were empty most of the time and when they did refill them it was with warm water, no ice. The one thing we did like was the blueberry lavender jam, but not enough to redeem the poor service.

    Oh a whim, my friend and I popped in here for a quick brunch. We were pleasantly surprised! We started off with toast and jam, which is actually a lot better than it sounds. They bring you 2 of their homemade jams; strawberry coconut and lavender blueberry. I was partial to the lavender blueberry jam on marbled rye toast. Delicious! Even though we read (on Yelp of course) that the chicken and waffles were good, we both ended up with scrambles. He had the Mexican Scramble, I had the Kitchen Sink. We both loved it! They make all of their sausage themselves so of course it was pretty damn good. It's a little out of the way, but worth the visit!

    Best breakfast in SLC. The chicken and waffles is incredible! Not as long of a wait as most of the other spots but much tastier. Only complaint is the service is not great.

  • Moe Moe M.

    This was a spot we ate breakfast at because we found it on yelp. We had a party of 14 and we ended up on Instagram. I ordered the chicken and waffles with a fried egg on top of it. The chicken breast was fried but so delicious. It was not greasy at all. The place is really small, but don't let that be a deterrent. We ate here again yesterday after tubing. The food is good seeing we went back again so soon.

  • Joe H.

    We just went here for the 2nd time on Saturday for breakfast and again I had the Hash and it is so far the best hash in SLC area, for the last 6 weeks I have been eating out each weekend and only have ordered the hash because I am on a mission to find the best hash in town. The service was good and friendly and quick, it was early in the morning because if you get there after 8-9 am its a wait to get seated. Oh and they gave us some of their lavender jam to try with the toast and it was fantastic! Really good on the rye bread! We will be back!

  • Mike B.

    Loved the food! The breakfast sandwich, fried pickles, and fried green tomatoes are delicous. Went with a group of 6 people for brunch on a Saturday so it took about an hour to get seated. Also, it's a bit crammed inside, but the staff is super-friendly and fun to talk to. Make sure you order some toast on the side and try their strawberry coconut and blueberry lavender jams!

  • Rebecca S.

    Wow I am really underwhelmed by this local favorite? Maybe I ordered the wrong thing? I don't know, I certainly would not consider this place a favorite. I ordered the kitchen sink and the potatoes looked like they cut up frozen French fries and added some spices and peppers. Eh not my fav. The eggs were okay but had a lot of liquid and not much flavor. Don't be scared of salt. The service was okay but unfriendly and sterile is not a five star place. I could see regulars being hugged and given special treatment but really shouldn't you treat any paying customer like they matter? I think so.

    Awesome place for brunch on a Saturday afternoon. My husband had just finished running the SLC marathon and agreed to walk a mile south from the finish line to eat here based on the yelp reviews. It was well worth the effort! There was a little bit of a wait, maybe 20 minutes, but nothing crazy. Our server was awesome and so friendly. We ordered the chicken and waffle that was raved about in the reviews. This is one of my favorite dishes, and this place does a great job with it. The waffle is thick, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The chicken is boneless, breaded and well seasoned. Our server suggested to get an egg on it (I got mine over easy), put the syrup on everything, and then put some Frank's Red Hot sauce on top of that. I had never had this combination so I tried it on a small section first, and it was SOOOO good. The hot sauce and egg are the perfect addition to this dish. If I lived in SLC I would go here often!! Highly recommended!

    Believe the hype. This place is wonderful. The ham hash was really wonderful. The restaurant is in a residential area, sort of out of the way on a corner and there is no reason you would notice it, but notice it you must. Your waistline will suffer, but you will really enjoy the food.

  • Joni W.

    We were shopping up the street and needed some food so when we saw the great reviews here we figured we'd better check it out. Glad we did! We both got waffles, one with chicken, per our servers suggestion,-it was good and I'd recommend trying it with the hot sauce they tell you is the "way to eat" it. I don't like hot sauce, but it was a great combination-and the other a pick-n-fix that came with fruit on top and a few sauces. The cinnamon cream was delicious and so was the strawberry coconut jam!!! I'd definitely have them both again! Friendly staff and a nice place. We'll be back!

  • Meadow W.

    First time back since they reopened. Happy to report they are still delicious. My husband would eat the chicken and waffles every day if his arteries would allow it. My kid is happy with potatoes (plain, no veggies added) and biscuits (plain, no gravy, maybe a bit of jelly). I have been happy with everything I have tried. The coffee is also delicious, great coffee and brewed nicely.

    Great food, great service and great atmosphere. Definitely will be a regular stop, whenever we are in the city. The peach spice and strawberry coconut jams are unreal.

  • Brad B.

    It's good, hasbrowns were really good, my gf and me traded plates, she ordered the short rib benedict, and traded me for the mexican scramble. It was good, but for me barbecue flavors and breakfast don't really jive. Really good jelly and toast. Overall I would say the quality is spot on, and I should just try something different the next time I decide to go there.

  • Myles G.

    We both ordered chicken and waffles and they were fantastic. We both had an egg on top and the yoke made it taste even better. Our waiter Jeff was incredible. He recommended Frank's hot sauce to pair with the chicken and waffles. What an incredible combination. Also we receive free toast and jam for checking in. The strawberry coconut jam was very sweet but very good. The blueberry lavender jam was also fantastic. Jeff even recommended his other favorite brunch spots in the area. We will definitely be back and I hope Jeff is our waiter again.

  • Alexis H.

    I really wanted to like this place, and was excited to give it a try after all the reviews but it was a disappointment. The restaurant itself was cool, our waiter was great but the food was a big let down. I had the chicken and waffles and my husband had the biscuits and gravy. The waffles and biscuit had no flavor at all, and you really did have to eat a bit of chicken with each bite to taste anything. The chicken was just your regular breaded chicken, nothing special there. The fresh orange juice was very good, but I mean, it's orange juice. Flavorless breakfast that cost us almost $40.

    (2)

  • Amanda B.

    Holy chicken and waffles!! By far my favorite thing on the menu. I put a little bit of Frank's hot sauce on mine as well as some syrup. It is a killer combo! The energy here is one that cannot be described! I'm always welcomed with a friendly smile when I come in. Not only is the food to die for, the waiters and waitresses are incredible. Nick, the manager always makes a point to come check in and catch up! Kim and Jake also rock! There's something to be said about places that make you feel at home, and Pig & a Jelly Jar is undoubtedly one on my list. Shout out to the wonderful friends who have made every one of my experiences there comforting, enjoyable, and delicious! You guys are awesome.

  • Felipe Z.

    Had the chicken and waffles. It was delish. The service was super nice and attentive. The AC was blasting a bit too much so by the end I was kinda freezing, but it was fine, we were in the middle of the summer, so as soon as I got out I was in heaven again. They have a pretty sweet menu, and they serve alcohol. At least beer. It is pretty tiny, so I can't even imagine eating there when it's packed. We went at a good time at a random day I'm guessing, bc I heard this place is pretty popular. I liked it, and would probably come back again for brunch.

    (4)

  • G L H.

    Yum! Breakfast is definitely the way to go here. We got the beignets with lavender jelly, which was not traditional style by any means, but a unique treat. They were hot out of the fryer and went great with coffee! The Benedict was delicious, as was the sage ginger sausage. We also asked for some jam, and our server brought strawberry coconut, which was to die for. It was really busy and noisy, but the service was fast. Overall, the house made pork and jam, along with the good service were what made this place great! Don't forget to check out the Yelp deals they offer. We got $5 off today.

  • Tanya L.

    Good. But not great. I keep hoping it's going to be great. We decided to grab brunch here Sunday. I called to see what the wait would be and they said they didn't have a wait. So we drive the 10 minute drive over there only to see a mass of people waiting outside. When I went in to see how long the wait would be they said 20 minutes. An HOUR later we were finally seated. During the wait we had figured our what we wanted to order. So when the waiter came to take our drink we said we'd also like to order since we were at this point starving. This seemed to annoy him, he wasn't very pleasant. It took quite a while for our drinks to come but the food came quickly after that. The waiter didn't refill our drinks a single time, we actually had to ask someone else since he never came to check on us. I know they were busy but the service was dismal. We ordered the chicken and waffles, biscuits and gravy with sausage, and the pigberry shortcakes. The chicken and waffles were divine. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicey on the inside and bursting with flavor. The waffles had a great texture not to hard or dense. Really this is their best dish. The biscuits and gravy were ok, the gravy had a nice herby flavor but there was hardly any sausage. And the pigberry short cakes were good but I'm not sure I personally like the coconut strawberry combination. Also they were absurdly skimpy with the whipped cream. The restaurant itself is nice. I love the decor however they really cram you in there. You're practically eating on top of the other patrons no matter where you're seated. I'd definitely go back for the chicken and waffles but that's it.

    I highly recommend this restaurant. The menu is original. The food is very tasty. The service is fast. The prices are reasonable. However, they don't accept Bitcoins so I cannot give them five stars.

  • Mandy J.

    I was visiting my friend last week in SLC and he had to bring me here. I ordered the biscuits with sausage gravy and he got the breakfast sandwich. My biscuits and gravy were delicious and very flavorful with all the extra herbs sprinkled on top. My friend really enjoyed his breakfast sandwich as well. Our server was very nice and even sat down and talked with us for a bit when we first got there. I will definitely try to come back here when I'm visiting again!

  • H Y.

    This is our second time back here. My husband had the kitchen sink and I had pork belly poached eggs. The pork belly was really your threaded pork, not the typical pork belly where you get fat and crispy skin that I hoped for, but it was still pretty awesome. I am giving them 5 stars for consistently serving good food. Definitely will be back because there are other things on the menu that we would like to try out.

    (5)

  • Joshua S.

    A semi-unique menu, great service, and pretty good food. Besides my Pig Burger coming out well-done when I ordered it medium, everything was quite good. The server was quick to respond to my 'plight', and had a new juicy burger out to me in good time. Next time, I'll order the regular burger; I thought I was in a bleu cheese mood, but apparently, I wasn't. The fries were fresh, nice and crispy (double fry method). My friend's ham hash was your standard meat egg and potatoes breakfast fare, but for the aioli which was quite nice, lemony and a real game changer for the hash, for my french fries, and even for my burger. Overall, a great experience, and I'm pretty sure I'll be back.

  • Val W.

    It's OK. But not fabulous, not earth shattering, and frankly a bit hipster. I did not love my dish - it was freezing cold and flavorless. I mentioned it and the waitstaff were darling and promptly brought something else that was much better. But I'd rather go to the Olympian or the Blue Plate instead.

    The food is quite good and so is the service. The only reason I didn't give it 4 stars was because the location is a bit small and parking can be tough. Definitely recommended.

  • LuLu R.

    I have been to the Pig & Jelly Jar a few times. I have had the the pork belly BLT which was overpowered by the cheese. On another occasion I had the chicken and waffles, the chicken was over seasoned and the waffles lacked flavor. While the food has been consistently lackluster the service has been consistently superb. In all honesty it is the service that bumped my review from 2 to 3 stars.

    Amazing food! The fried chicken had so much flavor, so definitely recommend the chicken and waffles. We're from LA, so was different for us to wait till 11:30am to drink alcohol. Great overall comfort food. Just gave them 4 stars due to our server continuously forgetting to bring us stuff we requested, though they were really nice overall

    Found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try. We weren't disappointed. Jake was fabulous and, although we didn't try his recommendations this time, we will next time. The kitchen sink was yummy with the bacon adding a lot of good flavor and the kale was not bitter. The potatoes could have used more salt but that was an easy fix. My husband had the Mexican and liked it. The beignets were tasty but the jelly that was served with them -perfect!

    It was very good. I love the atmosphere. It was very cozy. The staff was very courteous and respectful. I love their egg benedict with their homemade sauce. We tried their homemade jam which was super good. It had a special mix of coconut and berry. I got the burger which was well seasoned and no need to put on extra sauce. The service was fast and prompt.

    Best pulled pork sammie ever. I love the slightly spicy pickles and slaw on top - crispy, but not sloppy. Perfection. Oh, and the fries... the fries... ! Excellent server, too. Jake was just the right combo of attentive and not hovery. The gorgeous blue eyes were nice, too ;)

    I am totally unimpressed with this place I will never go back. Waited 15 minutes after we were seated to order then another 45 minutes before we just left because our food still wasn't ready.

  • Rajeev M.

    Why I went Post Test Lunch and it came highly recommended on Best brunch in Salt lake city thread. What I ordered: Chicken and Waffles: Probably my favorite chicken and waffles experience to date and the chicken was definitely the highlight. It was crispy but extremely tender. The waffle was also a great vessel for the chicken but by itself it was nothing special. In addition, I could not tell if the portion size was small or I liked this dish that much but I was extremely tempted to order another portion haha Frenchie...caramelized onions/mushrooms/brie/9 Pretty mundane. Barely any brie and the eggs were overdone. It also wasn't salted, which was very disappointing. I only ordered it because my girlfriend was adamant about ordering the chicken and waffles and I wanted to try as much of the menu as I could. Homemade Breakfast sausage: With a name like Pig and a jelly jar I would assume the sausage would be on point and it was. This sausage had great texture and flavor and with the maple syrup I added it was bomb. Cut to the Chase: 5 Stars! I will return. Great Chicken and waffles: If I want good chicken and waffles I know where to go! The Sunday supper menu is also very intriguing along with the other types of homemade sausage. What made this place 5 Stars: Although the Frenchie was kind of mediocre the amazing service at Pig and a Jelly Jar is the reason I gave it 5 stars. They were very accommodating and allowed everyone in our party to use the yelp deal ($5 for $10). So at the end of the day it was great food at a great price. Can't beat that with a baseball bat!

  • Marta V.

    As tourist this was far from downtown slc but the food was delicious! It was Saturday 12:30p ish and it was a bit of a wait for food to come out or even a waiter to come take care of us! It is a small place and hot inside but the patio outside was perfect! The jam and biscuit was worth it! The chix & waffle was to die for! I would come back againnn!

  • A M.

    I was not impressed when I went to Pig & A Jelly Jar. Their food was tasteless and the servers were off putting. I got the fish and chips and it was fried strange because it had a nasty taste to it. Looked cool, but I think I'll pass next time.

  • Ellen S.

    Very helpful and friendly staff! The jellies are so yummy tried strawberry coconut and raspberry lavender, I got the breakfast sandwich which was phenomenal. Also tried the PBR bloody mary and the PBR mimosa both great especially for $4. Will be back again! Their breakfast menu goes until closing time on the weekends which is 9pm!!!

  • francine s.

    Don't sit outside, the flys are horrendous!!!! Skip the BLT sandwich, it was flavorless, even with added bacon, the fried green tomato was way over battered, even the bacon was flavorless for a pig joint!!! The coke was way over carbonated. The chicken and waffle was ok.

    (2)

  • Manny R.

    We had friendly and attentive service from Erin. I ordered the Frenchie skillet and it was just okay. The eggs were overcooked and dry, the brie wasn't melted, and the onions weren't carmelized as indicated on menu. The potatoes were also cold but promptly replaced with hot ones upon my request. I'm guessing that maybe they were short on kitchen staff for a Thursday morning and a 12 person table was seated right before us that food was hurried out of the kitchen and not up to expectations. I really expected to like this place as the Yelp reviews were very good. The food was one star and the service was a three and perhaps I caught them on an off day. I'll give them another chance.

    (2)

  • Yan L.

    Brunch was okay. The wait was long. Got the hash which was good but nothing spectacular. The highlight was the toast and jam selection, which was awesome. Their bread was perfectly toasted, crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. Jam was chilled and not overwhelmingly sweet.

    (3)

  • Tara B.

    This was the first time that we had ever eaten here and the food was just fantastic. My husband had the chicken and waffles, the chicken was mind blowing. It was so flavorful and just so delicious. I had the waffle with different toppings and the cinnamon creme it was fantastic. Eating it with the apples on top was like having a mini apple pie. We also tried the sausage which was very good as well. The service was impeccable. I could not recommend this place more! Can't wait to go back!

  • michelle m.

    Eh. The first time I went, which was pre-fire, I went strictly for the chicken and waffles. Didn't even need to be tempted by the menu. I was a girl on a mission. Give me dank chicken and waffles or give me death. I've been to roscoe's, I know good chicken and waffles. These did not disappoint. I literally could not get them in my mouth fast enough and didn't want to stop for air. Fast forward a couple months. I took my friend there and was giddy with anticipation knowing what awaited me. I unlocked the yelp offer for free toast and jam. ohmygod. I can't say I've never eaten spoonfuls of jam at a time, but I've certainly never felt less guilty about it. I'd like to say one was a strawberry coconut and the other was a blueberry something or other. Time to get real. We both ordered the c&w because I threatened his life dare he ask for a bite of mine. They arrived, we ate, I wasn't stoked. What changed? I don't know. I can't really put my finger on it. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't as great as I remember. The chicken was cooked well, juicy and crispy in all the right places. Maybe it was a lack of seasoning? And the waffle....was just a tepid waffle. No big whoop. Hmph. I feel deceived and I don't know whether to point the finger at pig and a jelly jar or my taste buds.

    I never had chicken and waffles before. They sounded like a strange combination. Had it here and it was Fabulous. Wow! Even tried it with an egg. Great fresh taste. The OJ was fresh squeezed. After seeing plates being brought out for the other customers I want to try other dishes next time.

    I was very excited to try out this restaurant for breakfast, but was very disappointed in the menu choices, food flavors, and food preparation. Strange favors for breakfast and also tasted dry.

    Cool location. Cool looking space but too small. Waited for quite a while to be seated. Friendly staff. Food was ok but not super memorable. Wouldn't go back on my own but if a friend was insistent I suppose I'd oblige. The fritata served in mini cast iron skillets was cool.

  • Kate M.

    We recently came for a first time visit. Hard to wait, since there's not very much room out the door. Hostess / wait staff weren't very organized about seating, so unfortunately our wait was longer than it needed to be, even after we spoke up about seating some people while others were still waiting. (all parties of 2). Once we sat down, we tried to forget about our annoyance at this. Service was quick about ordering, but slow to deliver, a fact we forgave since the place was pretty packed. The chicken and waffles was really good, and we enjoyed all the jams we tried (we sampled some from the table next to us as well). I tasted one of their special frittatas, and that was really nice, perfectly cooked and balanced as far as the ingredients go. I'll be back to try more breakfast things, but I'll have to be more pushy about getting a table.

    It had been awhile since we had visited Pig & A Jelly Jar. They have recently expanded their hours several days a week to include dinner. I decided to revisit what they are known for and have the chicken and waffles, I was not disappointed. My husband had the same. My daughters boyfriend tried the burger with bacon jam , it was a keeper ( we like the boyfriend too). Fries were crispy and full of flavor ( mainly garlic). The chicken was a star all by itself , perfect crunch, I loved that it was boneless so much easier to eat and perfectly moist. I love having this little gem in my neighborhood , we will be back.

    My company does work for this place, and I've been meaning to try it. First the positive in that we went on a Sunday and the wait was like 10 minutes. We realized why....because the servers are pushing to get as many out possible. We sat down and the unfriendly server came over and and asked what we wanted to drink, we asked about the liquor menu on the table. She said "oh you can't order from that until 11:30am...." Ok so why do you have a liquor menu on the table before 11:30am?! She immediately takes our order after that. 5 minutes later our food comes out, and I'm like "wow that is insanely quick...." The chicken and waffles I had were blah...no flavor to the waffle and the chicken was just ok. The buffalo sliders my wife had were not bacon wrapped as the menu said, and they came with this disgusting fry sauce that tasted like it was made from pickle juice. Everything needed salt. Also the server never asked if everything was good for us. And when we received our check the coffee I had was $3. If I wanted a $3 coffee I would go to starbucks.

    We were celebrating our anniversary and looking for a good alternative to the $50 a plate Grand America buffet. Found it on yelp and decided to give it a try. This place reminds me a lot of Hash House a Go Go in Vegas, and that's a good thing. I ordered the Chicken and waffles and my wife ordered the fritatta. We also ordered fresh OJ. Very well season and perfectly cooked chicken on a crisp waffle. The frittata came out steaming hot with potatoes on the side. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, the service, and the ambiance. Will definitely return, well done!

    Had the chicken + waffles and biscuits + gravy. Gravy was awesome and biscuits had nice rosemary flavor, but chicken was pretty bland and tasted unseasoned. The breading was very good though. The waffle was pretty tasteless and meh too. That said, the person next to me ordered fried green tomatoes and they looked amazing, jam was great and I plan to go back here soon.

    Just had a lovely brunch here. Service was very prompt and our server Jake was very charming and friendly. They have a really fun brunch cocktail list, don't miss out on trying a BJ! (sparkling wine with house made jam) their PBR Bloody Mary was also very good. Generous portions as far as food goes and fairly priced. Try it out!!

    Had brunch here today. Service was a little slow and not well organized. Food took a long time to get to us and when it did 3/4 plates were cold, including my dish. I was super hung over, so didn't really care and I'm not one to complain. I did notice some other tables complaining about the service as well. I'd go back.

    One of the most interesting places I've ever eaten. After spending a week in the south, I developed a taste for chicken and waffles. I came to this place the first time for the express purpose of consuming said dish. The chicken and waffles here were actually better than the stuff I ate in Georgia. It was also here that I learned how to properly eat, this, one of my new favorite dishes. A plate of chicken and waffles should be consumed with hot sauce and a fried egg on top. Keep that in mind. Furthermore, I have sampled their waffles with a type of lavender jelly that was simply divine. The indie atmosphere and delicious food make Pig & Jelly Jar one of my favorite places in this city.

    Pig & A Jelly Jar is a cute, local restaurant located near the trendy 9th and 9th area of Salt Lake City. Although there isn't much seating inside, there was no wait for a table on a Sunday morning. I expect on Saturdays it's a different story, so plan to wait or show-up early. One of the their specialities is chicken and waffles. Since I'd never had chicken and waffles and I'd always wanted to try them I ordered up a plate. The waffle was light and crispy and the chicken was breaded lightly and cooked really well. With the addition of some maple syrup the chicken and waffle together were absolutely delicious! I really loved it and I'm eager to try it again. My wife ordered the ham hash and she said it was also really good. Our waitress was friendly and quick to take our order, bring our our food, and refill our glasses throughout the meal. Great food and good service, what more could you want? Pig & A Jelly Jar is definitely a restaurant worth visiting!

    Stress in a natural part of life. It comes in many forms, and at many different times, none of which are convenient. It may take the form of a treacherous exam, stalking your hard-earned grade like prey on safari. Perhaps your stress comes from a professor who has sworn to destroy all happiness in your life. Or so it seems. I swear sometimes they make pacts to see how many students they can force into mental collapse. Whatever your source of stress, it's important to take a step back, breathe and eat some comfort food. "But wait!" you're saying. "Eating your feelings is a bad thing. Psychologists have told us this time and again. It's irresponsible." I will be the first to hypothesize that there is nothing a good meal and a hot shower can't fix. How about it, science? Let's find a cure-all. While comfort food might not fix your grade, or cure more serious problems like schizophrenia or cancer, it can heal the nicks and bumps that occur in a person's mental and emotional state during their time in stressful situations (read: college). Luckily for you, I've found the happy marriage between elevated cuisine and comfort food, and it's right next to Liberty Park. Pig and a Jelly Jar sits on the corner of 400 E. and 900 S. in the chic Sugarhouse district of Salt Lake. It has been chronically busy since its crowning of Best Comfort Food in the 2013 Dining Awards. One taste of the food, and you'll quickly see why. Let's start with my dish: the Kitchen Sink Frittata. The name is precisely accurate, as the dish had sausage, bacon, tomato, onion, peppers, mushrooms, spinach and provolone, topped with Bloody Mary salsa. It was perfectly delicious. With all of the ingredients going in the pan, I was a little worried that they might not be cooked the way they should be. For those of you who have never tried making a multifaceted egg dish, consider how differently spinach and sausage cook, or bacon and mushrooms, and you can imagine the precise timing that would be needed to pull off such a dish. I'm happy to report that they hit it right on the head. The frittata was light and fluffy, with the grocery list of ingredients layered to perfection. The Bloody Mary salsa was an intriguing American twist on a Mexican staple. It had a great deal of flavor, and was the perfect accompaniment to the complex load of flavors. I thought I had found the best thing in the restaurant when I smugly asked my wife how her chicken and waffle was. She said it was delicious. Thinking there was no way that it could beat my frittata, I dove into the Southern classic. I was wrong. This was by far the best chicken and waffle I'd ever had. The Belgian waffle was crispy and flaky, but I couldn't pay attention to it. Sitting atop the delectable waffle was one of the biggest boneless chicken breasts I'd ever seen, fried and tossed in a house blend that would make any chef proud. The chicken and waffle combo was topped with maple syrup and hot sauce, and perched atop the tower of deliciousness was a single fried egg. It was one of the best dishes I've ever had. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the succulence of the meat paired with the seasoning and sauces sang. The egg tied the whole dish together with a savory bow that made me wonder if the other competitors for the comfort food award were still in business. Judging by the status of the restaurant, however, I would say they are. To quote "Hell's Kitchen's" Gordon Ramsay, "bloody good food needs bloody good service!" Unfortunately for Pig and a Jelly Jar, the service of the staff made the restaurant break just above even. We waited nearly 45 minutes for our food, and while it was good, it was quite the wait. I would have let that go, but we proceeded to wait another 30 minutes after our plates had been cleared for our check. I eventually walked up and explained that we needed to leave and got out. The waitstaff seemed frantic, and as good as the food was, it left a bad taste in my mouth. Overall, I will be back. Food that good with service that poor is confusing, so I'm assuming they had a bad day. If you have stresses you can't seem to tackle, I might recommend a heavy dose of chicken and waffles, so long as your stress isn't based around not having enough time. For a full menu or to make reservations, go to pigandajellyjar.com . So go eat, and be happy.

    We have been trying to find "our spot" for breakfast since we moved here two years ago. This morning we found it!! The chicken and waffles were excellent and the chicken biscuits were phenomenal, but don't forget to get a side of the sausage gravy...it takes it to a whole new level as our super fantastic waiter Nicholas told us. Nicholas was also one of the best waiters we have had in salt lake and the rest of the wait staff seemed just as on it. Sooooo if you want an all around fabulous experience....eat here and get a beer with breakfast ;)

    This is our second time here. The first time I had the waffles and fried chicken and he had bacon eggs and potatoes. The second time I had a pulled pork sandwich and he had the kitchen sink skillet, we shared an appetizer of fried pickles. Both times it was okay but the flavors were lacking and I have experienced much better elsewhere so while it was okay I think for a more satisfying meal I will look elsewhere.

    The food here is really good. I had a traditional breakfast. The bacon was excellent. They also have some yummy PBR cocktails. The service was slow and the table was way too small.

  • Rachel O.

    My husband and I went here about a year ago, and breakfast sandwich blew us away. This morning, we decided to go again, and boy, were we disappointed. There was no host to take our names down when we got there, and that was awkward. We ordered the bfast sandwich and the Creole Pork Belly Benedict. Both were pretty much awful, and I'm sad to say that because we REEEEALLY want to love this place. However, on the Benedict, the poached eggs had hard yolks, the bread was soggy, the pork belly was tough, the kale was raw, and it was topped with a salsa that tasted like Pace picante sauce. The side of potatoes were nicely crisped, but they were cold. The only good things about the meal were our lovely waitress and the coffee. I really want you to succeed, Pig and a Jelly Jar, but you've gotta up your cooking chops.

    Try their tomato jalapeno jelly! Pig & a Jelly Jar has a really fun, casual environment and they do a good job of bringing authentically southern breakfast food to SLC. Highlights: the B&B, chicken and waffles, and various jellies.

    I love this place. It has great vibes and wonderful food. We originally came for the chicken and waffles and ended up venturing out to other things on the menu. We went on a Wednesday and they had a daily special of Chicken Pot Pie. Which we were debating about and we were glad we decided to get it. It was not like a traditional Chicken Pot Pie. It was not served in a pie tin or in a pie like fashion. The "crust" seemed like it was placed before serving. I was skeptical at first, but It was delicious! It was flaky and not the soggy like texture you usually get with chicken pot pie. I really liked it! I wish it was on their regular menu. You also cannot go wrong with the Chicken and Waffles. They use Franks Red Hot Sauce and that combined with the syrup and chicken are a match made in heaven. I personally like things a little bit spicier and I felt like the balance of the sweet from the syrup complimented each other well. Their Orange Juice and Coffee are also delicious. Also if you check in on yelp you get a free cup of Joe!! Overall, I would go here again. I think it is one of my favorite restaurants in SLC. :D

    Rachele our server was great, chicken and bacon good, waffle was plain. Older door lady kind of rude from the start of taking my name, then came filled my water glass by picking it up towards the top where my mouth would touch it, after wiping tables with a wet rag, she needs to go back and retake her food handlers permit.

  • Matt W.

    A nice unique place if you want to try something new. They have a pretty simple menu that offers some interesting food varieties you wouldn't find elsewhere. Several Frittata dishes and other breakfast items along with some other lunch/dinner meals. Enjoyed the eclectic atmosphere and great service, and the food was good.

    Went in about a week ago with a couple friends to get the chicken and waffles and was very impressed. It was late and we were the only customers there to my surprise so service was very fast. The waiter was extremely nice and suggested a fried egg on top and a few different drinks which all turned out to be amazing choices. I highly recommend this place and trying one of their beer mixers!

  • James B.

    This is one of my brunch places around. I've tried the Mexican and the Italian skillet and I liked them both. The chicken and waffles were delicious. The PBR cocktails were creative and fun. And finally the service was amiable. My complaint is the hours: they're mostly only open for lunch. The dining room is kind of small, but I guess that adds to the coziness.

  • Juliet C.

    breakfast sausage is amazing. a little salty but hey, it's a sausage! it should be. I also had the frenchie fritatta, which was fine. But, the big plus here is that the service was really great. Our waitor was such a nice guy and chill about everything. He reminded me of the guys back where I'm from, in san diego. Everyone at our table wanted the chicken and waffles. And looking around, everyone else seemed to be ordering that too!

    I tried to go here again because I figured they had some time to perfect service... Nope. The waiter was surly and seemed inconvenienced by everything, especially when I had to ask for a spoon for my coffee and a straw for my water. There was only two other people in the restaurant and he spent most of his time complaining to the cook about employees or staring into space. The food was overcooked and with that service I can't imagine going back again.

    I've been in search for a place with quality chicken n waffles in SLC ever since Bayleaf closed down, and I've tried many other places that fall short. I was surprised to come here and the better put together chicken n waffles. The chicken was great and crispy and hey, a real looking waffle! Plus, they didn't forget the hot sauce! Besides having great chicken n waffles, something to note that might not make a difference to you but I noticed, was the hostess working when nobody was coming in. She sprayed the all-glass door down and cleaned off the hand prints from people. If that's an indication of how the rest of the staff is, then I'm impressed with their attention to detail when it comes to cleanliness. I honestly, haven't seen that very often and it just randomly caught my eye. I would of liked to give this place 5-stars but I felt like the place was a little crammed. I was constantly being pushed around in my chair for waitresses and other people to get by. It makes sense why it was like that, the place was packed (which isn't a bad thing obviously). They really should expand or get a new place or something, they need it! So many people go there for Sunday brunch it's crazy. If you're looking for a place for brunch with a unique selection of food, cheerful atmosphere, or you are just plain looking for chicken n waffles, then go here. You won't be disappointed.

    Went for the first time today and loved it! I had the kitchen sink, which was excellent! Served in a skillet, which kept it hot throughout my meal. Also had the Charming Beard coffee which was great. Many things on the menu I want to try on subsequent visits. Salads, sandwiches, "bar bites," and other things. I had a side of biscuits with the housemade strawberry-coconut jam, which was amazing. My only complaint was that the biscuits were rather flat and heavy rather than light and airy as I would have expected. But everything else definitely 5 stars. My waiter, Nick, was friendly and efficient and all one could ask for. Also, Yelp should remove the "Temporarily Closed" notice at the top. I went today, April 4, and it was open and full of people.

    First time visit on a Tuesday morning at 11:00. I was greeted almost immediately, and was asked where I'd like to sit. There were only 2 occupied tables, so there was no wait. My server was friendly and attentive. I chose the ham hash ($9), and it was food heaven! It arrived quickly, well seasoned, piping hot, and just the right amount of spice (for me anyway). The ratio of egg, meat, potatoes, onions, peppers, and spinach was just perfect. Given how small this place is, I will avoid it on the weekends, but there is no question that I will go back OFTEN during non-peak hours. UPDATE Nov 2013 I've been here at least half a dozen times now, and this is where I bring my out of town guests. I always get great friendly service and awesome food. Still think the ham hash is the best thing on the menu!

  • Joey P.

    I had the sausage breakfast which came with a spicy Italian sausage, eggs, and potatoes. The sausage was very good. The potatoes were home fry style and were also good. The eggs were....eggs. It's a cute little restaurant. They have interesting pictures on the wall and funny T-shirts to buy. The only problem is the prices. My modest portion of sausage, eggs, and potatoes was $9, and it didn't even include toast or anything. It's definitely on the upper end of the $ scale for breakfast places. Luckily though, Yelp had an offer here that saved me $5! So factoring that in, it was a great deal!

  • Dirk M.

    There wasn't a single thing that I liked about this place. Bad coffee, bland food, and super slow service. I ordered the Mexican frittata and my girlfriend had the waffle with fruit. My frittata was pretty bland. The jalapeno cream sauce helped a little, but it still left a lot to be desired. The potatoes that came with my meal were awful, they didn't have much flavour and some of them were raw. The only good thing about my meal was that it came out hot, unlike my girlfriend's waffle. I'm pretty sure that it was sitting around until my dish was ready, so their timing on preparing meals to come out together could use some work. Neither one of us liked the coffee, but at least it was free with our Yelp check-in. There's just much better breakfast options like Park Cafe or Eggs in the City nearby. I doubt we'll be back.

    The BEST fried chicken ever (and I'm from the South). I got the chicken & waffles, boyfriend got the chicken sandwich. Food was delicious, service was fast (seated immediately though it was busy and got our food in 20 min).

  • Christine W.

    Food was great, and I would normally give them 5 stars. However, this was all masked by the fact that there are flies -everywhere! When you look up from your table you can see dozens of them just buzzing around, and then they land on your food throughout the meal. It was unappetizing and we left without finishing our meal. Clean your restaurant, people.

    Me and my friends stopped in for breakfast. We all had the chicken and waffles, and we, unanimously, thought they were the best we've eaten. My first chicken and waffle experience was at the famous ATL's Gladys Knight and Ron's Chicken and Waffles. Although that place is good, it, more or less, is a tourist attraction. The chicken and waffles we had a Pig & A Jelly jar were fantastic, and I would definitely eat there again.

    I wanted to like this joint. I really did. I bought a living social coupon when they first opened, even though the reviews were still spotty. I hoped that Pig & A Jelly Jar would have the kinks worked out after a few months... The first time I tried to go was on a Sunday, (oops! I didn't read the fine print on my coupon,) and the place was packed to the gills. I wasn't about to pay full price given that I had already bought a voucher, so my friend and I went to the Bayleaf. (Nomanomnom...) When I finally got around to re-visiting Pig & a Jelly Jar on a random Tuesday a month or so back I was underwhelmed. The service was good, but the restaurant was virtually empty and my buddy and I were seated next to two very loud and obnoxious women. I didn't even realize there was music playing in the restaurant until the women left. My buddy had the chicken and waffles, (I stole a bite- they were tasty.) I ordered the sausage grinder. Meh... underwhelming. The fries were good at least. I might go back for their Sunday family style dinner, because it looks like such a cool concept. Otherwise, there are plenty better options for breakfast/brunch in SLC.

  • Whitney C.

    nom nom nom. This place is legit! They have a simple yet flavorful menu of great breakfast and lunch items. I got the Hashbrown Hash and it was tasty! Chunks of ham, bacon, potatoes, onions, peppers, seasonings and an egg over easy. It may seem like a simple hash but it was way tastier than the average diner plate. Plus it wasn't smothered in cheese which was a refreshing change. They make their own jam which unfortunately I didn't have but i'll be back so no worries there. Their coffee is from Salt Lake Roasting and if you check in on YELP you get a free cup! They are also running a yelp deal... pay $5 get $10 of food. The place was packed but they do a good job of turning tables. Be prepared to wait 15-20 minutes though as it's pretty small and maybe has 20 table tops. They also have a menu of breakfast beverages where the main ingredient is PBR. haha. maybe one day i'll be brave and try that. Service was friendly and efficient and the place had great decor. Parking wasn't an issue and it wasn't too loud that you felt trapped in chaos. They DON"T take reservations even though the yelp mobile app will tell you they do. not a big deal though. Every Sunday they have a set dinner for $30 bucks but other than that they are only open for Breakfast and Lunch. Dinner menu looked yummy though! Well done Pig & A Jelly Jar!

    I've been to Pig & A Jelly Jar twice for Sunday breakfast. And it's become one of my downtown favorites. Both times I've ordered the chicken and waffles. So far, this has been the best chicken and waffles I've had in Salt Lake! The waffles aren't overly sweet, so they complement the fried chicken well. And the chicken is fried perfectly. Nice and moist inside, flavorful batter on the outside. Definitely try this dish with the hot sauce. Yum. One observation--my first order of chicken and waffles came with a piece of chicken that was about the same size as the waffle. The second time it was about half that size--so don't depend on a gigantic size piece of chicken...that's not a problem, just is what it is. The first time I was a single diner and was seated at one of the window seats. The service was prompt and professional. I was comfortable and would recommend the place to anyone dining alone. The second time I was with two others and we were seated at the bar by the kitchen where the servers go to get coffee, water, etc. This actually ended up being a lovely place to sit, because everyone was so convivial and attentive. So, I ended up being very pleased with sitting in a place that seemed less than ideal at first. I do wish the place was bigger. It's small and quirky, which is nice (you're not looking for the IHop experience here), but waiting for a table is a tad uncomfortable because there isn't anywhere to go other than back outside, or if it's cold you can simply hover there in space. Because I know it's so challenging to get a table on a Sunday morning, I feel like I'm in a sprinting competition against anyone else I see headed toward the restaurant so I can get there first! I guess that's a good sign though...the place is in hot demand!

    Daughter and I tried this place at lunch today, all i can say is we'll be back. great little place. Daughter had the vege Fritatta, loved it, I had the sausage grinder with their homemade fries - loved it. Service was awesome and the decor is excellent. Can't wait to go back and try the Sausage Gravy - table next to us had it and I wanted to reach my fork across the table :)

    I recently went here because it had good reviews and it is kind of new and trendy. The positives first: great bacon and great coffee. Now the negatives, it is rather expensive for a breakfast spot, nearly twice the rate as other neighborhood eateries. I did not care for the food either; don't get me wrong, it was ok but nothing really special. Also, no kids menu so the portions are a bit wasted on the little ones. I ordered the spicy Italian sausage and it was bland with no spice. Others in my party did not fair any better either... ok food with little flavor and not worth returning to.

    Pig & A Jelly Jar is our favorite breakfast/lunch/brunch restaurant in Salt Lake! My boyfriend & I are regulars and we have tried nearly everything on their menu, and we have yet to find something that we don't like! Also, the servers are always friendly, which is a plus. Also, you need to order toast and ask for their strawberry coconut jam! It is amazing!

  • Bud H.

    The limited items I tried were all good but nothing was spectacular. The Pig Burger was juicy, flavorful, and came with a nice, soft bun. With that said, it was a bit messy and fell apart about midway through my meal. The fries were hit and miss. What I mean by that is, they appear to be handcut as they are served in all sorts of shapes and sizes. The thin ones were crispy and cooked just right, the mid-sized pieces were a bit on the limp side, while the thicker cut pieces were not cooked enough. The thin fries were great, just how I like them. The mid-sized were serviceable but could have been better. The thick ones just didn't cut it. Thank goodness I only had three or four thick-cut fries in the bunch. Cool space. Cool crowd (hipsters galore). Good food - but perhaps I expected more for the price.

    Maybe 4? I'm really on the fence here. After bookmarking it, I had been campaigning to have breakfast here for weeks. My homebody boyfriend finally relented and we were on our way! I ordered the Vegetarian Sink Frittata and my boyfriend went with the Mexican Frittata, each came with toast and potatoes. They were large and pretty good. Lots of ingredients stuffed in the baked eggs. The breakfast potatoes were my least favorite thing on the plate. Thickly sliced, not cooked all the way through and just not a good thing. The jelly for the toast, on the other hand, was my favorite part of the whole meal. There were two types of jelly already on the table with the condiments- a strawberry coconut opaque mixture and a darker berry situation, I want to say raspberry or something. It doesn't matter- the strawberry coconut was out of this world! I was put off by it's weird color and texture originally, but holy moly! It was GOOD! It sounds like a fine breakfast, so why 3 stars? I thought the atmosphere was weird and stark. We were the only ones in at the time, and it was awkward. Our waitress was not attentive and without anyone else in the dining area, it was hard to get anyone's attention. I also didn't love the location or the parking situation. While there was nothing seriously wrong with the whole meal, we don't feel compelled to go back.

    First, the food actually was great. My low rating comes from the general attitude of the staff. We were told our wait was going to be 40 minutes, after over an hour, the hostess tried to seat our party of four at a counter top. If it was a party of two, I'd understand, but four people cannot chat at a counter. Also, I am 7+ months pregnant, and high seating chairs aren't for me. After explaining this, the hostess put us ON THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST to be seated at a regular table. She was extremely rude, not understanding, THEN I was in the bathroom and heard her complaining to her coworker. We waited for over an hour and a half, finally were seated (after a table sat empty for about 15 minutes...hello spiteful attitude). So, Kimberly, if you read this... being spiteful will definitely guarantee a loss in customers.

    Ok, they've undergone some serious changes and improvements. Amy and team have fixed the service issues and the food execution problems. We were so hesitant to try it again, but I can say with assurity that we will be back, soon and often! If anyone was thinking of writing them off, think again!

    Dined for Sunday breakfast. We ordered the waffle with jellies and the chicken and waffles. Waffles were good... one of the accompanying jellies was orange and green tea which was exceptional. The side of sick looking grapes and dried orange slices should not have made it too the table. The chicken was well cooked and moist and with the addition of hot sauce, which our server recommended, was quite tasty. Interesting varieties of hot tea. Drip coffee was just that. The atmosphere is bright. Our small table was near the kitchen and therefore a high traffic area and once our plates arrived every inch of surface area was occupied. Other tables further from the kitchen are advised. The servers were pleasant and attentive. While the experience had its highs and lows, we were satisfied enough to considering returning to sample other menu options.

    I recently went back to give it a shot at the request of my friends. The service and food was much improved. I was much more happy with my overall experience. Before I can become a raving fan willing to suggest this place to my friends I will need to come a few more times and see that the food is consistent. But overall it was a vast improved experience.

    American/comfort food. It is obvious that they use high quality fresh herbs and seasonings, and it takes each dish we tried to a very unique level of taste. Perfect place for a Sunday brunch.

  • K G.

    Not bad but not definitely not stellar. Perhaps my expectations were set waaaaay too high.... The Food: Chicken atop our waffles was, well, wimpy. Wimpy small breast of chicken and one wimpy waffle. Location: Small, but not in a quaint kind of way. Small and awkward. Closed Sundays, of course. So they lose a star for that as well. May try again, in a couple months. Perhaps they are working through the kinks....I hope.

    How does this place have only three and a half stars? Are people in Salt Lake City that clueless? This is an incredible place. I would say incredible because it's such a different taste. It reminds me of Foreign and Domestic in Austin.

    Just got back from eating here for the first time. I left my wallet at home and offered my server, Tim, my iPad to hold as collateral until I came back to pay. He wouldn't take it and said I looked like I was trustworthy person. Great food and even better service.

  • Paul R.

    In short - a really good breakfast, funky atmosphere, and friendly efficient service. You should try it. I was in Salt Lake City on business and some friends there told me about their recent visit to Pig & A Jelly Jar, and I decided to give them a try for breakfast. I arrived on a Monday morning just after opening time. The server greeted me and invited me to sit. He came back with my coffee (locally roasted) and gave me a couple minutes with the menu. I chose the Italian Frittata. A three egg creation with a nicely spiced house made sausage, sautéed peppers, mushrooms, and onions, and provolone. Then topped with marinara and basil. It was served in a blistering hot small skillet. On the side were deliciously seasoned cottage fries. My meal was delivered in just a few minutes and I enjoyed every bite. By the time I left, other customers were trickling in. I'll definitely be back for breakfast and will need to stop in for lunch or dinner (dinner only on Sunday) and try one of their PBR cocktails!

    Came here for the chicken and waffles and they delivered. So good. The service was fantastic and I loved their PBR Cocktail menu. Might have clinched my favorite breakfast in SLC spot.

  • Rebecca K.

    BEST chicken & waffles! The chicken is perfectly crispy and the sweet/savory combination is a party in your mouth. The pulled pork sandwich is also fantastic with the cabbage slaw & homemade pickles. The b&b frittata was recommended to us -- it was a unique but good combination of flavors (apples, candied nuts, blue cheese) but we thought the blue cheese flavor was almost in recognizable in the bechamel sauce. We'll be back!

  • Jaimie K.

    i think i've might have found my favorite saturday brunch spot! Ordered the Italian Frittata and i must say, it was beyond my expectation! Cottage Fries are amazing!!! My boyfriend ordered the chicken & waffle and he pretty much licked his plate clean. I did actually sneak a bite (im on that no carbs til Sunday diet -_-) of the waffle & it tasted HEAVENLY!!! The place COULD be a little bit bigger but on the.... Plus side+ Everything is locally grown & organic; freshly made to order; friendly service; very chill ambiance; serves PBR-mary, -tini, -sunrise... Very HipsterChic I'll be back for your Sunday Supper!!!! :):)

    Great experience. We came on a Sunday night during their Sunday night dinner, which doesn't normally include chicken and waffles. Fortunately for us, they were willing to make that dish for us. A nearby table overheard our order and wanted the same! The chicken and waffles were delicious. Our waiter even suggested putting hot sauce on them. I never would have guessed but hot sauce tastes great on the dish. The manager or owner then informed us that future Sunday night dinners will now include c&w. All future patrons - you are welcome!

    My mother and I lunched there a few weeks ago. She had the chicken pot pie. She loved it. Honestly - it wasn't attractive. I agree with her that the flavor worked well, but presentation matters. A food based on beige ingredients (chicken, cream, mushrooms) needs to offer you something to look at. I had the brie and sausage grinder. It was...ok. The bun was much bigger than the filling and since it was dry that meant plenty of nice bland bread to chew on. The fries were fine but nothing to write home about (and since my Mom was right there, no need to write!). I felt a little carb-loaded afterwards. The best part of lunch was watching the servers deliver 6 orders of chicken and waffles to a large table of doctors (in their scrubs!). Not cardiologists, I guess. So here's the thing. This restaurant is convenient, pretty, and branded in a way that appeals to people looking for a modern American bistro. Our meal there, though, offered nothing very impressive. Other reviews note great food and mediocre service. In our case the service was just fine but the food was mediocre.

    I'm hesitant to write a review on this fun little "find" in that I don't want it to be over-run with crowds! That said, this is a perfect place for weekend brunch and coffee. I ordered the "ham hash" - fully of yummy, healthy morsels of goodness topped with a sunny side up egg. Loved the strawberry/coconut and pumpkin/apple jelly on toast. Their coffee is freshly ground and infused with espresso - making it extra good. Opened late summer 2012. Very small dinning area. Quaint atmosphere, friendly and prompt service. Now stay away..it's mine!!!

  • Jessica C.

    "Delicious menu. Interesting flavor combinations and presentation is top notch. Service was lackluster. I probably won't be back due to the service; and it wasn't just one server or an off day. I've been there enough to realize it is a pattern."

    We just love Pig and A Jelly Jar! My partner will make me take him for Sunday brunch so he can have the Chicken and Waffles! Great Service, Great Food, and just a fun laid bak environment! I personally highly recommend anything with their homemade sausage!

    Neat place and ambience. Chicken sink frittata was good, but don't order the fruit plate, it's sad looking and tasting :(

  • Alan J.

    We were frankly a bit disappointed. We had Saturday breakfast, and while my fried chicken was delicious, my wife and I had a Waffle that she said at the time was underdone (it looked rather pale to me) and desperate for a little salt. It later occurred to us that the chef may have accidently left out the baking powder, which would explain it.

  • Lauren B.

    My boyfriend and I caught an early flight back to Salt Lake City from San Antonio, Texas and decided to have breakfast when we landed. Tummies grumbling we stopped here and ended up disappointed in the quality of the food. His biscuits and gravy had no sausage and the biscuit reminded us of dry cornbread. My kitchen sink frittata was ok but nothing to rave home about, again, not much meat. The potatoes were a bit of an upset as well - pretty dry and tasted like they had been sitting out all night. Only pig I saw was in the name.

    A fairly good option for Sunday breakfast. A friend and I had heard great things about Pig & A Jelly Jar so we decided to give it a shot. It's a cute, quaint little place in an up-and-coming neighborhood. With a small amount of space there is only room for a few tables which would lead me to believe the service would be great. Unfortunately service was just okay and I hate to say it but the food was only okay as well. I had the Kitchen Sink Frittata and thought it was edible, my friend had the Chicken & Waffles (with an egg on top) and also thought it was just okay. Of the 3 specialty jelly's served to us only one was notable the others were just okay. I guess this review should be titled "Okay" because I have used that word a lot. While we hoped this place would be better then Okay it simply wasn't.

  • Emily R.

    I really want to like Pig in a Jelly Jar. Their coffee and home made jams are delicious. However, I've been there a few times and left disappointed every time. Once my bacon was so burnt it was inedible, and another time my chicken came out raw on my waffle. Also, the service could use a huge improvement. The servers are nice, when they make it around to your table, which can take a long time. Not worth the long wait on weekend mornings, in my opinion.

    (2)

  • Paula Rose W.

    Ate breakfast here recently with a good friend. I appreciate that they make a lot of their things in house, but the long wait is a bit puzzling. We were only 2 of 4 people in the restaurant and our order seemed to take forever. I really hope that this is just them working out the kinks in a new place. Also, the coffee could be SO much better. I know they are using a local roaster but the coffee does nothing for the food. I want to give this place another try soon so I can hopefully post an updated, hopefully better, review.

  • Blake P.

    Not impressed, unfortunately. Live nearby and was hoping for something I could go to often. Won't be going back. Wait staff was alright. Kinda slow. I had water poured on top of my sprite multiple times. I had the 'Pig Burger' and the bun was really soggy - the fries weren't good either - also limp and soggy. My wife had chicken & waffles and part of the chicken was still pink in the middle. Save yourself the visit and hit up Eggs in the City, Park Cafe or Blue Plate.

  • Steff T.

    Extremely slow service; some items may be worth the wait if you're not in a hurry (not sure which ones, other people food looked good). I had the mushroom & Brie frittata and expected something great but it was good, it wasn't spectacular. I give the food 3 out of 5 for creativity and the yummy potatoes. The service would be a 2 out of 5. I had to ask twice for a coffee refill and finally the hostess brought me some. We were never asked if we wanted our bellinis refilled; they certainly missed out on that revenue! There are better options around for good service; maybe I'll go back if I have a snack before and have a couple of hours to burn.

    This place rocks! I was worried with it being brand new that they might need to work out some kinks, but it was perfect. We both tried the frittatas, the Italian and the Mexican, with the chicken rosemary sausage. So so good. Awesome wait staff, cute interior, and a diverse and delicious menu. Park cafe is gonna have some serious breakfast and lunch competition in the neighborhood now. Can't wait to get back and try it all!

    I truly enjoyed Pig & a Jelly Jar. I visited mid-morning on a Saturday. The place was busy, but not completely full. Our waitress was incredibly attentive, very informative and kind. I had the vegetarian sink egg frittata. It was piping hot and delicious! Oh, the accompanying potatoes were so-so. My husband had the ham hash, as recommended by the waitress. He loved it! My daughter had the waffle, which she loved. I think the waffle was more savory than I like, but the cinnamon cream syrup made up for that. The place was really clean, as were the restrooms. They offer breakfast cocktails at 11:30, $4/mimosa! I will definitely come back and will recommend it to my friends.

  • Corinne R.

    Lovely new little joint! Fresh food and great service. We went for breakfast and got the Belgian waffle with cinnamon cream syrup and then used the blueberry lavender jam that was on the table as well. it was SO delightful. The waffle was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. And the combination of flavors with the cinnamon syrup and blueberry lavender jam hit the spot! My boyfriend ordered the Frenchie frittata and enjoyed it very much! The only thing that sort of bothered me was $4 for my glass of OJ. But other than that it was great!!

    A very quaint breakfast and lunch place. We came with a group of 5 on a Sunday. The place was full but we only had to wait about 10 minutes. While we waited our hostess brought us coffee to drink outside. I had the chicken and waffles and the girl had a beer battered fish and chips. Both were excellent and the chicken portion was a giant breast with a great crispy and well seasoned crust atop a fantastic fluffy and crispy waffle. Try this place. It's worth it

    My wife and I own a local business. We consider ourselves foodies. We heard about Pig and a Jelly Jar and really wanted to check it out. Being local we want to support local. The menu looks fun, heartwarming and creative. We loaded up and went to check it out at about 12:30 on a Sunday. When we entered, apparently in the wrong door (there were no markings to indicate which entrance is the main and it's on a corner lot) the host, with disdain, walked us over to the other door and asked how many were to be seated. We responded, "three please". She said it would probably be about 20 to 25 minutes and explained there is no waiting area and we would have to wait outside (it's 90 out) under some trees and hope one of the three tree stumps would become available or we could sit on some old mismatched chairs (most of which were wet from sprinklers) and assured us that she would come get us when our table was ready. Then a party of six arrived. She immediately addressed them and said she would have a table ready for them in ten minutes..... they had no reservation either.... hmmm? While outside, I overheard others talking about just leaving. They had kids and a larger group. Obviously not happy patrons. I've worked in a restaurant and know how crazy things get. In general I think others just need to relax and try to be understanding. Sometimes large groups are harder to seat than small. The host walked out a few times, sat smaller groups, and explained to others what was happening, but if you had a child (we did and so did two other groups) she wouldn't address you at all. After a couple times of being ignored, it was clear that they had segregated us. Then came the final straw. The six young hip men that came after us got sat...???? The host the turned to another couple (no kids) and said their table would be ready momentarily. My wife and I stood there looking face front to her (hoping to receive an explanation) and she walked past us without even saying a word. I was floored. So we walked to our car that was way down the street cause they don't have parking, and went to a place that wanted our money and didn't shun families. This restaurant is NOT family friendly. I've never been treated so badly for doing nothing wrong. We were kind and polite, our child is well behaved. We are in our thirties and very fashion forward. If it was just us that got ignored maybe it would've just been a misunderstanding. But no. They made a point loud and clear.

    I love this place. They make the best jam. Do yourself a favor and spend the 2 bucks on toast so you can slather it with blueberry lavender jam or strawberry coconut jam. Everything I have tried here is excellent. Servers are always super nice and the atmosphere is great.

    This was a great place for a Sunday meal... or any day of the week, for that matter! The chicken & waffles were tip-top and the B&B frittata was awesome!

    I loved this place. It's really small, but the space is used well. The food is delicious and different without being intimidating. The service was great, right up to the end.

    I love everything I have tried at Pig and a Jelly Jar. This place is starting to get really popular and for good reason. The PBR cocktails, at $3 a piece, are the perfect addition to my weekend brunch. the food is always fresh, priced affordably and delicious.

  • Julia L.

    I've had breakfast here twice now. I think it's a great little neighborhood spot with a lot going for it. I like the small size and the porcine decor. The coffee is good, which is a nice touch. In fact, I'd go so far as to say 'nice touches' are a defining P&JJ characteristic. The Chicken & Waffle is popular for good reason. The big succulent breast boasts heavy breading that is well seasoned. Mine crumbled off in a couple of spots, but that is bound to happen with an extra-crispy coat in this application. It just created little piles of syrup-soaked salty bits that I scooped up on top of waffle bites. At the time of this first visit the hot sauces on offer were Tabasco and Cholula. They have since started offering Frank's and Sriracha as well, the former being my preference for C&W. It marries quite nicely with the maple syrup in a way that elevates both. I could see Sriracha coming in second, with Tabasco and Cholula tied for a distant third. The waffle was solid; nothing too loud or boisterous, but a good platform for the chicken. C&W: B+ The B&B frittata contained bacon, walnuts, apple and bleu cheese bechamel. It's a killer combination on paper, but I found mine to be a little light on the bacon. I don't actually remember seeing any at all. Despite that, it tasted great. All of the frittatas arrive sizzling in little iron skillets with a side of potatoes. Incorporating the bleu cheese into the creamy bechamel really tamed its bite, allowing the walnuts and apples to come through, without totally neutering it. A couple of the walnuts peeking out of the top of the eggs got a good browning from the broiler, adding a nice deep toasty nuttiness to a few precious bites. B&B (sans B?): B The house potatoes need some work, I'm afraid. They're pointed in the right direction, with good seasoning and some added rosemary and onion, but they just aren't cooked consistently. All of our plates had a few cubes that were raw, and the rest seemed like they were cooked too long ago. Taters: C- The English Muffins appear homemade, and are served with a couple of house jams. I have had the Strawberry Coconut and the Blueberry Jalapeno. The strawberry was my favorite. It had nice berry brightness with a coconut shadow. Complex but accessible. To be honest, I couldn't really taste the jalapeno in the blueberry jam. Maybe it's with my frittata's bacon, smoking weed under the bleachers. Muffin: A; Jams: A- The service was great; friendly and casual but attentive. Perfectly suited to the place. A I don't understand the complaints about portion size. I thought they were fine. This isn't your typical greasy spoon hungover breakfast hole. These guys are going for something a little more mature, and the prices reflect that. It isn't Denny's cheap, but it's reasonable. And I'm very interested in the 3-course Sunday Supper. Another nice touch.

    Blueberry lavendar and strawberry coconut jam. YUMMO. Came here for brunch and it was amazing. The service was good, the jam was excellent! You can purchase a jar to go, which I highly recommend.

    So, Pig & A Jelly Jar... Cute name, hunh? It's a cute place too. Really cute. It feels lIke a neighborhood eatery, which I very much like. We yelped and were treated to a free order of toast & jelly with our check in. The jellies were absolutely delish! Our server was great. Friendly, attentive gave suggestions without being pushy. The toast & jelly and our service warrant five stars. Easily. The breakfast entrees are generous, they are plated attractively and look pretty amazing. The taste, overall, however is kinda just okay. Not super yum, or melt in your mouth goodness. Not bad. Definitely A~Okay. The Kitchen Sink three egg scramble, served in its own mini cast iron skillet was light and yummy. While I thought the potatoes were tasty, the Hubs did not. Our beignets looked great, but were crispy, overlooked. The waffles looked amazing (and the lemon curd was) but were kind of tasteless. Would I come back? Sure, I'd give them a second chance, I'd like to try a new menu item or two because I really want to like Pig & A Jelly Jar.

    This is a must visit in SLC... walked in and they were busy as Hell, the manager said it would be a bit. It was just my sister and I. we waited a bit and we got offered a seat on the bar top by the window. We waited a bit longer but someone came to help us out. We were blown away by the outstanding menu. I went chicken and waffle as most people recommended. Let me tell you... if you don't read anything else READ THIS: THE ABSOLUTE BEST DAM CHICKEN AND WAFFLE OUT THERE!!!! I would fly to SLC just to try it again. Friendly staff, great price, excellent food.... Love the PBR cocktails and MIMOSAS with fresh OJ are awesome... Check them out in SLC

    Came here on a whim after trying to eat at park cafe. They had a crazy wait as usual so turned to yelp and this place was right down the street, with decent reviews. Loved it! I had the ham hash, husband had chicken and waffles, sister had the breakfast sandwich, and my son had the bacon and eggs. They were all pretty amazing! The staff here is super kind - we eat out quite a bit and are constantly disappointed by bad waiters but jake was great. Really on top of everything. We will definitely be back!

    Clever but oddly executed sandwiches & dishes... If it was the only restaurant in town it would be the best in a small town; but with other choices in SLC screaming for attention..... The atmosphere is so-so. The food is better than Sysco ! Folks gotta try harder than just clever names... The name suggests that eating should be made fun of, maybe squish it all together like play-dough... Not a fan of the menu or food combinations... Has the potential to grow up with sprightly service and upgraded preparations.. Drinking from a mason jar is not charming to me....

  • Daniel P.

    Ok so we came on recommend from ksl, the chicken and waffle was fantastic well worth the trip, the bacon was delicious as was the coffee, now for the bad, I had the creole pork belly eggs benedict they definitely do not know how poach eggs they should be hot but runny and creamy both of mine were pretty much hard boiled making them nearly inedible, it also was shredded pork not pork belly, the sauce and seasonings were well done though, my wife had the pig breakfast and again problem with the she ordered over and they came out well done, her toast was burnt, and by the time the waitress came back she had eaten most of the chicken and waffle instead, the waitress also seemed very lacking in knowledge or care about the menu, business or anything in general. In conclusion come for the coffee and chicken and waffles avoid the rest.

    Service was spotty. Food was marginal. The chicken and waffles was amazing. The pulled pork sandwich you had to deconstruct to eat and to find something eddible. The pork however was so good. Spiced perfecyly. Completely tender. I wanted just can't bowl of it. The lavender jam and beignet's were to die for. Will try this place again when it's not so busy and see what we get.

    I love you Pig and a Jelly Jar. Came for the second time for my birthday brunch. Had chicken and waffles for the first time. The server suggested I top it with the maple syrup of course, but also with the hot sauce. I would never have done that, except he was insistent that I should try it. He was right and it was amazing. My husband had the Mexican scramble. It didn't look very good, but it tasted amazing. My 2 yr old son was happy with a side of fruit and some toast. Next time I'm going to try one of those PBR cocktails...

    Good thing this place has awesome service because their food was not good. The only things here that were good were the blueberry lavender jam and the OJ. Beignets are supposed to be light and fluffy and the ones here were hard as rocks. The gravy for the biscuits and gravy tasted like flour and milk. Its not good when your biscuits and your gravy have the same texture. Ham hash had too much aioli on top, so it was like the whole dish was swimming in it. Lastly the "pork belly" Benedict, this was the saddest of all...the pork belly was actually pulled pork, the whole benedict was covered in a gross red sauce creole sauce and the poached eggs were extremely underdone. Our server was awesome and listened to our feedback about the food, and expressed her apologies that we didn't like anything. Hopefully the feedback makes its way to the chef.

    The Pig is a fun place to go every once in a while- it's a fun kind of quirky. They have items on the menu that you won't find elsewhere, and they definitely care about their food. Some dishes work better than others, but they aren't mailing it in. Service was good considering how slammed they were (I couldn't have done any better), but realize that this place has a bit of a chaotic-but-cool-diner-feel when it gets busy.

    Sadness! We were stoked to bring our teenage foodie to Pig and a Jelly Jar while he was home from college, but alas it is closed until sometime in February due to a fire. This has been our go-to brunch spot since we arrived in SLC in August. Pleasant, uncrowded, and the food is delish. The menu leans a little closer to lunch than brunch, but whatever you get you will like. Daughter's favorite is the pulled pork sandwich (I snitch some of her fries), Hubby likes the chicken & waffle (which he gets without the fried egg on top. Maybe it seems to him like boiling the calf in its mother's milk, but I digress). I enjoy the ham hash and keep meaning to get the shortcake with homemade jam but I always get too full to order it. We will have to wait a little longer to try their Sunday Supper. I bet it will be worth the wait.

    I went here one morning because it was down the block from my friend's house . I got their version of egg Benedict with pork belly on english muffin or something like that. I don't remember what it was call. It was good for breakfast. I think it had kale on it. On the side I had what tasted like Cajun spiced potatoes . I didn't like the potato, it was almost like the dumped the spiced on it and it was kind of burnt. Maybe the spice was trying to cover the burnt taste ? I also had a side of orange juice . It was fresh squeeze and a bit pricey for a small glass and it clearly had sugar added to it . Other than that the ambiance and the service was nice. It was a unique little place . I might come back but if I do I'll order something else .

    Severely disappointed with both food and service here. Considering I love chicken and waffles I thought that I was sure to love this place but that was not the case. It looked and tasted like generic chicken and waffles. I would rather have saved the money and time and made my own at home. The jams were novel but not enough to make up for the rest of the restaurant. Service was slow. I asked for creamer with my coffee after it was brought out but the creamer didn't come until the rest of the food 20 min later. Then when my husband asked for hot sauce for his omelette they didn't bring it out until he was 3/4ths of the way done with it. Finally, after bringing out the check, we placed our card on the receipt and waited yet another 15 min for our server to pick it up and return with the card to leave. I wish the hype would have been real but it wasn't for me.

    come on, guys. what is going on in there? 30 minutes for a to-go order of a breakfast sandwich, one sad leftover gas station biscuit and a dry yogurt/granola situation with a single strawberry on top? what? why the one strawberry? sure, it was sliced up and spread out like a deck of cards in a kid's magic trick, but i can still tell it's one berry! throw a grape on there, maybe a blueberry! two or three berries would be a more respectable garnish, maybe even a whole handful would be appropriate for someone who likes eating food. i can't ask my boyfriend how his breakfast sandwich was because my jaw is glued shut from the biscuit. oh well. the waiter guy was nice and friendly.

    I love my breakfast food and it's hard to choose but this place definitely ranks in my top 3 places in Salt Lake. I got the kitchen sink... sausage, bacon, tomato, carmelized onions, peppers, kale, provolone, bloody mary salsa. Everything is priced nicely and you have good variety to choose from. You won't be disappointed!

    The Best Breakfast place for sure. Best Chicken &Waffles! This was the first time being there and it was awesome! I loved it. Please go and support this great place. Our server was amazing wish I remembered his name.

    My friends and I came here for brunch after an exam and half of us ordered the chicken and waffles while the other half ordered some sort of frittata. I am giving this place 5 stars for the following reasons: -The chicken and waffles were the best I've had in Utah . The chicken was crispy and tasty and the waffles complemented it perfectly. -I jokingly asked a friend to switch his chicken and waffles with mine because his piece of chicken was bigger than mine and one of the servers overheard and told me she would bring me another piece of chicken (wow!) -There were 7 of us at the table and they were willing to let every single one of us use the yelp deal ($5 for $10 worth of food) even though it says one per table. -all the servers were very attentive and considerate, making sure we always had water and letting us know when it would take a while for our bills to come since they have to split it 7 ways. Overall, I enjoyed the meal very much and the customer service was exceptional!

    Last night, I browsed through yelp looking for a new breakfast destination. Pig & A Jelly Jar is somewhere I've driven by many a time, but until today didn't think much of. From the outside, it appears quaint and low key, usually a perfect combination. I came here with three other people, all of us trying Pig for the first time. We were seated inside and based on the decor (or lack there of) I was initially underwhelmed. It was relatively cramped, but they seem to have utilized the small space quite well. In theory, the menu looks great. There's not much to dislike about comfort food. I noticed several vegetarian options, and settled on the Veggie Burger with fries. I was nearly ecstatic when our food finally came out. Which made it all the worse when I took the first bite only to realize it just wasn't what I was hoping for. Everything was okay, but very bland and lacking in flavor. Those who I was with had the Mexican Scramble, Three Bean Salad and the Chicken Biscuits. And while there where no complaints, the food just didn't seem to resonate with any of us. Perhaps Pig & A Jelly Jar is one of those places where you just have to know what to order. Regardless, it made for a pleasant but lackluster overall experience.

    I am on an "eat my way through Utah's best restaurants according to Salt Lake Magazine" kick. We decided to start with Pig and a Jelly Jar. We went today just before 9 am and there was one table available. I was thrilled because I have a slightly (really) impatient 4 year old son who doesn't enjoy food nearly as much as I would like him to. Long waits tend to make it even worse. We walked in and were seat immediately. A gentlemen seated us and he was so nice to our little guy, which is bonus points. Small restaurants cringe when they see energetic wee ones. There was a free toast deal on here, so we ordered the toast and jam. People go on and on about the jam. It's good. It's not blow my mind good. For a dollar, it is a really nice option if you are hungry and don't want to wait for the main course. You will wait for the main course. I have lived in Europe, so I know how to wait. Be prepared for a half and hour or so wait. So, not awful, but longer than most in the US. When our food came I was so excited. I had dreams of eggs benedict. I knew I would be ordering it. I wanted my hubs to order the chicken and waffles, because that was the second pick for me. He didn't. He ordered the pig breakfast with breakfast sausage. I eyed every order of chicken and waffles that passed our table. The boy ordered waffle a fix. After today I am completely aware I am an eggs benedict purist. Pulled pork and no hollandaise does not fit this bill. It wasn't awful but I wouldn't order it again. My husband loved his breakfast, especially the sausage. The waffle a fix was great. We ordered the fruit on the side. With cinnamon goo and maple syrup dipping. The cinnamon goo was amazing. The maple syrup was maple syrup so, delicious. Overall, we would go back. The service was excellent. We waited longer than you typically see but the staff is so nice. Two of the three dishes were home runs. I have future plans for another trip but this time I have my heart set on chicken and waffles.

    They do that thing where they ignore everyone at the front door, not making eye contact. Tables are open, but a large glut of people wait by the front door. After 20 minutes of no contact with staff, I had to leave.

    Chicken and waffles- seriously. SERIOUSLY!! This place is small but good lord is it delicious. Picture this... one waffle...one piece of perfectly seasoned friend chicken...covered in syrup and maybe some franks red hot. Oh wowie. I wish my stomach was bigger so I could have finished it all. I also had the Banana Cream Pie. This is not pie folks. Its deconstructed. Puff pastry, bananas, other sweet good things covered in whipped cream. It was also delicious. The service here was excellent. Our server was very nice and kept my coffee cup full. I will be coming here every weekend until I tire of chicken and waffles.

  • Nina C.

    I've heard nothing but good things about this place so I checked it out for V-Day lunch. Waiter was very friendly and hospitable at the beginning. Food was definitely sub-par. The best thing about the whole experience was the home-made jams. The Blueberry-Lavender was amazing. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken sliders and my boyfriend, the fish and chips. He didn't even finish his because the breading was unappetizing. My sliders were dry and needed a lot more sauce. Everything needed salt. It was a very expensive lunch for what we ate anyway and we had to practically hunt the server down to get our check when we were done. On the plus side though, i may have to go back for that jam..

  • Brett W.

    Ham hash topped with egg over easy, rye toast with three different homemade jams, and nice bottomless coffee. Awesome, perfect brunch combo and look forward to going back again someday. First time to SLC and this place was an absolute gem. Amazing service that made me tip 25% despite being a poor med student. The food and service were so good that I completely forgot to use the Yelp coupon I purchased prior to going. Obviously, I felt I got my money's worth without it.

    Very fun vibe. Awesome comfort food made from scratch. Chicken waffles were the bomb - and I'm a yogurt for breakfast guy. Also got the breakfast sandwich with house made sausage - that was my true favorite. Service was very friendly and prompt. Bathroom on the clean side for public use facility. I will be back.

  • Lisa M.

    Meh. It was okay. I would like to come back and try something different but for now just okay. The fried pickles were awesome but i ordered the Benedict and was pretty disappointed. I'm not sure why it holds the name Benedict there wasn't really anything benny about it. It said poached egg but the egg was fried. It was on toast not english muffin. The pork was pretty good. But no hollandaise. I gave it a go. Not a fan. Better luck next time.

    (3)

  • Michael And Masha M.

    Decent food overall, with one serious complaint: their "maple" syrup was corn syrup. Because of the artisanal vibe, we took them at their word and ruined the waffle with corn syrup and artificial flavorings. The jam was decent but is not made in-house either.

  • Candice S.

    This place is a real gem. Not only is the food delicious and interesting but the service is phenomenal. We showed up during the busiest time with 10 people plus babies. They were accommodating and patient. They split meals and split checks and were still smiling.

  • Ned S.

    First time in, the service was friendly. I expect servers to know what are the best items and this one delivered. I told her it was my first time in so she suggested I try their jam which was unique and tasty. I had the strawberry coconut jam. The pulled pork salad was excellent. The pork was tender and very tasty, the lettuce was fresh, and the portion was generous. The decor and atmosphere is edgy, I would go with my friends but not my kids.

  • Aditi H.

    This is really great place to get some good sunday brunch. Veggie options are great too. It is a little bit crowded for sure- shame that they don't have too much shade to sit outside. I don't think i saw anybody wait longer than 10-15 mins for a table. It is fairly loud in there if that bothers you. You could also hop into the southeast market across the street to pick some goodies.

    Uh...the service is just as good as the effing breakfast!!! Piggy husband had Pig Breakfast and Mama Pig (me) devoured Chicken and Waffles. I'm stuffed and ate like a pig. HIGHLY recommend this quaint, hip joint. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu. Blueberry Lavender jam was delicious as was Strawberry Coconut jam. I'm stuffed but ready to try more yummy items. As Arnold says "I'll be back."

  • Becky G.

    We really liked the food! Tried the chicken and waffles, toast with jam, and kitchen sink fritatta. The lavender blueberry jam was a little weird for us (a bit like soap), but the strawberry coconut jam was awesome! We were really impressed with all the menu options. I don't feel like our experience deserves a 5 star rating because of the cost and timeliness. Everything took such a long time. We went for lunch and it took over an hour, and there were only 3 tables being served at the time. Lunch time during a business day needs to be a lot faster than that. At the very least, I would have appreciated a little more attention in that area, let us linger if we want, but let us control the timetable, not the establishment. And it was a little pricey for lunch time. Our bill came to $27 before tip for two meals and 1 drink. They upsold us on adding 2 fried eggs to the chicken and waffles then charged us $4 for them. $4 for 2 fried eggs?? What? I get that it's a quaint, one of a kind, trendy place and that means you pay a little more for atmosphere and good ingredients. Just don't think the whole shebang was worth what we paid.

    I stopped in this morning because I read a good review and I am so glad I did! Great food, very nice staff, and a cool atmosphere. I ordered the 3 egg veggie scramble. They substituted egg whites for me. Very tasty! The sourdough toast and jams were awesome! I recommend the blueberry lavender jam., but the spiced peach and strawberry coconut jams are also very good. I will definitely be back!

  • Brooke L.

    Everything I have ordered here I have enjoyed. My favorite so far is the pork belly salad. I also really enjoy ordering a pot of herbal tea from the tea place next door to enjoy during my meal. At my last visit the waiter was incredibly friendly and really seemed to enjoy his job, which made our meal even more pleasant.

  • Kim T.

    Had to give this place another chance and I'm glad I did. This time there was 2 of us. Our waitress, Rachel, was very nice and attentive. I had the Kitchen Sink skillet, and the husband had poached eggs and their homemade sausage ... awesome! Both plates were at a perfect temperature, not cold this time, and the potatoes not overcooked. I also like the fact that they did offer me alternatives, at no charge, for not wanting potatoes or toast on my plate, and I landed up getting sliced tomatoes. The most amazing thing ever is their strawberry coconut jelly ... I'm sure I could eat the whole jar! The only thing I didn't like and sent back was the coffee. It was really bitter ... almost all the creamer and 2 packs of sugar sub couldn't help it. Will be back again!

  • Terry K.

    Chicken and waffles!! The waffles are warm and fluffy and the chicken is seasoned to perfection, so moist, so good! This place is a tad bit small and you usually have to wait for a table because it is always so busy, but it's worth it. Very friendly servers, it is a little hard to find parking because they have very limited parking spaces for customers. Definitely a place you need to check out!

    I would describe our dining experience at Pig and A Jelly Jar using one word... Meh. It started off strong with their fried pickles. They were tart and the breading and sauce were good. We also tried a waffle with cinnamon cream and syrup. Very tasty. But our sandwiches were very underwhelming. The pork belly "blt" was a huge disappointment. I was expecting the pork belly to be nice and crisp but it was more like pulled pork. Also, the bread was dry and burnt and the pimento cheese didn't really mesh with the sandwich. I chose the baked beans for my side and it tasted like they dumped in a bunch of sriracha to make them spicy. My husband had the fried chicken sandwich based on our waiter's recommendation. The chicken had a nice breading on it and was flavorful but the sandwich itself was very dry. The lemon aioli was basically non-existent and the tomato was terrible. Obviously no one is paying attention to quality control in the kitchen. He got the potato salad with his sandwich and we both liked that very much. All in all, our meal was very forgettable.

  • Ariane A.

    Ham hash was really good. Our server James? Or Jon? Was exceptional. Good latte. Beignets were mediocre. Probably because it wasn't what I was expecting like they have in the south. But I would definitely come back again.

    Cool location. Cool looking space but too small. Waited for quite a while to be seated. Friendly staff. Food was ok but not super memorable. Wouldn't go back on my own but if a friend was insistent I suppose I'd oblige. The fritata served in mini cast iron skillets was cool.

  • Kate M.

    We recently came for a first time visit. Hard to wait, since there's not very much room out the door. Hostess / wait staff weren't very organized about seating, so unfortunately our wait was longer than it needed to be, even after we spoke up about seating some people while others were still waiting. (all parties of 2). Once we sat down, we tried to forget about our annoyance at this. Service was quick about ordering, but slow to deliver, a fact we forgave since the place was pretty packed. The chicken and waffles was really good, and we enjoyed all the jams we tried (we sampled some from the table next to us as well). I tasted one of their special frittatas, and that was really nice, perfectly cooked and balanced as far as the ingredients go. I'll be back to try more breakfast things, but I'll have to be more pushy about getting a table.

    It had been awhile since we had visited Pig & A Jelly Jar. They have recently expanded their hours several days a week to include dinner. I decided to revisit what they are known for and have the chicken and waffles, I was not disappointed. My husband had the same. My daughters boyfriend tried the burger with bacon jam , it was a keeper ( we like the boyfriend too). Fries were crispy and full of flavor ( mainly garlic). The chicken was a star all by itself , perfect crunch, I loved that it was boneless so much easier to eat and perfectly moist. I love having this little gem in my neighborhood , we will be back.

    My company does work for this place, and I've been meaning to try it. First the positive in that we went on a Sunday and the wait was like 10 minutes. We realized why....because the servers are pushing to get as many out possible. We sat down and the unfriendly server came over and and asked what we wanted to drink, we asked about the liquor menu on the table. She said "oh you can't order from that until 11:30am...." Ok so why do you have a liquor menu on the table before 11:30am?! She immediately takes our order after that. 5 minutes later our food comes out, and I'm like "wow that is insanely quick...." The chicken and waffles I had were blah...no flavor to the waffle and the chicken was just ok. The buffalo sliders my wife had were not bacon wrapped as the menu said, and they came with this disgusting fry sauce that tasted like it was made from pickle juice. Everything needed salt. Also the server never asked if everything was good for us. And when we received our check the coffee I had was $3. If I wanted a $3 coffee I would go to starbucks.

    We were celebrating our anniversary and looking for a good alternative to the $50 a plate Grand America buffet. Found it on yelp and decided to give it a try. This place reminds me a lot of Hash House a Go Go in Vegas, and that's a good thing. I ordered the Chicken and waffles and my wife ordered the fritatta. We also ordered fresh OJ. Very well season and perfectly cooked chicken on a crisp waffle. The frittata came out steaming hot with potatoes on the side. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, the service, and the ambiance. Will definitely return, well done!

    Had the chicken + waffles and biscuits + gravy. Gravy was awesome and biscuits had nice rosemary flavor, but chicken was pretty bland and tasted unseasoned. The breading was very good though. The waffle was pretty tasteless and meh too. That said, the person next to me ordered fried green tomatoes and they looked amazing, jam was great and I plan to go back here soon.

    One of the most interesting places I've ever eaten. After spending a week in the south, I developed a taste for chicken and waffles. I came to this place the first time for the express purpose of consuming said dish. The chicken and waffles here were actually better than the stuff I ate in Georgia. It was also here that I learned how to properly eat, this, one of my new favorite dishes. A plate of chicken and waffles should be consumed with hot sauce and a fried egg on top. Keep that in mind. Furthermore, I have sampled their waffles with a type of lavender jelly that was simply divine. The indie atmosphere and delicious food make Pig & Jelly Jar one of my favorite places in this city.

    Pig & A Jelly Jar is a cute, local restaurant located near the trendy 9th and 9th area of Salt Lake City. Although there isn't much seating inside, there was no wait for a table on a Sunday morning. I expect on Saturdays it's a different story, so plan to wait or show-up early. One of the their specialities is chicken and waffles. Since I'd never had chicken and waffles and I'd always wanted to try them I ordered up a plate. The waffle was light and crispy and the chicken was breaded lightly and cooked really well. With the addition of some maple syrup the chicken and waffle together were absolutely delicious! I really loved it and I'm eager to try it again. My wife ordered the ham hash and she said it was also really good. Our waitress was friendly and quick to take our order, bring our our food, and refill our glasses throughout the meal. Great food and good service, what more could you want? Pig & A Jelly Jar is definitely a restaurant worth visiting!

    Stress in a natural part of life. It comes in many forms, and at many different times, none of which are convenient. It may take the form of a treacherous exam, stalking your hard-earned grade like prey on safari. Perhaps your stress comes from a professor who has sworn to destroy all happiness in your life. Or so it seems. I swear sometimes they make pacts to see how many students they can force into mental collapse. Whatever your source of stress, it's important to take a step back, breathe and eat some comfort food. "But wait!" you're saying. "Eating your feelings is a bad thing. Psychologists have told us this time and again. It's irresponsible." I will be the first to hypothesize that there is nothing a good meal and a hot shower can't fix. How about it, science? Let's find a cure-all. While comfort food might not fix your grade, or cure more serious problems like schizophrenia or cancer, it can heal the nicks and bumps that occur in a person's mental and emotional state during their time in stressful situations (read: college). Luckily for you, I've found the happy marriage between elevated cuisine and comfort food, and it's right next to Liberty Park. Pig and a Jelly Jar sits on the corner of 400 E. and 900 S. in the chic Sugarhouse district of Salt Lake. It has been chronically busy since its crowning of Best Comfort Food in the 2013 Dining Awards. One taste of the food, and you'll quickly see why. Let's start with my dish: the Kitchen Sink Frittata. The name is precisely accurate, as the dish had sausage, bacon, tomato, onion, peppers, mushrooms, spinach and provolone, topped with Bloody Mary salsa. It was perfectly delicious. With all of the ingredients going in the pan, I was a little worried that they might not be cooked the way they should be. For those of you who have never tried making a multifaceted egg dish, consider how differently spinach and sausage cook, or bacon and mushrooms, and you can imagine the precise timing that would be needed to pull off such a dish. I'm happy to report that they hit it right on the head. The frittata was light and fluffy, with the grocery list of ingredients layered to perfection. The Bloody Mary salsa was an intriguing American twist on a Mexican staple. It had a great deal of flavor, and was the perfect accompaniment to the complex load of flavors. I thought I had found the best thing in the restaurant when I smugly asked my wife how her chicken and waffle was. She said it was delicious. Thinking there was no way that it could beat my frittata, I dove into the Southern classic. I was wrong. This was by far the best chicken and waffle I'd ever had. The Belgian waffle was crispy and flaky, but I couldn't pay attention to it. Sitting atop the delectable waffle was one of the biggest boneless chicken breasts I'd ever seen, fried and tossed in a house blend that would make any chef proud. The chicken and waffle combo was topped with maple syrup and hot sauce, and perched atop the tower of deliciousness was a single fried egg. It was one of the best dishes I've ever had. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the succulence of the meat paired with the seasoning and sauces sang. The egg tied the whole dish together with a savory bow that made me wonder if the other competitors for the comfort food award were still in business. Judging by the status of the restaurant, however, I would say they are. To quote "Hell's Kitchen's" Gordon Ramsay, "bloody good food needs bloody good service!" Unfortunately for Pig and a Jelly Jar, the service of the staff made the restaurant break just above even. We waited nearly 45 minutes for our food, and while it was good, it was quite the wait. I would have let that go, but we proceeded to wait another 30 minutes after our plates had been cleared for our check. I eventually walked up and explained that we needed to leave and got out. The waitstaff seemed frantic, and as good as the food was, it left a bad taste in my mouth. Overall, I will be back. Food that good with service that poor is confusing, so I'm assuming they had a bad day. If you have stresses you can't seem to tackle, I might recommend a heavy dose of chicken and waffles, so long as your stress isn't based around not having enough time. For a full menu or to make reservations, go to pigandajellyjar.com . So go eat, and be happy.

    A semi-unique menu, great service, and pretty good food. Besides my Pig Burger coming out well-done when I ordered it medium, everything was quite good. The server was quick to respond to my 'plight', and had a new juicy burger out to me in good time. Next time, I'll order the regular burger; I thought I was in a bleu cheese mood, but apparently, I wasn't. The fries were fresh, nice and crispy (double fry method). My friend's ham hash was your standard meat egg and potatoes breakfast fare, but for the aioli which was quite nice, lemony and a real game changer for the hash, for my french fries, and even for my burger. Overall, a great experience, and I'm pretty sure I'll be back.

    It's OK. But not fabulous, not earth shattering, and frankly a bit hipster. I did not love my dish - it was freezing cold and flavorless. I mentioned it and the waitstaff were darling and promptly brought something else that was much better. But I'd rather go to the Olympian or the Blue Plate instead.

    The food is quite good and so is the service. The only reason I didn't give it 4 stars was because the location is a bit small and parking can be tough. Definitely recommended.

    I have been to the Pig & Jelly Jar a few times. I have had the the pork belly BLT which was overpowered by the cheese. On another occasion I had the chicken and waffles, the chicken was over seasoned and the waffles lacked flavor. While the food has been consistently lackluster the service has been consistently superb. In all honesty it is the service that bumped my review from 2 to 3 stars.

    Amazing food! The fried chicken had so much flavor, so definitely recommend the chicken and waffles. We're from LA, so was different for us to wait till 11:30am to drink alcohol. Great overall comfort food. Just gave them 4 stars due to our server continuously forgetting to bring us stuff we requested, though they were really nice overall

    Found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try. We weren't disappointed. Jake was fabulous and, although we didn't try his recommendations this time, we will next time. The kitchen sink was yummy with the bacon adding a lot of good flavor and the kale was not bitter. The potatoes could have used more salt but that was an easy fix. My husband had the Mexican and liked it. The beignets were tasty but the jelly that was served with them -perfect!

  • Anne N.

    It was very good. I love the atmosphere. It was very cozy. The staff was very courteous and respectful. I love their egg benedict with their homemade sauce. We tried their homemade jam which was super good. It had a special mix of coconut and berry. I got the burger which was well seasoned and no need to put on extra sauce. The service was fast and prompt.

    We have been trying to find "our spot" for breakfast since we moved here two years ago. This morning we found it!! The chicken and waffles were excellent and the chicken biscuits were phenomenal, but don't forget to get a side of the sausage gravy...it takes it to a whole new level as our super fantastic waiter Nicholas told us. Nicholas was also one of the best waiters we have had in salt lake and the rest of the wait staff seemed just as on it. Sooooo if you want an all around fabulous experience....eat here and get a beer with breakfast ;)

    Waffles were fine. But, Not a good value. Don't get the Eggs "Benedict" unless you'd like a salad with your breakfast.

  • Ilana K.

    This is our second time here. The first time I had the waffles and fried chicken and he had bacon eggs and potatoes. The second time I had a pulled pork sandwich and he had the kitchen sink skillet, we shared an appetizer of fried pickles. Both times it was okay but the flavors were lacking and I have experienced much better elsewhere so while it was okay I think for a more satisfying meal I will look elsewhere.

  • Rachel O.

    My husband and I went here about a year ago, and breakfast sandwich blew us away. This morning, we decided to go again, and boy, were we disappointed. There was no host to take our names down when we got there, and that was awkward. We ordered the bfast sandwich and the Creole Pork Belly Benedict. Both were pretty much awful, and I'm sad to say that because we REEEEALLY want to love this place. However, on the Benedict, the poached eggs had hard yolks, the bread was soggy, the pork belly was tough, the kale was raw, and it was topped with a salsa that tasted like Pace picante sauce. The side of potatoes were nicely crisped, but they were cold. The only good things about the meal were our lovely waitress and the coffee. I really want you to succeed, Pig and a Jelly Jar, but you've gotta up your cooking chops.

  • Rebecca S.

    Try their tomato jalapeno jelly! Pig & a Jelly Jar has a really fun, casual environment and they do a good job of bringing authentically southern breakfast food to SLC. Highlights: the B&B, chicken and waffles, and various jellies.

  • Nick S.

    Went there after the expansion was built. Horrible service! Yes they were busy, but once we got seated we weren't acknowledged by a server for 15 minutes. He didn't check on us one time after we got our food until I had to call for him across the restaurant for more water and our check. My waffle was cold, the potatoes were gross, and they over-season everything! Will never go here again.

  • Maria E.

    The food and atmosphere was awesome! I loved the music that played during our whole visit. I had the pig breakfast & my boyfriend got the chicken & waffles. Both were AMAZING! A big letdown was the service unfortunately. We waited almost 30 minutes to receive our food, and our server didn't stop to check in on us once; not to refill our waters or to let us know the status of our food. We were probably just unlucky and got a unsatisfactory server. Like I mentioned the food was great, and I only wish the serving sizes were larger in that respect! I probably will eat here again, just not for a while.

    I never would have tried this place being a vegetarian and all but I went with my boyfriend and we really enjoyed our meals! They have a few vegetarian friendly options. To all of my fellow "rabbit food people" don't be put off by the name! Step inside. I tried the veggie burger and it was good. The fries were homemade! Bonus points to Pig and a Jelly Jar

  • Natalie T.

    Dude. Their chicken 'n waffles is a game-changer. Their Ham Hash is always spot on, too. Amazing. Also, their homemade jams are out of control. Strawberry-coconut? Yes, please! This is an awesome spot for weekend brunch, and their PBR bloody mary's and mimosas are pretty stellar, too. Two thumbs way up!

  • Kimberly S.

    Pig & A Jelly Jar is a solid place to nab some breakfast. It's been gaining in popularity over the past few years, so if you show up after 10 am, expect to wait a while. The wait is really my biggest complaint. I love the ham hash and find it to be de-lish. My husband can't get enough of the chicken and waffles, which is the popular dish here. We have gone several times, and we certainly will be back.

    My hubby and I walked to PAAJJ this morning for breakfast after much anticipation and excitement for a new breakfast place near our house. I was a bit disappointed, but my man loved it. The place was bright, clean, and still had the new car smell. The walls are a light blue and I kinda felt like I was in a baby boys nursery, weird I know. So we were told to sit where we wish, and I chose a table for two against the wall, with my side being the booth side. It was kinda awkward since the booth was a bit higher than the table, so I was hunched over most the time to eat. I ordered the "waffle pick-n-fix" with cinnamon cream topping and fresh fruit, and the hubbs got the chicken apricot rosemary sausage grinder with fries. It came to the table in a decent amount of time, and it looked good presentation wise. My waffle had some cinnamon cream on it I guess, it seemed minimal and I couldn't really taste it. The fresh fruit was one strawberry cut into fours, and two small slices of pineapple. It just looked lonely on the plate. Though my husbands plate looked nice, the fries looked like they were house made as did the sausage. My waffle was crisp on the outside and cutting into it was a delight to my senses, but dang it when I bit into it, it was so doughy it was hard to swallow. I ate 1/4 of it to try and give it a fair shot, but ended up giving it to my husband, and he gave me the other half of his slider. The slider was really tasty, I love caramelized onions and the brie was a nice mild addition. The casing on the sausage was a little tough but other than that it was really good. After the first 5 mins of the plate being on the table the fries were pretty soggy and gross so most of them didn't get eaten. Our waitress was meh. She was kinda disorganized and blah. So nothing great to say there. I left feeling defeated, I really wanted a nice breakfast and I ended up eating an ok lunch. We will go back so I can give it another shot, I'm hoping the second visit will be more favorable cause I was really wanting it to be good. Until then, Park Cafe is my haven.

    Ham hash was good-1/2 order is plenty. Pulled pork sandwich was good also. Baked beans were way under seasoned. Service started out slow but got better. Strawberry shortcake in a small jar was good but a little hard to eat.

    So...Pig and A Jelly Jar just opened and these are my initial impressions after having breakfast. The restaurant is owned by the owners of Meditrina (never been). It is located a couple blocks Liberty Park in a cozy corner lot. Seating comprises of tables, half booths, and bar seating around the windows and at a bar. It appears to be primarily a breakfast joint with some lunch items till 3:30 7 days a week. On Sunday, Pig and A Jelly Jar serves dinner with a 3 course family style meal, which seems interesting. On to the important stuff...the food! I told my server that I was thinking about the chicken and waffles and if there was anything else I should consider. She recommended the frittatas, but said I should definitely go with the chicken and waffles. I went all in. Side dishes like hash browns did not come with the meal, but do not worry. The portion is more than enough as you can see in the picture. The chicken was juicy, extra crispy, and very large. The waffle was fluffy and fairly standard. I think they add just the right amount of syrup, but next time I think I will get it on the side (master of your domain...correct). As with any chicken and waffle dish, plenty of the standard hot sauces are available. As a whole, I really enjoyed the chicken and waffles compared to other places in the Salt Lake City area. The chicken is not on the bone which I wish was an option and it might be, but I didn't ask. I noticed they do not have omelets, which I wish was an option. The coffee comes from the Salt Lake Roasting Company and is endless which is always a plus :) Unfortunately, they do not serve mimosas or blood marys, but we are in Utah and those liquor licenses are hard to come by :( The servers were welcoming and very nice. The bathrooms are clean. There is plenty of parking on the streets, but I didn't see a parking lot other than the three spots in the front. Wifi is not currently available. I liked the laid back atmosphere of the restaurant and could picture myself coming here for brunch on a Saturday or Sunday after some time at Liberty Park. I will be back to try other dishes such as the ham hash and the homemade sausage is on my list of items to try in the future. Their lunch items consist of sandwiches and grinders. Pig and A Jelly Jar has been added to the many options of breakfast and brunch places in SLC that I will recommend. So swing by and grab some coffee and breakfast.

    Went here for breakfast on a Saturday and it was very good. I had the chicken and waffle, and my fiance had the b&b frittata (bacon, bleu cheese, apple, walnut). The chicken was so moist inside with a perfectly crunchy outside. The waffle was perfectly done too- crunchy and crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The frittata was very nice and fluffy, with a nice blend of flavors and good presentation. The food service was a little slow and the frittata's side of cottage fries didn't show up til the end, but I think that was just because lots of people showed up at once. The restaurant is really cute, if every table was full it might feel a little crowded though. I will definitely be back!

  • Jennifer B.

    Great concept, amazing food, and fun vibe. This is a spot for a casual breakfast or lunch. I had the pork belly BLT (you had me at pork belly) and the roasted red pepper soup, let's just say my tummy is very happy and my taste buds are singing!!! So the concept here, breakfast and lunch daily and Sunday dinner. Cool. Staples are Pork dishes, Chicken and Waffles, beer, beer cocktails, flavored mimosas, and home made jelly! The jelly flavors change regularly and you can buy 8oz jars!!! Even more cool. My waitress said they are busiest on the weekend which makes sense. However there's not usually more than a 30 min wait which is surprising because it's pretty cozy inside. Definitely recommend.

  • Chris L.

    I love the big communal table in the middle, felt like we're having a big family country meal. This place was great in accommodating our large party and was really nice about random couple of people showing up late and having to add chairs. Great vibe. Now to the important part....BEST CHICKEN AND WAFFLE I've ever had. Amazing. The chicken was so juicy and crispy with just the right amount of saltiness. The boneless chicken complimented the waffle really well. The sweet and savory flavor of the chicken and waffle was heaven in my mouth. If you live in SLC please go here and try this. If you don't live here please fly or drive there and try this. Everyone in our table love it as well.

  • Bailey M.

    Great little breakfast place. I've been here about 4 times now and try something different every time. The frittata's are awesome. Straight out of the skittle just chock-full of breakfast goodness. If you're looking to get a good chicken and waffles fix, this is a good place to hit up. Best I've had in Utah, so far. Service has always been outrageously friendly. Honestly, whenever my friends from out of town want to go eat somewhere for lunch, I take them here or suggest it. It has never disappointed.

  • Liz L.

    The menu looked great and there wasn't much of a wait for sunday brunch. However, after we ordered it took a very long time for the food to come out, a long time to get the check, and a long time for them to give our cards back. I got the pig breakfast with eggs bacon and potatoes and my friends ordered egg dishes as well. We all thought the eggs were very oily and the bacon was very fatty with hardly any meat. I was excited that they served Charming Beard coffee because normally it is the best coffee in salt lake, but they must have somehow managed to brew it wrong or it was old, I have no idea, but it was not good. We probably wont go back.

    Blueberry lavendar and strawberry coconut jam. YUMMO. Came here for brunch and it was amazing. The service was good, the jam was excellent! You can purchase a jar to go, which I highly recommend. The food was a good portion and filled us up until dinner time. Wish we could've gone twice in one trip, but our time was limited, otherwise, I would have eaten there again.

    I am a huge fan and judging by my waist size...That's no lie :) Chicken and waffles with a fried egg on top is my go to :) But if i need to shake out the cobwebs from a late night :) you can't go wrong with the biscuits and gravy:) Get there early to beat the crowd because this place gets PACKED...As it should They added a full size patio for the warm weather. One of my favorite spots in SLC :)

  • Michael S.

    Just like everyone else, the chicken and waffles is the best. I can't get enough of them. Especially with an egg on top. Absolutely fantastic comfort food. I just have to say it again: the best chicken and waffles I've had in Salt Lake. I've also had the B&B scrambler and the biscuits and gravy. They were both really good, but I keep coming back for the chicken & waffles. As far as their jams go I much prefer the strawberry coconut. It's pretty tasty on their rye toast. And our server Jake is fantastic. We request him every time we come and he's working. He's just absolutely fantastic. Jake + Pig's chicken and waffles = best dining experience in SLC.

  • Elle P.

    So, Pig & A Jelly Jar... Cute name, hunh? It's a cute place too. Really cute. It feels lIke a neighborhood eatery, which I very much like. We yelped and were treated to a free order of toast & jelly with our check in. The jellies were absolutely delish! Our server was great. Friendly, attentive gave suggestions without being pushy. The toast & jelly and our service warrant five stars. Easily. The breakfast entrees are generous, they are plated attractively and look pretty amazing. The taste, overall, however is kinda just okay. Not super yum, or melt in your mouth goodness. Not bad. Definitely A~Okay. The Kitchen Sink three egg scramble, served in its own mini cast iron skillet was light and yummy. While I thought the potatoes were tasty, the Hubs did not. Our beignets looked great, but were crispy, overlooked. The waffles looked amazing (and the lemon curd was) but were kind of tasteless. Would I come back? Sure, I'd give them a second chance, I'd like to try a new menu item or two because I really want to like Pig & A Jelly Jar.

    This is a must visit in SLC... walked in and they were busy as Hell, the manager said it would be a bit. It was just my sister and I. we waited a bit and we got offered a seat on the bar top by the window. We waited a bit longer but someone came to help us out. We were blown away by the outstanding menu. I went chicken and waffle as most people recommended. Let me tell you... if you don't read anything else READ THIS: THE ABSOLUTE BEST DAM CHICKEN AND WAFFLE OUT THERE!!!! I would fly to SLC just to try it again. Friendly staff, great price, excellent food.... Love the PBR cocktails and MIMOSAS with fresh OJ are awesome... Check them out in SLC

    Came here on a whim after trying to eat at park cafe. They had a crazy wait as usual so turned to yelp and this place was right down the street, with decent reviews. Loved it! I had the ham hash, husband had chicken and waffles, sister had the breakfast sandwich, and my son had the bacon and eggs. They were all pretty amazing! The staff here is super kind - we eat out quite a bit and are constantly disappointed by bad waiters but jake was great. Really on top of everything. We will definitely be back!

  • Mark G.

    Clever but oddly executed sandwiches & dishes... If it was the only restaurant in town it would be the best in a small town; but with other choices in SLC screaming for attention..... The atmosphere is so-so. The food is better than Sysco ! Folks gotta try harder than just clever names... The name suggests that eating should be made fun of, maybe squish it all together like play-dough... Not a fan of the menu or food combinations... Has the potential to grow up with sprightly service and upgraded preparations.. Drinking from a mason jar is not charming to me....

  • Daniel P.

    Ok so we came on recommend from ksl, the chicken and waffle was fantastic well worth the trip, the bacon was delicious as was the coffee, now for the bad, I had the creole pork belly eggs benedict they definitely do not know how poach eggs they should be hot but runny and creamy both of mine were pretty much hard boiled making them nearly inedible, it also was shredded pork not pork belly, the sauce and seasonings were well done though, my wife had the pig breakfast and again problem with the she ordered over and they came out well done, her toast was burnt, and by the time the waitress came back she had eaten most of the chicken and waffle instead, the waitress also seemed very lacking in knowledge or care about the menu, business or anything in general. In conclusion come for the coffee and chicken and waffles avoid the rest.

  • Haley K.

    Service was spotty. Food was marginal. The chicken and waffles was amazing. The pulled pork sandwich you had to deconstruct to eat and to find something eddible. The pork however was so good. Spiced perfecyly. Completely tender. I wanted just can't bowl of it. The lavender jam and beignet's were to die for. Will try this place again when it's not so busy and see what we get.

    I love you Pig and a Jelly Jar. Came for the second time for my birthday brunch. Had chicken and waffles for the first time. The server suggested I top it with the maple syrup of course, but also with the hot sauce. I would never have done that, except he was insistent that I should try it. He was right and it was amazing. My husband had the Mexican scramble. It didn't look very good, but it tasted amazing. My 2 yr old son was happy with a side of fruit and some toast. Next time I'm going to try one of those PBR cocktails...

  • Mrs. D.

    Good thing this place has awesome service because their food was not good. The only things here that were good were the blueberry lavender jam and the OJ. Beignets are supposed to be light and fluffy and the ones here were hard as rocks. The gravy for the biscuits and gravy tasted like flour and milk. Its not good when your biscuits and your gravy have the same texture. Ham hash had too much aioli on top, so it was like the whole dish was swimming in it. Lastly the "pork belly" Benedict, this was the saddest of all...the pork belly was actually pulled pork, the whole benedict was covered in a gross red sauce creole sauce and the poached eggs were extremely underdone. Our server was awesome and listened to our feedback about the food, and expressed her apologies that we didn't like anything. Hopefully the feedback makes its way to the chef.

  • Chris S.

    The Pig is a fun place to go every once in a while- it's a fun kind of quirky. They have items on the menu that you won't find elsewhere, and they definitely care about their food. Some dishes work better than others, but they aren't mailing it in. Service was good considering how slammed they were (I couldn't have done any better), but realize that this place has a bit of a chaotic-but-cool-diner-feel when it gets busy.

    This place is awesome! We came based on the yelp reviews and we were not disappointed! My husband is from South Louisiana and is very picky when a place claims Cajun but he cannot stop talking about this place. We are looking forward to coming back!

    Sadness! We were stoked to bring our teenage foodie to Pig and a Jelly Jar while he was home from college, but alas it is closed until sometime in February due to a fire. This has been our go-to brunch spot since we arrived in SLC in August. Pleasant, uncrowded, and the food is delish. The menu leans a little closer to lunch than brunch, but whatever you get you will like. Daughter's favorite is the pulled pork sandwich (I snitch some of her fries), Hubby likes the chicken & waffle (which he gets without the fried egg on top. Maybe it seems to him like boiling the calf in its mother's milk, but I digress). I enjoy the ham hash and keep meaning to get the shortcake with homemade jam but I always get too full to order it. We will have to wait a little longer to try their Sunday Supper. I bet it will be worth the wait.

    I love my breakfast food and it's hard to choose but this place definitely ranks in my top 3 places in Salt Lake. I got the kitchen sink... sausage, bacon, tomato, carmelized onions, peppers, kale, provolone, bloody mary salsa. Everything is priced nicely and you have good variety to choose from. You won't be disappointed!

  • Dream N.

    I went here one morning because it was down the block from my friend's house . I got their version of egg Benedict with pork belly on english muffin or something like that. I don't remember what it was call. It was good for breakfast. I think it had kale on it. On the side I had what tasted like Cajun spiced potatoes . I didn't like the potato, it was almost like the dumped the spiced on it and it was kind of burnt. Maybe the spice was trying to cover the burnt taste ? I also had a side of orange juice . It was fresh squeeze and a bit pricey for a small glass and it clearly had sugar added to it . Other than that the ambiance and the service was nice. It was a unique little place . I might come back but if I do I'll order something else .

    Severely disappointed with both food and service here. Considering I love chicken and waffles I thought that I was sure to love this place but that was not the case. It looked and tasted like generic chicken and waffles. I would rather have saved the money and time and made my own at home. The jams were novel but not enough to make up for the rest of the restaurant. Service was slow. I asked for creamer with my coffee after it was brought out but the creamer didn't come until the rest of the food 20 min later. Then when my husband asked for hot sauce for his omelette they didn't bring it out until he was 3/4ths of the way done with it. Finally, after bringing out the check, we placed our card on the receipt and waited yet another 15 min for our server to pick it up and return with the card to leave. I wish the hype would have been real but it wasn't for me.

    Because who doesn't love beignets... puff pastry, powdered sugar, blueberry lavendar jam. Plus it has a catchy name and a cute pig logo. Chicken and waffles are always great there!

    come on, guys. what is going on in there? 30 minutes for a to-go order of a breakfast sandwich, one sad leftover gas station biscuit and a dry yogurt/granola situation with a single strawberry on top? what? why the one strawberry? sure, it was sliced up and spread out like a deck of cards in a kid's magic trick, but i can still tell it's one berry! throw a grape on there, maybe a blueberry! two or three berries would be a more respectable garnish, maybe even a whole handful would be appropriate for someone who likes eating food. i can't ask my boyfriend how his breakfast sandwich was because my jaw is glued shut from the biscuit. oh well. the waiter guy was nice and friendly.

    I don't usually start my reviews with a summation, but in this case, for the sake of clarity, I will: one step short of a disaster. It's hard for me to decide where to start with, so I'll begin with some things that won't affect the actual rating. Parking here is a nightmare. If the Tea Grotto is open and you don't get there right away, you will have to wind up with a grace window to get close parking at all. The servers are generally nice, but barely average. Our best service came from a guy who wasn't our server at all, but was on loan or something from The Park Cafe, a place that incidentally has worlds better service and food. This place is also very small, fills up fast and there is nowhere inside to wait. That aside, the place is always packed (mostly, from what we experienced, due to ineptness). Our service started as reasonable for the appetizer, despite us having to re-order stuff repeatedly to get it at all, then went to slow, then went to excessively slow, then to unreasonably slow, then nearly to the point where I was considering walking. Given that I really wanted to try this vaunted chicken & waffle thing, I didn't, but we were there well over an hour (always fun to watch other people who walk in after you get served sooner), most of which we did not only not have our food but didn't have food of any kind and that sorely taxed my three year old's patience. Do not bring children there unless you're masochistic (or possibly sadistic alternately, I guess). There is not a children's menu and the obvious angling is towards the hipster set. The menu, however, is not especially, but is intended to be some sort of Southern angle. This means stuff like fried pickles (don't bother, though the breading and ranch were both good) and the aforementioned chicken and waffles. Evidently, I either need to start eating from the plates of these high raters or develop a more tolerant set of taste buds, but the waffle was bland, the syrup also bland and the chicken itself, though mostly well cooked, also not very good. This was overall extremely substandard and not helped at all that it was served cold, so cold, in fact, that the butter had melted and re-formed in a couple of the waffles squares before I got it. My wife got the worst end. Her entree (forget which - some sort of breakfast sandwich) was also held too long and arrived cold, her tomato jelly was tasteless and sogged up the part of the bun it touched and the other side was entirely burnt. It seriously looked like charcoal. The bacon, however, was undercooked. Lovely. This sort of points up the biggest problem with this place, which is execution. Drainage of the fried items was minimal, if at all. We got a side of fries for our son, but by that time, he had no interest in eating anything, let alone fries again completely slick with un-drained grease. By far the best thing I had was the green tea, which was from the Tea Grotto next door. All in all, for $50, we had a total of 1 fairly well-prepared and edible egg, which I got on my side of also not very good cottage fries, a pot of green tea, a couple diet Cokes, some fries that would have been pretty good, if drained properly and the rest was nearly entirely inedible. Both myself and wife currently have gutaches as I write this, not a good sign of things to come. Never again.

    I tried this place once before and it was okay - distinctive, although the service was slow. I like to support independent businesses so I went back today and took my daughter. I'm sorry to say that today's visit was pretty disastrous as restaurant visits go. We got there and I ordered decaf (health issue), and was told they don't have any. So I ordered regular coffee, figuring I'd have just one cup... and it arrived lukewarm. The server got me another cup, but I had used the last of the sugar on lukewarm cup. The holder was now empty and no one noticed, so I had to get up to get some from another table, at which point she apologized, and brought more. The food arrived and it was okay, but about halfway through, I found a hair cooked into the potatoes. I lost my appetite after that. I told the server about the hair and she apologized, went away for a while, then returned and told me that they would take half off my meal for the hair: $3.51. ??? I wasn't in the mood to argue, but...really? The hair begs the question, how many other hairs had I already ingested? I would think that a reputable place would certainly be mortified enough to offer my meal for free, and maybe my daughter's as well, especially after the cumulative effect of the botches. I noticed today that one of their slogans is "white trash chic." Disregarding the certainly unintentional, but nevertheless somewhat racist overtones (have you ever thought about the implication of having to specify the distinction of "white" when referring to people as "trash?"), this visit left me thinking that there ain't nothin' chic about it. Sorry, not going back.

    This place is shooting for southern comfort food well-done. For the most part, they hit the mark. Interesting jam flavors (strawberry and coconut), housemade sausage, and fresh-squeezed orange juice were the first signs that this place pays attention to details. The chicken and waffles came recommended as the most popular dish so far. It didn't disappoint. The chicken was moist and delicious. We also had the mexican frittata, which was served in an iron skillet, and very good. Service is a little on the slow side, which was attributed to unexpected popularity of the chicken and waffles. Fair enough for a place that just opened a week ago. I'll definitely be back here.

    We visited SLC for a Christmas Vacation and we are here two times during the week we were there! The homemade preserves/jams were amazing! Do not leave without trying the waffles with some of the homemade greatness!!

  • G L H.

    Yum! Breakfast is definitely the way to go here. We got the beignets with lavender jelly, which was not traditional style by any means, but a unique treat. They were hot out of the fryer and went great with coffee! The Benedict was delicious, as was the sage ginger sausage. We also asked for some jam, and our server brought strawberry coconut, which was to die for. It was really busy and noisy, but the service was fast. Overall, the house made pork and jam, along with the good service were what made this place great! Don't forget to check out the Yelp deals they offer. We got $5 off today.

    Good. But not great. I keep hoping it's going to be great. We decided to grab brunch here Sunday. I called to see what the wait would be and they said they didn't have a wait. So we drive the 10 minute drive over there only to see a mass of people waiting outside. When I went in to see how long the wait would be they said 20 minutes. An HOUR later we were finally seated. During the wait we had figured our what we wanted to order. So when the waiter came to take our drink we said we'd also like to order since we were at this point starving. This seemed to annoy him, he wasn't very pleasant. It took quite a while for our drinks to come but the food came quickly after that. The waiter didn't refill our drinks a single time, we actually had to ask someone else since he never came to check on us. I know they were busy but the service was dismal. We ordered the chicken and waffles, biscuits and gravy with sausage, and the pigberry shortcakes. The chicken and waffles were divine. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicey on the inside and bursting with flavor. The waffles had a great texture not to hard or dense. Really this is their best dish. The biscuits and gravy were ok, the gravy had a nice herby flavor but there was hardly any sausage. And the pigberry short cakes were good but I'm not sure I personally like the coconut strawberry combination. Also they were absurdly skimpy with the whipped cream. The restaurant itself is nice. I love the decor however they really cram you in there. You're practically eating on top of the other patrons no matter where you're seated. I'd definitely go back for the chicken and waffles but that's it.

    I highly recommend this restaurant. The menu is original. The food is very tasty. The service is fast. The prices are reasonable. However, they don't accept Bitcoins so I cannot give them five stars.

    I was visiting my friend last week in SLC and he had to bring me here. I ordered the biscuits with sausage gravy and he got the breakfast sandwich. My biscuits and gravy were delicious and very flavorful with all the extra herbs sprinkled on top. My friend really enjoyed his breakfast sandwich as well. Our server was very nice and even sat down and talked with us for a bit when we first got there. I will definitely try to come back here when I'm visiting again!

    This is our second time back here. My husband had the kitchen sink and I had pork belly poached eggs. The pork belly was really your threaded pork, not the typical pork belly where you get fat and crispy skin that I hoped for, but it was still pretty awesome. I am giving them 5 stars for consistently serving good food. Definitely will be back because there are other things on the menu that we would like to try out.

    (5)

  • Michael And Masha M.

    Decent food overall, with one serious complaint: their "maple" syrup was corn syrup. Because of the artisanal vibe, we took them at their word and ruined the waffle with corn syrup and artificial flavorings. The jam was decent but is not made in-house either.

  • Candice S.

    This place is a real gem. Not only is the food delicious and interesting but the service is phenomenal. We showed up during the busiest time with 10 people plus babies. They were accommodating and patient. They split meals and split checks and were still smiling.

  • Ned S.

    First time in, the service was friendly. I expect servers to know what are the best items and this one delivered. I told her it was my first time in so she suggested I try their jam which was unique and tasty. I had the strawberry coconut jam. The pulled pork salad was excellent. The pork was tender and very tasty, the lettuce was fresh, and the portion was generous. The decor and atmosphere is edgy, I would go with my friends but not my kids.

    This is really great place to get some good sunday brunch. Veggie options are great too. It is a little bit crowded for sure- shame that they don't have too much shade to sit outside. I don't think i saw anybody wait longer than 10-15 mins for a table. It is fairly loud in there if that bothers you. You could also hop into the southeast market across the street to pick some goodies.

    Uh...the service is just as good as the effing breakfast!!! Piggy husband had Pig Breakfast and Mama Pig (me) devoured Chicken and Waffles. I'm stuffed and ate like a pig. HIGHLY recommend this quaint, hip joint. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu. Blueberry Lavender jam was delicious as was Strawberry Coconut jam. I'm stuffed but ready to try more yummy items. As Arnold says "I'll be back."

  • Becky G.

    We really liked the food! Tried the chicken and waffles, toast with jam, and kitchen sink fritatta. The lavender blueberry jam was a little weird for us (a bit like soap), but the strawberry coconut jam was awesome! We were really impressed with all the menu options. I don't feel like our experience deserves a 5 star rating because of the cost and timeliness. Everything took such a long time. We went for lunch and it took over an hour, and there were only 3 tables being served at the time. Lunch time during a business day needs to be a lot faster than that. At the very least, I would have appreciated a little more attention in that area, let us linger if we want, but let us control the timetable, not the establishment. And it was a little pricey for lunch time. Our bill came to $27 before tip for two meals and 1 drink. They upsold us on adding 2 fried eggs to the chicken and waffles then charged us $4 for them. $4 for 2 fried eggs?? What? I get that it's a quaint, one of a kind, trendy place and that means you pay a little more for atmosphere and good ingredients. Just don't think the whole shebang was worth what we paid.

    I stopped in this morning because I read a good review and I am so glad I did! Great food, very nice staff, and a cool atmosphere. I ordered the 3 egg veggie scramble. They substituted egg whites for me. Very tasty! The sourdough toast and jams were awesome! I recommend the blueberry lavender jam., but the spiced peach and strawberry coconut jams are also very good. I will definitely be back!

    Everything I have ordered here I have enjoyed. My favorite so far is the pork belly salad. I also really enjoy ordering a pot of herbal tea from the tea place next door to enjoy during my meal.

    Best pulled pork sammie ever. I love the slightly spicy pickles and slaw on top - crispy, but not sloppy. Perfection. Oh, and the fries... the fries... ! Excellent server, too. Jake was just the right combo of attentive and not hovery. The gorgeous blue eyes were nice, too ;)

  • Rajeev M.

    Why I went Post Test Lunch and it came highly recommended on Best brunch in Salt lake city thread. What I ordered: Chicken and Waffles: Probably my favorite chicken and waffles experience to date and the chicken was definitely the highlight. It was crispy but extremely tender. The waffle was also a great vessel for the chicken but by itself it was nothing special. In addition, I could not tell if the portion size was small or I liked this dish that much but I was extremely tempted to order another portion haha Frenchie...caramelized onions/mushrooms/brie/9 Pretty mundane. Barely any brie and the eggs were overdone. It also wasn't salted, which was very disappointing. I only ordered it because my girlfriend was adamant about ordering the chicken and waffles and I wanted to try as much of the menu as I could. Homemade Breakfast sausage: With a name like Pig and a jelly jar I would assume the sausage would be on point and it was. This sausage had great texture and flavor and with the maple syrup I added it was bomb. Cut to the Chase: 5 Stars! I will return. Great Chicken and waffles: If I want good chicken and waffles I know where to go! The Sunday supper menu is also very intriguing along with the other types of homemade sausage. What made this place 5 Stars: Although the Frenchie was kind of mediocre the amazing service at Pig and a Jelly Jar is the reason I gave it 5 stars. They were very accommodating and allowed everyone in our party to use the yelp deal ($5 for $10). So at the end of the day it was great food at a great price. Can't beat that with a baseball bat!

    As tourist this was far from downtown slc but the food was delicious! It was Saturday 12:30p ish and it was a bit of a wait for food to come out or even a waiter to come take care of us! It is a small place and hot inside but the patio outside was perfect! The jam and biscuit was worth it! The chix & waffle was to die for! I would come back againnn!

    I was not impressed when I went to Pig & A Jelly Jar. Their food was tasteless and the servers were off putting. I got the fish and chips and it was fried strange because it had a nasty taste to it. Looked cool, but I think I'll pass next time.

    Very helpful and friendly staff! The jellies are so yummy tried strawberry coconut and raspberry lavender, I got the breakfast sandwich which was phenomenal.

  • francine s.

    Don't sit outside, the flys are horrendous!!!! Skip the BLT sandwich, it was flavorless, even with added bacon, the fried green tomato was way over battered, even the bacon was flavorless for a pig joint!!! The coke was way over carbonated. The chicken and waffle was ok.

  • Manny R.

    We had friendly and attentive service from Erin. I ordered the Frenchie skillet and it was just okay. The eggs were overcooked and dry, the brie wasn't melted, and the onions weren't carmelized as indicated on menu. The potatoes were also cold but promptly replaced with hot ones upon my request. I'm guessing that maybe they were short on kitchen staff for a Thursday morning and a 12 person table was seated right before us that food was hurried out of the kitchen and not up to expectations. I really expected to like this place as the Yelp reviews were very good. The food was one star and the service was a three and perhaps I caught them on an off day. I'll give them another chance.

  • Yan L.

    Brunch was okay. The wait was long. Got the hash which was good but nothing spectacular. The highlight was the toast and jam selection, which was awesome. Their bread was perfectly toasted, crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. Jam was chilled and not overwhelmingly sweet.

  • michelle m.

    Eh. The first time I went, which was pre-fire, I went strictly for the chicken and waffles. Didn't even need to be tempted by the menu. I was a girl on a mission. Give me dank chicken and waffles or give me death. I've been to roscoe's, I know good chicken and waffles. These did not disappoint. I literally could not get them in my mouth fast enough and didn't want to stop for air. Fast forward a couple months. I took my friend there and was giddy with anticipation knowing what awaited me. I unlocked the yelp offer for free toast and jam. ohmygod. I can't say I've never eaten spoonfuls of jam at a time, but I've certainly never felt less guilty about it. I'd like to say one was a strawberry coconut and the other was a blueberry something or other. Time to get real. We both ordered the c&w because I threatened his life dare he ask for a bite of mine. They arrived, we ate, I wasn't stoked. What changed? I don't know. I can't really put my finger on it. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't as great as I remember. The chicken was cooked well, juicy and crispy in all the right places. Maybe it was a lack of seasoning? And the waffle....was just a tepid waffle. No big whoop. Hmph. I feel deceived and I don't know whether to point the finger at pig and a jelly jar or my taste buds.

    This was the first time that we had ever eaten here and the food was just fantastic. My husband had the chicken and waffles, the chicken was mind blowing. It was so flavorful and just so delicious. I had the waffle with different toppings and the cinnamon creme it was fantastic. Eating it with the apples on top was like having a mini apple pie. We also tried the sausage which was very good as well. The service was impeccable. I could not recommend this place more! Can't wait to go back!

    My friends and I came here for brunch after an exam and half of us ordered the chicken and waffles while the other half ordered some sort of frittata. I am giving this place 5 stars for the following reasons: -The chicken and waffles were the best I've had in Utah . The chicken was crispy and tasty and the waffles complemented it perfectly. -I jokingly asked a friend to switch his chicken and waffles with mine because his piece of chicken was bigger than mine and one of the servers overheard and told me she would bring me another piece of chicken (wow!) -There were 7 of us at the table and they were willing to let every single one of us use the yelp deal ($5 for $10 worth of food) even though it says one per table. -all the servers were very attentive and considerate, making sure we always had water and letting us know when it would take a while for our bills to come since they have to split it 7 ways. Overall, I enjoyed the meal very much and the customer service was exceptional!

  • Tiffany K.

    What a deal when you get the free toast & jam plus $5 for $10 offers! The sourdough came out toasted and spread with a little butter which balanced well with the strawberry coconut & blueberry lavender (my fav!) Jams. Split the chicken biscuits plate with my friend (portion was plenty) & we both enjoyed the fried chicken. The biscuit crumbled top easily for my liking but otherwise, pretty tasty. Plus, bonus that Jake, our server, was a sweetheart :)

    Last night, I browsed through yelp looking for a new breakfast destination. Pig & A Jelly Jar is somewhere I've driven by many a time, but until today didn't think much of. From the outside, it appears quaint and low key, usually a perfect combination. I came here with three other people, all of us trying Pig for the first time. We were seated inside and based on the decor (or lack there of) I was initially underwhelmed. It was relatively cramped, but they seem to have utilized the small space quite well. In theory, the menu looks great. There's not much to dislike about comfort food. I noticed several vegetarian options, and settled on the Veggie Burger with fries. I was nearly ecstatic when our food finally came out. Which made it all the worse when I took the first bite only to realize it just wasn't what I was hoping for. Everything was okay, but very bland and lacking in flavor. Those who I was with had the Mexican Scramble, Three Bean Salad and the Chicken Biscuits. And while there where no complaints, the food just didn't seem to resonate with any of us. Perhaps Pig & A Jelly Jar is one of those places where you just have to know what to order. Regardless, it made for a pleasant but lackluster overall experience.

    I am on an "eat my way through Utah's best restaurants according to Salt Lake Magazine" kick. We decided to start with Pig and a Jelly Jar. We went today just before 9 am and there was one table available. I was thrilled because I have a slightly (really) impatient 4 year old son who doesn't enjoy food nearly as much as I would like him to. Long waits tend to make it even worse. We walked in and were seat immediately. A gentlemen seated us and he was so nice to our little guy, which is bonus points. Small restaurants cringe when they see energetic wee ones. There was a free toast deal on here, so we ordered the toast and jam. People go on and on about the jam. It's good. It's not blow my mind good. For a dollar, it is a really nice option if you are hungry and don't want to wait for the main course. You will wait for the main course. I have lived in Europe, so I know how to wait. Be prepared for a half and hour or so wait. So, not awful, but longer than most in the US. When our food came I was so excited. I had dreams of eggs benedict. I knew I would be ordering it. I wanted my hubs to order the chicken and waffles, because that was the second pick for me. He didn't. He ordered the pig breakfast with breakfast sausage. I eyed every order of chicken and waffles that passed our table. The boy ordered waffle a fix. After today I am completely aware I am an eggs benedict purist. Pulled pork and no hollandaise does not fit this bill. It wasn't awful but I wouldn't order it again. My husband loved his breakfast, especially the sausage. The waffle a fix was great. We ordered the fruit on the side. With cinnamon goo and maple syrup dipping. The cinnamon goo was amazing. The maple syrup was maple syrup so, delicious. Overall, we would go back. The service was excellent. We waited longer than you typically see but the staff is so nice. Two of the three dishes were home runs. I have future plans for another trip but this time I have my heart set on chicken and waffles.

    My second time here! Came in for pre-work breakfast along with a work colleague. Thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and the menu items. Had the chicken and biscuits! Coffee was fresh, and the OJ was amazing.... Tasted similar to the old Orange Julius drinks you'd get in the food court at the mall years ago! Place was packed and sat at a window bar seat. Wish I could have had a PBR-tini but being Utah, couldn't consume alcohol at an establishment before 11:30 AM! Only issue was that it took about ten minutes to get the check and I ended up being several minutes late to work as a result.

    I wanted to love it, but I cant. I live nearby and loved the idea of walking here for breakfast, but I've always been underwhelmed wirh the food. Service is always great however. It's a very noisy small space. Their signature hash browns are greasy & tasteless. I've been served dirty cups for tea. Overall the food is ok, but nothing worth coming back for. Other people seem to love it, so try it out and see if you like it. I don't.

    It's simple - Chicken and Waffles, add an over-easy-egg on top - and you'll clean up your plate and walk away a happy man (or woman). :) Five stars all around. My advise - get there early. We arrived at 9:30 am on a Saturday. We were able to select our table and sit down, but shortly after (and by 10:00 am), the place was packed with people waiting outside. If you have a baby like we did, it's nice to be able to pick your favorite spot inside. By the way, the service was fantastic too, and food was served quickly.

    I love this place. It has great vibes and wonderful food. We originally came for the chicken and waffles and ended up venturing out to other things on the menu. We went on a Wednesday and they had a daily special of Chicken Pot Pie. Which we were debating about and we were glad we decided to get it. It was not like a traditional Chicken Pot Pie. It was not served in a pie tin or in a pie like fashion. The "crust" seemed like it was placed before serving. I was skeptical at first, but It was delicious! It was flaky and not the soggy like texture you usually get with chicken pot pie. I really liked it! I wish it was on their regular menu. You also cannot go wrong with the Chicken and Waffles. They use Franks Red Hot Sauce and that combined with the syrup and chicken are a match made in heaven. I personally like things a little bit spicier and I felt like the balance of the sweet from the syrup complimented each other well. Their Orange Juice and Coffee are also delicious. Also if you check in on yelp you get a free cup of Joe!! Overall, I would go here again. I think it is one of my favorite restaurants in SLC. :D

    Rachele our server was great, chicken and bacon good, waffle was plain. Older door lady kind of rude from the start of taking my name, then came filled my water glass by picking it up towards the top where my mouth would touch it, after wiping tables with a wet rag, she needs to go back and retake her food handlers permit.

  • Matt W.

    A nice unique place if you want to try something new. They have a pretty simple menu that offers some interesting food varieties you wouldn't find elsewhere. Several Frittata dishes and other breakfast items along with some other lunch/dinner meals. Enjoyed the eclectic atmosphere and great service, and the food was good.

    Went in about a week ago with a couple friends to get the chicken and waffles and was very impressed. It was late and we were the only customers there to my surprise so service was very fast. The waiter was extremely nice and suggested a fried egg on top and a few different drinks which all turned out to be amazing choices. I highly recommend this place and trying one of their beer mixers!

  • James B.

    This is one of my brunch places around. I've tried the Mexican and the Italian skillet and I liked them both. The chicken and waffles were delicious. The PBR cocktails were creative and fun. And finally the service was amiable. My complaint is the hours: they're mostly only open for lunch. The dining room is kind of small, but I guess that adds to the coziness.

  • Elizabeth M.

    Underwhelming after reading reviews and talking to friends. The patio was covered in flies, which isn't the restaurant's fault but something to consider if you are wearing shorts and sandals in the summer in Utah. The flies made the meal almost unbearable as they were covering our feet and food. We got the pork belly BLT and the chicken waffles which were dry and not that amazing. While our waiter was excellent, we witnessed other waiters being slow, apathetic and generally uninterested in good customer service. Perhaps focusing too hard on being trendy and cool.

    Ate here for the first time, and I will definitely be back! I had the ham hash and my boyfriend had the kitchen sink. Both super good and flavorful! Server was really nice, and the atmosphere was really chill. :) Love this local spot!

  • Dirk M.

    There wasn't a single thing that I liked about this place. Bad coffee, bland food, and super slow service. I ordered the Mexican frittata and my girlfriend had the waffle with fruit. My frittata was pretty bland. The jalapeno cream sauce helped a little, but it still left a lot to be desired. The potatoes that came with my meal were awful, they didn't have much flavour and some of them were raw. The only good thing about my meal was that it came out hot, unlike my girlfriend's waffle. I'm pretty sure that it was sitting around until my dish was ready, so their timing on preparing meals to come out together could use some work. Neither one of us liked the coffee, but at least it was free with our Yelp check-in. There's just much better breakfast options like Park Cafe or Eggs in the City nearby. I doubt we'll be back.

    The BEST fried chicken ever (and I'm from the South). I got the chicken & waffles, boyfriend got the chicken sandwich. Food was delicious, service was fast (seated immediately though it was busy and got our food in 20 min).

    (5)

  • Christine W.

    Food was great, and I would normally give them 5 stars. However, this was all masked by the fact that there are flies -everywhere! When you look up from your table you can see dozens of them just buzzing around, and then they land on your food throughout the meal. It was unappetizing and we left without finishing our meal. Clean your restaurant, people.

    WOW! WOW! WOWSA! If you haven't stopped in to see Amy Britt & her lovely staff, you have missed the boat! Sunday feels like Sunday again. Our food was glorious. They are back and even better than they were before...go see. The menu has been revamped, the room looks and feels different and we're excited to check out dinner toward the end of the week. Amy is very focused on keeping people happy. Go see for yourself.

    I wanted to like this joint. I really did. I bought a living social coupon when they first opened, even though the reviews were still spotty. I hoped that Pig & A Jelly Jar would have the kinks worked out after a few months... The first time I tried to go was on a Sunday, (oops! I didn't read the fine print on my coupon,) and the place was packed to the gills. I wasn't about to pay full price given that I had already bought a voucher, so my friend and I went to the Bayleaf. (Nomanomnom...) When I finally got around to re-visiting Pig & a Jelly Jar on a random Tuesday a month or so back I was underwhelmed. The service was good, but the restaurant was virtually empty and my buddy and I were seated next to two very loud and obnoxious women. I didn't even realize there was music playing in the restaurant until the women left. My buddy had the chicken and waffles, (I stole a bite- they were tasty.) I ordered the sausage grinder. Meh... underwhelming. The fries were good at least. I might go back for their Sunday family style dinner, because it looks like such a cool concept. Otherwise, there are plenty better options for breakfast/brunch in SLC.

  • Whitney C.

    nom nom nom. This place is legit! They have a simple yet flavorful menu of great breakfast and lunch items. I got the Hashbrown Hash and it was tasty! Chunks of ham, bacon, potatoes, onions, peppers, seasonings and an egg over easy. It may seem like a simple hash but it was way tastier than the average diner plate. Plus it wasn't smothered in cheese which was a refreshing change. They make their own jam which unfortunately I didn't have but i'll be back so no worries there. Their coffee is from Salt Lake Roasting and if you check in on YELP you get a free cup! They are also running a yelp deal... pay $5 get $10 of food. The place was packed but they do a good job of turning tables. Be prepared to wait 15-20 minutes though as it's pretty small and maybe has 20 table tops. They also have a menu of breakfast beverages where the main ingredient is PBR. haha. maybe one day i'll be brave and try that. Service was friendly and efficient and the place had great decor. Parking wasn't an issue and it wasn't too loud that you felt trapped in chaos. They DON"T take reservations even though the yelp mobile app will tell you they do. not a big deal though. Every Sunday they have a set dinner for $30 bucks but other than that they are only open for Breakfast and Lunch. Dinner menu looked yummy though! Well done Pig & A Jelly Jar!

  • Leif J.

    Dined for Sunday breakfast. We ordered the waffle with jellies and the chicken and waffles. Waffles were good... one of the accompanying jellies was orange and green tea which was exceptional. The side of sick looking grapes and dried orange slices should not have made it too the table. The chicken was well cooked and moist and with the addition of hot sauce, which our server recommended, was quite tasty. Interesting varieties of hot tea. Drip coffee was just that. The atmosphere is bright. Our small table was near the kitchen and therefore a high traffic area and once our plates arrived every inch of surface area was occupied. Other tables further from the kitchen are advised. The servers were pleasant and attentive. While the experience had its highs and lows, we were satisfied enough to considering returning to sample other menu options.

  • Dom P.

    I recently went back to give it a shot at the request of my friends. The service and food was much improved. I was much more happy with my overall experience. Before I can become a raving fan willing to suggest this place to my friends I will need to come a few more times and see that the food is consistent. But overall it was a vast improved experience.

  • Andrew D.

    American/comfort food. It is obvious that they use high quality fresh herbs and seasonings, and it takes each dish we tried to a very unique level of taste. Perfect place for a Sunday brunch.

  • K G.

    Not bad but not definitely not stellar. Perhaps my expectations were set waaaaay too high.... The Food: Chicken atop our waffles was, well, wimpy. Wimpy small breast of chicken and one wimpy waffle. Location: Small, but not in a quaint kind of way. Small and awkward. Closed Sundays, of course. So they lose a star for that as well. May try again, in a couple months. Perhaps they are working through the kinks....I hope.

    Pig & A Jelly Jar is our favorite breakfast/lunch/brunch restaurant in Salt Lake! My boyfriend & I are regulars and we have tried nearly everything on their menu, and we have yet to find something that we don't like! Also, the servers are always friendly, which is a plus. Also, you need to order toast and ask for their strawberry coconut jam! It is amazing!

  • Paul R.

    In short - a really good breakfast, funky atmosphere, and friendly efficient service. You should try it. I was in Salt Lake City on business and some friends there told me about their recent visit to Pig & A Jelly Jar, and I decided to give them a try for breakfast. I arrived on a Monday morning just after opening time. The server greeted me and invited me to sit. He came back with my coffee (locally roasted) and gave me a couple minutes with the menu. I chose the Italian Frittata. A three egg creation with a nicely spiced house made sausage, sautéed peppers, mushrooms, and onions, and provolone. Then topped with marinara and basil. It was served in a blistering hot small skillet. On the side were deliciously seasoned cottage fries. My meal was delivered in just a few minutes and I enjoyed every bite. By the time I left, other customers were trickling in. I'll definitely be back for breakfast and will need to stop in for lunch or dinner (dinner only on Sunday) and try one of their PBR cocktails!

    BEST chicken & waffles! The chicken is perfectly crispy and the sweet/savory combination is a party in your mouth. The pulled pork sandwich is also fantastic with the cabbage slaw & homemade pickles. The b&b frittata was recommended to us -- it was a unique but good combination of flavors (apples, candied nuts, blue cheese) but we thought the blue cheese flavor was almost in recognizable in the bechamel sauce. We'll be back!

    i think i've might have found my favorite saturday brunch spot! Ordered the Italian Frittata and i must say, it was beyond my expectation! Cottage Fries are amazing!!! My boyfriend ordered the chicken & waffle and he pretty much licked his plate clean. I did actually sneak a bite (im on that no carbs til Sunday diet -_-) of the waffle & it tasted HEAVENLY!!! The place COULD be a little bit bigger but on the.... Plus side+ Everything is locally grown & organic; freshly made to order; friendly service; very chill ambiance; serves PBR-mary, -tini, -sunrise... Very HipsterChic I'll be back for your Sunday Supper!!!! :):)

    My mother and I lunched there a few weeks ago. She had the chicken pot pie. She loved it. Honestly - it wasn't attractive. I agree with her that the flavor worked well, but presentation matters. A food based on beige ingredients (chicken, cream, mushrooms) needs to offer you something to look at. I had the brie and sausage grinder. It was...ok. The bun was much bigger than the filling and since it was dry that meant plenty of nice bland bread to chew on. The fries were fine but nothing to write home about (and since my Mom was right there, no need to write!). I felt a little carb-loaded afterwards. The best part of lunch was watching the servers deliver 6 orders of chicken and waffles to a large table of doctors (in their scrubs!). Not cardiologists, I guess. So here's the thing. This restaurant is convenient, pretty, and branded in a way that appeals to people looking for a modern American bistro. Our meal there, though, offered nothing very impressive. Other reviews note great food and mediocre service. In our case the service was just fine but the food was mediocre.

  • Brian P.

    I'm hesitant to write a review on this fun little "find" in that I don't want it to be over-run with crowds! That said, this is a perfect place for weekend brunch and coffee. I ordered the "ham hash" - fully of yummy, healthy morsels of goodness topped with a sunny side up egg. Loved the strawberry/coconut and pumpkin/apple jelly on toast. Their coffee is freshly ground and infused with espresso - making it extra good. Opened late summer 2012. Very small dinning area. Quaint atmosphere, friendly and prompt service. Now stay away..it's mine!!!

    "Delicious menu. Interesting flavor combinations and presentation is top notch. Service was lackluster. I probably won't be back due to the service; and it wasn't just one server or an off day. I've been there enough to realize it is a pattern."

    We were frankly a bit disappointed. We had Saturday breakfast, and while my fried chicken was delicious, my wife and I had a Waffle that she said at the time was underdone (it looked rather pale to me) and desperate for a little salt. It later occurred to us that the chef may have accidently left out the baking powder, which would explain it.

    Me and my friends stopped in for breakfast. We all had the chicken and waffles, and we, unanimously, thought they were the best we've eaten. My first chicken and waffle experience was at the famous ATL's Gladys Knight and Ron's Chicken and Waffles. Although that place is good, it, more or less, is a tourist attraction. The chicken and waffles we had a Pig & A Jelly jar were fantastic, and I would definitely eat there again.

    Great experience. We came on a Sunday night during their Sunday night dinner, which doesn't normally include chicken and waffles. Fortunately for us, they were willing to make that dish for us. A nearby table overheard our order and wanted the same! The chicken and waffles were delicious. Our waiter even suggested putting hot sauce on them. I never would have guessed but hot sauce tastes great on the dish. The manager or owner then informed us that future Sunday night dinners will now include c&w. All future patrons - you are welcome!

    My boyfriend and I caught an early flight back to Salt Lake City from San Antonio, Texas and decided to have breakfast when we landed. Tummies grumbling we stopped here and ended up disappointed in the quality of the food. His biscuits and gravy had no sausage and the biscuit reminded us of dry cornbread. My kitchen sink frittata was ok but nothing to rave home about, again, not much meat. The potatoes were a bit of an upset as well - pretty dry and tasted like they had been sitting out all night. Only pig I saw was in the name.

    A fairly good option for Sunday breakfast. A friend and I had heard great things about Pig & A Jelly Jar so we decided to give it a shot. It's a cute, quaint little place in an up-and-coming neighborhood. With a small amount of space there is only room for a few tables which would lead me to believe the service would be great. Unfortunately service was just okay and I hate to say it but the food was only okay as well. I had the Kitchen Sink Frittata and thought it was edible, my friend had the Chicken & Waffles (with an egg on top) and also thought it was just okay. Of the 3 specialty jelly's served to us only one was notable the others were just okay. I guess this review should be titled "Okay" because I have used that word a lot. While we hoped this place would be better then Okay it simply wasn't.

    I really want to like Pig in a Jelly Jar. Their coffee and home made jams are delicious. However, I've been there a few times and left disappointed every time. Once my bacon was so burnt it was inedible, and another time my chicken came out raw on my waffle. Also, the service could use a huge improvement. The servers are nice, when they make it around to your table, which can take a long time. Not worth the long wait on weekend mornings, in my opinion.

  • Phillip A.

    My wife and I own a local business. We consider ourselves foodies. We heard about Pig and a Jelly Jar and really wanted to check it out. Being local we want to support local. The menu looks fun, heartwarming and creative. We loaded up and went to check it out at about 12:30 on a Sunday. When we entered, apparently in the wrong door (there were no markings to indicate which entrance is the main and it's on a corner lot) the host, with disdain, walked us over to the other door and asked how many were to be seated. We responded, "three please". She said it would probably be about 20 to 25 minutes and explained there is no waiting area and we would have to wait outside (it's 90 out) under some trees and hope one of the three tree stumps would become available or we could sit on some old mismatched chairs (most of which were wet from sprinklers) and assured us that she would come get us when our table was ready. Then a party of six arrived. She immediately addressed them and said she would have a table ready for them in ten minutes..... they had no reservation either.... hmmm? While outside, I overheard others talking about just leaving. They had kids and a larger group. Obviously not happy patrons. I've worked in a restaurant and know how crazy things get. In general I think others just need to relax and try to be understanding. Sometimes large groups are harder to seat than small. The host walked out a few times, sat smaller groups, and explained to others what was happening, but if you had a child (we did and so did two other groups) she wouldn't address you at all. After a couple times of being ignored, it was clear that they had segregated us. Then came the final straw. The six young hip men that came after us got sat...???? The host the turned to another couple (no kids) and said their table would be ready momentarily. My wife and I stood there looking face front to her (hoping to receive an explanation) and she walked past us without even saying a word. I was floored. So we walked to our car that was way down the street cause they don't have parking, and went to a place that wanted our money and didn't shun families. This restaurant is NOT family friendly. I've never been treated so badly for doing nothing wrong. We were kind and polite, our child is well behaved. We are in our thirties and very fashion forward. If it was just us that got ignored maybe it would've just been a misunderstanding. But no. They made a point loud and clear.

    I love this place. They make the best jam. Do yourself a favor and spend the 2 bucks on toast so you can slather it with blueberry lavender jam or strawberry coconut jam. Everything I have tried here is excellent. Servers are always super nice and the atmosphere is great.

    This was a great place for a Sunday meal... or any day of the week, for that matter! The chicken & waffles were tip-top and the B&B frittata was awesome!

    Ate breakfast here recently with a good friend. I appreciate that they make a lot of their things in house, but the long wait is a bit puzzling. We were only 2 of 4 people in the restaurant and our order seemed to take forever. I really hope that this is just them working out the kinks in a new place. Also, the coffee could be SO much better. I know they are using a local roaster but the coffee does nothing for the food. I want to give this place another try soon so I can hopefully post an updated, hopefully better, review.

  • Blake P.

    Not impressed, unfortunately. Live nearby and was hoping for something I could go to often. Won't be going back. Wait staff was alright. Kinda slow. I had water poured on top of my sprite multiple times. I had the 'Pig Burger' and the bun was really soggy - the fries weren't good either - also limp and soggy. My wife had chicken & waffles and part of the chicken was still pink in the middle. Save yourself the visit and hit up Eggs in the City, Park Cafe or Blue Plate.

  • Julia L.

    I've had breakfast here twice now. I think it's a great little neighborhood spot with a lot going for it. I like the small size and the porcine decor. The coffee is good, which is a nice touch. In fact, I'd go so far as to say 'nice touches' are a defining P&JJ characteristic. The Chicken & Waffle is popular for good reason. The big succulent breast boasts heavy breading that is well seasoned. Mine crumbled off in a couple of spots, but that is bound to happen with an extra-crispy coat in this application. It just created little piles of syrup-soaked salty bits that I scooped up on top of waffle bites. At the time of this first visit the hot sauces on offer were Tabasco and Cholula. They have since started offering Frank's and Sriracha as well, the former being my preference for C&W. It marries quite nicely with the maple syrup in a way that elevates both. I could see Sriracha coming in second, with Tabasco and Cholula tied for a distant third. The waffle was solid; nothing too loud or boisterous, but a good platform for the chicken. C&W: B+ The B&B frittata contained bacon, walnuts, apple and bleu cheese bechamel. It's a killer combination on paper, but I found mine to be a little light on the bacon. I don't actually remember seeing any at all. Despite that, it tasted great. All of the frittatas arrive sizzling in little iron skillets with a side of potatoes. Incorporating the bleu cheese into the creamy bechamel really tamed its bite, allowing the walnuts and apples to come through, without totally neutering it. A couple of the walnuts peeking out of the top of the eggs got a good browning from the broiler, adding a nice deep toasty nuttiness to a few precious bites. B&B (sans B?): B The house potatoes need some work, I'm afraid. They're pointed in the right direction, with good seasoning and some added rosemary and onion, but they just aren't cooked consistently. All of our plates had a few cubes that were raw, and the rest seemed like they were cooked too long ago. Taters: C- The English Muffins appear homemade, and are served with a couple of house jams. I have had the Strawberry Coconut and the Blueberry Jalapeno. The strawberry was my favorite. It had nice berry brightness with a coconut shadow. Complex but accessible. To be honest, I couldn't really taste the jalapeno in the blueberry jam. Maybe it's with my frittata's bacon, smoking weed under the bleachers. Muffin: A; Jams: A- The service was great; friendly and casual but attentive. Perfectly suited to the place. A I don't understand the complaints about portion size. I thought they were fine. This isn't your typical greasy spoon hungover breakfast hole. These guys are going for something a little more mature, and the prices reflect that. It isn't Denny's cheap, but it's reasonable. And I'm very interested in the 3-course Sunday Supper. Another nice touch.

    I wasn't brave enough to try the chicken and waffles but the waffles with lemon pineapple curd and assorted jams were fantastic. Everything is homemade and the waffles are fluffy and flavorful.

    Chicken and waffles are the best in Utah! Make sure to order the cottage fries on the side. Very tasty!!

    Food was great! Went in for Sunday brunch and had chicken and waffles. Sounds weird - but it's awesome! Lady had the kitchen sink and enjoyed that too. Only drawback is that we were forgotten in the bastard corner and never offered to have drink refills or if the food was ok.

    7 of went to this restaurant and we each had a different entree. Everything was wonderful. Some of our favorites were: chicken n waffles, biscuits n gravy, toast n jam. You must try the different jams- amazing. Great experience .

    Extremely slow service; some items may be worth the wait if you're not in a hurry (not sure which ones, other people food looked good). I had the mushroom & Brie frittata and expected something great but it was good, it wasn't spectacular. I give the food 3 out of 5 for creativity and the yummy potatoes. The service would be a 2 out of 5. I had to ask twice for a coffee refill and finally the hostess brought me some. We were never asked if we wanted our bellinis refilled; they certainly missed out on that revenue! There are better options around for good service; maybe I'll go back if I have a snack before and have a couple of hours to burn.

    Service was spotty. No one stopped by to check in on us and we had to ask for refills on water and coffee several times. That said, food was good. I'll give it another go.

    This place rocks! I was worried with it being brand new that they might need to work out some kinks, but it was perfect. We both tried the frittatas, the Italian and the Mexican, with the chicken rosemary sausage. So so good. Awesome wait staff, cute interior, and a diverse and delicious menu. Park cafe is gonna have some serious breakfast and lunch competition in the neighborhood now. Can't wait to get back and try it all!

    I truly enjoyed Pig & a Jelly Jar. I visited mid-morning on a Saturday. The place was busy, but not completely full. Our waitress was incredibly attentive, very informative and kind. I had the vegetarian sink egg frittata. It was piping hot and delicious! Oh, the accompanying potatoes were so-so. My husband had the ham hash, as recommended by the waitress. He loved it! My daughter had the waffle, which she loved. I think the waffle was more savory than I like, but the cinnamon cream syrup made up for that. The place was really clean, as were the restrooms. They offer breakfast cocktails at 11:30, $4/mimosa! I will definitely come back and will recommend it to my friends.

  • Corinne R.

    Lovely new little joint! Fresh food and great service. We went for breakfast and got the Belgian waffle with cinnamon cream syrup and then used the blueberry lavender jam that was on the table as well. it was SO delightful. The waffle was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. And the combination of flavors with the cinnamon syrup and blueberry lavender jam hit the spot! My boyfriend ordered the Frenchie frittata and enjoyed it very much! The only thing that sort of bothered me was $4 for my glass of OJ. But other than that it was great!!

    A very quaint breakfast and lunch place. We came with a group of 5 on a Sunday. The place was full but we only had to wait about 10 minutes. While we waited our hostess brought us coffee to drink outside. I had the chicken and waffles and the girl had a beer battered fish and chips. Both were excellent and the chicken portion was a giant breast with a great crispy and well seasoned crust atop a fantastic fluffy and crispy waffle. Try this place. It's worth it

  • Juliet C.

    breakfast sausage is amazing. a little salty but hey, it's a sausage! it should be. I also had the frenchie fritatta, which was fine. But, the big plus here is that the service was really great. Our waitor was such a nice guy and chill about everything. He reminded me of the guys back where I'm from, in san diego. Everyone at our table wanted the chicken and waffles. And looking around, everyone else seemed to be ordering that too!

  • Mallory D.

    I tried to go here again because I figured they had some time to perfect service... Nope. The waiter was surly and seemed inconvenienced by everything, especially when I had to ask for a spoon for my coffee and a straw for my water. There was only two other people in the restaurant and he spent most of his time complaining to the cook about employees or staring into space. The food was overcooked and with that service I can't imagine going back again.

    I've been in search for a place with quality chicken n waffles in SLC ever since Bayleaf closed down, and I've tried many other places that fall short. I was surprised to come here and the better put together chicken n waffles. The chicken was great and crispy and hey, a real looking waffle! Plus, they didn't forget the hot sauce! Besides having great chicken n waffles, something to note that might not make a difference to you but I noticed, was the hostess working when nobody was coming in. She sprayed the all-glass door down and cleaned off the hand prints from people. If that's an indication of how the rest of the staff is, then I'm impressed with their attention to detail when it comes to cleanliness. I honestly, haven't seen that very often and it just randomly caught my eye. I would of liked to give this place 5-stars but I felt like the place was a little crammed. I was constantly being pushed around in my chair for waitresses and other people to get by. It makes sense why it was like that, the place was packed (which isn't a bad thing obviously). They really should expand or get a new place or something, they need it! So many people go there for Sunday brunch it's crazy. If you're looking for a place for brunch with a unique selection of food, cheerful atmosphere, or you are just plain looking for chicken n waffles, then go here. You won't be disappointed.

  • Scott J.

    Went for the first time today and loved it! I had the kitchen sink, which was excellent! Served in a skillet, which kept it hot throughout my meal. Also had the Charming Beard coffee which was great. Many things on the menu I want to try on subsequent visits. Salads, sandwiches, "bar bites," and other things. I had a side of biscuits with the housemade strawberry-coconut jam, which was amazing. My only complaint was that the biscuits were rather flat and heavy rather than light and airy as I would have expected. But everything else definitely 5 stars. My waiter, Nick, was friendly and efficient and all one could ask for. Also, Yelp should remove the "Temporarily Closed" notice at the top. I went today, April 4, and it was open and full of people.

    First time visit on a Tuesday morning at 11:00. I was greeted almost immediately, and was asked where I'd like to sit. There were only 2 occupied tables, so there was no wait. My server was friendly and attentive. I chose the ham hash ($9), and it was food heaven! It arrived quickly, well seasoned, piping hot, and just the right amount of spice (for me anyway). The ratio of egg, meat, potatoes, onions, peppers, and spinach was just perfect. Given how small this place is, I will avoid it on the weekends, but there is no question that I will go back OFTEN during non-peak hours. UPDATE Nov 2013 I've been here at least half a dozen times now, and this is where I bring my out of town guests. I always get great friendly service and awesome food. Still think the ham hash is the best thing on the menu!

  • Joey P.

    I had the sausage breakfast which came with a spicy Italian sausage, eggs, and potatoes. The sausage was very good. The potatoes were home fry style and were also good. The eggs were....eggs. It's a cute little restaurant. They have interesting pictures on the wall and funny T-shirts to buy. The only problem is the prices. My modest portion of sausage, eggs, and potatoes was $9, and it didn't even include toast or anything. It's definitely on the upper end of the $ scale for breakfast places. Luckily though, Yelp had an offer here that saved me $5! So factoring that in, it was a great deal!

  • Camille F.

    I've been to Pig & A Jelly Jar twice for Sunday breakfast. And it's become one of my downtown favorites. Both times I've ordered the chicken and waffles. So far, this has been the best chicken and waffles I've had in Salt Lake! The waffles aren't overly sweet, so they complement the fried chicken well. And the chicken is fried perfectly. Nice and moist inside, flavorful batter on the outside. Definitely try this dish with the hot sauce. Yum. One observation--my first order of chicken and waffles came with a piece of chicken that was about the same size as the waffle. The second time it was about half that size--so don't depend on a gigantic size piece of chicken...that's not a problem, just is what it is. The first time I was a single diner and was seated at one of the window seats. The service was prompt and professional. I was comfortable and would recommend the place to anyone dining alone. The second time I was with two others and we were seated at the bar by the kitchen where the servers go to get coffee, water, etc. This actually ended up being a lovely place to sit, because everyone was so convivial and attentive. So, I ended up being very pleased with sitting in a place that seemed less than ideal at first. I do wish the place was bigger. It's small and quirky, which is nice (you're not looking for the IHop experience here), but waiting for a table is a tad uncomfortable because there isn't anywhere to go other than back outside, or if it's cold you can simply hover there in space. Because I know it's so challenging to get a table on a Sunday morning, I feel like I'm in a sprinting competition against anyone else I see headed toward the restaurant so I can get there first! I guess that's a good sign though...the place is in hot demand!

    Daughter and I tried this place at lunch today, all i can say is we'll be back. great little place. Daughter had the vege Fritatta, loved it, I had the sausage grinder with their homemade fries - loved it. Service was awesome and the decor is excellent. Can't wait to go back and try the Sausage Gravy - table next to us had it and I wanted to reach my fork across the table :)

  • Ameilia Q.

    I recently went here because it had good reviews and it is kind of new and trendy. The positives first: great bacon and great coffee. Now the negatives, it is rather expensive for a breakfast spot, nearly twice the rate as other neighborhood eateries. I did not care for the food either; don't get me wrong, it was ok but nothing really special. Also, no kids menu so the portions are a bit wasted on the little ones. I ordered the spicy Italian sausage and it was bland with no spice. Others in my party did not fair any better either... ok food with little flavor and not worth returning to.

    (2)

  • Bud H.

    The limited items I tried were all good but nothing was spectacular. The Pig Burger was juicy, flavorful, and came with a nice, soft bun. With that said, it was a bit messy and fell apart about midway through my meal. The fries were hit and miss. What I mean by that is, they appear to be handcut as they are served in all sorts of shapes and sizes. The thin ones were crispy and cooked just right, the mid-sized pieces were a bit on the limp side, while the thicker cut pieces were not cooked enough. The thin fries were great, just how I like them. The mid-sized were serviceable but could have been better. The thick ones just didn't cut it. Thank goodness I only had three or four thick-cut fries in the bunch. Cool space. Cool crowd (hipsters galore). Good food - but perhaps I expected more for the price.

  • Sarah C.

    Maybe 4? I'm really on the fence here. After bookmarking it, I had been campaigning to have breakfast here for weeks. My homebody boyfriend finally relented and we were on our way! I ordered the Vegetarian Sink Frittata and my boyfriend went with the Mexican Frittata, each came with toast and potatoes. They were large and pretty good. Lots of ingredients stuffed in the baked eggs. The breakfast potatoes were my least favorite thing on the plate. Thickly sliced, not cooked all the way through and just not a good thing. The jelly for the toast, on the other hand, was my favorite part of the whole meal. There were two types of jelly already on the table with the condiments- a strawberry coconut opaque mixture and a darker berry situation, I want to say raspberry or something. It doesn't matter- the strawberry coconut was out of this world! I was put off by it's weird color and texture originally, but holy moly! It was GOOD! It sounds like a fine breakfast, so why 3 stars? I thought the atmosphere was weird and stark. We were the only ones in at the time, and it was awkward. Our waitress was not attentive and without anyone else in the dining area, it was hard to get anyone's attention. I also didn't love the location or the parking situation. While there was nothing seriously wrong with the whole meal, we don't feel compelled to go back.

    (3)

  • Claire F.

    First, the food actually was great. My low rating comes from the general attitude of the staff. We were told our wait was going to be 40 minutes, after over an hour, the hostess tried to seat our party of four at a counter top. If it was a party of two, I'd understand, but four people cannot chat at a counter. Also, I am 7+ months pregnant, and high seating chairs aren't for me. After explaining this, the hostess put us ON THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST to be seated at a regular table. She was extremely rude, not understanding, THEN I was in the bathroom and heard her complaining to her coworker. We waited for over an hour and a half, finally were seated (after a table sat empty for about 15 minutes...hello spiteful attitude). So, Kimberly, if you read this... being spiteful will definitely guarantee a loss in customers.

  • Becky B.

    Ok, they've undergone some serious changes and improvements. Amy and team have fixed the service issues and the food execution problems. We were so hesitant to try it again, but I can say with assurity that we will be back, soon and often! If anyone was thinking of writing them off, think again!

  • A C.

    This place is cozy (small) and busy. What a wonderful brunch! I'd never had chicken and waffles before- mainly because i'm one of those weirdos that cant hang with bone in or dark meAt chicken. For my final meal before my january new years resolution diet took place, i met a friend here (yes, I'm late on this review). I was ecstatic to find the chicken boneless breast. I ordered chicken and waffles, slathered it with frank's and maple syrup, and ate every single bite. It was heaven!! I still draw on that experience as my diet stays in full swing, and I don't regret a bite!

    They do that thing where they ignore everyone at the front door, not making eye contact. Tables are open, but a large glut of people wait by the front door. After 20 minutes of no contact with staff, I had to leave.

    Chicken and waffles- seriously. SERIOUSLY!! This place is small but good lord is it delicious. Picture this... one waffle...one piece of perfectly seasoned friend chicken...covered in syrup and maybe some franks red hot. Oh wowie. I wish my stomach was bigger so I could have finished it all. I also had the Banana Cream Pie. This is not pie folks. Its deconstructed. Puff pastry, bananas, other sweet good things covered in whipped cream. It was also delicious. The service here was excellent. Our server was very nice and kept my coffee cup full. I will be coming here every weekend until I tire of chicken and waffles.

  • Nina C.

    I've heard nothing but good things about this place so I checked it out for V-Day lunch. Waiter was very friendly and hospitable at the beginning. Food was definitely sub-par. The best thing about the whole experience was the home-made jams. The Blueberry-Lavender was amazing. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken sliders and my boyfriend, the fish and chips. He didn't even finish his because the breading was unappetizing. My sliders were dry and needed a lot more sauce. Everything needed salt. It was a very expensive lunch for what we ate anyway and we had to practically hunt the server down to get our check when we were done. On the plus side though, i may have to go back for that jam..

  • Brett W.

    Ham hash topped with egg over easy, rye toast with three different homemade jams, and nice bottomless coffee. Awesome, perfect brunch combo and look forward to going back again someday. First time to SLC and this place was an absolute gem. Amazing service that made me tip 25% despite being a poor med student. The food and service were so good that I completely forgot to use the Yelp coupon I purchased prior to going. Obviously, I felt I got my money's worth without it.

    Very fun vibe. Awesome comfort food made from scratch. Chicken waffles were the bomb - and I'm a yogurt for breakfast guy. Also got the breakfast sandwich with house made sausage - that was my true favorite. Service was very friendly and prompt. Bathroom on the clean side for public use facility. I will be back.

  • Lisa M.

    Meh. It was okay. I would like to come back and try something different but for now just okay. The fried pickles were awesome but i ordered the Benedict and was pretty disappointed. I'm not sure why it holds the name Benedict there wasn't really anything benny about it. It said poached egg but the egg was fried. It was on toast not english muffin. The pork was pretty good. But no hollandaise. I gave it a go. Not a fan. Better luck next time.

  • Kim T.

    Had to give this place another chance and I'm glad I did. This time there was 2 of us. Our waitress, Rachel, was very nice and attentive. I had the Kitchen Sink skillet, and the husband had poached eggs and their homemade sausage ... awesome! Both plates were at a perfect temperature, not cold this time, and the potatoes not overcooked. I also like the fact that they did offer me alternatives, at no charge, for not wanting potatoes or toast on my plate, and I landed up getting sliced tomatoes. The most amazing thing ever is their strawberry coconut jelly ... I'm sure I could eat the whole jar! The only thing I didn't like and sent back was the coffee. It was really bitter ... almost all the creamer and 2 packs of sugar sub couldn't help it. Will be back again!

    (4)

  • Terry K.

    Chicken and waffles!! The waffles are warm and fluffy and the chicken is seasoned to perfection, so moist, so good! This place is a tad bit small and you usually have to wait for a table because it is always so busy, but it's worth it. Very friendly servers, it is a little hard to find parking because they have very limited parking spaces for customers. Definitely a place you need to check out!

  • Jenni D.

    I would describe our dining experience at Pig and A Jelly Jar using one word... Meh. It started off strong with their fried pickles. They were tart and the breading and sauce were good. We also tried a waffle with cinnamon cream and syrup. Very tasty. But our sandwiches were very underwhelming. The pork belly "blt" was a huge disappointment. I was expecting the pork belly to be nice and crisp but it was more like pulled pork. Also, the bread was dry and burnt and the pimento cheese didn't really mesh with the sandwich. I chose the baked beans for my side and it tasted like they dumped in a bunch of sriracha to make them spicy. My husband had the fried chicken sandwich based on our waiter's recommendation. The chicken had a nice breading on it and was flavorful but the sandwich itself was very dry. The lemon aioli was basically non-existent and the tomato was terrible. Obviously no one is paying attention to quality control in the kitchen. He got the potato salad with his sandwich and we both liked that very much. All in all, our meal was very forgettable.

  • Ariane A.

    Ham hash was really good. Our server James? Or Jon? Was exceptional. Good latte. Beignets were mediocre. Probably because it wasn't what I was expecting like they have in the south. But I would definitely come back again.

  • Ben K.

    After six or so visits to Pig & Jelly Jar I'm ready to weigh in with my experience. This is a fantastic local joint that if not for a single experience would earn the full five stars from me. Just west of Liberty Park on 900 S., P&JJ is a small local eatery best known for their breakfast (though they serve lunch and dinner as well). After an unfortunate kitchen fire early this year they've reopened and save for some changes in the decor, still serve funky takes on classic breakfast food. Plan for a short to moderate wait on weekends, more if you have a party larger than four people. If you do have a large party, you will likely be sitting at the central communal table. I've found it to be a positive experience, but if you don't like to potentially rub elbows with strangers bring a smaller group. Breakfast is definitely the star offering here. Many Pig fans, myself included, are really coming here for one item: chicken & waffles. Take your servers advice and add the optional egg on top for a truly religious breakfast experience. It's so good that despite my best intentions to explore the rest of the menu, I keep ending up with the same thing every time. Fortunately my girlfriend isn't stuck on the chicken & waffle train and through her I've been fortunate to sample the delightful ham hash, pig breakfast, and beignets. All were excellent and I feel confident saying that there's something for just about everyone. The homemade jam that comes out with your toast is worth mentioning for its fantastic flavors. Pick up a jar to take come at the end of your meal. Finally, the deducted star. My most recent experience at P&JJ was lackluster compared to the experience I've grown accustomed to. Our waitress was polite, but our food took unusually long for a party of three. She apologized multiple times, but it sounded like the kitchen was having trouble prioritizing orders. I'd overlook the wait time, but when my chicken and waffles arrived I found myself disappointed in the typically stellar speciality. The chicken was very tough under the breading and unpleasant to eat. I'm not sure if kitchen backup lead them to try to rush food out - but whatever the cause, breakfast was not up to its usually high bar. I'm willing to chalk it up to a fluke on that particular day. I certainly won't hesitate to visit again soon.

  • Xahnaz J.

    I played it safe with the Cobb salad which had high quality ingredients, but the plate was a little small and hard to mix everything together. The chicken was done will with a little char and moist. Staff was friendly and attentive, plus they noticed I checked in on yelp and quickly came by with their toast and house made selection of jams.

  • Laurie B.

    Good. god. First of all, you could stop reading right after I say: I am definitely going back to Pig & A Jelly Jar. I want to try everything on their menu. On my first visit, I tried the delectable biscuits and gravy, and I nibbled on someone else's cottage potatoes. The biscuit was soft and flaky, and the gravy (with sausage) was so creamy, I lost consciousness for a minute. Secondly, all the extra dishes that piqued my interest: literally all of the frittatas, ham hash, and the chicken & waffles. I may be headed back tomorrow! Do yourself a favor - eat at Pig & A Jelly Jar. Brighten your own day, create your own ray of sunshine, eat this delicious food. As far as wait time complaints - I was in a group of four and we went at 12 on Saturday and only waited about 15 minutes. The bottom line is to just be prepared to wait during peak hours because it. is. worth. it.

    Went in on New Year's Day, it was busy and they seemed to be under staffed even thought I counted 6 FOH staff for that small restaurant. My food was great. Veg scramble with a side of toast. Homemade jam was the best part. My husband waffles was under cooked and eggs over cooked. But great space, nice people and good concept.

    Locally sourced humanely treated pig that is cooked with the respect it deserves. The pulled pork sandwich and the pork belly BLT are great and the potato salad is amazing!!! Strawberry coconut jam is a must try as well.

  • Charles S.

    With a name like Pig & A Jelly Jar, it has to be good. And it is... good. I had the spicy Italian sausage grinder and Lisa had the grilled chicken sandwich. We both had fries. Everything here was fresh and delicious. The sausage sandwich had house-made marinara with fresh basil throughout. The sausage was very tasty, with just the right amount of spice. The chicken sandwich was pretty standard, but the yummy lemon aioli really set off the flavors. The service was excellent and the atmosphere is "cozy." The place is tiny and jam-packed with tables, but it doesn't feel claustrophobic or cramped. Add in a $2 PBR and I'm a happy camper!

    (4)

  • Lauren D.

    The ham Hash was awesome! I actually ordered the buffalo chicken sliders, that were pretty tasty as well, but my sister got the Ham Hash, and she wouldn't let me trade. The aioli was the secret ingredient I think, but I am now definitely a fan. The customer service was also great. Our food was luke warm, to almost cold when they delivered it. We asked if they could pot it in the microwave, and she said there was no microwave. The waitress then happily took the plate, made a new ham hash in 5 minutes, and it was amazing!

  • Jamie B.

    My husband and I had breakfast here on Sunday December 21st 2014. The parking is really difficult. The restaurant is also extremely small & very popular so there was a wait which was quite awkward since there's no place to really wait. I felt like we were hovering over people eating. We were seated at the bar along the windows which was fine but there was a coffee pot behind me that the people waiting for a table kept pushing into my back. That wasn't pleasant at all. Our server was excellent, and the food was great too. We bought the Yelp $5 deal which we were able to use without any problems at all. I had the waffle and my husband had the pulled pork sliders.

    I ended up getting the ham hash because I wasn't that hungry and it was a little cheaper but man was it good and filling. Service was great, food was great, coffee was great. What more do you need. Went on a Friday morning so there wasn't a wait but I'm sure that isn't the case on the weekend. Would definitely recommend this to locals and out-of-towners. They're homemade jams are very good as well.

    Move over ketchup. Eggs have a new best friend to compliment them and it's marinara sauce. I order the Italian Frittata and I'm sure glad I did. The boyfriend order the Kitchen Sink. I can definitely say the Italian is better. The Italian Frittata consists of Italian sussage, bell peppers, marinara sauce, and basil. Their marinara sauce is nice and chunky not all runny. In the sauce there's cumin, onions, chilis, and probably other stuff as well. It was a wonder accent to the eggs. I also got the sweet flower green tea which I also recommend. Their teas are from the Tea Grotto which is next door. When sipping on the tea you can totally taste/smell the aroma which is its own distinct taste that you have to try. I would have to say if I got my boyfriends dish I probably wouldn't have given them 5 stars.

    We were super excited to try this place based on what we had heard but we're very disappointed. We were seated pretty quickly on a busy Sunday morning. But once seated we sat for twenty minutes before drink order was taken, then an hour before our food ever came. People around us who had ordered after were getting their food while we waited. I got the chicken and waffles but the waffle was cold and soggy. Our water glasses were empty most of the time and when they did refill them it was with warm water, no ice. The one thing we did like was the blueberry lavender jam, but not enough to redeem the poor service.

    Oh a whim, my friend and I popped in here for a quick brunch. We were pleasantly surprised! We started off with toast and jam, which is actually a lot better than it sounds. They bring you 2 of their homemade jams; strawberry coconut and lavender blueberry. I was partial to the lavender blueberry jam on marbled rye toast. Delicious! Even though we read (on Yelp of course) that the chicken and waffles were good, we both ended up with scrambles. He had the Mexican Scramble, I had the Kitchen Sink. We both loved it! They make all of their sausage themselves so of course it was pretty damn good. It's a little out of the way, but worth the visit!

    Great place. Good food. Small, but they were accommodating to our tweens we brought with too - even when one of the spilled his drink. :(

    Best breakfast in SLC. The chicken and waffles is incredible! Not as long of a wait as most of the other spots but much tastier. Only complaint is the service is not great.

    This was a spot we ate breakfast at because we found it on yelp. We had a party of 14 and we ended up on Instagram. I ordered the chicken and waffles with a fried egg on top of it. The chicken breast was fried but so delicious. It was not greasy at all. The place is really small, but don't let that be a deterrent. We ate here again yesterday after tubing. The food is good seeing we went back again so soon.

    We just went here for the 2nd time on Saturday for breakfast and again I had the Hash and it is so far the best hash in SLC area, for the last 6 weeks I have been eating out each weekend and only have ordered the hash because I am on a mission to find the best hash in town. The service was good and friendly and quick, it was early in the morning because if you get there after 8-9 am its a wait to get seated. Oh and they gave us some of their lavender jam to try with the toast and it was fantastic! Really good on the rye bread! We will be back!

    Great jam and waffles! The two waitresses there were very nice too especially since we had a raucous toddler.

    This place has the BEST service!!! And the BEST food! They were out of the coffee I wanted and they went and got some for me! Chicken and waffles is to die for! In the summer the outside patio is refreshing!

    Loved the food! The breakfast sandwich, fried pickles, and fried green tomatoes are delicous. Went with a group of 6 people for brunch on a Saturday so it took about an hour to get seated. Also, it's a bit crammed inside, but the staff is super-friendly and fun to talk to. Make sure you order some toast on the side and try their strawberry coconut and blueberry lavender jams!

    Wow I am really underwhelmed by this local favorite? Maybe I ordered the wrong thing? I don't know, I certainly would not consider this place a favorite. I ordered the kitchen sink and the potatoes looked like they cut up frozen French fries and added some spices and peppers. Eh not my fav. The eggs were okay but had a lot of liquid and not much flavor. Don't be scared of salt. The service was okay but unfriendly and sterile is not a five star place. I could see regulars being hugged and given special treatment but really shouldn't you treat any paying customer like they matter? I think so.

    Awesome place for brunch on a Saturday afternoon. My husband had just finished running the SLC marathon and agreed to walk a mile south from the finish line to eat here based on the yelp reviews. It was well worth the effort! There was a little bit of a wait, maybe 20 minutes, but nothing crazy. Our server was awesome and so friendly. We ordered the chicken and waffle that was raved about in the reviews. This is one of my favorite dishes, and this place does a great job with it. The waffle is thick, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The chicken is boneless, breaded and well seasoned. Our server suggested to get an egg on it (I got mine over easy), put the syrup on everything, and then put some Frank's Red Hot sauce on top of that. I had never had this combination so I tried it on a small section first, and it was SOOOO good. The hot sauce and egg are the perfect addition to this dish. If I lived in SLC I would go here often!! Highly recommended!

    Believe the hype. This place is wonderful. The ham hash was really wonderful. The restaurant is in a residential area, sort of out of the way on a corner and there is no reason you would notice it, but notice it you must. Your waistline will suffer, but you will really enjoy the food.

    We were shopping up the street and needed some food so when we saw the great reviews here we figured we'd better check it out. Glad we did! We both got waffles, one with chicken, per our servers suggestion,-it was good and I'd recommend trying it with the hot sauce they tell you is the "way to eat" it. I don't like hot sauce, but it was a great combination-and the other a pick-n-fix that came with fruit on top and a few sauces. The cinnamon cream was delicious and so was the strawberry coconut jam!!! I'd definitely have them both again! Friendly staff and a nice place. We'll be back!

    First time back since they reopened. Happy to report they are still delicious. My husband would eat the chicken and waffles every day if his arteries would allow it. My kid is happy with potatoes (plain, no veggies added) and biscuits (plain, no gravy, maybe a bit of jelly). I have been happy with everything I have tried. The coffee is also delicious, great coffee and brewed nicely.

    Great food, great service and great atmosphere. Definitely will be a regular stop, whenever we are in the city. The peach spice and strawberry coconut jams are unreal.

    It's good, hasbrowns were really good, my gf and me traded plates, she ordered the short rib benedict, and traded me for the mexican scramble. It was good, but for me barbecue flavors and breakfast don't really jive. Really good jelly and toast. Overall I would say the quality is spot on, and I should just try something different the next time I decide to go there.

    We both ordered chicken and waffles and they were fantastic. We both had an egg on top and the yoke made it taste even better. Our waiter Jeff was incredible. He recommended Frank's hot sauce to pair with the chicken and waffles. What an incredible combination. Also we receive free toast and jam for checking in. The strawberry coconut jam was very sweet but very good. The blueberry lavender jam was also fantastic. Jeff even recommended his other favorite brunch spots in the area. We will definitely be back and I hope Jeff is our waiter again.

    I really wanted to like this place, and was excited to give it a try after all the reviews but it was a disappointment. The restaurant itself was cool, our waiter was great but the food was a big let down. I had the chicken and waffles and my husband had the biscuits and gravy. The waffles and biscuit had no flavor at all, and you really did have to eat a bit of chicken with each bite to taste anything. The chicken was just your regular breaded chicken, nothing special there. The fresh orange juice was very good, but I mean, it's orange juice. Flavorless breakfast that cost us almost $40.

    Holy chicken and waffles!! By far my favorite thing on the menu. I put a little bit of Frank's hot sauce on mine as well as some syrup. It is a killer combo! The energy here is one that cannot be described! I'm always welcomed with a friendly smile when I come in. Not only is the food to die for, the waiters and waitresses are incredible. Nick, the manager always makes a point to come check in and catch up! Kim and Jake also rock! There's something to be said about places that make you feel at home, and Pig & a Jelly Jar is undoubtedly one on my list. Shout out to the wonderful friends who have made every one of my experiences there comforting, enjoyable, and delicious! You guys are awesome.

    Had the chicken and waffles. It was delish. The service was super nice and attentive. The AC was blasting a bit too much so by the end I was kinda freezing, but it was fine, we were in the middle of the summer, so as soon as I got out I was in heaven again. They have a pretty sweet menu, and they serve alcohol. At least beer. It is pretty tiny, so I can't even imagine eating there when it's packed. We went at a good time at a random day I'm guessing, bc I heard this place is pretty popular. I liked it, and would probably come back again for brunch.
