"He teamed up with his brother, Kyle Jones, and sister-in-law, Colleen Hert, in early 2017 to make their bagel shop dreams a reality."

Westwood's J & J Restaurant, located at 6159 Glenway Ave., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the affordable breakfast and brunch spot 4.5 stars out of 48 reviews. 

Yelper Rich R., who reviewed J & J Restaurant on December 8 wrote, "Breakfast is piles of buttery, pillow scrambled eggs or perfectly fried if that's your preference, paired with fatty, crispy, greasy bacon, ever so slightly spicy pork sausage, delicious local goetta, perfectly toasted (white bread) toast. All this is served with GIANT piles of home fried potatoes, no peppers or onions here, crispy, light and delicious."

Matt T. noted, "This is a greasy spoon as they should be. No matter what side of the city, we should all be able to agree that J&J's is great!
