What to Eat at Jones the Grocer, Emirates Golf Club (Dubai) How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Jones the Grocer, Emirates Golf Club (Dubai), this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. We still have more reviews to analyze, so the scores may change. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Tips for a Better Visit
Book Groups. Reserve ahead for groups; one Friday visitor arrived without a booking but advised reservations for larger parties.
Choose Outdoors. For wine-and-cheese nights, consider outdoor seating if available: one guest found the music and conversation too loud indoors.
Check Terms. Before ordering a set menu, ask whether sharing is allowed so package restrictions are clear before food and drinks arrive.
Plan Parking. Driving is practical according to one review, which specifically noted plenty of parking at the golf-course location.

The Bottom Line
Jones the Grocer at Emirates Golf Club is a market-and-café restaurant in Emirates Hills, valued as much for its setting and events as for everyday dining. You can come for breakfast, a Sunday roast, Saturday Steak Night or the Wine & Cheese Night, while cocktail and gin workshops add occasional reasons to visit beyond a regular meal. The golf-course outlook is a real draw: reviews mention floor-to-ceiling glass, relaxing views and plenty of parking.
Breakfast is served in a broad range of styles, with English Breakfast, Arabian Mornings and Something Smashing among the dishes mentioned, and one review says the breakfast selection runs until 4 PM. The Sunday roast, prawn rigatoni and grilled chicken also receive positive comments. Families are welcome in the experience described by reviewers, including groups with children.
For a more social evening, look for live music, jazz or the cheese-and-wine events. The latter can include different wines and replenished cheese platters, though indoor music and conversation may become uncomfortably loud. If ordering a set package, confirm sharing rules first: one guest said a restriction on sharing wine was only explained after ordering.
A separate review also raised concerns about recent price, portion and burger changes, so expectations may vary by menu item.
