Hector and Jimmy's has been one of my family's favorite resturants since I was little. The food is great and quite diverse, there's everything from seafood to mexican on one menu. The staff is generally fantastic, but like any other location in the service industry, there are bad days too.
They have an amazing beer selection too!
H&J's is very cognizant of  the review's on YELP yet have done little to improve their service, pricing or ambiance. I will continue to order take out, but probably will not dine in ever again. What is good about Hector and Jimmy's? The food is good, fix the other things and you would have a good place. At a time when Milford House, Blue Grille and others are attracting patrons, H&J's is still just a bar.
Review Source:The good: The warm potato chips appetizer with bacon and Gorgonzola was fabulous! At $5.99 it was more than enough for two and had we known how good it was we would have just had that and called it a night. We both had the fried chicken salad which was huge. The chicken was good but it was fried in the same oil as the fish, giving it a slightly fishy taste.
The bad: The specialty drink was a apple pie martini. It wasn't mixed very well and didn't taste very good. It wasn't sweet at all and I found out why when I got down to the bottom of the drink and there was a bunch of sugar in the Y of the martini glass. At $7 it should have been a lot better. My friend Amy got a chocolate martini and it was just as bad.
The Ugly: The bill was $50 which seemed expensive. The service was ok, the place was kind of nice but don't sit in the booths because they are hard as a rock.
I'm not sure i would go back, but then again, those warm potato chips were really good....
