Jimmy K's Restaurant

i've been coming here for a few years now, and i don't have a strong feeling, positive or negative.  basically, you have to go a few times to find out which items you like.  Individual preferences really vary on comfort food: there are freshly-made items (some good, some from recipes that aren't what i was looking for), pre-made (frozen, canned) items that you might like, and pre-made items that you might not like.

Cole slaw, for example, is the usual soggy sugary vinegar puddle.  the deep-fried items like seafood, onion rings, and hash browns are from frozen but well-executed and exactly what i'd hope for.  the regular coffee tastes bad, but the flavored is pretty good.  the hot tea is horrible.  iced coffee & tea are good.  i appreciate that they always have a full assortment of sweeteners stocked at each table.  

before new management and namechange, there was an option to have real maple syrup on your pancakes; that was really good and i miss it.  sad to let go of that.  the tzatziki is way too runny and acidic, like a vinaigrette.  it should be thick, creamy, all about the yogurt, cucumber, and garlic.

service has improved over the last few years.  sometimes you get a waitress who really overdoes it on the "hon" and "sweetie" crap, which kind of makes my skin crawl; but service is usually attentive and efficient.  

the desserts are very good.  italian lemon cake in particular.  a one-time visit will likely be hit-or-miss, depending on your preferences.  when they're good, they're very good!

UPDATE!!!
I went here for breakfast the other day and was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. Knowing that they are usually fast and I needed a quick breakfast I dropped in.  When the rest of my party got their breakfasts the waitress told me that she thinks they burned my waffle and it will be out.  Another 10 minutes passes and she says they burned it again and do I want something else.  My friends were eating slow trying to wait for me, but were already done with their breakfast.  I told her I would have a muffin and that because of the inconvenience it should be on the house and all she had to say was "Do you know where you are?"  A couple minutes later she came over with the waffle which looked quite uncooked (opposite of burned for sure?!?).  She said if I ate it she would have to charge me for it (even after it took 15 minutes after the rest of my friend's food was delivered, 35 minutes after I ordered it) so I told her I did not want it.  She took it off the bill but refused to take the drink off my bill (once again asked if we 'know where you are') even though the reason I ordered the drink was to go with my food!!
Was told there was no manager available so I will be going back to talk to the manager, but not to eat there again.
I have been here countless times and never had much of a complaint, but after this experience all I can say is DON'T GO HERE! The service has gone downhill and become a restaurant where even the waitresses don't have faith in the place.

fast, friendly service with generous servings... with very reasonable prices!
