Jimmy's Bar & Grill

Blah and bleck and boo. Food is typical Midwestern fair, drenched in mayonnaise and deep fried, which makes it pretty much impossible to eat here if your vegetarian or gluten free or simply trying to eat healthy. Which is fine, I'm all for my occasional comfort food, but the wait staff should be a little more informed about the menu, and a little more tolerant to accommodate their guests.  I realized later that while I was ordering, I was apologizing profusely for "all" my requests, but really all I asked was for no croutons, and whether The Stack salad had any breading, or if it was truly, simply lump crab meat in a dressing. In my opinion, those aren't very big requests or inquiries, but looking back I was made to feel like it was just impossible and absurd to even ask. Ultimately, I got served an eye-roll and a salad with croutons. Otherwise, our waiter was missing for long stretches of time and left us chewing on ice cubes and wishing for attention. The real deal-breaker that sealed the one star review, was the insulting, confrontational bartender who INSISTED my husband was lying when we asked if he was sure he poured the beer he had ordered. It was actually kind of funny and has given us laughable material that will probably last us a while, but it was still insulting when we set my husband's beer on the bar next to a freshly poured Oberon, and it was so painfully obvious that my husband's beer was a varietal of lite, transparent beer, and the just-poured Oberon was that recognizable cloudy, golden goodness. The whole thing could have been remedied if the bartender had laughed with us, and agreed to knock the beer off the tab. I probably would have even forgotten about crouton-gate mentioned above, and would have just gone away a little hungry, as opposed to insulted. Instead, it turned into a loud, argumentative, accusatory, exchange and left us feeling like little kids that just got scolded... or maybe bullied is more accurate. Generally none of the aforementioned feelings (hungry, insulted, scolded, bullied) are how one wants to feel when leaving a restaurant, but if you're into that, then by all means, grab a table at Jimmy's. There are plenty open and available.

Jimmy's was absolutely wonderful!  

Planned a dinner for a very large group (18) a few weeks ago.  Worked closely with the owner and staff to take advantage of the beautiful outdoor patio and keep the dinner moving so we could head out for more festivities and in fairness, not take over the prime seating for the entire night.

The food was excellent, the outdoor patio was the perfect summer setting and we can't say enough about how delightful and gracious the entire staff was.  Will definitely go back anytime we are in town and recommend to friends.

Been here for dinner with my family at least once for the last 3 years, and besides being family friendly (kid menu), the food is good.  The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is the service has been very hit or miss when we go.  This place could really take off if they could find a way to get this resolved.
