Jimmy's Restaurant

It's the one of best restaurants near to my place where I live. Food is always delicious. Service really good. I like Jimmy's restaurants, because is always good atmosphere there.

A great restaurant overall.  Very clean, friendly service and delicious food.  What else can you ask for?  All for very affordable prices, Jimmy's is always a great place to go!

One huge plus: You can tell many of the patrons are regulars, which is always a good sign. This place is consistently great!

I came here a few weeks ago for dinner with my family. My parents wanted to take us here. Since I love trying new places, I was looking forward to it.

We were seated at the bar (my dad's favorite spot to eat, so he can socialize) even though there were plenty of tables available. Since we came in the side door, I had not realized the restaurant was much bigger than just the bar area. The bar area was nice -- with lots of televisions and sports murals on the walls, but the regular restaurant part was nice too. It had a cozy, family feel to it. It was also quiet, which I value since it's very hard for me to hear in louder restaurants.

The bartender/waitress (I believe her name was Gabby) was super-friendly and nice. She was also very understanding and accommodating of my food restrictions. We were served our drinks quickly (I just got water) and placed our orders not too long after. For an appetizer, my family had saganaki and they said it was amazing. I had grilled zucchini with lemon sauce. It usually comes with Parmesan cheese on top but I requested none. Usually, the grilled zucchini I've had at other places is breaded without a lemon sauce so this was very different. And delicious! I ate it all so quickly. Just thinking about it right now is making me hungry again....

My dinner was Eggplant Parmesan on Mostaccioli (without the Parmesan). I was excited to eat this. However, when I received the dinner, I took one bite and thought the sauce tasted a little funny. It had a certain flavor in it, and was rather thick. Then I realized... meat! It was meat sauce! What!? I was so confused. Sure enough, it was indeed meat sauce -- a huge error on the cook's part. Even the bartender agreed with my logic in how absurd it was: I ordered a vegetable entree and omitted the cheese -- what were the chances I'd want meat on it!? She took it back and gave me another later with the marinara. This time, it was good. Whew.

While I was there, I also met the owner, Jimmy. He is very friendly and genuinely interested in you. I also noticed that when new customers came in, he was the first person to go up to them and greet them. Very cool.

I'm willing to overlook the (huge) meat sauce mistake because the staff was very friendly and apologetic about it. The entree was never supposed to have meat sauce anyway, and the waitress/bartender gave us all free blueberry crepes as a desert, which were amazing. I just have to remember for next time to specify what kind of sauce I want (not just here, but in other places).

I completely understand why my parents really like this place. If you're looking for a good place to go that is quiet and family-oriented but also has a friendly sports bar area, this is for you. (If I could, I'd give this place 3.5 stars, but I had to round up.)
