Jimmie’s Restaurant

Jimmies restaurant is a good place to get down home comfort food, the menu offers a little bit of everything including daily specials. (They are closed on Monday) I ordered the meatloaf and mushrooms gravy when it arrived it was covered in red sauce that was spicy which should be written on the menu however they did replace it for me but I did have to pay for the new dinner which is fine I guess I just think more customer friendly place would have comped my meal since I had to wait for ever for my meal to come.
They do have very good fried chicken which is on special on Saturday along with pretty good country style steak, and the mac and cheese is yum. Their side salad is lettuce and tomatoes nothing special however their dressing is house made and tasty. The service is hit or miss depending on who you get and how busy they are. Overall it’s good!

This restaurant holds nothing special but it’s still a decent option for a family restaurant. Their food is perfectly average but the service is excellent. The waiters are nice, friendly, and provide excellent customer service. The price is worth the quality of food given.

Experience wasn’t that great. Steak tasted cheap and service was iffy. I’m guessing this place is better known for Breakfast?
Honestly, I would rather go to Chili’s, less expensive and better food quality.
Pros:
— Cornbread
— Sweet Tea
— Free lollipops at the front

1. Try the Cajun Whitefish… delicious
2. Fried apple sticks… delicious
3. Buffalo wings… delicious
4. Tartar sauce is awesome
The one complaint, the salads always seem watery.
Get Jimmy’s a try, you’ll love it.

I don’t know how this restaurant stays in business I’ve eaten there for breakfast and dinner and they both were very bland. Breakfast is better because it’s a simpler meal but dinner was a disaster. They brought me the wrong food twice and when I finally got my food it was just okay.

This is a Resturant inspector dream!!! The star is for me for even going into this squaller

I come here for the fried chicken on Sunday’s, which is excellent by the way. Today I ordered the grilled chicken breast with yams. I love their yams so good! The wings and soups are also good! It’s a real family style restaurant, everyone’s friendly and you feel at home.

Still love the food but the blond waitresses are kinda tactless. My husband likes flirting too but me– not too much.

I’m surprised by the extremes of experiences at Jimmie’s. Perhaps it’s unavoidable in a restaurant open 17 hours a day. I give it 5 stars not because I compare it to the Four Seasons, but because it does a great job in doing what it does; knowing what it is. I’ve been there a dozen times and have never been disappointed.

Diner food, avg age is 70 years old +. You can eat healthy there, or very unhealthy. Debated whether to give 3 or 4 stars but settled on 3 mainly bc the service is below avg.

First time to eat here… WILL NEVER BE BACK. The seating took way longer than the 30min. The extremely rude hostess quoted us.
Didn’t bother looking at us at any point.
She has bad reviews here and I had hoped that it was just an every once in a while thing but no. At the end of our meal I saw a gentleman who was asking people how they enjoyed their meal. But he did not ask us since I’m sure he could tell it hadn’t been a good experience.
Now to the most important thing, the food. We ordered breakfast and our food all arrived at different times.
With some people eating while others waited. just plain mediocre food. No utensils were given. We had to ask 3 servers who all ignored us and the rude hostess. Nothing special about this place, unless you count horrible service and plain food.

I’ve always enjoyed the breakfasts here but dinner can be spotty and after tonight, I won’t be back.
My son and I found the original booth we were seated in to be uncomfortable; one bench too close to the table and one too far away and nothing was adjustable. I asked the hostess for another booth and she gave us one, but only after trying to convince us to stay where we were. Quite rude about it, even though there were other booths and tables available.
We ordered mozzarella sticks for an appetizer, my son got the chicken fingers and I got the nightly meatloaf special. The sticks were delivered by someone other than our waitress, who had a large serving tray with everything else going to the table behind us; she dropped down our plate of cheese sticks without a single word to us, just set it on the table and left. I find this to be unbelievably rude. Even just a simple ‘enjoy!’ or ‘here you go’ is fine.
I had to have someone send my waitress over so I could ask her if I was getting the soup and bread basket that are included with every special. She said, ‘yeah, you can have the soup… it’s vegetable; we don’t bring out the soup and bread basket unless you ask because we don’t want to waste it.‘
WTF? I’m PAYING for that in the price of my dinner! Don’t tell me you’re not bringing it out because I didn’t request it!
So you guessed it, she brought the soup and bread with the dinner, so of course, I didn’t eat the soup. And it got wasted.
Which didn’t really matter, because it wasn’t hot anyway. In fact, the only thing that was hot were the mozzarella sticks. Everything else was at best lukewarm.
When I left, the guy at the register asked how was dinner, so I said ‘mediocre’ and told him what had happened. (I had pre-​warned my son that I would, so he was waiting outside!) He said the waitress shouldn’t have said the soup and bread came only if you asked; that if you order the special you got them automatically. I handed him my cash, which was the exact amount and turned to go. He offered me my money back, but I didn’t take it, because that wasn’t the point.
The point was… your restaurant is falling apart. Rude service, sub-​par food, and you’re cheating your customers who pay for soup and bread but don’t receive them. I hope you will take my comments to heart.
That was the point.

Food is delicious! Atmosphere is fun and casual. The restaurant staff is very friendly and helpful. You can tell it is a hotspot for locals and out-​of-​towners alike! They even feature southern food that can only be found in the Carolinas. My pancakes were so good I didn’t even touch the syrup.

Large and cheerful restaurant, outside looks like it had been an Applebees in a past life. Greeted warmly by hostess and brought to table quickly. Booth was comfortable and also sparkly clean. The meals were all quite reasonable, I had the turkey with dressing. It came with gravy, cranberry sauce and choice of two sides. I opted for a salad and fried squash. The lettuce on the salad was wet and it made the dressing run, so I wasn’t very happy with the salad. The fried squash was so good. It was lightly fried with very little breadcrumbs, the flavor was just superb. The turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce was all very good, the stand out was the dressing. What a wonderful surprise when I got to it under the turkey. It was like a hidden prize. I do not know what was in it, but it was just the right amount of spices, vegetables, and breadcrumbs. I would certainly return and get this dinner again. The service was also excellent. Hubby had pork, it looks yummy and he cleaned his plate. Other friends had something Italian which came with garlic bread. Great job Jimmie’s.

Breakfast like it should be! I’m from Chicago where we have great breakfast places everywhere. Since moving to NC I haven’t found a breakfast place to love… Until now. I went this morning with a hankering for an omelet and was not disappointed. I had a cheddar omelet with mushrooms, tomatoes, and spinach, and paired it with a mountain of hash browns and bacon. They did everything right. My fiancé got a mountain, really, a mountain of French toast which he raved over. I am so excited to have a go to spot for breakfast!

We’ve eaten here twice now… once for lunch and once for dinner and I don’t think I’ll go back. The best part of lunch was our waitress. She was personable and just nice, which goes a long, long way for me. The food was just ok. I got the Ruben and my husband got the chicken and dumplings.
We went back for breakfast on a Sunday. I’m all about the hash browns, which weren’t all that good. I’m not a big fan of paying for something I can make better at home, and those fell into that category. I got the Spanish omelette and it was a hair undercooked. My husband got the western omelette and it was plain tasting.

It may be a hit or miss situation here. Had breakfast with my daughter this morning. The Irish Benedict was amazing! My daughter got sausage gravy biscuits… yum! The home fries… not so much. Cold, dry, hard, bland.
Wouldn’t be opposed to giving it another go! Nice people!

I pitty any person that believes this place serves a decent breakfast. I have had breakfast here 3x and EVERY time I get COLD toast that had to be sitting out for at least 10 minutes. My eggs are never warmer than room temperature. The grits come up already half hardened and the omlettes… all it is is eggs with stuff in it, they do absolutely nothing special to them.
I’m not a chef and any breakfast I cook in 10 min is far better than anything I have had at this dive.
Bottom line: places like this are only in business bc it is a family establishment and bc some people are too foolish to try a new place that serves decent food.

I’ve been here a handful of times for business gatherings and a couple times with the family. Breakfast on Sunday mornings have been my best experiences. The dinners are ok. There is nothing bad but nothing stands out as great! We stopped in for dinner last night, my wife had the baked chicken and stuffing. The chicken was moist and tasty but we couldn’t figure out why the stuffing was sweet. This place goes down as my «in a pinch» stop.

I’ve been here a few times, always with the same experience and always leave saying «I don’t think we’ll come back here.» So the last time I was here I asked «Didn’t I say I wasn’t coming back here?» Then I was reminded why I say that every time.
The menu contains pretty typical American food. Prices are fine. Food is fine. The service is hit or miss. We are usually greeted (if that is what you can call it) by a young and not so happy to be there hostess, and then after a good wait, we get sat. Service is slow, but for the most part the waitresses have been kind enough. We usually wait a long time for the waitress to take our order, then wait a long time for the mediocre food, then wait a long time for the check. Then wait at the check-​out counter for somebody to acknowledge us. The atmosphere leaves you with a sense of nobody really cares, and nobody has any pride in the place. I know this place gets busy and the staff is stretched, but I feel that something, anything should be GOOD. But it is just… fine, I suppose. After writing this review I will remember my words «I don’t think I will be back.»
