I like it here. It’s older and a bit worn maybe. Old school even. But it feels like home. Food was good. Waitress was great. And even with a 50 cent egg surcharge due to Bidenomics, still a good deal for breakfast! Heck yeah come here. Sure wish a Leander area location existed. Come...Read More

As soon as you walk in, you’re greeted with a cozy environment. The restaurant has an interesting history. They offer nice deals for kids AND seniors. The coffee is fresh and wonderful and the food beautiful, fresh, and tastes amazing.

Got the cheese soup, burger, and my daughter got a huge pancake platter off the kids menu. It was all delicious, the staff was great, and the prices were fantastic. I can't wait to go back.

They make the best chicken salad hands down. There breakfast is always top notch. The prices are beyond reasonable. The waitresses and waiters here are very friendly and could compete and win against any 5 star expensive restaurant.

Stopped by Jim’s Restaurant for breakfast and I was impressed — the Buttermilk Pancakes were fluffy and perfectly browned, and their Chicken Fried Breakfast (hand-battered chicken on top with gravy and eggs) was hearty and comforting. The Texas Omelet, stuffed with bacon, sausage, diced ham,...Read More

The classic diner experience. If you are looking for a no frills good meal, come here. Been eating their tortilla soup and breakfast tacos for years, and I will continue to do so until they close.
