A legendary staple of the neighborhood. Simply the best old school burger joint around. Small location, amazing staff and management. read more

Solid old time burger and sandwich counter. There aren't too many places like this where it's a nice no frills meal (read: not Instagramable) that always satisfies without being costly. Service is always quick and on point. Courteous too. read more

Really delicious diner spot on the UES! It's a tight space, but the diner vibes and seating are quite comfortable / charming. We came for lunch on a sweltering Saturday, and the diner had AC luckily. We got their cheeseburger (made deluxe adding $5 for fries/lettuce/tomato), the blue bacon burger, and 10 piece buffalo chicken wings. I personally really liked the cheeseburger, which had a thick patty and toasted buns. The blue burger was also good, but the blue cheese dressing was tie heavy in flavor and overwhelmed the rest of the burger a bit. The wings were super fresh and we got the hot wings with blue cheese, and it definitely had a kick / nice tang! It was cool to see the food being prepared in front of you. The service was friendly and fast, and the prices felt reasonable. I would definitely come back! read more

It's exactly as it looks a no frills burger joint. The price point is approachable but when you throw in fries or onions are they any cheaper then the blasket or Hendricksons. The burger is fair. The fries are a hard pass go for the onion rings. The bacon grilled cheese heavily or heavenly buttered sandwich is a hit! The egg salad could make you ask for seconds. Yeah it's good. This place is small, tight and is not fancy. Could I see my father eating here at the counter, yeah! For the most part you should be happy with it. Just don't expect a lot and don't make it anything more than what it is. A small hole in the wall that stands on its own making slightly above average for a decent price. read more

Great diner food and service. Perfect breakfast and start to the day. Making this my regular spot.

got my order wrong and left out the coleslaw. paid extra for onion rings and got french fries. first and last time for this place. read more

PUSHY owner. $26. for -2- plain hamburgers nothing on them. Not worth writing more you decide...........

Wanted to eat here but, grill man told me "No bathroom." What F'n restaurant has no bathroom? I'm a driver so, need at least this basic amenity when lucky enough to get a parking spot and have the luxury to eat in a civilized manner. Is the food any good? Who knows? Fuhgeddaboudit. read more

We've been to Jimbo's a couple of times and tried their burger, chicken sandwich and cheesesteak. Both times we've been underwhelmed. The food is not bad, just average. The fries are pretty good though, if you eat ''em fresh. Neater thought that for a while in the wall joint, it's quite pricey. We paid $18 each for a cheesesteak w/fries and a chicken sandwich w/fries. read more

We loved this place !!! The size of it is much like eating at Dad's counter -old school experience makes it awesome , it's not Michelin star but a great place to sit at a counter & be cozy. Everyone behind the counter is friendly . Burger and sandwiches were great , one of the best cups of coffee we've had in awhile .. midday too , not burned .. son filled himself with a chicken parm & got the last piece of chocolate mousse cake & a glass of milk.. counter fits about 7 and a few tables on the side .. my only regret is I realized I under tipped a few $ in error and I want to go back to deliver it -I'm still bothered by my stupidity hours later .. I love this place and the people in it & don't change a thing , I wish we lived nearby .. Met a man there said he frequents there - we would too if we could read more

They are truly the worst.. I called at 8:37 and was told they are closed.. how is that possible if the time says 9:00.. if you close at 8:30 say that and be honest. read more

Small space -- tiny! -- but it serves great diner fare, especially cheeseburgers. It's worth the walk to 1st Avenue.

Burgers and chicken sandwich very good but prices keep changing. One day charged $18.00 another $20.00 then another $21 plus was told that there was a charge for using a debit card. For. the. exact. same. thing. read more

Small little dinner type place. Very friendly. And great for breakfast. Haven't tried lunch but it seems to get a crowd. And the price is right. Egg sandwich was a good size and coffee was spot on. Enjoy your meal. read more

This is a classic American burger place with all the never ending list of burgers and kosher rice pudding. The burgers are sourced from meat from the butcher across the street which shows you the high quality that is put into the food. The service was quick and efficient especially when you're in a New York hurry about moment. Enjoy read more

Hole in the wall that actually serves up a good burger. The grilled chicken is alternate option for happiness. And of course the eggs, anyway you like them. A side of crispy bacon, decent coffee, and toast. It's hangover heaven even when you don't have the hangover. Love the neighborhood vibe too. read more

Went here for a cheap and easy breakfast. Definitely better than the other diners in the area in terms of price for value. Yes, there are better places, but they're more expensive. There are also worse places, also at a higher price! I liked my western omelet and home fries. Service was nice and friendly. Part of a dying breed of old school New York. Happy to go here since we're in the area, but would not go out of my way. read more

Great home style food. Diner menu options like burgers and full breakfast menu. Amazing prices

Loved the ambience, every time I see this place it will remind me of the time I stayed home from school in 6th grade and my grandpa told me to come with him, he took me to jimbos and we enjoyed our lunch together. The burgers are great but the style of the place is amazing. Jimbos has a special place in my heart read more

Having walked by this small diner many times, I had to give it a try. What grabbed my attention was the big picture of Emeril posted in the front window. This place is really small. There are 2 counters and about 3 tables. Ordered a beef burger and fries. No matter where you sit in the restaurant you will be able to see your food being prepared. In no time my burger was ready. It was a simple meat patty topped off with a slice of tomato, onions, and lettuce. A small side of Cole Slaw also accompanies your meal. The burger didn't blow me away. The fries were warm and crisp. The gentleman behind the counter is sweet. He is the cashier, cook, and server on most days. Extremely hard worker. Jimbo's is a nice place to grab a quick bite if you're in the area. I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to eat here though. read more

I was craving a burger the other day so found this as the closet "burger" joint nearby. It's a pretty small/intimate place with some bar seating and that's it. The waiter was friendly and handed me a menu. The menu was pretty full of many choices. I ordered a Swiss and Bacon Burger and got it back within a few minutes. I really liked this burger. It was seasoned well and the bacon was on point. The pieces were huge too. They definitely didn't nickel and dime you for that. Ingredients seemed fresh and cooked correctly. I had no complaints except I wish I bought 2 of them. If you're looking for a quick bite check them out. Let me know what you think! read more

Jimbo's Hamburger Place - Delicious simple burger. I like it. - American Near Me - New York, New York

Was it a burger? Yeah Was it good? Not really Was it fast and cheap as hell? Absolutely Went here just cuz I've been hungover as hell all day at work and don't feel like cooking or waiting long to get food. Walked up the block to Jimbos. Got a Texas burger and bacon cheeseburger with fries and onion rings. Total was $21 bucks. Which is ridiculously cheap for NYC. The place is tiny and a little dilapidated. One guy was working as chef, cashier, and waiter. That being said from the moment I stepped in and ordered to the moment I left took less than 15 minutes. So it was quick. Burgers were both super subpar. I literally watched the guy pull two patties out of the freezer and drop em on the grill, like frozen pucks of meat. Cheap ingredients means a cheap taste. It was fine. Definitely edible. But for sure not anything to write home about. Onion rings were the frozen kind where they all look exactly the same in size and shape. The fries were whatever. Probably won't be ordering from here again. read more

It's a great burger!!! What's not to like? I have been coming here for years and it is always consistently good. Love the eggs, bacon and home fries and their chicken wings are great when you ask for "crispy". The staff have been there a few years and know everyone so it's more than just getting something to eat. Love Jimbo's! :))) read more

Best burger ever!!!!!!! I've ordered from them a zillion times in the past and they are consistently the best burger ever!!!!!

Classic sitdown burger spot in midtown/upper east side. Really good comfort food for a great price. Long live Jimbo's

Good food, good prices, nothing fancy. Good diner style places are a dying breed. Went for breakfast, good pancakes. Wish they were open on Sunday, they beat all other places. read more

Excellent food and great vibe for old school nostalgia. Had turkey burgers and fries several times and always consistent

It was a delightful experience at the Jimbo's Hamburger Place. It is pleasant place. I made a decision to try their Cheeseburger for the first time, and it was way better that I was anticipating it to be. Service was amazing and everyone working here was extremely nice and generous. Overall, I think that this is an awesome place. read more

Okay, so dang. Walking down the street looking for lunch and was hit with a delicious burger aroma. So I gave this place a try. Old school counter place; I took my cheeseburger to eat outside. Thick, juicy, delicious, quick, and good value. I will definitely be back!! read more

I've been here quite a few times since it's literally around the corner from my uncle's apartment. I get the same thing every time, so I can't say too much about the rest of their menu. I can, however, talk about their burger and fries. Their burger is pure greasy deliciousness. Do I think it's the highest quality beef? No. Does it come with a million choices of toppings? No. But it's so good. They serve you a burger that's big but not too big, with or without cheese, on a simple sesame seed hamburger roll, wrap it up in aluminum foil, and send you on your way. If you get the deluxe it'll come with tomato and lettuce. Today they wrapped up a bunch of pickles for me also -- too bad I hate pickles. The fries are the perfect kind of greasy-spoon diner fries. They wrap foil around those too to keep them hot. They also tend to give me about 10 ketchup packets and enough salt and pepper to last me several months, but I'm not complaining, I try to remind them not to include it. Everyone who works here is very friendly and works hard to get your food ready quickly. I've never eaten here, since it would be silly to not just walk 2 blocks back to the apartment, but considering the size of the place, they have a decent number of seats available, including a fair number of stools and a few 2-person tables. One of these days I'm going to grab some breakfast here just to try something new. They have a sign that says they serve burgers all day though, so I may have to decide between an egg sandwich and a burger even if I'm here at 7am. Definitely try it out if you're looking for a great hole-in-the-wall greasy spoon and you're in the neighborhood. It's the best meal for your dollar in this area for sure. read more

Most affordable home cooked breakfast food!! First time visiting and definitely won't be my last time. $8.75 for an omelet, potatoes, toast, coffee and a shot of orange juice. Then a nap. Best way to start my day in NYC waiting on the hotel room to get ready. Jimbo's is a real hole in the wall and super small inside but the cooks are awesome. read more
