A local diner with plenty of parking, good spacing of tables for social distancing and fairly clean bathroom. There was also sign at the door that masks are required and all the staffs were wearing a mask when we came in. We stumbled upon the place nearing the end of our 3 hour drive from NY to Jiminy Peak, looking for dining options, we pulled into their parking lot to check yelp. It was 2pm on a Sunday and looking through the window it looked empty so we decided to dine in. The diner was decently spacious though with old carpet smell. The service was friendly and efficient. We had egg salad sandwich which my wife enjoyed, chicken tender with fries that we salted generously and a reuben pastrami sandwich that was delicious with sauerkraut, russian dressing and swiss cheese. About a 15 min drive from Jiminy Peak, it was a dining option for us on the way there. read more

This beautiful place is held up by the amazing staff, who were so kind and friendly to me despite being a sweaty mess at the time. The service alone bumped them up a star. The food though had a bit to be desired. I have their slouvaki, which has subtle herbal flavors but no strong flavor to complement them. They got my food out quickly but I think I would have preferred to wait a bit longer and had more flavor in my chicken. The Greek salad that came with it was amazing though, such a good blend of string flavors. I'd happily visit the place again just for that salad and to support the kind people that work here. read more

Yummy fresh sandwich and typical diner fare (so much more than pizza). We appreciated the great service from the owner Jimmy and his wife after a long road trip. Will be back! read more

I enjoyed an excellent breakfast. I had a blueberry cornbread French toast. Real fresh local blueberries, real maple syrup and fresh creamy butter. Bacon was excellent. They even had a little side of fresh melon as a garnish. Great diner coffee. I will be back again for sure. Jimmy D. Even came out to check on his customers. read more

Servers very nice and a clean diner atmosphere. Food not so good. My burger was poor quality and I could not eat it all for this reason. Italian food was bland with mediocre quality. A bit pricey for the quality but will do in a pinch. read more

The grilled cheese and onion rings were great! They were the perfect kind. We also appreciated our server's kindness and friendly banter after a long day on the road. read more

Jimmy and his wife are fixtures in New Lebanon. The diner is a social gathering spot with all the traditional fare of a diner. Good good. Nice people read more

Surprisingly good. I've passed by Jimmy D's many times on a trip between NYC and Manchester, VT. This time, I opted to pop in as the timing to eat was right. The service was excellent and attentive. I ordered a greek salad which was surprisingly good. The feta was crumbled over the salad rather than being served in chunks. The olives actually had pits! Good job. Dressing was on the side and the onions were not overwhelming. I like the pepperoncini on top - even though they always squirt and get all over me. My entree was the chicken souvlaki. The chicken was cooked well and not dry. The tzaziki was a little too yogurty. It needed more lemon, cucumber and dill and was too runny - needed to be thicker. The pita was very doughy, almost like it needed to be grilled more. Still, it was good, not as great as the salad. They have a great selection of burgers, pizza and pasta - it's not a full diner menu like you would expect. Still worth stopping in as the people were great, food was great and the prices were right. read more

This is small, casual,locally owned Greek restaurant. We met the lovely couple who own it. The royale souvlaki and chicken and eggplant sorrentini were outstanding. Service was quick. Everything was clean. It is not fancy read more

This is a great place to stop along the way . Its an old school american diner. They advertise as Pizza Royale and Restaurant. Its predictable american diner menu and pizza family restaurant. It feels like 60's or 70's vintage. Including paper placemats with local ads. And candy counter at the register. Spotless and intact with out over doing it. This nostalgic vibe will bring back good memories of old on the road style roadtrips read more

Pretty sure we order from here at least once a week! My favorites are the chicken souvlaki and their pizzas!

We went to eat there, kids were starving it was 6:00 oclock on a Friday night. We had to wait close to half an hour, two out of three of us got our meals. Then another 20 minutes and our last meal arrived. Food was ok, not great, but kids were happy so we went back. On our second visit, there were five of us, me, kids and grandparents. This time another wait, of half another but restaurant was empty. Three of us got our order, not the grandparents. We asked about our order and were told the waiter forgot to put it in but would immediately. Another 25 minutes we were ready to leave and the food arrived, No apology. I will not return, food is mediocre and service is terrible. read more

There are lots of good Greek options and the prices are very reasonable! The salads are absolutely humongous and the people are very nice.

Try a Pizza. You'll be surprised. It's as close to Brooklyn as you can get in a upstate local business. They are very friendly and have a big selection of different foods. read more

Ordered the chicken souvlaki, on a pita. I would have gotten fries but that would be an extra $5.00. The iced tea was $3.25, seems a bit much. I don't mind paying a fair price but this places seems too pricey for the food they're serving. I won't be back. read more

We've been coming to Jimmy Ds for 15 years. It's part of our ski trip to Jiminey Peak. The owners and staff are all very friendly and accommodating. We usually come in with a very large party and they always get us in and out quickly. The food never disappoints and the coffee is always hot. I highly recommend this diner. read more

Ordered a pizza for pick-up and you could tell just from looking at it that it was a pre-made pizza. The ingredients were cheap and the cheese was like rubber. read more

The local diner. Friendly owners. Consistently good food and service. Prices reasonable. Greek salads are huge and tasty. Burger specials are great when they have them. Very accommodating to special dietary needs/allergies. It's got that classic diner feel from "Every-town, USA." The hostess will seat you or counter seating, burgers, souvlaki, breakfast, and prime rib on the same menu, and the rice pudding and pies are on display...you know THAT diner. You've been there a thousand times and you keep going back. read more

How can you screw up something as simple as a hamburger? I asked for medium well and it came out raw. I sent it back and it came back a little less raw. I was afraid of what kitchen staff would do if I sent it back again so I ate a few bites and called it quits. Waitress was apologetic but otherwise inattentive. Horrible experience. read more

Made a substantial mistake on my order. No big deal so I called to fix. Then they blamed me for the mistake and didn't even offer to make the item that I ordered. So I reached out again and they apologized and offer to refund that item, which i accepted. Then they never refunded the 25 dollar item. I would stay away, god forbid they mess up your order - no dinner for you and they'll keep your money. read more

The pizza here is thick, greasy, and full of toppings. I think it's delicious, but really, it's all a matter of taste. I would also say that it's the best option on the menu. Everything else has that fresh from the freezer kind of feel... They are open every day of the week except Tuesday. I'm not sure of the exact hours, but I know I've been there for breakfast and for dinner before. I don't recommend them as a breakfast place-- a friend of mine ordered a waffle that looked like it came directly from a Pillsbury box. They do have a full bar and a decent selection of grade B beers. For me, the pizza is really the saving grace of this place. Otherwise, I wouldn't have a reason to go there. read more

Stopped here on a recent road trip & was very pleasantly surprised. We stayed with the Greek/Middle Eastern fare & really enjoyed it. The Greek salad was very tasty, fresh greens, plenty of feta cheese & lots of vegetables. The Spanakopita was delicious & a bit salty (probably due to the feta) & the chicken sandwich on the pita bread was also very good.. Service was pleasant & very helpful. I'd give it a try if in the area. read more

We just stopped with the family and we very pleased with the service and food. Would def come back read more

We were seated quickly and the server was friendly and attentive. The food was not consistent at all. The chicken wings were the fattiest I have ever had. It looked like I was leaving meat on the bones, but it was all fat and gristle. When I asked for ranch dressing instead of blue cheese, I was told they don't have ranch dressing. Not a big deal, but another straw on the camel's back. The Jimmy D's souvlaki was "ok" according to my wife. The pizza was pretty decent, although extremely greasy and the crust was a little on the tasteless side. The tables are ridiculously close to each other. I know everything about the family that was sitting next to us, as well as the family sitting kitty-corner to us...and they weren't loud talkers. read more

We had a large group, so we had a good sampling of their menu. The food served varied from superb to inedible (stuffed shrimps or fish). The usual diner food turned to be safe choices (fish & chips, cheeseburger, fried clams, etc). The staff was friendly and attentive, otherwise it would have been two stars. read more

Alright, local here. Mind you, I've traveled quite a bit and I grew up here. The food is pretty decent. It's a diner, so what more can you expect? Depending on who you get, the waitresses can either be amazing or fairly horrible. The place used to have a bunch of awesome waitresses, but they've left and moved on over time. This isn't really a town you stay in. It's kind of a town you pass through, so you can't blame them for leaving. The restaurant is run by a very nice, Greek family. That said, it really is a Greek restaurant and if you want the best food they have to offer, it's the Greek food. The Greek salad is very good. It's a bit soggy, but that's because of the oils and olives put into it. The cheese is my favorite part of that salad. Personally, I don't really order anything here except the pizza. We usually order the Royale. It's always the same every time. It's hearty, wholesome, and not very expensive. If you want a nicer, fancier restaurant, go to Mario's. This is a diner. Expect diner-quality and don't complain about it on Yelp if you don't get 5-star service or 5-star quality food. read more

We stopped here to get a seltzer. It was as fantastic as the service and we left as happy as we came in which was one step above a man letting loose in Louisiana. I will for sure enjoy a sparkling water or possibly a meal each time I pass by this town or around it or become part of it inside of it read more

Jimmy D's Restaurant - Me enjoying my seltzer:) - Pizza Near Me - New Lebanon, New York

This was a quintessential midwest 50's diner. All four of our party enjoyed their meals with big portions. The omelet was stuffed with ingredients and the pancakes were IHOP worthy. read more

Good home cooking. Jimmy Ds wife Ellen makes the soup. The place to meet the locals. Learn the northern Columbia County area and enjoy good simple cooking. read more

We ordered pizza, which, from my extensive knowledge of the market frozen food section, was not freshly made. It came out of a box. Right down to the cardboard disc underneath. My Pepsi was 2.75 (!) with one and only one! refill, according to the menu. Not going back and we go by here all the time. read more

We make it a point to visit Jimmy D's at least once a month, if not more, for one major reason: The Greek Salad. They have a great greek salad, but the real star is the greek salad dressing. We will often pick some up to bring home. They also have a great Chicken Parmesan, which is fairly standard fare but is done very well. They also have a Chicken Parmesan casserole which is very good. They have a great list of nightly specials. If you can find the stuffed sole on the special list, I highly recommend it. The linguine with clam sauce is also excellent. The pizza is just okay. Not great, not bad, merely adequate. It's fairly reasonably priced, The steak was also pretty standard diner fare, but you don't go here for steak, you come for the greek, or italian dishes, which is what he specializes in. The owner and waitresses are very friendly and will make it a point to remember your name if you frequent his restaurant. The restaurant itself is neat and clean, with cool fresco's of a seaside Greek resort. There is a bar area as well as booths and tables. Minor problems aside, if you go to Jimmy D's and order the right foods, it's a great restaurant find in the middle of a very dry area for restaurants. The prices are reasonable and the food is good. I'd recommend it to anyone. read more

We stopped here when we needed a place to eat while staying at a nearby campground. The menu was primarily limted to italian food, greek food and sandwiches, but the Chicken Parm that I ordered was delicious. My wife got the crab-stuffed tilapia on special and it was really good as well. The decor is nice, the walls are painted to look like a seashore view of the Mediterranean. The service was efficient but a little slow. I assume it was because they were so busy that night. Parking was very easy, they have a large parking lot in front of the restaurant. I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a decent meal on the road. It's obviously frequented by the locals and was pretty packed when we got in. A good restaurant for dinner. read more

Good diner and I wouldn't mind stopping again to check out some of the other things on the menu. Great and attentive service. My two kids liked the kids menu and devoured their food and their milkshakes. read more
