Food was amazing. Service timely. Reasonable pricing. Only thing that needs improvement is the waiting area (tight with people checking out and waiting to be seated). Also, a better system to keep account of which customer enters first. read more

Busy place. It is a small town cafe. Nothing special about the decor. Chairs are okay and the tables were clean. The building looks a little small and the parking lot is very big, but inside is bigger than it looks. The food was okay, nothing special, but if you need somewhere to get food before you hit the road it's a great place to stop. read more

Jimmys Cafe - #7 - Cafes Near Me - Mineral Wells, Texas

My buddies and I took a motorcycle ride to Mineral Wells on a nice Sunday morning. I was looking for a good breakfast spot and saw some great reviews. I was pleasantly surprised to only wait 10 minutes for a table of six at 10 am on a Sunday. This staff is so friendly too! This is a good ole fashioned diner that was willing to serve breakfast, lunch or even dinner if we wanted. The food was good! Loved the biscuits and the bacon was on the thicker side too! All for under $15. Impressive! read more

This is a classic example of an old time diner that has friendly staff and wonderfully prepared grub. I had the meat loaf that was just like grandma used to make. This is a good place to eat. Don't hesitate to go in. It is an old school diner reminiscence of HAPPY DAYS! read more

Had a nice breakfast with my sister and niece today. The food was tasty as always. I had the garden omelet with the breakfast potatoes and a side of grits. Unfortunately, the grits left a bit to be desired. My niece, no matter the meal, always gets the fried pickles and they didn't disappoint. The service was wonderful and entertaining as always. This place is nice and understated. A great place to go when you want to grab a bite and just have a nice visit. We'll be back. read more

Went on local recommendation, as we were in MW for the day. Service was great, food was average. Hubby's sausage patties were hockey pucks- almost burned. Eggs were ordered as over medium-well and were runny. Omelet was a large portion and cooked well. Hash browns and French toast were tasty. It was really busy and folks were waiting to be seated, so it's obviously popular with the locals. read more

The ambiance is an old and worn out diner from many years past. The owner and wit staff are super friendly and kind. The food is ok. Homemade feel but not prepared in the best way possible. Lots of grease and oils. They don't serve real butter . Prices are most reasonable and plates are full. So you really feel like you get a good portion for your money. My biggest issue is the cleanliness of the kitchen and food prep. Diners are not know for their sanitation practices and with the economy squeezing everything, I just wonder read more

I come here maybe once a week for breakfast. Staff is always cheerful & food always good. Don't overlook this little gem. read more

Delicious! I had a wonderful waffle topped with strawberry and fresh whip cream. This was not from a can. Exactly what I needed for breakfast. He had a huge waffle combo for breakfast we even had leftovers. Servers were awesome even packed us a coffee to go! I'll be back when I visit later this year. read more

A Texan American traditional cafe , hearty breakfasts and lunches. The parking lot was crowded when I arrived, I wasn't sure if I'd have a seat! I was seated immediately, ordered coffee and a #6 breakfast; two pancakes, bacon, and a scrambled egg. My order was perfect though the cakes were fluffier than I prefer, they were tasty indeed. The bacon was crispy and my egg well cooked, as I had ordered. I didn't wait long for the meal. Hot and pleasantly served by a sweet lady. I tipped, paid, and left in thirty minutes! Off on US180 to Midland. read more

Jimmys Cafe - A full room this Saturday morning. The parking lot was full! - Cafes Near Me - Mineral Wells, Texas

Jimmy's Cafe in Mineral Wells, TX is a real gem.  This is what they talk about when they refer to the "Heartland of America".  This is the kind of place that morning TV shows send reporters to in order to interview the average American.  This is real food for real people.  There are no "Very Berry Crepes" here, or anything with whipped cream or powdered sugar.  This is definitely the place to be for breakfast in Mineral Wells.  The place was packed with people waiting for a seat at 10 am on a Friday morning.  The atmosphere is friendly, clean and efficient. The food is good and the prices are beyond reasonable.   When in Mineral Wells, this is the place to come for breakfast. read more

This was a perfectly cooked breakfast, very classic diner, good drip coffee. Perfect over medium eggs! Husband had chicken fried steak breakfast and it was a huge homemade CFS! We will definitely be back read more

The reviews were great. We came in with our family of 4 and the service was absolutely terrible. I have never been treated this way in any restaurant. Our waitress was apparently the owner's daughter or relative. She actually yelled at my husband for asking about our meal after several tables who came in after us were already eating. She was extremely abrasive and rude. Jimmy the owner wouldn't say anything against his daughter. We didn't even get to try the food. I couldn't eat after the awful service. It was that bad. read more

Actually a hole in the wall but must be a local favorite because the place was packed. Older restaurant (what you would expect from a small town diner. Don't let the looks discourage you! The service was great and the food in my opinion was better than some of your local chains. I ordered the Hamburger Steak breakfast and the patty was so tasty! I can only imagine the hamburgers are excellent too. read more

Stopped in after checking out the (closed down) Baker Hotel and was very pleased with everything. I love that they serve coffee in random mismatched mugs, the waitresses call you "baby" & "sweetie", and our food was brought out in record time. I had the chicken & waffles it was very good. Maybe a teeny bit too much batter on the chicken but no biggie, still great. Husband had the number 6 combo and ate every single bite. Very much a quintessential diner in a small country town and we loved it. read more

Best breakfast food restaurants in "Mineral Wells"! If u stop in u must try their "The Kitchen Sink" W/ their reaper hot sauce! great portioned meals it's well worth it read more

My family and I tried Jimmy's for the first time this morning, The pancakes tasted like biscuits , my grandsons bacon omelette looked good until he saw the black burnt beyond recognition crumbs of I guess you could call it bacon ? Everyone else's food was good . Everyone has an off day . However? When you ask for a refill on coffee and the waitress has two separate pots filling people's cups one fresh , one old , and she gives me the bottom burnt coffee, and uses the other pot for everyone else's ? Let's just say , I don't believe in coincidence ? Our waitress Michelle was excellent, the older lady filled my cup with coffee grounds, 2 out of 5 meals almost uneatable . The sweet tea was fresh and delicious. I gave Michelle 70.00 for a 53.00 tab let her keep the change . Doubtful that I will ever go back to Jimmy's Cafe' Unless they make it known they have a new much Better Cook . It's a small town, lived here a year , first time there and probably my last ! read more

This is an updated review from Trip Advisor in 2017. Don't know if it's better now because I opted to not return because of the initial visit. I put this place on my list due to amount of excellent and very good reviews, but it's nothing to rave about. Could have ordered lunch but opted for breakfast. Ordered two over medium eggs with sausage patties, hash browns, biscuits and gravy. Everything but the biscuits & gravy was average at best. Coffee was terrible, very bitter. One egg was overcooked. Hash browns were skimpy in portion and dry. Was there for five minutes before anyone greeted me, and I was sitting at the counter! Overall, my visit was very disappointing read more

It was delicious! Yes took awhile to be seated but it is a small diner and busy! Loved everything about this place!

No one acknowledged us at the door - we stood there waiting. There was a long strand of hair floating in my boyfriends water. Chipped coffee mug- could've sliced my lip wide open and my boyfriend also had a chipped cup and the mug was still stained from the customer before... was it even thoroughly washed? This is a health concern. The Menu is confusing and clunky (needs spacing) The hash browns were not brown at all. Undercooked.... Mushy... wet (everyone at the table agreed) Pancakes were incredibly dry. The moisture has left the building. I didn't get eggs but my friend said friend says eggs shouldn't be crunchy. read more

My review of restaurant's is tough. I managed them over 32 years so I tend to be critical. The parking lot is rough. Watch your step. However if you want fast service. Great value for your food $$$'s. Really good home style food and waitresses that just make you feel good while your there. Then this is the place for you. This was our first time here and we don't live close but we'll be back. It's worth the drive. read more

The food is excellent always fresh the service is impeccable. I know you're not supposed to have favorites, but request Amber if you plan on coming to this fine establishment. They treat everybody like you are a local and it's wonderful... read more

I think we caught them on an off day. Service was a little slow, but they were busy. I ordered scrambled eggs and sausage with biscuits and gravy. The eggs looked like they had been fried and then chopped up to make them look scrambled. The biscuits were okay, but the gravy was very thin and tasteless. read more

When you hear of small town diners, this is the place. Had that feel to it. Waitresses always smiling laughing and cutting up with everyone. First time there made me feel right at home. Food was excellent!! Been back many of times. Very clean for as busy as this place gets. read more

Wow! As a local, I love to go with friends to eat breakfast and it never fails to be delicious and not overly pricey at all. They have great business and are always busy but it never affects their speed and great attitudes with their service. Delicious with many options for breakfast and lunch, it's a local hotspot. Love it and plan on continuing to visit and enjoy great food very often! read more

Good food with excellent service, I recommend the kitchen, home atmosphere like being at grams house

I lived in Mineral Wells for about 15 years. I live about 2 1/2 hours away now & when I come to visit family I come here for breakfast every time. The CFS is absolutely amazing! They cook their bacon to perfection & the staff is always friendly. The pricing is very reasonable. They have a dish called the "kitchen sink" & it's great! It's an off the menu item though. It starts with 4 biscuits topped with your choice of bacon or sausage. They put hash browns smothered in gravy & on top. It's amazeballs. Great place, if I could give more than 5 stars I would. read more

Good food and very reasonable. Nothing fancy but good breakfast. Staff is very nice even when they are super busy.

Stopped for breakfast on a Saturday morning. The employees were busy little bees, very cheerful, and efficient. All tables were full and people waiting for tables to come open. Prices very reasonable and food was great! We will be back. read more

Lots of places serve a good breakfast, and Jimmys is one of those places. Start with super friendly service and a good variety on the menu. She tried to talk me into French toast but I had my heart(stomach) set on a Belgian waffle. Throw in the usual eggs and sausage, a delicious, perfect waffle, and the biscuits and gravy my wife didn't want, and I was a full and happy camper. Come for the food and enjoy the super nice service. They have lunch specials too. read more

This place is an absolute gem! Kind people, good service, great breakfast! Home-like feel. Highly recommend!!!

Great place to have breakfast. The only problem is the wait to get in because it seems like everyone in town goes here. Wait staff is always friendly. Definitely recommend. read more

A favorite for breakfast. Servings are plentiful, good price. You see a lot of regulars, especially for the breakfast run, because you get a filling, old fashioned meal. Lunches are still "plate lunch specials", with drink and dessert included, or you can order from the menu. read more

Food was delicious. They were packed but the service was great. Loved the homey feel.

Jimmy's cafe was recommended to me and I was not disappointed. This is an actual old style diner with good food and good service. This is a very difficult combination to find and I will continue to visit Jimmy's as often as possible. read more

Great food, friendly service, good prices. All you need in a family friendly small town diner.

Fantastic breakfast!! You'll never leave hungry. Just a great old school diner that serves great food.

Great place to eat! Coffee cup never runs empty. Very friendly staff and attentive owner. This place has changed owners a few time over the last 20+ years and it's still in business and you can see why. It is in my opinion the best cafe in Mineral wells! I recommend the kitchen sink I make mine dirty with peppers, onions and tomatoes also the chicken and waffles are fantastic read more

Get ready to wait. This is a nice local place, but they take forever. The restrooms need to be cleaned. The service is excellent and the people are charming. The food was good, though and prepared correctly. read more

My wife and I ate here influenced by all the positive reviews. Over all, we were very pleased. The service was great. Fast, friendly and our coffee and other drinks were always kept full. The food was good. The only thing I was not impressed with, was the biscuits and gravy. They were not bad but the gravy tasted like your standard made from a mix gravy. Although, it's getting hard to find a great homemade gravy anywhere these days. The cost was very reasonable. If we were ever in town again, we would definitely go back. read more
