We love going to Jim's. From the delicious food to the nostalgic atmosphere you can't beat this place. Not to mention it's owned by a wonderful family that cares about its community. read more

This is the perfect road side restaurant. Reminds me of the lobster shacks you find in Maine. No indoor seating. You can either eat in your car or on the picnic tables. I ordered a cheeseburger and fries. My wife got the fried tomato sandwich. We shared a blackberry milkshake and onion rings. Everything was spot on. Nice juicy hamburger. Fresh cut, crispy fries. Thick, tasty shake. A great experience. read more

Jim's is a classic! Good burgers, fries, hotdogs and shakes. Their hours are short and only open certain days of the week. Check their FB before you. read more

They close at 3 so no dinner hours. Could see it if Jim's was a diner specializing in breakfast or a bakery. But it's a drive-in with curb service. And features burgers, dogs, and fries. Summer nights?!? What a shame. read more

I don't know how it is that I haven't written a review for this place yet, but...hello, hi, I love this place. I especially love the prices (super reasonable). Please don't change. There aren't really any drive-ins that I know of where I live anymore, so it's fun coming here whenever I'm visiting. Their milkshakes are thick + creamy and you can't go wrong with the burgers! They also offer a variety of different sides (cheese sticks, fried mushrooms, deep fried green beans, fried pickles, chicken nuggets, fries, waffle/sweet potato fries, chili + cheese fries, potato wedges, potato salad...). Please note that there is no indoor dining, but they do have picnic tables out if you want somewhere to sit and eat during the summer. (You can also eat in your car, of course.) It can get pretty packed, so be patient! read more

We drove 2 hours because of reviews we saw online. My hubs ordered the English Dogs and a large onion ring, and I ordered the cheeseburger and a large fry. I'm not sure how small the "small" is if the large was as small as they were. English Dogs were ok, the chocolate milkshake was bland (not much chocolate flavor), and the Hamburger was pretty good. We were disappointed. read more

Great!! I love an old fashioned hot dog and cheeseburger! Good Stuff while on a road trip I'll return for sure!

Have you ever heard of the saying, "don't judge a book by its cover" ? Well this place fits the role of the book. At first glance, this place seems rundown and slightly abandoned. But, if you take a bite of the food here, you will most likely fall in love with the place and never want to leave. Trust me, I was unsure the place was even open at first but I quickly started to adore the food. It is a small place, with assumingely only 1 or 2 people working there, but I feel the chefs here pore their hard work and love into the food they make. The burgers here are divine and I think you'd be crazy not to get it (unless you are literally unable to, in that case I am deeply sorry for you and wish the best for you and your kin). You sit outside at Jim's but I would still arrive here if given the chance even in the freezing cold. Speaking of freezing, the prices here are frozen in time from the 90s. Everything is inexpensive especially compared to prices at other restaurants. It is hard--almost impossible--to put the greatness of this drive in into words. What's even better is that my sister loved it too! My sister is an extremely picky eater. She refuses to eat at oodles of different places (including but not limited to chipotle, Dunkin', Wendy's, Arby's, Burger King, and a lot more) but she wanted to go here for her birthday after she had first had it. All in all, I cannot recommend Jim's drive in enough and hope you come here!! read more

The place is a Lewisburg icon. It was also on the list of the top 50 hotdogs in WV. Overall, the staff was fantastic. The outdoor seating was plentiful. The hotdogs are fantastic! They just needed a little more toasting on the inside of the bun to make this the best in WV read more

Jim's Drive In - Hot dog, WV style - American Near Me - West Lewisburg, West Virginia

I'm going to have to revise my review... This has always been a favorite place of mine and I just raved about it in my last review. And I'll rave about it again if they go back to making burgers the way they used to--from fresh ground beef. Today I ordered a cheeseburger, shake and fries. The fries were fresh and wonderful as they used to be and the shake was great. But the burger was one of those pre-formed frozen patties, and not seasoned as well as they used to be. Disappointing!! I hope they go back to using fresh ground beef. If so, I'll give em 5 stars again! read more

Burgers and Dogs, drive in style. The food is good. The hours are a little weird, but for a quick hot dog fix, this is your place. Not sure about serving beer to motorists, but hey!!! read more

Excellent food and service!! This was festered on diners, drive - ins and dives!! Every thing is delicious, you can't go wrong!. Nostalgic feel!! read more

This is always a must visit spot when I'm visiting family in Lewisburg. The pro's: It's charming, you can eat at your car or on one of the many picnic tables. The burgers, hot dogs (English style!) and fries are always a winning choice. That's really what they do and do well. My Mom had a BLT and she enjoyed that as well. The Caveat: During busy times (think 12-1), the wait is terribly long so don't go expecting to have a quick meal. Be ready to relax, breathe in the mountain air and enjoy a leisurely lunch! Tips: The regular burger is pretty big and filling. Ask for the special of the day - we got a great deal. If you want your drink before your meal, make sure to say so when you order as they bring it out with the food! read more

Who doesn't love a classic drive-in! This is one of my most favorite places. When I am back home, the trip is not complete without a visit to Jim's. I always order the Big Jim's special, but their menu is very vast with offerings like hotdogs, hamburgers and sub sandwiches. The Big Jim's Special is a homemade barbecue pork sandwich with slaw and fries. Lets brake it down. The pork is home made slow cooked so it is tender and juicy with a homemade sauce mixed in. Some of the best bbq that I have had. The slaw is finely shredded with a creamy yet slightly tard slaw dressing. You can get this on the sandwich and on the side. The bun is toasted which gives it that little something extra. The fries are freshly cut and fried. Amazing flavor. My parents went to Jim's when they were dating, this place has been around that long. Just goes to show that quality lasts! I will warn you, it will get busy and there is no indoor dining. They do have multiple areas under shelter with tables and chairs for summer dining. The parking lot is not large, which is why it gets pretty packed. Be patient, the wait is well worth it. read more

Yum! Stopped at Jim's Drive-in for a milk shake, butter finger shake to be exact! Cute drive up establishment where the waitress greets you at your car window and takes your order. Old school trays to hang on your car window and waitress wears change belt (cash only). We ordered a side of fried pickles, why not? They were delicious and the shake was a perfect compliment (sweet and savory). Shake was especially thick and creamy - could have used a wider straw. read more

While Jim's does have a huge and varied menu (everything from pizzas to fried green tomatoes), my family is old-school. Everytime we go there, it's either their hotdogs with their home-made chili and cole slaw or one of their hand-made hamburgers and their fries or onion rings. And of course we have the root beer or a shake. It's a great place and a little bit of history in this VERY historical town. Unfortunately we don't get down there enough to have a chance to try their other specialties. However, while they have changed hands a couple of times since the Original Jim ran it, it's always been family run. In former days (the 60's - 80's), it was a favorite hang-out for all the high-school and college kids and everyone knew to cruise by there in the evenings to see everythings. My high-school class (Class of 74, Greenbrier East High School) met at Jims so much that it was chosen as our meeting point for our last high school reunion! We're having another reunion in July...... I wonder if we will meet up there again? read more

Neat little lunch spot. Very nice staff and very crowded. Food was ok: hot dogs were good, corn dogs good, fries had zero taste and need a vast improvement all around. Onion rings were ok. Not sure what all the hype is surrounding this place. Hopefully they pick up some new suppliers on their sides. Still a neat spot to grab a quick bite. read more

Old-timey restaurant where you don't have to leave your car...this place threw me for a loop but their oreo milkshake was probably the best I've ever had anywhere. Definitely stop by if they're open! read more

Wonderful food! The staff is friendly and fast. Food is always great and freshly made. I especially love their big fish sandwich on a big toasted hoagie type bun but better. The English style hotdogs are great and the buns are toasted to perfection. The prices are very reasonable. read more

Burgers were great. Price was definitely affordable as well. The only caveat was the long wait time - I believe around 30ish minutes for two burgers, but given the current situation we're all in, it made sense. Would still go again! read more

Sad - YELP said open so we zipped off the highway hankering for a shake and dog. Nobody answered the phone. Call first so you don't get your hopes up. Two people were inside but no one picked up. read more

Consistently good food. This is a very popular place and the food is made to order, so your wait time will reflect that. They have a fairly large parking area and I've had difficulty finding parking on more than one occasion, which also speaks to the quality of their food and service. We have tried several different flavors of milkshakes, hamburgers, hotdogs, and chicken strip basket. All were delicious. read more

Get the Big Ranch Burger w/ onion rings. This burger is one of the best around, so are the English Dogs. Milkshakes are great too. Pretty wide range of menu items, even some health food. Drive west on route 60 out of Lewisburg (towards Alta) and it's on the right at the top of the hill. The girls come out pretty quick to take your order so be ready. Recently it has been really good, better that before, don't know why... read more

okay, so I spoke to many of the locals and this was also my older friends birthday and she wanted to eat here. They do not take credit cards/debit, only cash. I had an "English" hot dog, a "Ranch" burger and a peanut butter milkshake, my friend had the BBQ sandwich, because that is what she remembered that was good. I have to say, I was disappointed on all fronts. While the hot dog was good, it was nothing to write about, a little chili and slaw on a very small dog.? Most of the menu is frozen, processed out of a box or can. Nothing homemade. And a bit pricey for that. A real shame, I heard it was different with the original owners. I will not be stopping by anytime soon or recommending this place to anyone. McDonald's would be about the same in my book only less expensive. The sign says, "Home cooked food to order", I don't believe anything here is Home Cooked! read more

Very annoyed. We drove out of our way from heading home from a long road trip, to stop here because of the great reviews and they were closed . It wasn't even 5pm when they supposedly close. So irritated. You need to update your hours if you aren't going to be open like you say. read more

Best of Best Hot Dogs ( English Style) in WV a must. Homemade Chili/ slaw/. Makes my mouth water. Not low cal. Used to have the best homemade fries too! Great Burgers, Barbeque and Homemade Desserts. Full Fat Milkshakes great if you dare that amount if Lactose. Fabulous Root Beer in a Frosted Mug. Just go there. read more

Took my younger brother there for the 1st time and hooked him up with the Big Ranch burger and onion rings. I had hotdogs with chili and slaw. Food was as great as it was the first time I went when I was a kid. Make sure to get a milkshake. My personal favorite is the peanut butter shake. Always go here when I come back home to West Virginia. read more

A must stop every time I'm in town!! Hillbilly hotdog, sweet potato fries, and a Carmel banana milk shake!! Also love their shaved ice in the pop! read more

The manager and staff were very friendly. Our waitress, Jessica, was very attentive. She kept our table clean and she was quick to clear away our finished plates and paper trash. When our drinks were getting low, she automatically brought us drink refills without us even having to ask. We ordered breakfast and the grits were the best I've tasted in a long time. Cooked to perfection. We would definitely go back to this location. Service was great and the food was too! read more

We arrived 10 minutes before closing and I suspected we'd be able to at least place a to-go order. Much to my surprise, our kind server said we'd be just fine parking for the drive in meal. They have the best homemade vanilla milkshake, french fries, club sandwiches (no tomatoes) and grilled cheese (lightly toasted). My son and I enjoy our time together talking, laughing and eating up here. It's a very special place. They added tomatoes to my club sandwich and I let our server know. She wrote no tomatoes and went back to get me a new one made. I thought it was really great that we arrived so close to closing yet we weren't rushed and a mistake was fixed with a genuine apology which really wasn't even necessary. Great prices for the food quality, always fresh and consistent along with the full experience is a must visit! Everyone here is always so kind no matter how packed Jim's can get at times, they're always close to check in on us! read more

Actually very good when they're actually open. Good, large burgers and fries that could give cool out or rally's a run for their money, neat to have a laid back place like this in Lewisburg read more

Very mediocre. Burger dry and therefore lacking beef flavor & that magical satisfying grease. (Yes, that IS what makes a beef burger a classic. Get over it.) Toppings were fresh and amounts adequate. Cole slaw side quantity laughable: think of that ubiquitous plastic cup that condiments are sometimes served in. Chocolate shake was forgettable. Lacked deep chocolate flavor to combat watered-down "issue" when other ingredient(s) added. Tasted like a DQ chocolate ice cream with some milk added. Servers were solid. Duration to receive burger, a ridiculous 30 minutes. Yes, the joint was busy but, 1) this joint has been around for ages and ought to know how to deal with it, and 2) two other "sets" served before me whose orders were taken after mine. read more

The best burgers you can find in Greenbrier County. I normally get the Big Ranch Burger and onion rings with a Raspberry Milkshake. The staff are amazing and go the extra mile to make sure you are happy. read more

So many good things...hard to chose!! Best burgers, hotdogs, fries and onion rings ever!! If you have room for a milkshake with some of that, get one! We never go to The Greenbrier without going to Jim's...but remember.....CLOSED on SUNDAYS and CASH ONLY! read more

We always stop in at Jim's on our travels through Greenbriar County. On this visit, my 5-year old son said "I'm adding this to my list of great [french] fry places!" And he's right, the homemade french fries and other drive-in fare is great! On this most recent visit we had hot dogs (amazing!), BBQ (always pleasing) and fries all around! Be aware it's cash-only here! read more

I didn't want a burger because I recently had one so I tried their BBQ pulled pork sandwich and that was very average. I would never buy it again. The spicy fried pickles were great though! And I did enjoy the fries. I had a mint chocolate shake and they threw in one mint patty and it wasn't crushed enough and l caused just a few huge chunks. So over all, I would go back to try a burger but not waste my time on shakes or BBQ. read more

I love Jim's but I never have cash so I can very rarely eat there. If they would just get a card reader they would make so much money. Also I hate parking there I am always getting trapped in. I had to stay for 45 min longer because me and my five year old got trapped by cars and couldn't get out. read more

1. Loved the old tin-shacky look of the place 2. Prices are reasonable ($13.00) 3. Food was on point. I had the footlong hot dog with chili and cheese (FYI the cheese is nacho cheese which I loved but some others may not like it on their dogs. I absolutely loved the chili too!) Along With the hot dog was my Big Jim Bacon Burger which is made to order (it was okay a little dry for my taste but not bad) Then I had a cookies and cream shake which I believe is made from real ice cream so another star for that-4! 5. The help is very sweet and welcoming! So if your looking for that classic "burger and shake" taste and just want a low key, relaxing joint. This is the place for you! read more

Unique eating experience that takes you back in time. Great food and even better ice cream. Staff is wonderful and prices are decent. Try it out if you're in town!! read more

I loved this place, from the nostalgia of a drive-in, to the varied menu, to the excellent service. We decided to try Jim's Drive-In because of the many positive reviews and because we had dogs in the car. We were waited on right away. I order the filet of haddick sandwich with fried. Served on a tray windowside, tge food was fresh, hor, and tasty. I. Highly recommend tryung Jim's Drive-In. read more
