This used to be one of my favorite places to go eat with the family. But over the last few months the quality has significantly slipped. We ordered a Jim's breakfast and half the food was cold by the time it hit the table. Our kids food was overcooked. It was just a sad departure from how good it used to be. Hopefully it was a fluke the last visit or two. read more

We haven't been to Jim's in years. Since my husband and I go out to breakfast often, we decided to go somewhere new. The restaurant looked packed on a typical Sunday morning. Which would typically dissuade us from even going in. But I decided to check and to our delight, they seated us immediately! The restaurant has been remodeled since we were there last, it looks great. The only problem is the cement floors and partial open ceiling make it really loud. But the wait staff was good, even though they were busy and the food was incredible!! We'll definitely be back!!! read more

Jim's Family Restaurant - Club Sandwich with fries. Some of the best fries I've ever eaten. - American Near Me - Riverton, Utah

See all

My family of six (including a two and a four-year-old) decided to have dinner at Jim's family restaurant in Riverton. The appearance was clean and well lit. We were seated immediately and our waitress introduced herself and took our drink orders right away. Her service was professional, friendly and polite. My Patty Melt was a classic, crisp sourdough toast and full of meat, onions and dressing. Our fries were extra crisp, just as we like them. The grandkids both had chicken tenders and fries, which they enjoyed. This is important because they will not eat dried out chicken or soggy fries. My wife had the Basso fish dinner that included a salad, soup, vegetables, and choice of potato. All of this was very good and nicely presented. Service was a bit slow, but to be fair she was covering a lot of tables and we had made a number of special requests to customize our meals. Overall, it was an excellent experience and I would certainly recommend Jim's as an excellent, reasonably priced family dinner spot. read more

The good was so yummy and fast and portions were good! My waitress was so kind and so generous highly recommend

Owner of the establishment was rude to my daughter. When I confronted her she was patronizing to me. Also, we had eaten and ready to leave, she didn't need to say anything to her. We will not be back.. Ownership should familiarize themselves with ADA LAWS specifically CFR 36.302 read more

Reviews Jim's The entrance of this place pushes customers away. You walk into a small lobby area where people check in and pay their bill but if you have a few groups waiting for their table it gets very crowded and like I said, pushes potential customers away. While we were waiting at least two groups walked in and right back out thinking it was too busy but in reality it was just people checking out. They would benefit from a redesign of the entrance. While they are at it, add a second register and some acoustic damping materials because that place is loud! We were taken care of by Shantae, she was great , super friendly and helpful. Huge shout out. The family ordered a variety of breakfast items which took about an hour from order to serve (it was pretty busy). 1. Country fried steak skillet - the potato's, peppers and mushrooms were on point! This was the best dish of the table. 2. Cowboy Jim's breakfast - the gravy is a bit bland but just add some hot sauce and/or salt. The use of sliced cheese is weird. The steak was really good! For sure recommend. 3. cakes and eggs (kids) - the strawberry syrup was great on the fluffy pancakes. 4. Strawberry smiley cake (kids) - pretty tasty, good strawberries. 5. Strawberry French toast - good, nice thick bread that held up to the syrup 6. Eggs Benedict - good and silky. 7. Country fried steak and eggs - enough to feed two people and tasty. Overall it was good, would come back but avoid the breakfast rush. read more

My family meets here most Saturday mornings. It's the only restaurant serving breakfast that we all agree on. We each have our favorite menu items, and it's always a five-star experience. A few times, we tried switching it up to other restaurants, but we ended up disappointed. Jim's serves larger portions leaving everyone happy and satisfied read more

BE WARNED...DO NOT EAT AT RIVERTON LOCATION! We are long time customers to Jim's restaurant...this only pertains to the RIVERTON location. 2 years ago the food and service were great..it has been only downhill since then. You can tell customers have left the scene because they charge an extra surcharge if you use a credit card and are probably desperate for money. They have a high turnover of staff now with the remnants scraping the bottom of the barrel...they used to have great service...the food used to be great...but not now. A waitress even complained that my phone was too loud...and another staff member made me aware that if we never came back that would be ok. When you have staff who doesn't care about customers it is game over for that restaurant. The manager needs to be fired and the staff upgraded, they will destroy what's left of their reputation. Be warned! Do not eat at RIVERTON location...spend your money at another Jim's . read more

The food substandard. I ordered the rueban it was awful. My daughter got the chicken fried steak and eggs and that was ok.

Jim's use to be one of my favorite places for a good home cooked meal, but while recovering from the pandemic they raised their prices once on the menu and now have raised their prices again without changing the menu. Multiple times I've been charged more at the register without any warning. As I finally inquired I was told prices had been raised and I protested that the menu needs to be updated then. After being told they could do nothing the manager finally came out and explained that the menu is the cash price. I said that was never offered to me and that should be on the menu. I'm not going back and no longer recommending friends till they fix this. It's just poor business and dishonest. read more

This restaurant is being super careful about covid! A sign on the door says maskless people will be charged $1 and given a mask. They have a list of covid symptoms and ask that if you have any, you order takeout instead. They have a sign in sheet to aid in contact tracing. They're limiting group size. And all the tables are spaced out. My kids got the strawberry smiley cakes and loooooved them. They said Jim's is now in their top 5 restaurants. I feel like everything could use more seasoning- more salt on the potatoes, more flavor in eggs, more egginess and cinnamon in the French toast. But allll this food was only $20 so I'm cool with it :) read more

Jim's Family Restaurant - Strawberry Smiley Cake (to go) - American Near Me - Riverton, Utah

At our last visit, they were not full and it still took them almost a hour to serve our food. When the waitress finally brought our food she also brought our check. I absolutely HATE when waiters do that! It's like they are saying, "here is your food and see you next time because I'm not coming back to this table." Well, sometimes I like to order extra fries, dessert or even a soda refill. As we were expecting she did not come back to bring the pancake syrup and I had to track her down to ask for it. She took her sweet time to bring the syrup. Not even once during the visit did she ask if we needed something. I would have thought that with all the Covid restrictions and people not going to eat out as much, restaurants would take good care of their clients that visit them. Sadly after our last two bad experiences at this location, we are not going back. read more

The Riverton location is superb. A lot better than the W Jordan location. Maybe they should spend some effort to improve the W Jordan location. read more

Delish for breakfast , super filling and affordable . It Can get very packed on the weekends and parking can be tough to find.

What an amazing place to have breakfast. Been to three different Jim's restaurant and it is always the same. Good service and good food is hard to find. Can't go wrong here with food. I enjoy it every time. Thank you! read more

Went for breakfast with a group. We were seated immediately. The decaf coffee was not drinkable. The eggs and bacon were cooked very nicely The potatoes were okay, the crispy parts were great. The omelette - bacon ,mushroom,and cheese was decent. The pancakes,when hot, were pretty good. Over all there was a lot of food, lie price. read more

Great breakfast with lots of hometown cooking feel. We had super nice service, hot coffee, jumbo cinnamon rolls, An avacado bacon and cheese omelette. I would recommend even sharing a few things because the portions are very generous. They were awesome with keeping my coffee filled and checking to make sure we were comfortable. I highly recommend stopping for a bite to eat. read more

Ordered the club. One of the best I've had in a very long time. Will be coming back for sure

I've gone here once and I regret every second of it, the food was disgusting and the eggs looked like a cutout piece of soggy sponge. The service was good, and the place looked nice. But I'm not going to like food just because the waiter was smiling. read more

Jim's Family Restaurant - The food was so bad that my hairline has started to recede so it can be as far away from a Jim's restaurant as possible. - American Near Me - Riverton, Utah

Ok. So you know Jim's and I'm sure most of you have eaten there. Today was my very first time! I had a bacon cheese burger and fries. The food was good. It was nothing uncommon or surprising. The ambiance was ok. The service? One word....AMAZING!!! Our server was Kyrstin S. She made sure that our drinks didn't run out. She made sure that we enjoyed our meal. I'm originally from Texas so I really appreciated the now and then, "y'all ", that she said. Kyrstin turned a common everyday lunch into a wonderful dining experience! Thank you so much!! I will be eating there again!! read more

Some things are great, somethings are a frozen TV dinner. Stick close to breakfast and you'll be safe. The country fried steak is a hungry man meal at best. read more

Jim's Family Restaurant - American Near Me - Riverton, Utah

Its your basic diner- no theme, no pleasant decor on the wall. Very dull, more of a cafeteria feeling if anything. Ordered burger and sweet potato fries and my father ordered omelet with pancakes. All the food was cold, very bland tasting. We just ate it cause we were hungry and didn't want to make a fuss. A lot of senior citizens in the restaurant, maybe they don't mind the bland cold food? I would recommend black bear diner over Jim's any day! read more

We have loved the American Fork Jim's location but recently moved to Lehi and this one was closer so we decided to try it out. Well long story short, we should have made the drive to AF. We ordered our usual. It was far from tasty. The biscuits and gravy were hard, dry & tasteless. The verde breakfast was bland and had no flavor. The pork tasted how I imagine dog food would taste. The French toast was hard and just not good. Not a good experience at all. This location was filthy and just had a weird vibe altogether. We won't be returning. read more

Jim's Family Restaurant - Biscuits & gravy.... Hard & dryer than Utah summers..... They came broken apart and thrown on the plate. - American Near Me - Riverton, Utah

A good family place, especially for breakfast. I have found that ordering meals that contain items close to the natural source is best. E.G. ham, bacon, steak, eggs, etc. is best. Items than can be supplied by a commercial food producer (breaded things....) will not be as good. I wish they served Coke products but I like the place for just regular food. read more

Not all Jim's are created equal, apparently. I'm not a fan of diner schlock. When I was dragged to this place, I was expecting the worse. They may have a nice newerish building but the menu was typical and it had the same bustling clientele. So when the meal arrived I was more than pleasantly surprised with the attention to detail. "Shocked" is a better word. It's the same food as you would expect. Frozen veggies. Bagged salad. Etc. But everything was like perfect. Super crisp super fresh salad served in chilled salad bowls. Freshly portioned dressing. I really liked the house Greek dressing whatever it was. The vegetables were pan sautéed and seasoned really well. Aren't you supposed to just boil them, slap them on a plate as garnish or something? I ordered the fish expecting the standard soggy mess I'd hide under whatever sauce they served it with. Um.... Super crispy, super moist, and super hot... I never touched the tartar sauce. It was that good. Even the baked potato tasted unusually amazing. And I'll say it.. they served the best bread pudding I have ever had in my whole damn life. Who the hell is back in that kitchen? Is this really a f#@!? Jim's? FML. I'm so confused. read more

Been coming here for 14 years. Prices have nearly doubled. Charging $5 for 1 cup of cottage cheese. Absolutely insane. A cup of tea is $4. All drinks are $4 each. Used to be around $2. Those prices are extremely high in comparison to the cost of those items. Our family has stopped coming. Sad to say goodbye after all these years. read more

After leaving IHOP hungry and frustrated from a long wait and no service, we were thrilled with our experience here at Jim's. We were seated quickly, no wait at all on a Saturday morning. Our server greeted us quickly and brought out drinks immediately. The menu is plentiful-has lots of great options. I chose a basic meal with eggs, bacon and pancakes. The eggs and bacon were great, the pancakes were a little dry, but not terrible. The ambiance of the restaurant is casual and comfy. It makes me feel like "Jim" may be in the back making breakfast while we chat in the dining area. I will definitely be back-I'd like to try the lunch menu next time. read more

Great service and good food. What else do you want. My go-to is the Chili Verde Breakfast, over medium eggs. Mix it up, enjoy with my sourdough toast! Oh yeah! The kids love the Strawberry Smiley Cake. My wallet loves the price. read more

Extremely satisfied with Jim's. We like to do Sunday morning breakfast out with the family. This place has been great since Black bear is constantly busy read more

We love this place. Great breakfast setting and better than average food. Hearty variety. Steak, Pork Chops, Corbeef hash. The toast and the French toast are perfect They have quick and professional service which is refreshing. The only improvement for perfection purposes is if they could fluff up the scrambled eggs. read more

Well...I have given Jim's one last chance to redeem themselves...but this morning was the last time. It was one of the worst breakfasts that I've ever had! The eggs were rubbery, the hash browns were undercooked, the sausage (that was supposed to be mild) was way too peppery and the (supposed) sourdough toast was just plain white bread! Not to mention the 7 flies that were near the window where they seated us. Needless to say... we moved to another table I have no complaints about the server. She was gracious, prompt and kind. But... when I went to pay the bill at the front desk... When she asked how the food was... well that was my opportunity ...I told her (I wasn't gruff in anyway) her response was "Well, you should have sent it back and had them cook it longer." What? And have the fry cook stop in my food.... ?No thank you. I did not hear I'm sorry. (I didn't expect a refund at all) but a defense of "I've never had anyone else complain." Really? I did then tell her. "You need a new fry cook!!! Paid my bill and left for good. read more

Love Jim's so much they have salads that are awesome. And they have so much more. Love Jim's

Jim's in Riverton is always great. My "go to" is usually the beefeater melt or the chili verde breakfast burrito.

Pretty good place for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Exceptional pancakes and absolutely amazing Utah scones with yummy honey butter. Chicken fried steak was very good. The scrambled eggs were real eggs and not carton eggs which I truly appreciate. Blackberry syrup was super tasty! Our waitress was the nicest young lady. Would definitely go back again to browse the rest of the menu. read more

Not gonna lie I may be a regular here. Can't go wrong with breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I've tried several things on the menu and I have not been disappointed with one yet. One of my favorites is the steak fajita salad. I may have inhaled it, that is how great it was. For breakfast I usually go with corned beef hash, it's the canned stuff but that's my jam. Not a big fan of the "hash browns" but they have country potatoes or fruit you can sub. The skillets, omelettes, and waffles won't do ya wrong. They have really good Chile verde top 25 I'd say. Anything with mashed potatoes or turkey.. turkey here is thick and always taste fresh. Uo oh I can't forget the fry sauce. Sometimes I get fries just to eat the fry sauce.. it's that good. Salads always have nice clean crisp lettuce, fresh veggies, and of course their tasty ranch dressing. This location serves mimosas, beer and canned wine. If you go in ask for Tondra, she's the bees knees and dances around that place like it's an art form. Don't forget to tip for the great service. read more
