Midnight dinner here was awesome. The food was hot and tasty! Terrell our waiter was so polite and attentive! Great food and even better service. read more

YUM! Great food and even better service. These waitresses were hustling, especially Nena! I appreciated her effort to be quick because I was in a hurry and I didn't even have to worry about telling them. Too bad I'm moving or I'd be back here soon. read more

Texas Omelet was amazing but the grits and gravy didn't have any flavor at all. Very plain, but the omelet was satisfying for the time being

A long time friend and I went out to eat late at night (2:00 AM) and I suggested Jim's. I eat here frequently and and normally the manager Is this really cool friendly man. Don't remember his name but he has glasses. Tonight was different. The manager was somebody named Kim. The wait staff was friendly as we entered the door, and Kim greeted us and told us to sit wherever. We seemed to have chosen Willa's section. We placed our order and had a pleasant conversation with her but this is where things take a turn. At the 30 minute mark food started being brought out to other tables and Willa was definitely keeping our glasses full as we all waited patiently joking around with each other. At about an hour in Kim came by and apologized for the slow speed, and that the kitchen was understaffed. At 1hr and 20min Willa came back and apologized genuinely about our order not having been put in yet. She promptly entered it and brought us our appetizer almost immediately. Once our food showed up we were still missing things on the ticket (an entire TX 2 Step). The reason I'm writing this review is not to say anything dissatisfactory about Willa, but to talk about the management tonight! (Early morning on a Wednesday). During this whole rush that happened we never saw the manager do anything but talk and or stare. The way that tables were distributed was obviously imbalanced and the worst part was Kim's attitude during the whole exchange. No smiles and after we went to go talk about the ticket wich only included a free pair of eggs despite the missing 2 step. She glowered the whole time and when we left she immediately and obviously chewed out Willa right in front of customers. We saw her get chewed out at the register from the car (4:07 AM) and were immediately enraged. Willa was tripping over herself the whole night to do more than her share, with a great attitude. We saw neither from Kim. read more

The only place I can go where the coffee is cheap and the biscuits are like grandma used to make.

My son and I love Jim's. You're not going to go to Jim's and expect Ruth'a Chris. What you do get is consistency at a reasonable price with a smile. The hot chocolate and desserts are great. I've never had a bad breakfast and the burgers are always good! read more

Best late night drunk food. Pretty good sober food. Costs as much as Denny's but it's actually good.

For a good simple homestyle meal this place is perfect. Nothing facy, just tasty food available anytime. Sometimes after a late night that is just what you need. The service is exceptionally friendly. read more

Food was very good, but star of the show was Terrell, or server. He did a fantastic job.

I love we this restaurant! I grew up on Jim's and was delighted when no found another location when I moved up north. This has become one of my top go tos for any occasion! Shout out to Michelle for being an AMAZING Waitress! Our food was amazing and her service was absolutely perfect! not to mention Shes super sweet and funny..can't wait to go back! read more

I understand that my visit was way off the normal hours, however, if you are 24/7, you should maintain a consistency regardless of the time of day. My visit was to satisfy a 3 am hunger I was struck with at our Arboretum area hotel ( Room service was closed, nothing too appealing in their convenience store) Having found that this Jim's was less than five miles away, my mouth could instantly taste some delicious cheese soup. When I arrived, a terribly dour woman behind the register informed me that she had just thrown out the cheese soup which had set in the warmer since 11:30 the previous morning! And that there would not be any more forthcoming until the same time this morning . At this point, an even more dour woman handed me a menu. I centered in on the Eggs Benedict, reasoning that if I could not have my cheese soup, that I would treat myself to one of my favorites. What I received was something far different. To begin with, the only way one could apply the word "poached" to the eggs would be to describe the death of the chicken who laid them. These eggs were overcooked almost to the point of being hard boiled. The ham which was generously piled on, was a grade below the cheapest process luncheon meat that you could possibly find. The texture was rubbery and the salt content could effect the blood pressure of a small town. The hollandaise sauce tasted like watered down Knorr. The hash browns had enough oil to form their own cartel. As I was throwing 3/4 of this food away, it occurred to me that I would probably be as sour as the employees I had come in contact with if I worked in a place that produced such a product. read more

Our favorite breakfast place while visiting family in Austin. Very busy, warm, friendly, and food is always quite good. Never been disappointed. read more

I went here on Tuesday night around 2am. It was clearly pretty busy, and there were only two waiters. We saw everyone else get their food, so we finally asked about ours almost an hour after ordering. The server explained that she had forgotten to put in the order. Our food came out very shortly after that. I ordered a plate with bacon, eggs, and pancakes. I only received eggs. I let my server know, but also explained that it was so late in the evening I was no longer hungry and didn't want the rest of my meal. After that the manger came to check up on us. She apologized one time but didn't smile, and she brought us the ticket charging us for the eggs, and the chorizo plate my friends ordered. After waiting almost two hours I feel like we shouldn't have payed anything. We were offered dessert, but it was late and none of us wanted dessert. I would have been fine with a voucher to come back and order the same meal. I was not pleased with the way the manager Kim handled things. I also noticed that she started to chew out our server as soon as we walked out the door. Kim didn't even try to pull our server aside into the office to talk. I feel like that's unprofessional to lecture an employee in front of customers. I didn't see the manager help the servers bring food to the tables for the one hour they were busy and struggling to keep up. Isn't that what a restaurant manger is payed to do? Yes I was annoyed that our server forgot to put in our order, but that's a mistake. However, Kim seeming annoyed as she payed us out at the register was not a mistake, and made us feel very uncomfortable. She didn't even save her annoyance till we drove out of the parking lot. read more

The menu is plentiful but the food is very bland. Al of the dishes taste the same; bland. The dishes need to be changed out. They are dingy looking. The plastic glasses are disgusting. The silverware is full of hard water spots. You cannot eat without having to fan away baby flies and gnats. This place needs a deep cleaning, new dishes, and cooks who know how to season food. read more

It's consistent. Staff very friendly it's busy Sunday morning but we had good service. Grilled pork chop breakfast was wonderful. Juicy cooked perfectly. Now my over easy eggs were a little more done than I like but still good. Ended up bringing home one pork chop just too much food. Good value. read more

It i hard to mess up breakfast. After living in San Antonio for a few years, Jim's can do better than this location does.

Great laid back country atmosphere. Food is always good here. They have deals for kids too. In my opinion, its like an IHOP with a more personal touch and a lower price tag. The kids loved it too. We will be coming here more often. Oh and Chicken Fried Steak breakfast! Need I say more?? read more

Food has been great and the place is clean. Price is a great value with large portions. If you want a taste of old Austin this is a good place to start. read more

Horrible. I had a good experience once years ago. Last night was awful. My veggie omlette came with only mushrooms. Which is not what the menu entailed. The biscuits were burnt and my boyfriends steak was black as hell. The waitress was very sweet and polite but the "cook" is clearly pathetic. read more

I love this place. The food is always good . The service is great. My boys love the pancakes. I wish there was one in Cedar park.

I'm a teacher nearby, so I called ahead for our order. The people were very friendly and helpful and the order was ready when I got there (I thought). BUT when I returned to school one of the meals was left out of the bag. I called back and used the rest of my lunch 30 minutes to get the other teachers' meal. It was an honest mistake and the staff was very apologetic. They gave us both a slice of pie for our inconvenience. So I'll eat my food alittle later during my planning time and enjoy a delicious piece of pie. :) read more

A Austin staple for years and I live near one! Yay! Kinda old skool diner place that serves home style home meals and breakfast all day foods . I have not been there on busy Mornings mostly just evenings but the staff is always friendly and service has been good . read more

The food here was really good but the service was horrible. When we walked in the waitress told us to seat ourselves but proceeded to seat anyone else that came in after us. Then another waitress finally came over and took down our drinks after proceeding to ask ""unless someone else took your drinks?" After we got our drinks we waited a good 15-20 minutes for someone to take our order but then finally had to go find someone and ask for service. We came in at 9:30, there were 4 waitresses and only 6 or 7 tables so it wasn't as if they were busy. read more

It was a bland and very greasy breakfast. The waitress was great but the fare was subpar

Jim's had the best chicken fried steak in Austin. You could cut it with a fork. But then they changed something. I was in 6/11 about noon, and it was tough. Had to use the steak knife with some effort. I'll give them one more chance, but, if they really have changed, I won't be back. read more

Went there tonight just after the bars closed, food was spot on; took about 20-25 minutes from the time we ordered, but could tell they were understaffed(nobody's fault). Our server was honest and apologetic; genuinely concerned about the ticket time. She took care of our group and knew how to ask for help when needed!!! Will definitely be going their again!!! read more

I came here at 1 in the morning expecting excellence and I was extremely disappointed. My two hours of waiting were for nothing and I have left in tears. This is the saddest experience I've yet to go through in my small life. I can't believe that after almoshours of hard sweat and tears I ended up with no food and a empty table. Two of my other friends got nothing and found bugs in their drinks and were given cold chicken in response. No food has been given in 3 hours. Update: still haven't gotten my food read more

Solid American food... Good burgers. Definitely has atmosphere... and many fried options.

Came to this Jim's for some late night breakfast. Sat at the counter for ten minutes, not a single member of the staff spoke to me. Multiple people walked by as if I was not there. Left without ever placing an order. Not sure a single employee made eye contact with me. read more

Okay first i want to say I've been coming to Jims since awhile back. My experience today started off good sat at the bar waited a bit. Then the waitress came Hispanic woman ask me if i was ready so she could take my order i said yes. So i order biscuit gravy scramble eggs toast then i asked her for coffee and water plus i was thinking french toast so she said i could order half so i did. Well she brought my coffee then my breakfast so she never brought my water so i asked again and of course i know it's busy but well again she never made it back with the water so i couple take medication plus i felt like choking since i have thyroid problems. She did give a remark like i can't see that she or the place is busy. read more

Solid breakfast. Good service and coffee. Average huevos rancheros. Fast in and out.

Try the tortilla soup but stay away from the (ground) beef chili.

got home after long east coast trip and went to Jim's- staff is so nice and caring. Felt good to be back in "warm" Tejas. Good pancakes, down to Earth crowd, and and decent menu. Going back soon, probabky tonight:) read more

If you're expecting substandard food then that is absolutely what you will get. It wasn't gross but it wasn't anything above or below Denny's. I had the chili and proceeded to have pretty bad stomach issues all night, would say maybe avoid the chili but I liked the coffee, the service was great, and their hashbrowns were nice and crispy! read more

I have only visited this place twice. First time was a late night after a bar and it wasn't the worst. I went back again with my girlfriend a few months later and was not pleased. All the tables are very sticky and overall not very clean. The food ordered was luke warm and overall not that great. The staff is pretty friendly however but service wise they are very slow. read more

a couple nights back, they forgot half of my to go order. i didn't notice until got home. so I called, and the girl took my name and number and said they would put a note in the office, and to come back in for the rest. went back in tonight to get the rest of my order. i was kind of upset that i even had to come back in... they could have mailed me a certificate or something. but i was even more upset when i came back in and they couldn't find any note, nor would give me the part of my order that was missing (which was just french toast, mind you). the manager at the time (didn't get his name- overweight black man) said he "couldn't help me because there was no evidence". evidence? what is this a crime scene? there was no offer to see who it was i might have spoke with on the phone, or take my name, or whatever, anything. nope, nothin- just we cant help you. wont get my business ever again Jim, and I may just take this to another level. I hate bad customer service, and I hate getting ripped off even more. read more

It was a Saturday night and it was not busy at all. We were greeted right away but it went south after that. We orders drinks but the waitress left to take a to go order and was running food this forgetting our drinks until I waved her down. She proceeded to work on the to go order and didn't bother to take our order until I said we need to leave at it already took 25 min to get drinks after we ordered them. I've never waited so long to get drinks or order. Geez, we ended up getting the food to go and it was horrible. The jalapeño gravy was old and the biscuit tasted stale. It was my first time here and will probably be the last. read more

SUCH nice wait staff! They bend over backwards to please me. My favorite thing on the menu is the ribeye steak dinner. Wonderful! Large piece of meat with big baked potato. Excellent side salad! Everything tastes so fresh. I always get mine to go and they put in everything you could possibly need--A-1,catchup, all the fixin's for the potato and even 2 containers of salad dressing. 1000 Island is delicious! The price is very reasonable. I am going to probably make this a weekly tradition! Can't say enough good things about the food and the folks who work there! read more

I have been going to Jims for about 6 months now. I go about 5 days a week after work or a good night of drinking. The waitresses, (K.K. Jennifer, and Ashley) are always the best to me. Stevon, the cook/manager is amazing as well. I order the grilled chicken salad every time. When they see my car pull up or see me get out of my uber they put my order in asap. I have never had a bad meal or service here. I highly recommend this place if you are in the area! read more

Great service, great food, great desserts. This is my favorite Jim's in Austin. The food is consistently well prepared and the service is always excellent. Their tortilla soup is one of the best. Great place for a steak too (really). read more
