    Jim's old school marquis

    What a cozy spot! I stopped in today for a late breakfast and was very well taken care of. My drink was handed to me as I sat down and the food was hot and delicious. Will definitely return on future lunch breaks to enjoy the comfortable atmosphere and helpful staff.

    Chicken Tenders with Cream Gravy, French Fries, and Texas Toast
    Nayra B.

    An outdated diner with filling comfort food. I'm a long time fan of Jim's, but this location is a little further down on the list of locations I would recommend. As for the restaurant itself, the ceiling has a whole bunch of dirty and water stained tiles that are hard to miss, the lighting is extremely dim or out completely in some parts of the restaurant, the tables my group used all wobbled, and the whole place seemed like it could use an overhaul and update. Though the interior was pretty lackluster, the staff was great. Our server was very kind and patient with our larger group and checked in with us regularly. She was great and made sure we always had what we needed and wanted, and the gentleman running the register was also very kind to us as well. The food was pretty good, but not as good as some of the other locations I usually visit. I ordered the Chicken Tender Basket with Cream Gravy, French Fries, and Texas Toast. The Texas Toast was more bread than toast and we ended up referring to the butter on said bread as 'yellow' as it did not taste like butter and was rather chemically. Several of us ended up forgoing the Texas Toast because the 'yellow' really was gross. The French Fries were simply okay; they didn't have much flavor and needed a lot of help from the Cream Gravy. The gravy was fantastic, really thick and creamy with a delicious taste. The Chicken Tenders themselves were pretty good too. The breading was crisp and crunchy, the chicken was moist and fell apart pretty well, it's just that the seasoning wasn't as good as the other locations'. I don't know what it was, they just tasted slightly different. My fiancé ended up purchasing a Lemon Merengue Pie to take home with us to try (Yes, a whole pie because a whole pie is actually cheaper than two slices), and while I have mixed feelings about the pie, he's said that it's 'grown on him.' To start, the merengue on top had a nice, light and fluffy texture and looked really pretty, but didn't have much flavor to it at all, let alone any sweetness. The crust wasn't anything to write home about except that it felt a little stale, and instead of the expected creamy lemon filling for the bottom layer, it instead had the consistency of Jello. It was extremely weird, and after two bites I decided it was not worth eating. Overall, it didn't have any lemony tanginess or tartness, was rather bland, and the textures didn't match up well. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good. While it's still in our refrigerator, I have a suspicion my fiancé will not end up finishing it all by himself. I'd definitely recommend Jim's to friends and family, but I don't think I'd be able to recommend this particular location.

    a sandwich and french fries
    Piz G.

    Drove across town just for their club sandwich and was HUGELY disappointed when they gave me this. According to the waitress they might be running out of bread? How can you call yourself a cook and be proud to serve this? They did take it off the bill but I was still greatly disappointed. Will NEVERA return to this location again.

    THE Frontier Burger n rings
    Jason D.

    I love this local chain. Known for breakfast but the burgers are highly underrated. Chargrilled with their version of burger sauce has always been a go-to and consistently made. I have had other foods that didn't really match up to the Bfast and burgers so I can not give a fifth star. But the speed of service, quality of food and local nostalgia (I have been eatin here since they had a drive up car hops) I will always hit up a location when I just don't want anything fancy/fusion.

    They offer egg substitute
    Saunya O.

    This was a random find--- but oh, what a find! The looks of this diner from the outside til you step into the doors has an old fashion, Hollywood movies feel. The decor is simple but classic. I came at 6am and a few folks were in there. Upon walking in, the waitress Carol gave me a warm smile and welcome. She immediately offered a cup of hot coffee as though she read my mind. The menu is large and assorted and they serve breakfast all day. I ordered the Jim's Quickie Breakfast that came with eggs, and diced sausage. I got the egg substitute because I can't eat egg yolk. I was very pleasantly surprised they even offered egg substitute. Most places I've visited to include high end chains don't. The food came out looking like something straight from my grandma's table! It was delicious! The waitress was absolutely amazing. She served that entire diner solo and I never had an empty cup of coffee and she did it all with a smile as if we were in her home. If you are looking for high end fancy, this might be the stop. But if you enjoy down home, classic diner feel and food, this is the place. By far the most wonderful breakfast experience since moving back to the US.

    I'm sorry to be giving Jim's a 1 star review because they've always been pretty good & have been around since I can remember. However; what they've done is unacceptable. I ordered a chef salad, today, for pick up. To my surprise, everything on the salad had been shaved down to paper thin, tiny, pieces, except for the hard boil egg! Talk about getting ripped off! I remember when these salads had chunks of ham, nice strips of turkey, nice pieces of tomato, strips of purple cabbage & bits of carrots. Hope y'all bring back the old way of making the great salads from the past.

    Onion rings?
    Lellani R.

    Why did I decide to try Jims for dinner? I have no idea. I gave it 2 stars because of the atmosphere. There was hardly anyone at the restaurant so we didn't think service would take long BUT it did. We waited 10 min for the waitress to come over and take our drink order. We ordered mozzarella sticks which weren't anything special, I'd say the same as the 99€ mozzarella sticks from Sonic. The marinara sauce was ice cold at least at Sonic it's room temperature. Onion rings were a joke. Club sandwich had a weird taste. I paid $66 for dinner we won't be going back.

    grilled pieces of biscuits.

    grilled biscuits? raw bacon? no water? pancakes were fine. I've lived in San Antonio since 1968 and I can remember when going to Jim's restaurants was a fun and delicious experience. Great burgers, the best skinny onion rings you could ever find. a great homestyle breakfast. came for a family breakfast and we greeted with not fluffy biscuits, but an obviously hard and stale biscuit that have been put on the grill, broken up into pieces and put on a plate with some butter and brought to the table. The elderly couple I was with would never have complained, which I guess is what they are counting on, I ordered over medium eggs with crisp bacon and a pancake. I got one of the three. Runny eggs and raw bacon. we came because this older couple wanted to come here. I won't be back.

    The Texas Two-Step Breakfast($8.29).
    Oliver B.

    I walked in and I wasn't impressed by the look of the place. I seated myself and took a look at the menu. My server was Nadine. The menu was the typical food you would expect. It took a bit to figure out what I wanted. After my order was taken and delivered I was forgotten about by Nadine. She cared more about her phone than her customers. I had ran out of water and she never came to refill it. I eventually had to get up and refill my water myself after over five minutes of waiting. That was very unacceptable. It wasn't packed at all. There was no excuse for bad service. The food was just okay. It tasted like you would expect it to taste like. With the horrible service I received I will not be coming back again.

    Yup that's a exactly what it is

It was popping when we got there, so we had about a 25 minute wait. It took them a little while to take our order, but once they did, the food was made and delivered in a timely manner. I, of course, got the cinnamon roll pancakes short stack, and they were absolutely divine. No need for butter or syrup, they were perfectly delicious as is, cinnamon swirl included?!? and icing glaze as well. Another favorite was the chile relleno omelette - the poblano pepper on top added some smokiness along with the steak, and the sour cream and cheese cooled it down. Bacon and canadian bacon on point.

    Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures because the experience was disappointing from the moment…read moreour food arrived. My husband and I had been trying to eat at Bobby's Southern Kitchen for at least 2-3 years. Every time we'd stopped before, the wait was around 2 1/2 hours, and since we were always passing through on our way home to Houston, we never had enough time to stay. This time, we planned our morning around finally getting to eat here. We had spent the weekend in San Antonio and were driving to Dallas before heading home, so we made a point of arriving shortly after opening (a little after 8:00 a.m.). There was no wait, we were seated immediately, and our waitress was wonderful. I wish I could remember her name because she was friendly, attentive, and did everything she could. Our food came out quickly, probably within 15 minutes, but that's where things went downhill. The food wasn't hot. Mine was warm enough to eat, but my husband's breakfast was actually cold. His hash browns were cold, his sausage patties were cold, and since he's someone who really enjoys his food served hot, it immediately ruined the meal for him. We let our waitress know, and she came back to take only the hash browns from his plate. That surprised us because most restaurants would prepare a fresh order rather than reheating part of the original meal. When the hash browns came back, they still weren't hot enough, so unfortunately they didn't solve the problem. For me, the food itself actually had good flavor. I ordered the sausage biscuit with soft scrambled eggs, sausage patties, and a side of grits. The biscuit was good, the eggs were cooked just the way I like them, and the grits were honestly one of the best parts of the meal. They were creamy, had a great consistency, and were well-seasoned with really good flavor. If everything had been served hotter, I honestly think I would have loved my breakfast. My husband ordered a simple breakfast with eggs over medium, toast, sausage patties, and hash browns. I don't necessarily think the food itself was bad I think serving it cold completely changed his experience. What makes this especially disappointing is that we arrived shortly after opening, so we expected everything to be fresh and piping hot. I honestly don't know what happened that morning, but after waiting years to finally try Bobby's, it just didn't live up to the anticipation. The service was excellent, the food had good flavor, and I truly wanted to love this place. I just can't overlook being served a breakfast that wasn't hot, especially first thing in the morning. I hope this was just an off day because I'd like to believe our experience wasn't the norm.

    This is southern comfort food turned all the way up and they don't believe in small portions!…read more I went straight for The Morning Wrecker, and this breakfast is an absolute beast. Imagine a towering, layer-stacked masterpiece built around a massive fluffy scratch-made biscuit, crispy golden hash browns, a beautifully breaded and fried chicken fried steak, and two perfectly cooked over easy eggs. Then, because apparently that wasn't enough, the whole thing is drenched in rich, creamy country sausage gravy and finished with a generous blanket of shredded cheddar cheese. Every bite hits a different note, the buttery, tender biscuit, the crunch of the hash browns, the savory crust on the chicken fried steak, the richness of the sausage gravy, and that salty, melty cheddar bringing everything together. It's indulgent, unapologetically Southern, and exactly the kind of breakfast that makes you want to take a nap afterward. And the service was excellent. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. Just come hungry... The Morning Wrecker does not play around.
