Some restaurants earn the word legendary--Jim's Spaghetti House is one of them. The haddock was exceptional and cooked perfectly, and the spaghetti was top notch and exactly what you hope for from a place with this kind of history. Everything tasted homemade and authentic. The blackberry pie and chocolate pie were the perfect finish--both outstanding and worth saving room for. Places like this are getting harder to find. Great food, timeless feel, and absolutely worth the visit. Highly recommended. read more

We stopped by Jim's Spaghetti House during our quick visit, and we truly enjoyed both the food and the service. The staff were incredibly friendly, the food arrived quickly, and everything was absolutely delicious. As a family-owned business, you can really feel the warmth and care--it felt like we were sharing a meal with family read more

Jim's Steak & Spaghetti House - Italian Near Me - Huntington, West Virginia

I'm a life long resident and at 63 it was my first time ever. It was okay. I know everyone says it's great but the old Wiggins spaghetti was better to me. read more

Same thing as eating Chef boyardee. Nice staff but the food was not what we expected.

First time ordering & based on menu, I ordered a fish sandwich. It was VERY disappointing! It was half the size of the menu photo; it was exactly like McDonald's fish sandwich. Difference is McDonald's is $5 and Jim's charged $12! Yes, $12 for a McDonald's fish sandwich. Ridiculous!!! read more

Great service and food. The vibe in the diner was so cool! Will return when in the area.

We almost passed this place up. So glad we didn't. Everything about it was great! The food was delicious and our server was so friendly!

Having dinner at one of my all time favorite places!!! Best spaghetti in the Huntington WVA. area!! Great food, great service!! Never disappointed!! read more

Jim's Steak & Spaghetti House - The famous Jim's sign - Italian Near Me - Huntington, West Virginia

We love Jim's for their fish. Today we discovered their bread pudding! It's a new item. Our waitress Christy (who was amazing) suggested it. It was her grandmother's recipe. We've had bread pudding in a lot of restaurants but I have to say this was absolutely the BEST we've ever had! Do yourself a favor and order it the next time you are at Jim's! read more

Jim's Steak & Spaghetti House - Bread Pudding - Italian Near Me - Huntington, West Virginia

A very busy place at lunch time. This is our second time here and it hasn't changed in the two years. The food was good. I really like the place, everyone seems friendly. It is clean and decorated very nice. I would probably eat here more often, if not for parking. I will return . read more

New owner has changed the ingredients. Ordered meat ravioli with sauce. One of my favorites before the new owner took over. Literally puked after I ate half of the order. I will never eat there again! read more

Ok a couple of things.... I'm just a traveling hillbilly from the bluegrass state. 1) The Staff was out standing! Great people, super nice. They even sat my teenager at the JFK booth. That was pretty dang cool! Not many places have something that cool! A true part of history! Ironically it's next to the Republican Headquarters and MAGA HQ 2) They name to me is a little misleading. I was expecting something like a "Demo's" in Nashville. They had 1 cut of steak. That's it 1 cut, and that cut was nothing special. In all honesty it was bad. I have made thousands of ones better with stuff at Food Lion or Winn Dixie. I know it's not fine dining but it's not even good diner. The Spaghetti was nothing crazy.... It was what it was. The breads we out of a loaf you get out of Hiners bag. The prices were fair. Oh and they have there own parking garage it cost $1.50 what can you get for $1.50 these days read more

We tried it because a lot of locals stated that it's a staple of the area. It was good food but not something that was out of this world. I wouldn't go again if I was passing thru. Greeting was not professional although it was quick and we were seated immediately. We ate dinner there and was in and out within 30 minutes. read more

I don't get to Huntington often enough, but every time I do, I try to eat here. I always have a medium plate of spaghetti with hot rolls and coleslaw. The spaghetti was awesome; I don't know how they do it. This time, I started with a bowl of chili. OMG. For dessert, I chose their once every 6 weeks carrot cake. Give. Me. A. Break. Unreal delicious. This place isn't fancy. But the food is awesome and always served steaming hot, the staff is friendly, and the prices cannot be beat. Highly recommend. read more

The new addition is so well done. You feel like it's always been there. Great attention to detail! Great new large restrooms. Added sweet tea & garlic bread.. win! Super friendly staff & THANK YOU! For bringing back Strawberry pie week! 2018 was too long ago!! Please keep it every year!! read more

A classic iconic gem. I love to get the sauce for takeout it freezes well and since I live about 45 minutes away it makes it easy to have on hand. read more

Mom and pop spaghetti shop that's been honing their craft for years- recently under new ownership but kept things virtually the same. Must stop if you're in the area. Good wholesome food, and free pie for Marshall students w ID! read more

Service: amazing! Ambiance: very pleasant and clean. Food: I tried their spaghetti and in my opinion I didn't like it but then I tried their steak and their banana pie and it was good! The steak they have a nice outer crust and when you cut into it it's juicy and tender just the way I like it. When I tried their steak pie it was amazing because you eat it and the second you eat it all that flavor just BURSTS out into your mouth basically like a banana pudding pie. I would recommend this place for anybody it is amazing service is nice and just a great place to have a good time with friends. Bon appetite read more

This is one of those wacky time capsule sort of places on the James Beard Classics list, that you walk into and think "no way the food here is amazing." And you'd be wrong. I can't speak for other dishes but I could eat that Spaghetti weekly for the rest of my life. Now it isn't NY Italian delicious, but probably the best spaghetti I've had outside New York or San Francisco. Also the food is super cheap. If you are within an hour of this place, go. read more

A local legend. The food is simple and basic, but at its best extremely well prepared and always fresh and hot. I find the spaghetti - chili-seasoned, on soft noodles - an acquired taste, but the cheeseburgers on grilled bread and fish (in a cracker meal breading) are wonderful. Both the chocolate and coconut pies are made on site and are among the best ever. Service is consistently excellent and the restaurant is kept very clean. Not the place for a leisurely gourmet meal, but for simple American food it can't be beat. read more

We had heard about this diner for decades and all the raves. Our first and only visit was mediocre. The servers were nice. The facility was clean. The food was just average. The sauce is rather bland. They served slices of bread rather than rolls. We were just rather surprised that folks applaud this restaurant but found it to be ho hum. We have not returned. read more

This place is timeless! It's almost like stepping in to your grandma's kitchen in 1963...and I mean that in the best way possible. We were sent here by a stranger we met on the plane. Mr. Bradley Tweel and his staff (especially our server Mandy) welcomed us with friendly service and simply great classics. Don't leave without checking the photos from history and getting a slice of pie! Definitely worth a visit if you're in town. read more

A Huntington classic. The food and service are always great. New owner has kept all the classic goodness intact. You need to try it!

It's a cool place, nostalgic. I really wanted to love it, given its history, but it was frankly terrible. The sauce it's self was okay, but the ravioli and spaghetti were so overcooked they were mushy. The meat ravioli literally had no taste, almost inedible. My husband's sandwich, which was a "steak" sandwich, was a skinny meat patty with lettuce tomato and mayo. I was so disappointed. Definitely won't go back. I gave it 2 stars for the nostalgia and atmosphere. Service was good. read more

This is a place where one goes for an old school dining experience but not especially for the food. The spaghetti is not Italian style but more in that mode of the local style, which is kind of an onion base rather than tomato. The steak is okay. It is their fish sandwich which is their true star, with a thick cut of white fish batter fried and covered in their delicious tartar sauce and coleslaw. The service is famously polite indeed but...extremely inflexible. This place expects new guests to know that they do not allow you to be seated until all members of your party have arrived. Any such mistake will turn those friendly smiles into rude frowns and brusque dismissiveness. The place looks very much like it did in the 1940s & 50s and that's it's charm. It feels like a trip back in an old black and white movie. It's a fun experience but not one you will need often. read more

Absolutely delicious! Fish sandwiches are amazing and so is the spaghetti. I always get a quart of meat sauce and keep in the freezer. Makes dinner wick , easy and good! read more

The so called "World famous spaghetti " , absolutely was lousy, barely eatable. You know it's bad when your waitress no tells you not to get the marinara sauce because it's not home made like their meat sauce. When the Chef boy-r-Dee meat sauce is better than theirs!!! I would not recommend the spaghetti!! Matter of fact,...... Hardings restaurant in Mink Shoals spaghetti dominates Jim's spaghetti!! (Mic drop)!!! read more

Simpley good food at a good price. Love their coleslaw pasta and rye bread. I've enjoyed the place for over 46 years

Passing thru and looked at reviews for dinner. Jim's got decent reviews so my wife and I tried it. This place is awesome! I can't think of one negative thing to say. This is a professional restaurant. It runs like a Swiss watch, perfect! The service is spot on, the ambience is good. The salad was fresh and delicious. No frills, lettuce, tomato and dressing. We had the cream of chicken with wild rice soup, also delicious. Spaghetti with meat sauce, if you guessed delicious, you're wrong! It was EXTRA delicious! The rolls and bread.....yep! We live in Pittsburgh, about 4 hours away, but will definitely be back! read more

Amazing spaghetti house and long time business in the area, great spaghetti and bread sticks

Best ever! Can't say enough great things. Spaghetti and salad are second to none. You can even get sauce in plastic to-go containers. A must in Huntington. read more

Traditional dining venue in Huntington. Been in business for many years with an ambiance of a diner from the 50's. Open for lunch and dinner with their delicious trademark of spaghetti. Fried fish is also a popular option. We visit weekly! read more

Jim's is iconic. I can't come to Huntington without ordering a medium spaghetti and a piece of their classic chocolate pie. I love the servers' uniforms that never change, nor do their smiles and warmth. I dined alone yesterday (in town for a wedding), and I enjoyed talking all things Marshall with the server. Being a 2001 grad means I haven't had many chances to eat here since then. I'm so glad I came "home." read more

My first time visiting. I live near by and never stopped. Highly recommend. The spaghetti was fantastic. Our waitress, Tricia was phenomenal. Thank you all for such a great experience! We sat in the same seat that John F. Kennedy sat in. It has an overall vintage look to the place that takes you back in time. read more

WV spaghetti, plain simple with a meat sauce, side of fine grated coleslaw, basket of local Heiner's bread slices served with real butter and captain wafers, topped of with a tea. Fried fish is good too, pass on the steak if the have them, honestly never saw one served. Coming here for decades. Simple diner type restaurant with tasty pies. Miss the sugar syrup that used to be on the table. Miss the white waitress uniforms, miss Jim too. Nothing fancy, always quick service and big warning is they do not take credit cards, bring cash. read more

Walked in and was seated immediately. Server was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. Great food as usual. Last day before retirement for Trish. Will definitely miss her smiling face and wish her the best. read more

Ok, the cheese ravioli is far superior than the meat stuffed ravioli. The coconut cream pie was very good. We were seated immediately. Good ice tea. Service was good. The bread was served room temperature, disappointed. I will return. read more

Excellent food in an establishment that has been in the area for longer than I have been alive. I love the "50's" diner atmosphere. The staff is friendly. Very clean restaurant. read more
