If you are looking for white table clothes and/or fancy sauces (usually used as an attempt to cover up poor quality meats and/or veggies), you wont find that here. At Jimmy D's you will find real food, real people, and an atomosphere that makes you feel like family. Jimmy let's the food speak for itself.....no need to cover up Jimmy's... more

I literally live about 2 minutes from this resturant and eat lunch here whenever possible. Jimmy is a down to earth guy who is involved in the resturant and not some manager who just sits in a office all day, he is involved by cooking and even running the cash register. The food is excellent and I would recommend you... more
