Jimmys Egg

The best place for breakfast in McAllen. They are consistently delicious, clean and the staff are always friendly and helpful. A dining experience just the way it should be. PS — The Belgium waffle is to die for!

Always delicious food and great service! BUT, today, something exceptional happened… I was seated waiting for our order when a somewhat disheveled gentleman came in, spoke to the server and asked if he could work for food, she spoke to her manager who came out and politely told him (because I am sure that is protocol) «no, we do not do that.» The gentleman looked disappointed and walked out. I walked after him, offered to buy him lunch, for which he was very grateful and accepted my offer. After I spoke to my server and told her to put his to-​go order on my tab, she came back and told me the RESTAURANT will take care of it. Little did I know the owner, apparently a very generous man with a big heart, was sitting in a booth behind me, and said he would cover this man’s lunch. Love good karma… Sir, I will tell everyone I know about your act of kindness and to support your business not only for the delicious food, but because of your heart. Thank you!!!

Friendly service staff. Food arrived quickly. I had Jimmy’s Garbage Breakfast it was good and I would have it again.

One of few places in the RGV that gave a great breakfast selection. The staff are very attentive and friendly. They already know me by name!!! Lol

Excellent pancakes and the service from Selina was !!! If you are a pancake lover these come in on the top 3 in my book.

Great little place to go and have some brunch with a few friends or family! I highly recommend their breakfast, they have delicious pancakes and coffee!
The food here puts IHOP or Denny’s to shame!
The staff was helpful and provided good service, and the little joint has nice atmosphere overall. :)

This place is AWESOME! The staff are so helpful! The food is so tasty and just the right texture! I will definitely will be coming back! Mm the coffee is always freshly made! They treat you like family then just a number! Give it a try and you be the judge Enjoy!

We go to this restaurant often, in McAllen and also at Ardmore, OK. Have been to several others and have never had a bad experience at any of them. They have great food and a special knack for hiring great servers. We usually eat the same breakfast and the waiters have our order memorized. It doesn’t make any difference how busy the place is we are immediately seated and served in a very timely manner. Just can’t say enough good things about the place at all locations. No, we don’t work there and we don’t have any stock, just appreciate having a great place to eat.

Really good all American breakfast place. They have a large variety of plates. Get here before 3 because that’s the time it closes everyday.

Loved this place! Was from out of town and needed a brunch place for after church with my family. It has a great wait staff and service in general. The food did the job for brunch and was certainly a better find than Denny’s or iHop.

Completely surprised by this restaurant! The environment inside is great for a relaxing morning breakfast meal! The food and coffee are excellent! Definitely will be coming back!

Excellent food, mediocre service. I ordered their Mexican omelette and eggs, and I must say I was impressed with how surprisingly good it was. The best breakfast I have had in a long time. Whoever chooses to go to Denny’s or ihop chains is missing out on delicious home style breakfast.

Got the vegetable omelette and felt kinda cheated; it was so small! The angry burrito was around the same price and was so good definitely recommend you try it.

I had the angry burrito and it was terrific! The vibe was very IHOP, but more homey. The food was definitely better than any other breakfast joint I’ve ever been to. Not too busy, and easy to find. Service was good, and coffee was great! I will be back to try out the other great menu options!

The food is delicious, better than the local competitor. The staff is friendly and we were seated quickly with no wait.

Decent place for breakfast. Came in on a Saturday at 11, was busy but we were seated immediately. I ordered a Belgian waffle, eggs, and bacon. Standard but good. My friend ordered an omelette, also good. I don’t expect places like this to have a good coffee and sure enough it wasn’t very tasty. Good service, cheap prices, and food was alright, nothing special. On the same scale as a place like Denny’s.

I’d definitely visit again when i am in the area. Think of IHOP with better quality food.
The option of more healthier choices such as sweet potato or wheat pancakes, even egg whites made me happy. Turkey sausage was delish! My server was nice and attentive. thanks for a pleasant experience

Well what can I say, I went, I tried, I loved. The food was great and the environment was peaceful, the service was great, prices were fair, all out good job I’m satisfied.

This my second visit to this particular restaurant and I’m very underwhelmed by the quality of the offerings. The food is just OK but hardly special. Got a Florentine three egg omelette today, nothing to write home about. The omelette has little filling, covered with three squares of white American cheese rather than the promised Swiss cheese and Hollandaise that clearly from a powered pack rather than fresh. Pancakes were a little gummy, maybe because they were cold when they reached the table. The coffee is too watery for my taste, but is not unusual in these type of eateries.
Not a terrible place to have a generic breakfast fare, but if you go, don’t expect anything more or you risk disappointment.

Very friendly, calm environment. Server was kind and attended us well.
As for the food, there are some things I don’t usually expect would vary much from restaurant to restaurant. Waffles are one of those foods. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Jimmy’s Egg’s waffles were in fact different — in a good way. Crunchy on the outside yet soft on the inside, it was a delicious experience. Add on Jimmy’s Egg’s syrup and I was taken aback by the complete satisfaction I felt from a simple Belgian waffle. The egg over-​easy was prepared well and the bacon strips were nice and crispy. Truly a great breakfast.
Pricing was also very fair for the experience. There are few places that will provide such quality for the price.
Overall a fine experience.
