Jimmy’s

Hollandaise sauce for eggs benedict made fresh daily; real potatoes, cubed and grilled; biscuits and gray from scratch… food is delicious, service is friendly, restaurant is clean. You can view the grill area as you pay to leave — it’s clean and the owner is typically back there cooking. This place is worth going out of your way for.

My wife and I were there for first time today and had breakfast. My wife had the waffle combo and I had the pancake combo. Both come with eggs and choice of meat. We both had scrambled eggs and crisp bacon. It was all very good and the perfect size so we went away full but not uncomfortably so. The service was very good and friendly. There was a constant flow of people but never saw anyone having to wait more than a few minutes to be seated. We plan on going back to try lunch sometime in the near future. Unfortunately they are only open for dinner on Friday’s until 8 so it may be a while before we can try dinner.

This place is a small diner and had a nice crowed for a Sat. Morning. Our waitress was great and quick on the coffee refills. All of our food came out HOT and just the way we ordered it. Bacon is crispy!
It was a little chilly in the place but when it’s –5 outside. Hard to keep warm anywhere.

Absolutely best family restaurant in lake county. Perfect hand cut, fresh food … NOT mass produced. Coffee was good, food perfect, pricing just right! Take the whole family. Very friendly staff. This is our new Sunday go-​to for breakfast and/​or lunch!

We stopped here due to the nice reviews we saw on Unilocal.We always enjoy trying local restaurants. The only bad thing we can say about this place is that it’s an hour away from where we live! However, the next time we’re in the area, you can bet we’ll be eating here! My wife ordered an omelet. She claimed it was one of the best she ever had. I’m not a big breakfast guy, so I had the (fresh) lake perch sandwich. They wisely only had a light batter on it, so it wouldn’t detract from the flavor of the fish. Absolutely one of the best restaurants we’ve eaten at all year.

I was around the corner at Ava Lane Salon with my fiancée while he was getting his haircut. We mentioned we were hungry and going out for lunch after the appointment. She asked if we tried Jimmy’s and we hadn’t. She suggested we give them a try because the food is so good. Good enough for us, we decided to give it a try.
It was Saturday afternoon at lunch time and we were seated right away. Small neighborhood eatery, very clean, friendly staff. We ordered a couple raspberry teas, my fiancée and I ordered a chicken parmigiano and grilled chicken philly. Both came with fries. The sandwiches were excellent, the bread was so good, and the roasted garlic purée on it was so tasty. The chicken parmigiano was tasty too, but could have used a bit more sauce. The fries were soggy.
We will try this place again.

I stopped in here with my fiancée at the suggestion of the hair stylist at ava lane salon. Even though it was lunch time on a Saturday afternoon, we were seated right away the restaurant is very clean.
We order the chicken parm sandwich and chicken Philly sandwich, both with fries. The chicken parm sandwich was very tasty, but could have used a little more sauce, served on the side would be nice. If I get it again, I’ll ask for that. The chicken Philly was excellent the fries were to soggy for my taste. I prefer fries a bit more crispy
We will definitely be back here when in the area.

Going back for 2^nd day in a row today! Our group had late breakfast here yesterday… chorizo hash, southwestern omelet with chorizo and peppers, biscuits and gravy and perfectly cooked bacon.
We were in the area for a wine country weekend, no matter where you are staying, come to Jimmy’s and get your breakfast. Quaint atmosphere, excellent service, terrific food.

Cute little breakfast & brunch place in town. Special menu for the summer season with many dishes that include fresh pineapple. I tried the grilled veggie wrap and it was very good! Came paired with hand cut fries and a pickle. Mom’s summer pineapple chicken salad was full of flavor and included lots of toppings for an excellent and filling salad lunch. Friendly service and plenty of options will bring us back again next time we’re in town.

I used to work in Painesville city, so my fiancé and I would frequently meet for lunch and we would come here a few times a month for lunch. The service isn’t the best, even though its a tiny little hole in the wall. On a few different occasions our waitress (different ones) have taken a long time to give refills on our beverages or come to actually greet us or take our order. This is because we were in prime time lunch hour and it was usually almost packed when we were dining so I can forgive that.
We’ve had various things on the menu from the wraps: chicken and tuna, the French dip sandwich, the seasonal rib sandwich, the Caprese burger, the jambalaya, and more. Neither one of us has not liked what we ordered. The food is pretty consistent and tasty, the fries are the shoestring type you get at fairs. The portions are a little small, but that’s just because I’m used to oversized portions anyway. The strawberry chicken salad is raved about a lot, but I haven’t tried it because I don’t like fruit in my salads. Their homemade house salad dressing is pretty good.
Out of all the Painesville faire, I prefer Jimmy’s.

Needed to pick up a quick breakfast, and they were more than accommodating to make us a couple of breakfast sandwiches to go. Had 1 burrito and 1 English muffin sandwich. Both were amazingly perfect! The chef and waitress were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

Always a great stop for breakfast and lunch. There is excellent food, and the owners/​chefs go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied… excellent.

If you want breakfast and you’re in the area, this place is THE place to go, if not for their veggie omelet and homemade rye, alone.
But then once you add in that you can feed 4 people breakfast for around $ 30, that makes it even better.
The portions aren’t smaller, as a few Unilocalers thought. My order was the same size, still served on smaller plates and I couldn’t even finish the whole thing! Honestly, I had no idea you could fit that many veggies into an omelet, but they do and they do it well. And that damn toast… I want it in my kitchen at all times. I tasted some of their bacon, which is thick cut and perfectly cooked.
You just can’t go wrong here for breakfast.

Have been twice now for dinner (Friday only) and lunch. Friday got the perch dinner, salad with Italian dressing (dressing was really good, salad itself was slightly above the usual as it was basically bagged with a few extras like cheese but at least fresh, not wilted browned edges like you get so often some places). Fries were good although I love the burnt butt ends of handcut type fries so maybe would get them well done. Husband had the special which was pork chop and it looked fantastic, not overcooked, plenty of juice, the rosemary roasted/​fried potatoes were to die for (made him share). Didn’t see any dessert but it probably would have been good lol. total about $ 22 so good deal
Lunch today was burger and wedding soup, again both good. Real handmade burger, slightly over cooked (asked for med well and it was well) but good bun, good meat, juicy. Being a burger snob (hate the preformed patties most places serve) I will get another. $ 15 so not bad price again, husband got the BBQ bacon burger (or some similar named burger) and fries and liked it. Again the fries could have been a tad crisper.
Love the people as well, friendly and seem genuinely interested in giving you a good meal.
Next up will be breakfast as the menu for that looked good too!
update! Breakfast today with parents and granddaughter. Two Jimmy’s Basic Breakfast (2 eggs, toast, meat, yummy potatoes from fresh potatoes, not frozen), kids mouse cakes (pancakes with ears and choice of meat) and one one egg/​potatoes/​toast. We are all neurotic about our eggs… one fried hard, one scrambled easy and one over so easy there is not a bit of hard yolk. I never ever get mine (the over extra easy) even close to how I want them any where… ALL three were exactly as ordered!!! Potatoes were good (maybe a little more spice to jazz them a little but could have put the hot sauce on I guess. One toast was rye (thick sliced, would have been yummy if it were toasted) but not even browned, didn’t send it back, figured the great eggs were enough lol.
So three for three, we are happy. Food isn’t totally unusual, just home cooked freshly cooked goodness :)

We have been to Jimmy’s a couple of times. We went there last winter and the food was pretty good and the service was fine. We went there for breakfast last week and were very disappointed. The plates were smaller, probably to make the portions look larger. My omelet was definitely smaller than the last time we were there. Also it didn’t have sausage in it that I ordered. Our waitress was pleasant enough, but she disappeared after taking our order. We needed coffee refills and my wife had to get up and get the coffee pot herself.

Jimmy was an awesome find. My business partner and I frequent here for the best breakfast (Chorizo Hash) and awesome lunches. I like the Rib sandwich. Everyone is really friendly and professional. I go here often and would recommend to anyone.
