Jim's

For what it is they do an outstanding job. A menu varied enough to make everyone happy and prices that allow you to take the whole family without breaking the bank.

Great food with an honest server. Took the kids out.... started ordering and she was very honest on what was good and if she would eat it. Love a server like that. Kids all left happy and full. Good job to the server :) they do have a great menu with lots of options!

They took excellent care of us and 4 grand kids who never ran out of chocolate milk

Tonight I decided to just try a restaurant without any research. What restaurant is it? It just says Jim's out front. Jim's what? Well, it's called Jim's Family Restaurant. I've driven past this restaurant so many times on State St. always wondering what kind of food they served inside. A lot of you have probably felt the same way. Do I try something out of my comfort zone or do I go down the street to a restaurant I always frequent and will be guaranteed with a satisfying meal?

Well, took a step inside and it felt cozy. Their set up reminded me a lot about the Black Bear Diner. The staff was very friendly. Looking through the whole menu, I honestly didn't venture far into trying something new, but decided to go with something I'm particular about. I love a good country fried steak, so I ordered the Cowboy Jim's Breakfast. It was a plate of thinly sliced scalloped potatoes with a slice of cheddar and a slice of american white cheese on top of it. That is topped with a country fried steak that is all smothered with white gravy. Then adding 3 scrambled eggs and 2 sausage links. The country fried steak was really good but a lot smaller than I thought. The gravy, eggs, and sausage were great. The top layer of potatoes were cooked nice and tender, but the bottom half of the potatoes were a little bit crunchy and raw at some parts and completely bland, so that's probably why the waitress brought over the salt and pepper and ketchup. Sorry, ketchup does not belong on eggs or homestyled potatoes.

Next I decided to swap out pancakes for french toast. I think it was margarine because it didn't melt very well and the syrup rolled right off of it. I can deal with that. They had your normal syrup, strawberry syrup, and boysenberry syrup. Boysenberry was my favorite. The strawberry syrup tasted too much like syrup you put over shaved ice ? and not something over french toast. The french toast was great. Nice thickness to the toast. I really enjoyed it.

I would definitely be interested in trying a few other items on their menu. The prime rib is something I'm very picky about so that could be next.

Jim's is a traditional sit down restaurant that is usually pretty busy inside. Their portions are very big and pricing is very affordable. The staff here is great, very friendly and quick on coming around to see if you need anything. Their food is delicious too, especially their breakfast menu items. Kid friendly here and larger tables are available.
