Bad Jimmy's

This food was incredible! So simple but soo good! I got the classic burger, or maybe it was the double. But it was one of the best burgers I've ever had. The staff were nice and the decor was old school diner themed. The bar area looked really cool, but I didn't have time for drinks.

Finally tried this place cuz a friend of ours kept saying how good it was. Definitely, hyped. 6:45pm on a Saturday. Luckily, the line to order was short at the time. Tables were pretty packed though. I saw a few but by the time we finished ordering, people who walked in after us had already grabbed the tables. The bar side had a few open spots at the corner and window so we grabbed those. My friend and I ordered while the other two went to the bar. Small place so tough to find a spot when it's busy. Music was playing. It seems from others reviews that they play different genres from time to time. I liked the music they were playing on this day and didn't mind the loudness at all. Our orders:- Double burger with fries- Double burger + raw onions & red cream soda floatPros: - liked that the patties were smashed and the edges were crispy- soft bunsCons: - Not being told there was an additional $1 charge for onions. The double burger comes with grilled onions but I had asked to add in raw onions as well- the raw onions were never added- only had a few grilled onions in my burger- the Not so Secret Sauce was very little to non-existent. I had to dip my burger in ketchup- patty lacked flavor- a small container of ranch is $2!- red cream float wasn't bad but wasn't worth $8It was just okayyyyy to me. There just wasn't enough onions and sauce in my burger. My total was a little over $27 with tip. Chose the wrong tip option but it was still overpriced. And paid for extra stuff for nothing.

I have been here several times since this burger joint opened, and I can say the quality has been consistently good!The burgers here are very simple. The burger I got the last time I was there has only cheese, ketchup, mustard, pickles, and diced onions for toppings. But I think the simplicity is what helps this place stand out. The buns are soft and the patties have a nice crispy crunch around the edges. I don't like the waffle fries, but this is just my preference. They are crunchy and flaky, and don't have much flavor to me. I would take the Chick-fil-A waffle fries over these fries any day. Seating is a bit limited inside, but there is an outdoor eating area that would be pleasant to eat at when it's not summertime.

Hands down the best burger you can get in AZ. I got the Double Burger with Bacon and a side of their fries. The burger is exactly what I want every burger to taste like. It was tasty, juicy, cheesy, and well perfect! I usually don't like bacon on my burgers, but this was the perfect addition. The bacon was crispy, didn't take away from the burger at all, and was not too salty! The fries are waffle cut, but taste like curly fries!! So delicious dipped in their "not so secret sauce". I'm seriously still thinking about this burger and I can't wait to go back!The total for the 2 burgers (both with bacon) and a side of fries was around $40, so kind of expensive. However, 100% worth it to me.

Saw a TikTok about this place and have really been craving a smash-burger. I walked in and it definitely had a cool ambiance with an old diner / burger shop vibe. The menu is basic and the food is fresh! The burger had caramelized onions and I ordered some diced peppers in there! The fries were super fresh and crunchy! The patties are super thin, as a smash burger should be with nice crunchy sides. The staff was friendly and welcoming giving us a run down of the menu! Will definitely recommend!

Finally got to try the famous Bad Jimmy's!I liked how retro and cool they are, lightings and stuff, it was so cool. There weren't many places to sit inside, but there were seatings outside!Ordered double burger with fries, it was good.Patty was so flat and fresh, it was well seasoned and yummy. And the waffle fries were good as well. It was interesting and different, yet yummy :)

First time at Bad Jimmy's. We arrived at 12:15 on a Friday afternoon and it was full, so we ponied up with the manager who was on a break. I ordered a Double Burger, fries and a soft drink for $21.85 and my son-in-law got the same. The burgers ran about $12, but the fries were overpriced at $5. Our meals arrived in about 10 mins, despite many tables seated right before our arrival. They smash the patties as they cook, giving them a great crust. Topped with gooey American cheese, savory grilled onions and creamy thousand island dressing on a pillowy potato bun, each bite was a perfect blend of soft, crunchy, savory, salty, sweet and gooey richness. The potatoes were cross-cut and cooked to a yummy crispiness but many were clumped together in both orders, making them not as attractive. The flavor of our meals was excellent, despite the spud-fest going on. I'll be back.
