Medium rare Filet Mignon! Overcooked for $36! Kassy was great. But the "Chef" needs a lesson in cooking...I will never go here again.

Never been here before and tried it out from a workplace event as a guest. They had the back room saved for the event. It was nice they had their separate servers and great drinks. The buffet had a great spread and some gluten free options. I would recommend going here if you have a friend that has so dietary restrictions/preferences. I had a five course meal from appetizers, salad, soup, main entree, and dessert . Couldn't hold myself together after being so full. I was hoping to get the steak for the event but I'll have to come back and try itThe lighting is a bit on the darker side in case you were wondering about lighting lol.

I haven't been to Jimmy's in years and so glad that my friend chose to have dinner here!!Came here on a Friday night. Parking lot was full but there are plenty of other areas to park since the restaurant is in a strip mall. Lots of customers inside. Place was cozy with a comfortable feel. Loved the fireplace!!We had reservations so we were seated right away. Our waitress was super friendly, very nice, and offered recommendations, which were spot on!!The Banana Old Fashioned was phenomenal!! Ratio of bourbon to bitters perfect. So delicious!!This was probably one of two restaurants who cooked the calamari to perfection; so buttery tender, lightly battered that was well seasoned. So good!!The house salad offered so many different vegetables, which is rare.We both ordered Jimmy's Pasta. Portion was huge!! Sauce was rich and creamy with generous portions of chicken, mushrooms, bacon, and melted cheese. I will definitely recommend and come back!!

1st Class Service and Great Food!We have been going to Jimmy's in Libertyville for over 20 years and it is our go to place for any special celebration or whenever we want a nicer meal. Then again, we've gone there just for our calamari fix. Located at the end of a shopping strip, you enter into a supper club type eatery. Lighting is lower, booths and tables, multiple sections, and darker wall coverings. A good size bar is in its own room to the right. A room in the back is available for special parties and events. From the main dining area you can look right into the kitchen area with cooks bustling and expediters getting orders ready for servers. We often see whole chickens on the spit spinning in the wood fired rotisserie. It's just fun to watch the operation, especially when it's busy. Servers have white tops, ties and black slacks with the trademark steakhouse black apron. Service is prompt and attentive. Very soon after being seated by the hostess, a server is there to take a drink order. The bar is full service with several tap beers. On each and every visit we have to get the Calamari (one pound for $19.95). We try calamari everywhere we go and this is by far, hands down, no doubt about it, nothing less than outstanding!!! Mostly rings with a few tentacles, very lightly battered, possibly a tempura style, and super quick fried to just get them lightly browned. Served with lemon wedge and cocktail sauce. My mouth waters just writing this. The seafood flavor is subtle and clean and the calamari itself cannot be more tender. No rubberiness here. On the other hand, we tried the Octopus appetizer special on a previous visit and we were a little disappointed. Served greek style, grilled, olive oil and seasonings, we found it to be a bit tough and lacking in flavor. Saganaki, the fun flaming cheese is always tasty and begs for an Opa! Every dinner we have ever had here is excellent. Dinners include a soup or salad, choice of potato or rice pilaf. We always get the salad which is a crisp iceberg blend, served super cold on cold plates. The garlic and the peppercorn ranch dressings are excellent. As for the potatoes, I hope they still offer the Garlic Mashed Potatoes as they are to die for. Roasted garlic adds just the right flavor to these spuds. There are several substitutes for the salads and taters. My sons favorite dinner was the Shrimp Alfredo Pasta. A huge portion of fettuccine with a tasty alfredo sauce loaded with shrimp. My wife loves the Greek Half Wood-Roasted Chicken ($19.95) with a side of Cheesy Mashed Cauliflower ($4.00 additional). This is one jumbo half chicken, roasted right there on their wood fired spit, topped with a lemony Greek sauce, accompanied with fresh steamed veggies. She subs in the mashed cauliflower for potato. Baked, broiled and served in a mini cast iron skillet, the cauliflower is seasoned just right topped with some caramelized cheddar cheese. I switch off between two dinners - the Jimmy's Pasta ($28.95) and Chicken Al Forno Pasta which I think is the same price. Both are served in a cast iron or aluminum skillet with a side of grated cheese for you to add extra goodness. These are so large that you will easily bring home another dinner. The Jimmy's Pasta has a white creamy wine sauce that melds with fettuccine, chicken, bacon, mushrooms, whole garlic cloves and onion, into which they add a couple cheeses, then broil it. Oh so good! The Chicken Al Forno Pasta is no longer on the menu, but those that know to ask for it can get it. The skillet is first loaded with pasta, then tossed with a wonderful marinara which then gets covered with a half of a roasted chicken, then topped with more marinara, cheeses and bread crumbs and sent to the broiler just before being delivered to your table, steaming and bubbling away. Clearly, one of my favorites. On a previous visit, we shared a slice of Lemon Cake and it was delicious. Some reviews say their prices are too high. We go out to eat fairly often and have our budget friendly places, but for something special or treating yourself, Jimmy's is it and when you consider the extra meals you get from the bring home left-overs, it's actually a good value.

The food is always - especially the steaks! It's our favorite place to go for special occasions. We love the daily specials, too. Our favorite server is Nancy, who is so friendly and funny...even when she's not technically our server.

We had delivery of one of their family meals. Very large dish of pasta with chicken/mushroom sauce, salad and bread. Nicley done, a little heavier than we are used to, but it covered meals for the next 3 days. Will try something else next time.

Met friends at Jimmy's for 6pm pre-holiday dinner. The food is always delicious and plentiful. Relaxing atmosphere. Plenty of space to be comfortable and take your time to catch up over a good meal. Not rushed at all. Kelly provided excellent service!

My son and I went here after his Navy graduation. I had seen it when driving from my hotel from the base and it looked attractive, so we took a chance. I am so glad we did! Great food, nice ambiance - I liked the decor - and most of all, epic, amazing, outstanding service! The fabulous Nancy...she's kind and warm and couldn't have been more responsive to my son, which as a mom, meant so much. Of course, she was efficient and prompt in her food service, which I certainly appreciate, but Nancy was just above and beyond at the People Part of her job. Thank you so much for the hospitality and yummy food!

Nearly always amazing.Last time my chicken brochette Greek sauce was horrible, super salty, and it tasted really weird. Ruined the whole plate. Never happened before.Been going here for over a decade, our fave place.Only now & then will something be off, so we keep going back. Never been sick from their cooking.We wouldn't go there tho if we had to deal with the old gal who answers the phone, she is a BITCH.She doesn't know what is going on in the restaurant & she argues with you, basically telling you that you are a liar. She needs to retire bc she gives a really horrible "first face" of the business, & to customers that have been going there over a decade, she is pathetic!!!
