Jimbo's Diner

Review left December 2024. Well earned 5-star review. Jimbo's Diner. This restaurant is located in/next-to La Vista Keno. It does not smell of smoke. If you're into keno, you can play at your dining table. There are over twenty 4-tops, a dozen booths, and several party tables. Music is modern and sublime. You hear it, but it never overwhelms. You'll soon get numb to the intermittent "Keno calling". It does sound tempting to play when you hear that "the last game had a two thousand dollar winner". I have never played. Service is excellent at Jimbo's Diner. Kurt W. waited on me tonight and, like his colleagues have done previously, did a great job. I started with a BIG bowl of delicious beef barley soup. I recommend the soup, but perhaps the smaller cup-size next time. Daily specials include prime rib on Thursday nights. That is what brought me here originally. Sub-$30 prime rib! I'm now coming back to try other food. Today is a Monday and it is Mexican night at Jimbo's Diner. Taco baskets and enchilada dinners are on sale. None of the specials cost more than $10 tonight. Expansive menu. Something for everybody. Unless it's prime rib night, I'm guessing it's hard to exceed a $25 tab unless you're drinking alcohol. Food comes out pretty quick. I was about 1/3 full after my huge bowl of soup, so I finished with an inexpensive, tasty BLT sandwich with cottage cheese. I couldn't finish everything...An endless soda, soup, and a BLT sandwich came to $18.43 (December 2024). Next time I will skip the soup. Or have soup and salad. A bowl of soup and a sandwich with a side is too much food. I want to try the daily specials. The prime rib is excellent. Plenty of off street parking. A healthy meal for a decent price. I highly recommend Jimbo's Diner.

We had a work "family" breakfast here. It was a lot of fun! Food was yummy and came out fast. Our server was a hoot and she remembered everything for a party of 15. It was quiet when we were there, but that was at 9am on a random Wednesday. Thanks Jimbo's looking forward to going back!

LOVE,LOVE,LOVE JIMBO'S!!! Had the $9.99 Wednesday Meatloaf special and it's enough for 2. And you can play KENO. What's not to love...Extra Tip....The dessert is every bit as good if not better than high dollar places for a fraction of the cost!

We came for lunch right when it opened at 11:00 on a Tuesday. Our server, Leah was very friendly and knowledgeable. I had the Jimbo cheeseburger, my companion had the BLT with onion rings. The onion rings could have had a little more flavor, but it was great that they weren't overly greasy and didn't fall apart. The dining room was clean and well lit. The keno was not disruptive to the meal at all.

Not the best atmosphere.No true drink specials. Waitress can't keep up with drink orders.Was a miserable time.

Nothing to write home about. If you're into double portions they do pile it on. Keno atmosphere. Mostly deep fried food on the menu.

Perhaps you have never been to a diner, or perhaps you had been, but today they are hard to find....Well look no further than Jimbos Diner for the absolute home cooked, tasty food that will leave you full and satisfied. It may not have the decor of a fancy place, but that's not way you go out for a bite to eat. If you're hungry, if you're looking for good, no great food then this is the place. The only thing that is better is the staff. It's a place you will make a go to place.....as Tony Tiger would ssy...It's Gggggggrrrrrreeeeeeaaaaaattttttt!!!!!!!!

First of all I am giving Jimbos two stars because when we came in we were greeted quickly and very pleasantly by the staff. But after taking the order things went down just as quickly. I got the wrong order to begin with and the eggs are far from scrabbled. I had to wait while being hungry so my meal was finished before the server got over to the table to tell him I am missing part of the order. He looked me dead in the eye and asked if I still wanted it......................YEAH I still want it!! So had to finish that while my lunch company had to wait on me. Plus the Boom Boom sauce is lame. There is no Boom in that sauce trust me. Boring food and poor service. At least the atmosphere was really neat.

We would like to compliment Jimbos diner/waitress Brandy W for the excellent service Friday evening June 14. We reserved room for at least 50 guests and were treated with fast service and excellent food. We certainly give them a 5 star rating

What a wonderful place to get some of the best food! I ordered their Shrimp Basket, hoping for some big tasty fried shrimp with good thick fries. Jimbo's did not disappoint! The basket was filled with six large butterflied shrimp and HOME MADE fries, freshly hand cut. It was very filling and had to actually take some of the shrimp home. The person I went with ordered their half pound burger and she substituted their homemade onion rings for an extra $2 added to the order. That is truly not a bad extra price for a menu substitution. The burger was big, well seasoned and the onion rings were out of this world, as delicious as Jim & Jennie's onion rings (which are the best in the City, in my humble opinion.) Their fried chicken or chicken tenders are homemade and are next on my list to try at Jimbo's, which made my mouth water. This is definitely going to be one of my favorite go-to restaurants. Everything looked homemade from scratch. At true gem of a place to eat!
