Jimmy’s Place II

I’ve been going to Jimmys for over 20 years, it’s always been the local family diner. It recently has changed ownership and the quality of food and service has gone down the drain!
Each time I’ve gone recently, the order has been messed up. The owner is in the kitchen, making the food and it is clear he does not know the menu. My orders always come out completely wrong. It seems the kitchen does not care to correct the issue either.
A total disappointment. After 20 years, I will not be going back.

Finally gave this diner a try after driving my it for 10 years. I had a craving for a burger & after reading the reviews I knew today was the day! I had the patty melt on rye, it was worth waiting 10 years for! Now it’s going to be difficult to drive by without wanting to stop and eat.

Cool retro diner with good food & sweet servers!
Ate scrambled eggs, turkey sausage & oatmeal. everything was delicious! Our server Shirnel was great too :)

Excellent old time diner with top notch diner menu, good food and great prices. Lots of parking with attentive service. Don’t let the lack of curb appeal and location be a turnoff. It’s worth the visit!!!

Use to love this place and I wish I could still give it 5 stars. Unfortunately over the last couple of years this place has gone down hill a bit. Management is not the same and the prices have sky rocketed through the roof.
It’s not bad if you want that «home cooked» meal style food but unfortunately the prices have steered me away. For the price I pay here, I might as well go to PF changs or some other high class restaurant. It reminds me of an old school type of diner and hasn’t changed much interior wise over the last couple of years. The waitress’s are friendly and the food is great. I think I would be driven to eat here more often of the prices weren’t so crazy, otherwise it for sure a place you have to try for that old home style food.

Since the moment I walked in it felt like a true diner ! Very clean, friendly and helpful environment, great food and food size. I recommend to anyone that’s hungry and wants true American food to come and try this lovely place, decently coming back !

The food is great. I had the meatloaf and mashed potatoes with collared greens and cornbread. Huge portions and amazingly yummy! The price is right too. I’ll be back!

This place is the worst. We ordered take out from this place. I called them up and told them 2 orders multiple times. They delivered only one order. This place is also pretty expensive for diner food. When doing takeout be very careful.

Much better since the new owner took over! He is committed to making this a top-​rated place to go every day!

Haven’t been here in a while. I usually come by for breakfast but today was dinner.
I ordered off the specials board. Didn’t even look at the menu. Shepherds pie $ 9.75. Soon after I ordered it the waitress walked over to the specials board and changed the price to $ 10.25.
So as I wait for my food I get into watching what’s on TV. Great special on the terra-​cotta Army from ancient China. The only other guest in the diner leaves so I’m the only one watching the TV. The waitress decides to change the channel. What a shame because I was actually the best part of my experience at the diner.
So I get my shepherds pie. It was pretty sad. The instant mashed potatoes were so hard and dehydrated. The whole thing was pretty flavorless. Maybe if I add some hot sauce or A1. Non on the table or the counter. where’s my waitress? Okay fine I give up.
I know, I’ll take a piece of pie home. That should help. I’m sure they don’t make it. It come right off the Sysco truck, right. I couldn’t finish the pie either.
I guess after the new owners came in they changed a few things…
And yes, on my bill was $ 10.25 for the shepherds pie. It wasn’t worth arguing about because the $.50 would’ve made that shepherds pie any less bad.

So, I was in the area and got hungry. Went on Unilocal to see what was nearby and, VOILA! There is Jimmy’s Place II. Apparently there is a second location not far from here.
I asked and was told this location has been around for forty years. You can tell when you walk-​in. It looks like a place The Brady’s would have spent some time in. Looks older than forty years but, seems right.
It’s an American Diner serving American Food. Although today, a Cuban Sandwich was one of their special items. As a Cuban from Hialeah as I am, me personally, I wouldn’t come here for anything Cuban. But, that’s just me.
I had the meatloaf dinner which consisted of, a large slab of meatloaf topped with gravy, mashed potatoes with gravy, peas and corn bread. It was good and filling. Not «the best» that makes it unique from others but, it was good. It was a nice lunch.
From a short distance away, I was glancing at a table across from me that was having a burger. Not only did it look like he was enjoying it quite a bit but, it looked visually appealing from where I was sitting.
Next time I come here, however, I will try their breakfast. It’s served all day.
PLEASE NOTE: Unilocal has them open until 3:30 p.m., however, their sign says they are open until 10:30 p.m. Will investigate further and send Unilocal a message.

Tasty, greasy spoon diner. All the diner classics. Place is a classic. Not shi-​shi or fancy. This is an old school joint with real butter, real grease, and real sausage…

I’m not sure what took me so long to come here. The breakfast here is better than the other Jimmys and better than Jackson’s in overtown. This will be my wife’s and I new breakfast spot. You will not be disappointed.

Food was great: eggs perfectly cooked, French toast is the bomb! Still, kinda grossed out by the lack of cleanliness. This place has a funny smell to it.

Jimmy’s was the restaurant to go to here in North Miami –anything that was ordered here was fresh and delicious– from soup to dessert the quality was top notch at an affordable price. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Sadly everything has changed. Today will be my last time eating from here. The only reason you see one star on this review is because it wouldn’t allow me to post without it.

New owners but they still do not disappoint.

I decided to have brunch there for the first time, since this place is right by my job. I placed an order over the phone for pick-​up… The food was promptly made and was greeted by the same hostess who took my order. I ordered the Jimmy’s Special which includes: pancakes, eggs and bacon with coffee. I was missing my coffee but one of the waitress quickly attended to the mistake. The food was good and the pancakes size will definitely not leave you wanting for more. You get a bang (2 large pancakes) for your buck. The diner is not the prettiest to look at but for a quick breakfast with friendly service and a meal that won’t hurt your wallet, this place does the job.

Classic diner food. The waitress’ are very friendly. I’ve been going here for years. Everyone is good!

Well, the coffee isn’t the greatest in SFL, but let me tell you the biscuits are so gooooooood!!! This is an excellent place to stop and get a quick good hearty breakfast. The pervious reviews are all correct. I can not believe I have not stopped by sooner, as I drive by all the time. I will be back.

Jimmy’s isn’t fancy, flashy, or gourmet. It’s old fashioned, casual, and feels like you’re eating at a grandma’s.
Breakfast is good and cheap. Lunch is decent, and again, feels homemade. The staff has always been really nice, and service is usually really quick.
If you’re in the neighborhood and looking for something with that «home cooked» feeling, head to Jimmy’s.
