I have never eaten breakfast at Jim-Denny's so this review is entirely based on lunches I have eaten there.
I live in Roseville. It's kind of a long way from Jim-Denny's. But my friends and I will drive all the way down just to have lunch here. The first time we went to Jim-Denny's was solely based on driving by on a day of cruising around in the area. I love how tiny it is and how ramshackle it looks. The food is great and the staff is super-friendly. We joked around with them and when I went back with one of my friends just recently, they even remembered who we were. It's always a good meal at a cool place with a ton of character.

I am only giving 4 stars because I don't believe I can honestly give a 5 star after only one visit. But I want to.
My bf and I just recently moved in a few blocks away and decided to go for breakfast this morning. Be warned the inside is *tiny*. Teeny-tiny. You get to watch most of your food being cooked 3 feet away. The portions are HUGE and tasty. As one of the waiters put it when we asked about lunch portions "There ain't nothin thrifty up in here." The staff was awesome, laughing and joking with customers. If it takes some time to get food, it doesn't seem like a big deal. Even the other patrons were friendly. I feel like too big of a dork going back for lunch today, but I will probably update this once we actually do.
Update 06/14/08
Ok, so we went for lunch. I am upping this to 5 because I've had 2 meals and feel it's officially OK to do so. Staff, still awesome. Food, still awesome. Chili cheese fries, NUMMY. Bf had the patty melt, and I had the egg-cellent tuna salad. HOW DID I NOT THINK OF THIS MYSELF? My co-worker says they also sell this at Bon Air, but my two favorite types of salad on one sandwich. GENIUS! Anyway, they are still deserving of 5 stars IMHO. I think I will have to go back for a burger though. Maybe Friday night.

First, I have to confess that I've only ever come to Jim-Denny's for breakfast. Their breakfast burrito is huge and adding the sour cream and avocado inside just make it incredible. The salsa's got a bite (albeit mild) and everything inside is just soft and warm and breakfasty with the scrambled eggs and potatoes. Also, often times breakfast burritos tend to get greasy, and at a diner you expect it as well. Not so much here.
Then there's the pancake breakfast. Those legendary pancakes. Bigger than your head is probably an understatement. These things are huge and they're thick... a good 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick apiece. Oh so soft on the inside and they're crisp on the outside. If I could criticize anything about them is they don't provide enough butter to finish off a full stack (not as though I could finish both. I barely got through one, and that was with help)
Also have to give kudos to the staff here. Always friendly, always a great attitude, they make what could easily become an exercise in frustration with how crowded the place is and the time it takes to get your order. Love it!
What else can be said about Jim-Denny's other than it's making some of the greatest breakfasts downtown at very reasonable prices and with operating hours that rival the late Real Pie Company in inconvenient craziness. Is it worth it to work your schedule around that Wed-Sat 7-3 just to find out it's packed and you stand around waiting for a spot at the counter or outside? Absolutely!
We had BREAKFAST: OK I'll give it a 5, why not? I mean where else do you get a pancake described by the waiter as 'it's as big as a hubcap,' no really it is! That alone deserves a 5 for novelty alone. Aside from the ginormous pancake my wife had -- my eggs and side of cottage cheese with hash browns was copious and tasty. We sat outside in the sun and enjoyed.
The waiter was cool too. He looked like Morgan Spurlock from Supersize me and was funny and a good waiter. The place looks like it might fall over at any moment but that's part of it's charm.

So my boi texts me and asks if I wanna roll up to Denny's for lunch. At first I was like, WTF man? Denny's is for fat ladies with illegitimate children. Turns out my boi meant Jim-Denny's. This place makes a damn fine burg. I think I'll bring ma to this place.

WTF? This place is a five on the fun, unique, and crazy factors - but a one or two on the variety, healthiness, and cleanliness factors.
I need to eat a breakfast here - the reviews look interesting - I have only had lunch three times over ten years.
Big fat burgers, fries, and coke. Food served in troughs and buckets in a place smaller than a closet. Bring a fly swatter. If that's what you want then this is the place.

I ate breakfast at Jim Denny's this summer. I was pretty hungry when I went in so ordered the short stack of pancakes, which I heard was huge. It comes out and is one giant pancake overlapping the plate, probably a foot in diameter, and thick! The flavor of the pancakes isn't anything to write home about, but it's absolutely a great place to carbo load.
Don't expect to get in right away if things are busy, the place is about as big as the average home kitchen, if not smaller. They cook the food on the grill right there in front of you, so it's cool to watch.
The people that work at Jim Denny's are friendly.

Delicious and greasy burgers. Cramped quarters with only 13 stools at the counter. Pancakes as big as an Irishman's head. The chili is bomb. And when they have the tortilla soup, order it, and then thank the owner, Patsy.

My favorite burger place. Recommend it to anyone looking for a good, non-fast food burger.
Wait time is a little long, but well worth it. Great Sacramento history for that location.
100 reviews . . . Damn, I need to get a life, or some sleep. But, Yelp is so "fun, useful, cool . . . and cathartic" (acronym for ya?).
100th for a place that will make it to 100 years, soon enough.
What other place in the area can boast damn-near 75 years of seasoning their grill . . .now that's some serious seasoning (I am only hoping my cast iron skillet will someday attain a fraction of that kind of seasoning).
I will always have nostalgic memories of Jim-Denny's, when my mom would very rarely treat me to a day with her at work - an office job back in the days when you would see a big harvest-gold or avocado-green ashtray on every desk, and chain smoking in the office was the norm. The highlight of those smoke-filled days at work with mom, was firing all of her co-workers and then walking across the street to get a burger at Jim-Denny's.
Today (some 20-odd years later), Jim-Denny's is starting to become part of my Sunday graze-fest.
This place is tiny and will always be tiny, as it's on some kind of historical building list and cannot expand. Yet, somehow they were even able to fit a Christmas tree in there last month.
And, food-of-unusual-size is getting grilled up nicely from such a matchbox of a place.
Seriously.
Hollow yourself out. Really. Make sure you're all good and empty (whatever it is you need to do *cough* colonic *cough*). Because I don't think there's a human alive that has ever finished the "Scott's Just Right Breakfast". "Just Right"? Just right for whom? Paul Bunyan or a small country, maybe.
I have a friend who IS hollow, and can put a hurtin' on Bunyan-esque meals, but this hollow pal couldn't finish the Scott's "just right" breakfast, which includes that MONGO pancake. Yes, the pancakes are touted as being larger than your head. As I have a pinhead, that's not hard to accomplish. Butt, J Lo could make full-coverage bikini bottoms with this pancake.
On my last visit, there was joint razzing of a fairly large dude that ordered this breakfast. I, and other strangers at the counter warned him. Luckily, Patsy (manning the grill) offered to hold off cooking the rest of his breakfast while he tried to make a dent in that pancake. . . Well, needless to say, Patsy didn't have to break a sweat and cook up the rest of his meal.
And, another luckily . . . If you really want a pancake, without bustin a gut, you can add a mini (yeah, mini, as in Jim-Denny's skewed idea of mini) pancake for a buck. I am in love with the banana pancake, but they also have other changing flavors such as peach, pumpkin, chocolate chip, apple cinnamon - so be sure to ask what flavors they are doing that day.
This is also a place that I can even feel comfortable dining alone - because it's so small, you'll never be quite alone here, and will eventually end up chatting with the owners and other customers.
Love that I could pick out a cute little Christmas-themed mug for my coffee; it just adds to the warm-fuzzies I get eating a nice hot breakfast there. Check out the specials posted up behind the counter. I lust for the "Stack" (it may not be one of the specials, but they can still make it). It's a delicious sausage gravy, that I would love to swim in, topped with hash browns, 3 eggs - any style, 3 slabs of bacon, or sausage, and cheese. I also ask for some of their homemade salsa on the side - yummy. Then I add on a "mini" pancake for a buck - yeah, I usually end up noshing on these leftovers all day.
Breakfast ONLY on Sundays, so don't go expecting to get a burger - just grub down on a delicious breakfast. Poor schmucks . . . I've seen a few customers leave after finding out they couldn't get a burger on Sunday - they don't know what they're missing - oh well, more room at the tiny counter.
I'm gonna get out of my Sunday rut soon, and make an effort to go there when they're making burgers again, just for the sheer fact that you can add a side of bacon, and side of peanut butter to the burgers! Makes me wanna kiss that metal cock statue out in front - oh yeah, I did.

So a couple of friends and hubby and I decided to try out the Jim-Denny's burgers, head-to-head with Willie's. (We're doing Squeeze Inn vs. Nationwide next.) The burgers from Jim-Denny's were monstrously big but so was the price tag. $9.50 for a cheeseburger is too steep! Yes, it was scrumptious but I'm not sure it was worth the price tag.
The burger: juicy, on a nice bun, cheese perfectly melted. Tomato sliced a bit too thick. Yummy grilled onions and nice, crisp lettuce.
Price: Too high.
It did beat the pants off the Willie's cheeseburger, but then again, the W's burger was 4 bucks less.

I never listen. Why do I read reviews if I never listen???
I read yelp reviews and they all seem to say the pancakes are out of control. Do I believe them?? Nope!
Jim-Dennys is pretty dive-y. A counter and some stools...thats about it....but thats the way I like it! When writing down your order they also ask your name (nice touch). Me and my husband both ordered the "mini breakfast". I mean it is called "mini" right??? How much food could there be.
Let me just tell you, the single pancake that you get in the "mini" was humongous and oh so yummy. I don't think i can even describe how huge and thick it was...I mean it was bigger than the plate it was on! I honestly think i ate like 1/3rd of it....maybe less.
The rest was all good too...eggs, bacon, good hashbrowns....it was all top notch.
I have only had breakfast here but they were switching over to lunch as we were leaving and those burgers (esp the ones with chilli pilled sky high) looked delish.

Fast, friendly, no-nonsense service. My 1/3 pound beef "Joey" was around $8. My friend had the "old fashioned", priced around $5, which had the thinnest patty ever ( definitely go with a bigger burger). Seemed a little over-priced...but hey, that's ok...if it's good I don't mind paying more. Not greasy, juicy patty, good bun. The fries rivaled McDonalds (which I am a big fan of). I guess you're also paying for a bit of history and nostalgia. This is a real diner and a real dive (flies and all). It's also the most real burger you'll have in Sacramento.

With all of the hoopla surrounding Squeeze Inn especially after they were featured in an episode on the Food Network's "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives," it is a shame that Jim Denny's was not represented in Sacramento. First of all, despite that they use a local hamburger patty vendor that many Sacramento restaurants use, I find it amazing that they can take a bland manufactured hamburger patty and turn it into something extroridinary. In my book, no matter what flaws the restaurant has, there is no way I can knock any stars off because of the talent of the cook. I really cannot find any flaws with Jim Denny's. It is a nice cozy place with a very friendly staff that is family owned that followed the rich tradition of the establishment.
On another note, they also serve breakfast and there is no better bang for your buck than breakfast at Jim Denny's. I have ordered a pancake and boy was it a massive pancake as it more than covered the plate that it was served in and on top of that there was a huge portion of hash browns, eggs, sausage and bacon. I swear, this is the first time in my life that I have not finished a breakfast meal ever. Forget what you know about breakfast diners in Sac, this is the place to go for a tasty and hearty breakfast. So now, my dilemma is whether to have breakfast or lunch on weekends here.

A total dive that I'll be returning to. Side by side seating at the counter. On the last hour before closing on a Saturday, there were only a few customers sitting inside but the phone-in orders were all of the sudden surging.
The counters, the bolt down stools, the walls, are all worn down, giving it character and a comfortable feel. Everything is wiped down but no matter what, slightly greasy to the touch. Regardless, if a few of my fries dropped onto the counter, I'd probably trust that I wouldn't die if I ate 'em. Not that I'd make this a habit!
Not listed in the on line menu, I ordered the biggest thing they currently had on their PAPER menu... a Joanna Burger. At $8.50, you get 2 big patties in your burger. I ordered mine medium rare, with grilled onions, jack cheese and cheddar cheese. Fries or choice of other sides are included. The counter lady and cook were friendly.
The patties, onions AND the buns were all cooked on that greasy grill. With the cook prepping all of the orders, it was fun observing the slow moving wave of grease being pushed into the grease trap by spatula.
The burger order was delivered in a basket and dripping hot. On the side was 2 thick slices of tomatoes, a huge slab of lettuce and some pickles. The combination of burger patties, lettuce, bun, onions and cheese was so thick, that I could barely fit it into my mouth. I had to take a bite out of the burger first, then take a bite out of either a piece of tomato or pickle.
The burger dripping scenes in the Carl's JR commercials have nothing on my Joanna burger. Getting to the end of the burger, the grease actually got the remaining pickle and tomato to stick to the bottom of the bottom bun. A 5 star rating for that wonderful burger experience. Highly recommended to warm and clog your heart. The best grease burger I've had in a long time.
Negatives.
- Fries. About the size of McDonald's fries (3/16" thick), I wasn't impressed with the combination seasoning and salt - there was too much of both. I'll see if it's possible the next time - I'll try to order the fries without any seasoning or salt, and salt them on my own. If it weren't for the seasoning and salt, I think I would've enjoyed the fries.
- Room temperature. With the summer day at about 90 degrees, the ceiling mounted, old air conditioning unit was working at maybe, 75% efficiency. It was good enough to keep things bearable inside the diner though.
- Parking. With the diner on a lot, all of the parking spots were taken up by the Jim-Denny's crew. Jim-Denny's shares the lot with a printing company - the majority of the parking spots are marked for the printing company. I had to find nearby metered parking on the street.
Update 6/26/2007. I ordered the fries without seasoning or salt this time. It's safe to say that the fries were pretty good!

Perfect "nickel burger" and fries for about $4.50, cheese, mushrooms, are extras but thats ok.
My boyfriend once tried a burger with peanut butter on it in Hawaii and we have been on the search to find another place that serves up a similar burger. When I checked the menu online it noted that peanut butter was a $.75 extra, just like cheese and mushrooms. I told him about it and that was the only motivation he needed.
He was very happy with the burger, the cook even asked if he wanted the peanut butter on both sides of the bun and the burger itself.

Great burgers, and amazing fries! I've had their mushroom burger and just a cheeseburger and both were incredible. Their fries have always been fresh and perfectly cooked. not too thick, not to burnt.
I got a breakfast burrito here too and it was little intimidating. I can put away a lot of food but this thing was made with at least 2 potatos, and the sausage wasnt like chorizo, it was whole links of sausage, which was pretty good. But yeah, watch out for breakfast, its insanely large.
The only thing I didnt like about this place is I wasnt sure if I was supposed to order at the back door and pick up at the front, or order at the front and eat at the front, it was kind of confusing. I usually just play it by ear everytime I go there. anyway, enjoy if your on your way home on the 160 south.

The "Dive Diner" off-shoot of the "Dive Bar Connoisseurs" group visited Jim Denny's for dinner Thursday evening. I have been looking for a reason to revisit Jim Denny's (haven't eaten there since the late '80's when I worked at the Capitol). Now I am asking myself, why did I wait so long?
If you're looking for a burger and fries - this is the place.
See my photos of the size of the grill (it's tiny, but with only 10 stools at the counter, it gets the job done) and the food - I didn't actually order the #8, but another dive diner did.
My selection was the Joey Burger, a 1/3 pounder with mayo & mustard. I added cheese & bacon and chose fries as my side. The fries were served first (the fryer is in the back while the grill is in the front window area) and were shoestring sized and quite tasty.
My burger was cooked perfectly.
I will definitely be back, especially now that they have dinner hours 4 nights a week. I am also looking forward to trying out their breakfast someday....

A tiny little burger shack at 12th and H. I never got to try it because it was only open for lunch, but now they are open for dinner, until 9 on Saturdays...
I went out with some hungover friends in search of some greasy hamburgers and found that Cookie's had already closed! So we drove around aimlessly looking for a great cheeseburger, but Willie's wasn't going to cut it. I drove and drove, cruising the grid for about 30 minutes until I saw a beautiful light in the distance. It was an "Open" sign at Jim-Denny's; I knew that fate had brought us there.
We stepped inside and saw a long counter with room for about 10 diners. The menu had several sizes and varieties of burgers ranging from a little McDonalds happy meal sized burger to a one lb monstrosity. Most are priced around $6-$8 (including your choice of fries, potato salad, or mac salad. They also have milkshakes for $4. The menu details the long history of Jim-Denny's, dating back to the mid 1930's.
I had the smaller burger with colby cheese; my friends had the 1/3 and 1/2 lb burger with bacon; they were beautiful, juicy, and perfectly cooked. The fries were nice and greasy. I wasn't too impressed with the potato salad.

Though billed as "the busiest 10 seats in Sacramento", the friendly owners-staff at Jim Denny's let you take your time savoring a meal. I stopped in here for a Saturday AM brunch on a recent weekend in Sac, on the recommendation of staff at the nearby hostel.
Your meal takes awhile to be served if only because everything is cooked on one grill in the front window of this trailer-sized restaurant. But I was entertained by conversation going back and forth over the counter, as the staff talked and joked with the regulars.
I had chicken apple sausage with two eggs and a side of biscuits and gravy... and yes, I managed to pack it all down, all of that heavy delicious comfort food. Biscuits and gravy were especially good. OJ wasn't fresh squeezed but I suppose that oranges are more $$ these days. Price was just about right for a breakfast of this size ($11 for my meal, w/o tip.)
I'd love to come back for their pancakes, which are bigger than you'd believe... I watched the cook ladle melted butter onto the pancake as it cooked, so it must have tasted so rich. A lot of the regulars were ordering the "Morning Drew", which I didn't get b/c of the ham (I don't eat red meat) but looked delicious.

Amazing burgers. Not safe for vegetarians. Sure, they have veggie stuff on the menu, but it's all about the grill and you know that ain't tofu grease. A colleague turned me on to this after a long day walking the halls of "the building" and now it's the highlight of any trip to Sacto. Maybe not every trip, or my arteries won't make it to age 40.

Don't let the size and look of the place deter you from eating here. Yes, it is small -- holds maybe a dozen people inside. But, after a long night of visiting my old watering holes, I head over here first thing in the morning. Since I don't eat pork, I like that this place offers different types of protein, like turkey and chicken sausages -- and these aren't the small breakfast sausage links, but jumbo size. Add three sunny side up eggs, crispy hashbrown, toast, and large cup of coffee, I'm ready to face the world.

A Sacramento institution, Jim Denny's is an unassuming, no-nonsense burger joint that serves up some of the very best American grub in Northern California, and a low price. The food portions are large, messy and delicious. A simple joint, serving simple food, at a great price. You will walk away and not feel hungry for hours.

Ok, I know that people think Jim-Denny's is soooo good, but I cannot say the same. The first time I went, I loved my breakfast (not any better than Denny's, but still good) and Patsy was a great cook. Kinda expensive for what you got (It cost $30 for both of us).
We went back for lunch the next week, and had a horrible service experience. The employees were completely rude. My burger was ok, but not very flavorful, and no better than In-n-Out, for about 4 times the cost (Again, about $30 for both of us). Hubby went to put ketchup on his fries and the ketchup was rancid.
We thought we'd stick with breakfast, and went back for my birthday. We got there at 10:05, asked if it was possible to get breakfast. We were told that if we wanted breakfast, we should have gotten there 5 minutes earlier. Seriously? Like this is McDonalds and you "have" to change the menu over? The breakfast food wasn't even put away, and you're being rude?
For the amount of money this costs and the quality of service, I'm going to find another greasy spoon.
Since Jim-Denny's burgers have already been Yelped from here to hog-heaven, I'll just leave my comments on the Jim-Denny Breakfast Experience.
Here's my advice to you: Bring your appetite, because you won't need to eat anything else for the rest of the day. First, the atmosphere. You can't get any better than this for diner decor. One counter, ten stools. Sidle up, and make friends with the folks behind the bar. The coffee's pretty decent, and just like Cheers, they seemed to know everyone's names.
I ordered what was listed as the "mini breakfast". Since I am on the smaller side, and would like to remain that way, I figured the mini was the way to go. A "mini pancake", one egg, two bacon and some hash browns. The pancake was as big as my head. I couldn't even put a respectable dent in it. But damn, it was delicious. They have maple and boysenberry syrups in which to compliment your 'cake. The rest was good too, bacon nice and crispy, and the potatoes shredded and extra-crispy, just the way I like 'em. Husb got the "regular" breakfast, which was the same as mine, but a "regular" sized pancake, 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage and potatoes--he opted for home fries. I am not kidding you, I could have laid down on that pancake and used it for a sleeping bag. It was ridiculously enormous. It didn't even fit on the large oval plate.
I was planning on ordering one of their "breakfast sandwiches" to go for the lazy kid waiting at home, but when I saw our finished plates that looked like we hadn't even touched them, I opted to bring them home. The perpetually-starving teenaged kid couldn't even finish our food.
I guess my point is that the portions here are humongous. Go with a loved one and split a breakfast. You will LOVE it. Guaranteed.

Just a more recent update. Burgers are still really good but I think the quality has slipped since the last visit..... I miss Jim : (
I have been going to Jim Denny's for about 30 yrs. God.... I can't believe its been that long. Anyhow the place has not changed much. There have been several owners. The burgers with each owner have been VERY good but will never be as good as Jim's.
I used to get the super cheeseburger #1 . My mouth is watering as I speak. Things change a little in 30 years so now my wife and I split a #1 or get the smaller burger.
Its important to strike up some conversations with the help. They have always been friendly and that has always added to the ambiance of this place.
Also not that this is VERY casual dining and a real (not fake) throw back to the 30's and 40's.
The place has the best hamburgers and buns in town.

I've heard so many great things about this little 12th street hole in the wall, so I was really excited to try their burgers for the first time today. I decided to phone in my order and eat at home since i've heard the place is real small inside. The outside is adorable, a total 50's era burger shack. Gotta love that! Picked up my order at the side window and chatted with their really friendly staff. Shared a blackberry shake with my hubby while waiting for our food. It was very, very tasty. Nice and thick and had real blackberries in it. Not sure it's worth $4.50, but it was good.
Got the burgers and fries home and was ready to dig in. The fries weren't bad. They were the thinner shoe-string type. Reminded me of McDonald's fries but not as heavy and greasy tasting. I like thicker cut fries, but these weren't bad. Next I tacked my burger. I got the 1/3 lb. Joey burger with grilled onions and cheddar. I must say I was underwhelmed overall. The best thing about my burger was the bun which had a sweetness to it that I really liked. The meat on my burger was on the thin side and slightly charred on the outside, creating a little bit of a smokey crust, which overpowered the taste of the meat. I like my burgers more on the well done side, but this seemed a bit overcooked even for me. Other than that, toppings include standard mustard, mayo, lettuce, tomato, and pickles, which you assemble yourself. It just wasn't that impressive overall. I couldn't really taste the grilled onions or the cheese.
For $8.25, I expected a lot more. For that price, I really prefer Nationwide Meats' burgers, which use much better, tastier meat. Plus, Nationwide serves the thickest fries in town, so I think I've determined my favorite burger spot now. I would go back to JD's if I was craving a thick, tasty shake though!
