    Jimmy's is a sports bar/pub grub locus in downtown Mansfield.  We've eaten here plenty of times, but I've never written a review because it's neither offensive nor particularly exciting...it's actually kind of hard to pin down.  So let me try to briefly summarize:

    - Great place to watch a football game while eating. A.
    - Excellent fried appetizer ("pub pub") platter. A.
    - Okay burgers and about 50 other plates.  B+.
    - A little on the expensive side.  C.
    - Hostesses/servers who are either great or disinterested. B.

    It's really 3.5 stars, but with both grown-ups saying 3 stars and the kids saying 4, I'll point out it's not a democracy here: the parental votes win. As my wife said, "everything's cooked a little too rich and over the top, and the portions are a little too big, which is why it's a little more expensive." Still, it's worth visiting every once in a while, particularly on NFL Sunday.

    Perhaps it's the economy or simply another case of taking the customer for granted.

    We have enjoyed many a meal from Jimmy's in the past, usually take-out as I find their windowless main dining pit a bit too medieval. Tonight's $70 lite sup for 5 was uninspiring and barely filling. What brought me to these keys however, was their failure to include the promised cole-slaw with the fish & chips.

    Wow, a whole side-order of slaw.. I know I know, but it's simple... take the order, print the order, fill the order and CHECK the order. I've come to expect errors at Mac's and Wendy's, but really.. if you're going to hold out your hand for $70 bucks, is it too much for you check the order ?

    What lost them a customer however, wasn't the boring food or the missed stupid cole-slaw; it was the uncaring "opps sorry" I got when I called. "If ya want ta come back I can give you some"....    Ain't likely to happen, ever.

    My kids are right I guess, no one does cares anymore.

    Went to Jimmy's Pub last week for a rehearsal dinner. I didn't know what to expect judging by the website but was impressed upon entry. They had prepared a little menu featuring butternut squash ravioli in a cream sauce, NY Sirloin, baked haddock and grilled swordfish. All accompanied by soup or salad.

    I opted for the haddock and it was done perfectly. Also, the Italian Wedding soup was delicious. We had an open bar and the waitress was on point with drink deliveries.

    All in all,I'll be back here when in the area.

    This is a great little towny spot! I've been here too many times to count and will all sorts of mixed company - dinner out with the family, beers and appetizers with anywhere from 3 to 6 friends, you name it! - and I've never had a bad meal or bad service.

    I'd recommend the Monte Cristo sandwich which comes with steak fries that are always perfectly cooked and crispy. There's usually a beer special, but even if there isn't, the prices here are reasonable.

    The only thing I'd say to avoid would be the "fancier" sounding entrees. Friends of mine have gotten both the chicken marsala and lobster ravioli and both times they regretted not sticking with simpler fare like a burger and fries.

    When we lived in Mansfield we enjoyed dinners at Jimmy's very much.  it is a laid back, casual atmosphere.  The drink selection is decent and relatively cheap.

    I was just about to rave about the Town Hall Special sandwich.  It was a thing of beauty.  To yelp accurately I checked the menu ... and it is GONE.  That was my thursday night sandwich.  My yelp rating is now switched from a 4-star to a 2-star.  I will not be coming back to Jimmy's when I visit Mansfield next.

    Their burgers are pretty consistent, and their fries are fine.  Their version of the Monte Cristo is tasty in a artery clogging scary way.  It's a good spot to head before hitting Tweeter Center events (it's far enough away so it won't get crowded).  

    Otherwise the rest of the menu items that I've tried are hit or miss.  Pricing is a bit steep for what you get (pub grub).  I'd give it a solid three stars if the pricing wasn't so out of line with the quality of the entrees.

    They have a good draft beer selection and do a decent job of rotating in a couple of new offerings once in a while.

    Some of the non-owner guys that tend the bar are cool and a lot of the regulars are the bar are cool and welcoming to newcomers.

    Food is always fresh. I stop by for lunch a couple of times a week. Drinks are properly priced, beer always cold. Nice casual place to take the family out. Prices are not out of line, you get a lot of food for the money.

    2 stars sums it up.  Meh.  I've experienced better.  I've had average burgers here, that's about it.  I wondered why the place is always busy.  I'm still wondering.

    A window or two wouldn't hurt either.  I'm pretty sure there are none.

    Parking lot is always jammed on Friday and Saturday night.  ?

    Best draft beer selection in the area with several craft brews from both coasts.  Food is typical pub fare; nothing exciting but executed fairly well the few times I've ordered food.

    I went to Jimmy's last night with a friend.  We arrived at 9:30 and the bar was packed and there were a few people in the dining room, where we were.  My friend got a French Dip sandwich and I got the Monte Cristo, which was done similarly to the Bennigan's version (but not as good as Bennigan's).  We also got a few beers: Newcastle and Hennepin both on tap, nice!  Around 11 the bar suddenly cleared out.  I guess people go to bed early in Mansfield.  Around 11:45 the staff began turning out all the lights.  Ok, time to go!  (damn early-closing everything in MA) It seemed ok and it's nice to have a place to get some food late in Mansfield, but this place isn't on the top of my list to visit again.

    I like Jimmy's, but the quality is inconsistent.  Sometimes you can go in and have a great meal, and other times get the same dish, but it doesn't taste as good.  A little pricey for pub fare.  Still, there's something about that place that makes it worth coming back to every now and again.

    Ive only been to jimmys pub a couple times and both times had a bad experince..The food was overpriced for what you are getting, the frozen drinks were okay, and the owner was extremely rude..the parking lot is always full but only a few people in the pub...they must all be parking at jimmys and going to casey oconners...the food is great and atmosphere is nicer...I will never go to jimmys pub again.

    Jimmy's is the most overrated restaurant in town. The food is ridiculously overpriced and sub-par. Don't waste your money.

    Always a worthwhile stop when in Mansfield; I don't know about others but the food is consistently good. I am in Mansfield once a month and will have several meals during the week I have never been disappointed!

    I agree that this is the most over-rated and over-visited bar I have ever been to.  My wife insists on saying yes when other couples invite us out and pick this place to go to.  The food is over-priced and mediocre to say the least.  The bar-tender thinks it's funny to be abrassive.  If I want abrassive I'll go into Boston in Fanieul Hall, what's the name of the place where the watresses do that on purpose.  In the center of Mansfield, it's not funny especially when I don't like the place and I am forced to socialize there.  If I never went there again, I wouldn't miss it!

    This place is a nice relaxed restaurant to grab a good meal and a beer.  Food is priced affordably.  (quick rant. other reviews on here claiming its over priced must only order from Mcdonalds dollar menu.  They have many $13 entrees and sandwiches for $8.  Yea thats really breaking the bank...give me a break guys).  They also have a good selection of beers, usually they will work in a couple of local brews.  Servers are very friendly.  Only downside is it does get a bit crowded.  Go on a Weds or Thurs night.  

    Highly reccomend the TBC Prime Dip and George's Pastrami.

    I find Jimmy's food quality to be sporadic.  Sometimes just so-so and other time's very good.  Went in and ordered a baked haddock dinner and asked to have a double order of green beans (veggie of the day) rather than a salad.  I was surprised when they said there would be an extra charge to substitute a vegetable for a salad.  I do this quite frequently in restaurants and have never had that happen.  I will say the baked haddock was very good.
