Jimmy's Restaurant

The sausage is nothing to write home about but it's amazing how many places can screw up pancakes , I.e. undercooked etc- these pancakes were light tasty and just the right size. Lots of options for breakfast and it's served early and til late -4pm.

I think they missed an opportunity by having a liquor license but not offering bloody Mary's or mimosas, especially in this neighborhood.

This restaurant was a pleasant surprise. We were celebrating all the February birthdays at my church and we chose fells point because it's a great location for a celebration.

We originally chose milk for chocolates, but you can't make reservations and when we arrived we quickly realized it only sat 8 people and we had a party of fifteen.

So our party of 15 spent 30 minutes searching fells point, federal hill, and the waterfront for a restaurant that could accommodate us on short notice. We came up with JIMMYs and I'm so glad we did. The waitress was wonderful. The food was great. And everyone enjoyed themselves.

Jimmys is my new breakfast spot for a large party in Baltimore. Most places are packed and tiny, but they have a lot of space and a very diverse menu.

I had the she crab soup and it was phenomenal. I took some home and ate it for two more days because of how great it taste. I also had breakfast which tasted very good and I will be back.

Don't get the Reuben sandwich $11.95 not at all worth it. Arby's is much better.
Steak sub was way to greasy with the back of the bread dripping.
The service was great. We ordered calamari appetizer that came out 1 minute before our lunch.I hate that. Obviously frozen but the red sauce was good.
It look likes this place is a breakfast spot and nothing else. With all the great spots to eat lunch skip this one.

We were looking for lunch down by the waterfront, and didn't really want to spend a lot of money or sit outside on an extremely windy day.  We found Jimmy's, and after checking yelp, decided it seemed like exactly the kind of place we wanted.

We ordered a couple of drinks (he had a beer, and I had a mimosa).  So far so good.

We both ordered patty melts - and they were great!  Rye bread was really good - and the combo of meat to melty cheese to onions was perfect.  Fries were hot, fresh and plentiful.  

It absolutely fit the bill for lunch.  (People were still ordering breakfast, and pretty much everything coming out of the kitchen looked really good!)

This has been one of the worst experiences I've had in a long time. I try to pride myself on going to great restaurants. First off, this place is supposed to be famous for its breakfast. My party arrived at 11:15a and they were sold out of grits and home fries. The menu says breakfast until 4p. So how can these two main breakfast staples be sold out already. We decide to stay anyway and order with substitutions of course. We're almost done with our meals and we see a huge roach crawling on the wall. 5 meals and 5 beverages and to compensate us for this disgusting occurrence, they took off 2 of the beverages. I'm appalled, disgusted & disappointed. NEVER AGAIN!!!

Okay - so let me preface my review - this is a breakfast/brunch DINER. It's old school. It's basic. It's greasy. It's delicious.
Go simple, get breakfast (even for lunch), expect diner food, and you will be happy - and for a really fair price. I ventured off the Breakfast menu with the Mozzarella sticks. They weren't bad - but really exactly what you expect, only not really seasoned. Still, it's fried cheese, I  was happy.
My meal was 2 eggs over easy (down slightly on the medium side, but that's actually how I like it) toast, hash browns and sausage. I'd add descriptions, but it is exactly what you're expecting. I'll probably stick with the bacon, it just looked much better.
My group left happy - but one of us was particularly happy... he'd ordered the milkshake. I'm jealous and planning on going back to get my own soon. That thing looked amazing.

Tried it for happy hour. They have pitcher specials and honestly the margarita was not drinkable.

We were just looking for a snack and some drinks and the margarita pitcher sounded like a good idea.... it was not as it turns out. If I salted a car battery and put a straw in it I might have a better drink. Seriously, it was not edible.

The babaganoush was pretty good tho and the pita too! Turkish coffee also on point!

They were nice enough to let us send the pitcher back and we just had beers.

There are plenty of places to eat in Fells point.  I have been here a few times. I was underwhelmed this time. I ordered the chicken and waffles. The chicken was actually chicken tenders (frozen?). If you are looking for actual bone-in chicken this is not the place. The waffle was descent and my wife's omelette was good.

The server seemed like she was bothered by us having to serve is breakfast. Refills on drinks were not offered..and it was not busy. We did not feel welcomed.

The original Jimmy's was never a great restaurant, but the food was decent and the service was always friendly and competent. Don't expect that from the current proprietor and staff. They never brought something I ordered, which was probably a good thing, given the food that I did get wasn't very good. A good waitress would offer an apology. Don't expect that here. I thought I'd give them a shot, but my first visit will be my last. There are just too many great places for breakfast in Fells for this place to be even considered.

Had chicken fried steak, scrapple and sausage.
The chicken fried steak was thin, frozen and tasted like a dried out dehydrated chicken patty.
Scrapple tasteless, cold and not crispy.
Sausage patty was thin and dried out.
Skip it.
