    Customer service: 5-star hilarious old people who I want to put in my pocket and keep forever. Food: meh... Pretty basic. Nothing out of this world or life-changing. Still good and worth the trip for a lil breakfast.

    Friendly and genuine staff, basic cheap diner food with a classic environment that reminds me of the corner diners in Cleveland that had been there for decades. The waitress was funny and snarky you could tell that she knew everyone and what was going in in there lives. Five stars because of the staff and for keeping the original diner alive.

    Breakfast. HUGE pancakes. Excellent service. Super affordable. Okay coffee. Sausage Patties (made in house) are GREAT. Will return for sure.

    Went here for lunch today. It was reminiscent of the coffee shops of old and we loved it. Food was good, service as good and very affordable. We will be back.

    Stopped by for breakfast after church. Ordered pancake, eggs and bacon. So yummy and the friendliest people!! Great food. Pancake was big and fluffy! Coffee was even great as well. Just the perfect place for Sunday breakfast!

    this is a high rating mainly because it's the kind of place where time has stopped. the food may not be 5 stars, but it's the simple atmosphere and the style of a bygone era that makes the experience worth a visit. It's free of attitude and rich in simplicity - a rarity in this time. Drop the attitude at the door and experience the moment before it becomes some short-lived boutique.

    Great diner breakfast fare. Recommend this place to anyone who wants a simple, satisfying breakfast at a reasonable price - no frills but good food and great service!

    Ugh, the hash browns were mush, the marbled Rye toast tasted like cardboard, and, I feel sick after eating breakfast there. Of course, if this is the kind of food you are used to, you might like this place, it's fairly inexpensive.

    Jim's breakfast hits the spot in a way that I have found to be completely unique compared to everything else in the Boise breakfast scene. They serve very simple but well-prepared food and I would love to know the secret to their perfect over hard eggs. The waitstaff is great, the coffee is tasty, and the clientele makes it feel like a neighborhood diner. Once you get a table (which can be challenging on Saturdays and Sundays) the wait time between ordering and getting your breakfast is so short that I can't even finish the first section of the paper, which is saying something since I'm usually reading the Idaho Statesman. If you're looking for somewhere with endless menu options and amazing Sunday brunch after a night out and about I don't think this is the right place, but it's perfect for a low key start to the day. Plus, for $5.50 you get an egg, hash browns, and toast. I've also tried Jim's for lunch. It's...alright. Again, very basic food, but I suppose I haven't tried enough to form an opinion. Note: when ordering breakfast on a split ticket on a busy morning, they like it if you tell them you're paying separately before they start writing down your order.

    Heh, my niece just had her birthday there and everyone sang. Totally genuine compared to the corporate facade of intimacy that you would find on your birthday at Joe's Crab Shack, for example. One of the cooks recommended the patty melt to me. That sounded good so I went for it. It is a simple, melty, oniony, burger on rye experience. Nothing to rave about, but reminded me of lunch at my grandma's. Once at breakfast there after a night of dancing, Pat the waitress (think classic 1960's dinner caricature of a waitress) said to my friend, "You been home yet honey?" Pat then proceeded to describe how she used to do her hair. She'd cut the bottom out of an industrial sized metal can (the top, of course, already removed to get out the beans or whatever was in it) stick her hair in, turn her head upside down and dowse her mane with Auquanet. Presto! instant beehive. Now that is what I am talkin' about. A waitress who questions the intended use of restaurant supplies and turns them into fashion tools. You ain't getting that kind of cultural nugget at IHOP.

    Meh. Couldn't figure out why I had never been in there before. Decided to give it a try today. Denny's style breakfast at best with a few extra dollars added on. I had hoped for some kind of no frills diner with good food. Boring menu. Waitstaff was nice.

    This is a hard one to review....on the one hand, the main part of my meal was nothing extraordinary...on the other hand their shakes and soup were to die for...and then throw our fire cracker of a waitress into the mess and it makes for one bizarre dining extravaganza (yes, I said extravaganza)--and one that every Boisean should definitely experience at least once. Where to begin? I guess let's start with location--Jim's is located in the same shopping center with the Boise Co-op (just a couple doors down from the Co-op wine shop). The interior is like any old fashioned diner--counter swivel stool seating and then booths and tables throughout. We went there for lunch, and let me tell you this place was hopping! We were able to secure the last table in the joint (though we could have sat at the counter if we so chose). I and my dining companion ordered the tuna melt special. I had mine with their tots (which were scant). My dining companion ordered a bowl of clam chowder, which was a hearty, herby (that's a word, right?), steaming bowl of fabulousness (yes, I tried it). I also ordered a chocolate shake and my dining companion a strawberry. Unlike many places in town that tout fabulous shakes, Jim's does not have an extensive selection (I think the options were strawberry, chocolate, caramel, and vanilla...maybe one or two more), however, ALSO unlike many places in town this joint actually delivers one of the better shakes I've ever had the pleasure of slurping (or spooning would be more apt--as it was thick, thick, thick!). Now for the atmosphere (less about how it looked...more about how it felt). This is definitely a neighborhood diner. Everybody seemed to know everybody...and if you didn't know anyone--the spit fire red head waitress made sure you were paid attention to none-the-less (she gave my son a quarter to get a prize out of the little gumball-like machine...and, at one point, I believe she told me she was going to "slap me silly" and "shoot me dead" in only the way someone of a certain generation, with a certain disposition can do and actually make you feel loved) . Two of the waitresses were celebrating their birthday and the entire diner sang to them...several patrons came in toting cards for them. To sum it up, it's just the type of place that not only fills you up physically, but makes you feel cared for in the process. Oh...plus...I've said this about other diners in town as well--but we went for lunch, which other than the shakes and soup wasn't extraordinary--but I think this place could probably make a kick butt diner breakfast and will definitely report back when I try it!
