Jim’s restaurant is a no-frills establishment that has a basic formula: keep it simple and quick with satisfying portions. With a casual, local bar vibe centred on food instead of alcohol (beer and spirits are available), the laid-back waitress has a greeting for regulars and makes newcomers feel like they’ve been there before. A wooden “Welcome to Jim’s restaurant” sign connotes a chalet feel and a TV pumps out the 24-hour news network while staff and local patrons share banter like family members in this pretension-free environment.

 

Jim’s restaurant is known for its westerns, club sandwiches and rotisseries. Its standard fare includes banquet hamburgers (1/4 lb. of beef), corn beef on rye or kaiser, New York sirloin steak and chicken dinners (whole, half or quarter). Also served up are Greek specialties such as gyros dinners, Greek salads, chicken and pork souvlakis and vegetarian pitas that substitute feta cheese for meat. The all-day breakfast includes a selection of omelettes, peameal bacon, French toast, pancakes, cereal and side orders for those looking to add to the already large portion dishes. And don’t worry about breaking the bank at Jim’s, because a full meal with sides and alcohol will only cost you a small amount.
