This updates 2004 review. We've been here many times since then. Food is always decent and reasonably priced but no longer cheap. Service is OK. Last time we cate here, it was Monday. All you can eat rib tips and wings for $15.95 (beer or soda incl). The ribs were a pleasant surprise-meaty and not overly fatty; I prefer adding nothing to them. Buffalo wings were surprisingly good. Nicely fried to golden crispy, good medium spicy sauce, fresh ribs and wings, blue cheese but no celery. I was full after one helping of ribs and two orders of wings. REfills on wings and soda were prompt. My companion ordered a burger with onion straws ($11)-OK. 2 sodas ($6) and a smores ($6) NOT made with graham crackers but huge. There were young kids running around everywhere. Large groups (over 4) filled the back room. It was still fun, got full on decent food and didn't break my piggy bank. Servers were harried but did not affect courteousness and promptness with clearing plates, getting water, check, etc.

Just ordered food from them. And I must say, the chicken fajita with cheese is very good as a last minute dinner, for those who are lazy or stressed.

I usually go on one of there special event nights. Its a great price (anywhere from $16-$23) for all you can eat and drink. Its not crazy packed and the staff is extremely accomodating and friendly. Depending where you sit it can get a little loud, but thats only if a game is going on. The food is great for the price and I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to watch a game, get good cheap food, and just hang out.

Ordered take out, came in about 30 minutes. The mac and cheese portion (ordered as a side dish, not with a meal) was generous and quite good. The house salad is a good size though the vinagerette lacks flavor. By far the best deal is the rib tips app ($7.95) which is a very large size and delicious tasting (not too fatty). The pulled pork sandwich, however, was ridiculous. There was practically no meat on it, and it looked quite meager. The fire fries were great, though the portion size was less generous (perhaps because it was included with the sandwich). All in, a very good take out experience.

I've been to Jimmy's many times, but I've avoided it lately. I find the service to be increasingly poor, with it taking too long to get a seat, and then forever for the waitress to come. They also can't the concept of an "appetizer" down, and always bring everything at once... They need to tighten up their act there - it's a great environment and they always have good sports on TV, but it's NOT WORTH THE HASSLE....until they improve...

I prefer their dry rub ribs compared to the ribs with vinegary sauces that they and every other BBQ restaurant offersI like my ribs salty and not sweet or tangy. Although I've never been to the restaurant (I'm a delivery customer since eating ribs is a messy business best savored in private), their service and people answering the phone have been consistently friendly over the five or so years I've been ordering from them. One thing I do wish is that they'd offer Deviled Eggsit's one thing that I crave but have to go downtown to the likes of Blue Smoke, etc., for.

Every Sunday, I try to head over there with some buddies to enjoy the best deal on the UES. For about $22, you get unlimited ribs, 2 side dishes, and unlimited beer. It's usually not entirely packed, but decent and the waitresses are nice, not to mention cute. I give it a thumbs up for Sunday evenings...
