    Loaded fries
    Joe Y.

    Stopped in for some loaded fries and drinks. Loaded fries were LOADED!...too many toppings to list. There was a great acoustic singer entertaining us as well. Great place to stop in for a quick snack and drink

    Menu, bar happy travelers!

    Looking for a place to drop in and have a good burger. Big Jimmys was perfect for that and happy hour drinks too! We had to order at the bar, plenty of seating available, Live music. Jump In off the rush of Broadway grab a burger and fries, drinks and back at it. Food came out quickly, burger was juIcy and as I requested. We'll be back!

    I know it's a lot of people's big dream to sing in Nashville. It's not as hard as you think. As a fact, it might be the one thing that you do all day long. This place is located on the side street off of Broadway . We were looking for some food . Curly fries and Jalapeño poppers . Let's not forget a side order of sing-along music with the Musician singing in the restaurant! Unfortunately, I did not get his name, but he was really good and we all sang along with him !

    If you're looking for fun, great burgers!! Excellent music, look no farther!! This place is one of our favorites on Broadway, well actually just off Broadway

    Big jimmy's is a American food/bar establishment located right in the heart of downtown nashville Tennessee popular strip of honky tonks, bars and eateries. My buddy and I was in town for an event at Nissan stadium on a Saturday night and was looking to grab a bite to eat for supper before our event. Every place in the immediate area was insanely crowded with longer waits. This newer establishment we was able to grab a spot and get some food much quicker. You walk to the bar and order the food and receive a number and seat yourself at first available seating. The food menu is much more limited than the drink menu. Pretty much strictly hamburgers. I personally went with the Daddy burger with bacon. Sides are À la carte and cost per siding added. So this needed up being a $20 burger after extras and tip. My buddy went with the Spicy chicken sandwich and a Mille lite. The burger was on the smallish side for the price but it did have a very good flavor and they processed the food rather quickly. My buddy enjoyed his spicy chicken sandwich but said it didn't exactly wow him. Overall the place has a nice atmosphere and worked well for what we both needed. The pricing was borderline ridiculous but which is this places only downfall that we experienced.

    I went into town today for some business and had the family with me. We had a coupon for Big Jimmy's and decided to give it a try. What a waste. Save your money. There so much better food downtown than this. Bowling alley burgers. This is the best way I can describe them. I would have enjoyed McDonald better (I LOATHE McDonald's). This is only getting 2 stars because the pepper Jack Mac and cheese was the only good food. This is one of those bars downtown that only survive because of everyplace else down there is packed. So they get the overflow. (I made the mistake of going there on purpose) Staci wasn't friendly, at all. It seemed when we arrived we interrupted whatever she was doing and it didn't make her happy. Barely a "Hello, how can I help you" . No one else was in the restaurant. I should have left right then. All over the tiny restaurant was tiny little signs saying "no table service, order at bar". 4 Burgers (one of them free actually because I had the coupon), 2 orders of onion rings, one curly fry and pepper Jack Mac and cheese. 2 cokes and beer .... ONE HUNDRED AND TWO DOLLARS! To top it, Staci decided to add herself a whopping 20% tip and she did NOTHING. We had to retrieve our food and drinks from the bar. For a 20% tip you'd think she'd bring her ass out from behind the bar and deliver the food. She didn't bother checking on us or asking if we needed anything else. And why should she, she gave herself a tip anyway. I can see why she's on day service in a busy tourist town. No one wants to deal with someone like her in the evening when people actually patron the bar.

    This is a cute little place on 2nd street off the main tourist attractions on Broadway. We saw three different women over the course of two nights and all were wonderful musicians. It's much more intimate and less congested than what you'll find on Broadway. I highly recommend the chicken sandwich!

    I got a good old burger and a beer at big Jimmy's bar and Grill restaurant. We had a good time. It was very crowded so it was hard to get around but this is because it was a fun atmosphere. They have live music and it was good, so we really enjoyed ourselves.

    NYE and we made a dinner reservation but that restaurant (Nashville Underground) SCREWED us so we were hangry and it's busy everywhere but we stumbled in on Big Jimmy's. They saved our NYE! Casey and Jax are amazing. And the guys who cooked our food, also amazing: We were at a ton of bars today on Broadway and all of the staff were rude and miserable to be working on NYE (get it... but at $15 per drink...I don't get it). It was SO refreshing to have bartenders who are welcoming and fun and happy. Turned our NYE around! Yeah, thank you - we love Big Jimmy's!!!!

    Nice bar with table seating on the side.

Made some talk with an older gentleman who was really nice. A young man then came and took our drink order. My kids got sodas while my husband and I opted for adult drinks. I got the strawberry Paloma and it was definitely not lacking in booze. My husband ordered a Tennessee drink, can't remember the name but that one was also strong but good. We ordered wings, my son ordered the California classic, my daughter ordered a regular burger and my husband and I shared the Tennessee and the bacon ranch chicken sandwich. The wings were delicious. They had a different taste than what I've eaten before. I usually dip my wings in ranch but these were so good I decided to eat them without ranch. We all loved them. Now to the burgers and sandwich. By far one of the best burgers and sandwiches we've ever had. My kids got fries and I ordered tater tots. The fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The tater tots had the perfect crisp. The ranch we ordered on the side was good as well. Plenty of tvs all around. The place had a nice cozy vibe but could also definitely be a good place to have some drinks and meet people at their bar section. This is definitely a place we would come back to.

I've been here numerous times with friends and family and never not enjoyed the food and draft drinks I've tried.

Alternately, you can order the burger and fries portion for 8.99 with whatever other drink you'd like. My most-ordered appetizer here is the Nashville hot cheese curds, which are a simultaneously spicy yet comforting start to any meal. Service on my most recent visit ended up disappointing, as it went from being so friendly and attentive to then feeling passively rushed out (despite it being a cold, slow Friday night with plenty of available seating and time until close, especially when we'd been there maybe an hour or so and were finishing our drinks).

We ended up sending it back which I think in all the places I've ever gone and ordered ice tea I've never sent one back. She did apologize and said she would remake it but I opted for water. We had chicken tenders which were just fair and they were cold. We also had the Thai chicken salad it was just fair as well. It was just a sliver of chicken a a lot of lettuce. The restroom, it was very slick. I almost fell. It appears that they probably use the same mop to mop the kitchen (where there is grease) as the rest room so it's just very slick. All in all it was just ehhh. I think it has potential based on the location but it wouldn't be somewhere I would go out of my way to go to.
