I had the chicken caesar salad wrap with french fries and gravy and they were definitely a 10 out of 10.

We stopped there 15 minutes before its close time to grab a slice of pie, and it was everything I had hoped for. The staff were welcoming, quick, and oh-so friendly. The pie was clearly home made and came with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was so delicious I wish we had gotten two slices. A blast from the past I hope will survive a few more years.

I had the hot turkey and it was just perfect. Open faced the way I like it but I did get offered the option to have it like a sandwich. Jim is exactly what you need to remind you of how it was how it could be again and how good food always finds a crowd. This place is going to have to hire more people. So if you want to leave the city and come for a nice drive just west of Paris in Princeton Ontario. See how we do it in a great part of Ontario check out Jim's and come for a slice of Damn good Pie.

I've been a couple times and ordered in as well. It truly feels like your stepping into something out of a movie. The staff are generally quite friendly. I only eat halal so I can't attest to the non-halal options. But I've tried their waffles, milkshakes, and ultimate skillet. My favourite being the latter. Everything I've tried has been pretty tasty! I recommend. Once I ordered in the ultimate skillet though and it was not as good. It was mushed up and the flavouring wasn't as great. They also did not include toast. I'd say eating in is the way to go!

The seats also have the old school retro look. There is also a jukebox inside the diner; but unfortunately, it is just for display purposes. I asked the lady over the counter if it works, and she mentioned that it does not. While the value of the $10 promo ($10 for 2 burgers or footlong) is great, the taste of the food served is disappointing. Many of the food items and ingredients are not premium and seem like something easily available to purchase at everyday supermarkets. The burger and hotdog buns also look like the cheaper grocery kind. Good thing there was at least some level to personalizing the sandwich stuffings and sauces. What was surprising was that they did not have a veggie option. Almost all food places these days have at least some soft of vegan or meat substitute protein available in their menu. Johnny Be Good does not have any. My companion, who is a vegetarian, had to settle for a footlong sandwich without a sausage (or veggie sausage) and just compensated with it having a lot of the garnishes stuffed in. The last thing I want to mention is that when placing my order, I went with the $10 mixed burger & footlong as well as a peanut butter and chocolate sundae for dessert. Shortly after paying for my order, the server already called out and gave me the sundae. They should have at least waited a while before preparing the sundae. People should at least have time to eat their meal first before going for desserts. By the time I finished eating my burger and sandwich, my sundae had already almost melted.
