Excellent food and service my daughter Gabriella loves this place when she was attending yantacaw school. Great deal on student discounts as well. Keep up the great work guys! read more

More like a 3.5. Ordered delivery during lunchtime on a Friday. Food came on time and was nice and warm, but then again I live pretty close. I got a BLT which was almost fantastic. Heaping amount of B, but it needed more T for me to like it more. My side of Dandy's Chips was awesome; the portion was huge (it's listed as a side and was ~$4 so I wasn't expecting a whole large containee full) and obviously freshly fried. So crunchy, so simple, so good. They poked holes in the container so it wouldn't get soggy from the steam. Partner got a half rack of ribs; says the meat was not the best quality but it was cooked nicely enough to fall off the bone. The BBQ sauce was apparently too sweet for his taste. His fries were soggy (they didn't poke his container lol. Consistency!) and his side order jumbo pretzel was not that great. Definitely a jumbo, but hard as a rock, and didn't come with enough dip. Even my dog, who loves basically everything, did not want the pretzel. That says something to me. Also, the first thing the delivery guy said to me was: "No tip?" with what I'm hoping was RBF. ... I paid online with card and tipped with card. Jesus. Overall, I guess sitting in is better than delivery. read more

I had ordered a few times and always enjoyed the food. However, we got a delivery via DoorDash which included a salad. The lettuce was turning brown and the cabbage in the salad was covered in mold. This was totally unacceptable. My wife called the restaurant to bring this up. Instead of offering a solution, the person at Jim Dandy's on the phone said "the food was inspected" and to call doordash. That's really disappointing because I always loved their wings and onion rings. If you order from there, don't get a salad! read more

Fries were great-not greasy or soggy. Ribs were great-not fatty n u actually get a mouthful of meat. Couldn't tell the difference between half rack n full rack - in terms of size, it looked the same. We got full rack of ribs and half and half rib chicken combo. Other than the fact we couldn't figure out the difference between full n half rack of ribs, it was delicious! Got Guinness beer but totally flat. Would order out/take out from here...much better than ruthies in Montclair n prefer this type of BBQ ribs over the rub ribs at wood pit on Bloomfield Ave. read more

My fiancée and I ordered takeout from here tonight and wound up throwing all of it in the garbage. The food tasted "old" as if it had been re-heated and salty. It was a complete waste of $23. The chicken wings and burger were disgusting. read more

Ordered delivery from there about a month ago. Sorry Jim it wasn't quite as DANDY as we hoped. She had the chicken parm wrap, the chicken seemed microwaved and cooked to a new state of chicken matter. The roast beef in my panini was similar to the chicken, leathery, I also had never had a panini on a pita. To pay a compliment, the fries and onion rings saved the day. read more

Wings were good and my cheesesteak was decent. Didn't really like the cheese wiz they put on it. Tasted straight out of a jar. Would suggest American or provolone. Otherwise it's a good spot read more

I used to live in Nutley back 2014. When I would come here for lunch it was always a great in-and-out spot. Always liked the atmosphere here . read more

Jim Dandy's - a tray of ribs, french fries and a drink - American Near Me - Nutley, New Jersey

Really great tasty food (fall off the bone ribs!) and great prices!! Customer service ..also great!!

Was actually right nearby Jim Dandy's yesterday looking at an apartment. When we passed it my bf mentioned how he had been there a long time ago and remembers it being good. So we decided to go today for lunch, I'm always down for trying new spots. And I'm happy we did. It's a cool restaurant/pub with a country vibe. The train going around the room adds a nice little touch. We sat on the restaurant side of the place, you sit yourself. Lots of options on the menu to choose from. I got the Tex Mex Burger, he got the Black Jack Burger and we both shared Jim Dandy Fries. Everything was good, free refills on the fountain drinks which is def a plus. Service was good and not a long wait for the food. Def will return to try more things on the menu. read more

My friend and I came here for lunch on a recommendation. We ordered 6 boneless bbq wings I got a chicken wrap with sweet potato fries she got a bbq bacon burger with sweet potato fries and neither of us are leaving disappointed. Kinda wish i went for the bbq but I'm a creature of habit. Laid back atmosphere and pretty inexpensive. Would come back. Helpful tip: you order at the counter read more

This is not your great-great-grandpa's Jim Dandy's. For one thing, it ain't frickin' Jim Dandy in here. Oh, I go to *you* to order the food. Oh. And I have to find my own menus? (cue Lumbergh voice) "Greaaaat..." And pick up my own beer? Wait, are you telling me *that* (pointing to 10 ounce tall boy) is a pint? So, it kinda went a little back on track with the good burger, but they don't know how to make a nacho platter look appetizing, or even, I dunno, easily edible. I figured out how to flip (flip!) the melted carpet of cheese over to reveal generous jalapeo portions, probably to distract me from the lack of "cajun" chicken (cue inset photo of Chef Prudhomme's "Poultry Magic"). Oh, oh, best part. So, Blue Moon Ale is NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GREY, RIGHT? Well fuck all if it wasn't grey and I didn't notice until halfway. Gahh, and then, wait for it... solid chunks of mildew or friggin' walnut bark at the bottom. Do not lose control, do not vomit, pay and leave. So other than that, it sucked. -C read more

We ordered a Philly steak sandwich that tasted like generic steak-um grizzle and Monteray jack nachos that was actually cheese whizz. The chili was greasy and un appitizing. Shame on you. We will never go back nor recommend their food. The only thing good about our experience was the staff. They were very nice.i guess they need a new cook or new owner buying a better quality of food. read more

Succulent ribs!! And that is pretty much what Jim Dandy's should stick to. Here is why: The pulled pork sandwich had a good amount of pork but it wasn't juicy or particularly tender where I can say I wanted more and more and more ! The sauce just didn't do it for me! In addition, it lacked good amount of smokiness. When I had the bbq chicken I thought it was overcooked and lacked flavor. I only kept eating because I was hungry ! Other fall backs were the chili, Mac and cheese and baked potato. The Chili didn't have real beans in it. It must have been liquified-Not my fave. Mac & cheese was ehh! Dry and pale. Bake potato over cooked and dry! Try Wendy's instead. read more

Alright, here's the deal. Their food? Fantastic. Really. And more importantly, it's consistent. I've ordered the same thing numerous times (always a rack of ribs with buffalo wings to split with the bf) and it's always great. The ribs are outstanding and their prices are pretty fair. So if I was reviewing the place based solely on their food? 5 stars, easy. However, I just couldn't bring myself to give 5 stars based on the fact that the employees really need to consider how they act towards the customers. Everyone kind of needs an overall attitude adjustment. And look, I get it! Food service isn't the most fun job there is. But it's no excuse to act sour. I almost exclusively order takeout because every time I go to sit and eat there, I just don't feel welcome. I was tempted to give 3 stars based on all this but I felt it would be a little harsh. Hopefully something changes there. read more

Cliquey, Awkward for first timers. Upon walking into the establishment for the first time, there is no real direction. Patrons stare at you as if you're from another planet, you can't readily tell the workers apart from patrons, and there is no one to greet you - you're pretty much expected to know what to do/where to go. The concept of walking up to the counter to order your food is fine as long as you realize that is what you're supposed to do, after finding the seat of your choice - that is if you don't get the awkward stare down from the people at the nearest table. The food itself was just okay. The piece of wood in my sandwich made me lose my appetite after I was half way through it, and everything was just a bit too greasy. Many people love to come for the "famous ribs", which I haven't tried, and I can't say that I'd be in a rush to return any time soon. Perhaps we will see Jim Dandy's on Restaurant Stakeout one day soon. read more

The overall experience is 5/5. We came here on a limb. All we knew is that this was rated the second best around the area. We ordered the bbq wings which were delicious! The bbq stocked within your fingers that you have to suck all of it. Then we received the main entrees which were the BBQ bacon burger and 1/2 chicken rack. The appearance: great. The flavor: 4.5/5. The fries :5/5. I honestly wish that I ordered the full rack of ribs. Great casual spot. Not noisy. And great hosts ! read more

Don't forget to stop by on the way home from work or call for delivery for dinner one night when your craving ribs, a burger or chili! My favorites! So many more items on the menu to choose from and the kids always love the chicken fingers or hotdog with fries and a drink. Staff is always friendly read more

I can't help but give Jim Dandy's a great review. The food is fantastic! The wings are meaty and crisp, and the ribs are falling off the bone. The prices are fair, and they have a bar next door for anyone who wants to wash down their meal with a beer. Yet, it's a family place that's clean and lively enough for the kids. The service could always be better, but I didn't walk in here expecting a fine dining experience. That's not why you go to Jim's. You go for the food, plain and simple. read more

I got a ribeye steak sandwich with cheese and onions. When I first opened the box I thought they forgot the steak because I've seen more steak on a vegan hamburger and then on top of that once I took a closer i found they cooked the steak well through when I ordered medium rare. Overall, it was the equivalent of a bag of burnt chips the sandwich was mostly air because it definitely didn't have steak in it. I will be ordering elsewhere instead for now on. read more

The service wasnt great we just waited at our tables while the people at the counter stared at us for a moment and then just talked amongst themselves. Then we eventually figured out that we had to go up, get the menu, and order at the front. The food did not taste great. Meat was dry. Cheese was a generic yellow slice and fries were bland even with cheese and jalepeno on them. No ketchup offered. No salt and pepper on the table. Prices were reasonable and food was brought out at a decent time tho. read more

Disappointed I did the full rack for the price of a half rack . They definitely didn't give me a full rack. Looks like they just threw my food in the box sauce and stuff every where . I use to come to place alot when I lived in the area and now that I am back figured it would be nice going back. read more

Excellent Ribs, Buffalo wings and all the wings!! Literally the BEST HOT dog around (my fav is the chili with cheese dog). The food is great here and so much to select from! I enjoy the ambiance, very laid back and easy going! Never disappointed. read more

Ordered this a couple of days ago to go with the first game oh the NFL season! I absolutely love the ribs in this place. Fall off the no-bone tender and the sauce is really tasty. We also got the roast chicken to prep for this important day. All I can say about it is that it was okay. Nothing special but not bad. I definitely recommend coming here but I can only trek you to get the ribs since they're delicious. Also, another plus about this place is that the food comes out pretty quickly. read more

My boyfriend and I were in the area and after walking in and out of the restaurant across the street came here. Hey ordered a buffalo chicken panini and I a chicken blt wrap. The atomosphere for a Sunday was great. Cold tap beer, great tasting food we will definitely be coming back! read more

I have been more than impressed with the food they serve and the courteous staff! We love the burgers, the ribs (of course) and the sandwiches are good too! They are on grub hub which makes it easy! A good place to go if you are unsure what you want as their menu has burgers, ribs, hot dogs, wings, etc. read more

We order from here all the time but for delivery and we love it. I finally went today to the restaurant for the 1st time and it is a nice place. Service is good, food is good, as always. read more

Food was great. Service was friendly and working hard for the customer. Prices very reasonable.

Some of the best ribs I've ever had...hands down. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I love the laid back, seat yourself vibe. If I wasn't on a diet for my wedding right now I'd be there once a week atleast. read more

No doubt, this is the place for best bbq ribs ever, slamming wings, make you wanna smack your mama after you try those burgers, pulled pork and pannis sandwiches. Awesome spot to watch NFL, NBA and MLB. Chill with your friends. Overall, GO TRY IT, TASTE IT and BELIEVE IT!!! read more

Cozy little restaurant. One thing I didn't realize initially: Go to the counter to place your order and set yourself. It also isn't exactly a bbq place and there is no true steak entree, more or less a lot of sandwiches, wasnt aware of that beforehand. Staff was kind and courteous. Asked for recommendations and they suggested the ribs. The ribs were melt-in-your-mouth delicious! Literally were falling off the bone when picked up. Also ordered a side of buffalo fries which were good too! Had Coors rep there give us a free pint! Free beer is always a plus. If I could rate 4.5 I would but 4 because our side was served with our entree. Was expecting it to come out beforehand. Not a big deal but didn't expect everything all at once. read more

I'm not a big fan of hotdogs or ribs but had a craving for them and can I just say I was not at all disappointed. The ribs were cooked to my liking the hotdog was so fulfilling I will def be back. read more

Usually when I'm in this corner of NJ I stop at Ralphs's Pizza across the street. Tonight I thought I'd mix it up and grab a bite here. The only bite I received worth mentioning was on my wallet. What I ordered was not all that expensive (about $9.75) but what I received in food quality was worth about $4.95. My trusty partner aka ... my wife and I ordered Rib Eye Steak sandwiches, the brief of this was (btw... this was an upgrade) the sandwich which was served on appropriate sub bread was the meat was fatty and grizzly and was not char broiled more like the grill wasn't hot enough and the meat just "cooked" since mine ordered was "all the way" the pepper strips were canned the onions were fresh panned fried and I wanted mine with hot peppers, which to the establishment meant jalapenos, though when I asked and specifically requested the round cherry peppers my front man reply was "there all green and hot they'll do" Also I might add...he stated that in between blowing his nose and coughing...nice. This is not my first visit but alas my final. Oh yea, one more dig...I don't find an antique stove covered in dust and grease as a prop in the side window very appealing. read more

this is one of the best places for a burger/pulled pork sandwich around. had the italian hot dog here, wow! their panini's are superb. try the steak or pulled pork one, you will not be disappointed. the staff is awesome. friendly and fun. go next door to the mudhole and watch the game or hang out with the hot barmaids. one of my all time favorite places to hang out for a beer and their awesome food. sorry about the caps but it's just that good! 10 stars if i could. read more

FOOD IS GOOD.... IF YOU WANT "COMFORT FOOD".... YES "THE SERVICE"... IS (ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT). NOT GOOD. "WHERE THE SERVICE IS NOT PUT OUT IN THE ORDER IN WHICH IT IS RECEIVED". FIRST TIME THERE.... The "Rib DInner" ... You don't mind paying those prices for a 1/2 rack... however not when the completion of your meal is brought 20min. into it being served?? The appetizers were all thrown in with the main meal... and again...20 mins. into it being served! I realize that this is not a "formal" dining spot... regardless... ALL PATRONS ....should be treated with the same priority as those that "frequent" the place. When those that come 30 mins. later are served and I am still waiting on the completion of the dinner that I ordered.... that is not acceptable. I am a local resident therefore try to make a conscious effort to support the local businesses... however not when they take such little pride in the service they provide to their customers. (A note to the Owner of this establishment).... I have been in the restaurant industry for quite some time... If you are indeed "short-handed"... everybody pitches in to ensure customer satisfaction. There was certainly enough staff standing around for there to be future "satisfied customers". read more

Best wings in town! I recommend eating them at the bar or in the restaurant, so they're nice and fresh!
