Came here on a short notice with my mom. Here during lunch hour not very busy at all. Very spacious and warm welcoming. Not only Keno but various Slot machines and Dart boards. Ordered a quick lunch, I got the 10 wings for about $15 dollars and some change. A little over priced in my opinion but the wings were amazing! (Sorry no picture) My mom got the burger and came with fries at a reasonable $12 dollars and some change. Sevice was great, food came out in a timely manner. Would recommend especially if you just want to hangout, enjoy a beer have some good food, watch some sports and listen to some music. read more

Review left December 2024. Well earned 5-star review. Jimbo's Diner. This restaurant is located in/next-to La Vista Keno. It does not smell of smoke. If you're into keno, you can play at your dining table. There are over twenty 4-tops, a dozen booths, and several party tables. Music is modern and sublime. You hear it, but it never overwhelms. You'll soon get numb to the intermittent "Keno calling". It does sound tempting to play when you hear that "the last game had a two thousand dollar winner". I have never played. Service is excellent at Jimbo's Diner. Kurt W. waited on me tonight and, like his colleagues have done previously, did a great job. I started with a BIG bowl of delicious beef barley soup. I recommend the soup, but perhaps the smaller cup-size next time. Daily specials include prime rib on Thursday nights. That is what brought me here originally. Sub-$30 prime rib! I'm now coming back to try other food. Today is a Monday and it is Mexican night at Jimbo's Diner. Taco baskets and enchilada dinners are on sale. None of the specials cost more than $10 tonight. Expansive menu. Something for everybody. Unless it's prime rib night, I'm guessing it's hard to exceed a $25 tab unless you're drinking alcohol. Food comes out pretty quick. I was about 1/3 full after my huge bowl of soup, so I finished with an inexpensive, tasty BLT sandwich with cottage cheese. I couldn't finish everything... An endless soda, soup, and a BLT sandwich came to $18.43 (December 2024). Next time I will skip the soup. Or have soup and salad. A bowl of soup and a sandwich with a side is too much food. I want to try the daily specials. The prime rib is excellent. Plenty of off street parking. A healthy meal for a decent price. I highly recommend Jimbo's Diner. read more

LOVE,LOVE,LOVE JIMBO'S!!! Had the $9.99 Wednesday Meatloaf special and it's enough for 2. And you can play KENO. What's not to love...Extra Tip....The dessert is every bit as good if not better than high dollar places for a fraction of the cost! read more

We had a work "family" breakfast here. It was a lot of fun! Food was yummy and came out fast. Our server was a hoot and she remembered everything for a party of 15. It was quiet when we were there, but that was at 9am on a random Wednesday. Thanks Jimbo's looking forward to going back! read more

Great place for Keno. Okay place for food. They do have free coffee though. Menu is limited and the food is just okay. They do keep everything very clean and the staff is friendly but a bit slow. read more

Not the best atmosphere. No true drink specials. Waitress can't keep up with drink orders. Was a miserable time. read more

We came for lunch right when it opened at 11:00 on a Tuesday. Our server, Leah was very friendly and knowledgeable. I had the Jimbo cheeseburger, my companion had the BLT with onion rings. The onion rings could have had a little more flavor, but it was great that they weren't overly greasy and didn't fall apart. The dining room was clean and well lit. The keno was not disruptive to the meal at all. read more

Nothing to write home about. If you're into double portions they do pile it on. Keno atmosphere. Mostly deep fried food on the menu.

Perhaps you have never been to a diner, or perhaps you had been, but today they are hard to find....Well look no further than Jimbos Diner for the absolute home cooked, tasty food that will leave you full and satisfied. It may not have the decor of a fancy place, but that's not way you go out for a bite to eat. If you're hungry, if you're looking for good, no great food then this is the place. The only thing that is better is the staff. It's a place you will make a go to place.....as Tony Tiger would ssy...It's Gggggggrrrrrreeeeeeaaaaaattttttt!!!!!!!! read more

First of all I am giving Jimbos two stars because when we came in we were greeted quickly and very pleasantly by the staff. But after taking the order things went down just as quickly. I got the wrong order to begin with and the eggs are far from scrabbled. I had to wait while being hungry so my meal was finished before the server got over to the table to tell him I am missing part of the order. He looked me dead in the eye and asked if I still wanted it......................YEAH I still want it!! So had to finish that while my lunch company had to wait on me. Plus the Boom Boom sauce is lame. There is no Boom in that sauce trust me. Boring food and poor service. At least the atmosphere was really neat. read more

If you are looking for fancy dining, keep on driving by. Jumbos serves good food at a good price with friendly hometown service. The meals are no frills, but quality food. Sunday brunch goes until two. I had the Denver omelette, generous portion for the price and tasty. The hash browns were crispy just like I like them. Hopefully you like wheat or white toast, no fancy sourdough here. My toast was toasted well and well buttered. read more

Our service was great. Waitress was outgoing and funny. Food came out quickly and was just what we ordered. It's nice to have a place to go that's not a chain. read more

No more BOGO burgers on Weds. Fine. But they took away all the really good burgers and now they're just regular diner burger. Closer Keno place still has great burgers on the menu at a Weds night special. Chips and queso is described as, "Jack cheese, tomatoes, red onion and cilantro simmered to perfection and served with house made chips." I guess the tomatoes, red onion green Chili's and cilantro are the ingredients of rotel because that's all this tasted like, canned cheese and rotel. Should've read between the lines. And the house they make the chips is a Tostitos factory. Spaghetti was actually pretty delish. Waitress told me they were packaged frozen meatballs but I wouldn't have known otherwise. Menu says it comes with 4 but i got three which was still plenty. Spaghetti sauce is house made and on the sweeter side. Garlic toast with it was good. They seem to be going a much cheaper route and cutting corners, sadly, like a lot of places. Servers here are all so sweet and attentive. Never ever have had a problem with service here! If you aren't satisfied with your meal, don't take it out on them. They didn't make the changes I'm sure. read more

We would like to compliment Jimbos diner/waitress Brandy W for the excellent service Friday evening June 14. We reserved room for at least 50 guests and were treated with fast service and excellent food. We certainly give them a 5 star rating read more

Been wanting to visit for some time & finally had the opportunity. Didn't disappoint... Ordered the Biscuit & Gravy Platter and it was so good! Came out fast and hot and waitress was pleasant and efficient. She was on her own when I first came but was covering all the tables quickly with a smile on her face. Will be back for sure..... read more

Solid diner breakfast. Had the special of the day. Biscuits and gravy with amazing hash browns. 3.99 Added sausage link and egg. Total $7. Food came out lightning quick and really nice waitress. Nothing fancy as far as atmosphere. Just good breakfast served with a warm smile. Well done Jimbo's! read more

Food was good. Service was bad. Forgot the salads.a.d parmesan cheese for the spaghetti. Not sure we'lk be back. Coffee was good. read more

We went on a Friday night for their prime rib special. Upon walking into the lounge area a sign was posted stating that food orders were taking 45 minutes. Kudos to them for being honest. We decided to wait it out. For as packed as they were our waitress was right on top of us. The food actually only took about 30 minutes to come out. Huge piece of steak, baked potato and spaghetti. The prime rib was cooked well, and although the 2" strip on the end of the steak was tender, the middle was quite chewy. The baked potato was fine, and the spaghetti was just a standard very bland side. Really wasn't expecting a lot more I suppose. For the price and quantity of food I'd give it 3 plus stars, but for the overall taste I'm going to have to stick with a 2. read more

Like I've said before, it's kind of hard to screw up breakfast and this was a pretty decent to good breakfast. The scrambled eggs weren't fluffy enough for my taste, they were really flat and thin, weird. The pancakes were thick with a little crunch on the edges, just the way I love them. Yum! Coffee didn't need any cream, on account of being just a tad week. I will go again, due to the extremely low prices snd friendly service. Breakfast for two, with coffee -$13 read more

Just had dinner here with hubby and Dad. There is plenty of room in there and appears clean. They have the typical diner menu and you can play Keno at the same time! I had the club sandwich with fries and they were both very good. They were generous with the fries as well. Dad just had a salad and soup. He said had he known the ham and bean soup was that good, he would have gotten a bigger dish! The hubs had the 4 piece fried chicken with mashed potatoes. He got one scoop of potatoes and thought they should have given more. He said the chicken was okay but he is pretty picky. I enjoyed it and hope the hubs will want to go again. Our waitress was Natasha and she was spectacular! read more

Place sucks sat for fourty five minutes no service at all.been going there for 20 plus years never been this bad.

Affordable and delicious food. Will definitely be back. Staff was friendly and attentive.

Great service but we didn't care for the food, however we took it to go and that tended to steam it but, we probably wouldn't go back.

Fast friendly service and great pancake! We wanted to support local in the sea of chains. Glad we found it!

What a wonderful place to get some of the best food! I ordered their Shrimp Basket, hoping for some big tasty fried shrimp with good thick fries. Jimbo's did not disappoint! The basket was filled with six large butterflied shrimp and HOME MADE fries, freshly hand cut. It was very filling and had to actually take some of the shrimp home. The person I went with ordered their half pound burger and she substituted their homemade onion rings for an extra $2 added to the order. That is truly not a bad extra price for a menu substitution. The burger was big, well seasoned and the onion rings were out of this world, as delicious as Jim & Jennie's onion rings (which are the best in the City, in my humble opinion.) Their fried chicken or chicken tenders are homemade and are next on my list to try at Jimbo's, which made my mouth water. This is definitely going to be one of my favorite go-to restaurants. Everything looked homemade from scratch. At true gem of a place to eat! read more

Went last night with my family It wasn't busy I was getting a steak wanted eggs The kitchen wouldn't open a carton of egg beaters U can remodel the place but it's still the same Now I c y it wasn't busy People there r a lot of places to eat in Omaha That's not 1 of them read more

Food is great, waitstaff are nice prices are great. We were looking for Liver and onions when we Discovered Jimbos they were delicious and that pork tenderloin was actually the best I've ever had in my life, really good read more

If you like slovenly managers and snarky waitresses then this is the place for you! I'm

Excellent food, chicken fried steak is awesome (get the gravy on the side so the breading stays crunchy). Very peaceful atmosphere with great service. We have been there at least five times and have never had any problems! read more

Appears to be another keno hall---but it is so so good! Huge portions inexpensive and food is delish!!!!

Diners are diners and I think it's rare to find a diner that reaaaaaaally stands apart from the rest as an epic diner. Unfortunately, Jimbo didn't get my Jimbone aroused if you know what I mean. I have a co-worker that is a DIE HARD fan of Jimbo's diner and has been telling me to go here for years! Today was that day and it's not the best food I've ever had in the history of the world and it's not bad either. As an appetizer, my friend ordered fried chicken liver and it wasn't bad! It was a little greasy, but huge chucks of chicky insides not overpowered by the batter. The menu is pretty typical of a diner: breakfast foods, steaks, sandwiches, burgers, and even a small mexi selection if you're feeling a little AIYAIYAIYAI... you know. I did like that the fountain pop drinks (coke products) were 93 cents with free refills! Even for a diner that's pretty good! I ended up getting a Hambaagu.... what's a hambaagu you ask?!? Well, in Japan there are hambaagu restaurants and they basically serve large sized hamburger patties over a bed of rice with various toppings like shredded daikon, japanese curry, fried egg, etc. Anyway, it's bomb and they had something called Hamburger Steak which is exactly what a hambaagu is except with white people sides like mashed potatoes and corn. I asked them to make it as raw as possible because I like my meat ethio style yo!!! I thought it was pretty decent and I loved all the grilled onions on top. The gravy is very flavorful and the corn... well not much you can do to make corn magical other than add unicorn tears to it. The other people at the table got a club sandwich, steak sandwich, pork tenderloin, roast beef plate, and fried fish sandwich. I asked everyone's opinion and I got an average star rating of three, which is what I would give this place too. I didn't have any, but apparently the fries were a little greasy too. Of course, I asked about dessert because I didn't see it on the menu and our waitress Jimbette told us that usually some old lady comes by and gives them pies to sell, but they were only down to one slice... ummmmmmmmmmm.................... No dessert = Rude!!!! Just sayin... All in all, this is your typical diner. Cheap @ss food, keno in the background, father time and his friends sitting around a table chillin, nice but frank service, daily specials, you know... the usssss. The food seems decent but don't expect your tongue to be doing a happy dance in yo' mouf mmmkay! Oh and being in La Vista and all, there is a sign saying that you MUST be wearing a shirt WITH sleeves!!! So don't bring your WWE sleeveless Ts to the joint! read more

We decided to try and support a small business and it was our anniversary. Service was slow, multiple groups of people were served before the two of us, it took over a hour to get a breakfast plate. This place is full of older caucasian people. We are younger hispanic couple full of tattoos and I felt ignored. It just was not a place for people like us. Not welcomin. read more

This place was difficult for me to find. It's sign (as far as I know) isn't facing 84th street so I think they are missing out on some easy business. Jimbo's Diner shares a building with swizzle stix. Together the two businesses function as a large keno hall. This can be annoying when you're eating. Keno numbers are routinely called out over a large speaker. Onto the good stuff, this place looks like you'd expect a diner to took. Many customers eat at the counter, the tables and chairs are low end, and there's an outdated tile floor. To be clear, I love all of that. In my mind, that's how a diner should look and it's part of the charm. I ordered the chicken fried steak with two eggs and hashrowns. My food was excellent. Everything was cooked to perfection, the chicken fried steak was smothered in gravy and it was full of flavor. I'd give this place 5 stars, but the constant keno updates drive me crazy. However, if you're looking for a classic diner experience with flavorful greasy food then this place delivers. read more

Simple, cheap food. The staff may not be super fast, but they are very friendly, and get the job done. On Tuesdays, they have a surprisingly good steak dinner for under $7. read more

We had not been here in a while. The new social distancing requirements make going out to eat, a lot less enjoyable. We actually called our order in while sitting in their parking lot. It was simple as we know most of the menu items we like to eat there. The person on the phone was very friendly. We did not have to wait any longer than if we were sitting inside. Our order was correct, even though we asked for a couple alterations. It was very hot and fresh. They brought the food to our card window. We were thanked several times for choosing them to order food from. We understand how hard this has been for them. We went home to eat. One note, my wife's chicken gizzards were so hot, they melted the Styrofoam container. I had chicken strips with fries, and some BBQ sauce for dipping. The food was great, and we will be going back. read more

I ordered a "tender" hot beef! I got chewy rubber, I put it in the oven on low heat to get it tender and I said gravy on the side and it was covered in about 2 cups of gravy, before o scraped it off! read more

Love the place! Love the food, love the staff and really love playing Keno while I smash breakfast on a Sunday morning!

Food and service were pretty good. However, we did not realize that Jimbo's is actually a giant Keno Parlor. You hear the numbers called out all of the time! A strange atmosphere, not for everyone. read more

We are here at La Vista Keno for NYE. I ordered the prime rib special medium rare. My meal came well done. I sent it back. The waiter had the customer service skills of a 4 year old. He told me they had run out but he would check. After 15 mins I asked for an update and he said they were making another. 15 mins later I asked for an update. Fifteen minutes later I asked again for an update. The manager finally came over and apologize. I am having a Rueben....... it has been over an hour since the bad steak was placed in front of me. read more
