Wife had the lamb chops for breakfast. I heard how awesome they were for 3dats. Must have been good) I had steak & eggs. Very tasty. Done perfect Check them out, they know how to do it right at JIMMYS PLACE read more

Today was my 5th time here the food is usually pretty good food and pretty good experience. Today not so much. As bad as the food was (The waitress was even worse). I ordered the Cuban the entire things was so greasy. I still have no idea what one of the meats was but super greasy burnt. Worst thing ever, I could only eat 1/2 of one side seriously it was turning my stomach. I had to stop eating it. Even worse than the food was the so called waitress she was rude never smiled the entire time she looked pissed off. She had such an attitude. I had to keep asking the other waitress to help me with Items that I needed. I had already told the male waiter that it was 2 checks when this waitress brought 1 check I said I had asked for 2. This woman snatched the check out of my friends hand and went and got 2 checks and kind of slapped it on the table. When you work with the public you should have a happy and upbeat attitude no matter what is going on. What I don't understand I have been coming across a lot of waiters/waitess's with this same pissy attitude. They always want a tip. I want to write my tip, my friend will not allow me to do it. "Here is my tip for you. Lose the attitude or find another job this one is not for you". Do these people not understand they would get better tips if they lost the attitude. This woman at first was upsetting me but when it came to the check no lie she pissed me off. I gave the original Pissy waitress's tip to the other waitress, since she helped me more than the original waitress. My friend said he would never go back he did not like his food and he definitely did not like the waitress and her attitude. read more

Been coming here almost every monday for a year, great place and great service. Recently the service has slipped a lot, what one server used to do well, is now being done poorly by two. read more

I have been there on Sunday's for breakfast with my friends (groups of 5-7) and we have enjoyed every time we go.. They have good food, the service is great and it is always clean.. not a fancy place.. but very welcoming. read more

I feel awkward and hesitate saying this because my visit to Jimmy's Place was with a group but after stopping in for lunch, I believe that I can speak for all six of us. Jimmy's Place is the overall best restaurant in the area. We were engulfed in reading Jimmy's menu and when asked for her opinion our waitress whose name tag reads Robin spoke directly to each of us. She is nice, really nice and very hospitable too. If you can't do so today, make your visit to Jimmy's Place soon. The food is fabulous. Even better, you won't waist your money!!!! read more

Maybe JIMMY's was having a bad day, I don't know. But I stopped in there this morning for breakfast and decided to give them a try. (I usually eat at Golden Bear up the street.) I was very disappointed to say the least...... Bacon was dripping with grease. The biscuit and gravy were horrible. I couldn't eat it. I was afraid I was going to get food poisoning with the peculiar taste of the lumpy gravy and the biscuit was flat and hard as a rock. I couldn't even cut it with my fork. I took one bite and set it aside. My water smelled and taste like strong chemicals. The coffee was really good. Eggs were scrambled like I ordered them. Hashbrowns tasted like the grease off the grill. Waitress was quick and friendly. The atmosphere was cute the way they had it decorated. I really wish they would not start mopping floors while the customers are still in there! The mop bucket smelled so strong of cleaning solution that I could barely get my breath!! I paid my check of $13.50 left the waitress a nice tip and got the heck out of there while I could still breathe. It was not a good experience. I usually don't write derogatory reviews, but I was hungry and left very unhappy. read more

This place has changed names a few times. Not sure if it is the same owner just trying to find one that works but the cook does not seem to be the same one as the last time we visited. Either way this place has good lunch selections, breakfast all day and lots of comfort food. It was nice so we say outside to enjoy the weather. We started with the chicken noodle soup. Pretty tasty. I did add some salt but still a solid soup. For my lunch I got the Ham & Cheese club. Very tasty and fresh. been craving a cold sandwich and this hit the spot. Deb had the Roast beef club. She said it was OK but though the roast beef was not that great. only had half. The fries were really good. Lightly breaded and cooked just right. Still a pretty good spot for some comfort food but I think the last place was a little better. read more

Food tastes like they don't care. Portion size is terrible. Biscuits and gravy is awful too. Their gravy doesn't taste like gravy.

This is a community staple of good food, friendly service and always a smile and convo. Yes, it has gone through hands but it's current owner is working the scene to bring food, family, friends and good times together. read more

Just OK Largo has at least 15 diners that specialize in breakfast and lunch. So just OK isn't enough. Jimmy's atmosphere is pleasant. Service is adequate at best. Prices are fair. And, most importantly, the food is just OK. The scrambled eggs were good. The ham was spongy and needed to be seared on the grill better. The bacon was fine. The grits were poor--mushy texture and absolutely flavorless. The French toast had a soggy interior. Nearby, Club House or Golden Bear do a much better job. Sorry, Jimmy. read more

The three breakfasts we had at Jimmy's were fabulous! Excellent food, reasonably priced. our waitresses Robin was soooooo friendly and accommodating. Shes also VERY pretty! Highly recommended. read more

We were regulars at the TIN CAN in Clearwater. JIm sold the business last year and now opened a new location. Same great food, larger, brighter place. Jim, Pam and Nicole are all still there. This place is awesome and you need to go try it out. Huge portions. The steak and eggs or Pork chop Bone In and eggs are excellent! Skillets are HUGE! Try the Pork medallions. They are the best! Unbelievable Steak and Egg Special! The tuna salad is the best around and the service is great. The menu is huge and there are also many Board Specials posted each day. Don't read the reviews posted from last year. They are for the previous restaurants at this location. The place turned over a number of times. It is not in a downtown area so traffic on Starkey can easily miss this place. It is in a strip mall on the North bound side of Starkey just North of Bardmore and before the Bowling Alley. Once people find out about this place it will be packed every day just like their old place, The Tin Can in Clearwater. This place has NEW ownership and is really fantastic! read more

My rating is on food only as I used Uber Eats so I cannot rate on facility appearance, cleanliness, or customer service. I was feeling particularly lazy this morning after working on my day off yesterday then waking up late this morning. I didn't feel like cooking or getting out of pjs so I decided to search online for a small business restaurant and came upon this one. I've been going to the Golden Bear for over a decade and I never knew about this place so decided to give it a go. The delivery driver communicated with me that the order was running a little behind which if it was ready that fast I wouldn't of expected good food. My food was delivered within the expected window looking fresh and ready to eat. The prices were pretty average for what we ordered. $18 and change was the total. Our order consisted of the Florentine Benedict with home fries and Shrimp Omelette with home fries and white toast. The Benedict was flawless and still hot on arrival. The home fries were good. I do like mine with a slight crunchy burnt taste to them but they came out the way most (my mom) prefer. Nicely cooked and soft. The omelette was good. To be fair I have a favorite at a restaurant that I've been going to for two decades so I try not to compare. This omelette was filled with large chunks of veggies so for me that gets an extra plus! I definitely love a generous amount of veggies!! Overall both meals were pleasing and Fulfilling. Hit the spot while eating in pjs and being lazy. I will definitely put this place on my small business. home cooking, list for the future and would recommend. read more

Formerly called the Largo Family Diner, Jimmy's Place offers a very similar menu. The place changed ownership about five months ago, and the new owner has many years of restaurant experience. I tried the biscuits and gravy - based on a recommendation from one of their waitresses a few weeks back - and it was just average. It tasted like the same biscuits and gravy you get at any number of breakfast spots. The cook told me the biscuits had just come out of the oven, so naturally, I'm expecting biscuits made from scratch. Then the server ( the owner ) told me they're Pillsbury biscuits. I can make those at home. So, just 4 stars since the place is clean, the service is good, the owner is friendly, and the place has retained its neighborly atmosphere. So I'm still in search for biscuits and gravy made from scratch. read more

Great service and clean but the breakfast was marginal. Ask for bacon and eggs and crispy hashbrowns. The bacon had been cooked hours before because it was dried out. The hashbrowns were delivered in kind of a sloppy uncooked mess, far from crispy hashbrowns. read more

The staff was so welcoming! Very warm hearted! And the food was even better! Everything was so fresh! Such large portions for the price! read more

The food was very good. The staff was stellar. They where short a sever and it the first k a couple xtra minutes but she let us know and was attentive. I had the eggs Benedict with steak. Next time I'll just get the regular and the steak wasn't that great but let's talk about the homemade hollandaise sauce. It was so amazing. And the chunked potato's wher fresh and wonderful. My son had eggs and pancakes (he is a adult) and it was fresh and perfect. read more

Checked this place out with my gf and kiddos this past Saturday. The host didn't seem too friendly as she didn't even look at us and didn't seem very attentive as people Walked through the door. I don't remember what her name was. But our server was very sweet. She was busy but super attentive. Our kiddos had the Mickey pancakes and my gf and I enjoyed our meals as well. Get the potatoes they are delicious! read more

Terrific service and delicious food. Staff is pleasant. Restaurant is clean. Menu items are priced well.

This is the third time I've written a review for a restaurant in the same location. I know why the other restaurants closed because the food was not up to par really. Ambrosia restaurant seems like a very busy place on a Saturday but that's about it. During the week when I drive-by there is hardly any cars here at anytime of the day, I question how long they can continue being open with only a good Saturday business. Their menu was quite large as far as breakfasts go, the lunch and breakfast menu are regular fair that you would normally find at a mom-and-pop restaurant. Today I was here for breakfast and I had one of their breakfast burritos. It really was very good, scrambled eggs and peppers and onions sausage and jalapenos overstuffed really. The home fries were sliced very small almost Julian style and we're okay. I think in this day and age in the mom-and-pop restaurant business, you really have to have something special to stand out to be successful. I hope ambrosia can find their niche. read more

Absolutely horrible!! This was my first and will be my last time trying this place. I ordered delivery through Bite Squad and received grits that were rancid.

Not only did I fund my favorite waitress in the entire area. . . But, found a wonderful place for breakfast or lunch! This place is not found yet by many, but is a real treasure. Their weekday call-in & delivery orders keep them busy. The menu is plentiful and has good variety with a mediterranean touch throughout. The omelete with fresh spinach was delicious and the eggs benadict the other day hit the spot. They have Daoly Specials. Did I memtion "creat your own Crepes? They have homade bread, and if they have some dessert they just baked - try it!! Fresh donuts today!! FANTASTIC! They take great care to create good food. You'll find service like this nowhere else around. Karena makes you feel so good and at home. You're always taken care of. read more

Update May 2018. Ambrosia has new ownership now, and quality has suffered. Now three stars. What a shame. We won't be back. Original review from 2016: Five stars. Very nice selection of food to fit every taste. They will customize any menu item, very accommodating to those, like me, with diet restrictions. I've had many different selections and all were cooked to perfection. The only item that was only adequate, in my opinion, are the home fries - not crispy enough for my taste. But, my husband loves them so maybe that's just me. They DO offer the very best omelette around. The best points for me are: Authentic, friendly service. Very fresh ingredients. Willing to customize. Excellent chef. Diverse menu. And charming chicken decor (hey, I was raised on a farm.) I started coming here after my old regular breakfast place started serving pre cooked reheated omelettes and was very delightfully surprised. I am now a regular. read more

Our favorite breakfast place. Tried their special "Huervos Ranchero " , best breakfast I've had in a long time.

I haven't been there for a few months and normally the food and service are both very good. However, when I went this week they messed up one order by putting the sandwich on a bun instead of toasted rye bread. Plus, the Cobb salad was not as listed on the menu-- only had chicken, lettuce, tomato, and a piece of crumbled bacon. The missing items that were on the menu- cheese, avocado, and egg. read more

Great breakfast place with quality products clean and very friendly . Service was excellent

We love to try new breakfast places, so when we stumbled across this one we just had to stop. The parking lot was totally full, so that's the first good sign. I think we may have been greeted at the door by the owner, and she was lovely and friendly. We were seated and the room was very crowded and people seemed to be enjoying full looking plates of breakfast food. We waited nearly 10 minutes for our order to be taken, although our drink order had been taken and delivered right away. My husband ordered the crows nest which was layers of eggs, potatoes, meat, cheese, and gravy. He said it was delicious, and I got the Gyro omelette which was not. It was extremely overcooked eggs with meat mixed in. No onion or anything to make up for the dry toughness of those eggs. Overall not a bad place to grab a weekend breakfast, but we are still looking for our brunchiness nirvana read more
