What a shame! Jimmys used to be a Miami staple and now just needs to close its doors before it continues to ruin other peoples memories like myself. We went in with high hopes and left highly disappointed. The once nostalgic atmosphere now feels drab and decaying. The idea that it's an old diner was great up until you start swatting away fruit flies as they continue to land in your coffee, you try not to slip on the leaking toilet and hope no one's watching from the holes in the walls of the bathroom. The food tastes the same but has gone up on price. There are a few old familiar faces but the main owner/boss does not seem friendly nor welcoming. Unfortunately they also had a few health violations that seem to also show the current status of the experience as well. Bye Bye Jimmys. read more

Jimmy's Eastside Diner - Bacon Cheese Burger De Lux - Diners Near Me - Miami, Florida

Jimmy's has been a Miami staple for decades with solid breakfast at very reasonable prices. Lisa was our server today and was the best server I ever had here. She was friendly, smiley, efficient and her service was caring and over-the-top. The restaurant was very crowded and her ability to provide such excellent service considering how busy they were was admirable. If only Miaml had more servers with such a great attitude and execution. She made my day. read more

Jimmy's Eastside Diner - Cheese, onions and spinach - Diners Near Me - Miami, Florida

What a hidden gem. Love the old diner feel. It's definatly in need of updates but the food is amazing. Its table service and you pay at the register is such a nostalgic feel. Reminds me of diners from up north. Everyone is very friendly. The food is typical diner food turkey club and breakfast items. read more

Seems like they have new owners bc today I went in and received the worst service ever after going to jimmys for years, even my Donald's service is better. Waitress tended to everyone in her section but us. Saw us sitting there with no menus nothing, had to ask another manager for menus and then another server to see who was ours. She finally came to table and said nothing but what we wanted. She kept tending to other tables and we still had no drinks, no silverware, nothing. After 20 mins there, we finally got coffee and no other drinks. We walked out. I told the manager the service is horrible and he looked at me like he didn't care at all. Such a disappointment to see one of Miami's special gems of a diner be ruined by incompetent and careless people. read more

Everything is so good here!! I travel over an hour to come eat lol. It is worth the drive

Service is always good. However, the kitchen just served me an old, dry turkey sandwich with undercooked fries and poor presentation. First time in over 20 years that the food was terrible. New kitchen, new ownership. For $26 it should be good. read more

Old school diner vibe. Closest thing to nyc or NJ diner. Best diner in Miami by far. Solid pricing for Miami.

I hesitated to update this review. But, I'm brutally honest and it needs to be done. I really cannot recommend this historic diner any longer. I have been a patron for decades. Literally. Since the 1980's. Up until the pandemic lockdown, it was a favorite breakfast or lunchtime spot. I was not alone. Early weekend mornings there would rarely be parking and often required waiting for a table. New owners bought Jimmy's in 2022. Today was my hopeful return. I was disappointed from the moment I arrived. At 10 am Today, (Sunday), my first return in 2 years, there was numerous parking spaces, empty tables, and no one at the bar. Bad sign. New ownership has done nothing to update the extremely aged interior. My seat bench was uncomfortable because of the distressed condition of the vinyl. Old and dilapidated decor is not nostalgic, it's stale. Same menu. But not really. Ordering a cheese omelette, I asked for Swiss. Apparently, Swiss cheese is no longer a menu option; only American or Feta. I was told the new owners cut back on the menu to save the money they are not putting into the diner. My omelette was dry and unseasoned. Not enjoyable. My dining companion ordered sunny side up eggs. They came out with completely uncooked whites swimming grotesquely in some kind of cooking oil or margarine. The second try was not better. Notably, the table next to ours also sent their eggs back to the kitchen. Additionally, a $7.00 upcharge for hash browns that were also lacking any finesse or seasoning. Sadly, food was inedible and uninspired. Ho hum, yuck. Servers are mostly the same, but historic smiles and fast feet are noticeably absent. The sense of purpose is observably missing. It appears they do not enjoy working for the new owners. And, service seemed disorganized. We seated ourselves. 5 minutes passed before place settings. No one took drink orders until the cashier came over 10 minutes after sitting. Water arrived 5 minutes later. Our Order was not taken until another 5 minutes dragged by. No urgency. No one waiting for the booth. Disheartening. Not recommended. Summary: Absent ambiance. Lackluster service. Barely adequate food. No price bargain. Unless the owners renovate the diner interior, improve food quality, and restore passion to its service, I'll never return. Talking to other locals, none were surprised, they had the same recent experience. End of an era. Knowing Miami, I won't be surprised when I see a high rise condo go up on the property next year. Tragic. read more

Breakfast was delicious, coffee is really good too. I always forget to take photos lol. But highly recommend this place. The only issue ( but minor ) is the parking. The place was so packed there was no parking and I had to park in the street. Everything else was great. read more

While the girls left the house early this morning to dress up and put on some makeup, Pops and I decided to grab breakfast at Jimmy's Eastside Diner! Going in, the restaurant was jumping, but there was still a good amount of seating. For breakfast, we ordered 1 set of scrambled eggs with country smoked sausage, home fries, and rye toast & 1 plate of over easy eggs, bacon, home fries, and white toast! Going into my review, no complaints here, everything was perfect! The scrambled eggs were very custardy, sausage had a nice sear, potatoes were well seasoned & crispy. The bacon was not too crispy nor chewy! Toast was toasted and nicely spread in n butter. Moreover, the service this morning was friendly and attentive. Overall, if you're looking for a solid breakfast spot with a good variety of menu options, Jimmy's Eastside Diner gotcha covered. Final verdict 5/5 - nice job! read more

We haven't been here since before Covid. It was good to be back. The same staff were there, and they were as attentive as always. The owners are always friendly and welcoming. We were there today for a late breakfast/ lunch. Being a Tuesday , it was on the slow side, and not many people were there. It was also an hour before they closed at 3:00 pm. I ordered my fave, eggs with Miami ham steak, and my daughter had the tuna melt with fries. My hashbrowns were overcooked and kind of dried out, but the ham steak and eggs were good! The Tuna Melt wasn't that good per my daughter. It could've been an off day for them It happens. Service was quick and attentive. Parking was available right in front of the restaurant. They have a big lot for parking, including wheelchair accessibility. read more

We really enjoyed the food here. Excellent service and great breakfast. We mainly came for the hash browns and they did not disappoint. This place was packed solid and I can see why. If you want that old diner feel with yummy food, try this joint. read more

This place has changed and not for the good. My food today was downright awful and cold and unseasoned. My eggs were dry and the cheese was mot melted. I had a stomach ache after dining. Way overpriced for the quality to have gone down. This place used to be amazing and is under new ownership. It used to have amazing food but today was it for me. So sad to see the food quality change. read more

Classic Miami diner that's been around longer than I've been alive! I came on a Sunday morning around 11 AM and there was a 5-10 minute wait but the parking lot was jam packed! They have lunch and breakfast options for your sweet or savory tooth. As a vegetarian, there isn't much you can order so I went with the feta, spinach and onion omelette that was gigantic and came with hash browns and toast. The hashbrowns were to die for!!! This is definitely a classic diner for your Sunday scaries! read more

Jimmy's is a great classic diner. My favorite is the corn beef hash, but most of the food is solid. They have a lot of affordable items for kids. My son gets the chicken noodle soup and a side of bacon (weird combo, but he likes it). The omelettes are good too, I love the spinach and feta one. If you want an old school meal, with big portions and decent prices Jimmy's is the perfect spot. The parking is a bit limited so getting there earlier is always best. read more

I didn't know such cute old diner was near my house so it was a great surprise. It's not like those fancy instagramy brunch places popping up all over Miami, which was the reason I liked it more. The food was matching the value and the service was AMAZING. Everyone felt like family. read more

Down home diner. No frills and thrills. Booth bench could definitely stand to be re-done instead of using tape. Nice size pancakes. Nothing fancy, but food was correct and arrived quickly. read more

Bad. Nice waitresses but im spite of new owners, greasy and not good. Big portions though ;)

Great place for breakfast! We were seated about 10 minutes after we arrived and our server was very friendly. She brought water and coffee while we looked at the menu. The ambiance is very casual and relaxed. I ordered the eggs Benedict with hash browns and it was delicious. The rest of the entrees looked good too. I'd definitely recommend this place for breakfast or lunch. read more

Loved it! From the service down to the waffles and hashbrowns! It is very quiet when you walk in.

Bad. Really Bad. Gives off the allusion of a low brow diner that would have great food at good cost. No way. Horrible food, and the cost is not cheap. Burger, soup, coke, tip = $40. Take this review seriously, go anywhere else. Even McDonald's is a five star restaurant compared to here. ALSO any reviews you see, as I have that this place is a "miami staple", or "old school diner", or "hidden gem" clearly are friends of the establishment or completely insane and think fine dining is a box of Cheerios. Trust me. Stay away. read more

Food was ok nothing special. Our server was so slow , I am just never going again. Didn't enjoy

The price you pay does not match the quality of the food that you're getting. I mean, a simple breakfast platter with a cup of coffee is gonna cost you like $25+ dollars. The food is nothing special. The seats are absolutely falling apart. For a place that advertises itself as a neighborhood/family diner, the prices are like going to some Miami brunch spot with a live DJ downtown. I mean, look at the menu. A grilled cheese sandwich costs $14.95, not including taxes and fees and tip. Lol. A GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH. FIFTEEN DOLLARS. Eggs, bacon, and 2 pancakes...fifteen dollars. Doesn't even come with hash browns and toast. Maybe I'm just being John Travolta from that scene in Pulp Fiction with the milkshake, but at least he got a good milkshake out of it. read more
