I was very hungry because I blasted out of the house without breakfast to make an in-person meeting. After it was over, I drove past Jimmy's Egg and decided to stop in. I like this place. The staff is particularly attentive when you first arrive. They make sure no one is left standing around waiting to be seated. I was seated in under a minute after walking through the door. It literally took about 10 seconds. I saw this happen over and over again while I was eating my meal. All arriving customers looked either pleased or relieved to be acknowledged immediately. I've been here before. The coffee is still very good. The place still looks clean. The windows are big and bright. The lively classic songs from the 50's and 60's keep cycling along. The management clearly knows its clientele which tends to be older. I think the Eggs Benedict served here are made perfectly. They're not cheap since complete breakfasts run about $15 not including coffee. But they serve up meals fast which was exactly the speed I was looking for since I missed breakfast. The reason why this visit was rated a 4 instead of a 5 had to do with the corn beef hash that I ordered as part of the Irish Eggs Benedict. It wasn't totally inedible but it was overcooked and a bit dry so it wasn't very flavorful. Depending on the size of the flame used it was perhaps a minute or two away from being burned. I didn't complain. I didn't want to send it back. I wasn't looking to make a fuss. There was a lot of it so I ate about half and figured I would take the rest home and try to improve upon it when I reheat it. What I didn't realize until I got the check was that I had been charged an additional $4.99 for the mediocre corn beef hash. My server, who was very nice, didn't come back. I didn't really understand what happened with the billing until later. I think I received an extra side of hash even though it already came with the meal. I paid the bill. I gave the server a 20% tip. I will come back but I will never order that dish again. read more

Jimmy Eggs is great. I usually enjoy mom and pop businesses but this one i like because food is good but you have many sides to pick from. Sometimes I do the fruit and less carb items so.... many choices. Service is usually very good. Today I went to enjoy my belated birthday deal, got $14 toward my meal. Did I forget to mention their coffee is always very good. read more

Jimmy's Eggs on Western Ave is absolutely amazing. We went for breakfast and arrived 45 minutes before close, the staff were all smiles, happily waiting on tables cleaning and getting ready to end the day, but nothing felt rushed. My pancakes were absolutely perfect, fluffy, buttery and the perfect amount of blueberries folded in. I also want to mention that the lighting and decor are just so bright and inviting. read more

GREAT breakfast spot with lots of choices. The hash is fantastic. Eggs cooked perfectly, fast, friendly service! Our server was so nice and didn't miss a beat. There were five of us. We didn't need to ask for anything! I should mention that the bacon is meaty and you can order it by the slice! Everyone loved their breakfast! It's very bright and clean. This will definitely be a regular stop! read more

We recently had a group lunch order for pickup, and it was my first time trying Jimmy's. I was overall pleased with my lunch which was their Very Veggie Omelette with a mini stack pancakes and grits. What would have made this a 5-star experience is a bigger, fluffier omelette, and the spinach and mushroom omelette from IHOP comes to mind as an example of a good veggie omelette. The cutlery and condiments, including syrup and ketchup, were appreciated although I am mindful of the impact of disposable plastic ware on our environment. I hope they continue to improve and do well. read more

Not sure why this place doesn't have five stars from everyone. Just visiting from Florida and stubbled upon this place. So clean inside. Definitely a good sign. The waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable. Another good sign. We ordered the eggs benedict. I got the hash browns. Asked for well done and they came out perfectly. Eggs were so delicious again cooked perfectly. The sauce is so yummy. I actually brought one to my mom who's in rehab. She loved it too. Definitely give it a try. Take a look at the picture. Never wanted for anything and my coffee remained full. I wish they had one of these in Florida. Haha. read more

Breakfast was great this morning and the service was even better, Thank you K for an amazing experience!!

No frills breakfast joint. The service was great - our waitress was very nice. We had the eggs Benedict, which had good flavor. The hash browns were decent, though one serving wasn't the hottest. They have a loyalty program which gives you a short stack for signing up. For those interested (and eligible) they also have an over 55 menu - which my mom loved. We'd come back for a quick, affordable breakfast. read more

Service at this establishment was so amazing and welcoming. Our waitress was so quick attending to us and super friendly. We received our drink in about 5 minutes, I ordered a caramel ice coffee and husband an orange juice. Then on to the food I ordered berry waffle, eggs and it was so good and flavorful. The price was very cheap for two people it was $37.38. I definitely want to go back again. read more

Nothing fancy is happening here ambiance wise, but every time we have come it has been solid breakfast food. We tried the club sandwich this visit and it was definitely more of a star than the eggs Benedict, but both were satisfying. Service was excellent, quick to check in on us and refill coffee. Only complaint was our side items. The fries with the sandwich were good, but only a few on the plate which felt very sparse. The home fries that came with the Benedict seemed undercooked and under seasoned. That being said both main items were very good, which is more important for the meal experience. We love the pricing and ease of coming here for weekend breakfast, we will definitely be back! read more

I find it interesting that the majority of Yelpers who give poor ratings about how horrible the food is provide no photos. Show us how bad it is if you're going to say it's bad. For us, the service and food were both quite good. This was our first visit to Jimmy's Egg and we were impressed with the menu and all they offer. One nice thing about their breakfast dishes is that you can choose your side - they don't automatically give you bread and potatoes. What a nice change! We did start with a cappuccino which was more of a latte - it seems our server didn't quite know the difference or how to make one. For our meals, we chose the Classic Benedict and the Biscuit & Gravy Omelette. The eggs in the benny were perfect. In fact, I heard someone in the kitchen say, 'keep your eye on the benny' and the response was that there were 20 seconds left. Seems they have a plan in place for making poached eggs. While another Yelper here said they disliked the hollandaise sauce, we found it to be good and tasted as it should. The B&G omelette was good but I have to admit, I probably wouldn't order it again. I choose it because, for the price, it offered an omelette with ham, sausage, bacon, and cheese and included a B&G along with two sides. The B&G is served on top of/or in the omelette which I found odd. Next time I'll opt for the Biscuits Gone Wild which offers the same as the omelette for $1 cheaper and just one side. The bacon is described as slow-smoked. It definitely is smoked. I guess I haven't had smoked bacon before...not my favorite for a morning meal. It seems the restaurant chain has a few locations in the South which helps explain why they offer sausage gravy dishes and cheesy grits - both are two of our favorites. The restaurant was clean. It was not loud (as another Yelper complained about) and our server was quite pleasant. read more

I have reviewed this restaurant before and didn't give it very high marks ..that was before my wife and I have eaten there several times lately and they have improved their cooking methods food looks good and tastes better I am happy to give them a much higher score. Good job guys read more

Have made Jimmy's a favorite breakfast location. Eggs are excellent, a major difference in eggs! Fresh fruit, pancakes made to order. Service is excellent, waitress very friendly. Ver clean and inviting. read more

My wife and I had been passing this relatively new restaurant since they opened. We decided to give them a try. They have a fairly comprehensive breakfast menu. The food was prepared very well and they did a good job following our special requests. The service was prompt and extremely friendly. There is not a lot of ambiance but this restaurant is certainly worth a try if you are looking for a decent little breakfast place. They did try to follow social distancing requirements by sitting folks every other booth where possible. Certainly worth supporting this local business. read more

I have been here maybe a dozen times since it is close to my work. Their club sandwich (served cold) is always outstanding. Their breakfast is ok not great, we found a different diner that we prefer. My wife no longer wants to come here because she prefers some place else. I stopped in this morning because it is close to where I work and i wanted country fried steak. The service is always pretty good, the food is decent, not great. I also recommend the breakfast tacos and the conquistador omellete if you like tex mex. read more

My wife and I have patronized JE 6-7 times now, specifically for breakfast. Please note - we have not eaten lunch there. With that disclaimer aside, JE has good quality food and excellent service. The place is very clean, open and well lit. The Bathrooms are very clean. JE is a Denny's albeit with a smaller menu. The prices are similiar for both Dennys and Jimmy's Egg. The food quality is also the same. The big negative for us is the small portion sizes at Jimmy's Egg. For what you are being charged, the portions are underwhelming. This morning we stopped by for breakfast. My wife ordered the Pancake Deluxe, and I had the Meat Lovers Skillet. The pancake order came with two pancakes, bacon and sausage. Three pancakes would have rendered the order minimally satisfactory for the price. My meat lovers skillet was laughably small. I thought the server had brough me something from the kids menu. I looked around the numerous tables and soon discovered that my skillet was the standard size. So tasty yet so sad. So in my humble opinion, if you like the Dennys and Jimmy's Egg business model, at least for breakfast, you get much more value for your dollar at Dennys. Thanks for reading. read more

Large, clean, bright interior, all booths plus some counter stools. Large varied menu is much more focused on eggs (no surprise) than baked goods though pancakes and belgian waffles are available. The Benidict I had was very good. Service was quick, friendly, and efficient. Lunch items available too. I will be back. read more

I was interested to try this place. My favorite restaurant of this type is, far and away, Waffle House, a restaurant that the Northern U.S., let alone upState, New York, will never get. I was hoping that Jimmy's would be similar. Unfortunately, Jimmy's is no nowhere near close to Waffle House or even the greasiest of greasy-spoon truck stops, except maybe for service and production workflow. The place is brand new and clean. The service is extremely attentive and responsive. However, the food is well below par. I ordered eggs benedict; my wife ordered bog-standard eggs. The hollandaise sauce is thick and starchy, as if made from a box mix - very salt with no butter/lemon flavor. The ham is sliced deli sandwich meat. I ordered sausage links, too. They are the 9 millimeter diameter, extruded, small doggy turds type. The "English" muffin is thin - weird. Overall, extremely salty with weird flavors. The fried potatoes next to the eggs were raw-hard. The waiter adjusted the bill. The photos of the turkey club sandwich don't look spec. The Capital City diner 1/4 mile down Western Avenue has nothing to worry about. The McDonald's Egg McMuffin is perfection compared to this plate of yuk. For the price, the now 50 year-old Egg McMuffin IS perfection. read more

The bacon was pre-cooked and not warm. Hash browns were raw. They did not have real maple syrup. Waffles tasted like bisquick. Poached egg was hard boiled. Service was ok. Go to Madison Cafe. read more

Getting a reward for signing up gave me the incentive to go to Jimmy's Egg again. My first visit was for lunch and I liked my Cuban sandwich. Now I came back to try the eggs. I ordered a western omelet and tried to order a small stack of pancakes, but our server could only find mini pancakes on her tablet. Our waitress did say this was only her second weekend working and she seemed frazzled. All in all, our meals were just ok, nothing to brag about. My wife had an egg white omelet with grits and son had pancakes and scrambled eggs. Both thought their meals were ok. With many breakfast options in the capital district this will be a go to when others are busy. read more

Disgusting food and it smells weird as soon as you walk in, it was my first time here and definitely my last. I got a simple avocado toast with a fruit bowl on side. Most of the avocado was brown and I had to scrape it off. The fruit wasn't even fresh it was nearly molding and didn't taste or look right at all. The server didn't make anything any better, she was very slow and barely came to check up on our table. I was very displeased with everything. Not to mention it's expensive for the shitty quality food you get. Definitely do not recommend coming here, it's no wonder I've never heard of this restaurant! What a joke. read more

Just ok for dining in. Very disappointed when we ordered a to go combo for our son and asked specifically for the food to be put in separate containers so they wouldn't mix. They clearly forgot and instead of re-doing the order they unboxed the food, revised it and didn't mention anything. I'm guessing some of it went missing when they did this as there was hardly any hash, the eggs had potatoes in them and there was bacon bits on the pancakes. Don't get to go. Not worth it. I just wished they acknowledged the mistake at the restaurant so I didn't get home with crap for food. At least the dog enjoyed some of it. read more

The food was ok, our server CRYSTAL looked dirty. She was not friendly. She had greasy hair and acne all over her face. She was constantly wiping her face and then touching things. Her clothes looked dirty, like they were wrinkled up out of a pile in her slums. She smelled like dirty privates. Would not recommend. Ruined our meal. She looks like she does not belong serving food let alone working around food. 0/10 read more

Server crystal is the bomb. She always knows what we want to drink. Makes sure our food is the way we like it. Just overall a sweetheart.

I have had breakfast here a couple times and my experience is mixed. First, the interior setup is spacious and clean. The wait staff are polite and responsive. As for the food, the quality, portion size and the price are acceptable and average. The last time I had ordered the pancakes, sausage and eggs. The pancakes were actually pretty good. The sausage patty was average and the eggs (scrambled) were awful - flat and watery. So, I feel that I could have prepared a better meal at home, honestly. But, I would return if I want to have someone fix breakfast for me and hope the cook is better at preparing scrambled eggs. read more

I went there last Saturday and my waitress Crystal was rude, and pushy and said my tip was horrible. I will Not be going again. Never in my life have I been so insulated. I'm not rich and I gave what I could. So much for trying to do something. read more

The food was good, I did an online order, I never got notified when it was ready so it got cold before I got to eat it. The home fries were amazing I just wished they had put salt/ketchup etc in the bag since it was a to go order. I would try them again. read more

Jimmy's Egg is a fantastic spot to grab breakfast on any weekday or even a busy weekend with lots of seating. Food is really good and I love having options for your sides instead of just toast and home fries like everywhere else. The Guilderland location is my favorite. Clean and new looking. read more

Pretty yummy food with a modern style diner feel. We ordered the "skillet" and it was pretty good. Thought it would actually be in a skillet but nonetheless it tastes delicious! Waitress was very friendly & bottomless coffee makes for a pretty great experience! read more

Holy crap! That place was so cold we left without ordering! Everyone looked miserable in there unless they were sporting a parka! Yikes!

The meals in which we ordered were good not outstanding but savory. The actual experience was less than appealing, music so loud people needed to raise their voices to be heard speaking to members of their own party. But to make the experience even more unfavorable I had ordered raisin bread toast, understandably they ran out....but I was not even asked what else I would like, the waitress choose for me. Sorry but white bread is not even a second choice. read more

THE WORST MEAL IVE EVER HAD! My husband got a burger and curly fries. Clearly the patty was frozen not fresh and the curly fries were what I buy from Walmart. Disappointing. My son got scrambled eggs, fruit, turkey sausage Pattie's and home fries. The home fries and turkey sausage tasted freezer burnt. I ordered a turkey sausage, pepper and onion omelette with American cheese. Let's start off with the cheese. It was melted on the top of the omelette as much as it could be because it was the fake sliced cheese that you guy at Walmart that comes individually wrapped. I don't eat pork. My first bite I tasted pork. I spit it out into my napkin and the meat was pink. Turkey sausage is not pink.... I took another piece out of my omelette and gave it to my husband to try and he said yes, that's pork. It was bacon. I told the waitress that there was pork in my omelette l, she apologized and took it back to the kitchen. At this point the owner sends the waitress back out to me with my plate and a small bowl of pork sausage that is crumbled up and says "the owner wanted me to tell you that there is not pork sausage in your omelette because this is what our pork sausage looks like" and she shows me the bowl. I told her that I do not eat pork and I know that there was pork in my omelette. She goes back to the kitchen, here comes the owner carrying my plate and the same bowl of crumbled pork sausage and says the same thing to me that the waitress had said. I said okay, we'll it's not pork sausage it's bacon. She said from what I can see (pointing to my plate in her hand that I had sent back) there isn't any more pieces in here. I didn't respond, just looked at her. She proceeds to tell me "everything is made on the same grill and there's always a chance of cross contamination do you understand that?" Like I was some kind of idiot. I said please bring me an omelette with just peppers onions and cheese. She had the worst attitude. She was so combative, I have never had that kind of experience with an owner of a restaurant. She had such an attitude when she walked away that she walked into a tray of cups that were on a cart. After she left the table next to us told us how ridiculous the whole situation was and that it was not appropriate the way the owner handled the situation. The food was absolutely horrible. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS ESTABLISHMENT. read more

The restaurant and food itself was good, but the service was so bad, in particular a waitress named Fallon. It's as if she didn't want to serve us. We felt rushed. Unfriendly and unwelcoming and abrupt attitude. We had to ask for an extra set of silverware and for toast. read more
