Wondering where to go for a big post-colonoscopy breakfast? I went to Jimmy's Egg. It was our initial visit and we were not disappointed. The big cinnamon roll pancake looked tempting, but I went with the meat lovers omelette with wheat pancakes and biscuits and gravy. Great meal with some left over for lunch. Susie kept my coffee cup full and even sent me home with a large cup. The only thing that was a little "off" was the pancake syrup. Susie said it was just Aunt Jemima out of the bottle, but didn't quite do it for me. Everything else was great! read more

Jimmy's Egg - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

See all

This place is very popular on the weekends and there's usually a line out the door. But my recent visit was on a Wednesday morning. About half the tables were taken. My server was very friendly and kept my coffee filled. The food was good. There was more on the plate than I could eat. I spent about $11 before tip which is pretty good for a sit-down breakfast. read more

Jimmy's Egg - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Man, what a letdown! It's not that I had really high expectations. I just thought "hey, here's a breakfast place, it oughta be at least as good as any of the usual little breakfast places I walk into randomly." Wrong. I just read another review where someone said it wasn't better than Village Inn or Perkins. I thought it would be. I was prepared in case it was about the same. I didn't really expect it to be worse, especially with that line out the door. What on earth are people lining up at this place for? Let's start with the grits: bad. Watery instant grits. I've had Quaker instant grits at home that topped this junk by a mile. Add to that the chewy, flavorless bacon that tastes very much like it was cooked a long time ago in another state. And the pancakes: I've had better just about everywhere. The biscuits and gravy weren't terrible, but they tasted like they came from a grocer's freezer section. So that leaves the Egg that's in the name. I ordered an omelet. Green chiles, tomato, green onion, cheddar. I make these at home regularly, and they're delicious. What I get here is a dry, flavorless mass rolled around imitation cheese. It's not like any real cheddar I've ever had before; rather it's that rubbery dry stuff you often see in bottom-of-the-barrel fast food joints. I ate less than a third of it. So when the server comes and sees most of my omelet untouched, she grabs the plate and asks, "Had enough?' Hell yes, I've had enough. If that's what Jimmy's Egg tastes like, he can keep his freaking egg. She must know better than to ask how everything tasted; those words never passed her lips. All in all, both Perkins and Village Inn serve a better breakfast, and you can get much better food, and a good bit more for the price, at Cracker Barrel or any of the many old-fashioned breakfast/lunch joints in town. "Good food for a reasonable price" my arse. I went back and forth on one or two stars, but settled on one, as "methinks not" pretty much describes it. No second chances for Jimmy. If I wanted food out of a box, I'd just buy it at the grocer. read more

Today my mouth experienced heaven. I was craving a good ol' greasy breakfast and I got just that. I got the jimmy breakfast meal thing I believe which included eggs bacon hash browns and biscuits and gravy. The eggs were cooked utterly perfect, the bacon was super thick and perfectly cooked and the hash browns were the perfect amount of crisp and were so buttery and fluffy. The gravy was thick and delicious and biscuits fluffy and yummy. My stomach is so full and happy and I will for sure put this place on my short list of places to get food. The food was just cooked so perfectly and so yummy. what a real breakfast (or lunch in my case) should be :) read more

Jimmy's Egg - Yum.. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Who's Jimmy and what does he have to do with my eggs??? Anywho,this place was good. My first time trying it out today. I had the Popeye's revenge Omelette,which includes spinach,bacon,mushrooms and Monterey jack. For my sides home fries, sausage gravy with biscuits. The Omelette & potatoes were fulfilling. I would have liked a tad bit more seasoning to my Popeye's revenge though. The sausage gravy was good, but average no extra jimmy style to it like I expected. My boyfriend had the Big Jim which is a five egg Omelette(regular ones are three) and ten ingredients! He also had buttermilk pancakes that he didn't seem that excited about but loved the omelette. All in all I'm sure I'll return because for the price it was decent. $20 bucks for two not bad. Just a decent breakfast/ lunch joint. read more

Jimmy's Egg - Excellent food - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I've noticed the new Jimmy's Egg location on Dodge and I've been meaning to try it. My husband and I stopped in for breakfast and I was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting an order at a counter type place but it was a sit down restaurant. The decor is somewhat chic, especially for a breakfast/diner place. The prices are reasonable ($6 for a HUGE breakfast) and the food is tasty. The have a wide range of choices from healthier options (whole wheat pancakes or waffles, sweet potato pancakes, turkey sausage, egg whites, or oatmeal) to not so healthy options (biscuits and gravy, french toast, and the biscuit debris or something like that). I opted for the sweet potato pancakes and they were amazing. I will come back for those alone. My husband ordered an omelet and was very happy. We did not have any coffee after reading the other reviews. Make sure to ask for a small juice if you order one as the large is way too large and a bit expensive ($2.69). The service is fast and polite. I was very hungry and the food was out around 5-10 minutes after we ordered. The waitress was attentive but not over bearing. She was helpful with suggestions when we asked questions. I will be back to Jimmy's Egg. It is a great option for breakfast that provides delicious food at a good value. read more

Went here with los padres a few weeks ago. First of all--my daddy is a total manly man, so when he said the men's room was super ultra crazy stinky, I know it is bad. So, minus a star right now. I understand that the crowd there is often tourists (it's near a hotel) and old people, so digestive "issues" might be inherent, but come on... Really? Ew. But, we were hungry and it was a Sunday, so we soldiered on and decided to just pray none of the staff were using that bathroom. It was crowded there--we got in right before the line was out the door. Not sure why--it's run of the mill breakfast stuff? Our waitress was cheerful, Mamita seemed to like her a lot. The crowd was a mix of families, hipsters, and old folks. The pancakes were fluffy. The breakfast potatoes were a little hard on the outside, not great. The various egg dishes we ate were pretty good, although the veggie omelette had a few too many SALTY black olives. Nothing was terrible, but nothing was a standout. If I were in a mixed group that didn't mind the wait, I'd go back, but I don't think I'll be rushing out there. read more

On our way out of Omaha, we stopped in here for a quick bite. We had never heard of it, but hubs said it had good reviews on Yelp, so we went with that :) After we seated ourselves (so funny to watch other people wait there at the door if they didn't see the sign...) we scoped out the menu and we both decided that we wanted to try omelets :) Mine ended up being a really unique one, but I quite liked it...it had pineapple and cream cheese in it! I also upgraded to the sweet potato pancakes which was the BEST idea ever. Coffee was a litle blah, but considering that was the worst thing about our meal, I am not complaining. read more

This morning was our first trip to Jimmy's Egg. It was a nice experience. Our waitress was fast and friendly. The food was very tasty and very large. My coffee was fine too. Not fancy Starbucks coffee, but you know, basic black coffee. You really get your money's worth here (except for the $2.69 large glass of OJ - which was WAY too large - and way too expensive (IMO)). I regretted it for a couple hours after - but the Biscuit Debris was tasty. read more

We had the Santa Cruz sandwich, club sandwich, wheat pancakes and the French toast. Generous portions good service plenty of ok cofee and the price to value was also good. I'm not much of a breakfast person but I will com back. read more

I was so excited to try this place, but I was completely mis-informed and disappointed. I didn't realize that it was a chain, I thought it was a new locally owned diner breakfast shop. I was mistaken. It is clean and has exceptionally fast service, but the food is not better than a Village Inn or Perkins. I ordered the "garbage breakfast" because I have a love of crispy hashbrowns. They were not crispy, and the sausage and peppers that were poured over the top were okay, but not special. I can say their wheat toast as great, not sure if it is "house-made" as the white bread is noted to be. My husband liked the biscuts and gravy, I thought it tasted like it was from a can. I can't say I won't ever eat here again, but it won't be my first choice for sure. read more

We enjoy going here for a late breakfast. It's always busy on weekends, so you probably have to wait for a table. Service is friendly and staff is very busy. I usually order the Garbage breakfast with scrambled eggs and biscuits & gravy and there is your crumbled sausage mixture over the top of the hash browns, so you get a ton of food. There are also healthier menu items, so quite a variety. I think the pancakes are just average. We tried Jimmy's Egg a number of times, then went over to The Egg & I. We much prefer Jimmy's egg for quality of food and service. note: we actually go to the one over on 168th and Maple. read more

Staff was horrendous. Politely asked two people if they could possibly move so we could seat a large group as there is a seat yourself policy and the staff came up and yelled at us. And even if the couple wouldn't have moved then no big deal. Then they moved and it was all fine and the same staff member came over and complained that they now had to buy them a meal. Absolutely ridiculous. Seat yourself sign should not be up on a Saturday morning. Our waitress was much better than the rest of the staff at least. But still unbelievable! read more

WOW, this place is great. I can't believe the good food for the value. Get the Big Jim omelet for $8something and you get enough AMAZING food for 2-3 people! They actually let you choose 10 ingredients to put in for that price (including all sorts of cheeses, veggies, and even avocado!)! It is so awesome. read more

I was very surprised by this place. Such a small town cafe type feel. Servers had their regulars and knew their orders before they even had to say anything. Service is great! Very friendly and very attentive! The food... Oh my gosh! Home fries are the best! My husband really enjoyed the buttermilk pancakes. I would definitely return here!! read more

Recently I moved back to the area, and it seems more and more restaurants have popped up in Omaha in the past 10 years. My mother treated me to lunch at Jimmy's Egg a couple weeks ago. Well, breakfast for lunch. We split the Short Banana Pecan Pancakes, and for under $5 the value couldn't be beat. The pancakes were fluffy and warm and jam-packed with pecans. I even had a bit leftover and they warmed up wonderfully. I also ordered an egg on the side; their side items are very affordable. The place was hopping and I liked the clean, well-lit atmosphere. I'll be back for sure! read more

Sunday breakfast and we just beat the rush so YAY! The place is not that big so come early on weekends or be prepared to wait. Service was a bit slow but understandable due to the rush. 3 Stars Food-Basic solid breakfast items. Was a bit surprised at the portions (larger than anticipated). 3-4 Stars Atmosphere. Basic layout, clean and accessible. No concerns. 3 Stars. Jimmy's Egg is a solid choice for breakfast items. No concerns here. read more

The was food is very good. Syaff is awesome! If you a coffee lover like I am, the staff stops by refill your mug of coffee, until you say no thank you! I'm come back for sure. The prices are very good as well! read more

I would say this place is good for omelettes but not really their pancakes. I ordered a sausage and cheese omelette with hasbrowns. The omelette was great and the hashbrowns were fantastic- crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. My sister and husband ordered the pancakes- I've had better. They had a little bit of a frozen taste to them. The service we received from the server was fantastic. We will be going back, of course, when we're in Omaha. read more

@jimmysegg; #jimmysegg; #breakfast, The most important meal of the day! Having been to this breakfast favorite before I knew what to expect. This very popular diner style chain can be very busy at times and today we were surprised to be the first in line for the next table. We were seated within about 1-2 minutes which is an excellent time when we normally will wait 5-10 to be seated. Due to the surprisingly good coffee and quick but helpful service, we keep returning. Our orders were taken with ease and our coffee's kept filled. We ordered the Belgian waffle combo as well as an omelette. Both dishes arrived together fresh from the kitchen. The omelette was perfectly cooked as were the hashbrowns. The waffle and eggs with fruit were cooked exactly as desired and were delicious. We left with pleasantly full tummies and a smile on our faces. @jimmysegg, http://www.jimmysegg.com/, #breakfast, #sunday read more

This was probably the worst time that I've had while eating here. Food was amazing, and our waitress, Lisa, was amazing too. She disappeared after we had our check and we still needed a box I was completely ignored by another waitress when I said excuse me loud enough for her to hear. And then when I asked another waitress she gave us a nasty look and said "sure". It's a box. I didn't understand why it was so difficult for somebody else to help us for a minute? I've never had this problem before and usually love coming here. read more

Great food just horrid service sat there for an hour until our waitress came back around and literally forgot about part of our food and had to remind her multiple times as she would just get distracted talking to regulars, will probably not be going back. read more

Just had a good breakfast at Jimmy's Egg. Packed but sat right down with my daughter. Happy voices filled my ears. Pleasant surroundings. Comfy seats. Attentive servers. A bit pricey but the food is worth it. Scrambled eggs not heavy and tasty on their own. Pancakes with variety like blueberry granola and savory bacon cheddar. Had these. Yum. Sausage with good flavor and bacon good. Full menu for breakfast and lunch. We left "satisfied." Second time here. Will be back more often. read more

Traditional American breakfast. Not going to leave here hungry. Lots of options. Busy place. Will probably have a bit of a wait, we came around 10:30 on a Sunday waited 5 minutes. I think we got lucky though. Mary was very attentive to us and her other tables. read more

Quick friendly servers. Many choices from a great menu, have never had anything here I didn't like

Went there yesterday around 11:30, had breakfast and was heading back out by 12:10. Food was good, definitely recommend the sweet potato pancakes! Service was fairly quick, but it also wasn't that busy. I though that the prices were good and the portions were large. The chicken fried steak was tender enough to cut with a fork and wasn't buried in an inch of breading. Don't know what happen with Sarah G's coffee, but mine was fine. read more

I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak, but what I got was Chicken Fried "Steak". It certainly was not beef - maybe racoon disguised as beef. I feel sick just thinking about it. The mystery meat went directly into the trash (Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect $200) after two bites. The white gravy was a tad bit bland and my hash browns would have been better if they were crispy. My scrambled eggs were excellent and the homemade toast was also tasty. Regardless I will not be returning. read more

My wife had a build your own omelette with 5 things in it, hash browns and pancakes. I had eggs, bacon, grits and "homemade white bread." None of it had any taste. Very strange! I've never had such bland food. Instead of butter they gave us something with 40% vegetable oil. The coffee was basic and weak. The service was good. She kept my coffee full and the food was prompt. I won't return cause I love food. This cardboard filled me up but nothing more. read more

Jimmy's Egg is a solid place to get some breakfast or lunch. It's pretty similar to a lot of American style diners but with a focus on breakfast food. Much of the menu consists of various combinations of eggs, toast, pancakes, etc. This focus on breakfast food means it's only open for lunch and breakfast (closing is at 2pm). I came here at around 1pm for some lunch and got the garbage omelet with home fries and toast. The waitress was super friendly in a way that I haven't sen since I went to firehouse subs recently (see my firehouse subs review for more details). The amount of food that I got for that order was much more than I expected. I saw that the omelet was made of three eggs but overall it was stuffed with so many vegetables that it looked closer to five or six. Everything was pretty good and wasn't greasy, which made me feel a lot better about nearly downing the entire plate. The rest of my party was also happy with their variations of eggs and pancakes. I would come here again for lunch. PS it's really, really cheap! read more

Excellent place to eat, the food is always decadently beautiful, extremely delicious and pleasing to the tummy and taste buds!!! Customer service is awesome!!

Wow. Huge portions. Great tasting and cheaper than a Village Inn. I got the pork chop breakfast and it was delicious.
