We found Jimmy's Grand Cafe because it was in the evening, we were freezing and hungry after walking through the botanic gardens nearby. OH. MY. GAWDS. This place was an amazing find for us. It looks like, and kind of feels like, a diner, but it's so much more. We were super excited to find Latin American cuisine favorites that we love and don't often find near home. I had a Cuban Medianoche sandwich that was served on absolutely excellent bread, with curly fries. My husband, the carnivore, ended up with some kind of multiple meat sandwich that came on the same amazing roll. (Before you think it's weird for me to rave about the ROLL, where we live in central PA, there is no good bread. Just saying!) I also had to get an order of tostones because I love them so much. They came with a garlic sauce that was intense and delicious. The service was friendly and attentive. I got the impression that this is a neighborhood joint with lots of regulars. There was lots of chatter and conversation among the people around us. Seriously, if you need food in the Bronx, this place is a great place to eat. read more

#whereisweekes.....we went to my Sistha Gurl surprised 55th Birthday Party at Jimmy's Grand Cafe. The food was very good and seasoned. The service was great. The servers were great making sure you glasses stayed full and took your plates when done eating. We all had a good time at the brunch and even had some food to take home. read more

The service was amazing. Our waiter was very kind and attentive to us at the table. Thank you for all you did. Appreciate it very much. The ambiance was quite. We went an hour before closing so it was nice. The food I will say that roast pork was so delicious and seasoned very well. The rice was good could have been a little softer. The potato salad was bland it needed some seasoning, if it had it would have tasted so much better. Overall I would go back and try other dishes. I loved that French toast omg delicious. read more

Came here on Mother's Day. The one positive was the service, the manager and wait staff were very attentive. The negative was the food. Everything was clearly prepackaged frozen food. I got the Dominican burger (the patty was clearly a frozen patty), my son had the chicken nuggets and French fries (the nuggets were also clearly frozen), my mother got the chicken Madeira she said the chicken was overcooked but the flavor was good. I am one who always cuts my burgers in half and I ate the first half and when I started the second half I took one bite and placed it upside down on my plate and that's when I noticed mold on the bottom bun of my burger. My server got the manager immediately. The manager came and she goes these buns are fresh and I respond clearly not. They did take the burger off my bill, but we will definitely not be going back. If you go make sure you check your food and make sure it's safe to eat. I've attached a picture of the mold on the burger. read more

Great food. Nice vibe. A Bronx classic. Service is fast. Stays open late so also good for takeout orders if you can't dine in.

The place left a good impression. The interior is comfortable, the music creates a light atmosphere. Service is attentive, waiters work quickly and politely. Most of the dishes were delicious - the dish with meat and garnish was especially good. However, some menu items could be cooked fresher, this slightly reduces the overall impression. Despite the minor flaws, the place is worth visiting, especially for a quiet lunch or dinner with friends. read more

A surprising gem just a brick toss from the Bruckner. As a driver, patronizing some establishments bring anxiety due to the lack of adequate parking. I was trying to decide if double parking could work or if I could chance a partial hydrant block when we realized they had their own parking lot! SCORE! The "We" wanted a quick girls breakfast we literally had 40 minutes. Not only was our service prompt, the server personable, the food good, the interior is beautiful. I had the Belgian waffle w/ ice cream, fruit and whipped cream w/ a side of bacon. I totally recommend it. Will be coming here again read more

Ive been wanting to eat from here for a while now. First time ordering from here and I was let down. I had ordered a grilled chicken cutlet hero with lettuce, tomato, mayo, well done bacon, cheddar cheese and avocado slices on the side. With a side of truffle fries. Sadly my truffle fries weren't throughly fried which then made them soggy, my bread was soggy & my avocado slices were inside of my hero. When I went to look for them they were not put to the side and they were already brown. I had called the restaurant and the manager wants to tell me that she wasn't aware that I wanted avocado slices on the side and that she was there when they opened a fresh avocado. That manager must have been lying or doesn't know what a fresh avocado is. It was brown and mushy as hell. She said she could give me credit for whenever I come in person. Good thing for GrubHub for helping me with that issue because credit for a restaurant that I won't be going to isn't going to help me. read more

I'm in the Bronx! I have to admit my friend was telling me a story and I spaced out staring at the interior. It's what I imagine a dining room on a future space ship (think USS Enterprise, Wall-E, or SpaceX) would look like for some reason. Coconut French toast hit the diner breakfast button for me. read more

I've been going to Jimmy's for about 9 years now. The ambiance is great the have tv, the music is great. The service and the staff is very friendly. The Spanish and the American food is to die for. The prices are nit bad. You have to try the cheese cake. My favorite is Pernil with rice and gandules with potato salad. If you are near there you must drop in. read more

I really like Jimmy's. It is a cool neighborhood restaurant. The staff is friendly and the food is always good.

When ever I'm in the Castle Hill area I always stop at Jimmy's. The staff is great and the food is really good. It's also a good place to have a event pre COVID-19. They are following all of the COVID requirements. Limited seating, social distancing, mask and they provide hand sanitizer. read more

Soooo many people come here and hype this place up.... I just want to know, whyyyy????? "What was the reason!" I remember when Jimmy's was on white plains road. I think I went there once or twice and it wasn't the best food option even then but a relative loved going so we went. This time a friend choose to go here for our relocation spot due to the heat The star rating is for the service and the drinks. The place was fairly empty and we were seated at a spot near the service door and wanted to move. Also it was a hot day we wanted to spread out and be comfortable. We asked if we could move and at first we were told that the table we wanted to move to was for a party of 6.... Then some other guy said yes because it was empty. They only had one table that fits a party of 6 I guess. Not to mention when walking in there were parties of 2 sitting in all the other booths I'm sure was meant for more than just two people. But okay moving on First we had the Jack Honey Mango which was good and then I switched up and asked if they can do a Piña colada and put Mango in it, which they seemed a little stumped on how to make. Then they wanted to know if I still wanted it to have alcohol.. Yes!?? I just wanted a little extra flavor lol. The food was nothing to brag about and lacked flavor, which is disappointing considering this is known to be a Spanish restaurant. The ancestors would not be pleased with those servings, just saying. Unless they only put effort into the plates of certain guests, because it looked like a good bunch of people came by and just walked in and out the back like they were part of the staff.... Maybe they were but it was a lot of door action... For food our table spread consisted of the chicharrón de pollo and coconut shrimp for appetizers, coconut french toast with coquito sauce, scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese, beef sausage links, steak de palomilla, fried egg and hash browns. On my end, for the chicharrón some parts were more bone than meat it was like they gave a good 5 of just mostly bone pieces and then like 3 pieces with meat. The Calypso sauce it came with was a good match though. I was so disappointed with the French toast. I mean majorly disappointed. The coquito sauce was like I just poured plain milk on my French toast so I had french toast con coco y leche. They overused the coconut which I guess was to cover us the dry bread. The beef sausage link seemed fine. It was beef and not pork thankfully! The eggs were scrambled, not seasoning and then cheddar cheese was just melted on top in a huge clump. For my friend she said the steak definitely needed A1 sauce and the hash browns needed ketchup salt and pepper. I don't recall how she said she liked the shrimp but she ate all of it. The waitress was fine. She thought it odd I asked for syrup and brought out extra "coquito" sauce but that wasn't fixing the French toast. I initially thought about ordering a gyro and curly fries to go but after having the main meal I knew it would have been a waste. There was a guy who cleaned up the tables and offered water who was very nice. So a star for the drinks a star for the waitress and one for the cleanup guy. Oh btw they have the cc logos in the window but right next to it a sign that says they aren't accepting credit cards at this time. There is an ATM inside but who knows what those fees may look like. read more

Service is good, venue is clean and nice, drinks and food items are standard for a diner. I ordered a burger inspired by the tres golpes ingredients and it was to die for. I need to go back bc the cheese and onion combo was bombastic in the best way. The yuca fried tho tasted like old oil so I had to doc a star for that. read more

Jimmys Grand Cafe is an excellent restaurant. Their food is always amazing and so is the service. When I come, I usually order the churrasco steak with rice, and it is always a 10/10! Their breakfast and lunch dishes are also always a 10/10. The ambiance always puts you in a good mood and makes sure you have a good meal. read more

My coworker hosted a Retirement Brunch at Jimmy's Grand Cafe. The food was good, but the service was terrible. One waitress, Ms. Sofia, was unpleasant and acted like she was in charge, walking around with an off-putting attitude. The staff started packing the food by 3:00 pm, even though the reservation was from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm. This disrupted the event and was done without consulting my coworker. When I questioned Ms. Sofia, she was rude. I spoke to the manager, Ms. Abby, who said they were supposed to start cleaning and packing food an hour before the event ended. However, she falsely claimed she was present at 3:00 pm and insisted they couldn't have started early. This was not true, as she wasn't there at 3:00 pm. As a result, late-arriving guests had no food. Overall, despite the good food, the poor service and early packing up of food significantly marred the celebration. I would never do an event in that place or go eat there again. So when anyone rent the place for an event make sure that they don't pack your food and try to throw you out fase. Nasty and terrible read more

My boyfriend and I had lunch here on a Tuesday. As soon as we walked in we were greeted, seated and given menus. Our waiter was a pleasure, making sure we had everything we needed. I opted for the Chicken Scampi w/rice & my boyfriend had the Pernil. I also had a passion mojito which was sooo good with the perfect amount of alcohol. My chicken scampi was good as well. What I love the most about Jimmy's is the portion size. You always have more than enough to take home and snack on later. read more

Sunday my family ordered take out from Jimmy's Grand Cafe and order Pernil for my dinner and to share with company on my Birthday!! The prices have increased from a Delicious $20 succulent meal to a Disappointing $27 disastrous meal of DRIED OUT PERNIL.....unfortunately due to being famished and having no recourse since it was late I decided not to call that evening.... Yes my error but I did call today to alert management about the failure of Jimmy's to remain consistent.....I TELL THOSE WHO ORDER ANY PERNIL OR FOR ANY MEAL AS A TAKE OUT....PLEASE BEWARE OF THE MEAL AND REACT IMMEDIATELY!!! Otherwise it could be a major FAILURE!!! read more

I was really hoping that I would enjoy this place. However, it's not that good. The food was just OK, the people there are not mean, but just not sensitive to your needs. So, I don't know if I would recommend this place maybe if you just want to get a quick bite and get out as quickly as possible. Not the best diner. read more

Excellent service and great food. Even though it was crowded the attention we got from the server was excellent

I was walking by and decided I'm not cooking tonite let me get some wings. So on the mine they have baby chicken wings. I do not like baby chicken wings. The waitress informed me they have Grand chicken wings so I made two orders one with mango sauce the other with whiskey barbecue sauce. The place is a party atmosphere and everything is clean clean clean. They have an upstairs where all you hear is the laughter of people enjoying themselves. I love it. read more

I visited on two different occasions once for dinner and once for breakfast and I was impressed both times with food and service. The food is a good portion. The drinks are strong especially that rum punch and everything was well seasoned. The menu is extensive it's so much to choose from so whatever your in the mood for they have you covered. They also have an upstairs so in the event that you need to do a private party they can accommodate that as well. Overall I had a good time and will definitely visit again. read more
