Catfish Fillet
Stacy S.

This is southern cooking at its finest. The staff is super friendly and there is a lot of seating--booths on one side and tables on the other. Everything is fried fresh to order, from the pork rinds that you can even choose the seasoning to the juiciest chicken breast you've ever had, and the delightfully seasoned cat fish down to the mouthwatering fried pickles slices. And you already know that mac n cheese was super cheesy and creamy. I'd go here everyday if my arteries would allow it. Also had their peach cobbler and blackberry cobbler and both were perfection. If you're like me and have driven by this place forever swearing to try it one day, then consider this your sign to do those taste buds of yours a solid.

Fried Catfish filet, fried fantail shrimp, collard greens, coleslaw, mac and cheese.

So, I've heard a friend or two tell me they liked this catfish place called Jim Pa's. Supposedly they won some awards for their food. I am here to tell you this place has the BEST fried fish I have EVER had. Not only that, the fish is so good I didn't want to ruin it by using tartar sauce or malt vinegar. I'm not kidding. This place is truely a hidden gem... or am I just late to the party. The fried shrimp were delicious as well. I had the collard greens , Mac and cheese, and coleslaw. Everything was perfectly seasoned. For dessert, peach cobbler. Stop whatever you are doing and goto Jim pa's and get a fried fish filet. Even if you aren't sure if you like catfish, you will!

Catfish Slider Lunch Fried Okra Onion Rings

The slider meal is about $14 and the food is fantastic! You get 6 onion rings that taste so very yummy! The sliders have good size portion of catfish. And the okra is perfectly fried and seasoned. They are out of this world!

Blackberry cobbler almost all gone!

EVERYTHING IS DELICIOUS! Every. Thing. My husband was in the mood for fish and chips, so I searched Yelp and found Jimpa's. It had been years since we have been there, and now this restaurant will be on our regular rotation. The staff is fabulous. So friendly and helpful, all of them! We enjoyed catfish, fried okra, greens, and hush puppies (the best homemade hush puppies I've ever had in my life!). My husband had blackberry cobbler. Truly, everything was delicious. Fresh, homemade, seasoned properly. I highly recommend Jimpa's!!

We stopped by for lunch. The place were pretty empty on a Sunday afternoon. Food were great. Staff were polite. Can't complain. Definitely worth stopping by if you happen to be around the area.

This pepper was sweet and not too spicy.

The chicken is amazing. The fish is hand breaded and out of this world. Everything was hot and fresh.

Great southern food. Fried catfish, fried chicken. All the sides... all done well! Great service, friendly staff. Cute diner-type vibe.

Fried apple pie
Kresta D.

Had to write another review because Jimpa's never misses! Every time I visit, the food is hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside while staying juicy and tender inside. The catfish? Flaky, crispy, and packed with flavor. The onion rings are massive and have that perfect crunch with every bite. And let's talk about the new apple fried pie--WOW! It's a must-try. If you haven't been to Jimpa's yet, you're seriously missing out!

RC had approached her with a flier at a gas station, informing her that his restaurant had just opened up. Anyway, I'm ordering my meal, the same meal I always get each time I go. Fried fish (whiting), collards and the baked beans (unmatched). And he goes, "What would you like to drink?".... I'm like, "What do you have?" (Assuming the usual. Sweet tea. Lemonade... I was probably gonna go with sweet tea. ) He lists sweet tea of course, and then hes like, "Kool-Aid, coke, sprite" - IM LIKE WAIT. DID YOU SAID KOOL-AID?......... He's like, "Yeah??..." Im like, "what flavor???.... "Purple?...." I had never heard of that at a restaurant, and quiet frankly, that's all I needed to know. At this point, I literally go nowhere else for soul food. Also, RC is amazing. Really good guy, and his team offer the best service as well. A job well done, always.

STOP LISTENING TO INFLUENCERS THAT TRULY DONT INFORM YOU …read more We walked in at 6:59. We did not have our order placed until 7:30 and while we sat there waiting the one person working in the entire floor!! also cashier. We were patiently waiting until I saw her handing out food to people that came in AFTER us because she knew them which really pissed me all the way off... And then we literally left with 17 people still standing online and 5 people walked out !!! we sat in that restaurant for an entire hour with no freaking food NOT EVEN WATER WAS GIVEN. And then we walked up to get a refund. The one worker said "your chickens right there"... yall they had our chicken just open. Sitting on a cold counter not under a heat lamp... waiting on sides. Sides for an hour !!!! it's been sitting there under NO heat lamp waiting on some sides... I do not recommend coming to this restaurant to sit down and eat unless you ordered ahead! order ahead and then when you order ahead wait an hour to go pick up your food because they are truly disorganized and it's so sad because I really wanted to support this business People they knew her and received their plates were eating and smacking their lips!! they said they'll never come back again because experience was terrible so unless you Uber and order two hours ahead to pick up your food, I do not recommend.!!! I was starving when I arrived and hungry as hell because I saved myself to devour this unhealthy oily trans fat food that would have made me sleep like a baby ** this is my first yelp review in the past 14 years since being a Yelp reviewer where I had no food to picture... Because we never got our food...!

The chicken sausage was pretty good as well. The Lows: I ordered on their website at 11:25 and requested the order for 12 pm. It wasn't ready until about 12:15. The Mac and Cheese wasn't very good. I expected more from a place that is supposed to have that southern comfort food vibe. If you like creamy Mac and cheese with the cheese pull... This ain't it. The In-between: we ordered food to go. The place is located in a shopping center next to the tropical smoothie place. Parking wasn't hard at all. It wasn't that busy when we went on Sunday morning. As noted, I had to wait about 15 minutes passed the original pick up time. They invited me to sit at the bar but no one offered me a water or anything while I waited. When I did finally receive the food, there was no apology for the delay either. Little service recovery attempts like that can go a long way.
