Jim's Deli is exactly what many are missing in today's brunch scene: a no nonsense, affordable space with great service and portions. Went out this last Saturday morning with a friend: we got the Brighton and Veggie omelettes with a couple black coffees and were able to keep the damage below $40. The portions were generous, the food was quality, and we even got those omelettes with a heap of potatoes and toast on the side. How often can you get such quality, service, and price in one these days? I'd highly recommend this place in Boston for a solid brunch spot. read more

Their Shepard pie was excellent. It even came with a soft roll and butter and they added gravy to the order as well. I love a good Shepards pie and this one hit the spot. Served on tuesdays only! Service is always great...with a smile and a thank you! Great employees. Ambiance is a little rundown diner but everyone comes for the food. read more

Hands down one of the best places in Boston. Jim's is iconic in the Brighton neighborhood and any time of day is great to stop by. The menu options seem almost limitless and they have a number of specials that rotate through. The portions are massive, especially dinner, that can often also serve as the next day's lunch. One of my favorites is their Buffalo Chicken sandwich with fries. The sandwich is loaded and has just the right amount of sauce and blue cheese to chicken ratio. The counter style ordering, old school booths and friendly staff make it a smooth experience to dine-in. They also offer takeout. If you're in Brighton do not pass this place up. read more

Jim's Deli - Buffalo Chicken Sandwich - Delis Near Me - Brighton, Massachusetts

Friendly deli with old school vibe and a seriously extensive menu. Right by the BC campus. You get a lot of food for the price. Got a grilled cheese which went over big time with my five year old. For me, a Santa Fe wrap which was an average sandwich. Chicken Caesar wrap is what they are known for and we got two of those which went over well. It is worth popping in here for a quick lunch or breakfast, you can stay or go. Seating inside. I'd come back to try some of the breakfast items. read more

If you're in the mood for a classic American diner experience and happen to be in Brighton, Jim's Deli is perfect for you. The small plates they have are 10.95 and will definitely fill you up. We got the brisket with Mac and mashed potatoes and the meat loaf with vegetables and mashed potatoes. Both were delicious. The stand out for me personally was the jalapeño poppers. Normally, they're too oily and greasy for me but Jim's were crunchy without being oily. A must try! read more

I went on a Friday morning at 9:15am. Found a parking spot in front. You could smell the food from outside. Inside it reminds me of the school cafeteria but with delicious food. It was way busier than the photo I took just a few minutes later! Very diverse. People ordered a lot of different meals and they all looked delicious. You go in, grab a tray and silverware, they cook and pass you your food, you go to the end of the line where they have drinks to pick from, then you pay, then sit down. You leave your tray at the table. Great experience overall. The food was so good we will definitely be going back! read more

If you are looking for a dive on a Sunday morning you have found it. Your basic deli with a grill. Upon entering I took a tray and wondered if the tray had ever been washed. The tray felt greasy. I had the Jim's am burrito. I was not sure what I was going to get. It had this peculiar taste which I think was from the salsa. I would have to have it without to be certain. The choice on the burrito was ham, bacon, or sausage. I went with the ham because I thought it was the safest. The prices were reasonable which they should be. I can't imagine they spend any money on anything but payroll. There was no service to speak of since orders were placed at the counter. I was not impressed by the place. Stay away. read more

Great prompt service with a smile! Classic breakfest options w very large portions! Lunch sandwich variety is mindblowing!!!!

Today 10/4/24 First time trying this place. I asked for scrambled eggs and was given a fried egg? (It's printed on my receipt the request) So the staff didn't bother to read my request. I asked for extra crispy bacon also printed on receipt but not how I ordered it I got soft bacon. The French toast was good with the syrup. Not sure if I'm going to try this place again, if you can't get a simple order correct that a customer ordered and is printed on my receipt and the staff don't even take the time to check a request. Not good business and this is a first impression! read more

Best Reuben I've ever had. Thick slices of corn beef the perfect amount of thousand Island and sauerkraut. So glad I found this place! read more

The best deli in Boston hands down. The freshest ingredients and the staff are very friendly. Busy spot but never waiting long for your food

Your perfect neighborhood deli. No frill, but excellent friendly service and delicious food. Got the cracked turkey sub, it was fresh, filled, flavorful, and reasonably priced for the amount of food. read more

A true gem in brighton! Great service and great place to pick up some good food for a reasonable price. Love the Rachael wrap and the Jim's style hot dog -- the flavors tied in so well and love the amount of bacon and meat in each. For the hot dog, I love how the bun held up well while carrying so much inside and that it doesn't break apart. I definitely want to come back to try some more of their options. But I was not a huge fan of their French toast -- I would not come back for this again, but would be open to see if their other breakfast options are tastier. read more

This was our second visit to Jim's. Both times the greeting was friendly and very welcoming. As soon as you walk in you are greeted by stacked rows of fresh eggs. Pretty much telling you we have great breakfast. The breakfast menu was large and creative. We both got the Jim's special wrap. 3 eggs peppers onions bacon and cheese. I got wheat wrap. Very good and filling. The home fries were intense and crisp. The coffee was very good. Last time we came we got the same feel. Warm greeting like you were a regular. We had lunch. We both had a variation of a steak and cheese. The bread was fresh and portions huge. The seats were old school cafeteria style. You slide your tray down the aisle, pay and go. But all with a smile. Food was great, the pricing was up there but the quality creativity and intangibles make this a must try. read more

Hash was great but eggs are the number one component of breakfast and I don't know how you get it this wrong. Scrambled should be the easiest to execute. read more

Love this place - great staffs, nice food Sweet potato fries: crispy outside with juicy savory taste of sweet potato inside. The best sweet potato you can ever have in MA Cheese and steak sub: Alot of veggies and protein with right amount of cheese inside. The sauce tied up so well with the rest of the ingredients. Would've been amazing if the bread was toasted but can't complain because I really love the kind service and cheerful environment:) read more

Jim's Deli - Delis Near Me - Brighton, Massachusetts

3.5 stars. It's a cafeteria-style diner. You get in line and tell the cooks what meal you want. Got the hash and eggs. HUGE portion for the price. The hash was extremely salty, to the point where it really downgraded the flavor. Got a nice discount for paying with cash. Overall, I'd definitely try it again, but I'd probably order something different. read more

Filling and delicious at the same time!!! Came here for breakfast and wow. It's not just simple eggs, bacon, toast and hash browns. There are many entree selections from which to choose along with a bunch of specials, and that's just breakfast! Some selections are unique (all sound good) and some are typical breakfast fare. We had little bit of both, classic and unique. ALL of it was good, generous portions and high quality ingredients. Even the coffee was very good. One nice touch is the freshly baked giant muffins in the cast iron pan - if you order it they take it right out of the pan, slice, butter and put it on the grill for a few minutes. Slightly crispy exterior and tender crumb with blueberries -big yum. It's cafeteria style so as soon as you walk in grab a tray, your utensils and get in line. The menu is extensive and it's all posted on the boards above the counter/line. Suggest looking up the menu online beforehand and then when at the restaurant read the specials so you can place your order quickly vs holding up the line. The last thing you want to do is hold up the line of uncaffeinated, hungry patrons. The guys behind the counter are friendly, funny, interactive and yet they really hustle back there to keep the line moving, including Jim himself. This isn't a large restaurant so the seating is limited. Get there early! read more

It pains me to write this because I've had so many good meals there, but just had a pretty lousy experience. I was maybe the only person eating, and there is one buddy talking to the crew at full volume about a bunch of pro tr*mp political stuff, and everyone behind the counter was adding to it. Conspiracy stuff like 'B*den killed all the chickens on the way out of office to jack up the price' and complaining how the media fact checks tr*mp but not B*den. Complaining about B*den economy as if ANYTHING is going to get cheaper this year. Honestly ruined my breakfast and I left there super irritated. Took a lot of restraint to not chime in. I would've given 4 or even 5 stars prior to this but my meal today just sucked. Better eating here vs over ten years. Might as well put a MAGA flag out front. Enjoy the tariffs everyone! read more

Great and quick place for a wrap. I like the Chicken Caesar Wrap here and the service is always good.

The best food I've had since moving from Chicago to Boston, hands down. It's a hidden gem. Reuben is great.

Really great food and a fun atmosphere -- super casual and great options. The Pancakes and Home fries are delicious read more

Jim's is a favorite spot of my co-workers and I order delivery on a pretty regular basis. They serve breakfast items all day long if that's your thing. The food is decent but the prices are sky high. I usually spend about $30 for a Western Omelette with sides of Bacon and Sausage. Delivery is usually on time and it definitely serves its purpose. The online ordering is also very easy. read more

Great local place with good food , huge selection and friendly service . Definitely recommended

My boyfriend has been raving about Jim's Deli for months, so when I finally came out to visit Brighton we had to stop for brunch. I got the breakfast burrito with rice, black beans, egg, and sausage. The burrito was HUGE but the flavor and quality of ingredients made me enjoy every bite. My boyfriend's go-to is the buffalo chicken wrap with sweet potato fries. Cozy dining experience inside, quick and friendly staff. This place is a hidden gem! read more

Amazing food in a cafeteria-style decor! As a native of Brighton, every person's lunchtime rite of passage involves getting a large juicy burger with fries at Jim's Deli. The portion size is humongous and is certain to send any one straight into a food coma if they don't pace themselves. Sometimes, when I'm feeling extra hungry, I'll even order the triple patty burger. And remember - these are authentic beef patties, not those slim fast food ones. So you're definitely not finishing it in one-go unless you have the stomach capacity to rival Adam Richman. Also, I feel like Jim's Deli is a bit of a lucky charm for me. I ate here the night before my SAT and scored much better than I would've imagined! read more

Delicious!! Extensive menu, great food. Made fresh. The staff is very friendly. They have free delivery. We will be back!!

Just okay. Parking is a HASSLE. Service is great though. Food is not so good it's very basic. And you have to season it

Back in town. Came for breakfast. Everything still great, food service is awesome, great neighborhood vibes

Jim's is a reliable and no-frills place to get some classic American breakfast foods. There's usually a line but it's never too long of a wait because of how efficient they are. When you enter, you grab a tray and utensils and give them your order as you slowly make your way down the line. There's a variety of drinks at the register, as well as condiments. There's a good number of booths available for seating for groups of two to four, and there's usually spots open. I've come a few times now for an easy weekend meal and every time I've gravitated towards the french toast. This past time I got the Farmer Special Breakfast, which includes eggs, home fries, your choice of meat, and pancakes or french toast. Their french toast stands out to me particularly because they put both powdered sugar and cinnamon on top, which I had never experienced before. With everything else included in the meal, I was perfectly full and would definitely come back. read more

First time at Jim's today.... Extensive menu, cafeteria style joint.... We got the beef brisket dinner and it was delicious. The mac and cheese was creamy the way we like it... We need to go back multiple times to try the other breakfast, lunch and dinner options as everything looked good~ read more
