Very unassuming diner. In fact, I didn't even know it was there, as there wasn't any signage. (I'm not sure that's always the case, or if I just missed it, but I wouldn't have seen the restaurant if I hadn't Googled and GPS'd it). The place was BUSY and we sat down at a recently unoccupied, but still full of dirty dishes, booth to get a seat (the waitress near the door instructed us to, "go ahead and find an empty spot." It took a little while for the table to be cleared and the servers to acknowledge us, but not TOO long considering how packed it was. The food was very good and the servers were attentive with refills on the coffee and soda. I had the Herb Nelson (a scramble) and my partner had a burger. If I find myself in Streetsboro in need of breakfast or lunch, I'd definitely return! read more

Excellent Service and food! Best eggs Benedict I've ever had. One feels like they are in their own home condition.

Seat yourself! The tag teaming waitresses were all nice. The diet soda I got was gross, I don't know if the syrup just needed to be changed? Either way they did let me switch to a coffee. It was very typical burnt dinner coffee. The food took a little while to come out, but when it did...yum!! I had the eggs benedict with hash browns. It was all seasoned perfectly. I normally prefer my potatoes a bit crispier, but they were delicious. My husband had a western egg sandwich on a croissant, which he enjoyed very much. We shared a half order of biscuits and gravy. I would get my own next time... too good to share. We also had a slice of French toast and a pancake with the "turtle" topping. The French toast was NOT cinnamon, which is what I am used to, so the first bite I was a little thrown, but I would definitely get it again. The pancake with the turtle topping, it wasn't all topping, they had mixed the pecans and chocolate chips right into the batter and then drizzled it with caramel and topped with whipped cream. All delicious! The actual building may be hard to find if you don't have good gps. There is currently no signage with the name of the restaurant. The window does say Diner so at least you know it's food, haha. Go. Have breakfast. Or lunch, that also looked delicious. read more

A teeny tiny little diner with fabulous food and top-notch service. Our waitress Karen, was NOT your stereotypical "Karen"!! She deserves that top tiered tip! read more

Great place for breakfast! Food is always good, tasty and good value. Servers were friendly, attentive . Dining room is Clean comfortable I recommend Jim's read more

This is now the 2nd time we have gone there and had to wait on service. The 1st time 3 of us ordered our food and it took almost an hour before we got up and left because the food never came. This time 2 of us sat down and never got greeted for over 15 minutes. So we left. Other people were also saying how slow the service was. This location is sadly going downhill. read more

Food was really good. The wait staff was very attentive. If you're looking for a quick, solid breakfast, this place is it

The service is awful. The food was okay I won my be back since it's a family owned restaurant I know these people won't change

They are not nice to their employees. I got hired there and only had 3 days on the floor and then they texted me because I made mistakes that day it's a terminate my employment. They couldn't even do it to my face. How can a person learn everything in 3 days without making a mistake I don't recommend even being employed at that place they treat you like poop read more

Great breakfast!! This place was recommended by a local friend of mine, and I'm glad I got there early!! Good sized portions of fresh ingredients!! Biscuits and home made gravy was the best!! read more

Great service, nice menu selection and good food. What more can you ask for? Thinking the Herb Nelson is a play on Willie's favorite past time and what it might make you crave. read more

Great little diner. We had a great breakfast here. Donna gave us great service. Will definitely go back. read more

So, we decided to finally try this place since most of the breakfast places in Streetsboro have closed. We were very pleasantly surprised, and wish we had tried it much sooner. There are several places around Portage county that we like to frequent for breakfast, and sometimes dinner, but Jim's Open Kitchen Too has now become our favorite breakfast place. Excellent food, very nice atmosphere, and very reasonable prices. When you try this place, and find out how much you like it, don't forget to ring the cow bell on the way out the door! read more

Still a fan favorite! Best biscuits and gravy I have had in Ohio hands down. Eggs Benedict also perfect. If you like diners this is a great one. read more

My parents and I went for the first time about a month ago. We kept putting it off because it looked small from the outside. The minute we walked in we were greeted by friendly staff and although when it's busy you are seated by the staff, since we got there when they first opened they told us to sit wherever we wanted. It's a long building and they have booths, tables, and a long counter you can sit at. It is a tight space if it gets too crowded, but I like it. The first time I tried there griddle combo with a waffle with the banana split topping. It was great! It was the perfect size meal, not too much and not too little. The waffle was the perfect texture and the nuts in the topping added a good crunch. Just so you know usually home fries or potatoes on the side are extra. If it doesn't say it comes with potatoes or anything else just assume it's going to be an extra charge. The toppings for the waffle and pancakes are extra also, but I think it's worth it. All the times we have went the servers are always friendly, the food is piping hot and tastes great, and we always leave happy and full! read more

I checked my reviews and I can't believe I've never given a review for my favorite breakfast joint in the area. If you're looking for a classic diner breakfast, this is your place in the Aurora, Hudson, Streetsboro area. The place is clean, fast, and reasonably priced. If you're looking for a mimosa, or Bloody Mary with your meal, this is not your place. No alcohol served. The location is easy to find right off SR 14 in Streetsboro. I don't eat pancakes or waffles, but I'm told they're very good. Update - still 5 stars. I've eaten at Jim's more times that I'd care to admit. Never once have I been disappointed with the food. Not a high bar to reach because it's diner food you say? Simple and consistent are not easy pairings. read more

We've driven by here a couple times and finally stopped. Boy have we been missing out. We both ordered The Number One. Hubby had pancakes and I had the waffle. I'm picky about pancakes but tasted his and they were delicious. I'd order them but I love the waffle. It was perfect. The coffee was really good and everything was delicious. I'm so glad we stopped. Prices are very reasonable. read more

During the Covid pandemic we were looking for a full service non-chain breakfast place and found Jim's. This restaurant did not disappoint at all. I was exactly what we were looking for. This is a classic American diner with the right kind of menu and good atmosphere. Plenty of locals and apparently regulars eating here, always a good sign. Good breakfast, great pancakes. read more

Nice! Crowded when we walked in which was a good sign. Had a mom and pop diner feel. It was around 11... so I ordered lunch (burger and fries) and she ordered a cheese, mushroom and tomato omelette. Both were as expected. Diner food which was reasonably priced and worth the experience. I'd recommend this over a chain... give it a try. What do you have to lose? read more

When you pull into a full parking lot, you just know the food is going to be top notch. 11yr old highly recommends the Banana Foster Waffle! Can't go wrong with banana, caramel, pecans and whipped cream! Griddle combo, chicken fried steak & coffee were really good too! Husband said he can't wait to go back and have a burger for breakfast! read more

Great tasting fresh food! Fast service, friendly staff! Have always wanted to go here lived in ohio for most of my life, but moved out of state was in town and said we needed to try this place because i have always heard great things! The rumors are true, everything is so good! read more

I literally just ate at Jim's this morning for the first time and had such a great breakfast. While there are plenty of breakfast spots around, Jim's nails the diner vibe and food. Our table of four tried everything from the herb Nelson (must-try scramble) to the French toast. Everything was excellent diner style food, and they did not scrimp on the quantity. Everyone was super nice, and our server (Alyssa) was awesome. I'll definitely be back! (Remember to ring the bell on the way out for a send off!) read more

Very busy place! Wonderful staff but pretty cheap food, lower quality, pretty bland. Pretty loud place and the wait is significant as well. So if you are looking for high quality and quiet breakfast, this is not the place. But looking for a cheap, carb breakfast with very little option for vegetarians, and really nice team to serve you, this is your place! read more

Omelettes seem smaller. Toast was raw despite dark order. Not at all busy on a Wednesday morning. Hash browns piping hot as ordered. I've lost that loving feeling. Might be last call for me here. read more

In my humble opinion, this is the best place for breakfast in the entirety of northeast Ohio. Headed here again this morning for the Herb Nelson with an extra egg and bacon... OH MY... so delicious. The Herb Nelson is like a hash of sorts, with everything cooked together and mixed up, which I like to do with eggs over easy and home fries anyway... also has onions and cheddar cheese, and it's so very delicious. Everything here is great. Friends have had omelets and the waffle, southern fried chicken, and just "regular' bacon and eggs, and everything tastes wonderful. The place is crazy, especially on weekends, and it helps that the waitstaff loves to work there and really does have fun doping their job. Oh, did I mention the coffee?? Best of any restaurant outside of a coffee shop I've had. Highly recommend Jim's Too... read more

Stopped by own a road trip. It was excellent. Highly recommend. The food was great and the coffee was shockingly good.

This is one of those joints where some folks that can tell it's a decent diner by the building and overflowing parking lot. You're not going to find some lobster omelet or crazy unique menu items, you WILL find a standard, modestly sized menu which is prepared consistently delicious by the cooks and served up by a crew of friendly and fast server girls. Get here early or be prepared to fight for a parking space in a large lot mostly without lines. The building is very small compared to the lines that will form for a booth or table. It's worth the wait and fairly priced menu with breakfast and lunch offerings at good prices! read more

Always great and friendly. The food is above average for diner food and the service is always exceptional. Highly recommend.

Food was amazing. I ordered the Jim's pile up that comes with homemade hash browns and biscuits and I assume homemade sausage gravy!

Visited on a week day for breakfast and got a seat right away! (Weekends are more packed) We had great food and service! It's always a plus when a restaurant cooks poached eggs correctly (I do wish home fries were included). read more

Fast service, great, home-cooked tasting food and conveniently located off of State Route 14. We will definitely be back again.

I was looking for a heart breakfast and not a chain Saw this on yelp and the reviews were great. My hope is that it would be Fantastic as it looks like a nice "worn out" establishment which usually means great food. I think they been around for a while and the reminds me of a diner. I loved the atmosphere and it appears very clean I ordered the western omelet with white toast. Added hasbrowns for additional price and water and small OJ OMELETE was delicious with the correct t amount of additives. White toast was nicely buttered and not soggy Hasbrowns were cooked well but had a few too many hard crispy pieces in then for my taste. SM OJ hit the spot. All in all it was a nice first visit. Next time I will have to bring a friend. read more

Who is Herb Nelson?? I danno, but thanks to them!!! I enjoyed my Ultimate Herb Nelson order. My brother ordered the Country Fried Steak. I don't think he was NOT pleased with the dish, but I think he's a bit more of a meat snob than I am. As he put it, "don't think I would order it again". I liked it just fine though! I especially thought the gravy was good, and I really do feel like sometimes gravy is very difficult for some diners. Now, I only gave Jim a four out of five because (while the food/service/setting experience was a five out of five), I thought the prices were a bit high. I ended up paying $29 for the whole breakfast for two people. That's a bit high for me, so I don't think I'll be back anytime soon because I know other good diners that cost significantly less. read more

Over 50 years in business !! - they do breakfast right !! Foods is made to order using quality ingredients- their eggs Benedict is very good

The absolute best breakfast place- here or the one in Solon. Small and full of lively people that are exceptional servers. So good and we always get the following : Big Jim Burgers Belgian waffles- blueberry is the best Biscuits and sausage gravy - so good and can eat that with a spoon if needed - so delicious Chicken salad - Beyond good The ranch and the thousand island dressing is amazing and homemade. The fries and home fries are also amazing. Overall, I can't even express how good it is and soooo reasonable. For five of us we spent 46 and left happy. They are always busy and there may be a wait, but it's also worth it . read more

Oh, Jim's. I always laugh when people come here expecting foie gras and champagne. Jim's is a lovable greasy spoon with locally famous spots in Streetsboro & Solon. When you walk in, it is totally a retro-throw back diner. Checkered floors, bar and booth style seating and jukebox decor is all around. If you're coming to Jim's, get the breakfast. Or the milkshakes. Or why not a milkshake with your breakfast? I've seen people do it. On my last trip, I opted for the biscuits and gravy with eggs. I swear, it came out from the kitchen in 5 minutes. The breakfast menu is simple, but it gets the job done. Again, don't come here looking for foie gras. My favorite part of Jim's is the service and staff. Its so refreshing to see a staff that likes their workplace, likes working together and likes chatting with customers. When we visited, you could tell the numerous regulars scattered around the diner. Jim's gives a hometown feel that definitely lacks in the area. You can also come in sweatpants and not be judged. Oh, and hit up the ATM before you go -- cash only! read more

Classic diner food. Packed for breakfast on a Friday morning but no wait and fast service. Servers attentive and food arrived quickly.
