    Frontier Sampler Basket
    Nayra B.

    The most comforting of comfort food. I've been disappointed with Jim's as of late, but this location was fantastic. It was clean and though there was only one server the night we went, she was working nonstop and was absolutely on top of things. Needless to say there was a little bit of a wait, but our visit was still pleasant and our food was the best I've had from Jim's in quite some time. I ordered the Frontier Sampler Basket and it was everything I wanted it to be. The Fried Mushrooms did seem to dominate the majority of the basket, but the Mozzarella Sticks and Chicken Tenders held their own. The Mushrooms were juicy but didn't make the crispy exterior soggy, the Chicken was tender and delicious, the Mozzarella Sticks were gooey and tasted best with the Marinara Sauce, and the Cream Gravy was delicious as always. I'd been bummed out about the possibility of Jim's quality declining after my last couple of visits at other locations, but the food here really raised my expectations again. It really was Jim's at its best. I'd highly recommend this location to Jim's fans. The people I went with were also super satisfied with their meal, so I have reason to believe that you'll enjoy yours too.

    Egg plates and what is substitutable.

    First time here. I ordered coffee and glass of ice water. She brought my coffee cup with her fingers over the lip of the cup instead of on the handle. I said no offense but I'd like another cup and it served by the handle, like they instruct in food handler classes. She rolled her eyes but did as I asked and I thanked her. I placed my order of eggs and asked if I could get sliced tomatoes instead of hash browns. Sure she said. Ok I'll have the bacon, side of grits and a biscuit to complete it. Finishing my meal, I looked at my bill and there was a $1.79 charge for two slices of tomatoes along with the meal and coffee charges. I asked her if she would remove that tomato charge bc she didn't tell me there would be one? (.90¢ for 1 slice?) She said she didn't understand why it was on the bill (who preps the final bill for the customer?) in the first place and turned away with it but then turned right around and said no she couldn't remove it because I was only supposed to get one side with the breakfast plate. Well, I did get the side of grits, and the tomatoes were supposed to be in place of the hashbrowns. The menu doesn't say there's a charge for a substitution unless it was for a fruit. Things went downhill from there. I said I didn't think I should have to pay that because you didn't tell me there was going to be an up charge. She said well I'm sorry that's just the way it is and I said well then that's your tip then. and I went to the register to pay my bill and she followed me and kept bad mouthing at me all the way to the register and told me to never come back. Don't remember her name ( middle aged, attractive Afro-American) but my register receipt says "Server 36 AM Cash"? 9:37AM Table 43/1 Don't worry, I'll never go to another Jim's after this debacle!

    Chicken Fried Chicken Breakfast with scrambled eggs and biscuits
    Victoria E.

    Had breakfast while in town. Tiki Hubby ordered chicken fried steak of course, for breakfast I ordered one pancake. Friend order senior pancake breakfast. Service was slow waitress seems distracted by those she knew or regulars. Everyone around us got there food even though we where there before them. Food was okay eggs dry I really think they sat under heat lamp as slow service from waitress. Pancakes good, but I ordered one and she brought 2. The ice tea sucked and waitress agree she said yes it seemed sour. Just clean the pot. Hash browns not crispy but soft. Overall food a 3 service a 2.5. I hate not to give a higher grade but our server seemed to feel we got what we got. It was a Friday morning and not that busy my pancake was very yummy vanilla and fluffy, I like just butter no syrup. They do not have real butter, but a butter type. Would be amazing with real butter.

    The Texas Omelet with hash browns and jalapeños
    Oliver B.

    Exceptional customer service. Our waiter was Florida. He told us that his real name is very difficult to pronounce and people just called him Florida. He was one of the best servers I've ever had in a long time. He was attentive and made us feel special. Florida told us many funny jokes and lit up the room with his positive attitude. He truly loved his job and it showed with the service we received. I got the Texas Omelet with hash browns and a big pancake. They filled the middle of the omelet to the max with bacon,sausage and ham. I added jalapeños and they didn't hold back with them either. I only have one negative thing concerning the omelet. I wish that the omelet had more of a balanced ratio when it came to the eggs and the meat. The hash browns were good but I really enjoyed the pancake. I ate all of the pancake and I took half of the omelet home. The food was worth a four out of five. The great customer service from Florida pushed it to a five out of five. Please go to this Jim's and hopefully you will get Florida as your server. You will be in for a great time. We will be back there again.

    We chopped up her silver dollar pancakes, good but should have included at least one egg
    Jose G.

    Mostly ok, nothing great. I don't think I can recommend this place over a Denny's or ihop, definitely not over a Waffle House. My wife was craving a monte Cristo and we couldn't decide where to eat, this place seemed like an old school diner so we stopped by. Turns out they don't have a monte cristo option, she for a fiesta omelette I think it's called, tons and tons of crushed tomato on top, way too much. They call this salsa. My daughter had the silver dollar pancakes which were good, but this order come with bacon but no eggs. Kind of weak. My son liked his chicken fingers. I felt extra hungry so I ordered the chicken fried steak breakfast, it was cooked perfectly. Often my eggs over medium are not cooked right. The portion was good, but the flavor was missing, even the gravy and biscuits were very very bland. The hash browns were basically mashed potatoes. I doused everything in cholula and still the blandest chicken fried steak with gravy I've ever had. Save some money and time go to an ihop it just as good or better. The waitress while nice, never refilled our water, didn't give my kids straws and the place wasn't too busy. I made change at the counter for my kids to get something from the quarter machine, I paid my tab and tipped the waitress (about 20%). A few minutes later she meets us at the door and thinks we either stiffed her the tip or someone took it off the table, had to remind her I gave her cash. Very awkward.

I got what I originally thought was a pretty advanced virtual operator. We went through all of the paces about my reservation. Then when I said it was a party of 10, it cut me off and said that the limit was eight and that I needed to call the restaurant directly to make my reservation. It gave me a number to call, which just so happened to be the actual number I was already connected to and hung up on me. I called the number again. This time I told it that I wanted to speak with a human being. It checked to see if anyone was available, apologized, and told me to call back later before asking if I needed anything else. I said I was trying to speak with someone about a reservation for 10 people. It told me it could help me with the reservation and went through the whole process again. Then it said it would check for availability. It told me there was availability, but that it would need to be confirmed with someone. Once again, no one was available. I told it I was getting really frustrated. It suggested that I book a table for eight and call back later to adjust it. I did that. I called again on Sunday and got the same virtual run around. Finally, after three tries, I was given an email address. I sent an email to someone named Adam at 1:30 pm, but never got a response. On Monday, not having heard back, I called again. I got the same run around. This time the virtual operator actually told me that I should just drive over to the restaurant to talk to the manager about my reservation since the number is busy. I called one last time at 1:41 PM on Monday. This time, the virtual assistant inexplicably asked me if I wanted to leave a message! Before, when I said I wanted to leave a message, it told me that it was not possible. I left a message, but never did hear back. When I was headed to bed late Monday night, I decided to look at the menu again. But, because the restaurant was already closed, it wouldn't even let me see the offerings. I decided at that very moment that I had had enough of Embers. I planned to call every one of my people and tell them our luncheon was canceled. This morning, I had cooled off a bit and decided to just show up and hope for the best. Now, I'll actually review the restaurant. When I walked in and joined three of my party who had already arrived, a young man asked me how many people were in my party before I could even mention my reservation. He smiled and said no problem, walked across the dining room, and put some tables together for our group. Then he led us to our chairs and morphed into our server for the rest of our visit. His name was Justin, and he alone redeemed the restaurant in my eyes. He was a terrific server- polite, attentive, patient, and very helpful. When we ordered, only two of us chose the same thing. We got the grilled meatloaf. Meatloaf is my favorite food, and this did not disappoint. It was crispy from grilling, very lightly glazed in BBQ sauce, nice and juicy, and packed with flavor. The mashed potatoes turned out to be the loaded kind, and were a perfect side. The green beans were cooked perfectly, but I wished they had a little bacon in them. Everyone enjoyed their food. I didn't hear one negative comment from them. I thought everything I actually could see from my vantage point looked amazing. I definitely have to try the ribs the next time I go. And trust me... Thanks to Justin's excellent service and the wonderful food, I will forget about the phone issue. But, I am deducting one star because of it. I hope Adam, whoever he turns out to be, reads this and realizes that the restaurant's phone system needs some tweaking. Not everyone would be as forgiving as I almost wasn't!

It's in a shopping center with plenty of parking and I've heard it used to be a pizza place. My boss told me the tortilla soup is fantastic, but I haven't tried it. I've had the blue cheese burger and the mushroom Swiss burger. Both were good, but the blue cheese burger was incredible. My wife had the basic cheeseburger and ate the whole thing, which she doesn't do. The chips and the fries are ok. I wouldn't consider them a "burger place" but the burgers are great!

We've never had bad service, a long wait, or any issues with our food every time we've come. The orchard sandwich was new for me this time and once again, 10/10. I loved the combination of the turkey with the crisp apples and the slight sweetness of the maple dressing. I love that they give you the option to change the bread types, I switched mine and I feel like it made it even better because that sandwich was packed and every flavor stood out instead of being majority bread. The pasta salad was also really good, my daughter ended up devouring it which shocked us because tomato soup is her favorite. If you're looking for a good lunch spot that's worth every penny, this is the place. Can't wait to go back next month.
