I have been to Crazy Jim's twice and both times have enjoyed my meal. The first time I had a gyro sandwich which was delicious (their pita is soft and fresh!); the second time I ordered a daily special which was grilled chicken and hummus. The hummus and pita was the stand-out for me along with some fresh cucumber and olives - fresh and tasty! Definitely a downtown hangout for folks who work in the area. You can order to go, call ahead and pick-up your order, or sit and enjoy a meal in the dining area. You'll be made to feel right at home if you do! I highly recommend.

The stuffed grape leaves and hummus platter is a perfect light but filling lunch. Pro tip: if they offer extra pita with your order, say yes. Great service, with the ability to get in and out in relatively quickly as long as they aren't too packed. They also have a to go counter, although I always prefer to sit. Parking in the area is typical downtown. It's close to the light rail and all the courts. The prices are on the cheaper side for a sit down restaurant in the area. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a shot.

Now let's get to the eating. Oh by the way, you can order half a sandwich if you want to. I just happen to order a whole sandwich. In my case I ordered the Italiano. The bread is toasted and the sandwich was tasty. Had spiced ham, Swiss cheese and salami. The place has had a few changes from what I can recall but still looks pretty much the same. It still is has a lot of loyal customers from the area which is a good thing. The service is great and has a customer friendly atmosphere. Like I mentioned before, plan ahead if you're planning to arrive during the lunch crowd.

The prices are superb, and it is general cafe food. You can expect wraps, sandwiches, salads, hotdogs, and the like. There are appetizers as well. The menu is extensive. This is a great cafe to go to for lunch or brunch. I had an excellent hot dog recently that was smothered in toppings and it was oversized, just for a price around $5.00. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a quick bite to eat and wants a decent price. Also, the wait staff and owner are very friendly and will listen to your needs.

She came out crying and mad at one of the owners or supervisors (not sure) I could recognize him if I had to. Then she walked out crying. And I was trying to console her, and help her calm down. She didn't speak, she grabbed her things and left. The person she was speaking to came towards me with my order of food for my family. He mentioned "she's crazy", and hasn't been doing well all morning, I asked her to do something and she cussed me out". I understand that wasn't nice of her and maybe from her point of view she was mad because it's been escalating for a while, and I how it's hard to find quality people to work in a restaurant, however if a manager is comfortable to tell a person that he's never met before that his employee is "crazy" but talking directly to a first time customer about the incident with his employee is 100 % unprofessional ! And uncalled for to treat his employee like this. Maybe his employee was having a bad day !! Any chance to have compassion ? No, none of that was expressed. Wow what an experience in this restaurant ! Food is great but not interested in drama. On either side of management or employees. Good luck. Wont be interested in returning to see more.

We came here for Brunch on Thanksgiving. We arrived around 10:15am and the place was not busy at…read moreall yet. It was the perfect time for a leisurely family breakfast. This was our first visit and we were pleasantly surprised! The restaurant is located in downtown phoenix. The signs can be seen from the streets but figuring out which parking structure to use was a little confusing for us for this first visit. If you find the correct parking structure (off of 2nd street) you can get your parking validated by the restaurant when you're finished eating. As we were seated, we were greeted with a fresh basket of warm praline corn muffins. They were fantastic. Don't sleep on those! We had a veritable smorgasbord! At the table, we ordered shrimp with grits, chicken and waffles with pecan praline sauce and fresh hot syrup (which for the record, came with three actual full chicken wings,... if you order chicken and waffles and they give you any less than actual full chicken wings they are imposters! This is the way the original soul food recipe started many years ago, do yourself a favor and don't settle for anything less!). We also had cheesy grits with scrambled eggs with cheese and andouille sausage. All the food was excellent, freshly prepared and perfectly executed on all points. The restaurant itself feels like a casual breakfast joint. The kind you might find on triple D with Guy Fieri. Everything I saw was clean and comfortable. They had both outdoor and indoor dining areas available. Our server was kind, courteous and helpful. I thought it was interesting that we were invited to help ourselves to Refills on our own coffee at a coffee station located near the counter. That was a new experience for me. I am currently temporarily wheelchair bound so if I was by myself, it might be a concern but thankfully, I very rarely go out to eat by myself so it's not a problem that I anticipate having in the future. We were going to go to a fancy Thanksgiving brunch, that would have cost us hundreds of dollars but we changed our mind at the last minute. This whole meal only cost an average of $20 a person and it met, and or exceeded my expectations in every way....and that's what's up! I will definitely come back here again. I look forward to visiting this place frequently and maybe using it as a great location near downtown where I can have business meetings or casual conversations with clients and friends. Although it should be noted that they are not open late so a good place for breakfast lunch or brunch but if you're looking for dinner plans, you may wanna look somewhere else.

So croissants were the goal and I scored on that decision. The first time I came in I opted to sample a couple varieties to determine if they were what were needed for a special occasion... ...my Bday luncheon with the PC (Prosecco Club). The croissants were as anticipated -flaky, buttery, fluffy Traditional croissant, and the other a Chocolate croissant - flaky crust, buttery, dark chocolate that oozed slightly creating a finger linking mess I didn't regret. Came back a few days later to grab one for hubby but none are available until Thursday through Sunday. Alas, I did have option to special order some for event and was not restricted to ordering a full dozen of one flavor or anything. The lady that answered all my questions was able to answer all my questions, take my order, and took my number to confirm my order and pick up time the day prior. Really great customer service. When I arrived to pick up my order I got there more than a half hour early and my order was packaged and waiting. Same lady that took my order even did me a favor my writing the flavors of the filled croissants on top of the box. Can not wait to come back and have brunch. What a great change from the routine options, and in the most unexpected locations.
