We absolutely love coming here, the drinks aren't expensive, the food is amazing and Hannah gives the absolute best service! She always takes care of us and takes care of us before we even ask. She knows our drink and food orders by heart now and we feel like we're at home when we're here! read more

My wife and I went out for dinner at Jims. I want to say to start that the service was amazing among the best I have ever had. I ordered the chicken parm dinner with spaghetti. I have to say the food was just ok nothing special and I have had much much better. I would not go back for the chicken parm, But because the service was so good I will go back and try something else. I give the food 2 stars but the service was definetly 5 stars overall give them 3 stars read more

Stopped in for a quick bite, had mild Buffalo wings and chicken sandwich and fries. Service was friendly and efficient, prices were reasonable and the food was served hot and expertly prepared. No wonder the parking lot is always full! read more

Good, not great,reasonably priced food with good choices available. We ordered the chicken and mashed potatoes and the meatball casserole with banana peppers and garlic bread. I liked what we got and plenty of leftovers. If I was in the area, I would order again but I wouldn't go out of my way. Overall good value. Solid 4 stars. read more

Drive past all the time but can't believe I never tried before. Going to definitely add to rotation. Staff is super friendly. Smoked wings were super flavorful and cooked nicely. The $2 taco Tuesday was a bit forgettable but the blackened salmon PGH style salad was cooked to perfection and was a great pairing that I wouldn't have ever thought of. I appreciate the menu options and the daily food specials, so I'll definitely be back to explore the menu more read more

Ehhh wasn't too impressed. Ordered a Cuban sandwich w/ fries and an order of chicken tenders w/ fries for takeout. Cuban was ok. Wasn't terrible, but wasn't anything I'd bother ordering again. Chicken tenders were not good at all. Severely overcooked, burnt oil taste. Dry and chewy. Fries went in the trash. Could have been due to the fact that we ordered takeout and they steamed a bit in the box. Probably better fresh. Feel like I'd have better luck eating at the restaurant. Will have to give this another try at some point in the future. read more

My wife and I look forward to dining at Sunny Jim's every 1-2 times a year we can get back to Pittsburgh, so that made tonight's visit to the tavern with our family particularly disappointing. Truly poor service, and subpar execution in the back of the house. We arrived about 6pm, having decided to go tonight for the Wednesday BBQ special. The kitchen had run out of the special options even by 6:00 (it's obviously popular, I get it), but we didn't find that out until we'd been seated for about 20 minutes and not even received all of our drinks by then (the place wasn't even half full). The server just sort of laughed when she finally told us this. You'd think that when there's a huge color monitor sign outside the restaurant advertising the special - you know, the thing that got us and probably lots of others in the door tonight - there's a reasonable expectation it would still be available by the time you go in, or at the very least, we'd be advised soon after arrival. And the sign was STILL advertising the special when we left 90 minutes later. Why didn't the server tell us this when she first greeted us? Why wasn't the sign changed when the kitchen ran out? Throughout dinner, the server was absent for 15-20 minute intervals, so it was hard to let her know about mistakes in our orders, and when I tried to catch her attention once to get a water refill, she jumped like she'd never seen me before. Meanwhile, we noticed two other servers were taking care of fewer tables in the room and making the rounds much quicker. A couple of us ordered the strawberry salad with feta and bacon. The feta was absent from both, and so we asked the server about it. After about 20 minutes, we FINALLY saw the server again, had to flag her down before passing up our table again, and remind her about the feta. She again chuckled and said, oh yeah, they ran out of it. (Not sure why that was funny.) WHY didn't the kitchen advise the server of this, so she could offer us a substitution or some other option? That is such a simple and routine function for a server. There were other errors - wrong dressing brought with another salad, a burger cooked well-done when ordered medium, slow/forgotten water refills. Simple stuff that shouldn't be hard to get right, and individually, not the worst thing if missed. But the sum of all problems tonight made for a pretty awful experience. After a certain number of mistakes, it was obvious there was no point in calling them out. Again, we have always looked forward to our visits to the tavern, for the great food, atmosphere, and service. But if our experience tonight reflects the new standard of service and quality at Sunny Jim's, we definitely won't be back. read more

Hubby and I use Sunny Jim's as a reliable post-church lunch when we want American bar food and sports on the telly. We recently returned to catch the Wimbledon men's final. Looking back at the photos I've uploaded, it appears that I've ordered the chicken panini with mixed vegetables before. The veg are always over cooked but flavored well. However, this time the panini was a revelation: I found it smoky, complex, and interesting. "That's what I thought the first time I saw you," replied my husband, when I described what I was tasting. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why we've been together for more than two decades. read more

Service was slow. I ordered the pulled pork and porgies. The pulled pork was ok but very dry. The porgies were ok but had melted cheese on top. Service was slow. read more

The service is great Their fried chicken is excellent. We had a good time and I will definitely come back. It's a pretty big restaurant and holds a large crowd read more

I can't tell you my disappointment tonight. Waited all day to go for prime rib which started at 5. Was there at 545 no prime rib. Waitress says they run out all the time. Ordered other stuff. Meals came out at all different times my son's was 15 minutes after ours. Potatoes not hot. Jus bad experience read more

Sunny Jim's is the kind of dive bar you want in your neighborhood. Smoked pork and pierogies hit the spot, the vibe was easy and low key, and it just feels like a place you want to hang around in. Pretty solid all the way through. I'm glad it's right down the road because I'll definitely be back. read more

Solid 4 stars. IPA fish was very crisp, French fries fresh and very crisp, burger had fresh veggies. Meatball casserole was more a spaghetti as it didn't seem baked. Service was great (short blonde girl). Dining room ambiance was pretty. Bar area has very limited seating for happy hour. Overall, this was a positive, solid experience and we will return. read more

Tried the Friday Night Prime Rib Dinner. The beef was flavorful but was a little tough. I trimmed a lot of fat off, but I guess that is expected. The dinner comes with two sides. I chose the zucchini/squash medley which also had tomato, which appeared to have been prep cooked and not very good. The baked potato was one of the best I've ever had. The price was reasonable and the service was excellent. Overall I give it 3 stars because the meal was average read more

Not the same restaurant it used to be to be. I tried and tried but I just can't go back. Food is average at best and staff could learn some manners. Heard the owners daughter call a couple AH's. Wow. That was all we needed to say average Food at best bad staff won't be back read more

The food was absolutely amazing! Rating 5 The service was absolutely horrible! Rating 0 Originally ordered ham and turkey sandwich and the rib and wing special. After ordering it took the waitress almost 15 minutes to tell us that the ribs were unavailable. Ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich instead. Food took about 20 minutes to come out never saw the waitress once to refill drinks or see how we were doing. After the food came out which was delicious we never saw the waitress again. I had to go to the bar to ask the bartender for a check. This was unacceptable as we had places to go. Another waitress brought out the check and it was $28 and she took our credit card. All of a sudden our missing waitress shows up and takes the credit card from the other waitress and charges us $33. In looking at the two checks, apparently they forgot to charge for one drink. Our missing waitress charged us for two drinks, even though we only ordered one drink and a water. Sunny Jim's find waitresses that want to be there! Even with average service, I would've rated your restaurant a 5. read more

One of the best fish sandwiches around during Lent! What's even better is the Fried Chicken Platter. You will not be disappointed! Servers are always working hard to keep up with the busy dining room. Restaurant is well lit and is built over a creek! Outdoor dining area is ver nice as well. read more

Great wings and a pretty solid Mother's Day brunch. Loved the lay out. Nice mix of old times and elegant

Would be 4 star based on the food typically.. But the last 5 (!!!!!!!!) takeout orders have been missing items. Not difficult orders. Just always short a side of fries or chicken tenders. About to be done trying. So annoying to keep paying for food I don't receive, but getting an extra side of disappointment. read more

Stopped at Sunny Jim's on Camp Horne Rd. for lunch and to use a gift card that we had been given about a year or so ago. When the bill came we were told that the gift card was old and no longer valid. A year old with no expiration date??? When we asked why, we were told their system wouldn't process it. Again we noted that there wasn't an expiration date on the card and pointed out that there is a federal law that states if there is no expiration date, the card IS valid and must be accepted. There wasn't a manager available, so we told the employee who addressed our concern and stated that she is the owner's daughter, that we would pay the difference between the gift card balance & the bill's total, which we did. She then stated that the waitress would be responsible for the gift card amount if we didn't pay. We then pointed out, since Sunny Jim's received the money for the gift card in the first place, it would be wrong for them to make the waitress pay it, aside from the fact that this is an egregious business practice on the part of Sunny Jim's. As we were heading to the door and she was returning to the kitchen, she loudly remarked to anyone in earshot that we were a-holes & next time we should go to McDonald's. The jokes on her because there won't be a next time. read more

We've been meaning to go to Sunny Jim's for ages. Friends told us about their zucchini fries. If you like zucchini, the zucchini fries are wonderful! The breading is very light and the zucchini is good. The burgers/sandwiches we got there were also good. Service was very good until near the end. We'll definitely go back! read more

Fast and friendly service, nice outside dining area. The food is delicious especially the smoked wings.

The food was really good. Be here a few times now . The wings and sandwiches bring me back

Really enjoyed this stop. The portions were great. The food was really good and the prices are even better! No doubt I would go back. Staff was friendly and efficient. Another enjoyable atmosphere for a date or for the entire family. read more

Decent food at okay prices. This place is extremely popular in the area, and I can understand why, but the food isn't really something worth writing home about. I ordered online on Uber Eats and got to try the cheesesteak/hoagie and a side of coleslaw. You get to order one of many sides for free along with your order of an entree or a sandwich. A few of the potential side options include soup (for an up charge), cottage cheese, apple sauce, fries, chips, baked potatoes, vegetables, salad, and so on. I thought the coleslaw was quite good. Creamy, vibrant, and just overall very satisfying. Getting it as a free side was nice. It was very creamy but a bit sweet as well (also some carrots). The steak hoagie was pretty substandard. It did not contain much cheese, and the little bit of cheese it did have was not very flavorful. They also did not have mushrooms. The bread was thick and not that toasty. The steak was chewy and relatively flavorless. Price was okay for the portion. All in all, the food wasn't that great, but it wasn't bad either. I thought they made a great coleslaw and the portion was fantastic for that slaw! Definitely recommend that. But, the hoagie itself wasn't that flavorful. read more

We stopped for dinner on a Wednesday night. It was busy but not so much that we had to wait to be seated. We were greeted and seated right away. I ordered the Sunny burger with fries. Everything came out quickly and looked and tasted great. Everything from our waitress to food and getting and paying the check went perfectly and our meal was good at a reasonable price. We will definitely be back. read more

We had a great time here on Sunday. Their outside eating area is very well done! We don't live in Pittsburgh anymore and didn't realize they had recently had a fire, but they did a great job with redecorating the inside area as well. Husband had a huge burger which he said was delicious, son had a quesadilla,and I had the homemade meatball casserole. We really miss PA and Sunny Jim's was a great start showing our son the Burgh! read more

Horrible service took over an hour to get our food. Waitress stayed in kitchen, couldn't even get a reil. Hated it.

First time. We will go back again. The side dish, vegetable was delicious! Nice big booths. Good service.

I could not order on Meatloaf Monday as they do not answer their phone and need a delivery service

We ordered muscles they were horrible tasted like rubber.we got only one tiny salad. I was very displeased.

If you're looking for a nice place in Pittsburgh with an outdoor patio, look not further. The patio area is beautiful, and quaint. The food is always delicious! Don't forget to try the wings. Drinks and food are good and cheap. read more

Gotta say service in the bar leaves much to be desired. Not once did one of the bartendrrs ,/ waitresses ask how our food was or do we need anything..we are women and were totally ignored. Oops the new girl came by...food very yummy! Drinks perfect! I will return and hope service is better. read more

I love sunny jims. Great food and a fun atmosphere. The wait staff is friendly. Try the fish sandwich. One of the best in the Burgh! read more

Food was bland and the hostess was weirdly mean. The waitress was lovely but the hostess who threw us into a crooked table in the middle of the room just ruined it. read more

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Very attentive and quick to help out. Food was great and portions are large!

Stopped here for lunch after a couple of hours shopping in Pittsburgh. Had a fish sandwich and a baked Italian hoagie. Both were very good. The inside looks like it's been remodeled based on older reviews so it's nice and clear inside. Wait staff was very nice too. read more

DON'T GO! I could give ZERO stars I would We reserved a party of 20 Private room (very nice ) plastic uncovered tables? The service was AWFUL Disorganized, rude and unprepared round 1 - - 6 meals - COLD round 2 - 2 meals If your waiting for round 3 ...so were we... In an hour and a half we received 18 meals of 20 At least the last 2 were hot ..unlike everyone else's The worst part was when asked about orders the waitress (assisting outer main waitress) started yelling " we're getting slammed, it's not our fault, I'm just trying to help ...I commented is that our fault? And she began to get more rude and aggravated The whole party had to respond ...leave!" It was the worse food and service I have ever experienced read more
