Jimmy's Kitchen and Bar

Very pleasant experience! You don't have to wait until Thanksgiving for turkey. This was the best open faced turkey sandwich I have ever had. I'm a big fan! Atmosphere is comfortable with dim lighting. Service, food and martinis were all fabulous. Can't wait to come back.

Yikes! Came here for a nice lunch date with my wife in a Saturday. I knew we were in trouble when the parking lot was empty, should have listened to my gut and went somewhere else. Any way appetizers we had spinach dip and Brussels. The spinach dip was cold but the bead was decent. Brussels were pretty bland and just ok. Entrees were terrible, steak sandwich was packed with so many onions and half the meat was inedible. My wife’s walleye had huge chunks of uncooked batter and she only ate the ends of each piece. Big waste of money stay away from this place.

Went here on Thanksgiving to enjoy a margarita. They only had one yet it was pretty good, the place was packed yet not too loud. Would recommend.

Great happy hour drinks and food. Brussel sprouts and Poke Bowl were fabulous. Service was quick as we got there before it got busy and the wait staff was great.

We usually go there for the holiday meal spreads, thanksgiving, Xmas or Easter. Easter is a huge buffet that I highly recommend. The other two are pre-selected items that you only have a couple of choices on. The food overall is pretty good. The Easter buffet is fabulous with everything from prime rib to eggs Benedict. Several items for dessert too. Personally, I think it's a little pricey, about $35 to $40 per person. But you can have as much as you want to eat. The entire staff is top notch and very friendly. Reservations for these events is mandatory.

Thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of our dinner, the Halibut was fantastic and perfectly cooked, steaks were perfectly cooked and I greatly appreciated that they offered anchovies for my caesar salad. Their cocktails were excellent, and their wine pours were generous. Save room for dessert, bread pudding was terrific as was the apple crisp. I highly recommend Jimmy's and will be back again soon!

Food was overcooked and bland, service was abysmal. The food was grossly overpriced for the quality and the dishes we ordered were severely underwhelming. Despite having a reservation, we were sat at a table so laughably small it could have been mistaken as a folding tray table. The hostess was an incompetent child who favored guests that did not have reservations. We only saw our waitress when placing our order and asking for the check, with a substantially long waiting periods to get our drinks and our food. I opted to pay in cash when I got the bill because I didn't want to wait 40 minutes to get my card back. The parking lot alone should have been our first indicator that this place was a joke. Just like our table, cramped and uncomfortable. Unless you are old, white, and enjoy bad cooking, I would not recommend coming here. This restaurant is not welcoming to anyone who doesn't fit within that demographic.

I know we went here for corporate function, but it seems like everybody that I ask about where to go, it's like 9 out of 10 say Jimmy. And I keep encountering people here too. That speak volume 5o how populate this place is. Really great food, atmosphere and selection. Can't go wrong!

Got reservations on My Table for New Year's Eve, so it was a full house. It was very snowy and the dedicated parking lot was full, we fortunately found a spot as someone left. Decor and environment were very festive, the place seemed to be hopping. We were quickly seated, it was cold but there was no place for coats. We sat on our heavy jackets. Our server was very busy but friendly and attentive. The menu focuses on seafood and steaks, but has a wide selection and something for everyone. Lots of choices for different times of the day and your mood make it suitable for any occasion. Daily and holiday specials are worth checking out. Started with drinks and an artichoke dip dish. It was served in a small skillet but didn't make it for pics, it was very tasty with the toasty bread. Next came small mixed salads. They were very good, but the dressing served on the side could have been more generous. Holiday specials we tried included Prime Rib and Salmon, also selected the Fillet Salad and Ribeye dinners. Dinners included choice of potato, I was very happy with my au gratin choice. I was very pleasantly surprised and would definitely recommend a night out at Jimmy's!

Went to Jimmys Kitchen and Bar for Restaurant week and overall left very happy. Their offering was a 3 course for $42.95 which included soup/salad as a starter, steak or seafood as entree and a range of choices for the dessert. From the beginning I had the clam chowder, which was very creamy, and flavorful. It could use some more chunks of potato and clam to push itself towards a 5/5. Then came out some drinks, I ordered an old fashioned which was honestly a bit meh. Didn't really have curb appeal in the visuals, nor sweetness really. Kind of tasted a bit like watered down whiskey. Then came the bread basket. Excellent whipped butter and freshly baked bread When the entrees came out I was impressed it all came out on a cast iron pan as it kept the whole dinner nice and warm throughout my entire experience. The steak that came with for restaurant week was a 9 Oz manhattan steak. I asked for it to be cooked medium rare and medium rare was what I got! It was cooked to perfection and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Seasoning and char on the steak were also to my liking. The au gratin potatoes and veggies that come with were also a nice touch and were cooked just right. Last piece of the meal was the bread putting. The ice cream on top being from Sebastian Joe's was exactly what you'd expect, delicious and creamy. The bread putting itself I thought could use a bit more soaking to get it nice and soft and less firm, but the flavor was still there. Overall I give this experience 5/5, food was excellent especially the perfectly cooked steak, and the service was thorough. Honestly, I would come back just for the steak.

Once again, we enjoyed a very nice dinner for 5 tonight at Jimmy's. The hostess's were spot on with our reservation. Thank you. We received a wonderful table location that was a bit quieter than the rest of the establishment with a perfect chill server who vibed with our tempo of ordering. Halibut is in season right now and fresh ( not frozen) and we all took advantage of that and ordered off the special menue. I had the lobster/halibut risotto and really enjoy it.

Kelsey was a very attentive server in a very busy setting. The happy hour menu is amazing, but we were in the dining room this time. Food is consistently good with many options. We all enjoyed our choices, but the shrimp needed less time on the grill. Love the homey vibes. I'll be back.

Ordered the Prime Rib French Dip $18.95. What a disappointment. Couldn't be more than 3 ounces of cold meat on a French roll. Which was NOT toasted per the menu. I'm sure the Jimmy Burger would have been more tasty. I hate restaurants that weigh their meat portions rather than delivering a solid sandwich. I've been a Jimmy's Kitchen customer for over 19 years. 2 stars this visit.

This place was fabulous!!! We sat in the cozy, fireplace room and ordered the filet and prime rib special with sides of au gratin potatoes, cheesy brussel sprouts and green beans. I'm still dreaming of the juicy prime rib dipped in the luxurious au jus! I'd come back just to experience that again! Paired with an extra dirty martini, it was the perfect steak dinner date night! Our server was super nice and attentive. I definitely recommend Jimmy's Kitchen and Bar for a nice, special outing!

First time here and will be the first of many. I came Jimmy's during restaurant week and was note disappointed. The service was superb seriously the waitress was a superstar and helped us with all our questions and needs. The food was also amazing, not only do they start you off with bread and butter but they have some huge main course portions; seriously look at the picture, it's massive! Jimmys is hidden gem that I am glad I found and will make sure to continue to show love!

Food was quite good! Service was slow at 2pm. We had the food below plus brownie sundae and the daily cobbler. They were really very good even though we had lower expectations.

Hhhm, there were some bright spots but for the most part the three of us all left a little disappointed. For fish and Chips, decent fish and really good fries - but not actually UK-style chips. I had French Onion soup which was really good and the halibut which was cooked to death requiring a knife and fork to get through the shoe leather exterior. Caesar Salad was pale food service chopped lettuce, but ok flavor. Filet Mignon was slightly above average.

Have been here for lunch many times and the food has is excellent. Happy hour deals cannot be beat, just remember to ask for happy hour seating if you're not in the bar. Unfortunately I recently tried dinner at Jimmy's and the two apps and two entrees were awful. I think they were too busy to create the fabulous dishes I had previously enjoyed at lunch. I recommend sticking to lunches at this establishment. Expensive learning experience. Service is always superb no matter what time of day.

Ambience is pretty family oriented. Food is OK but not great. We started with the meatball appetizer and the white wine mussels. The mussels were clearly the better of the two and we would recommend them. We wouldn't order the meatballs again. Split the BLT wedge after having it chopped and it was definitely enough for two people. The salad would be way too big for one person. For entrées, we had the pan seared walleye. Pretty tasty and I would have that again. Also sampled the beef stroganoff, which was also pretty good. For dessert, we tried the fruit cobbler and it was kind of a bust for us. The highlight of the night was the service by Shelly. She was helpful, had great suggestions on the menu, and attentive.

Twice or three times I have been here, have been exclusively business occasions, and I was able to witness other events of similar nature, where people were mainly having business conversations, and the establishment was packed because of such. I think the fact that it is located in Minnetonka, amongst many company buildings, made it a convenient location for such. However, from a food perspective, I must say that everything fell short. I didn't take many photos due to not wanting to disrupt the occasion with my foodie habits, but I have had the Brussels sprouts and the salmon piccata. I have had the prime steakhouse meatloaf 2 years ago when first visiting this establishment. From my perspective, all the meat was very dry to the point that it started shrinking, and every bit of wetness on the meat was oil rather than the meat itself being juicy. The sides were also very small and sloppily placed, although I don't have a photo to showcase such. I have had the green beans and other veggies (2 years ago) as sides and the amount was tiny and the veggies looked quite pathetic. Apologies for the word choice here The Brussel sprouts appetizer were extremely dry, which I understood that frying could do such, but even then it was very much overcooked. They tasted bitter and way too crispy, and the sizes have shrunk as well. The parmesan cheese on the top, which was for sure the cheap kind instead of Parmegiano Reggiano, did not offer an extra layer of pleasant taste for the Brussel sprouts. Unfortunately I do not recommend those who want to visit for pleasantries or any other purposes where they're obligated to attend for professional purposes.

I love the food. Service was good and everything was delicious. Eloise and Shelly you're amazing.

Met a colleague here for a lunch meeting. It has a supper club vibe and worked well as a meeting place. I ordered the small BLT Wedge salad. It came with blue cheese, a hard boiled egg and, of course, bacon and tomatoes. I had decided to skip the red onions this time. Everything was fresh and good tasting. Service was excellent. Parking was easy. Nice place for lunch.

I love Jimmy's but I will say I've had a tough time branching out from my favorite dishes due to some inconsistencies with others. I'll start with my favorites: buffalo wings. I am not a wing girl and somehow I am here. The buffalo sauce is house-made and the flavor is out of this world. They are the best wings I have ever had. I also really love their French dip sandwich. The bread is crusty and perfect and I like their au jus. The chicken piccata is great as well and if I'm feeling indulgent, the lobster spinach artichoke dip is a delicious starter. With that said, I don't think the pastas are exciting and the brussels sprouts are dry. For drinks, I recommend ordering a standard cocktail. I have tried nearly all of their specialty cocktails and with the exception of their espresso martini, I have never been that impressed. They are certainly not bad drinks, but they all taste like something I could easily make at home. Wines are good! The best service I get is when I sit at the bar. I don't know why, but when I sit at the high tops and booths in the bar, I find myself hunting for my server once they drop off our food and have even gone up to the bar to order a drink when I couldn't get my server's attention. When I sit in the dining room, I find the servers linger and want to hang out and talk for wayy too long. Idk what's going on! As a former server myself, I always like to be personable with my server but I seem to struggle finding that balance here. Overall we will keep coming back. It's a great place to watch a game, the apps are great, they have an awesome happy hour, good prices, and the vibe is always nice.

I went to Jimmy's for a work lunch with coworkers and it was so good! It was very spacious and not too busy at noon on a Wednesday. We were seated right away and had the best server. She recommended some great options and I ended up choosing the buffalo chicken salad. It was delicious! I would definitely recommend trying this spot!

We went here for restaurant week and the Ny strip was buttery and delicious. Calamari and crab cakes were delicious. The Caesar salad was good although it was a little on the salty side for me. Clam chowder was order by another person. The bread was warm and soft. The atmosphere was great and a nice lowkey restaurant to have great conversations.

Great Food Great Service Great Ambience Great place to bring the family and enjoy a meal together

The appetizer spicy calamari is super good, but we did not taste any spice. Filit Mignon is extremely deciduous. The Rigtoni is very flavorful! Kid's menu has some good items and the price is very reasonable. It's hard to get a table on weekends. You probably will have to wait if you don't have reservation.

Wow! This place has such a warm and beautiful ambiance. The temperature in the building was sweaty despite the air conditioner running, but we made it through (the reason the rating is 4 and not 5). The service was quick and attentive. The server provided us with recommendations which we all thoroughly enjoyed! The food was delicious and portion sizes generous. It was all beautifully plated, too! The parking lot is a bit small and no one seems to know how to stay within the lines - this is an observation from a couple visits.

We have been here 5 plus times, solely because distance wise it's super close and the service continues to be UNDERWHELMING. From rude to mediocre it's consistently disappointing + extremely slow. They definitely cater to a very specific audience. Of all the dishes we've tried the stroganoff is good. Fettuccine Alfredo tastes like pure mushroom soup. Burgers are ok nothing to note. All the steaks can be avoided. Since it's walking distance it ends up being a later opened option other than Yum. Would never make the drive back for anything here.

Food and service are amazing! GREAT place for a meal of French Onion soup with a steak and AuGratin potatoes!

Excellent food, nice atmosphere and great.service. A menu with something for everyone, not so much vegan Steaks, salmon, sides all 10++.

No photos because we were pretty miserable. We were a party of 5 (includes one child in a highchair) trying to celebrate my Mom's birthday. We had a reservation for 5pm on a Sunday. The restaurant quickly filled up and we in turn quickly felt forgotten. Our waitress didn't visit the table enough and our food took an hour to come out of the kitchen. We didn't get bread for the table I saw other parties receiving which was disappointing. The steaks were overcooked, which we let the kitchen know and they end up comping us one of the steaks (thank you!). Nothing stood out as noteworthy and left us pretty sad that we chose this place to celebrate an important milestone. Likely won't be returning in the future.

Service was top tier. The women helping us walked us through the menu for restaurant week, and always checked up on us. She was super sweet! There was also a man and another women who was also very kind and helpful. Food was AMAZING. Catfish was battered well, and the dry aged steak was seasoned SO well. Perfect cook on the meat and there is no complaints. The vibes were beautiful and can fit a large or small party. full review on tiktok @xcyannlee

Very disappointed with Jimmy's. We come to from out of town to relax and enjoy a great dinner. Not tonight. I was expecting a nice cold beer with a hot appetizer of calamari but beer was warm and calamari not even close to hot. Ordered meat loaf for entree and it came burnt and again not even close to hot. Seemed like it was leftover. Beans were very greasy and hard. We decided to quit after dinner and not have dessert. A $75.00 meal. Jimmy you can do much better. We come every year but with this quality we will find somewhere else. A good comment service was excellent.

Looked like a nice place to have dinner and drinks after a round of golf, until a member of our group had their vehicle towed by the owner. 15 people (patrons) were stranded in the parking lot in the same exact situation. The owner was unwilling to listen to his patrons and showed low emotional intelligence and he was escalating this situation from the jump. As a fellow business owners with a clientele, we'll be moving our events and banquets elsewhere. Extremely disappointed how he handled this situation. All signs point to the fact he has a side deal with this towing company: cash only, assurance from employees of the towing company, and a 200% markup compared to other towing businesses in the MSP area.

Jimmy's accommodates out large group of 9 easily and everyone was very happy with their meal with the exception of the prosciutto wrapped Halibut. My adult was very sad that it was not wrapped but instead there were pieces of prosciutto on top of the Halibut. The Halibut was still very good, it was misleading. Still an excellent meal and very comfortable ambiance.

The kitchen was closed at 9:30 on a Friday night. And they're located literally across the road from a large apt building filled with young tenants! The only improvement possible is closing at something resembling a civilized hour like 11pm. In real civilization, kitchens close at 1am or later. And bars at 3 or 4am.

We typically come to Jimmy's once per year to meet family around the holidays. They were busy at 5:30 on a Friday evening but were able to seat our group of five at a table meant for four. My Caesar salad had more dressing than I would have liked. My pasta was decent but not something that I would be excited to order again. We appreciated the bread and butter before our meal. Service was just ok.

We went to the bar for happy hour. Drink and food deals were available until 6 (food must be ordered by 5:45pm). The artichoke dip was a great share! A good wine a beer list--and of course cocktails--made for a happy afternoon!

Let me start by saying I am a bartender and have been in the industry for years. I 100% get we all have bad days, we all end up in the weeds stressed and busy.. so, when I see a bartender going through it I understand completely and feel for them.. but the bartender we got was so unbelievably rude! Just acted like we were a bother to him. If I asked for anything I got a huge sigh and no response. Our beers sat empty waters sat empty. Had to ask other staff members for help. I felt like a huge burden and completely unwelcomed..

Soooo disappointed in Jimmy's Kitchen. I purchased a gift card for my father's 80th birthday on1/15...we are at 17 days later and STILL NO GIFT CARD!!! I bet no one is even looking at processing these since you are required to purchase the gift card through PayPal. DO NOT BUY GIFT CARDS THROUGH JIMMY'S WEBSITE!!! Furthermore, my father went ahead and dined at the restaurant for his very special birthday anyway (without the gift card I was hoping to treat him to) and the walleye he ordered was inedible (extremely fishy) and had to be sent back. What a huge disappointment! I pretty sure you can do better Jimmy's! Now give me my money back!!!

They served Brussels sprouts to guest with us that were burned to a crisp, my filet fettuccine was dry and had gristle in it and the other food in our party was just ok. It was a very disappointing experience. Wont be visiting again.

There is a lot to like about this place and I'll totally be back. I came here with family and our food ranged from okay to excellent, mostly the latter. My uncle and and I ordered meatloaf and chicken piccata, respectively, and we both thought they were exceptionally generous with the portion sizes, particularly the meat, which was really tasty. We also split a couple of burrata salads for the table and those burratas were fantastic. We lingered after eating for a long time because it's a really comfortable, pleasant environment. We noticed other parties having a great time as well, and our server Eloise was knowlegable, fast, friendly, professional, and witty. My aunt didn't like her penne with cheese & chicken much, and I don't think my mashed potatoes were cooked that well. Our desserts were okay but not great. The prices can be high, but we came in on a Sunday at dinnertime, and they have a happy hour dinner special that was a very good deal. They also have what I consider the ideal menu size; they have enough of a selection that there is plenty to choose from, but not so much that it seems like anything isn't well thought-out. The only other issue is that it's pretty noisy; the dining room was nowhere near full, but something about the acoustics of the room really amplifies the crowd noises. I'd give Jimmy's a four-and-a-half stars if I could, and I definitely recommend trying them out if the prices look okay to you. If you're on the fence in that area, come on a Sunday evening and try their happy hour options. If you like meat entrees that don't skimp, you'll probably be very satisfied!

We went on a Sunday and there really wasn't nothing more than a 15 minute wait. The service was promt from the bartenders to the service staff their attentiveness was fantastic. The food came out fairly quick and I ordered the suggested special and was blown away. I can't recommend them highly enough. Dean S

We live in the breadbasket of the US surrounded by farms so why is it so hard to receive a robust green salad? I ordered a classic wedge salad and it was a small salad with yellow wilted lettuce that was bitter. Advertised to have tomatoes and egg : maybe there was 1/2 an egg and a total of one half of a cherry tomato: so disappointing and absolutely not what I hoped for. Service was good however.

We made reservations for 4:00pm on Easter, we were planning on the buffet. I called Saturday afternoon to confirm the buffet meal. I was told there would not be menus available only the buffet. We arrived at 3:50pm. We were told the buffet was over and we had to order from the menu. I called the next day and talked with the manager Ben. I told him what happened and their promotion ad never said what time the buffet ended. Only listed times and prices for those various times. Ben said he would talk to their "District Manager" and call me back. I never heard from Ben. We had always wanted to try their buffet and are very disappointed how this was handled.​

Food, service, and ambiance are amazing. Their happy hour is always superb. I highly recommend this restaurant.

FOOD Wow Just Wow my first time ever being here and the food here surprised me. For the appetizer we got the lobster artichoke dip with bread and a never liked artichoke dip but I demolished it 10/10. For dinner I got the MAC Burger was delicious if you want a classic burger then this would be my choice but it wasn't anything special 9/10. And last but not least the dessert I got the peach cobbler and BOOM the flavor is delicious I also don't like peach cobbler a lot but this changed my MIND the Vanilla bean ice cream with it YUM 10/10! SERVICE The Service here was AMAZING it was my grandma and grandpa birthday and the lady was very kind to us and came out with ice cream for my grandparents. In total I thought this restaurant is a 9/10 Very cool place definitely worth visiting can't wait to come back.

What has happened to Jimmy's Burger! This was my go to Burger had it two beef patties an a great bun with yummy pickles! Now it's a tiny thin burger and no flavor, not the Jimmys beef grind that has always been on the menu, and a more Bun then burger! SO SAD!

Brussel sprouts were amazing!! Service could have been better, ran out Diet Coke a couple times!

Drove from Saint Cloud to eat here with some friends and it was well worth the drive! We ate here Friday night for restaurant week. I made a reservation for 6:30PM and arrived right at that time. Normally you have to wait for a little while to grab a table but they seated us right away! I have to say it was 5 star service and 5 star food. Everyone at the table said their food was delicious! I got the dry age ribeye and it was cooked to perfection and very tasty. The others at the table got Fillet and the Halibut and said it was amazing as well. Our server was very friendly and even though she was busy she was on top of everything. Thank you again for the great time and we hope to be back again some day soon!

Good food (too salty) great Manhattan and wine and nice people - good location but detours messed us up Aug 22 great ambiance

We were visiting For the weekend and happened to be staying in a hotel across the way from this restaurant. Typically when traveling I do extensive research on local places to try but I failed to do so this trip. After a day of sight seeing we were hungry and didn't have a plan. Being that Jimmy's Kitchen and Bar was right across the street we spontaneously gave it a try. It was late afternoon on a Saturday and we did not have a reservation but they were able to seat us right away. For cocktails we each tried a peanut butter old fashioned. They were very good and from there everything we had was delicious. Our server was friendly and accommodating. We learned it was his first night there and he seemed like a seasoned pro! We couldn't be happier with our visit and only wish we lived closer so we could visit again.

We were passing through the area and staying at the neighboring Holiday Inn Express, so we bellied up to the bar to have a drink and some dinner. The bartender got us menus and took our drink orders. He made a dandy martini and my wife got a glass of wine from their ample list. For dinner I had a cheeseburger, which is a flavorful mix of chuck, brisket, and short rib. It is a unique beefy flavor, and I ordered it with fries, that were very crisp, fresh, and flavorful. My wife had the filet mignon skewers; they were OK, but a bit fattier than filet should be. She also ordered a side of Brussels Sprouts, which were delicious....and I don't always like them! They were nicely flavored, tender, and really tasty. Service was consistently good and reasonably attentive and the atmosphere is relaxed and slightly upscale. Overall a real good experience. PS If you are staying at the Holiday Inn Express you can get a discount for dining here - we hadn't checked in, so didn't know that!

Food was horrible the second time in a row. At first, things were great, but they've failed to serve good burgers.

The Meatloaf was exactly what I needed. I arrived without a reservation, but it was early...I was immediately seated. The wait staff was right on hand, and friendly. My Iced Tea was kept full, and flavorful! My dinner arrived very quickly. The gravy pulled the dish together with just enough tang and spice combined. Fresh Green Beans accompanied the potatoes, and frizzled onions. I splurged and topped off the meal with a small brownie sundae. The ice cream really hit the spot. Very nice place, bright, and energetic.

Food is really good! All of us loved what we ordered, burgers are good, caprese salad was great and also the walleye; nice bar area as well; will go back!!
