The menu includes all of your favorites, including eggs, hash browns, pancakes, waffles, and omelets. However, the combo platters are where Jimmy’s really shines. Almost all of the meals come with a surplus of sides, such as bacon, sausages, home fries, corned beef hash, and more. Pair your meal with a refreshing cup of orange or grapefruit juice, or try a rich cup of coffee. Jimmy’s also has a kids’ menu, which includes cereal, bagels, hot chocolate, and milk.
