It's always too crowded, and the food is overrated in my opinion. I thought you had never been to Jim's before. At least that's how our last conversation about it went? And, c'mon Dean, overrated?!? What exactly did you order that was overrated? It's DINER food - no one is trying to put it on the Zagat list next to Aqua or The French Laundry or similar. Still, it's way better than Tillie's - their food basically sucks except for their breakfasts, and also better quality than Ole's, which usually takes longer to get seated because it's smaller. If you had a bad experience, I highly suggest you try it again - they do make great omelettes. I'm going there right now to have their Chile Verde omelette - mmmmm, mmmmm, good!
