The food is fresh and real, the portions are enormous (I'm serious, the pork chops and eggs were 3 eggs and two huge chops!), the menu extensive. I've had better hotcakes but this is nice, solid, breakfast fare. Nothing fancy here, but very solid. The line cooks really know their stuff and are happy to accomodate even on the busiest Sunday brunch. But the best thing on the menu? Their Chicken Casear Salad! Housemade dressing, not too garklicky and a full, perfectly grilled, fresh chicken breast for under $10. Tell them to skip the crummy pre-packaged croutons and ask for their bread instead. I dine 5 star pretty often but I still have a Jim's chicken ceasar once a week. It's that good! I enjoy the lack of pretense and none of that hokey fake 50's diner garbage, just solid American meals and some really nice Greek additions.
Pros: Chicken Ceasar! GREAT service, Solid Diner Fare
Cons: A little greasy at times
