I’m on a hunt to find the best biscuits and gravy, and we went there on a suggestion of a friend. The gravy was really delicious, tasted like sausage. However, the biscuits, those soft, were very flat. Flat. When I was little, my family used to go to Jimmy’s all the time. It has gone through a major renovation since then, very new, very modern. Friendly restaurant. I remember from growing up. My friend ordered the onion rings appetizer. Nice basket of onion rings, could have been more golden. However, he only got the tiniest little cup of ranch dressing to go with this huge basket of onion rings.

Will update after we try the food to give an honest review on how it tastes. However, when I tried to order two orders of wings and asked for all flats, the girl at the register was very friendly and checked with the kitchen. Unfortunately, they said the wings are already premade, so they couldn’t do just flats. I decided not to get the wings since they’re premade and couldn’t accommodate that request.
Update: The French fries were soggy, and both the fries and onion rings tasted like they were fried in old oil. The sandwich was a 3/10 — definitely not worth $18. This was my first time trying this place after living in Santee for eight years, and honestly, I probably won’t be going back.
I will also add the restaurant appeared to be very clean and tidy.

One of the best breakfast spots in Santee! The food is always fresh, delicious, and served with that classic homemade feel. The portions are generous, and the prices are fair. The staff are super friendly and make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. Whether you’re grabbing pancakes, an omelet, or just a good cup of coffee, Jimmy’s never disappoints. Great food, great people, and great vibes — definitely my go-to spot for breakfast! ☕

Jimmy’s Breakfast Place is hands down one of the best breakfast spots I’ve been to. The food was absolutely incredible — fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Every dish that came out was hot, well-presented, and tasted like it was made with real care. You can tell they take pride in what they serve.

What really stood out to me was how clean the entire place is. From the tables to the floors to the restrooms, everything was spotless. That alone makes a huge difference when you’re enjoying a meal.

And the service? Top tier. Lupita went above and beyond. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from the moment we walked in. She made sure everything was perfect, checked on us at just the right times, and had such a positive attitude that it elevated the whole experience.

Great food, clean environment, and outstanding service. I’ll definitely be coming back — and asking for Lupita again. Highly recommend.

After my physical therapy appointment at Sharps hospital days ago (Wednesday 2/5/25, 11am), I was feeling pancakes. I figured, I’m in another city, try something different other than Denny’s. And, so, there he was, looking right at me from across the street – Jimmy’s of Santee.

My partner and I walked in the restaurant, immediately greeted with a warm smile by the hostess.
I had requested for an “ocean view” table (my code word for window ). Got my wish and there we sat, at a firm cushioned booth, with a window. I liked already.

As I looked around the restaurant, I saw modern decor, various dining rooms, spacious aisles, lots of windows and a perfectly pleasant vibe throughout. I thought to myself, I wonder if this place gets lit in the evening (noticing a couple bar areas, one each side of the restaurant). Side note, some pictures on walls wouldn’t hurt.

Our breakfast meals were delicious. The potatoes were surprisingly crispy golden lightly tasty fried potato bites. One of the best I’ve had yet! Our scrambled eggs appeared skimpy, nonetheless, our combo dish was 99 % perfect.

Our server was easy going and on top of things. From his good natured greeting, politeness, attentiveness and patience, he was a 5 star. I forgot his name. Ugh. He read my mind before I asked for the check. “Yes, I would like a to-go box for my potatoes, please,” I replied when he asked me if I needed a box

I also want to give a shout out to Faith, the hostess. Positive and friendly. Such a nice way to start one’s morning as one walks into a restaurant. Her smile’s a hit.

Hey Faith, it’s time to go to Mexico!

My first time at Jimmy’s was a wonderful experience. I would come back again.

I recommend

You really can’t go wrong with any item on the menu here!
Staff are always friendly and on top of everything, even in busy rushes like breakfast and lunch and shift changes! They work together to cover drink refills, orders, food delivery’s, and check ins -so nothing is missed.
The menu has a good variety for whatever mood of food you may be feeling, and it’s always cooked to order without issue.
They have a full sports bar too, several TV’s, and an outside eating area which allows (well behaed) fur babies to dine with you. 😉

Lots of parking, never an issue, easy to get to, great for a quick bit or a longer gathering for a meal.

Have eaten here in the past and always had a decent meal. But this time it was pretty disappointing. We were there in Dec 14 at noon. We ordered breakfast items because we both wanted pancakes. I had the Country Fried Steak entree and my wife ordered the veggie omelet. Service was decent at this point and our food arrived shortly. When our server brought our food, I requested an extra quantity of syrup and she told me she would bring it right away. BUT THAT NEVER HAPPENED as it appears she promptly forgot about it. The restaurant was not overly busy, and as near as I could tell, she only had maybe two additional tables to take care of at the time. But no extra syrup… as I requested, and she acknowledged at the time. My meal was good as far as I could tell (more on that later) and everything tasted fine. My wife was reasonably happy with her omelet although she did feel it was primarily a Spinach Omelet vs a Veggie Omelet (meaning, A LOT of spinach). She ate most of it, but not all, because she tired of so much spinach. But the food was ok. At that point, we paid our server (hadn’t seen her since food delivery), no mention of the requested syrup, and we returned home. Home was about a 15-20 min drive (San Carlos) and when we got home, I immediately had to pay a visit to the bathroom. My stomach was making some not pleasant sounds and my visit to the bathroom was more liquid than solid if you get my drift. IMPORTANT – I did feel ok – but something was not sitting well with my digestive tract. So maybe this was just a one off. As I said, the food did taste fine (other than the over abundance of spinach in my wife’s omelet). Will we return to Jimmy’s in the future, perhaps as we’ve had good meals in the past. But my recent experience does give me pause.

First time trying Jimmy’s of Santee. I was impressed by the quality of the food and found out they make most everything in house. The beef stroganoff was so delicious and the creamy chicken noodle soup. We enjoyed lunch so much we order a deli sandwich for dinner later. Will definitely be returning to try more menu items. Our server was amazing and even drives from Arizona to work there.
