Jimmy's Family Restaurant 279 Cambridge Street, Burlington, MA 01803

"Great classic breakfast foods, coffee is hot and bottomless. Service is friendly, feels like family. Diner in the classic sense; small tables, wait staff constantly moving, smiling and conversant."

"This might actually be the worst breakfast place I've ever been to, and I've been to A LOT. I was on a business trip, and they were one of the closer restaurants nearby. When I got there, the waitress was nice and, even though I was by myself, she said I could sit anywhere and pointed to all the tables along the wall and the booths, as well as the counter area. The booths were completely empty (there are 6) so I decided to sit in one of those. I was on my phone when a different lady (I think she's one of the owners) brought me my food and she was nice as well. I was still looking up stuff on my phone for work, so I hadn't really had a chance to start eating yet. About 15 mins later, the same lady who brought my food came by and mentioned that I hadn't touched my food yet (I thought she was just checking to make sure that everything was OK with my food like most waitresses do, even if I didn't get started eating right away). Instead, she was mentioning that I hadn't eaten and that I was by myself and that it was getting busy and they would need the table. Now mind you, this was at 8:30 on a Saturday morning and there was only 1 person at the counter and only 4 of the 6 booths were occupied, counting the one I was using, and none of the 2 person tables along the wall were taken and nobody was even coming in the door at all. When I had mentioned that the lady at the door had told me I could sit anywhere, the owner told me that the lady meant the counter or the tables along the wall. Normally I'm a very big tipper, even if the service or food is ok I normally try to give at least 20-25% tip. Needless to say this was the first time I ever gave a $.30 tip. No one could pay me to go back."

"For such a hole in the wall, one would think their quality would be at a much higher standard! Just had breakfast, coffee is watered down, food was proportionally inconsistent with their higher then average price, atmosphere is weird, cramped seating... And then they reward their visitors with a Cash Only ending, with what I'm sure is a cash grabbing ATM at the door. Of course I will never be back, which is too bad because they could have serious potential with their few unique menue items that I would mind trying, if not for this disappointing experience."

"Our server Janet was absolutely amazing. Total sweetheart! We are in town for the weekend from New York and just happened to stop into this little diner. The food was fantastic and so was the atmosphere! Janet made sure we were taken care of and left with smiles on our faces! The owner, Rita, is very sweet and we all had great conversation! Definitely the best place we have been to our whole trip! Janet, we will see you again in October!! ❤️ With love, Natalie & Evan"

"Classic hometown diner vibes, very friendly and cosy atmosphere with solid breakfast and lunch dishes. The homemade hash was diciois and egg were runny perfectly. I hope it never changes. Cash only but they have an ATM."
