Jim's is the place to go for breakfast in Alameda. Period. The place is crazy busy all of the time, which lets you know how satisfying the food is. There is free coffee outside on the weekends for those who have to wait. There is something for everyone on the extensive menu. My favorite ""sin"" is the chicken fried steak and eggs with fruit on the side. There is a large selection of omelettes, french toast, waffles, as well as healthier stuff like salads. The staff are super friendly and very efficient, especially the man who oversees the waiting list. We haven't tried dinner there yet - they now serve beer and wine, but the selections look rather mainstream. I would like to see some Greek specialties on the menu that honor the family's heritage.
Pros: Variety, delicious diner food, Opa!
Cons: Noise, Too popular!
