My husband, daughter and I went to Jimbo's about 3 weeks ago (in June '08) and I have to say this was the absolute WORST dining experience I have ever had! First, the front entrance looked dirty, when I put my hand on the top of the hostess counter, it felt greasy. The whole place needs a good old fashioned cleaning. Secondly, we visited during one of the hottest days in June, so we wanted to go out for dinner to cool off. Well, Jimbo's either didn't pay their AC bill or decided to NOT put the AC on because it was brutally hot in there. We were taken to the front room (that overlooks the street) and they are clearly undergoing some sort of construction because wires were exposed, drywall was not replaced, etc. Our waitress came over (never introduced herself) and took our drink orders. The Coke was flat, and my 5 year old spilled her Coke. I found our waitress at the server stand and said she'd spilled her Coke and could I have something to clean it up with. She gave me two, dry, napkins (not a wet towel or anything) and sent me on my way. She didn't follow me back to the table to help! Needless to say, these two napkins didn't help, so we took some more napkins off other empty tables. The waitress came to our table and told us to "just leave it; I'll clean it up after". Um, excuse me...did you happen to notice I've got COKE all over the table? She then came back with Purell. Sure, whatever. When the food finally arrived, I couldn't eat my Fried Clams since they had a really odd taste to them. My husband's picatta was more like gruel as it was so doused in sauce that you really couldn't taste anything. Even my daughter's kid's meal was gross, and she'll eat anything. I took my daughter to the bathroom and all the lights were out--very creepy. The bathroom was disgusting and didn't feel like anyone had attended to it in a while. All in all, Jimbo's is a place that should be visited by the board of health and shut down for a complete and total overhaul. NEVER again!
Pros: None...only if they tore it down and started from scratch
Cons: Too little space to list the plethora of cons
