My initial infatuation with Jimmy's has developed into a lasting relationship.
I have a thing for corner stores and diners so the outdated (but clean) decor pleases me greatly. It may not be a 'trendy' spot but I see clientele from every walk of life when I eat here. Families, students, professionals on lunch etc.

Read moreStepping into Jimmy’s Place Restaurant in Coquitlam feels like being transported back to a simpler time. The atmosphere exudes a comfortable, home-style diner vibe, reminiscent of a past era when dining out was all about enjoying good food in a welcoming setting.
The service begins with a self-serve system where you go up to order your meal, with a well-laid-out menu making it easy to choose your favorites. I opted for the three-ingredient omelet with cheese, ham, and mushrooms, while my friend went for a sandwich. The staff, always smiling, contributed to the family-like atmosphere, making us feel right at home.
Now, let’s talk about the food. The three-ingredient omelet was a standout, featuring perfectly scrambled eggs, just the right amount of ham, and delicious cheese. It came with a side of hash browns – perfectly fried and shredded – along with toast and strawberry jam. It was one of the best omelets I’ve ever had. Adding a bit of ketchup elevated the meal even further. Overall, there were no negatives to mention. The food was top-notch, making Jimmy’s Place an ideal spot for anyone seeking a classic “greasy spoon” dining experience.
