I normally love this location of Jimmy the Greek and have never been disappointed! The food is always fresh and made quickly.
However, I went to order food in person shortly after 6:30 and was told that I couldn't have potatoes because it was too close to closing time. (According to Google's hours, 9:00 PM is close). I was told that this rule also applied to their rice.
Normally I completely understand when restaurants have similar rules in place; however, this is the first time I've encountered this rule at this restaurant. Especially since I could physically see the potatoes in the order counter. I can't help but wonder if I ordered via Skip if that rule would still apply, as potatoes and rice were still listed on the app as options. It doesn't make much sense, an hour before I'd definitely understand, but more than two hours before close? Disappointed to say the least, but I'll make sure to go for...
Read moreI usually don’t write bad reviews, but I don’t know what I was served. I ordered the chicken souvlaki dinner, one that I usually get but it was my first time trying jimmy at the Penn Centre.

The chicken was somewhat alright, it was sort of tender but the spices did not taste anything like jimmy the Greeks at all. I asked for a side of hot sauce and again it hard weirdest tasting spices and it was so watered down. I never experienced terrible mall food in my life. I showed the workers how the rice was left uneaten and all they said was sorry. I didn’t want to start a scene so I just left it as is, super...
Read moreThis place has gone downhill the past couple of months. Today I saw them cooking way too many different raw meat products too close to each other. I saw the guy cross contaminate my cooked shrimp with RAW CHICKEN. Never threw it out or said anything to me they just served it to me like nothing happened. If they’re comfortable doing that in front of the guests, God knows what goes on where you can’t see. They also told me they no longer allow for you to get lettuce or any of those toppings on your pitas, even if you offer to pay more for them, which sucks as well. I don’t know why i’d want to buy a pita if i’m not allowed to have the toppings in it.
I shopped here regularly for years but the quality has dropped so badly both with food and staff, that I no longer shop here unless the lines are way too long...
