Bad Jimmy's — Restaurant in Phoenix

!!!!!! WARNING !!!!there are WALNUTS in the veggie patty. Just had one and I am currently experiencing an allergic reaction. They are lucky someone hasn’t ended up in the hospital as a result of them not having that disclosed ANYWHERE on their menu. The negligence of a restaurant to not tell their customers that. Relieved I realized this after a couple bites… and so glad I’m hopefully the only person who has had a reaction and it wasn’t someone else or a child.

*I am aware it’s my responsibility, I am also aware that restaurants currently are not required to do so by law. However it is partly your responsibility as well if you care about the customers supporting your business. There are people who are not aware of their own allergies such as children or people trying new foods. I’m not thinking at all that there are nuts present in a veggie patty as much as I have had them over the years. Also that law has changed before when it resulted in the hospitalization of a person or the death of a person. If you care about your customers then you would list the leading and most severe allergens that are present in your food. Just call it the walnut veggie burger or something. An apology for me currently feeling terrible after having your food would also be nice. Thank you and I hope you guys do better in the future. FDA also says in their food code that allergens should be listed even though it is not required by law. What would that cost you an extra 50 cents per menu or something? or $20 for a sign. Incredibly negligent as a restaurant as I previously stated. Also tipped your employees very well and were still kind to them after letting them know...

Alright, some of you know I'm a little bit of a foodie. Tonight we got a chance to visit @badjimmys and let me say this, I'm probably going back tomorrow.... It is insanely good. Without a doubt one of if not the best burger spots I have been to, anywhere. Not just Phoenix, anywhere that I have ever been. They absolutely kill it. You can tell before you even get into this place by the amazing scent of sizzling patties that engulf the parking lot and surrounding area. Seriously, we parked our car and immediately everyone knew we had found the spot. When you walk in the vibe is chill and inviting. A simple menu made from love and a cool staff make ordering a breeze. Then grab a cocktail, play some pinball and wait for your little piece of heaven to arrive. The back patio with its city skyline views and wall of murals was a great place to enjoy ours. The burgers came out hot and fresh, with so much flavor you immediately ask yourself, should have ordered two? I had heard the hype, now I'm a believer! And it doesn't stop there, the fries, the drinks, the ice cream is all enough to write home about. Some places you go to and have a good burger.. You go to Bad Jimmy's and want to take your family there, your friends, people from out of town, people you don't even know!! It's that good!! Ok, you have been told it is now in your hands to find the Red Neon sign that will make you a...

Bad Jimmy’s— a burger joint with a “Back to the Future” aura, but with “back to McDonald’s” prices.

As excited as one can be trying a new food joint, that light was dimmed immensely by the attitude of the cashier. It almost felt like it was an inconvenience to place my order. I placed my order, and as I am doing so, the crew behind the counter give you a blank stare— almost as if you don’t belong. There also seemed to be an unofficial dress code, and granted when one is in downtown Phoenix, you have to dress to impress however, this places stares you down. I could easily walk into say Matt’s down the street, or even the Henry with shorts and a t-shirt, and I would probably feel more comfortable there than here. Perhaps I was thinking it too much, but oh well.

I was served my food almost 20 minutes later, and to be honest with you, I was impressed. The flavor of the burger was good, the seasoning of the waffle fries was spot on, and they had a variety of soft drinks that you could refill on until your bladder can no longer take it. Remember, stock up on ketchup because you want sauce? Almost $3 extra per cup.

As I was leaving the place, I couldn’t get the question out of my mind: would I come back again? The answer? Maybe. Don’t get me wrong, the food is good, but not for a repetitive visit unless you want to keep transferring from savings...
