Let's start with why they didn't get a fifth star. Because of the high prices for such simple sandwiches. Way over priced. This ain't even Manhattan it's expected there.
But the customer service was great they gave me a sample of the chicken cutlet. Both front of the house service guy and girl were nice.
The mighty door pickle was good the cole slaw really good.Mac salad was not bad but wouldn't get it again.
The the sandwiches were good fresh bread, fresh cold cuts but way over priced.
Over all good experience but WOULD NOT COME BACK here.unless I have Craving for sandwich and I can't find another place.But I think i can find a cheaper just as good a sandwich.
This place is a local favorite – best know for "the works". Get it, you won't be sorry – it's what makes a Jimmy's Hero a Jimmy's Hero. I always go for a turkey and swiss hero with the works – Can't beat it!
Good sandwiches. The place is old school and I love that, but they need a small facelift. Maybe think about creating a menu. The hot pastrami is microwaved, and that says something. $10+ a hero is ok but you gotta offer more.
Consistently delicious sandwiches!
Great bread. fresh ingredients. Worth every penny. Terribly parking.
Go get one! 🙂
The Good : Jimmy's is a neighborhood spot. It's not another lame sushi spot, it's not Uzbeki/Tajiki/Turkmenistani and other former Eastern Soviet bloc cuisine, and it's not Russian food. It's a rare piece of classic Sheepshead Bay Road that hasn't been adulterated by the boring trends of the area. That's a huge relief. It's an old school sandwich shop with familiar options, nice guys behind the counter, and some variety in what is offered. You get your regular cold cuts and you get some rotating hot options like the chicken cutlet hot hero or veal cutlet depending on the day. There's also a vat of daily soup.
The Bad : The price for a hero is outrageous. On what planet is a ham, swiss and mayo with lettuce and tomato worth $10? Especially in this part of Brooklyn, that's way over norm . That could fly for a hot hero, sure, but not a simple cold cut. There are big name delis with fantastic quality meats and other products in way more expensive areas up in North Brooklyn that sell comparable heroes for no more than $7.50. I like Jimmy's and I'm not against coming back if I want a big sandwich on the run without going too far, but man, they really have to re-evaluate their fees.
I want to give this place a 5 so bad for its value to the neighborhood, but I just can't do that. I will be back here time to time; my friends are fans of this place and for a nice lunch outdoors by the water it's a cool place to stock up at, but even they say you'll get way more bang for way less buck a short drive away.
For a coldcut sandwich nobody beats jimmys. The flavor and quality are awesome. Its been like this forever and continues to be the best. Its nothing fancy just the best coldcut sandwich. Get a ham and swiss with the works you will love it no doubt!!! You must get the works always!!!! very important!!!!!
