| - When this place first opened back in the early 2,000s, it was called "Crazy Jim's Café" for a short time. I even have a business card floating around somewhere proving this fact, so if you think I'm just making it up, then you would be wrong...dead wrong. It quickly turned into Jim's Coney Island. Some say Jim started taking Prozac. Others say Jim thought the name might be too intimidating for the effete Scottsdale crowd. I have even heard the rumor that there really is no Jim at all. Whatever the reason, a diner by any other name would be as delicious. And that's Jim's... whatever you want to call it. It's a classic breakfast/lunch diner. I won't exhaust you with a boring litany of all the items you can get at a diner because if you have any business being at one, then you should pretty much know the routine. The key here is, Jim has all the dishes you expect, and he does them all excellently, with huge portions and fairly reasonable prices. If you want a gonga deal, then go for the specials of the day. There are usually 8 or more items as a daily special, so if you can't find one there, and you have short arms and deep pockets, then read the sign and politely say, "no thanks" and turn around. But I recommend you stay; and stay a while because Jim (or whoever it is running this place) and his friendly staff will keep refilling that coffee with a smile as long as you desire.
