I heard many good things about Big Jim's from my husband and friends as well as Yelp, so I knew I had to try it. We went at about 7pm on a Friday night and were seated right away. As the night went on the whole place filled up. I didn't have much expectation as to what the place looked like and I'm glad... It was definitely a dive, but a hidden gem.
We got nachos and cheese for an appetizer and the portion was huge. It took a little while for our food to come out even after we were completely done with our appetizer. However, we had a small child with us and they were good about bringing her food out first.
I got the chicken Parmesan hoagie. It was huge! A half of it would be comparable to a whole hoagie other places. It was pretty good. My husband had the open faced roast beef sandwich and fries and his friend had the roast beef au jus. They both liked their dishes, but thought the roast beef was a bit overdone. The gravy on the sandwich was amazing! Our other friend had the Reuben and it was the best Reuben I've ever had!!
Our server was extremely attentive. We thought the portions were extremely generous for the price and we will definitely be back!
