Great neighborhood, great little divey place, and good food at great prices. I play basketball at the hoops courts down in the Run and often will stop by Big Jim's afterward to get some much needed sustenance.
The portions are huge and almost everything is good. The last time I was there I got the Reuben and it did not disappoint. Stacked high with meat and good tasting and I think it was only around 8 dollars.
The service at the bar isn't all that attentive, but by no means is poor. It is exactly what you would expect at a place like this. If you are looking for a fancy night out this surely isn't the place, but it is absolutely perfect for what it is. Cheap food and drinks in huge portions.
