Reviews
Probably the best steak I have eaten anywhere on the east coast!! Don’t pass this place up you are missing out
Jim's has been an iconic restaurant in the Bloomington/Normal area for a very long time. It has never been updated, and that fact adds to the nostalgic charm of the place. It has a supper club feel to it. The tables have table cloths and a fresh candle on them.
The service has been fairly consistent over the years, being pretty good, as the food is typically pretty good as well.
They have a really nice piano bar with good bartenders, we typically try to arrive early and have a couple of drinks before our reservation.
The place can be pretty busy on the weekend so I would recommend reservations. The floor plan is multi level and is not ADA compliant. We like the the place and definitely recommend it.
This was our second time here. It's graduation weekend so they were very busy tonight but the staff handled it gracefully. Everything was delicious. The calamari comes with a Sweet Thai Chili sauce which is different than most places in town. The garlic bread comes with thick cut slices of bread and it's baked perfectly. I had the Salmon with shrimp and a lobster cream sauce with rice pilaf. It was good but a little pricey at $32 in my opinion. It came with 3 medium sized shrimp. Over all great experience and we need to work Jim's into our regular rotation of restaurants. One thing I will note is that their flatware seems a bit low quality for a fine dining restaurant.
Jim's is so great for a fancy night out. The fish dishes are always well cooked and seasoned. We always get the calamari!
Be sure to make a reservation! The serving staff are superb as always, but Jims is just overwhelmed and understaffed. Plenty of seating available just not enough service. Was informed at 5:30 wait would be 25 min. Here we are 2 hours later running up the bar bill waiting on food. Would recommend only with a reservation!! No matter what time, and don’t be in any rush!
You could not ask for better service. Our waitress was a true professional and seemed to really enjoy her job. We were a table of 8 and everyone was very happy with their meal. My steak was perfect and reminded me that I need more practice on the grill at home.
I had an amazing time at Jim's Steak House. The steaks were incredibly tender and flavorful, cooked to perfection. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, and the staff was friendly and attentive. A definite go-to spot for anyone craving a delicious, satisfying meal.
A friend recommended this place while we were in Bloomington. One of the Sunday night specials is pan fried chicken. I love me some good chicken, and this was some of the best I've had in ages. Got it with a baked potato (perfectly cooked, but only ate a couple bites). So, I believe most of their veggies are fresh, but the green beans they have with the fried chicken special are canned. These were GREAT green beans, like the homemade canned ones my grandmother used to make. Full of flavor and bacon, don't be deceived by the looks! My wife had the salmon on cedar plank and it was great. We'll definitely go again, especially on Sunday night. We sat at the bar, and Mary Jo took great care of us!
