The most awful dining experience I have ever had
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

03/24/2008 Posted by Tebo

Haven't been to Jimbos in years; about 6 or 7, so I decided to take my mother (since she prefers fish ) on Easter Sunday. The food was awful; Yes, we got seated right away; because we had reservations, as we waited for my daughter to arrive, my mother and I noticed how dirty the front of the restaurant was. We got seated and ordered 2 Broiled Haddcok, with mashed potatioes and squash and 1 Ham dinner. The fish was tasteless..except for the breadcrumbs and butter. The mashed potatoes had a funny odor..and the taste was tinny. Can't figure this out..awful. The squash wasn't squash at all, it tasted like pumpkin for a pie, and was so sweet I couldn't eat it. We ordered 2 sodas and even that was flat. ! My daughter got the ham dinner it had some nasty cloudy pineapple sauce on it..awful. She said it tasted like a bad hotdog. Frankly, It was the most awful dining experience I have ever had. Someone should revamp the menu and find a good cleaning crew, because this restaurant really needs help. I would never go again; or recommend it to anyone. Right after we left, there was a party of six outside and they heard me say how awful tmy food was; and they joined in by saying that everyone of their meals was equally as awful. I was embarassed and had to apologize to my mother and daughter for even suggesting Jimbo's.

Pros: Awful Food, Dirty Restaurant

Cons: Good Location
