Best wings I've ever had and a very cool vibe. The service was great. Jimmy's Old Tavern was just what we were looking for in the area. A local place with a friendly laid back atmosphere.
This place is seriously epic. Grab a chair and tell Elliott the bartender you want a Philly cheesesteak wit WIZ add mushrooms, pint of Vienna Lager, and a shot of Jameson. This is one of the best meals I've had in a minute, the cheesesteak is legit, this is better than the shops in Philadelphia, the portion and flavor are on point. Each bite into that Amoroso roll you can hear an eagles fan complaining about something, it's that authentic. I like Herndon. God Bless America.
Absolutely amazing cheesesteak sandwich with cheese whiz!! We found this restaurant in 2002. Everytime we are in Herndon we stop for our favorite cheesesteak sandwich. Simply the Best!!
Need my Pub Burger fix for lunch. Jimmy's is a local tavern that has been a local spot for all ages. The play list speaks for itself. I walked into the Grease hit song "Summer Nights" and the staff was on point singing it. My All American Burger was cooked Medium Rare, the way I like it. French Fries were cooked well and crunchy. I hate floppy soggy fries. Will definitely come back in the evening.
Stopped in for lunch today (first time in a long time). Tried the cheesesteak and really surprised how good it tasted. Decently priced and a full plate of food (fries, slaw, pickle). Cheesesteak [4.5] Fries [4] Definitely worth a try if you are in the mood for one.
It's been a long time since I have been in Jimmys. I was in Herndon for an errand and was craving a burger and a beer. Jimmys was right there so I went in. I grabbed a seat at the bar and was immediately greeted by Leanne behind the bar. No Yeungling...boo. So I ordered a Devil's Backbone. Flavor is a bit different but cold on tap is refreshing. I'm already thinking burger so I decide on the all American burger with pepper jack and no tomato. Other folks at the bar had food and I could see the fries so that was a no brainer. Football highlights are on the TV so I'm watching that waiting. The place is a cozy size and I like the bar seating. Leanne is right there to grab a new glass and give me a DB refill when I'm empty. The burger and French fries are in front of me. The burger is cooked medium well, fries are crispy with jus the right amount of salt. The food is tasty and hot, fresh from the kitchen. Jimmys is a solid place for a bite or dinner with friends/buddies. Good beer/liquor selection, good service and easy parking. I'll be back.
I've been to Jimmies countless times and every time I go I love it and say we should go more! I've had some of the most interesting conversations with neighborhood folks, some really good beer, amazing service always, and have made friends with a ton of dogs outside in the beer garden. The standout things to order at Jimmies are 1) the wings and 2) the fries (add vinegar!). If I had $1 for every time I said, "I'm not a fry person, but Jimmies fries are amazing" I would have a ton of money. I love the vibe of this bar. It's old school NY in nature and you can get the classic NY dishes, like beef on whick. It's always full of locals from the surrounding area and gives a neighborhood bar feel. Because the servers are all so friendly and act like you're a regular, you really feel like you belong there. There's more traditional "family seating" in the back (don't let this place fool you, it's rather large), there's the bar area, an area by the bar that's a restaurant and then the beer garden. Everything is reasonably priced, which is fantastic given the cost of living in this area. Even though I'm not a Buffalo Bills fan, I love Jimmies during football season. They always have several games on and the vibe is so fun! The food is great, the beer selection is good and cold, and the people are great. Go to Jimmies!
Delicious food and beers, reasonable prices, and excellent service. Our server checked on us often and provided us with everything we needed while keeping our water glasses filled at all times. I got a Labatts Blue and their Chili Mac, which was delicious. What more could you ask for chili, beans, pasta, and cheese? We sat inside in the bar area at a high top, but the restaurant went on and on both inside and out at the large outdoor area. This restaurant is enormous, and the menu offers many good options. They have live music on certain days. I look forward to visiting again soon.
Lovedddd the food! But loved the service even more Justin is the best.. Justin for the first time made some henny margaritas! 7+ to be exact! Justin was behind the bar running around but I never felt left out. The place is super chill and has some good music! I would definitely go back
Herndon Virginia is 22 miles from downtown DC with an urban suburban mix feel; a historic rail station depot, the NextStop theater and the one n only Jimmy's Old Town Tavern. Cheers is the one in Boston with the 'everyone knows your name' catch phrase but right here in Herndon, we have this amazing and warm establishment that aces that! I met the awesome owner Jimmy just before Thanksgiving when he was donating and dropping off a beautiful Thanksgiving feast at a business in Herndon, Virginia. He came across as a good guy with a big heart and a fun spirit. He mentioned that he had loads of family in the USMC and he was a big supporter of our military and veterans. His staff - I met bartenders Joshua, Gabriel and TJ - echo with the same level of care, kindness, enthusiasm and ultimate service. The moment I entered Jimmy's I felt the love and the great vibe. Gabriel and Josh gave me an awesome and friendly welcome and took really good care of me. The Friday fish fry was fantastic! The accompanying kielbasa and pierogis took it over the top. The gents kept my glass of soda refilled through the evening. We also enjoyed Sunday football watching the 49ers Eagles game with some amazing wings and an absolutely stellar grilled salmon over greens salad. Delicious foods, great specials, an owner with a beautiful heart, awesome prices, his team on the same wavelength, a wonderful local following, a calendar full of fun events including Trivia every week,, a great location on Elden St in downtown Herndon and our great flag flying outside - does not get any better!
