jimmy j's cafe

it was kinda middle of the road. ok, but a little bland for my taste

0 by marc smith on 21 may, 2015 where to eat/drink share this post whether you’ve stayed up all night partying or you’ve had a restful sleep and just starting your day, brunch in the french quarter of new orleans at jimmy j’s cafe is the place to be. there will always be a line up but the wait is worth it so just be patient. in fact, while you are waiting in line head inside to the bar and order yourself a bloody mary or any other drink that strikes your fancy. take your drink and head back to your place in line, everybody does and it is how i met my brunch buddies tori and chase . this young couple from texas was in line before me and commented on my lack of a beverage, from there a friendship was born over eggs and mimosas. brunch line up outside jimmy j’s cafe in new orleans jimmy j’s is located just a few short steps off canal street in the french quarter at 115 chartres street . it opened in 2011 and has fast become a destination for locals an

cochon de lait po-boy*. absolute wonderful!!!!!

food looked good, great atmosphere, but very small. we had a group of 10 and probably could have half filled the place. we had to get some food (a painfully slow process) to go and move on. my grandma really liked her gumbo.

highly recommend jimmy j's!. stopped by for lunch during my recent visit to nola. food was great! very fresh and tasty!

french toast "monte cristo"*. so good!

randomly stumbled upon this little place tucked on the outskirts of the french quarter. besides being packed in like sardines and having an overly friendly server, the food was surprisingly very good. i would definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. jimmy j's could possibly be one of my new brunch spots.

this place gets 5 stars for the best breakfast i've ever had! $5 mimosa and the eggs tuscan style ($10.50) - two perfectly poached eggs on top of the most silky and perfect polenta and vegetable ratatouille. it was absolutely heaven when i broke the egg and it oozed into the polenta. what a dish.

service was friendly and quirky - just the way i like it. small place that seats maybe 20 people. this place is just a few steps into the french quarter.

a wait. but not too bad of a wait. food is excellent. would like to try so many things on their menu. really really tasty bloody mary's. will definitely come back.

amazing food and the service is even better!!
a must visit for local food and service that will make you feel right at home! will come again!!!

had red beans and rice with andouille and it was almost entirely beans with just a little rice and very small amount of sausage. the flavor was good.

excellent burgers and drinks! best burger in nola highly recommended. small and humble. they give out free beer the day before the world ends

phenomenal breakfast menu. smoked salmon bagel is top notch! get there early because the line is long and seating is minimal. worth the wait!

i really needed a late (noon) breakfast and this place scratched my itch. my server was great and suggested stuff until my indecisive hungry brain clicked. the cochon benedict was delicious! perfect poached eggs and yummy sauce. great vibe with good music.

the only reason this restaurant is getting a 2 is because our waitress was awesome. however the food left much to be desired. if your looking for a place to just have a snack (and not a very good one) this place is for you.
