Top of my list for 40 years! Nothing fancy,just old time diner experience with great breakfast and all menu items for flavor, value & overall comfort smiles when you are done! Once you go, you'll always want to go back!

Exactly what you’d expect from an old school diner. Simple but good breakfast food. Staff was friendly. The only thing that may be tricky for people is that it isn’t a large restaurant so getting a seat may be difficult. Our party of 6 got extremely lucky because I think only the one table up front can accommodate a group that big from what I could see.

We just had a great diner style breakfast on a Saturday morning! Really neat daily special that featured a flame-seared beef skewer. Staff was great and everyone was cheerful despite the stress of a Saturday morning breakfast rush. Will definitely go back. Works best with small parties.

Took my boys here for breakfast as a little mom and boys date. We were welcomed as soon as we walked into the door and told to choose where we would like to sit. We sat down and we were shortly greeted by our server who brought crayons and paper to keep the boys distracted 😍 service was quick seems she turned around and had our drinks out! I was ready to order so she took our order and not even I would say 10 minutes our food was ready!! My oldest’s French toast sticks took a few minutes extra but well worth the FEW minute wait! Overall 10/10 experience can’t wait to come back! P.S. if you had good service, good food, and a good time they have a bell you can ring on the way out. The kids LOVED this and let’s just say 3 bell rings from us! 💕

(In my picture I had already sampled the eggs and toast 😂) not pictured is the Mickey Mouse shaped pancake my youngest got 💜

Oh my...what a beautiful and tasty experience! We're visiting from Virginia, for the weekend and searched "best breakfast in Solon" & this diner came up! We had the specials
- pesto omelet
- 2 orders of potato Pancakes
- cheesy eggs over grits w/tomato.
Wow! Only recommendation is for you to sit at the counter when you visit. The cooks were super efficient. Be sure to tip them separately than the waitstaff...they're gifted. Coffee was delicious and the staff were so friendly. We even met a believer there and confirmed that God's spirit is everywhere!!

I came from Texas since I lived here before since it was only place that is a real diner experience,food was great same as I remembered and old fashioned diner atmosphere is really awesome.Service was excellent waitress was friendly with a smile. One thing that came to my attention is the other employees sitting at counter or texting on there phones not looking very happy at all no smiles at all as if they don't even wanting to be there . The cook wearing only a hat that had long hair should be wearing a net on his head working over a grill .

I've loved coming to Jim's since I was in high school. It's a Solon institution.

The Herb Nelson has always been my favorite. I decided to try the Ultimate Herb this time. It was delicious, but I think I prefer the regular because I didn't love the tomatoes/green peppers in it.

My husband and I also got the Country Benedict and the Bananas Foster French Toast. Both were delicious. The Bananas Foster French Toast is no longer on the menu, but they still made it for us.

It's a popular place, so expect a bit of a wait on the weekends. They move fast though, so it doesn't usually take too long.

My biggest surprise this visit is that they now accept credit card. It used to be cash only. I try to come here every time I'm in town visiting my parents because I love it.
