We went to Jimmy's on our first night in Hilo during our last visit to the Big Island from our home in Coquitlam, BC, Canada. The food is pretty good overall, with a fairly wide range of options on the menu. Service was a little on the slow side, but that was mostly because the place was busy (always a good sign!) and staff were over-worked. They certainly tried hard. The restaurant itself has a rather run-down feel to it - very "time warp", if you like that sort of thing, but could use a bit of sprucing up. That said, they do take-out as well, and that would be a very good option if your lodging is within walking distance, as ours was. We would go back for the food, but would consider the take-out option next time.
