Jimmy's An American Restaurant & Bar

One of the best places I've ever been! Great food and fun. Must give a shout out to the bartender Alex. One of the best ever. If you're in town make sure to go visit Alex and spend some time!

Consistently one of the best spots in Aspen. Great food, truly pro staff, superb bar and cocktails, best tequila and mezcal selection along with the knowledge to help you enjoy it. A must hit spot at least once per visit to Aspen.

Some of the best deals on food in the bar at Jimmy's. Seated on a first come, first served basis, it's worth the wait. Spicy margarita with chili lime rim is excellent!

Excelent place, very helpful service. The food is to die for. The meat cuts are on the expensive side, specially the Tomahawk, but well worth it to try. The Sable fish and the trout are specially good. We even saw famous TV personalities sitting in the table next to us. We'll worth a visit for dinner if you are looking for a nice restaurant in Aspen that is not extravagant nor trendy, but a down to earth, great place.

I eat here very often, several times a week when in Aspen. The food is very good and consistent. I enjoy sitting in the bar as it is very lively and great for people watching. The meatloaf is my go to meal, it's priced well, delicious and offered on the bar menu. Ask for their bread basket, and a beer ... You will be very satisfied.

Great bar and restaurant in downtown Aspen. Located up a flight of stairs and the space is somewhat split into two with a bar area and a dining area. Very nice decor of the place. Gets crowded during the evenings and it feels like a very happening place. It also has seating on the patio during the summer. Good food menu. Sit in the main dining area or grab a seat at the bar which has it's own menu. Great bar specials of the day on weekly rotation. Good value for money. Great selection of mezcals. The wine list is extensive and most will find something for themselves. The cocktails are very good also. Would recommend. Would come back.

Awesome dining experience we had last night at Jimmy's. Service was outstanding and the food was delicious. We come to Aspen every March to celebrate our anniversary and ski. It is one of the restaurants on our list when we are in Aspen. Plus the view is great (Ajax in sight). Highly recommended.

One of the most popular American restaurants in town. The atmosphere in the dining room is unpretentious and the bar area is always super lively. The food is delicious and there are many items on the menu in the mid-price range. The bar menu is affordably awesome. The dining room is spacious - great for large groups, families, private parties etc. One of the locals favorite restaurants and bar - Jimmy's is an Aspen superstar!

What an amazing institution. Our meals were so great we ate here twice in one week. The lamb appetizer, chefs cut of the day, ribeye, and surf and turf are the best I've had. The new owners better do this place justice or we'll have words 😁

A must when you’re in Aspen! We stopped in on a whim last night to grab drinks and dinner after a long day of hiking. As new transplants to Colorado, we’ve not really had a great meal that wowed us till last night. We ordered a New York strip, it was perfectly cooked and delicious. I asked for grilled shrimp, not on the menu, our waitress graciously accommodated my request and the shrimp were the best tasting! Our experience was stellar from the moment we arrived! I’d like to add that our waitress was super friendly and took the time to chat with us and made us feel so welcome. We’ll be back when we return to Aspen!

If you want to go some place and feel right at home and have some great drinks and a snack, this is the place. Not a dive bar and not hoity toity - and not overly loud like some other places either. Bartenders are friendly but no fuss and no muss either. Good fair drinks. I think they could get a bit more creative with the menu. But everything was prepared nicely. It's mostly bar and a bunch of large high tops and then a dining porch area. It was great. Had fun talking to our neighbors. And watching the bartenders turn DJ at the end of the night.

The wifey and I were in town a couple of weekends ago, and I got us a reservation here. I must say, the prime rib was the absolute best I’ve ever had. My wife was equally as pleased with her curry. The location is great, service was on point, and, we couldn’t have been more pleased. We’ll definitely be back, and thanks for the Mezcal tasting Jimmy, Salud!!

Great waitress and cozy ambience. Very accommodating and a nice surprise for fun wine pairings. We were in the mood for a classic steak and Jimmy's did not disappoint.

I hit Jimmy's everytime I'm in Aspen, great food and atmosphere. I especially love their $15 daily bar special, highly recommend. There can be limited space but it's always worth a stop.

Jimmie's is a place that I have been to numerous times, and I've always loved both the food, drinks, and service. They have a coat check and a fairly large bar area. I have yet to order something from here that I did not like.

In a sea of overpriced and pretentious establishments in Aspen, Jimmy’s stands in very small company. We have consistently had excellent meals, very attentive and friendly service, and at reasonable prices considering the quality of the cuisine and wine list.

The meal and whole experience at Jimmy's was great. My husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed our dinner - my husband said his steak was one of the best he had ever had. I have not dined inside many restaurants during the pandemic, but I felt comfortable dining at Jimmy's as the restaurant seems to be taking precautions seriously. I would recommend Jimmy's for a nice, fine dining meal that delivers on taste, not just presentation.

Awesome cocktails, they made delicious whiskey sours with egg whites, which isn't common. The food was great too! We had a really nice spot on the upstairs patio with pretty views. Definitely recommend if you're looking for somewhere to eat!

Steaks were good, shishito peppers were fabulous and The salads were really good. Crab cakes were okay, did not love them. Strawberry shortcake was not good, cake was thick and very dry. The fish entrees and scallops were also very good.

I loved the food and the service. Talk about creativity. The chef made chickpea pasta for the vegan entree with mushroom bolognese and cashew cream with basil. I wanted to leave the restaurant quietly after such a mystical dinner but was thrown off by the crowded overpacked firehazard bar on the way out. Talk about hard to get out of.

Great food, great service, steak could have been more marbled (maybe not Prime?)

Nice, somewhat down home, steak house. I get the meatloaf. They have a great wine list including Opus 1 by the glass! Get Jimmy to tell you how Smith and Wolensky style his recipe for pretzel bread.

A very busy and popular place. Our party couldn't find space at the bar so we made or way to the restaurant. Service and fare was outstanding. Our food came quickly, a. Bit. Too quickly, it would have been nice to enjoy a glass of wine and take in the ambiance. Chuck our sommelier was very helpful and knowledgeable. A great experience.

Dinner a Jimmy's last night was good. My filet mignon was a good quality steak (not sure about it being prime) well prepared. I ordered it rare based on my experience and it came closer to medium rare, which was fine. It came with terrific roast cauliflower and good mashed potatoes. My salmon crudo appetizer was very good. The creamed spinach we ordered was excellent and big enough for 3 of us to share. Not the French fries which were somehow greasy and crisp at the same time. Not at all appetizing. Two others with me ordered onion soup which they shared at a $2 split charge, which was done in the kitchen which was convenient. They also each ordered lamb chop appetizers. Nice portion of 3 chops but some were too fatty. Good service. Very attentive. But one staff member left an unpleasant cloud of cheap cologne wafting in the air eery time he passed our table. Obviously we were down wind. Jimmy's has had its ups and downs over the years. Now it's much better than its worst in the past couple of years, but not quite back up to its glory days. The good news is that while it's as expensive as many (most) Aspen restaurants, you don't get their pretentiousness. Try it. If you're a politely take charge patron, you should enjoy it.

Jimmy's is in my top 5 places to eat in Aspen. The food is always made with a high quality standard which shows in every dish. I've eating at Jimmy's a handful of times and even once had the privilege of taking a behind the scenes tour into the kitchens with the Chef. The "Tomahawk" steak is a personal favorite but call ahead to make sure its available (best ordered during the XGames when it's sure to be on-hand). The bar when you walk in is always a lively place to start the night. A round of Dark and Stormy's and an appetizer of the mac n cheese will get the party going nicely. An outdoor patio doesn't have the best view but on a cold crisp winter night it's a great place to take it all in.

Better know for its cocktails than its food Jimmy's serves up some good dinner choices. If it's not raining or snowing enjoy the patio. A must see and do while in town or the go to spot when meeting up with friends.

What a gem! Delicious American style food. I highly recommend the meatloaf and mashed sweet potatoes. The cookies for dessert are some of the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had. This is a perfect place after a long day of skiing or hiking.

Food was meh at best and probably deserves 2 stars if based on value. The trout was dry and lacking any flavor. Sides were good. Meatloaf was cold and had to be returned. Nice atmosphere but that’s about it

Honestly, I expected more out of a 2nd story Aspen Restaurant. Service was good. Food was artificial. They did do pretty ok with my lamb chops....but my onion soup had no depth at all. Totally lacking in any real beef-carmelized onion flavor. We are convinced the potatoes were instant and not a good one and the mac and cheese was sandy to the surface of my tongue. The peppercorn sauce tasted like A-1 and stock. Oh well. I enjoyed my Tito's!

Our waitress should not be in the service industry. The food was ok, but nothing I would choose again over all the other fantastic restaurants in town. I'd call it standard fare. On a positive note, the balcony tables allow for enjoying the weather.

Poor experience. Don't know what the problems were. Ordered cocktails then the gal took our order for starters, she also asked whether we wanted our salads with our main course???. Starters - no cocktails - no waitress. Half way through starters cocktails show up??? Repeat for entrees. Odd. Left hand doesn't know what right hand is doing. Keep trying this place hoping it'll get better, think I'm done now.

Bar seemed fun, but service and atmosphere of dining room is way too casual for price. Several patrons were wearing hats and hoodies. Definitely not a special occasion or fine dining option. Understaffed and waitress pushed us to order entrees the minute we arrived. Fortunately we were with good company, otherwise this would have been a painful meal. Crab cakes were served at room temperature.

Really great service but the food is below average and over rated. I had the mahi and my husband got the surf and turf and we got a side of Mac and cheese. The mahi dish was not very flavorful which is surprising because it was an asian Inspired dish. The Mac and cheese honestly looked and tasted like instant. My husband ate all of his steak but the crab cake was not very good either. Just nothing special about the food.Over priced. Really enjoyed the staff though.

Food was GREAT don’t get me wrong, it always is. Service was subpar at best- as I was asking server questions he was watching other tables. My daughter and I are both Celiac- gluten is VERY serious for us and I can tell within 30 minutes if I have been exposed. I made it VERY clear to the server we have a major allergy- didn’t order anything fried due to cross contamination, asked many questions and was assured it was gluten free- ordered a filet and vegetable salad, gluten free dessert- but somewhere along the lines- I was exposed and paid for it dearly. I can’t recommend this place to those with gluten allergies. Though it did taste good...the after effects simply aren’t worth it for me personally.

Mahi-Mahi was $38 of dry, overcooked, bland “meh” on a plate. Amateur cheffing at best, and that’d be a compliment, 1/5. Chef, try the food you’re turning out. The meatloaf and Mac with jalapeños were tasty, both far from bad and far from amazing, 3/5. The service we received was absent minded and a far cry from aligning with the cost of the bill. Appetizers came out (no exaggeration) 30+ minutes before the food. Either it was amateur night in the kitchen as in the dining room OR both front and back of house really just DGAF. You’re lucky to be so minimally impacted by covid, in New York you wouldn’t last long with service like this nowadays. From my point of view, this place is in dire need of a dose of discipline and a hardline management team that will hold the rest of the staff to account instead of excusing abhorrent service. There was no reason for this meal to be so bad. Worst meal I’ve had in months.

Do not trust your vacation experience with Jimmy's. The steak I had tonight was unequivocally the worst steak I have ever had. The steak was not prime, was not USDA, and was not 20 oz. It was a complete embarrassment. It should have been thrown out by the cook, then it should have been refused by the server, but somehow it made it to my table. It was 50% FAT and was the lowest quality ribeye I have ever had. The manager did not come to the table and apologize. The server was very good and he had nothing to do with the quality of the food. The chef and the manager should both be fired. Do not serve people expensive food that is not even super market grade. People fly here from everywhere. They book tables all over town. You owe them quality food. Be accountable and responsible. If you can't buy good food, and prepare it correctly, then you should be in another business. Completely ruined our dining experience.

We arrived at Jimmy's right at opening time and were told it would be few minutes before we got served, which we were fine with, but that turned into at least 20 minutes after opening time before we even saw a menu. We were given drinks, but then ignored after. I asked to be reseated to the dining room (which I saw had an actual waiter servicing tables) and the girl up front told me that it'd be a minute while she checked if anything was available (almost all the tables were empty) and then never came back. Throughout the meal, we never had a consistent waiter and weren't really sure who it was. I also went to the bathroom at one point, and it was full of kitchen staff dressing and putting on deodorant (and the second time I tried it stank of weed) - tip to the owners, give your workers a break room. We finally got our menu and ordered our food, but the quality of the food left much to be desired. My rib eye was overcooked and my girlfriend's filet mignon was undercooked. In addition, the quality of my rib eye was significantly poorer than I'd expect (and have received) for a $64 steak. The menu says prime but I suspect they're actually serving choice at best. We were also both served without steak knives, which I had to ask twice for. I'd meant to order wine with my steak but no one came around to check on us until I was very nearly done, but I was given a complimentary wine to make up for it. In addition, they had a small stand where people were handing out complimentary cocktails, although I'm not sure if they were affiliated with the restaurant. I'd be more forgiving of all of this if it weren't for the price of the restaurant. This did not seem like a $150 dinner, it seemed like half that at best. Your money and time is better spent elsewhere.

I have been traveling to aspen for 10+ years and have eaten at Jimmy's for a majority of them. Up until last night I could honestly say it was a great experience with great food. However, last night was one of the worse meals I have ever had. The steaks were burnt ( supposed to cooked medium and medium well) and my wife and I didn't even eat our meals. For a meal that costs as much as it does here, I would expect more. I wish I could say that the meal was the worst part of my evening. But, the food poisoning that followed was far worse. I hope this is not what Jimmy's has become.

It was decent food. Their idea of "big" portions is quite exaggerated. The waiter with no eyebrows was not helpful with seating us or refilling our beverages. We got less action than Elton John's ex wife. Would not recommend to anyone other than snobbish billionaires who would have the waiters kissing their feet the second they walk in the door.

The food was good for the little bit of portion we had. BEWARE. It's $17 for ONE half-dollar sized crab cake. Not two, even though the menu says otherwise. As far as the service goes.... It was prejudice. I felt like a black man in the 60's. Can I nice group of teenagers not enjoy pricey dining to celebrate without judgement from the waiting staff? We kept looking over to three-four waiters and waitresses at the end of the bar looking us up and down like it was a scene from Mean Girls. We couldn't understand the issue. Are we not wearing enough Gucci or Prada to enjoy a good meal and great company? No wonder why we didn't find another group like ours in town, looks like the other people without trust funds and Vineyard Vines had a fair warning before they ventured off like we did.
