Great family bar/restaurant in a small Herndon, VA town. I had their wings which were pretty good. I'll be bsck again for round 2!

I wasn’t sure what to think when I walked in. The first thing I noticed was the smell of smoke when I opened the door. Thankfully, smoking is confined to the bar. The dining room is smoke-free. The ambiance is Buffalo NY. I had the Buffalo platter which included wings, a beef-on-weck sandwich, kielbasa, and pierogies. All delicious and for a reasonable price. The mango cart wheat beer was one of the best beers I’ve ever had. Service was quick and friendly with the exception of getting the check. We had to flag down the waiter to ask for it. To be fair, he was pretty busy. I would have been bothered much more if the food was slow.

First time in here and want to make it a new regular spot. Elliot and Gabe know how to operate bar and are good vibes. The pierogies were fire and they had the drinks flowing for dayz. Big points for a tornado foosball table. Rare to see a table of that caliber out in the wild. I expect this to draw a lot of attention to Jimmy’s since foosball is the fastest growing table sport in the US and minor outlying islands. Once the girls in the bar found this out it was hard to keep them off this magnificent table. Also shoutout Pete who was bartending outside. I saw a guy say his michelob ultra wasn’t cold enough, and Pete handled that slander like a pro. 10/10 bar for vibes, cold drinks, foosball, and a fun time.

Back in my home town on a work trip so had to make time to stop by Jimmy's Old Town Tavern. Still a great place after all these years.

They have a very delicious Philly steak sandwich. But I wish you could change the type of fries and add spices to them—just a suggestion.

The food was good, the drinks were great and cheap during happy hour. I'm from Buffalo and the wings were pretty good. The beef on weck not so much. The cheese and bacon tater tots were awesome. Bar area is loud a But dining room is easy to have a conversation.
