Seriously best sandwich I have had in a long time. So good.

Small diner located in a plaza. Very welcoming atmosphere and you can tell they have many regulars. I ordered the Pastrami Burger and sat on their patio. It was quiet and calm, and the burger was huge and very good. Burger, fries, and drink under $20, hard to find these days! Overall very satisfied and worth the drive from Oceanside.

Great food and a very cute little back patio seating.

I used to be a regular at Big Jim's when it was new, as I used to work directly across the street and would grab lunch here almost daily. I hadn't been here in years, but my fiance asked me to take him somewhere for lunch and a sandwich sounded lovely. For whatever reason, Big Jim's came to mind and I'm so glad it did! Their food is just as excellent as it was all those years ago. My fiance is also a USMC Vet and was very appreciative of all the patriotic decor and loves to support Vet-owned businesses! Fiance had the French Dip and I had the Turkey sandwich with avocado. Everything is so fresh and such great quality. Also, Big Jim's is the only place I know that consistently ensures the avocado is evenly spread throughout the entire sandwich and not a pathetic 4 small slices. Thank you for the reliably great service and delicious food! We'll be back.

He's only open for breakfast and lunch. I wish you would stay open later but I believe he works another job at night . Sometimes I'll go and get burgers for dinner at 3:00 when he closes. And just save them in the fridge till dinner time

Just tried the 385 sandwich on Wednesday. It was so good and the service was so good I had to have it again that same Saturday!
I just had the mediterranean burger for lunch today and I am blown away by how delicious that burger was! Completely exceeded my expectations! Had the onion rings as well, and they were super tasty! Well done, Big Jim's!

My young daughters and I went into Big Jim's for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. It was a beautiful day for sitting out back on their shaded and very clean patio. The atmosphere was very nice upon entering and we loved the patio, but decided to move inside so they could look at the gorgeous butterfly photos on the wall. We ordered a kids quesadilla that ended up being big enough to share, but was so tasty, they didn't want to! It came with homemade potato chips that were the best I've ever had! I ordered a chef salad and it was HUGE! It was like a work of art! I had to take pictures of it next to my daughter, so you can see how big it is! I was so happy with the size of it, because every ingredient was so fresh and delicious, I was super excited to have enough left to share AND have leftovers. I would definitely recommend getting the whole salad for yourself so you can do this too! No sharing, no "half salad", just do a whole so you get seconds, because it's that good, you'll want it for yourself. Haha! I also ordered a side of fries after putting in my initial order, and they came out fast, HOT, perfectly seasoned and slightly crispy. PERFECT. Fries are a huge thing for me at a restaurant, and they passed that test!Big Jim came out to ask how things were, and he was very kind and pleasant to talk to. His wife Jill was working as well, and she was also a sweetheart and very attentive and thoughtful. The restrooms, restaurant, and patio were SPOTLESS. They also had coloring books and crayons for my kids and were so gracious about how messy and loud they ended up getting (?). We even met another family while there and became friends!Thank you, Jim and Jill, for welcoming us to your place! We will definitely be regulars now, and I've already been telling my friends! I literally can't wait to go back and try more of their delicious menu!
