Stopped in for soup yesterday. It was a delicious stew type. Plenty of meat, potatoes and vegetables. Brought back memories of my grandma's cooking. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff, met the owner and the chef. All very friendly and welcoming. Will be coming back in the future. Look forward to trying their Wednesday lunch buffet and the Sunday Breakfast Buffet!!! I am new to Niles, Mi and was looking for a family type restaurant and I found it yesterday!!!

I went to Jim's 1st time 8-14-2026. Had such a great meal. Service was 5.0/A+. Food was 5.0/A+. The Brisket sandwich was 2 sandwiches the lemonade was so good. When you are there it's like eating at a family's house. And I can not forget the record albums against the wall old school. Jim whatever you do don't change anything. Niles is lucky to have you. Peyton the server was so nice treated you like family..And since I am almost 66yrs and a Lifetime Niles Resident...

Food is so delicious, very flavorful and well priced, and our server did a good job. I would go again 100% and would recommend, a good place to go when hungry definitely!!! Especially if you like well seasoned / spiced brisket and chicken.
