Zim's Farmers Market & Cafe is a restaurant known for its large portions and southern home cooking. The chicken fried steaks are a popular choice, being described as extremely large and cooked in a unique way - lightly floured and fried on a flat top. The mashed potatoes are made from real potatoes and the gravy is well-liked. The restaurant also offers Mexican food, which has been praised as well.
The service at Zim's is reported to be friendly and attentive. However, there have been some complaints about the salads, with reports of them not being fresh. The steaks have been described as a good size with the correct tenderness, but the oil used for frying has been criticized for tasting burnt. The gravy is believed to be homemade, but has been described as too thick and pasty.
Despite some issues with the food, Zim's has been described as a fun and relaxed place with a great group of people. Many customers have reported having positive experiences and not being disappointed. However, some have said that they may not return due to the issues with the food and the expense.
