A Local Tradition Since 1977

Since 1977, Jimmy’s has been more than a restaurant—it’s Santee’s neighborhood gathering place. What started as a small diner with a passion for home-cooked meals has grown into a spot where everyone feels at home. Classic American comfort food has always been at the heart of the menu, served with care for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
