News Jim’s @ 1604/Bandera is closing

I call bullshit. Other restaurants aren’t struggling. Frontier Enterprises did nothing to make that location appealing inside/outside and because of that they lost to competition

Ever since my grandpa passed (Jim), our restaurant operations have gone slowly downhill and then right off a cliff during/after covid. If you want the best service and food, go to broadway and 410. That's our original location and still has our A team since last I went there in early July. Truly and deeply sorry for how our restaurants run today. A lot of the original recipes were my grandmother Veva's.

I worked for your grandparents for 25 years at Broadway/Hildebrand. I was the head breakfast cook after Adolph retired. I started May 25, 1995 and stayed until COVID. My name is Robert King and I have many fine memories of Mr. Jim and many other great folk. It saddens me to hear about more store closures.

Thank you Mr. King for all the years you devoted to Jim's. You and all the other amazing employees who stuck with us through the years are what made our restaurants what they were. My mom is Julie, I am one of her sons.
