Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"The legendary burger joint still is the best! Been eating here since the 70s. The food quality has never waivered! To be honest, I have only ever had hamburgers or hot dogs so I cannot vouch for any other food, though everyone I know has said everything is great."
"Good food great service! Meals are priced just right! If you're in town a must visit. We had some burgers, a cheesesteak, and fries."
"I haven't had Jim's for over 20 years. So when the wife and I went back to Millville for the holidays. We had to get some burgers all the way. And had to say we were not disappointed at all. Still had the same great taste that we remembered from years ago."
"Love the consistency, the nostalgia, the fact that they remember my face even though I live out of state now and haven’t been able to enjoy it in years! I was able to bring one of my daughters to enjoy Jim’s for the first time and she LOVED IT! We had a burger with everything, highly recommended and a hot dog with everything also recommended! I must also add that their french fries are always perfectly done! And cheese on the side is the best way to order their cheese fries. Also wanted to add, I chuckled at the sign that said “milkshakes are only available of your server has time” because anyone who has ever been a server knows that making milkshakes definitely throws off your timeliness especially for other tables! I appreciated the honesty (and as a server at heart, I appreciated the fact that they have the option to say we just can’t do that right now! I LOVE IT! ) The only thing that I wish was better was the rice pudding. It definitely tasted different than it has for all those years- my mom agreed as well. I don’t know of they changed the recipe or we just caught it on a day that someone made it wrong but I hope it was the second explanation. Jim’s lunch always had bomb rice pudding!"
"Enjoyed a real turkey dinner lunch at Jim's Lunch in Millville on pre-Memorial Day Friday. They were closing for the season the next day due to no AC and will reopen in October. Our waitress has already procured another job. Entree has gone up $1. from printed menu. Tasty and delicious. Fun old style eatery with neighborly atmosphere. Park in the lot adjacent. Seated ourselves at a booth and were greeted and served quickly. Cashier fixed an overcharge. They take credit cards but cash tips only."
"Cost a little more per person because we had a takeout order for home. I had the triple cheeseburger with everything. Mustard, onions, and of course sauce. Picture is half the sandwich."
"Stopped in for lunch recently. I ordered the chicken & rice soup and a cheesesteak with fried onions and sauce. The service was great and the food was delicious! I highly recommend Jim's Lunch for breakfast, lunch, and dinner."
"Jim's Lunch in the heart of Millville is not just any old restaurant or diner, it is a South Jersey institution. You may have heard of the famous baseball player, Mike Trout. He hails from Millville and now plays for the Anaheim Angels. He also loves Jim's Lunch and gets their hamburgers when he is back home or has his mom or sister pick them up for him. There is even a sign on the wall that says "#27 Mike Trout is our Angel on High Street". Mike loves Jim's Lunch and so do those from the Holly City. Jim's Lunch has been around for about 94 years and is still family-owned. I could tell during my most recent visit that was Rochelle was in charge and she was running the place. She called out the orders and kept all the other staff on their toes and the orders coming. The staff wears maroon shirts with the name written in cursive and the feel of Jim's is classic and like it stopped in time. The smells from the grill fill the establishment and the chatter and action adds character. As you enter the restaurant from High Street, you will see the patties and wieners on the grill loaded with cheese and the freshly cut chopped onions on the side. There is an old-fashioned register and they only take cash. If you need to get cash, there is an ATM inside. You seat yourself and can sit at the counter on one of the stools or grab a booth in the main room or back dining room. Rochelle did a great job too of coordinating and telling people where to sit when something opened up. I placed my order on the phone and waited a few minutes when I arrived. I enjoyed watching all of the action and cooking and yelling. Your burgers and sandwiches are served on piece of waxed deli paper and the sauce just runs all over the paper. I also like how the glass paper weights from nearby Wheaton Village hold the waxed paper in place on the counter as the beef is grilling. The sauce is the famous ingredient made from the family recipe and you can dip your food in it and enjoy it on the burgers and cheesesteaks and wieners. When you order wit "everything" , that means mustard, onions and the famous sauce. Jim's Lunch also serves breakfast and from my last visit a few years ago, the rice pudding was delicious. My cousins love their fries too and Jim's does it all right. If you in Millville , you have to come here at least once. I highly recommend the fried chicken and the sides are all homemade. The season is Columbus Day through Memorial Day and closed on Sunday. Millville locals honor the opening day as if it were a holiday and I can see why. Get your double cheeseburger wit sauce and fries and a bunch of napkins. You will love it."
