Jimbo’s Hamburger Palace

Wow. Talk about a random treat! Mah boo and I were headed to the Bronx zoo on a Wed (since that’s when it’s free, so why not?) but were hungry, especially after our hour long ride on the subway to get there. There weren’t many food choices nearby except for a McDonald’s and this Jimbo’s-and of course, you have to try something new when you’re in a new setting, right?
Over to Jimbo’s we went. The place was pretty spacious, and it was one of those fast food/​sit down joints (kind of like Shake Shack). The place was super clean, and so were the restrooms (big deal!). We sat at the «bar» on top of the barstools and the lady next to me is just setting up some plasticware, doing that business. She chats with us and we tell her it’s our first time here. She tells me they’re located all over NY, but we learn from another worker that this place is still pretty new.
We order a cheeseburger to split, and we’re able to see how they make it (always nice). We also get some cheese fries, and my boo notices a huge lemon meringue pie and asks for a slice. All of that was hot, fresh, and yummy in our tummies! Guess what the total bill was for all this-​less than $ 10, including tip! WOW.
The whole time, we’re chatting with pretty much ALL the workers, and the random lady sitting next to us. They tell us what to check out in the Bronx-​from food to attractions. They’re all super chill and friendly and we have a great time. What a great first place to eat in the Bronx!
