Aspen has a lot of choices in dining, many of them very upscale offering nouveau or European cuisine with prices to match! I was more in the mood for "American" food, but I didn’t want to eat fast food either. Jimmy’s was the perfect choice that evening. One other requirement that evening was to dine outside to take advantage of the warm evening. Jimmy’s is located upstairs in a small mall area and has a great view of the downtown Aspen area and the surrounding mountains. We were seated outside immediately without a reservation, always a good start to an evening out!

I like Jimmy's slogan, "Fierce American Food!". Our waiter was a friendly young man who inadvertantly helped make my decision about what to eat! He asked if I liked meatloaf, to which I replied, "Sure, do you serve it here?" He laughed and explained that he was talking about the song being played over their sound system, the singer Meatloaf! He then went on to describe the meatloaf that Jimmy’s served, made with sirloin and flavored with a "Mad Dog Ranch" barbeque sauce – I did end up ordering it and liked it very much! My husband had a rotisserie chicken quarter topped with a hickory-smoked sauce and slices of brie. Many other entrees were traditional fare such as steaks, seafood and chops, as well as a wide assortment of appetizers and side dishes.

They offered a great wine list and are also known for their wide variety of tequilas. The prices are in line with the quality, as well as the location; dinner for two with glasses of wine will run at least $50.00, but you could do a lot worse in Aspen! We enjoyed our meal, service, and location and would eat there again.
