Jim-Denny's was founded in 1934 by Jim Van Nort. The original location was 16th and J Streets, close by the then new Memorial Auditorium. The present location on 12th Street was opened after Jim got home from serving during World War II. During the post war years Jim-Denny's was open around the clock. The bus depot was located next door and the place was jumping! Soon Jim-Denny's became known as the home of the 10 busiest seats in Sacramento. Since 1934 there have been many changes to the city of Sacramento but there's one thing that hasn't changed in over 70+ years; the quality of the food at Jim-Denny's. Some patrons say the burgers taste great because the finest quality beef is used. But, the regular customers know the secret is not just the fresh ingredients. After all, any restaurant can use high quality ingredients. The secret to these burgers is cooking the best beef money can buy on the famous Jim-Denny's grill.

It's a baby boomer place. The hamburgers and chili remind of those we ate while growing up. Gen X etc take note. It's worth trying to learn how real hamburgers and chili and fries and shakes should taste

Every week I try to limit myself to eating at Jim-Denny's only once - breakfast on Friday. I usually make it to Monday morning before I give in. Best breakfast and lunch in Sac!

Jim Denney's is the bestest burger around. We (husband and I) eat there at least once a week, if able we will go twice a week. Nothing better than JIm-Denny's. I am so spoiled with their food.
