Can you think of anything better than that first bite of an ooey-gooey, toasty warm pecan roll? We didn’t think so. Finding a good pecan roll or something of the like can be a challenge, but you can rest assured that the best one in Idaho can be found at the humble cafe featured here. Jimmy’s Down the Street is a beloved little eatery that’s become famous among locals for its delicious Southern Pecan Roll. In fact, Jimmy’s is so well-loved that it was actually featured on national television when it made an appearance on a popular Food Network show. Check it out:
Located in Coeur d'Alene for more than 50 years, Jimmy's Down the Street is a local legend. Starting out as a small soda shop, this eatery is now one of North Idaho's favorite breakfast eateries, and it's easy to see why.
Famous for its made-from-scratch Southern-style dishes, Jimmy's home cooking just can't be beat. In fact, the quaint cafe was even featured on Food Network's show "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" in 2010. The show most prominently highlights Jimmy's famous Chicken n' Dumplings, Chicken-Fried Steak Skillet, and the delicious Pecan Rolls.
Seriously, you can't go to Jimmy's without ordering up one of their delicious Southern Pecan Rolls. Baked fresh daily, these things are downright mouthwatering, especially all covered in butter. And beware, they are huge!
Try not to fill up on the pecan rolls, though, because Jimmy's has so much more to offer. The cafe's famous Irish Benedict is a local favorite, comprised of jalapeño cornbread that's layered with homemade corned beef, two eggs, hollandaise sauce, and breakfast potatoes.
Another breakfast favorite is Jimmy's Chimi. This is essentially a biscuit and gravy burrito with cheese, onions, and bacon. It's then fried and covered with sausage gravy and MORE cheese. This dish is also humongous, so many opt to share it with someone.
Breakfast is a popular time at this eatery, but the lunch options are just as tempting. Try the Pulled Pork, "Boston" Philly Sandwich, or Grilled Ham and Cheese for a hearty lunch that will tantalize you with wholesome flavors.
North Idahoans definitely love Jimmy's Down the Street, so see for yourself what the fuss is about and plan to drop by for breakfast or lunch soon. These flavorful dishes and gargantuan pecan rolls are bound to satisfy!
