“ Jimmy's AA is an A for us! Our first time and they gave us free samples to try before ordering. Honestly it was ALL really good including the sauces and it helped us decide what to order. Very friendly staff. A "walk-through" style shawarma place with so much more including a small cold deli section, a baklava display, and a variety of different pops (sodas). A few small indoor tables and outdoor patio tables available to have your meal. Double thumbs up! ”
