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. For over 70 years the
wonderful flavor of the grilled hamburgers has been mellowing and
seasoning
the grill in the corner window making it the secret flavor ingredient
no
other restaurant can duplicate.
The Current Story
The Lane Family (current owners) bought Jim-Denny's in March 2005 from
it's
3rd set of owners after Jim. After lot of hard work (and still some
on-going) we are proud and most humbled to be reopening the doors to
this
historic Sacramento landmark. We hope to continue the tradition of
great
food and friendly service started by Jim Van Nort so many years ago.
It is
our main goal to remain the 10 busiest seats in Sacramento. We want to
thank you for being a customer and hope you will visit us again soon.
