Bite Club: Get a great burger at Bad Jimmy's
What's in a name? Bad Jimmy's makes a good hamburger, and Valley residents are getting more chances to try them.
Catch up quick: Bad Jimmy's started as a pop-up in 2020 and opened its first brick-and-mortar burger bar on Roosevelt Row in 2023.
Last week, its second location opened at Indian School and Miller roads in Scottsdale.
State of play: Bad Jimmy's is part restaurant and part bar, serving smash burgers and cocktails.
You can get one of several options, including a veggie burger and a decidedly non-vegetarian option topped with beef pastrami.
Add chopped chilis for a couple bucks, an option I unfortunately overlooked.
Best bites: The L.A. Burg with pastrami seemed a bit extravagant, so I ordered the Double Burger, featuring two patties, American cheese, griddled onions, pickles and Bad Jimmy's "not-so-secret sauce" — basically Thousand Island dressing.
The burger was a classic, made well — juicy and delectable.
The waffle-cut French fries were crispy and delicious.
