Shrewsbury is a town in Worcester County, Massachusetts, United States. Shrewsbury, unlike other surrounding towns like Grafton, Millbury, Westborough, and Northborough did not become a mill town or farming village, rather most of its 19th-century growth was due to its proximity to Worcester and visitors to Lake Quinsigamond. The population was 35,608 according to the 2010 US Census, in nearly 12,400 households.

Comfortable spot, newly remodeled. The menu isn't large, it's just right, and it's loaded with great options, and nice craft beers. We ordered the crispy brussel sprouts, which were roasted beautifully with proscuitto (overall, a little salty, but still really good). The bread was super fresh and comes with butter and with roasted garlic which is a nice touch. The pork chop was cooked perfectly, and you get a nice wood fire smoke flavor because of how they prepare it. The beignets were dynamite for dessert. Our server was awesome, very helpful and friendly. The service was outstanding. This is a great spot. They've been in business for a while, and I can see why!

A fast paced diner atmosphere with lots going on. Great menu with great service to back it up. The servings are more than generous and the menu has many options.

We went to willies with 3 couples for some birthday celebrations. We stuffed ourselves silly with amazing appetizers, sushi, seafood, steaks and deserts. The lobster bomb (avocado stuffed with lobster and drizzled in sauce) won "appetizer of the century" I enjoyed a kona coffee steak (cooked perfectly) and my wife loved her swordfish. We finished off the night with some amazing carrot cake and an Irish coffee.
All 6 really enjoyed our meals and apps and our server Nancy made us feel right at home.

Clean and quick place to get coffee, sandwiches, ice cream and breakfast foods. Excellent choices. Not much for gluten free. Hope for them that they adapt to the allergen issues. Nice staff. Quick and delicious coffees and food. I did not eat because of no gluten options. Check it out. Cute and fun location.

This restaurant in my opinion has it all. Great ambiance, great food, huge portions, many food choices and impeccable service. Jimmy's runs specials every night. Tonight my wife and I visited the restaurant and it is $5.00 hamburger night (Mondays from 4-10pm). Colossal size burgers served with fries. Any burger in the house is offered at the above special price. We both ordered the burgers with onion rings as an appetizer. I had a 20os glass of draft beer and my wife had White Zinfandel.
A nice cozy fireplace adds to the joy of dining here. We were very impressed with the service--our server Sarah was excellent. Very efficient and pleasant. She does a great job. This was our first visit to Jimmy's and we'll definitely be going back. Be sure to arrive early and avoid any waitinfg for a booth or table.

Stopped in here with a party of 4 on a Friday night at 5:30. We got seated immediately. By 6-6:30 it was starting to fill up so I suggest getting there on the earlier side. Every staff member we talked with was extremely kind and helpful. Our waitress had the perfect balance of leaving us be and coming over when we needed her. We had a couple of apps and the calamari came with a generous portion. Each drink was deliciously made. I would highly suggest the chocolate martini for dessert! I ordered the eggplant parm which was a huge portion! Everyone at the table loved what they ordered and we were all very surprised by the pricing. It was very low for the quality and quantity! No complaints there! The interior was warm and cozy with tables that were not too close to one another. The restaurant is located off the beaten path with side street parking. I do believe I noticed they have valet parking as well. Don’t let the location scare you away. It’s totally fine and worth it! We can’t wait to go back. Great for a date night or family dinner.

If on a date this place might be pretty good. The service is a little slow. And it is tapas style which is fine but one tapa took long till the next. The drinks were nice and the place is great. The food is solid is just that you can’t order anything after your initial order other wise it takes a while.

What does creative casual cuisine mean? Exactly what it says. We’re creative, because we reject the same-old-same-old in favor of tastes that are interesting and unique. We’re casual because while our food may be worth getting dressed up for, we invite you to come as you are. We’re all about cuisine in the sense that our chefs apply high standards of culinary art. There it is. Creative. Casual. Cuisine. If it sounds like your kind of place, then you – like us- are not your average Joe.

Not as enjoyable as my first meal here, but still good. Tried the mustard chicken again... good, but will try something else on my next stop here. Prefer the regular margarita over the "special" one. Service was fine.
