Nick & Jimmy's On 2 (https://www.facebook.com/nickandjimmys.toledo)

Nick & Jimmy’s in Toledo have been around as far as I can remember. To be honest though, I never understood why so many people had such a “hard on” for the place.

 

Ironically though, I got kind of excited when I heard they were opening a new spot on Airport Hwy called Nick & Jimmy’s on 2. This location used to be home of Chowders n Moore who happened to build an extremely nice patio during their occupancy. Then came NJ deciding to make the patio even more badass. It is so well done that the actual contractor who did this remodel deserves to have their name on the sign more than the owners themselves. By far, the patio there will be NJ2’s biggest asset. Personally though, my favorite update is the intriguing “hardware” on the bar….. kudos for that one fellas!

 

A few critical items to mention though …First, we got more dude bartenders! Oh my god… must I go over this again?  I’m simply too tired to try and explain this over and over so… if a place insists on having male bartenders, at least hire ones that aren't wannabe UFC fighters.

 

Then there’s the female staff… (sigh)… just more of your standard plain janes with enthusiasm levels of dryer lint…. I can only hope their evening staff is better. And how has it become acceptable for these chicks to openly “dick around” on their smart phones while on the job? Oh how I hate the age we live in!! …smart phones have literally made us all into a bunch of DBs!

 

Anyhow…What else? …oh right…when I order my food, its preferable not to have it come out charred up and cold after waiting an hour and twenty for it… just sayin’.

 

Nonetheless, I still know a few people out there who really jerk off to the whole Nick & Jimmy's institution so I promised them I’d give it one more try. If I come back and get a totally different experience than what I had originally, I will make sure to revise my review and publicly apologize to NJ’s for being such a harsh jackass. I really don’t see that happening though so in the meantime, Nick n Jimmy’s on 2 gets an A+ for their remodel job…. D- for everything else.
