Jims Open Kitchen - Solon

Casual American diner. I had a burger/fries combo and a chocolate shake. Everything was delicious, the service was fast and friendly, and I loved the classic diner atmosphere. Would definitely eat here again.

For having an “open” kitchen, there is no care taken for wearing gloves or cross contamination. Witnessed one cook not wearing gloves, touching raw bacon and then using his bare fingers to check the temperature of sausages cooking. Gloves need to be worn when touching prepared food that goes to a customer. Gloves need to be changed after touching raw meat. The cook used his bare hands to move cooked sausages from the grill to plates and then served them to customers. The other cook was wearing gloves, but I witnessed him blow/wipe his nose and he did not change his gloves after. He used the same gloves to continue to cook food that went to customers. Neither cook ever washed his hands or changed gloves. It’s a disrespect for the food industry and lack of professionalism. If you do not have respect for the industry or cannot follow food safety protocols, you should not work in the food industry. I would recommend reading their health score from the Cuyahoga Board of Health violations before dining here.
