Café Sjors & Sjimmie Nijmegen in Wijk 01 Nijmegen-Centrum

The bouncer at this bar judged me unfairly, saying my eyes looked “too big” and assumed I was on drugs, so I wasn’t allowed in. Very unprofessional and rude.

Was served a dish with meat as a vegetarian and cause we took a bit they wouldn’t take it back?? Mind it was a croquette, so there was no way to tell….

A place with great music, perfect for hanging out with friends. The party was great too!

Delicious food, good service, helpful but not pushy.

We had a lovely lunch here together. It was incredibly delicious. We had the carpaccio, club sandwich, and nachos. You really get a huge amount. We both thought we'd have a nice lunch dish and nachos to share, but we honestly couldn't finish it all. Super nice terrace with delicious and plentiful food :)

A great location to sit outside when the weather is nice and watch the hustle and bustle of the pedestrian zone.

What terrible service. Ordered tonic with a Citroën, and tonic was delivered, but the Citroën had forgotten. After calling someone twice, it was finally delivered, but without a tamper... A real disaster, and the drinks are pricey.

A charming location that immediately appealed to us, with a lovely terrace. The service was good. Unfortunately, we were told there was no Hertog Jan on tap. So, we'll have to try something else. Lunch: croquettes on toast, covered in a thick layer of lettuce, the worst of which was drowned in mustard. The mustard was also sour and overpowering. Tip: add mustard! You can adjust this to your own taste. It was heavy on the stomach, so we didn't eat it all. Worst lunch ever!

I recently ordered a rather pricey cocktail, but unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. The taste was bland, and the drink didn't look like what I'm used to with this type of cocktail. It didn't live up to my expectations at all; it simply didn't taste good. I politely pointed this out to the bartender and asked if I could exchange the drink. Unfortunately, I received zero understanding: he was very confident in his own creation and refused to offer an alternative. He said the drink should taste like this, but as a regular cocktail drinker and bartender, I know exactly how it should be—and this didn't even come close. When I tried to explain that it wasn't personal, but purely my opinion as a customer, he reacted with irritation. It's a shame, because I come here regularly and expected customer service to be paramount, especially with a drink this price. From now on, I won't order cocktails with this bartender behind the bar. Fortunately, there are other places nearby, like 3G or Walkade, where you'll receive friendly service and get what you expect. My experience at Sjors and Jimmy's was utterly disappointing. It felt like ordering a steak "well done" and getting it "raw," only to have the chef tell you to just accept it because it's already cooked. I've never experienced anything like it before. It seems that at some establishments, service and customer satisfaction have given way to pride and profit. Fortunately, we still had a wonderful evening at another establishment, where the cocktails were perfect and the hospitality outstanding.

While I am hesitant to provide negative feedback, I must express my dissatisfaction with the service received. The waitstaff's performance was subpar. Despite two requests, the lime was never provided.

Delicious beer, friendly service, crazy prices, and a cozy terrace! I'll definitely be back. #borrelplank #delicious

1 star – What a disgrace! I don't know exactly what's wrong here, but this was the final straw. The three of us went to this restaurant for—yes—three simple sandwiches. No five-course menu, no complicated order. And yet? We waited over an hour. An. Hour. And we weren't the only ones. Everyone looked frustrated, as if they were in a waiting room instead of a restaurant. When we politely asked why it was taking so long, we received no emotion from the staff. As if we were being a nuisance. After over an hour, we were told: "It'll take another five minutes." Ten minutes later? Still nothing. When we inquired again, we were told, flatly, that there was "nothing they could do" and that we couldn't get our money back. Why? Because you have to pay upfront. Well, if that's not a red flag, I don't know what is. Paying upfront takes away all the ambiance and makes the whole experience cold and impersonal. And seriously – even at McDonald's, you can get your money back if something goes wrong. Not here. No service, no compensation, no apologies. Just disinterest. We'll never be back. And honestly? I wouldn't recommend anyone wasting their time or money here.

They forget your order and then blame you. After we reported this three times we went to the manager Micha. What a ballsy guy he is. He says he has a solution by giving you half of your order and then acting like a kind of god. The customer is not king here

Unbelievably bad service. They don't speak the languages. Takes an incredibly long time while it wasn't busy. We sat with our family for lunch. It's just not right and there are very incompetent people working there. Furniture not good while where we sat we could sit fine. There is work to be done because this has the potential to be a top place.

I've been waiting for my baco for 1 hour.

Great! What a service! Kei skon sat here with a beer. I will definitely go back in a year! Wow

Friendly very open-minded drinks prices are very good and a good selection thank you

Unfortunately, we had disappointing service twice in a row

Sat on the terrace. After payment we found out that the specialty beers were 3.75 until 8 p.m. That's why the lady we paid with gave us a refund of 7.50. By means of refund via my debit card. However, I look at my bill and see that the 7.50 has also been deducted. So I paid 15 euros too much. Emailed about this to find a solution but no response.

Op leuk pleintje in de binnenstad van Nijmegen kan je heerlijke vers gesneden en gefrituurde friet eten. Je kan ook kiezen uit diverse toppings. Er is plek om binnen te eten maar met mooi weer is het buiten makkelijk een bankje te vinden in de zon

Service was poor, we were not asked who had what wine and we just had to figure out which wine it was. We also couldn't order food at 5pm and were told we had to wait half an hour. The pornstars were sour and bitter, for which we paid 12 euros.

We had a drink on the terrace, it was cold, but it was doable with the heaters

We were only helped after 20 minutes. After waiting half an hour for our drinks, it turned out that the order had not gone through. But already paid! I wanted cash back, but that wasn't possible. I had to fill out a form with my bank account number??? Staff is unfriendly and unmotivated. I will never go here again!

25 euros for 2 foreign spirits, but it was not a double. The terrace was empty while the neighbors were very cozy and full. What slow service without enthusiasm. From now on, look further on the terrace....

1 of the waiters was rude, he put the drink on the table without saying anything and then said order? When we indicated that we had already ordered, he said nothing and walked away irritated. In addition, the food is a rip-off in relation to the quantity. And that's not even talking about the incredibly dirty toilets. First and last time, never again for us...

Waste of time and money . The waiters were not friendly. The amount of food was very small and the food was very expensive. Unfortunately, the restaurant's restroom was extremely dirty. If I had seen the restroom first, I would never have eaten there. And it's better if the goal is not just making money, but customer service and respect for the customer are also important. I'll post some pictures of the toilet here. 😷 100% the first and the last time ‼️

We zaten hier met 6 gasten tijdens de zeven heuvelen loop. Besteld iets voor 17.00. Bediening had wifi problemen maar de order leek goed te gaan. Daarna 30 min gewacht en kwam ze terug dat t niet goed gegaan was. Eten kon niet meer. Opnieuw besteld ook deze bon was niet doorgekomen. Zelf naar de bar gelopen en toen was het er met 2 min. Gelijk betaald maar geen compensatie gezien. Jammer leek een leuke tent.

Passive operation and not knowledgeable. We had to pay ourselves twice and then wait for fifteen minutes...

Rip off. In addition to a small beer, we ordered what the waitress said was homemade lemonade. We received a cocktail glass filled to the top with ice cubes with a splash of syrup and water. 5.30 for a glass with ice cubes is audacious. When the waitress was asked about it, she smiled and wanted to tell her boss. Never again!!!

Tip of nuts with beers on the terrace.....3 euros. You normally get that everywhere.

Rrrrrrrahhhh completely wild I did a somersault a sah

Food was good, but nothing special. The wait staff was friendly.

They made a cocktail for me that wasnt on the card, was very nice.

I spent €75 on the terrace only to be sent to the Cafeteria to relieve myself. Inhuman!

€10.50 for half a glass of limoncello spritz is really not worth anything.

When we first walked in, the atmosphere seemed okay due to the cozy decoration, but once we got there it fell far below expectations. We waited 20 minutes for staff to come and we had to pay immediately. We then waited another 15 minutes for 2 beers. All this while only 3 other tables were occupied. The staff mainly stood around doing nothing, was not friendly or motivated and did not radiate much positive. It's a shame that the service is so poor, because the tent is really nicely decorated and maintained. It was nice that you had to pay right away because you could just walk away after waiting half an hour for 1 beer. By the way, half of the staff didn't speak Dutch and you couldn't order from them either.

Bad tent. Sent out because I wasn't allowed to order anything at the bar, plus an aggressive security guard and staff. Definitely not recommended

After beer on the terrace, being harassed by door staff for visiting the toilet

Even though it was very busy due to the Nijmegen Four Days Marches, they were always friendly and had a good time. nice staff.

A lot of food on the menu is often out of stock, which is a shame,

Dit bedrijf zit op een leuk locatie maar daar is alles mee gezegd. De bediening negeert je als je iets wil bestellen. Het eten is echt een aanfluiting. We hebben de microscoop erbij moeten pakken om de kip te kunnen vinden op de nachos, eigenlijk gold hetzelfde voor de saus. Het broodje kip was prima maar het brood met avocado was ronduit een schande. Een halve avocado op twee boterhammen, verder veel sla en wat mayonaise en een hard gebakken ei. Ik had € 1,75 extra betaald voor spek. Ik kreeg wel geteld één plakje!?! Op de kaart stond getoast brood, sesamzaadjes, humus, een gepocheerd eitje, etc. Niets van dat al. Het vierde gerecht kwam pas toen de andere al klaar waren met eten. Geen excuses of iets! Waarschijnlijk mikt men hier op toeristen en dagjes mensen want op deze manier bouw je geen vaste klantenkring op!

Had a hamburger sandwich, nothing special, expected more for that price.

Bad service, lady does not speak Dutch and has difficulty accepting loose money as she is afraid of making mistakes with counting. Moreover, having to wait 10 minutes for a beer, and more than 1 hour for food. 😤 #badservice #impatient #hungry

We ordered drinks twice and paid immediately after ordering. The first time it took around 15 minutes before we got the drink. But it was busy, so understandable. The second time we waited 30 minutes. After pointing it out several times, we decided to walk away because it took so long and the terrace had become a lot quieter. 11 euros wasted. You see many servers walking with two drinks or sometimes just one coffee. Not efficient. We won't be coming back here again. Too bad for such a nice place on Koningsplein.

For the first time in my life, my language level was measured when I entered a bar, by the staff at the door. I have traveled to nearly 20 countries and entered 10s of places in each of them, but it is very painful to be exposed to such racism in the country I live in.

Unfortunately bad first experience. I wanted to have lunch here but unfortunately never got around to it. We already had the lunch menu. If not, we probably would never have gotten it. Everything I had chosen on the menu as something I wanted to order was not on the online ordering system. I don't know what the reason for this was, but I can't ask either.

The food was of good quality and very tasty. The waitstaff, on the other hand, doesn't understand much of it. The (English) service does more wrong than right. When the right thing is finally delivered, that is very nice. Otherwise a great atmosphere.

A good place if you are thirsty

You will be helped faster in a hospital

We came for a cup of coffee and 2 milkshakes. The coffee came quickly, but we had to wait 20 minutes after the coffee for the milkshakes, even though it was an order. The waitress didn't speak Dutch (shouldn't be a problem), but didn't understand the problem with the order. The problem was only solved immediately by the third waitress

It took a very long time before we were helped. And when an order was taken, people who sat longer were skipped. Bread for lunch was dry and tough and falls apart when cut. But pay full price for a sandwich. It's better to go to Bakker Bart around the corner.

The atmosphere was nice but not that much.

Nice terrace with plenty of places. Also a diverse card. Sat on the terrace for 25 minutes and the staff walked by several times but no order was taken. Unfortunately left the terrace and went to the competitor. Too bad this review didn't have to be negative.

2.5 for the toilet for a day and 0.7 for 1x while we had a drink with them and then do the same when we want to go to the toilet. Very rude manager and doesn't accept cash

We were having drinks at Hun's and had to pay 2.50 per day or 0.70 for the toilet, no problem. But it was only possible via pin which we did not have, very rude. Then the manager came who also responded very bluntly that they did not accept cash.

160 euros for 6 beers and 2 Long Island iceteas. There are no beer prices on the menu. Never again

Nice cafe, the lockers for coats did not work properly, but an employee of the cafe very kindly helped us with that. It's a pity that you can only pay by card and not in cash.

Nice cafe, as soon as you order something you have to pay so you can leave as soon as you finish it, good service!

If you are wondering for a good bar and drinks, you should definitely visit this place! You don’t need to wait for waiters, you can place your order with QR scan on each table! Super easy!

Too bad you have to wait almost 45 minutes for 2 cocktails. Almost empty terrace and after asking 3 times you finally get your drink. Shame! Once, never again.

After waiting half an hour, an order was placed and after another half hour of waiting, it turns out that the order has not been processed even though payment has been made and the time of payment has been proven. Very bad service, not a pleasant atmosphere at all. Highly recommended!

Recently we were sitting with friends and we were charged all kinds of beer that we had not had. Overpayment was not possible and we also had to pay for the part we had not received. Bad weather and service

I am a lover of terraces and enjoy a relaxing time outdoors. I recently decided to visit Sjors & Sjimmie. Sadly I have to say that my experience was a mix of positive and negative aspects. The terrace itself offered a pleasant atmosphere and had beautiful views, perfect for a relaxing afternoon. However, my enthusiasm was quickly dampened when I decided to go inside. The smell of wood rot and mothballs was overpowering and made my visit to the café less pleasant. As for the beer, I was hoping for a refreshing drink, but unfortunately the beer was on the woody side. The taste seemed to be affected by what seemed like an overdose of wood flavors, which made my drinking experience less enjoyable. Despite these less positive aspects, I have to say that the staff were friendly and the service was generally good. The terrace itself offered a nice ambiance to relax, but the interior clearly left much to be desired. In the future I hope that Sjors & Sjimmie pays some attention to the internal odor problems and improves the quality of the beer. With these improvements, this cafe could really become a fantastic place for anyone who likes to enjoy the outdoors. I will definitely recommend this cafe to everyone!

Ringed in 2024 in a great way! Had a nice party. Friendly staff nice cafe 👍🏼

Very nice music, great atmosphere The downside is drinks, in our opinion there are few non-alcoholic options, no cocktails available Light Lemonade is not tasty

Guests are invisible for waiters.

Ordered beers and burger. But burger never came. Otherwise service was good.

Nice tent, often a nice audience. Only you can no longer pay with cash here, completely ridiculous. It is legal tender. I think that Mr. Khalid Oubaha, who in my opinion owns far too many catering properties - will pay more than enough in cash.

What bad service. You pay 10 euros for half a glass of foam and 5 euros for a few ice cubes. Ridiculous and then not wanting to help the customer any further and just saying “yes, this is how it should be” and then walking away because they cannot win the discussion. Ridiculous!!!!!!!

Had a drink on the terrace while shopping. Friendly service, a cozy terrace and a nice location :)

Only had a drink: bad experience partly due to lax and/or inexperienced staff. Some employees seemed quite arrogant. After pointing out differences between the menu and the online menu, the response was, 'in reality it is somewhere in between'? After asking if they could ask the chef, the staff member in question seemed insulted. Orders arrived incorrectly with no offer of resolution or compensation. All in all an expensive cafe without expected quality.

You wait a very long time for your order, when you ask for it you get it quite quickly from an extremely grumpy boy, who just doesn't throw the glasses on the tables... too bad!

We have been waiting for our drink for more than half an hour and have already been asked twice where it is. The bitterballen arrived within 5 minutes, a bit of a shame that we didn't get any drinks with them. You also have to pay in advance here.

Sitting comfortably in the sun. The way to the toilet was difficult to find due to insufficient lighting. Dangerous on the stairs!

Order was placed 2 hours before closing times. Order got cancelled 2min before arriving? No explanation, no money back, nothing. No phone number to call. Seems i'm not the only one.. these boys are speed running the 1-star reviews I see..

The taste of the food is more than good, why 4 and not 5 stars? The sandwich was a Kaiser roll that had not been cut open, with the carpaccio on it instead of a focaccia as described in the menu. Menus without prices 😕, the prices can be found on the internet. The bouncer Sjimmy was excellent.

Waited an hour on a sandwich with egg after I asked for a second time they said I didn't order it!

Had a beer on the terrace! Pleasant.

Bartender takes order, pays. But don't spend it. Threatening to be deported.... We paid 39 euros to be verbally abused.

Bwa, normal, nothing special. Only a card without prices, this is disrespectful to customers and gives the impression that you pay too much in this business.

Very bad experience on last saturday night, my girlfriend went to the club with her friend and the bartender (tall blond thin, no tattoo nor glasses) has splashed her in the face with water while she was ordering, later he has pulled her hair and other physical touches (non consented of course). I hope this kind of behaviour can be repressed and we can let girls alone when they just want to enjoy their time with friends. I'm open to discuss further about this event.

it was a great evening at sjors&sjimmie.

Why lay cards on the table without prizes... Very expensive place for 1 small coffee €3.5. No, I won't go there again...

But sat for a while and had a drink. Service was fast and friendly. Terrace looked neat. Nice and varied, regular terrace seats, higher bar tables and chairs and also seating areas.

Nice and pleasant place, good atmosphere

Tasty ice coffee. Just spilled a drink for the time. I had already paid for the drink (8 euros) but they could not give me the same drink, but they could give me an ice coffee that was 3 euros cheaper. I was completely covered. First came up with a strange solution, I would get the next drink for free without deducting the first drink. Afterwards I came up with a suitable solution that my drink was free. But they should have offered this as the first solution. Ice coffee was very tasty!

Was great during the summer parties

It had been a while since I had been here. But the atmosphere was as usual.

Super fun with the 4 day parties

Was here again during the Nijmegen four-day event. Actually like every year. Stand a little higher on the square so you have a good overview. And stand next to the bar. It's also very easy. Prices are fine. This year I also entered the toilet via the side where I was standing. Very well organised. We'll be there again next year.

Very nice again with the 4-day parties

Cozy environment during the Nijmegen 4-day event.

Good and tasty alcohol-free cocktail.

Nice location on catering square. Service friendly, but didn't pay attention to us. Took some effort to order something. There was no system. More people had this problem.

€18.50 for 2 beers and 6 bitterballen, bitterballen were put on the table first. The beers arrived twenty minutes later.

The food was delicious. Unfortunately, the QR codes for ordering did not work properly. It is also the feeling that the servers did not understand us properly.

Few and inexperienced staff. Even if the terrace is not full, it takes a long time to be served. We saw part of our order waiting for 10 minutes before a waitress actually arrived. The wine too warm, the burger cold and a long wait. Too bad because the taste was good!

Still super impersonal with QR codes to order. Still high prices, despite this. It also takes a long time to get your drink.

Nice to be here with family and friends, but unfortunately the lettuce only so few types of vegetables, the bread is perfect, the meat is nice and soft. And the staff less friendly.

Not my style of music, not very personal treatment at the bar, but the bar staff work hard and you get your drink quickly. Update: rebuild again, that sjimmies kitchen is a disaster. No more personal service, you don't get to speak to anyone even if you wanted to. If you order 6 chicken things, you will receive 4, but no one can tell you that. Food is ok, but expensive and takes a long time to get it. How long can it take you to cook 4 chicken things.
