Jimmy and Gloria Bidding Farewell As New Era Begins for Jimmy’s Grill In Molino
January 26, 2025
Jimmy’s Grill is entering a new chapter as longtime owners Jimmy and wife Gloria Carter pass the torch to the Gardner family, according to a social media post made Saturday night by the beloved Molino restaurant.
In a heartfelt announcement, the couple expressed gratitude to the community, their staff, and loyal patrons for their unwavering support over the past 14 years.
“We are humbled by the unwavering support from our guests, who have become an extension of our family over the past fourteen years, and the divine blessings from our Lord Jesus Christ,” they wrote.
The official transition will take place on February 1, with the Gardners set to continue the legacy of excellence. The Gardeners were not named in the post, but Jimmy voiced confidence in them, stating their passion for the community would elevate Jimmy’s Grill to new heights.
The couple closed their message with well-wishes for the Gardners and thanks to all who contributed to the restaurant’s success, marking the end of an era for their family and a promising new beginning for Jimmy’s Grill.

Well the new owners have big shoes to fill. Jimmy and Gloria are a great couple to work for. They will be truly missed at the restaurant. I hope they go on to enjoy their retirement, or whatever they have in mind for the rest of their lives. God Bless!
We love Jimmy’s grill .I hate that they are passing it on to new owners. But I wish them the very best..
Hopefully the food will remain the same with a few new items ..
We welcome the new owners.
We love Jimmy’s Grill! We had plans to come up with friends when the snow storm came. We postponed until February. So glad Jimmy and Gloria are passing the legacy on and not closing down.
The only change I would like to see is more grilled or baked options for those that can’t eat fried foods and maybe a few more veggie options. The food , the service and the atmosphere are are already excellent! I hope the store stays the same as well. Love the homemade goodies and neat gift selections.
@JJ,
My sons and their wives rave about Jimmy’s and live very close by. They order from Jimmy’s a couple of times a week, but every time I’ve been, I’ve had a poor experience. Staff has been slow and dismissive…I’ve had to get their attention repeatedly for the basics, such as cutlery when the food is already on the table and empty glasses while the server is chatting with other tables. The food has been adequate but nothing to rave about, and I’ve felt distinctly uncomfortable for not being a regular.
Having been in the restaurant business (from dishwasher to cook to server to management to owner) for 40 years, I’ve been distinctly unimpressed and rather disappointed. There will be no apology nor bowing from my end. I’m hoping the Gardners do a better job.
Wish jimmy an Gloria good health an happiness in their new chapter

Jimmys menu shows 30pcs for $15.95
Rumors are so disgusting to the public…
Check the facts before typing!
Jimmy’s has been a blessing and Fran’s before and the Gardners for the future. Thank you for providing great food, smiling face and a place to see our neighbors.
Some folks would complain if you loaded their pockets with gold nuggets. “All that weight hurts my back. Why can’t you carry it for me. If people find out I have all this gold they might rob me. is this the highest quality available? although I have nothing now, I don’t want low quality stuff.”
Jimmy’s is awesome, I never had a bad meal there and have been eating there for 14 years.
I like how they passed those Devine blessings on to their customers by charging 20$ for 10 chicken wings
Every time we pass this place it’s PACKED! It has to be good to draw that much of a crowd! Hopefully soon I can take the fam there and find out for myself. Wishing the best to previous and new owners!!

I hope they KEEP Jimmy’s seafood gumbo. It is the best I’ve had anywhere. And, also Gloria’s lumpia. Did they say why they are leaving? Retiring?
hopefully the salt will be reduced and an better selection – changed often – and kept clean—change the name and announce when they have changed so those of us that pass it (I could almost walk to it and never go) know that a new restaurant is now open
@mnon
Never had a problem with the QUALITY at Jimmys, been going since Fran turned it over to him.
You should bow and apologize
Hopefully the quality improves and they can keep staff now.
It will be hard to beat the wonderful care and service that Jimmy and Gloria has provided our community. They will be surely missed, two friends and a class act.
Best of luck in your feature endeavors.

Jimmy’s Grill was a great place to stop going south to Pensacola or north coming home. I wish them all the best in their next step in life. I look forward to the next version of Jimmy’s and hope the food and service and atmosphere stays the same.
