" I had high hopes for Jimmy's Grotto after hearing so much about it, and I can say it lived up to the hype! The Ponza was fresh and hot, straight out of the fryer, and I appreciated the hearty portions. However, the service could use a bit of work. I felt a bit rushed as we had to place our order at the counter and wait there for it to be ready. Overall, a solid experience and I would recommend it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely phenomenal! As a long-time Waukesha resident, Jimmy's has been a favorite of mine since childhood. The Ponza is as good as it gets, truly a deep-fried piece of perfection! The filling is immensely satisfying and bursting with flavor. Plus, the atmosphere feels like home. For anyone who's never been, you absolutely must go! " (*Curated Review*)

" Jimmy's Grotto is my go-to spot when I'm in the mood for comfort food. The Ponza is an absolute must-try if you've never had one before. It's like biting into a warm hug. The service was friendly but could have been quicker. I love that this place has been family-owned for generations. What's even better is that even after many years, the quality remains consistent. I will return again and again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Jimmy's Grotto has long been my favorite! Their Ponza is what legends are made of. Every time I visit, I'm blown away by the quality and portion sizes. The service can fluctuate, but it's part of the experience in a busy local joint. I wouldn't have it any other way. Definitely a must-try for everyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've brought my kids here many times for their Ponza, they haven’t stopped craving it yet! There’s enough to share, and everything is deliciously made. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, a great place for families. Sometimes the wait can be lengthy, but I assure you it’s worth every minute. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited for the first time with friends, and it's safe to say that the Ponza rocked my world! It's like a calzone but better - deep fried and overflowing with cheesy goodness. The wait time was longer than expected, but it was worth it for the end product. The service could improve, but the flavors more than made up for it. I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been a fan of Jimmy's Grotto forever, but my last visit was slightly disappointing. The food seemed less flavorful than usual, and I had to send my order back due to a mistake. When it came back, it was still not what I ordered. Fortunately, when I finally got the Ponza I was craving, it was excellent as always! Just a bit of an off day maybe - next time will be better!
