Historic Jim’s Steak and Spaghetti House turns 85

6/20/2023

A Huntington institution celebrated a major milestone Friday. Jim’s Restaurant turned 85.

Jim Tweel opened the restaurant in the same location in 1938. It’s still owned by the Tweel family today.

“Being a restaurant and surviving for 85 years in the same family is pretty historical,” said current owner Larry Tweel who still runs the shop with his wife Sally.

“There are some restaurants that have survived that long, but not very many. We are only surviving because of the wealth of talent my dad was able to recruit from 1938 until he died in ’05.” he added.
