San Antonio’s late-night crowd may be getting an old friend back. Jim's Restaurants is getting ready to turn the lights on all night again at its Broadway and Loop 410 location, with managers eyeing a return to 24-hour service in the days after Christmas. If the plan sticks, it would restore a longtime after-hours anchor on the Broadway corridor that saw its schedule trimmed during the pandemic.
Front-desk employee Nelson Bolanos told MySA that the Broadway branch is aiming to resume round-the-clock service on a day between next Friday and January 1. Bolanos said the restaurant has been hiring overnight staff to cover new shifts, describing those hires as part of preparations for the tentative switch back to 24-hour operations.
Official hours still show early closing
For now, the company’s locations page still lists the Broadway & Loop 410 restaurant’s hours as 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., so regulars should treat any post-holiday overnight plans as tentative until corporate makes it official. According to Jim's Restaurants, the Broadway site currently shows that 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. schedule along with the branch’s contact number.
Local chatter and timing
MySA also pointed to a post in a popular “San Antonio restaurants” Facebook group that pegged on Friday as the likely first 24-hour day. At the time of that report, the chain had not issued a corporate announcement, leaving Bolanos’s comments and local chatter as the clearest public hints at the timing.
Where the chain stands
The overnight experiment is unfolding as Jim’s continues to tighten its footprint. KSAT reported that the longtime Broadway Jim’s closed in March 2024, while a Bandera Road closure announced this summer and other location shutdowns have been tracked as part of a broader pullback. That recent history suggests the chain is consolidating while testing whether late-night demand is strong enough to justify overnight hours at select spots.
