Reviews

There were no tables so we had to sit at the bar.
Be sure to make reservations for a Saturday night.
I ordered the Spicy burger and it tasted delicious.
A little on the greasy side but still pretty good.
Had to wipe my hands after each bite.
There was a Serrano pepper in my burger which made it super spicy.
The clam chowder was perfection.
Service was wonderful.
Definitely coming back.

Elenor, Yes, always try to make a reservation if possible, but we am thrilled to hear you got a spot at the bar! Hope to see you again soon.

Very very impressed!!! We came 30 minutes to close (which we wouldn’t normally ever do) and they were so kind to us and sat us. Impeccable service! Everyone was friendly and very attentive and helpful with our questions.
The food was amazing! And I've tried a couple of different items.
I ordered hot Nashville chicken sandwich and FIRE 🔥.
We also got Calamari and my friend the famous French dip.
I love food and the portions are PLENTIFUL! Oh and they had delicious Mocktails- do die for!!! And the ambiance is amazing is great! We were just completely impressed. Jimmy's, thank you for a great experience! Definitely highly recommend!!!

Jasmine, thank you so much for the raving review and 5-stars.
30 minutes before close still means OPEN to us, so come by anytime and we are happy to grab you a table.

What a pleasant surprise! My family just arrived in San Diego and wanted to sit down at a restaurant.
What a great choice!! We initially were a little put off when we realized we needed to pay for parking and also couldn't locate the entrance.
Once we got that figured out, we were seated in under 5 minutes.
The hostess was really sweet with my daughter.
Our waitress Jessica was AWESOME! It was refreshing to have a waitress that actually seemed to enjoy people as this was not the case in a prior experience at a restaurant in Newport.
She also made some great food recommendations.
The fish was so fresh! The burgers were huge.
The fries were delicious.
My favorite of all was the lavender martini.
Oh my! I will be returning especially for that.
What a great start to our San Diego trip! I highly recommend!
