Such a Fun Spot! Met up with Friends the Day after Thanksgiving for something 'other than' Turkey' ;-). It definitely fit the bill - Burgers, Clam Chowder, Tuna Melt and Great Fries! No pics, we were busy easting, ha! And service was on point. Very close for us and love that it's right near the Water. We'll be back for sure! :-)

Make reservations! Even if it's not supposed to be busy, it's better to let them know you will be dining in! Service was on the slow side when we were there, but the drinks and food were good. But also - you can't go wrong eating bayside in beautiful San Diego!! Outdoor and Indoor (Open air too) seating. Also, dog friendly on the patio!

Fun and beautiful location. Good food. But the service put it as a definite spot to keep on our list. Great service from our server Ryan, and her whole supporting cast. Promptly greeted and welcomed a short time after seating, knowledgeable on menu questions, and consistently and politely checked on throughout our meal. I was most impressed that a casual bar & grill has put systems in place to have runners know where to deliver each dish ordered for the entire party. Kudos. The little stuff is how you do the big stuff. We'll be back Jimmy's. Cheers

Beautiful view of the water. The servers/Bartenders/Food Runners and managers are all awesome! Everyone is always very friendly and helpful. The FOOD! YUM- I mean come on- They have THE BEST Brussel Sprouts (I often try brussel sprouts at other joints and NONE have stacked up to Jimmy's!!!) If you find better PLEASE let me know where!!!
