So…we fish off this pier all the time and this is our first time eating at the restaurant. Let’s just say it was very underwhelming. We ordered the seafood basket and one fish taco. The seafood basket was the fish of the day (flounder) and shrimp with fries. The shrimp was pretty decent. The fish was not seasoned. The breading/batter fell off and was not seasoned. The highlight was the fish taco even though the shell fell apart. My suggestion would be to try a corn tortillas fried because the one provided just completely fell apart. But the fish was great and the sauce was delicious. The fries were abysmal and on par with in n out fries…basically not worth your time unless you drown them in ketchup and chulula. Every table we saw had fries left over. It’s a weird presenting fry cause it appears to be batteered but lacking seasoning. The Tiki Wheat beer is a must try. The service was so so because we came in and sat and no one acknowledged until a young gentleman was cleaning the table next to us and he asked me if I had been taken care of. 😒 Note: I do not have a picture of the seafood basket cause I completely forgot. This is just my opinion give them a try if you are in the Galveston area. Lastly: the price for the seafood platter is to high. If you are gonna charge $30 add some fired oyster..hush puppies or something Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30 Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3

Our food was okay. A bit expensive. The service was great! Our server was super friendly. Our food came out to us quickly. The view was amazing! The dining room got super loud and it was hard to carry on a conversation. It was more of a bar feel. The bouncer / host guy to get into the place - not so much. He was so rude to me that we almost left before getting a table. I'm glad we didn't leave because the rest of the staff was much nicer.

We went to Jimmy's at around 2pm for a late lunch. Luckily there were a lot of free space and we picked a table with nice sea view. Not only that we could see the tides at the best spot, but also we could see a couple of surfers. Another interesting thing about this restaurant is that they have some birds walking around, keenly waiting for any food you will give them. We ordered Gulf Shrimp and Jimmy's Burger. Both were satisfying. The foods were freshly cooked and served hot. Shrimps were juicy with crispy shell. The French fries coming with the burger is also nicely done. It was a windy day so we had to finish the food fast before it got cold. But with the amazing view, that's well worth it. The service is attentive without any overdoing. Recommended!

This was a great food experience, but the service was bad. We sat down, and it took someone like 15 minutes before they came to ask for our drinks. I would have understood if it was busy, but there were only 4 tables with people. Waitress was also not writing anything down anything that we ordered and kept coming back and asking again what we ordered, and even then, she still got one order wrong and our drinks wrong, too, so service was bad. The place was nice. It was night, and they had everything open. Fresh sea air was refreshing. The food was awesome. I did enjoy that part but can't stress that service was bad.

A bit chaotic, but well worth the wait! Great views over the ocean. Excellent breeze flowing through this open air pier restaurant. Fish dinner was fantastic. Great flavor, perfectlyrics cooked! Good place to enjoy the sunset and free access to the pier with drinks and/or food.

I had the catch of the day with shrimp and rice, the food and service was fantastic. This is a covered, open air place and the breeze flowing through with the ocean below us really added to the experience. We took a walk to the end of the pier after dinner (which was free with dining purchase) and it was great!

I took an out of town guest here and we both loved it. The fried oysters were my favorite. The bloody mary was ok...nothing special. The gumbo was yummy. The only thing we didn't care for was the mojito. It was clean and our waiter/waiter in training did a good job. I found the prices to be very reasonable especially for the location.
