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!
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 a real great time. The place was super busy and the poor staff seemed to be really stretched thin. I sat at the bar with great views of the beach and the breeze blowing and the seabirds swirling. Just a real cool place to sit and eat really. The food was very good and wow did I get more than I thought I was going to. The bartender changed a few things around on the dish to make it be what I wanted which I really appreciated. Really good place, very hard working staff. Much appreciated!
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!
Great location and view. Server tried hard and did well knowing two of the four weren’t at work. Food had a good flavor and portions were large. Nice selection of food and drinks. Nicely decorated seating area and very comfortable with the breeze flowing through.

To get to the restaurant, you have to go up a long flight of stairs. It was tricky for a grandma with a bad knee but we made it. Once there, I asked if it was all outdoor seating and the guy seating us seemed rather annoyed and said yes we would have to deal with the weather and the birds. We had a party of 6 and asked about putting 2 high tables overlooking the water together but he didn't want to because he didn't know how busy it was going to get. Spoiler alert: on a Tues afternoon it didn't get busy.
The waiter was a little slow moving but not unfriendly. He refilled drinks before asked. So I'd say the service was pretty good.
The food was the reason I'd go back. I had the Gulf shrimp with rice, veggies and a garlic aioli. It was really good. I heard the the gumbo and chicken sandwich were good and the burgers were really good.
You can walk on the pier with your receipt. I wouldn't recommend going when it's 90 and feels like 105 like we did. But I would go back at a nicer time of year.
We will be back! Amazing view and what's better than seafood so fresh it was caught on the pier in front of you?!? Only criticism would be we wished the waitress would have come back to the table after bringing the food. We only had one drink each due to not being able to order more. No worries though!
Middle of June and no ac needed…wonderful breeze made Jimmy’s very comfortable. My wife had the shrimp tacos and I had the Coastal Fish Feature. This meal was absolutely amazing. Best seafood I’ve ever had in Galveston. Vicki was an excellent waitress. Great value, great views and amazing food.
The location is PERFECT (sit on the railing, it's the best!) and the drinks are great. Unfortunately my order was forgotten about somehow and I never got my food and didn't get a chance to ask our server until she was bringing us the check. She was extremely apologetic and had the kitchen fix my meal to go. She gave us that plate for free, plus an additional 10% off the total bill. Normally I'd be really upset that my meal was just forgotten about, but they did a great job making it up to us. The fish tacos are AMAZING and my boyfriend loved the crab balls. Even with the mishap, we will return when we come back to Galveston!
What a beautiful place overlooking the water and the fishing pier. Was craving a cheeseburger and with an added egg and avocado, this did not disappoint. They cooked the egg somehow that made it especially buttery greasy and bursting with flavor! The fries also had a batter taste to them, but it was good! Would have gone well with malt vinegar! They were the kind of fries that are good even when they are cold! The pina colada was less on the sweet side and didn't taste very strong, but it was ok. There was a hint of shrimp flavor, but it must be from cooking on the same grill? They were packed so things were a bit slow, but it is a holiday weekend. The waiters seemed to have that slick bar pick up feel 😆. Very personable and attentive, but i noticed that they all had that same composure. Very smooth but very hard working! Excellent staff, good job tonight guys!
