A good local and tourist place. The water views during the day are great. Food was tasty and good portion sizes. The Spicy Chicken Sandwich was tasty. One of the best dishes I had was the calamari. It was cooked correctly with a great flavor profile. The only dishes as the table that left our group wanting was the tacos. Lack or flavor and the Tortilla was dry. Everything else was tasty and the staff was very friendly. Well worth a visit when in the area.

Really good service, nice cocktail options, and a decent local beer selection at a place with a great view. The food got the job done. I actually went back on the same trip a couple of days later to have another one of their Old Fashioneds. Good stuff.

A surprisingly good meal for a place that claims to be famous. A good variety would make anyone happy eating here and you can even say you saw something famous. Also ORDER BRUSSEL SPROUTS so good I’m still thinking about them.

Jimmies NEVER disappoints!! Got stranded here for a month and visited this and a few others here in the Point Loma Marina. Today we had the Albacore Tuna Burger with a side of Parmesan Garlic Fries.. Absolutely delicious and not my first time having it! We also had the crispy Brussel Sprouts also delicious!! Ease come here if you are staying in any of the hotels from Nimitz to Rosecrans... You won't be disappointed!

Very friendly and prompt service. Food is fresh and well prepared. Ask for a seat out on the covered patio if you plan to watch the sunset.

Dined at this restaurant with a prime view of the marina. The menu boasts a selection of classic American dishes. The atmosphere felt a bit touristy, but the outdoor deck with a view overlooking the marina is a highlight. We tried the burger and fish & chips – both were decent, nothing to rave about. The beer.amd cocktail selection, on the other hand, was quite good. A solid choice if you're looking for a casual evening with a nice atmosphere.

Beautiful location and amazing food. The fish and chips is absolutely delicious. The coleslaw wasn't very good unfortunately. The Cobb salad with shrimp added on was also very good and would only recommend they use chilled plates. Otherwise the food was wonderful. The biggest downside is the inattentive service. Drinks not being refilled and just non existent waitress and hostess slowness. Otherwise if this place got their food and service on the same level it will be wonderful.

Man OH MAN!!!! We will keep going back!! Service has never been less than spectacular for the 5 times I've been there. The food has been consistently amazing! And I've tried a couple of different items. I can't seem to not order the fish n chips. they're so good!! Tonight, i got a bite of my Wife's hot Nashville chicken sandwich and FIRE 🔥. I love food and the portions are PLENTIFUL! Our waitress, absolutely amazing! We've only experienced exceptional service. Probably perfect service; greeted at the door, always attentive, fountain drinks never touch the bottom, MIMOSAS on bottomless mimosa days didn't drop below 1/4 glass, on Mother's day greeted with a sunflower, on Valentines day greeted with a rose. Each employee there that we came in contact with had something wonderful to compliment or share with us. And last but not least, the ambiance is amazing whether stopping by for happy hour, watching a game and eating amazing food, holidays, and/or date night. Jimmy's, you all are doing it right!!! Thank You Oh yeah, the prices are very fair!

the food was amazing and service was very nice. cocktails are only $10 and they are strong. we came on taco Tuesday for the salmon tacos. with the view of the marina it felt so serene. I loved the albacore tuna melt. toasted with Parmesan just chefs kiss. the house made chips were a little salty but pairs well with the drinks. Also the filet mignon was divine but they could have done better with the potatoes. definitely need to come back for the French dip.

Every time we go to JFAT, we wonder why we stayed away so long. Brunch, lunch, dinner, we have almost always been happy. They over stuff their deviled eggs which is our favorite way to start the meal. The burgers seem to be overlooked on top lists of burgers in San Diego but whenever we get reminded of how good they are, we wonder why.
