If you're looking for amazing food, this is your spot! It was an hour wait, but we got wristbands to go on the pier while we... waited. The food was phenomenal! We all got something different and it was all amazing! The wait staff was also amazing! Mytoddler was saying hi to all of them and they all stopped to say hi back to her. An amazing atmosphere, amazing staff, andamazing food! Read more
Jimmy's is the place to be if you want to grab a drink and a quick bite, relax, hang out with friends and family, watch the ebb... and flow of the waves, or watch people fish. I came here with my husband and friends on Saturday evening and it wasn't toocrowded. Parking wasn't too bad either. I ordered the Gulf Shrimp Dinner and my husband ordered the fish tacos and both disheswere delicious. We also got the fried pickles but I forgot to take a picture. It was fantastic! The drinks were reasonablypriced as well. We've been here a few times before but this is the first time I wrote a full review. We like Jimmy's and wouldrecommend it! Read more
Love the views here. Staff is very friendly. Not a very wide selection of food but what they do have is delicious. I had the... fish tacos (flounder) I found the taste to be very pleasing. The boiled shrimp was good as well. Check this spot out when inGalveston. Read more
We enjoyed our visit here. There was a 35 minute wait for a table at 3:30pm on a Tuesday during spring break, so that was to be... expected. However, the hostess gave us bracelets to walk the pier while we waited on our table. There were quite a few peoplefishing on the pier. When you first walk up, you enter into a gift shop, which is where you would pay to fish off the pier ($5).To eat at the restaurant, you go to the left side of the entrance that has stairs, where you walk up to open-deck seatingupstairs. Great views, nice, quaint atmosphere, and the food was good. We had great service - never went without a drink - bigplus for me! Two people from our party of 6 ordered the burgers, which looked delicious. One person ordered the bacon wrappedshrimp (pictured below), one had the grill chicken salad - huge portion, by the way, and the rest of us had the shrimp and beeffajita tacos. The onion rings were really good, too. I would recommend this place for someone wanting to get an authenticrestaurant experience on the beach, in a relaxed environment! Read more
We tried this place for the view and it didn't disappoint. The nachos were tasty and huge! The burgers are good, too. I ordered... the gumbo and was literally shocked it was so good. I'm Cajun so I know gumbo. I'd recommend that and the clam chowder in breadbowl. We were surprised the food was as good as it was as you wouldn't expect a fishing pier to serve decent food. The view isthe best to watch a sunset and have some beers. I managed to climb those mile high steps with a bad knee, but they were steep.However, they do have one single table at the bottom on pier level for those who can't climb the long stairway. The staff andwaiters were very friendly, too. I would love to go back if they had a handicap ramp like Tipsy Turtle. Read more
This was the PERFECT place to enjoy a nice weekday lunch with the family. We scored a seat at the rail and had a beautiful view... and stayed in the shade! I've eaten at all the restaurants on the beach-side of the seawall and this one has the best ocean viewby far! The service was awesome and the staff was very pleasant and down to earth. The food was great. We had the crab balls andfish tacos, the kids ate chicken strips and hot dog. The crab balls were really creamy and had lots of crab meat! Only wishthere were more. The fish tacos were delicious- fried and blackened. The french fries were GREAT! I assume the hit dig was goodbc my child ate it all, and I thought the chicken strips were good, but my 5 yr old wanted nuggets instead- go figure. After weate we had some delicious ice cream from the shop and walked out onto the pier (free with meal) and got to watch a guy reel in a3 ft Redfish. Read more
