Jimmy's Fish House & Iguana Bar

Service was terrible. Been coming for years but this is the last time they see my coin. Go to Opal. Has the views. Great food and drinks. Much better service.

We loved sitting at the outdoor bar here. We also love that they do the sunset shots. It's a really cool experience and the views are amazing. We didn't have anything to eat this time, but we'll try the food when we go back. It was pretty crowded so the service was okay. The atmosphere itself is enough to go though!

This place had so many pros our first visit which is why we are choosing 3 stars. First night we walked in and we're greeted right off with smiles and enthusiasm that flowed into the service provided by our awesome server, Tom. We got water and our drink of choice, we got our table bread which was so soft and yummy, our grilled oysters came out fresh and hot, a long with the rest of our food. Wonderful, awesome, let's come again!
Second night, we were not greeted with the same energy by any means, in fact it seemed more of annoyance, we were then seated and waited about 10 min before our server came to introduce himself. We placed our order and drink order quickly because we knew what we wanted. Our drinks come with no water, no coaster so there are puddles all over the table, my first drink came out with floating stuff in it, it was replaced, and then our oysters came out not hot and looked and tasted as if they may have been sitting for a minute before reaching the table. We never got our table bread while waiting either. We waved over the manager about the difference in service all the way around and he could not care less. We didn't even want a break in our bill, it was just disappointing to not get the same experience both times. The manager stated he felt the same because The live DJ started out the evening with slower music and he had been busy on the phone all day with DirecTV to get ready for football games for the next evening. Unfortunately, we do not plan on coming back.

Our Market Price apps were a waste of $$. Grilled Oysters were all cheese and garlic butter. Oyster meat was the size of a shelled peanut. Gulf Shrimp in Martini Glass was overcooked. However, my wife’s Market Price Grouper sandwich was excellent. My Cuban sandwich was difficult to eat and Swiss was melted goop, causing it to flow out of sandwich. We expected better from this local favorite but felt more like a tourist trap. We frequent Clearwater Beach and have eaten at many of the local restaurants. Jimmy’s fell short of our expectations.

The waitress was pleasant and attentive but the food was bland and greasy. Some bloke (employee) was just standing there watching us eat the whole time which was awkward!
Everything was made worse when we asked for the bill. The waitress just took our card without even showing us the bill, then brought out the section that you sign and add a tip. The cost seemed high for 2 meals and a coke so we asked for the actual bill to find they had already added a $16.54 service charge!! Underhanded tactics to get a double tip and recoup the money lost for the free kids meals provided by the hotel. Won’t be eating there again.

My only Complaint is my food is gone..Everytime we come it’s amazing and the service is so good ! You guys have a great team there and I wish nothing but the best for everyone ! From breakfast to dinner you guys don’t miss.Chicken and waffles are insane.Lovely views while eating and sitting at the bar , and steps from the beautiful Clearwater beach .

Good seafood, good service, great live music and entertainment! Great place to hangout by the water in the evening if you're staying at the Holiday Inn.

We had to move our table on the patio because cigar smoke was blowing right in our faces. Then we had to move inside when our food was served because the outside lights didn’t come on. The patio door was open, and the cigar smoke was coming inside.

If you want to drink-this is probably a good choice. If you want a fresh seafood dining experience-this is not the place for you.

The waitress was amazing and very attentive. The food was sub par and I am not sure why this is a “fish house” since they hardly had seafood options. I bravely ordered the salmon with crab and it was dry, over cooked, not enough crab and bland as ever. My partner ordered a burger and even that wasn’t cooked well since it also lacked flavor, meat was rubbery and not fresh. Bad food, bad decor and not worth even ordering a glass of water.
