I'm only giving 2 stars because the young lady working there, Sarah, was so nice and really tried to make things better. We had the Redfish, the Seafood Platter, and the Breadless burger. The place was kind of dark in places, and not a nice atmosphere kind of dark. A door was open, and the wind and rain was whipping through. There were not a lot of people there, but between the music and background noise, we couldn't carry a conversation very well and had to yell. My husband ordered a beer and our server, Aaron, came back to tell him he was out of that kind, to pick another. Then he came back again and said he was mistaken, there is one Heineken left, but no more after that. No big deal, but strange delivery. We ordered food and it was all pretty crappy. The Redfish was the best of them, but it was maybe a 5/10. The sauce has a kick to it, but not good flavor. The fries with the other 2 meals tasted old or like they were cooked in old oil, and they were soggy. We had waffle fries earlier in the day at The Spot, and they were perfect. The cocktail sauce was a strange consistency and had no flavor. The tartar sauce was slightly better. My son ordered the Breadless burger, and when it came out, it was not wrapped in lettuce as the menu advertised. When he asked Aaron the server about it, Aaron laughed him off, my son asked for Ranch, and he walked away. My son (15) looked at the menu and showed me where it said it comes wrapped in lettuce. I was irritated that he laughed off my son's question and just walked away. My son finishes his meal, and Aaron still hasn't returned with the Ranch. My son gone to a table that hadn't been cleared to get salt, pepper, and hot sauce because his food was so bland- all of it was bland. Aaron finally returned and I asked him again why my son's food wasn't wrapped in lettuce, and he said, We don't do that here. That's why we put it underneath. (There was not lettuce underneath, there was shredded lettuce on the side under the veggies.) I reminded him that my son had also asked for Ranch. He had a terrible attitude, stomped off and grabbed Ranch, then gave it to us and walked away. A very nice girl named Sarah tried to intervene, but we were pretty miserable by this point. She apologized and took half of the price of my son's meal off. All of these things together wouldn't be so egregious, but the server's bad attitude and gaslighting my son on top of the mid food was too much. I added stars for Sarah being so nice.

Not that great, over priced bland food, service was very poor, we waited over 30mins for refill and forever just for the bill. I guess tyou're paying for the view, which you could pay to walk on pier ($5 per person) and forget the yucky food! NOT WORTH IT!

Fishing was fun! A nice place to fish as long as it is the day with the right direction of the wind.

We had a long wait but they gave us a pass to walk the pier, which was nice. The food was definitely worth it.

No babie’s changing table inside the men’s restroom. What is this? 1950s?
Fantastic views and great food. We loved taking a walk on the pier while waiting for our table which didn’t take long at all. The ahi tuna and shrimp tostadas were delicious and the fish tacos were fresh and flavorful. Enjoyable experience all around. A great option if you’re looking for a fun spot to take in views of the water.

We had a little bigger party of 6 and asked how long it would be while putting our name on the list. They told us it would be 30-45 so naturally we decided to wait. We left it to walk the peer came back and then an hour and a half later after multiple times checking in they couldn’t seat us. There is plenty of food out there not worth this awful service or no sense of customer service. They also seated smaller parties in front of us which made the wait even longer. I’d recommend fishing for your food and cooking it yourself it would be faster then getting seated at Jimmys.

If you’re from Houston, don’t come here for the food. The most bland food I had in my life, no seasoning at all.
Atmosphere is great.

We went and had dinner there with family I liked that it was off the beach but the food was so bland and the seafood was like the fish was to game for me. The staff was ok. We had a family member get sick and they just watched didn’t do anything as we assessed the situation and we called 911. We will never go there again.

Dogs aren't allowed, despite what the website says.
Fantastic ocean views. Decent but not the best food on the island. Perfect for an evening hangout session.

We waited over an hour for a table. The dining area is small, much smaller than you would expect. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, and when asked for a recommendation he knew exactly where to point us. Our food came quickly and it was fresh and hot. All of the items we ordered were good, no regrets. The bacon wrapped shrimp appetizer was delicious, the chicken sandwich was great, and the shrimp and oyster po boy was pretty good. No complaints here at all!
