    I haven’t been to Jimmy’s in a long time and I still thoroughly enjoyed it the challenges they’re salting their food to Xtreme! I will definitely come back, but please be aware or to minimize on the salt in your foods and then everything would be phenomenal…🙏🏽

    The Food was good and the service was great. However when it came time for the bill, the waitress just bought one check and only when asked told us they don't spilt checks but can spilt payments. Okay fine. Then we looked at the check an noticed all the additional fees. Auto 18% gratuity, state tax, alcohol tax, and then something called "Labor Of Love" tax, that is written only on the receipt as "a 3% service charge for all checks. These funds allows us to provide fair benefits to our hard working team." This was extremely off putting and random. The auto grats and this extra 3% makes a 21% gratuity that we have no choice but to pay. Then we were asked for an additional gratuity one top of that. I've eaten all over this country, the world really, and live in one of the most food destination popular cities , and have NEVER seen this anywhere. Not even 5 star restaurants. If you are going to charge this, please disclose BEFOREHAND and let the patrons decide if they want to continue service.

    Nice restaurant. Food was good quality. Seafood boils were a little different than my experience of boils. Not going to buy that again.

    Jimmy's food and service were stellar as always. Not just our server, but all of the servers were attentive without hovering. The seafood just cannot be beat. I was very surprised to se how crowded it was, as our reservation was at 4 pm on a Saturday, but we were seated immediately and sered quickly.

    Food was good, menu was good, bill was a little confusing, and the manager didn't change a drink out that my sister didn't like. Still had to pay for it even though she didn't drink it, which sucked and knocked points off for them. Favorite thing was the crab dip!
