Chipotle ketchup! The food is pretty good. Limited menu, but just order something you can put the ketchup on! It's amazing!! Indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the marina.. Def going back

Next time you're in SD, try Jimmy's on Harbor Dr. Sitting on the boarwalk with Marina just ft away, great for sunsets or any time of day. Gotta try the fried chicken. Some good local drafts on tap.

If you want a low carb option, try one of their burgers without bun and a side salad!

Onion rings and devil eggs are great starters. The burger is amazing. For drinks the majito is a must have

Great service, great drinks, and GREAT food! You can't go wrong when you come here! Mitch, the manager, has most of the best service in comparison to any other restaurant!

Never had a bad meal here. Burgers are a great go to, truly one of the best in San Diego. Pulled pork and fried chicken are also phenomenal. Hard to go wrong with anything though.

Fantastic food. Blue Burger is one of the best I've had. Apple coleslaw is delicious and refreshing. Don't forget the home made chips. Heather was attentive and friendly.

Great views. Amazing food. Certainly is my favorite lunch spot. Deviled eggs for an app. And the grilled cheese w/ a side of turkey chili is my lunch usual at Jimmy's.

Good appetizers. Good drinks. Beer list is a little small for San Diego.
Scott R.March 6, 2012
The O-rings rock and the steak salad satisfies. Great place for lunch with a pint of Woodie Gold-or two.
Spencer MartinMay 18, 2010
Great burgers! Great place to enjoy a waterfront view and have lunch. Little pricey but worth it. The breakfast is not worth it, food is bad for breakfast if you ask me.

Your typical tavern. I didn’t find it interesting at all. Food was regular and nothing exceptional.

Crab cakes - BBQ Salmon - Chocolate Chip Cookie Fudge Sundae
Matthew KrugerAugust 30, 2010
Food is quality. Place is place is packed. Can certainly work on management placing more bartenders as they are working as hard as humanly possible and can provide service. Feel for the tenders.
