I was on a work trip and chose this restaurant because it was right on the beach. I went on Wednesday night around 7pm. The staff were extremely friendly and immediately greeted me when I walked in. There was no wait time. I got to sit in a booth right next to the window! Perfect view of the beach! I spent $65 because I wanted to try everything lol. I started with the Sampler for 2 and it was HUGE. It came with potato skins, mozzarella sticks which were absolutely delicious (look at that cheese pull), and wings which were crispy and sauced to perfection. I then got the fish and fried shrimp platter once again the portions were HUGE this came with a roll, a salad, 2 pieces of fish, I’m thinking 10-12 shrimp (I didn’t count), fries and 2 slices of bread. The only reason I’m giving food 4 stars is because I was hoping the seafood would be more seasoned. The tartar sauce and cocktail sauce was really good though. I finished off with the Brownie Sundae once again delicious! At the end I walked away with two take home boxes and a take home salad bowl, I got about 2 1/2 additional meals out of this. Very nice! My waiter ( I believe his name was Scott) was very kind and patient with me!

I am an airline crew member and while on a layover in Hartford (Springfield Mass is our crew hotel location) I have rented a car twice to drive to West Haven to see the home I grew up in, right up the street off Kelsey Ave.
My memories of Jimmies were back in the 1960’s. After two trips to Jimmie’s while on my layovers, I can very highly recommend you eat here. I had clam strips the first time and the second visit clam strips again along with some fried shrimp and fries. First class all the way. The clam strips bought back so many memories.
My food was hot and full of flavor, just like I remembered. The service was letter perfect as were both my meals. I had such a great time, bought two beer glasses to take home, chatted with the staff about how, as child, my parents would always take me for a hot dog way back in 1961.
There is nothing to complain about. Heard the grandkids from the original owner are running the restaurant. I am floored with the negative reviews. My two visits were terrific, and I crave the next visit when I can bring my wife to experience Jimmie’s

Elvira was wonderful as always. I’ve been coming here my entire life and I’m 36. Even after moving to Florida, every time I come back home this is the first stop as soon as the plane lands. I always get to go orders to freeze and take back 🙂

Grew up going to Jimmies. Haven’t been here in years. After reading the reviews. I decided to make a stop to see if it really is as bad as they say. After much research and personal experience, I am convinced many of the bad reviews are hate from locals and possibly associated with a brewery that was looking to move in next door. I saw reviews of bad food, bad service and the inside falling apart. All of which I found to be untrue. Google should consider removing those reviews and going down and enjoying a meal to confirm this. I have attached photos as proof that Jimmies is clean. The service was very good and the food was enjoyable. Also posted a receipt to show the prices are reasonable as well. Unlike the reviews portray. And to those who are trying to tear this place down with negative false reviews.. kick rocks!

Been Going here for Years! Best Seafood In The State. Side order of shrimp and lobster roll can’t go wrong. Don’t Forget The Root Bear Float! Yum

My family and I had our first (and most certainly) our last trip to Jimmies of Savin Rock. To say I’m disappointed in the manager’s behavior would be an understatement.
We arrived and were excited about dining here. While trying to enjoy the warm bread rolls, we noticed one of the staff sweeping under the tables right next to us. I asked him if there’s no vacuum, as the dust from the old carpet was irritating my allergies. He said no, and I asked to speak to the manager.
A woman came out (picture attached), stating that she’s the GM and runs the show. She said that they’ve been sweeping the carpets for 98 years, they know what they are doing, and we shouldn’t tell them how to do their job.
Honestly, this wasn’t the response I expected. She was VERY disrespectful and demanded that the staff NOT tell us her name. As we were very dissatisfied with her behavior.
BTW, our server, Anna, was very nice!
The owners need to provide their rude GM with some managerial and customer service training.
We will NOT be visiting this restaurant again and would not recommend this restaurant.

The closure of this establishment marks the end of an era. I have been a patron of Jimmy’s since my childhood in the 1960s. The family who owned and operated it was truly wonderful, and their impending closure is deeply regrettable. The redevelopment efforts in the area during the 1970s proved to be catastrophic. I am hopeful that the new mayor will bring about positive changes.

I mean it was not bad but i wasn’t the best ever type of meal.
It looks very outdated and needs some remodeling.
The place have so much potential and id love to return in the future and be pleasantly surprised!
Other than for the view I don’t think I’ll be visiting again soon. Service was great our waitresses were amazing and helpful.

Lunch time on the ocean. Good reviews led me here and normally I would order a combo to try several items but I just had a hankering for lobster so I settled on the lobster roll. The roll itself was not oversized but it had nothing but lobster and butter. No fillers at all. Awesome. The lobster was jucy and tender, perfectly cooked and the clarified butter was as good as it gets. The French fries were good and crunchy, the starting salad was fresh and the dinner roll was soft and tasty. Overall recommended .

This restaurant offers a stellar view of West Haven’s Long Island Sound but the food is simply adequate. Although I have had better else where, make the right choice and order their fried oysters or scallops with extra Tartar sauce and lemon- no regrets, yum! Their other dishes (like pasta) lack harmony and don’t blend well, just so so. Salads are good and they do nice birthday celebrations 🙂 Very spacious and good service in general.
