I went in to try the clam chowder. It was a cool and windy day, and I was called by a hot bowl of clam chowder. It was rich, creamy, and hearty in clams. I thought it could use more potatoes, onions, and maybe some bacon. The menu offered a salad-bar, but it was clearly not being used or prepared to be set up. We were there at dinner time.
The staff was very friendly and prompt, but in their downtime would sit at a nearby table.
The environment reminded me of a bingo hall with plain plastic table cloths, and it was pretty sterile with lot of hanging plants. There were local-made candles burning upon entering, which confused the smells of either a restraunt or a thrift shop. Candle smells are so subjective and your favorite smell may be wretched to me. So I wasn’t a fan. I would suggest that if someone wanted to sell local products, then use an ajoining room as a gift shop. Also, the Christmas garland and lights should probably be taken down, it’s April.
The view of the river is amazing and with some warm and romantic atmosphere touches, I think the potential of this hidden gem would be spectacular.
I am unable to add pictures.

I was on a long drive from Cincinnati to no where in particular. At about 8 I was starting to get hungry and Jim’s was the first place I saw. Sceptical of seafood in Kentucky I checked Google and saw over 4 stars in the reviews, so I gave it a shot. It blew me away. The southern catfish is perfect, literally perfect. Nice and moist with a thin breading. The coleslaw was also great. The rice was good, but not as good as the other items. The staff was pleasant and the view on the river was great. I asked my waitress what she’d suggest if someone were to only eat here once. However, now that I have, I think I’ll find an excuse to come back. To a restaurant a hundred miles from my house!

Great little restaurant tucked in by the river. The atmosphere was really nice, clean, & great view of the river while dining! Food was really good! Daughter had crab legs, mashed potatoes & broccoli. My son had the baby shrimp. Catfish and coconut shrimp are delish. Loved that they had okra! (Hard to find side not served in many restaurants) Food was cooked throughly, and not overcooked. Server was excellent! Prices were as expected considering it is a seafood restaurant. (Which can be a bit more expensive then other dining places.) Overall great dining experience here! Will return!

I had driven by Jim’s Seafood a few times in the past couple of days and thought it looked interesting. I’m glad I stopped.
Although it looks a little plain on the outside, it was well maintained inside with a nautical theme. The restaurant sits right next to the Kentucky River, and I had a window seat with a view of a dam!
I ordered a strawberry daiquiri and a grilled seafood platter. Best meai I’ve had so far on this trip!
Don’t drive by Jim’s; stop in!

Twas excellent. Nice view of the river, excellent service, and good food. I had fried clams with a tasty sauce, broccoli, and wild rice with hush puppies. My companion had the whitefish with fried okra and Brussel sprouts. All amazing! I’ll be back soon.

***UPDATE*** They did not disappoint!! Tried this place for a second chance and the food was great, beautiful view and prompt service. First visit may not have been great but I am glad I gave it a second chance

Great server. Unique place with a fun history. Hushpuppies. Shrimp and clams were great. Lightly breaded and flavorful. Enjoyed the sprouts and wild rice too. The oysters and crab fell short though.

Bottom line- Shockingly good seafood for being completely landlocked. I had a bunch of southern style fried food. Pretty good. Others had scallops and the like and said they were excellent.
Only funny thing was we went there at 3:30pm on Sunday and the place was completely empty but we had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. Hmmm…

We really enjoyed our dinner. My husband got the seafood gumbo and thought it was fabulous. He also got the shrimp platter and was very happy with it. I got the grilled chicken, which was just ok, but I didn’t expect much from a seafood place. The potato skins were huge…massive. I really appreciated that it didn’t smell fishy inside…especially as someone who doesn’t eat any seafood. Altogether a good meal, we will back for the food and view.

The food and service were great. We thought the gumbo was just OK, but I enjoyed everything else. I enjoyed the captains plate, and the frog legs were also pretty good (and HUGE).
