I will turn SIXTY tomorrow & Jimmies is still my favorite place to eat. I've been going to Jimmies since I was an infant & eating Lobster Rolls from there almost as long. I have never, ever been disappointed at Jimmies & will once again eat there for my birthday. I agree that the decor leaves something to be desired, but I've been to beautiful places where the food sucked. I've never seen it dirty & find that comment hard to believe. Awhile ago, Jimmies was going to sell there location and close down, I cried. Whenever my family or friends come back to CT to visit, the first place we all go is Jimmies. I find it hard to believe the bad reviews. ALL I CAN SAY IS JIMMIES FOREVER !!!!

The sad part about my visit is that my husband and mother-in-law were so excited for me to try Jimmies because they frequently ate there when my husband was a child. I really loved the location, directly on the beach, but the food is bland and will make your just want to give it back to the kitchen. No flavor what so ever and heavily battered. I would be fine with the batter if it tasted like something.

I have dined at Jimmies many times over the last Thirty years.The last three or four times the food has gone downhill. After the last time 05/20/08 i will never go back there again. You can get much better food at a roadside stand then at this restaurant.And at a much better price.The food was just plain bad,tasted bad,looked bad,and there was enough grease to float a barge.Would not recommend this place to anyone

the food at jimmy's in my opion has gone down hill in the past few years, from a restaurant at the top of the list to just an average seafood restaurant.

A MUST stop! We treated our wedding party here. It is set up on the water with a wonderful view! It is a bit pricey, but you get a lot for your money! There is a long wait, however, there are bars to sit in while you wait. It is truly worth the wait.

I love Jimmies. It is the only place to go for fried shrimp. Everything is fresh and there is always plenty. The only downside is the wait for a table in the summer. But it's worth it!

That's what it was like going back to Jimmie's after 20 years. If you like mediocore fried food and lots of fries, with a little dollup of coleslaw on the side, then you'll love it. I felt as if I was in a cafeteria and the view didn't even help. I don't know what the attraction is.

While traveling through West Haven from Pennsylvania to Boston today we stopped to have some lunch. The waitress was very nice and I asked to have the lobster roll without the roll (as I have Celiac disease). The answer was no I had to have it on the roll even when I explained that I could not eat anything that touched wheat. The waitress was very upset as the manager apparently berated her about the request. I was horrified as this has never happened to me before. I ended up having only a plain side salad with vinegar and oil. I lost my appetite. I would not recommend this restaurant.

My family and I had heard good things about Jimmy's. The location is terrific and we enjoyed a lovely walk along the water while waiting 45 minutes for a table. Our drink order at the bar got botched--we were given a pina colada instead of a margarita. The straw that really broke the camel's back was discovering that our lobster rolls had only a little lobster and lots of other stuff--like surimi (fake crabmeat)! When questioned, our waiter said they use crawfish and langostino. At $16, we expected lobster! Don't think we'll ever be back.
