"The flagship Point Loma Marina location of Jimmy’s Famous American Tavern is introducing an entirely new menu as the restaurant nears its tenth anniversary. In fact, all branches of the eatery are getting a revamp thanks to culinary director Nathan Coulon (True Food Kitchen, Nolita Hall). New dishes include an albacore tuna melt on parmesan crusted sourdough, charred Brussels sprouts with pecanwood smoked bacon, toasted almonds, and maple syrup, and barbecued St. Louis-style ribs served with sides that include jalapeno-cheddar scalloped potatoes." - Keri Bridgwater

Well I just found the Best Hamburger in San Diego and its right here at Jimmy's Famous American Tavern. Our friends took us here and we both order the " Jimmy Burger" . This has Jalapeno Jam, Bacon and Pimento Cheese. Its absolutely delicious and cant wait to go back. The other amazing entrée was the French dip sandwich. Very good meet and dipping sauce. Will be back soon!

Service was spectacular. Both waiters that attended us were amazing. The younger waiter was helpful in giving us his food recommendations!! Food is really delicious, especially the fish & chips not even mentioning the clam chowder they have different twist with Chipotle sauce, but still, over all quite delicious, only negative is the tuna sandwich i though it was cold tuna but i never had tuna baked so i really didnt like that i wish there was an option for cold tuna other then that I highly recommend this establishment

This was our first time visiting San Diego, and we had no idea where to eat first. Let's just say that by eating here on day one, we really set the bar high! The food... the service... and the atmosphere was all amazing! I had the fish and chips, and my husband had the French dip. We both loved our meals! We also ordered the calamari and really enjoyed them too! The atmosphere was rustic, fun, and busy! Not to mention, you are right on the water!! Lastly, the service was absolutely amazing! Top notch!! I highly recommend this place!!! 👌 Total bill: $78 for 2 meals, 1 appetizer, and 1 drink. Note: You have to pay for parking. It's a dollar an hour.

Service was excellent, our server was very attentive and helpful when ordering. I ordered a spicy hamburger, it was not spicy but it was delicious. I was worried that with all the different spicy components it had, it would taste weird but it did not. The Nashville Fried chicken sandwich was delicious (maybe just a bit more sauce), the clam chowder was very delicious as well as the house made potato chips.

My husband and I received wonderful and fast service. We let the staff know we were in a rush because we had a boat reservation within the hour, and they were very accommodating. I ate the BEST scalloped potatoes I’ve ever had, and the chili was so delicious. Our waiter Zac recommended the potatoes and I was blown away by the flavor. My husband also very much enjoyed his chicken prosciutto sandwich. Though we weren’t there for long, the view of the marina was beautiful and the bathrooms were clean. I highly recommend this restaurant for any travelers!

Excellent service and food was great. Had the Jimmy burger and the "Nashville hot". The fried chicken in the Nashville hot was good but not much "Nashville" in it as far as spice and traditional flavors your expect.

Service was excellent. My husband and I dined in the heated porch area where we could view the harbor / marina. We started with onion rings as an appetizer. They were perfect. The batter was seasoned well, thickly coating the onion rings, yet still crispy. The onion inside was thick and cooked perfectly. You can tell these are made fresh. The onion isn't soggy like with frozen onion rings. The French dip was one of the best I have had. I asked the waitress and was told that they cook and slice their own prime rib for the sandwich. The au jus was very flavorful. They allowed me to substitute a mixed green salad for the fries. My husband ordered a burger and was impressed. If I'm remembering correctly, it was a wygu burger. Overall, we recommend this establishment if you are in or around the Shelter Harbor area. Excellent service, great food and nice views of the water and boats.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Jimmy’s Famous American Tavern at 4990 North Harbor Drive, and let me tell you—this place is a solid chef’s kiss. As a Local San Diegan (and someone who helps families buy homes in this gorgeous city), I’m proud to share my experiences here with those who are moving to San Diego from out of town—or just a zip code away. Now, let’s talk about the food. It was outrageously good. Every dish we had was like a warm hug from a culinary god. And the service? Spot on. The team wasn’t just polite—they were like a highly coordinated, welcoming family. And speaking of family vibes, here’s the kicker: the off-menu chocolate shake. The manager himself whipped it up for me. Not only was it life-alteringly delicious, but it was also a sweet little testament to the teamwork and camaraderie that oozes from every corner of this place. You want atmosphere? This place has it. You want a place that makes you feel like part of the family while you scarf down incredible food? Jimmy’s Famous American Tavern is your jam. As someone who helps families plant roots here in San Diego, I’d recommend this spot to new residents in a heartbeat. So, whether you’re buying a home here or just visiting, do yourself a favor and stop by Jimmy’s. You’ll leave full, happy, and wondering if you should move into the neighborhood just to be closer. Trust me—this is what San Diego dining dreams are made of. <3

Fun and beautiful location. Good food. But the service put it as a definite spot to keep on our list. Great service from our server Ryan, and her whole supporting cast. Promptly greeted and welcomed a short time after seating, knowledgeable on menu questions, and consistently and politely checked on throughout our meal. I was most impressed that a casual bar & grill has put systems in place to have runners know where to deliver each dish ordered for the entire party. Kudos. The little stuff is how you do the big stuff. We'll be back Jimmy's. Cheers

Make reservations! Even if it's not supposed to be busy, it's better to let them know you will be dining in! Service was on the slow side when we were there, but the drinks and food were good. But also - you can't go wrong eating bayside in beautiful San Diego!! Outdoor and Indoor (Open air too) seating. Also, dog friendly on the patio!

I ordered the French dip minus the onions. When the person brought it to the table, they realized it had onions on it. I was happy to pick them off, but they insisted it would only take three minutes to remake the sandwich. It took more like 20. Decent food, but the service, while friendly is extremely slow. That's SLOW. Also don't expect to have your drink refilled. That aside, it is a beautiful location to sit and enjoy the patio and its bayside view.

Sheila C.

Yelp
The view is amazing, the service was pretty good and the food was ok. We ordered calamari, which was way over cooked, a french dip that barely had the crunchy onions on it and the horseradish was way toned down, pretty much tasted like cream. The coconut margarita barely tasted like coconut. Concepts sounds good, but execution missed.

Beautiful views of the ocean and delicious food! The portions were plentiful so my husband and I split a French dip. It was soooo good!! My kids had chicken fingers and fish and chips. You know the meal is delicious when they eat it all and don't complain! The only recommendation I have is don't get the jalapeño cheddar scalloped potatoes. They were bland and not very good. Service was great and prices were to be expected. I would definitely return! It hit the spot!!

It's been Almost a year since my last review. I still LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about Jimmy's! If you enjoy taking your pup to brunch with you- YOU can take them here and sit on the patio. Beautiful view of the water. The servers/Bartenders/Food Runners and managers are all awesome! Everyone is always very friendly and helpful. The FOOD! YUM- I mean come on- They have THE BEST Brussel Sprouts (I often try brussel sprouts at other joints and NONE have stacked up to Jimmy's!!!) If you find better PLEASE let me know where!!! Their hangover burger has has thick cut bacon, an egg on top and served with a yummy biscuit. No one from our group has had a complaint yet! We've Love hitting Jimmy's up for Sunday Funday! Our most recent visit I had a yummy fresh strawberry Martini infused with fresh strawberries.

Enjoy delicious eats with a great view at Jimmy's Famous in Point Loma. Jimmy's Famous is serving us American comfort fare from burgers and sandwiches to ribs and fish and chips along with some fantastic cocktails and craft beers. their beer battered onion rings are a fan favorite and a MUST order! ‼ They also have some new menu items: sesame crusted albacore tuna - a good sharable item chicken & prosciutto sandwich - grilled chicken sandwich and a big portion heavy on the arugula half roasted chicken with seasonal vegetables - this is a great hearty dish skrewball whiskey cake - ask for an extra shot of skrewball to make it extra boozy! Mocktails: strawberry dreams pineapple under the sea - creamy but refreshing they have their own parking lot but you need to pay for parking we paid $1 per hour

We've been to Jimmy's so many times over the last few years. It's our 'go-to' for many reasons - great service and food and cocktails and beer selection, full bar with lots of seating, big open-ish and heated and covered patio area, easy parking, and a great location right on the harbor. Do yourself a favor and go there tonight.

This is a great location to sit on the patio. I had the Santa Fe Ceasars salad with seated tuna. It was a great salad. The service was also great.

We stumbled upon this place and were super happy we did. Andrea our server was super nice and had good suggestions since it was our first time here. The spicy burger was great with the Parmesan truffle fires, also the French dip was tasty as well. I really liked their house made chipotle ketchup, it was really good with nice spice to it. I had the smoke show cocktail and that had great flavor profile to it with a Tajin rim. The restaurant was nice and clean and also very kid friendly. We will be back when in town again. Highly recommended this spot to everyone.

Came here for lunch by the water and I couldn't be more happier. We had a nice breeze, rays of sun on the patio seating. Just perfect San Diego weather. They were not busy and we had lots of seating options. Our server checked on us a lot and was on top of everything. I did a mojito and it was flat. I usually like it more bubbly but it was still good. I will try their aperol spritz next time. Calamari and Brussel sprouts is a 10/10. Huge portions! The calamari coating was thin and flaky. There Brussel sprouts are possibly the best I've had. The bacon pieces and the sauce are a great pair. I got the fish and chips and my husband got the cowboy burger. All very good.

Mason J.

Yelp
Jenna welcomed us and set the night vibe. She gave me and my out of town guests the most perfect seats with the most amazing San Diego View. From there Alex guided us through the menu and made some amazing suggestions which we all loved. The Brussel Sprouts were our table's favorite. The French Dip was served with delicious au jus. The ribs were scrumptious! We loved the food so much that we did not stop to take pictures. Don't miss out on this amazing place and the phenomenal people that are the heart of it.

Was at the Alzheimer's walk down the road and tried this place after for some lunch! Totally cool vibe, wood everything, overlooking the bay, open air and twinkle lights. Loved the vibes! Had two kids with us and they had great kids options. The service was great and prompt! Waitress was on point and kind/friendly. Brussel sprouts were AWESOME! As well as the truffle fries. Will totally be back just for the vibes alone. Also, great price point. Thanks Jimmys!

Had a great dinner with excellent service and fish n chips that were cooked exactly how I'd expect from this type of establishment. Calamari and brussel sprouts were perfectly cooked. Unfortunately it was a dark rainy night so I wasn't able to walk around after and enjoy the city lights. Great location at the dock where you can hop on and off your boat quickly for a meal. Table was ready and waiting at reserved time, service topped off drinks and got all changes to our orders correctly, food was prompt and served at the same time (some places make the error of leaving people out in a group and everyone else's food getting cold as they wait for remaining people to be served). Would definitely return, probably earlier on a sunny day. Sorry, forgot to take food pictures until after finishing, LOL.

JFAT is always good. The San Diego location is no different. This restaurant offers nice views of the marina. It feels refreshing to sit in the outside covered patio and feel nice ocean breeze. We stopped here for breakfast. They offer small brunch menu, however, you can order from full menu as well. The breakfast/brunch food was good. The avocado toast with prosciutto needed more love. The toast was a bit bland. Extra seasoning and acidity would elevate it and made it more enjoyable. The sourdough toast was thinly sliced and didn't have enough avocado. Breakfast burrito on the other hand was really good. Perfect amount of fluffy eggs and veggies. Bits of bacon gave it texture and subtle saltiness. Service was super friendly and helpful. Five stars!

Jimmy's is the complete package! Views, food, and ambiance! The location is top notch, right along the harbor. The food and service was excellent. The portions are very generous. Bar food elevated! Their house made chipotle ketchup is awesome! Try it with their onion rings! On this visit we had the fried chicken and famous cheeseburger.

This is a fantastic place to run into for a quick lunch when quality still matters. My experience was great with super competent help, lots of smiles, and great food! I put a picture my tuna melt on here and it was every bit as good as it looked but people all around me got burgers and complimented their servers on how much they enjoyed them.

Danielle and her staff are exceptional. I hastily planned a conference get together. Our group was disorganized and dynamic (that's a nice way of putting it). I had an RSVP of 25 and at least double arrived. Without blinking, Danielle smiled, found tables, and seated our group. The servers were friendly and accurate. Food was quickly prepared, meals were hot, and the food was fantastic. Most at our table enjoyed the Tavern bowl. It was flavorful and hearty. One had the short ribs. They melted and the rich gravy was delicious on the mashed potatoes. I am looking forward to returning with a small group, so that I can actually enjoy my old fashioned while overlooking the bay. Thank you for making the evening so fun. No one else could tell that we were sweating bullets.

I'm not a helper but waitress Ryan and team provoked a positive yelp review. From an empathic manager that helped w a solid booth to watch my beloved padres in a special game and the split meal is actually a legit split. Pickles chips and all. Love the positive energy and as a first timer here. This SD resident will make this a must for all my visiting guests.

This is several weeks late but we had an amazing experience at Jimmy's, so we went back a 2nd night to see Lydia the bartender. She was so friendly and attentive. We're from Las Vegas and work in the industry. The food and ambience was relaxed and nice. We'll be back next time we're in San Diego!

Starting with the parking it offers self parking but you will need to pay but it's reasonable. The seating choices are great (we sat with a water view) but there are plenty of seats for large groups as well. The service was outstanding! They are very attentive and get to know their customers. We asked for suggestions and our waitress offered plenty of great meals that she recommended and the reasons why. We both got the beef tip sandwich and we're amazed that it's flavor, taste and quantity this meal could really be shared with two people. We got the appetizers with the two different dips, which was awesome. The waitress even brought out a couple sauces that she liked herself for us to try. We really enjoyed this place. I can't wait to come back to try the other items.

Great place to meet for lunch or brunch in Point Loma. Nice view of the harbor and park. The food is excellent and the staff is friendly and attentive. They have a great happy hour and plenty of room for larger parties. Highly recommended if you are looking for fun, tasty American Cuisine.

I was celebrating a friend's Birthday and although he lives in Carlsbad, he wanted to drive to Pt Loma to this specific restaurant to celebrate. When I asked why so far, he replied he loved their grilled caesar Salmon Salad. We arrived and were met by Ernesto, who cheerfully greeted us and gave us a wonderful outdoor table overlooking the harbor! Our waiter was Garrett who couldn't have been nicer or more efficient. My friend ordered the Salmon Caesar, his wife ordered a French Dip Sandwich with fries perfectly cooked and I ordered a bowl of chili. We were all very happy with our lunches, the atmosphere and people who made our day perfect! Note, the parking lot is adjacent and requires payment by the hour. It was a little confusing so don't overlook that!

Bad food and service. My second time trying this place and both times have been awful. Burger was ordered medium and it was burnt both nights. Ribs were super dry. I'm not sure how this place has such high ratings.

Came here on a Saturday at opening when it was raining outside with a party of 5. Staff was wonderful and very attentive to us. When we had asked about recommendations, the waitress was wonderful and gave us some great suggestions when it came to food. All of the food was great and I really enjoyed my burger and chili. The manager came over to check in and was so nice to give me an iced tea to go. We all enjoyed the meal and would go back again!

They were able to accommodate a party or 12 last minute for my dad's birthday!! The food was amazing and the it was a great ambiance. Definitely did not disappoint, kudos to all the staff!!

This place was ok. Got the dueling dips to start off. The chips were good. Freshly fried. Crispy. Salty. The guacamole could have used more salt and lime. The pimento cheese was ok. Wasn't smooth. Had a lot of shredded cheese in it. The Nashville hot was wayyyy too big. It was two chicken breasts and it was just too much. I don't remember on the menu where it said two, I could be wrong because sometimes reading isn't my strong point. The chicken was a nice spice. I didn't like the bread and butter pickles on the sandwich. I got the garlic parm fries. Wish there was more garlic. They also weren't crispy enough. My friend got the tavern bowl. She absolutely loved it.

Came in just after 8 on a Tuesday night. Saw they closed at 9, but gentleman who greeted us - I'm assuming a manager - assured us not to worry, there was plenty of time. Staff was efficient, and our drink orders were taken as menus were sat down in front of us. I went with a classic Old Fashioned and Hubby chose a Rum Punch. Both drinks were VERY good. The thing with me and an Old Fashioned is I want to drink a beer with it. I don't know why this is. I don't particularly care for beer, but I've noticed this pattern. lol I start looking at the beers of tap and see a few with citrus notes I think might compliment the Old Fashioned. As the (assumed) manager passes, I ask him about the 3 drafts and he offers a tasting of each. Very nice and appreciated. I land on Garage Brewing Mango Hefeweizen. As suggested, it had a mango note, with a hint of orange linger. It was very light and complimented the Old Fashioned nicely. Hubs opted for a second Rum Punch. For food, we decided to split a classic cheeseburger and upgrade to garlic/parm fries. When our food was delivered, by same assumed manager (I really should have asked his name) we commented on how nice it was that our split burger was served split on 2 plates, with fries and pickles on each plate. His answer, 'Of course! You're here to relax and eat, not work at splitting a plate!' Awesome response! Burger was very good, Waygu beef, cooked medium perfection. The fries themselves were very good and the real parm on top was nice. BUUUUUT... I gotta be honest, neither of us was vibing on the garlic sauce. Maybe it was the texture, or that it was colder than the fries, which was off putting, When I think or garlic fries, I think of fries tossed in chopped garlic/olive oil and finished with Parmesan and maybe parsley for color/finish. These were hot fries finished with a squeeze of the garlic sauce over them and Parmesan sprinkled on top. We both agreed we should've stuck with the plain fries, which were very yummy. The decor is very nice. Jimmy's sits harbor side, so the nautical wood and finishes add to the warm, welcoming atmosphere. If visiting the area again, we would return. Cheers! CC

The Jimmy hamburger is hands down best I've had in years, if you down here for #sdcc try this place out before you head back home. The sauce they put on it so taste. Little pricey but worth it.

Visiting from TX for a conference and stopped by this place 2x in 4 days for lunch. The first day I had the special, which is pictured- Boo's Bleu Burger. There is so much flavor packed into this burger. The burger alone filled me up, which is sad b/c the garlic fries were really good. The fries were salted to perfection with a garlic aioli( I think) or sautéed garlic and melted shredded cheese. Soooo good. The next day I went back for the clam chowder with homemade chips and a mint- cucumber lemonade mocktail. My co-worker fell in love with her dishes as well; the salmon Baja Caesar salad and their chili. Definitely stop by and give this spot a try, not only for the food but also the beautiful views! The bartender provided excellent service as well; I forgot to get his name- but he was the only one behind the bar both days.

First time here and it's delicious. I haven't tried the burgers yet but the tavern bowl with steak is amazing. The buttered pasta for the kids is great, too! The portions are a little small, so save room for dessert

I've been there twice now, the first for a big celebration 10+ people and the second for a family (4) dinner. Both experiences absolutely amazing, both times we had excellent service and fantastic recommendations. We will be going back there again Oh excellent wine and cocktails!

First of all, the location is perfect. Then the food was really great. Finally, our server, Kent, was the best we have had in a long time.

Great view. Nice new outdoor tables and couches, umbrellas when needed. Im a creature of habit and tend to get the same entree. First time ordering the deviled eggs and they were really tasty. The wine country salad w added shrimp is my go to. With a glass of Chardonnay, of course. Cheers.!

This was a 3-3.5 experience. Nice location with beautiful views if sitting on the patio. Food was good with the exception of tavern bowl (noted below) and getting refills on drinks and water was a bit slow. Ordered salads, two dip chip app, a variety of drinks, Nashville hot chicken and tavern bowl. Issue w/ tavern bowl: Description stated brown rice- but it doesn't say rice is going to be drenched in oil. Waitress confirmed that its grape seed oil (no thanks- highly inflammatory) and then checked with the kitchen to see if they can make it without. We did get another bowl without oily rice and sundried tomatoes drenched in oil, but by that time, the other people at the table finished eating. Timing was a bit off on the redo. Nashville sandwich was good but was dripping grease (more so than you expect- yes even with a fried chicken sandwich) and it could have been spicier. Table service could have been more attentive but it's possible that waitress had a lot of tables.

Great restaurant, went in for Happy Hour. We literally just beat the crowd, got a great seat outside with the kids. We had never been here and when I saw the place completely packed I knew we must of picked a good spot. Ribs , burgers and beers all good! Our waiter Luis was on point, gave us great service. Highly recommend!

05-27-23 - We came here for my dad's birthday and we had a party of 16. The staff was very nice and very accommodating with our party especially since 6 people got there 40 minutes late. Our host was great and was attentive. I forgot her name but will add it here when I get an opportunity. We ordered the following: Dueling Dips - the pimiento dip was not good, and ended up going to waste but chips and guacamole was good. Fish and Chips - Fish was good serving and was good. Fries were cooked well. Charred Brussel Sprouts - My favorite appetizer here. It was yummy. Beer Battered Onion Rings - HUGE onions and well cooked. The Bubba - was okay, the biscuit was dry so the combination with the fried chicken made the dish dry, dry dry. Famous Cheeseburger - just okay, my dad said it wasn't anything special and was not seasoned well. Tuna Melt - my mom enjoyed this one. Good ratio of tuna and bread. Jimmy Burger - my sister did not like this. There was an overwhelming amount of the pimiento sauce was not appetizing. We had more food ordered but these are the ones I received feedback on. They also were nice to give ice cream for my dad's birthday too which my nieces enjoyed with my dad. The view here is nice, you see the water and the boats. They also have a patio area and allow dogs in that section. So were able to see a few cute dogs. You have to pay for parking here but not terrible.

You can never go wrong with the fried chicken dinner plate. The marina environment is great. Open and spacious. Food is typical restaurant food. Not the exact location for any seafood specific items but they do bread their fish n chips and the local made potato chips are good. Nice casual place for after work drinks or Friday casual social gatherings.

We came to Point Loma for a last minute work trip, and was able to get reservations for Father's Day. My husband had been here before and really liked it then. We were sat right away, staff was nice, place was clean, and food was great. The braised short rib was by far our favorite! We will definitely be back to order more of the seasonal cocktails and old fashioned drinks as well.

Great food, by the water, reasonable prices, nice views. Escape the downtown Point Loma traffic and head to Jimmys, where the onion rings, burgers and sandwiches are served fresh, hot and with a smile! Super casual hangout; great for after work gatherings or weekend chilling. Highly recommend!
