Vibes and views: amazing! Drinks, amazing!!! Food: about what you would expect from a beach bar... coconut shrimp was good, mahi sandwich very basic. Went on a Wednesday night, music was very loud but they weren't too busy. Parking was a major issue, we had to park across the street with their new pay to park system (not the issue) but then a few hours after we left the parking charged our card 3 times for the same parking (total of $40 for 2 hours) CRAZY. Not a good system there. Overall decent experience (beside parking issue) but a good time!

Entry
Dee W.

Loved the live music and drinks Were great, fast service but it was a nippy night, so not the usual crowd. I loved it even though the band kept us going

Shrimp appetizer was really good and filling, it can actually be an entree. The chicken sandwich entree was really good. The whole ambiance was really welcoming and comforting.

Enjoying
Trinh N.

I love the environment and music and staffs here: everything is great! Staffs are ever nice. Love all the music.

Shrimp tacos and side salad

I love Jimmy B's!!!! It was a chillier day but sitting in the sun here was amazing. The shrimp tacos are one of the best I've ever had. The view was great right on the beach. Parking is a little strange behind the 7/11 across the street, but it's free and you go on a little adventure, so I can't complain. Then you walk through the hotel and Jimmy B's appears tucked away right before you hit the beach as a little oasis. Feels like you found a hidden gem even though they are well known. They had live music and friendly staff. Will definitely be back on a warm day.

Best girls trip

Tristan is the most awesome server! Drinks are delicious! Love the music! Appetizers are good ATMOSPHERE IS GREAT!!!!

what a fantastic place places truly amazing to come watch the sunset as you can see in my pictures service is phenomenal. I will say I haven't had dinner, but I had a couple drinks and the bartenders are so nice and so helpful. The whole staff is very nice places immaculate in just a beautiful property.

Menu

You come here for the views and party beach vibe! This Tuesday night they had LIVE BAND KARAOKE, which was super fun! It seems they have this every other Tuesday. The crowd was mainly tourists with some locals mixed in. Fantastic people watching too as the drinks continued to flow throughout the evening. I had heard this is a popular swinger hang-out and can attest to being propositioned once this evening, but in a polite and respectful fashion that was not bothersome. In terms of food...the Bavarian pretzels sticks were a great shareable size and came with cheese sauce and whole grain mustard for dipping --- would have been better if the sticks were actually warm when served. The shrimp broil was very good, came with clarified butter and a wonderful beachside presentation in a net.

It's located in a strip mall, and for some reason I was surprised to find it as cute and yummy as I did (I know, I know, don't judge a book by its cover). Our waitress was great about helping me make sure I didn't get anything that I can't eat. I completely forgot what my seatmates order, but I ordered a burger and it was really good. It's served on sourdough toast, which is definitely one of my fave ways to get a burger!! The fries were good, too (I *really* wanted to eat more than I did, I just didn't have the room). Everyone enjoyed their dish. We were there for a late lunch, it wasn't noisy so we were able to have a good conversation (noisy places have always turned me off, I'm there with friends and want to talk for heaven's sake). If you're scrolling through reviews trying to decide where to go. STOP NOW. Look no further, this is where you need to be. I promise! :) Thank you for reading my review.

The ambiance was amazing, especially seeing families hanging out and plenty of adorable puppies enjoying the outdoor space. We started with drinks, and the #5 IPA was absolutely delicious! My wife had the Prosecco, and she loved it too. The service was exceptional--everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and made the experience even better. We were starving, so we ordered the steak nachos, and they completely exceeded our expectations. As a huge nacho girl, I can honestly say these were top-tier! They were loaded with flavor and easily some of the best nachos I've had. To top it all off, we spent the evening outside enjoying live music by the incredibly talented Ethan Smith. Great food, awesome drinks, outstanding service, and such a fun, laid-back atmosphere. We'll definitely be back! If you're in Gulfport, do yourself a favor and check them out!

Second, the food was always good and some dishes still are. Third, restaurants are tough businesses, and I know all of them have cut back. Having said that after an 18 month absence, I orderd a turkey reuben sandwich. Normally, the turkey is plainly visible, not deli-stacked but a decent amount. They gave me what looked like two flat pieces of toast on top of one another. I opend it up to find a few scraps of turkey. There was more sauerkraut than turkey in it. With the price they charge, this was insulting. I don't like sending food back, but they needed to know they were ripping off their customers. Thye di take it off the bill to their credit but they nedd to clean up their act as their prices hav gone sky high. At least give people what they pay for.

It was dark when we got here, but from our table it looked like we would have had a nice view of the water. The whole place is kind of open with an upstairs and downstairs porch. The food we ordered was fantastic. Loved the beef on weck and my kid liked the beef stew in a bread bowl. I loved the cucumber salad as an alternative to fries for my sandwich. If I was in the area, I'd definitely check this place out again.

It is what you would expect if you have been to one in the UK. I went for my birthday and it was like being out for a night in Bristol. You step inside and sit down to enjoy. The beers are traditional. Maybe of the draf is from the UK, Ireland, Denmark and more. It is all what you would find not only in the British Isles but from local markets in Scandinavia, Belgium, Germany, and more. It is a good way to have a pint. As for the meal itself, this is not fancy dining. Again, it is local. There is steak and kidney pie, fisherman's pie, cottacge pie, burgers, salads, and more. Of course, there is even fish and chips. And this is made the way they make it back in the UK. It is fresh fish (haddock) and coated just right. It is rich and tasty and willed with enjoyment. As for the fries, you can make a meal out of these alone even if it was the only thing to have with a beer. It was ideal. Again, freshly made and filled with flavor. People are talking. The team is ideal. The service great. And, as for the price, you can not beat that. It was what to expect. The place is on the main road, but it is hidden right in front of many of us, especially the seasonal tourists. Head over to the Horse and Jockey, and step back into a good English Pub right here in Florida.

Food was very good. Service by Sydney, not so much. Very inattentive and extremely slow.read more
