    Shrimp tacos and side salad
    Carmen T.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Absolutely loved our time at Jimmy B's Beach Bar in Saint Pete! The atmosphere is unbeatable, with a laid-back vibe that perfectly complements the beachfront location. Live entertainment keeps the energy up, making every visit a fun experience. The food is delicious, with a great variety to choose from. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty meal or just some tasty snacks to go with your drinks, Jimmy B's has you covered. Our server was super nice and helpful! Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a fantastic time by the beach! *It did take us a 'minute' to find the place and parking. We had to park behind a 7-Eleven and walk across, which wasn't bad at all. Then you have to walk all the way through the hotel and go to the back in order to find it; just as a helpful hint for anyone that didn't know that ahead of time like we didn't. It appears you can also walk right off the beach up there, but we were coming from somewhere else.*

    Grilled Chicken Teriyaki Skewers

    The food was good but was a long wait. Jimmy B's is conveniently located right off the beach and has a deck that not only has live music, has a beautiful view of the beach where you can watch the sunset. Pricing seems to be consistent with other beach restaurants - overpriced for what it is but you're paying for the convenience and views. Service was slow, took almost an hour between sitting down and getting our food. The server was very nice and helpful when he did make it over to our group though. The grilled chicken teriyaki skewers were tender and flavored nicely. My favorite part was the cabbage salad, it was refreshing and perfectly crunchy.

    Sooo Jimmy B's was a great end to our beach day. They had live music playing and the sunset view off the beach was beautiful. The waitress was very friendly and gave good suggestions off the menu. We were so full and happy by the time we left. If you are looking for a spot off the water to hang out with friends or take a date, this is a good option. What was ordered: Grilled Chicken Teriyaki Skewers / Smoked BBQ Pulled Pork, Caribbean Slaw Grilled Chicken Teriyaki Skewers = Nicely pared with the slaw Smoked BBQ Pulled Pork, Caribbean Slaw = yum yum given me more

    Great views! I love that they have beach access. I was strolling on the beach and followed the beach access. On the boardwalk leading to the restaurant they also had mini showers to rinse the sand off your legs! Loved that! The staff was nice and the service was pretty quick. I didn't get any food but from looking at other peoples plate the food looks great!

    Typic beach bar vibes! If you're looking to sit on the deck, listen to some live music, watch the sunset, and have some drinks or just some snacky appetizers - then this is the place for you. Fancy cocktails get expensive, but pretty standard for the area. The fish dip was good, and it came with a lot of dipping options which I liked. I would pass on the pulled pork though, just because I like my pulled pork with a lot of BBQ sauce and I wasn't a huge fan of the cole slaw covering it all. Our server was very nice and quick, which we appreciated.

    Great music on the Labor Day weekend. Solo musician from 12 to 4 pm. Then a band from 4 to 8. Then a full band from 9 until 1 am. Drinks were reasonably priced. Liquor was plentiful in the drink. Bar had enough bartenders so the wait was not long even though the crowd was huge.

    Jimmy B's is okay.. for being right on the beach, you really have to pick and choose what you prefer... is it quality and service, or is it convenience and views. It depends on what you're looking for, if you're just wanting drinks, Jimmy B's is a great spot! I had the shrimp tacos and I really wasn't impressed. I'm a big fish taco gal and have had many across the places I've visited in Florida.. but here they might be ranked lower tier. Lacking in flavor, the shrimp barely had any flavor. But like I said, it's a beach bar and you have to choose what's worth it! The food was over priced in my opinion, but I could see myself going back, just maybe not for the food. Service was good! Ambiance was nice, beach in the back and all outdoors with a great amount of places to sit.

Well-versed on the menu and a very pleasant lady. It's certainly not a fancy place and it looks like it's been around for a while, but it's the kind of place where you might like to hang out at the bar. Everyone there seems to be friendly and you get that comfortable feeling. We had a variety of food items, some better than others but nothing below average. Really good salads, as you can see by the pictures, a nice job on the chicken wings, a BLT that was pretty tasty; the butternut squash soup was OK, pretty thick and not hot at all. One was returned to the kitchen to be heated up. There was a chicken dip that really didn't hit the spot, and the tortilla chips that came with it seem to be past their prime. As for the fried mushrooms. I found them pretty much ordinary. A nice surprise were the brussels sprouts with balsamic and goat cheese. Really really good. Overall, I would give the food about a 3 1/2 stars at the service five stars so what averages out around four stars. Like I said it looks like a nice place to hang around and have a couple of beverages and a little something to eat.

    Date of Visit: 01-24-2026 3pm…read more The wife and I were running our errands and forgot all about lunch. On our way home we had Dead Bobs on the left and a spot out front. This is the new location on central, perhaps the same size overall as the other and just as challenging to park. We lucked out on this day, this being our second time here. The first visit was just for drinks. This time we are hungry. We even lucked out when we walked in, few open spots at the bar. The place was busy just like any other time, but it didn't take long to get the attention of the bar tender. Drink orders taken and menus received. I have eaten at the previous location and food was good, first time here. Looked over the menu and decided on the Philly Bob, cheeseburger with shaved rib-eye and onions. The wife also had the fever, she ordered the Philly Egg Rolls and fries. For as many people that were there it really didn't take too long for our food to arrive. The Philly Bob came and it looked great. Not one for a mash up cheeseburger, these two came together well and done just right. The only thing I would have liked is regular fries, these were a coated kind like Checkers. The wife said her egg rolls were awesome as well with a cheese dipping sauce. I was so involved with my burger I never gave her egg rolls a try, and what was not finished she took home and didn't share. And by the way, one order of fries is enough for two. Since it is a new location for them it's pretty clean and well maintained. We will be back to try the rest of the menu. Peace.

Salad and wings were pretty good but neither the best there are in St. Pete. Overall service was attentive but they were very busy so it was rushed and it felt that way. They messed up the initial salad order but were quick to fix it by bringing another one. I will probably bring some out of town buddies here at some point but my lady and I will not be making it a regular stop on the rotation. Feels like more of a guy's bar that's just a fun place to hang out and drink beer.

Parking is minimum $50 a day + fees. A cocktail? For an hour? Haha no. I'm being mildly disingenuous. The bar staff (and likely restaurant staff) will give you a QR code to validate all $58 of your parking. But it made me acutely miss a time when you could just park and patronize an establishment. Just don't forget to validate your parking, cuz they sure didn't ask preemptively. They were celebrating a 3-day grand reopening when we went on Saturday. There was *one* artisan in their market space. The music was pumping loud enough to not be able to converse. Although it drew a crowd of younger folks, there was not much to behold from the "grand" reopening. Not even s cost of paint. The beach bar may not have been part of the sprucing up idk, I didn't see anything worth celebrating. I meant to look at the size of the cocktail cup that we got (small), but $13-14 for a cocktail is highway robbery for the end result. And $18 for 6 wings ($3 a wing) was a little disappointing. I expected better of a Hilton adjoined restaurant. No one part was terrible. It was just the way they matched up - loud, expensive, small portions. If you're loud maybe you're cheap and tasty. If you're expensive, maybe you're fast and delicious. This was all the worst parts of a bar that doesn't care about its patrons' economics. A bar that wants to serve tourists with mediocrity and move on to the next crop of people who will never be there again. If you're a tourist it'll probably be fine, if overpriced. If you're a local, don't bother. To be fair, we should ask if there was anything good. hm ... no. We won't be returning. 3 stars is probably generous.
