Ordered the fish n chips today- Wow not sure who they got cooking but it was like it was flash fried- Unless I actually eat in- will not order fish from there anymore - I was quite surprised considering this had never happened- Anyway- new cook or not- you gotta know how to cook food right - read more

This restaurant is the best, the inside is so beautifully decorated and there's a fish tank. The food is absolutely exceptional and there's lots of variety. The staff are very nice and will brighten your day. Overall my family loved the trip to the Jungle and will go again. read more

I'll be completely real with you all, the number one (and perhaps only) reason to have come to Jungle Jim's in the past was for the all you can eat wing night Wednesday. It has once again been removed, but you can still get "deals" on Wednesday. The wings aren't that great to be honest, but the AYCE made it decent. Buuuut, now it's just not worth it. The regular menu items are pretty mediocre. Anyways, good bye wing night again, wouldn't recommend coming here - see my first review for more details. read more

It's Friday evening about 815 and Jennifer in Bayers Lake, Halifax, Nova Scotia. I just finished having dinner with the most beautiful girl in the world (my favorite girl) and her daughter. Her daughter chose this location and honestly, upon first suggestion I was not sure if I'd like it. Loved the fish and chips. Also enjoyed watching the tropical fish in the built in aquarium. read more

Came here during Burger Week to get the Jalapeno burger. Listed on the Burrger Week passport as $6. Went with a group only to be greeted by a line out the door. I love seeing that - it tells me that whatever they're doing is worth waiting for and people are coming by the droves. Usually. Sat down, all of us ordered the burger week special and waited. Burger was okay they ran out of deep fried jalapenos and just used pickled ones. Either way, my biggest frustration was when the bill came and the charge was $11 instead of $6. When I mentioned this to the server she said that The Coast made an error in the printing and that they had a notice in front of the restaurant. I didn't see the notice and by her tone, I could tell that she was saying this on a regular basis. If that was the case, then why wouldn't she have said that when we ordered, instead of assuming that everyone read the notice? read more

Jungle Jims - Burger Week Burger: Texas Jalapeno - American Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

Unlimited wing nights is over. Really disappointed. If you can eat more than 5-6 baskets on wing night, this is the place to come. Came here plenty of times before, but tonight was the best wing night yet! The wings and all other orders were fresh. The chicken was not over cooked, and the thai-chicken bites were fresh( last time they were extremely dry/ over cooked). Ended with a salad. The place was packed, plenty of people didn't want to wait. -1* for the salt and vinegar wings; killed my taste buds(a sea of salt could be seen at the bottom of the basket). The tacos were really bad. -1* the service was a little late, and not a consistent(there were plenty of waiters/waitresses just doing nothing). Also the wifi doesn't work, even after we asked for the password. read more

Today I went to jungle Jim's to have lunch with my father. When we entered the music was a little bit to loud (but it is somewhat a bar) there was a big selection on the menu but I stuck to the lunch menu. I got the quesadilla which comes with a side salad. The good * the quesadilla tasted good lots of flavour * the Caesar salad was amazing great taste and I had a lemon with it which made the taste better The bad * to many peppers in the quesadilla and to less of chicken * small portion size. Other than that a great place to have a quick lunch. Hope you all enjoy !! read more

Jungle Jims - Quesadillas and a caesar salad - American Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

Jungle Jims has been a place we wanted to try for some time. It lived up to our expectations. Fun atmosphere, casual attire and great staff. The safari look inside works well for this place and the menu reflects it as well. We liked the Crocodile Skins. It is a great place to take kids, you can relax eating here, no one will be upset if you make some noise. read more

Jungle Jims - American Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

Jungle Jims is a fun and great place to go for a birthday or other group event. The restaurant boasts a safari theme with bright colours and crazy jungle decorations throughout. It's a great place for kids and adults, with free children's toys and children's menu items. Jungle Jims offers a terrific menu with items like Crocodile Skins, Amazon Salad, St Louis Rhino Ribs, and the Kitchen Sink (a bit of all their favorites). They also have a Slim Jim menu with a selection of lighter items, and are famous for their Jumbo Hurricanes, a 46 oz rum cocktail drink, priced at $12. While the prices may be a little steeper than average, for the fun you have, it's worth it. read more

What a fun place to eat! The atmosphere is great!! Obviously the theme of the restaurant is a 'jungle' (hence the name). I loved the big palm trees that surface the dinning room tables. We didn't have any kids but the restaurant was packed with kids!! In fact, it was incredibly noisy and a little too busy for my liking. I sort of felt as if I was in a jungle!! The prices are reasonable and the food was your average Canadian favourites. I would have rathered a different meal. I had the nachos and I found them to be overcooked and bland tasting. read more

Jungle Jims - the interior of a tropical restaurant - American Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

An awesome place to eat when you are under 12. Sheer terror when you are over the age of 13. The worst meal that I've ever had in Halifax was served here. I ordered a spicy Thai chicken wrap. What I got was sliced up, lukewarm chicken fingers, no sauce, in a cold wrap with a bit of lettuce and a smear of Miracle Whip. Yum. The service was fine, but I kept thinking the server was trying to warn us when we'd ask about certain items. Her eyes would go all crazy and we'd know to stay away. Good place for people with kids (the crazy decor is something I loved when I was younger), but not if you want something palatable to eat. The food was so bad I'm actually surprised that it has stayed open this long. read more

To me, I'm not sure why people go here. I remember i use to go here when i was younger with my parents, but recently I dropped in for a late night dinner and wow.. Yes i know it's called 'Jungle Jims' so the decor needs to be jungly, but it feels so old, having the same decor since the late 90's... Not to mention the food is still the same, not much flavor in anything, everything's deep fried and you just feel like crap when you leave. Until things are updated i wont be returning. read more

We really only ever go for Wing Night (Wednesday) so I can't comment on much else since I've probably only ever been there twice any other night. Wing Night is awesome! Not a fan of wings? That's ok! You can also get fries, taquitos, and more for the price of wing night and you're allowed to mix and match. Even when it gets busy the food arrives fast and hot! Usually, the servers will ask what your next dish will be as they're serving you what you previously ordered to make this quick service possible. The servers are also really nice. You have to order a drink in order to get the special but honestly, you will want to anyway! Their drink selection is the best I've ever had! Try the Chocolate Monkey even though it sounds odd. It's frikken amazing! Actually, just close your eyes and point to something off the drink menu. They're all really tasty. So why 4 stars when I love this place? Because I never get a craving to go unless it's Wing Night. read more

Had not been here in years and then I remembered why. Thought it would be fun for the kids but it was deep fried everything and not really fun for anyone. It's certainly not the place I remember it as when I was younger but most things are not. read more

This place is a dive. I can't believe it was busy. The bad: Ceaser was made with tomato juice instead of Clamato juice, we weren't told, they just tried to pass it off as a proper cocktail. Steak was way over done & thin and pain ugly! Pepsi tasted like soda water .. No syrup at all. Fries were partly raw and limp and no salt Wings came cold & with sauce on the side??? The good: Server was nice Gave our son a toy from the toy chest (he picked an eraser) Loud kids don't stand out because the place is loud In conclusion every bit of the food & drinks were TERRIBLE! But everything besides the food and drinks was very good. read more

I used to love Jungle Jims when I was younger. And by younger I mean when I was in my early 20s and liked to drink hurricanes (because what's better than a whole lot of liquor and juice right?). But now I have slightly more sophisticated tastes, and Jungle Jims doesn't really do it for me anymore. The menu is pretty broad, which can be both good and bad. Good because there's essentially something for everyone, bad because it's obviously frozen fare. It tasted alright - but when buying a bowl of pasta you'd think they'd offer some fresh ground pepper or Parmesan. The garlic bread tasted like soft styrofoam to me. My fiance's meal was good, although not as spicy as he had hoped. Overall, it was ok. You can pretty much always count on the good selection, just don't expect anything spectacular. Oh, and the liquor is still good (in smaller doses for me). read more

We went for a night out with friends and it was anything but a fun experience. We waited 25 minutes just standing in line, no one took our name or asked us anything. Then when its finally our turn to approach the all mighty podium of napkin folding, the hostess looks at us and asks "do you have your name in?". Well f@#k me no i dont. I was unaware i had to give my name because theres no sign or any indication to do so. Finally we get a table after waiting about 40minutes and the food was definitely not worth the wait. We went for the all you can eat wings and things deal. I ordered the thai chicken bites and wings and was completely disappointed. The thai bites were salty and rubbery and the chicken wings were deep fried to the point of being disintegrated. They looked more like hummingbird wings as opposed to chicken wings. On top of all of it, we ordered a peach sangria and it came with loads of ice, no crushed fruit and mold floating on the top and in the drink. BLACK DISGUSTING MOLD. Then the waitress has the audacity to ask if we want the drink taken off our bill. Well laa dee f@#$ing daaa there's a brilliant idea. TLDR long wait, bad food, moldy drinks. Bar rescue should visit this place. read more

If I can give it 0 stars I wouldn't think twice. We ordered Nachos + wings Cambo and Chicken Fajitas. Portions were very small for the price. Wings were served RAW and the server tried to convince us that they are well cooked. The Chicken in the Fajitas was processed. PROCESSED. No spices in the Fajitas whatsoever very bland taste. To topped it all server was very rude. Never again, business doomed to be a failure. Just don't go there. read more

Was back here on an overcast Tuesday evening in April. The place was less than half full. We were seated at a booth in the corner. This time I tried the Spinach Dip ("spinach, artichokes, cream cheese & sour cream seasoned with garlic, lemon and savoury spices! Topped with melted mixed cheese & served with crispy golden tortilla chips." 9.99) which didn't look to have enough chips at first, but I was very full from the dip and a few chips were left. Flavorful, but nothing memorable. My Rum Runner drink tasted good, a bit like Kool-Aid, but I couldn't taste any alcohol in it at all. So my overall experience this visit was similar to my last... not terrible, but certainly not dying to rush back. read more

Came here with 3 others. I ordered the henhouse burger. The only complaint I would have was the egg was cooked soft on the burger making it kinda messy. I should of asked for it so Im not marling it against them. Friendly staff, good atmosphere and great prices. I will come here again. read more

Jungle Jim's. There's not a whole lot to say: Jungle Jim's serves up a varied menu of items designed to appeal to a wide clientele. Unfortunately, it appears that a lot of the items are merely defrosted from frozen, and that there is little care taken to the presentation of the food. A menu as wide as Jungle Jim's can often mean that only a few things are done well, and this is the case at Jungle Jim's. You're probably safe with a salad, but their variety doesn't extend past the token Greek and Caesar salads, with a house salad attempting a go as an Amazon salad (which is greens and cheese). Prices are decent, especially for what you get, and Jungle Jim's can handle a crowd of people without too much fuss. If you're not too fussy, Jungle Jim's might suit you just fine. read more

Absolutely horrific experience. My boyfriend and I came here for dinner, we started off with cold mozza sticks then I was served fish that appeared to been microwave. Soggy and gave off an awful smell. Beware we are worried we may have contracted food poisoning read more

Went out to Jungle Jim's for a special occasion dinner...it's always such a fun and festive spot it's a treat to go, they have really fun music from more retro 90's/2000's to modern contemporary, and the food was very good, with a clean atmosphere. I had the Surf and Turf, which was reasonably priced, as far as steak, shrimp and bacon wrapped scallops go. In store bacon wrapped scallops are about $16 and this entire meal, including fries was about $23.00. Not bad at all! I had the original Jim's Hurricane drink, it was my first time having it and it was quite hilarious to us both. Our waitress was attentive to condiments, and asking for refills, desserts, etc. We took a Chocolate Cheesecake home and that was made very well too. I would recommend this to anyone out with friends & family, co-workers, or a date night! read more

Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny and now ... Jungle Jims. It has been years since I've visited Jungle Jims. In fact I don't think I've been there since first moving to HFX for University. JJs was always favorite of mine in my younger years, It's where we celebrated birthdays or just wanted a fun place out to eat, but now that I;m older, my palette more experienced in the ways of food, that in a recent visit to JJs was very disheartening as I realized the quality of the food they make. The chicken Taquitos were served luke warm, and the flavour was bland I realized the chicken in my pasta was processed chicken cut into strips and the sauce had a watered down cheesy taste to it, I don't think it was a bad night in service, as everything tasted just like I remembered :'( read more

It has potential but so does communism. Just serve real food. If you look at my plate and see the food is burnt don't bring it to the table. Also it never hurts to check on a table and see if they need anything else. Over all a terrible experience. read more

Well today was my Granddaughter Amber's Birthday and my son Rick and Daughter In Law April decided we are going to Jungle Jim's, I have to say that I was a bit Skeptical due to the Dart. Location which was not a good experience for me. But I thought hey i'll give it a go ....we were greeted by our Waitress Courtney who was very attentive to our needs, as well as the Owner Operator Bruce who sat us at our table, we ordered our appetizers Triple Dipper and SpudMANIA...Fantastic they both were. Then I had the Great Big Splash which was served as an Order of Fish and Chips by mistake they brought me my Scallops and Shrimp and discounted my meal ...which was so unexpected. Rick April and Amber also had great meals...we then ordered the desert Chimi-Cheese Cake...all i can say is OMG...delicious. My overall rating is a 5 star but would for sure give a 10 Star...Great staff Great Food and felt so appreciated as a customer that i would definitely be dining there again. So Thank You Jungle JIm's for my Great Eating Experience goes to show you that one bad Apple doesn't spoil the whole basket. Deb read more

Greetings to my fellow food lovers! If you want very casual with a little hint of wild - go somewhere else. This place ALMOST did it. The servers were fantastic. The food was awful. This is a bit of a 'you get what you pay for' kinda place. I had very low expectations going in and I was pleasantly underwhelmed, but able to remain in my seat. The food is all low standard, fried, fried again, and then smothered with terrible cheese. If that is your kinda desire - go for it - give those nice waitresses some tips. The cocktails were awful. The chicken wings came with packet-ed style sauce. Bread sticks weren't so much bread as they were crunchy grease vessels. Very low brow, heart attack educing sort of place. So, meh, don't expect anything good. read more

Awful food. I don't know why I ate here. The food is bland, no flavor and not worth it. Do not ever try the butter chicken. I'd rather kill myself. read more

Went in on Saturday, Feb 7th 2015 at 8pm with my boyfriend. Our nachos were not hot when we received them, nor were they delicious. Very very bland. I didn't mind much because I was looking forward to our meal and I love nachos regardless. Well, his french onion soup tasted not only watered down, but sharp due to burnt onions. Yuck. And I actually sent back my chicken linguine carbonera because the noodles were undercooked and the sauce was not only bland and too runny, but tasted like a pasta that comes in a 25 cent box. Extremely cheap, yet sold as a $14 dish. Side note (neither of these were hot either) They offered to replace my dish and I said never-mind because everything we ordered thus far was just not restaurant quality. They offered us a free dessert as an apology, which we accepted. We ordered the chimi-cheesecakes. When I took my first bite, everything just fell out the end because the dough was undercooked. I didn't eat any more of it. Raw dough turns my stomach. Had it been crispy like they should be, it would have stayed in tact. Also - the sauce was cherry and I hate cherry. We ordered triple berry because the menu states that its a raspberry sauce that is drizzled over, which is our favorite. It's most definitely our very last visit to Jungle Jims in Bayers Lake, unless they replace their chef. He/she clearly doesn't know how to properly cook or prepare anything. Our waitress was great and very kind and apologetic, but we don't go to a restaurant for the service, so much as the good food which is the main priority. read more

Very poor service and terrible food quality. You would have to pay me to eat there. Worst meal I have ever eaten in Halifax.

I like coming here because the food and service is predictably great. They also have yummy cocktails which are reasonably priced and a really good wing night (all you can eat!!). read more

Really disappointed with Jungle Jims after this visit. Wednesday appetizer all you can eat night no longer. Was told it was the portions were larger since they were charging more but they were the same. Never going back after this disaster. read more

I went to this place for lunch, it was cosy and the staff was nice. The food was good and at a fair price. I would like to try there supper menu some time. read more

Went on Steak night. A lot of excellent food for the price. The staff are very friendly and everything was first class.

Not a bad place, but the atmosphere is poor, the food is only alright, and the prices are exorbitantly high. There are better places, both in Bayers Lake and the HRM in general. read more

Went to wings tonight with a few friends The server Alexa was rude. 1st thing she says is she's tired and sits at our table. We all awkwaedly laughed it off. Than I ask for a drink, only to wait over 25 minutes for. And when I finally get it. Mold. Black mold floating in my pink peach sangria. GROSS. when I brought it to her attention she said and I repeat " well do you want me to take it off the bill than?" I'm beyond grossed out. At the mold and how horribly it was was felt with. NEVER GOING BACK!!!! If there was a negative score, I'd give it. read more

This is a great place to eat and have a great time, the food was hot and well prepared and was evenly priced , the staff fit the restaurant like a glove and are perfect and go beyong to make you happy read more

Went on a Saturday evening for an early dinner. I had the tacquito platter, my husband had a steak and my daughter had a bacon mozzarella burger. Mozzarella sticks and sour cream onion rings were had as well. Everything was tasty and hot and arrived quickly. Our server was excellent. Very friendly and efficient. I've been to Jungle Jim's a few times over the years and have always had a good meal. It's very family friendly so expect it to be a little loud with young kids around. No complaints:) read more

I went there once. I was not impressed. We ordered wraps. We didn't know the restaurant but I have heard since that they are supposed to have good wings. A bit more research and I may try them again. read more

The absolute worst place to eat in Halifax. Everything is frozen/deep fried and tastes horrible. The staff are not pleasant and forgot a key item we ordered. Will never recommend or return. read more
