I love this place. I lived in Kerrville for 16 years. Thank God it wasn't here. They would have gotten all my money. Laid back. Buffet vibe. (I'm a Parrot Head) Visiting from NoTex. Yes..it's bar food, but that's great. You must try it. Good people. read more

We were there passing thru on Friday. Great time here. Lots of friendly staff, tropical drinks and good vibes.

I came to this location on June 10, 2023 after coming back from retrieving Thing One from Summer camp. The outside has very little parking and looks like a little place that you may see in one of those small towns on the side of the road (wait, Center Point is a small town, LOL). When entering the establishment, visitors will find they can purchase a host of tchotchkes. After passing this area, visitors are met with a bar area and beyond that, an open outdoor seating area. While many reviewers describe the outdoors akin to stepping into the Caribbean, I describe it as a place that would make the late great Jimmy Buffett proud. When we sat at our table, we were greeted by the owner who struck up a conversation with my guest and Thing Two and handed us menus. We ordered a few things to include Queso with chips (meat added), chili cheese fries, two fish tacos, and a half order of sweet potato fries. Tilapia Fish Tacos Tilapia is not my favorite fish. However, it is often used at U.S. taco shops and trucks because of its price point. These can be a sustainable choice, for sure, but the filets can have a murky, muddy flavor that's best covered up with lots of vibrant toppings. These tacos were okay but not terrible. The pico for the tacos is actually what saved these tacos. Chili Cheese Fries Generally, chili fries are the perfect appetizer. Whether you get them at a Sonic drive-in or at a BBQ restaurant, cheesy fries coated in meaty chili are a combo that you just can't get wrong. However, these cheese fries were frozen from the bag fries and accompanied by what seemed to be a type of canned chili. After samping the tacos, I didn't expect this dish to be any more than the tacos (bar food quality). Overall, the service was pleasant and the rating given here is more for the customer service rendered as opposed to the food. The food is dive bar quality, but the atmosphere and service are far better than the food. read more

Loved, loved, loved Toucan Jim's! When you walk in you immediately feel like you're in a tropical location. Vibrant colors and plenty of room to hang out. The back yard area is amazing! Would love to go back when they have live music. The staff was also great. Two young girls who did a great job! Wish I would've gotten their names! read more

Another great stop for bikers passing by. Interesting Tahitian type motif in the backyard. Small bar in the front is usually pretty crowded. Grab one of the grass hut covered tables in the back. Service is always excellent. Food is fresh and very good stop in for a cold beer and a snack.nice way to spend a beautiful day. read more

Stopped for a quick lunch and we both had the special of the day. Crispy taco and enchilada with beans and rice. We were greeted by a super friendly young lady that was very open about sharing what a cool place we found. She made us feel very welcomed and we will probably come back another time. As for the food, not sure if "daily special" was really meant "get rid of this as it's reaching its date!" because we both were sick almost by the time we made it to the car. Whatever it was, took us both out for the whole day. I'm hoping it was a fluke, because this would be a cute place to visit again. read more

We stopped here after my father in laws funeral in Center Point. With zero advance warning to the restaurant, we showed up with 25 people and asked if they could accommodate us. They did. They went above and beyond to seat us all together, took our drink order, appetizers and food orders all in a timely manner and service was FANTASTIC. The food was great too. We had a variety : queso, cheese sticks, cheese fries, eggrolls, pulled pork sliders, quesadillas and nachos. Everything was very good. Highly recommend and will definitely be back. Thank you Toucan for accommodating us on this day. read more

It's an interesting place. Food was just food. Not good. Not bad. Just food. Server was new but did a great job. It's a "private" place with a membership. Nothing fancy. Nothing remarkable. read more

We happen to stumble into this wonderful little place that felt like we were in Key West. This place is awesome! Food was delicious!! read more

We stumbled upon this place and so glad we did. The ambiance is a surprising large tropical island getaway! The place has amazing places to sit under huts and enjoy the beautiful tropical plants and birds. The bartender was very friendly and attentive. The cold drinks hit the spot and the food was delicious! We had the wings, nachos and island tots. All were very flavorful and plentiful. We definitely plan to be back with friends and wow them with this find. read more

Pricey, frozen food - bland so will not be back. Went here before covid and it was good...another sad result of covid

Genuine Caribbean vibe in Center Point. Situated halfway between Kerrville and Comfort, Toucan Jim's doesn't look like much from the highway. In fact, it looks like someone's house. Once inside you'll find a happy group of mostly locals enjoying well prepared and reasonably priced food. Wen you walk out to the back yard, you'll find the real charm. It's a well-maintained jungle with tables named for tropical islands. The wait staff will locate your "island" supplying friendly info on the food and the host of the place. I can recommend the burger and the grilled fish tacos along with the cheese fries and queso dip with chips. The menu includes a wide variety of tropical drinks, wine and beer. It's noted that this establishment is a "private club" but the membership is free. For an unusual escape in the center point of Texas, Toucan Jim's is the ticket. read more

A great place with a great story. We arrived Sunday just as they were closing early to spend part of Easter with their families. Jim, the owner, apologized for closing early and said come see us tomorrow. So we did! There is very little parking in front, and the front of the building gives you no clue what's inside. Step inside and you are hit with the colors of the Caribbean! So bright, so colorful, so fun! Beach music is playing. There is outdoor seating for about 300. Each table has a Caribbean name. Palm trees and tropical plants everywhere. The outside dining is actually a tropical paradise that Jim has created. I wish we were here in the middle of summer to get the full on green effect! While we waited on our food, Jim told us the story of starting to build a restaurant in DFW, and ending up with his dream in Kerrville. I congratulate him for achieving his dream. My beef nachos and Glenda's fish tacos arrived. Delicious and plenty of food. Brittany was an incredible waitress. So cheerful and fun. The rum punch and pina colada were cold and delicious. As much as I love this place, I bet dining outside in the middle of summer is quite warm. If your on this end of Interstate 10, stop in and see Jim. You'll love it! read more

Great place that was in the middle of nowhere. If I were driving I would have never saw it or stopped. It looks like an abandoned house. When you get to the back it is a tiki oasis. So muck color and great vibes. This is a must stop if in the area. We went during the day but I would think it is hopping at night. read more

The food is delicious, varied dishes and the staff excellent. Three of us and we each got something different: fish Tacos, cheese burger, and nachos and all were yummy. read more

Don't go. These good reviews are BS! Bar food at best. Service was very awkward. Atmosphere would be ok minus the flies and mosquitos. read more

Very unusual find in Center Point, TX. Friendly staff, great atmosphere, good food. Most of the food is fried, but some items are made in-house. Started with the jalapeño poppers. Very good flavor and not real hot, very good. Also had the cheese quesadilla. It came with guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo. Another really nice flavor, and lots extras. Split the basic cheese burger with fries and onion rings. Another great dish. When you get there, ask for Jennifer. Really great personality, fun person. Also, has a full bar and many good craft beers on tap. I would make the time to stop by for lunch or dinner. read more

Cute environment, fun setting, Cold beer, Good food! Close without 10 mile drive. Enough to pick from and a daily special.

The coolest atmosphere, better than margaritaville! The margaritas were perfect, not too sweet. The service was exceptional as well, we were a big group and the owner made sure we had everything we needed. The regulars were very nice and welcoming. We got the enchiladas and a bunch of appetizers. The southwest egg rolls were the best thing I've had! Love music was so fun too! Definitely coming back!! read more

Really fun atmosphere and great staff. I feel like I'm in the tropics. The food is excellent also!

Absolutely darling place. Everything about this place is tropical. It really is a great place to visit with a fabulous atmosphere. You'll really feel you're on an island. The decorations alone will keep you coming back. Our server was very friendly and good. There were six of us and she did take care of us. At our table the cheese quesadilla was very good. One person mentioned the fish tacos were way too spicy but the brisket was the loser of the meals. It was awful! We've traveled across the south tasting brisket and this is the worst I've ever had. There was very little flavor but the biggest negative was that it was cooked and tough just like jerky. Who eats jerky in a sandwich? I couldn't. Don't order the jerky ... err, I mean, brisket. The atmosphere would bring us back with a group but not the food. However, there are other things on the menu to taste. I'd probably try something else but have a discussion if it was bad, I was sending it back. Notice the 3 stars ... it's for the island feel and the server. read more

Cool and tropical. Really a bar and grill. Great food. Nice outdoor seating. We had the cod sandwich and chicken fried steak sandwich. Cod was great. Chicken fried over cooked and tough. Smoking establishment. We sat outside read more

This place has terrible food and even worse service! Don't waste your time or your money!

Good as it gets in a small town. What is not to like. Locals love. They are everyday salt of the earth people. Please note that smoking is ok inside and out and wearing a mask is an infringement on our/their freedom of choice. If that bothers you then go to New York. read more

I'd heard about this place so I stopped when I was close today. Great call!!! Unsure about the place when we came in & sat down but the friendly server dispelled that fast! The onion rings were awesome & not greasy. We got the quesadillas & cheeseburger. Awesome! Can't beat a quick beach trip to Center Point! We'll be back! read more

Lovely place, good food and good service! The outside seating is wonderful with all the trees and colorful tables.

When you find places like this you keep it in your back pocket for any occasion! I will be back for sure and will bring everyone I know! Tell all your friends! read more

What a hidden gem just SW of Fredericksburg, TX!!! We found Toucan Jim's while out winery hopping and what a great place!! It's like a little piece of the Caribbean here in south central TX! Great food and drinks and phenomenal prices compared to overpriced Austin and San Antonio!! Unassuming from the front we almost drive right by, but so glad we stopped!! Highly recommend!!!!! read more

I little bit of Cozumel in Central Texas. We were blown away by their "jungle". Food was great. My only complaint and it wasn't their fault, was I couldn't get a cell phone signal to leave my review when I was there. read more

Keep in mind this is center point, so atmosphere very laid back, incredibly low key. Super friendly servers, service was a little slow considering it was a Saturday at lunch and there were only four other tables occupied. Loved that there were so many tables and we felt secluded from everything. Water served in styrofoam, food in baskets. I had fish tacos, highly recommend. Great flavor, fish grilled not fried, good slaw, corn tortillas. Very good. Husband had hamburger, said burgers cooked medium well, I would hate to see well done. Burger was crisp and black. Would not order again, BUT the fries were perfect. Some of the best ever eaten. read more

Must not really be that hurting during this pandemic because we tried to place for orders for pick up within the time before they closed and they two times hung up on us insulted us and refused to take our order. I would suggest finding a place to order your food where you're really helping people and supporting a local business that hires people that value their fellow man. Never been more dismissed as a friendly customer. Person that answered needs some humility and karma on her life. read more

This place was so awesome. It felt like we were in Margaritaville. Great food and prices. Will definitely come back

Ehh... The atmosphere is very different. We tried to get away from the bar area because people were smoking but we still were able to smell the smoke. All the tables are outside so mosquitoes were a HUGE problem! Not a lot of different food choices. I got the taco salad and it was ok. The ground beef was good but the beans were not. Great service by our waitress though! read more
