Comments on: Jimmy’s Seafood – West Haven, CT http://interstatebuddy.com/i95gourmet/connecticut/jimmys-seafood/ Wed, 01 Feb 2012 07:22:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Peggy Deschamps http://interstatebuddy.com/i95gourmet/connecticut/jimmys-seafood/comment-page-1/#comment-672 Peggy Deschamps Sat, 28 Jan 2012 06:31:20 +0000 http://i95exitguide.com/i95gourmet/?p=12#comment-672 Sorry Gordon was so snooty that his palate couldn't appreciate the simplicity of Jimmie's seafood. Can there be anything so satisfying as their broiled scallops, their over-stuffed lobster rolls or their yummy fried clams. And don't forget their coleslaw! So crisp, so perfect an accompiant to their seafood. I now live in Michigan but whenever I am back in CT to visit family, no way I leave without a trip to Jimmie's at Savin Rock! I wish I could get a couple pounds of coleslaw shipped here....my husband would freak! He actually proposed to me after a Jimmie's meal!

I live in Florida now and can't get there. I loved the food. The clams were the best! The fries were great and the onion rings were fantastic. So were the hot dogs! I started going there when it was Savin Rock. I am sure if I had a chance to be in Connecticut. I would go there and still love it. My parents loved it and when I married and lived in New York and later in New Jersey we took our kids there nd they felt the same. Take me back to those days anytime.

I haven't been there in 20years, but I have fond memories. My Dad is from Westhaven, and every time he went back to visit, we just had to eat there. I loved the bright orange 70's decor. Although it's a seafood place, Jimmy's was famous for their hotdogs. I’m sorry to here about your bad experience, Gordon. I haven’t been there in 20years, but I have fond memories.

We were out of town guests and did not pick this restaurant. When you pull up you would think the place was closed down, the exterior is in disrepair and run down, then you walk in. The decor looks like it’s from the 70s. I cringed, but we were guests so we grinned and ordered. The service was okay, nothing more than you would expect from any local diner. Everything had an extra charge, even soft drink refills. The salads were far from fresh and included one olive and one cherry tomato, gee thanks. The food was horrible! Everything tasted the same from the French fries to shrimp to desert. This is why they include the tip, if they didn’t they wouldn’t get one. My wife and I only ate a few bites then took the rest home. Do your guests a big favor and don’t take them to Jimmies. This place is long past it’s prime.
