Best fish n chips in a very long time. Reminded me of The Fish Bowl restaurant in Morro Bay. Solid cod filets in a light coating, not battered and not greasy. We went for lunch and sat in a booth, however, we were out of sight of the majority of the restaurant and the waiter's view, and as the saying goes, out of sight out of mind. Our water glasses were never refilled, not once. And when it was time to pay, we had to wait longer than we should have. If you have an aversion to royal blue then this place might get to you. The decor is overwhelmingly royal blue, and I mean everything. My husband and I want to go again and sit at the bar and order dinner to see how that goes. Overall we thought our food was delicious. They have many huge big screen tv's which were all tuned to the World Cup. read more

Ok, it was only the first weekend this much, owner over hyped spot was open so I will cut him some slack. I really was hoping this was going to live up to the owners enthusiastic social media buildup, but sadly It fell way short on many crucial aspects. Let's talk about atmosphere and build out first Is it fine dining or just a dolled up sports bar? I really can't tell. It's definitely not intimate as the piano was piped way too loud for that. And the owner walks around with a microphone in his hand singing bits and pieces of songs. bad ego karaoke. The build out was nothing special, just basically paint the walls and beams. no cool artwork or vibe. The bar top is hip, as is the actually bar area. The dining area, nothing special, the table settings standard mid level restaurant. It actually is a decent place to watch sports as they have about 12 huge tvs. So confusion as to what the owner is trying to do. The cheesy, loud piano/singer is just so overwhelming. really, do we really need to hear Piano Man sung off key by the owner ? 2) service: We were greeted with a smile by the hostess and was sat right away at a two top. the place looked busy. It took 25 minutes to get a cocktail delivered to our table. They were out of several of the options on their bar menu as, according to our waiter, "our distributor hasn't delivered our full liquor menu yet". the entire staff was actually trying hard, but it appears the process was not quite dialed in yet. I hope they get it dialed in. good effort but needs work. The entire time the owner is literally pacing the entire room singing songs. Plus the hammered ladies pole dancing on the stage and slurring into the microphone at full volume doesn't help either. How about dropping the ego and get your service tuned in. Menu: ok, here we go. $20.00 for a baked potato and $90 for a steak? Pricing was to the gouge point. It's funny because scattered throughout the menu are comments like "jimmy's favorite " . Almost half the items on menu were Jimmys fav. I ordered a burger and the menu says available in Turkey meat. Waiter came back and told me they don't have that meat yet. I opted for the chicken breast then, with fries. My fries were ice cold and I sent them back even before the server left the table. My date ordered the meatballs. Super dry. The plating and presentation of food is very very mediocre. no style, no beauty. Diner style. The cocktails the same. Just blah. Definitely no craft cocktails coming from their mixologist. They are trying so hard to be upscale, but the open soda machine and server station about 3 feet from the dining tables kind of kills that. So if you are looking for fine dining, pass on this one. plenty of other spots with atmosphere and vibe. It probably works for an over priced, short pour cocktail and an average frozen, reheated appetizer at the bar, only if the owner isn't singing instead of working. Food 2/5 Atmosphere: cheesy, tacky and confusing on what they want to do, upscale dining falls way short especially at menu pricing 3/5 Vibe: potential but cheap feeling. Outlook: won't return unless just to have a cocktail. Unfortunately Jimmy will be with the previous 4 owners in 5 months. closed by the 2026 holiday season. read more

Jimmy B's was absolutely amazing! The food was incredible, and you can tell Chef Eddie takes great pride in every dish. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Michline provided exceptional service and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. Her kindness and attention to detail truly made the experience even more special. We can't wait to come back. Highly recommend! read more

Service is great. Greatspot to watch the World Cup and UFC Fights. And the design of the building is very inviting. Don't go to Antoine's. Their service is awful read more

Michelline, was the best 1st impression bartender we have ever met in our lives. We are frequent dining long time 23 year residents in San Clemente. Secondly our food server Makai ( famous in this town) is so friendly and a great staple for this place. You guys hit it out of the park with the vibe and ambience you have created is top notch. You leveled up in talent and food. WE ARE HOOKED! Everyone must go!!!!!! read more

I love this place!!!!! Such a great addition to the area. The decor is beautiful and the singer on the grand piano is to die for! The staff is so friendly and the food was great! Will definitely be back! The owner was there the whole time and very obvious he poured his heart into this place. A huge win for San Clemente read more

After attending a karaoke night here I returned to have a steak dinner because I really enjoyed the vibe here. I had a ribeye with Jimmy's vegetable medley. Done medium rare and executed very well! Met the shift manager and chef and they answered my questions and received my feedback well in addition to being very welcoming. Service was on point. My server Bella was very attentive and right there when I needed. The Jimmy's choice old fashioned was tasty with a little lemon twist added to the orange peel. I enjoyed that. All in all another good place to add to the list of local favorites. read more

I came here for the World Cup game, and I was PACKED! Such a vibe! The decor gives it a sexy feel and I love the bar! Such a difference from Daily's! I had the Wagyu, and wow!!! Best I have ever had! Will definitely be back for my girlfriends; thank you so much for the great experience, will definitely be back! read more

This place is amazing! Food, staff and the vibe are insane! It's so nice to have a sports bar like this in the triangle! All others are scuzzy so I'm so glad to have this spot to come to! The owner is so nice and welcoming read more

If you're looking for the best sports bar in San Clemente, this is it! The food is absolutely amazing, the atmosphere is fun and welcoming, and the service is truly top-notch. Whether you're watching the big game or just grabbing a great meal with friends, this place delivers every time. You don't want to miss this gem if you're in San Clemente! read more

Oh, where to start. Staff was friendly and service was pretty good. Food was mediocre at best, especially given the price point - this place isn't cheap. Biggest issue is the owner - more interested in having fun, singing karaoke, flirting with attractive females instead of ensuring customers are having a good time / enjoying the food & drink. If you do decide to go here, please do NOT bring your children - 100% not appropriate for them (thanks to the owner's behavior). Will not go back. read more

The vibe is not as bad as the other reviews are saying it is, however it is definitely an experience unlike any other restaurant in San Clemente. Unfortunately, the prices are too high for a locals restaurant. The servers were friendly and attentive. read more

The margaritas were on point. Im kind of a marg snob and these did not disappoint. I had appetizers at the bar and everything was delicious. Thursday nights are Kareoke night. It was so fun and a great crowd. I will be back! read more

Amazing service from Aurora, delicious dirty martinis and very good meatball appetizers. JimmyBs has a ton of potential. Tons of big screen TVs and good music. It's a little expensive for the portion size but I absolutely recommend giving it a try. read more

Had a great night here on my birthday last week. Jimmy himself welcomed us on the mic and we took a birthday shot. Bar has a great vibe and good atmosphere and heard the food is great though we just had drinks. Jimmy Bs has become an all time memory since that night and looking forward to seeing our guy again! 10 out of 10!!!! read more

We had the best time here tonight! The vibes were high, the espresso martini was actually perfect and the food was amazing. Loved it!

I wanted to like this place, but it just didn't quite hit the mark for me. They didn't have Jameson, which was a bit of a letdown and the coors light keg blew so that sucked. There was a live guitar player who was amazing and we loved him but it seemed like the owner wasn't feeling the same way. It was a little uncomfortable watching the owner be pretty critical of him while he was preforming. The espresso martini was good, just not as good as Jane's down the street, which kind of set the bar for us. Davis our server was great, and the beignets were also very delicious. Overall, it's a decent spot, but just didn't feel like it fits in with the San Clemente vibe. I'd be shocked if this place lasted longer than a year. The owner and the vibe does not fit #onetownoneteam read more

Walked in for a drink some dude in a pink shirt yelling or attempting to sing on a microphone. Ordered a cocktail was expensive and average. Cheesiest place in OC. White linens, chandeliers, and a velvet rope outside the place was the ambiance. Finished half the drink won't return. Good luck making it 6 months in this town. read more

Was not expecting much in all honesty, but was pleasantly surprised. Our server Aurora was friendly and attentive, so if the rest of the staff is as good as she is, Jimmy should be proud. We showed up with about 30 minutes left of happy hour and we were pretty hungry so we ordered all of the appetizers on the happy hour menu. Everything was great, they make a good burger! The much talked about vibe was good, soccer was on the tv, there was a guy playing guitar and singing a variety of hit songs. We were a bit off to the side so we could hear the music and still have a conversation. Overall a good experience and would go back. read more

So I stopped in for breakfast. My wife and I have been to Jimmy Bs in Palm Springs and enjoyed it. I started with the Bloody Mary which was on point. Ordered the skillet scramble which didn't disappoint. I'd definitely come back and recommend read more

Where can I even get started. First off, Jimmy D, the obnoxious owner, comes in when I was trying to enjoy my meal that was extremely mediocre and cold, getting charged $100 for just a steak, and he just sings kareoke of horrible covers over the live entertainment trying to divert all the attention on him. My god what a narcissist. Such a big ego for man with a tiny manhood. Then as the evening of annoyance progresses, Jimmy invites nearby early 20's women to sit at his table where he brings an endless stream of alcoholic beverages to try and intoxicate these women. Then, these girls straight up started twerking on and giving Jimmy D a lap dance right in the middle of the restaurant. Like this is supposed to be a sit down restaurant, not a strip club you pervert. 0/10 never coming back. The food I had to survive off in 'nam was more delightful. Would straight up experience the horrors of my tours again then to ever have my presence even 100 feet away from this shitshow of a "restaurant." read more

5 stars for Jimmy B's, but especially for our server, Makai. He's a local surfer guy with an awesome attitude and made the whole experience way better. Super friendly, attentive, and genuinely cool to talk to. He kept everything running smoothly and made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. Great food and atmosphere, but Makai's service is what will bring me back. read more

Place was a big disappointment. Was really looking forward to the opening after reading all the hype from Jimmy. It was the 2nd night they were open. The help did a good job but this is just an overpriced sports bar. The food was not great and prices were crazy. 22.00 for a wedge salad. Dressing was not great. Burger was over 20.00 and did not even include fries. It was not a great burger. Steaks were over 60.00. I could go to Rare society and get a better meal if I wanted to pay that much for a steak. Not sure this place will make it. read more

Run... NO vibe. This place is a disaster. So depressing this is in San Clemente. Worst ambiance and decor I've ever experienced in my life. Is it a piano bar? A sports bar? Or fine dining? None of the above. read more

A real disappointment. Where to begin? First, an identity crisis - Is this a sports bar, a nightclub, a burger place, piano bar, or fine dining? its very confused - pick a lane. Hygiene - Unkempt bathroom that was not just dirty but was evidently spared any maintenance in the recent "full renovation" after Daley's. How about the renovation itself - a weird design that left a servers station, trashcans, and random cases of soda in plain view of the "upscale" (their description) bar and dining area. The blue chandeliers and glowing bar that have been hawked on social media for months are a matter of taste - not mine - and in distinct contrast with the garishly glaring lights from the kitchen along one wall. Most aggravating was the owner who insists on having a microphone in hand at all times and incessantly sings karaoke over the top of the entertainment, while the staff snickers. We came in to check it out and we were told we couldn't order from the bar, because they were trying to "keep out the riffraff" and crowded bars encouraged that. Well, at 10pm on a Saturday night they had nothing to worry about crowds, and if they don't make some changes, this place has a lifespan only as long as the owners ego and wallet continue to subsidize it as his personal folly of self-gratification. read more

Visited on Saturday for a quick drink and to look at a menu. Bartenders were friendly and attentive. Menu items were a little pricey so I doubt that we will dine here. Prices were similar to Rare Society but not the same vibe or level of service. The decor was fine, but very similar to the previous establishment, just a little more upscale looking. We did like all the big screen tv's that were added. I am not sure how long this place will last, but wish them luck. read more

Came in for a Sunday brunch got seated, had to ask for silverware had to ask for waters, I was served by four different people which was weird considering we were the only people in the place. Not Orange County/costal esthetic very weird vibe and food was below average. Will not be going back. read more

Debated on posting this. We went opening weekend. The drinks were really good. The steak was really good. A little pricey- but good. For these 2 reasons. I will try it again. This place has a bit of an identity problem- maybe this will work for enough people and it will thrive. Sports bar vibe with white (and already stained) table cloths. Bright lights like an operating room. And a piano with a good singer but you couldn't hear yourself think it was so loud. And then add in Jimmy B on the microphone hitting a chorus once in a while or telling everyone "listen to her voice. You guys. Listen", while I'm trying to have a conversation with my friends. These things can be fixed easily if Mr B wants. The server was very friendly. My steak came out first. The other 4 in our party got their food 10-15 minutes later. I'll chalk that up to opening night. But to see multiple employees standing around chatting with Mr Microphone while it was pretty clear only 1 of us had our meal was a little disappointing. Told my friends this place should be named "Jimmy Bs Old Guy Frat Party" because that's what it felt like. Could be a fun spot to day drink and watch sports. Or come in with the boys after a round of golf for an early dinner. Not a date night spot. Not a fine dining spot. Will probably try again this summer and would love to recant all of the negative stuff that I wrote. read more

First of all, the staff is amazing. Great vibes and a genuine excitement that made the experience memorable. Jimmy walks around with a mic, narrating the evening like an MC- take that how you will. We actually love his restaurant in PS but for someone new to town, it feels a bit out of touch. White table cloths, owner on the mic, live music, sports... what connection does this place with SC? My two cents are keep it a casual sports bar and add your flare where you see fit. If you really want to last in the triangle I think the current model won't work. Nothing wrong with a casual sports bar with live music here and there but this isn't it. read more

Went here this weekend with my husband and it is not for the young crowd in san clemente. We both got drinks my husband wanted a beer that wasn't even on the menu so he ordered a different beer, I got a margarita which was sub par. The food was not good everything was $30 or more and had no taste to it. My husband got a burger and fries, burger was gross, also cut in half? he's not 5, fries also had no taste to it and came out semi warm. I had the chicken parm and again no taste. Between my husband and I, both 31, we were the youngest ones in there by about 20-30 years. I will not be going back. read more

owners a douche, food was crap, the insides not san clemente, don't see it being there for continuing months.

didn't card me who's freshly 21 at the bar or anyone else but carded my boyfriend and told us they wouldn't serve us even tho they were dead. terrible experience would never go back bad vibes all around read more

This sports bar and restaurant just opened up and are still getting the kinks out. Servers and Managers were very nice and were trying hard. Nicely remodeled space with lots of new TVs to watch sports; however, they didn't have any sports packages subscribed yet so they couldn't play any sports on the TVs. We made a reservation for two for dinner at the bar; however, they were no bar seats available and we were told the bar seats were first come, first serve. They need to remove the bar seat option from their reservation system. Food was above average but not something you would crave or come to the place for the food. $99 for a 12 ounce ribeye with some vegetables. $30 for a cheeseburger with fries and most other items were overpriced. This is a restaurant better placed in Palm Springs at their other location were you want loud music in an environment where you can barely hear each other speak while you get buzzed on drinks while watching sports on TVs. I would only return in the future if you want to watch sports on TVs, not as a place to have dinner and talk with friends. read more

Went here for the USA vs. Australia World Cup game and left very disappointed. We arrived right before the game started and immediately ordered food and drinks. We ordered fries, calamari, and fish and chips, all pretty basic bar food items. Our drinks and even our water did not arrive until halftime, about 45 minutes into the game. Unfortunately, our food never came out at all. After waiting through the entire match, which lasted 97 minutes, we ended up canceling our order. We understand this was not our server's fault, and we do not blame her. However, as we continued asking about our food, we watched the owner make an absolute fool of himself. He grabbed a microphone and walked around the restaurant saying, "I'm Jimmy B and this is my restaurant." Instead of helping his staff or making sure food was getting out of the kitchen, he sat at the packed bar with two seats reserved for himself and his business partner. Those seats could have gone to actual customers. To make matters worse, there was only one bartender working and he was ordering drinks while customers were already waiting.It was disappointing because we had high hopes for this place. Based on our experience, and what we saw other customers dealing with on a busy game day, it is hard to see this place being successful long term. read more
