Delicious food, great atmosphere, friendly staff. The breakfast quesadillas and burrito were better than expected and probably the best breakfast I've had in a while. Very cool atmosphere too. Underwater decorations inside. Large outdoor patio with tables overlooking the water. Delicious drinks. Live music read more

They are getting 2 stars because I really enjoyed the staff (most of them anyways). The actual food though is not good at all. It's "edible" at best and that highly depends on what you're eating. The price is also high but not as high as I guess it could be given that it's in the hotel. The chicken sandwich was completely inedible. We had a seafood sampler and the only thing cooked properly was the scallops. Everything else was hard as a rock. The appetizer platter was ok at best. The calamari was good though. My eggs for breakfast were super cold and mediocre. The portions are huge though which was nice. Overall, don't waste your money eating here and go somewhere else nearby. read more

Completely unprepared for spring break. We have been waiting for an hour, 6 people, and folks that came 40 minutes after us with 6 have been seated. Half the restaurant is empty. Do not come here under any circumstance. There have been been several dozen people that simply walked out. Lisa Mirochana is the food and beverage manager, she should be ashamed. read more

Ashely was amazing - food was pretty good i would recommend if you want a water front view and nice service!

Went to Jimmy Guanas for lunch with my buddy James to reconnect after many years. Thought this was a cool spot to do so but boy was I wrong.... Greeted by a rude hostess that couldn't get away from her phone to sit us so that was one way to start the lunch Our server Bianca was horrible. Did not refill drinks and very inattentive to us. It was only two of us so I didn't think we were too much for one person but she seemed to be occupied with someone else. I left this lunch knowing more about her personal life than catching up with my buddy... very unprofessional and I will never be back. read more

Only had the breakfast, cannot talk about lunch or dinner. Service was fast and kind, instantly got a table. The ambience was great for a beach themed restaurant. I got the 4 mini waffles with powdered sugar and whipped cream, they were alright. On par with hotel breakfast. The coffee was alright too. The restaurant was convenient because it is located in the holiday inn lobby. Would go back. read more

Friendly. Fantastic food. Really great decaf. Fun decor. Well priced. I had the western skillet. Hubs had biscuits and gravy. Couldn't finish it all. Roomy booths by the window. Staff came running out after us with our forgotten phone. Very nice folks. read more

One of the worst food experiences I have ever had. Servers seemed to have no idea of what they were doing and gave weird vibes. The kitchen was extremely slow. The food was sub par at best. The vibes were weird. Also when you paid $20 to park, we were told that we would recieve a credit- which we did not. We wanted to get out of there so we didn't argue it. The whole experience was extremely disappointing and out right embarrassing. I wish I read reviews before going! Should have listened to my 3 yr old nephew and gotten popeyes, service and food would have been better. read more

Very disappointed: 1. outdoor seating was n/a for breakfast. 2. Restaurant was dark and a bit dingy 3. Food was luke warm and below average quality read more

Stay away. Rated 3.8 on other sites. that is generous. Waited 1 HOUR and 45 MINUTES for lunch. Have gone hear 5 times in 5 years. ALWAYS, they have only one cook per the staff. Poor staff. Go to Crabby Bills of PJs for 15 minute service and better food. read more

Starting the weekend at a beach bar is always a good choice! This place is awesome! It's inside and outside with great views and lots of seating! The menu is vast! It has some great beach mode features and everything we tried was tasty! You have to get a Pretzel shaped like an Iguana. The service was excellent! We had a large group and never waited for drinks, the food came pretty quick, and they kept the table bussed! Lots of great photo spots! This is a must stop when in Indian Rocks Beach area! read more

This is the place to go when the weather in Florida gives you the sunny/blue sky days as they have quite an outdoor seating area. You can enjoy watching the activity on the inter-coastal and they often have live music to help with the vibe. A part of the Holiday Inn, they offer a good sized parking lot and places to tie up boats if you come by water. Our most recent visit was more for the beverages, but we did enjoy some coconut shrimp. read more

Food and service were great under trying technical conditions for servers and bar staff. GM seemed a little heavy handed and threatening to to the he "crew that do" because she did not have the technology ready to go for her staff to succeed. For me, the consumer in the middle of your problem it was obvious but for me the consumer who is in Vaca and looking for a relief if these corporate problems- I don't want to see it and I do not want to see obviously hard working, competent workers being belittled by someone who who feels empowered to throw everyone under the bus THAT SHE IS DRIVING! read more

Shrimp and scallops was good, salmon was fine, but the grouper was bad. We sent it back and got mango mahi instead, and it was also bad. My wife a daughter just had grouper last night and loved it, but couldn't eat either of these dishes. read more

I was there tonight , place was busy which I understand it took 15 mins of waiting for someone to seat us. The woman manager asked another manager to seat at table 64 , he didn't say anything at all( not even enjoy your meal or someone will be right with you) . We sat and watched multiple servers walk pass us and not even a knowledge us , we watch another group walk in 15 minutes later and there orders were taken within minutes. We waited another 15 minutes and still no one had A knowledge us . At this point we have been there for over 40 mins, so we decided to walk out. As we left a waitress said you guys were there for a long time did anyone wait on you. Absolutely not. The bad part is I am a chef for the Tampa bay Bucs and this was by far the worst experience I have ever witnessed. I was a GM for restaurants for over 20 years before working for the Bucs. I will definitely telling my friends , players and any one else that ask to stay away from this place. The fact you were busy we would have waited a lot longer , but to no even being acknowledged for over 30 mins is unacceptable . Not only did you miss out on a sale or potential sale in the future. We went to another restaurant and the waitress even received a 40% tip on a pricey bill. I did not want to leave any star read more

Terrible! Very under staffed. Food was sub par at best. The long wait was not worth the quality of the food. They were having to substitute menu items because they were out of things. Never again. If I could give fewer than one star I would. read more

I dined here multiple times on my trip to Tampa! I did stay right there at the Holiday Inn, so access to this restaurant was extremely easy. I felt the dining experience was very magical! I loved being by the water, with the hanging lights, and live music. The servers were also friendly and very hospitable. My drawback was not loving some of the menu items like the gumbo in particular. It just tasted overly roasted and salty. But, outside of that... no complaints! I highly recommend the Jolly Mon shrimp appetizer! It's indulgent, sure, but oh my goodness! It just melts in your mouth! Also, the iguana pretzel was so cute and so many people kept ordering it, so I had to know! I'm so happy I found out! Most pretzels are so dry they suck the moisture out of your mouth, but this pretzel was buttery and the beer cheese dip was a fantastic pairing. I would love to come back here sometime! I even saw dolphins in the inter coastal it buddied up to while having some lunch! Loved it! read more

Do yourself a favor and skip this restaurant. It was honestly one of the worst dining experiences I've had when it comes to both food and drinks. The only pleasant part of the experience was the hostess, who was friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, the rest didn't live up to even basic expectations. The bartender couldn't make a proper margarita, which was surprising for a place that seems to cater heavily to tourists. I understand tourist spots can get busy, but the quality of the food and beverages still needs to be there. This place really needs to do better. read more

Cute place on the water in IRB. It is well decorated. They have music at night and lots of outdoor seating. You go for the atmosphere more than anything. Service was good. Everyone was kind. But there was only one serve. Both poor was running around. Food came out fast and was pretty good. read more

I hit a few of the jimmy's when I'm down in Florida. This one was in a cool hotel where you can play putt putt. Also a water park right outside of it. Great big deck. Staff was very good trying to find me a I wear a 2X. Sometimes they're very hard to fine. They went out of their way to get me one. And I do appreciate it. Food was good. Beers were good and cold. read more

I've had both the lunch and breakfast they provide. In the first photo is the absolute delectable bonsai shrimp and the second is the delightful French toast and oranges both were amazing! The service was great with speedy response times and a great attitude towards me and my family with there being no issues whatsoever on both visits! I can't think of a single thing bad to write down because all of it down to the ambiance was phenomenal! With live music and great eats this place is amazing for you or your family and a great place to go when on vacation! read more

They had a "limited menu" so we couldn't get the items we had seen online. We didn't know that until we were seated. Waitress was not very friendly when taking our order. SLOW service. Three out of six selections were not correct. Burger not cooked correctly. Items requested to be left off of other items. Chips or slaw weere the only sides. Don't plan on another visit. read more

They might want to rename this place "Jimmy Guanos". It took 25 mins for our food to come out after ordering, despite after being told numerous times that it was 'almost done'. When it did finally come out, it was cold and below average for bar food. The only thing worse than the food was the service - in the middle of trying to order more food, our waitress walked away, not to be seen again for 10-15 mins. I don't know if they have a general apathy toward tourists or families with small children but my recommendation is to stay away at all costs. read more

I really really want to like this place. We stay in property almost every year. I only eat here when I have to. This last visit I really had hope because our waiter had a good sense of humor.....but that was the only highlight. We stopped to get lunch before our flight in Tampa. We had a couple hours but didn't think we would have to use it up there waiting for food. We got there and we were the first table after which 4 more tables walked in. We were the first to order (my friend got boiled shrimp) my husband and I got a simple burger. We waited almost an hour for our simple food. It was a nice sunny day outside so we didn't get fuming mad but when part of our order was forgotten and then we never got the side of chips until we finally checked out. So we gave it to our friend who was staying longer than us. The burgers were not cooked right but we had to gobble and go. The burger was not at all worth the wait. Why the waiter asked what temp we wanted our burger we have no idea. They both came out well done. The waiter was joking with us for a while until he could see things were going south. Then they had computer problems and couldn't figure out our bill. The table behind us got so pissed about the wait for their food they just decided to leave (so it wasn't just us). A time before (last year) we tried their breakfast inside.....epic fail just go to the breakfast joints over the bridge....avoid the breakfast here like COVID! I will say the night before we ordered some deep fried shrimp that was good so we felt courageous and try lunch.....we shouldn't have. It's just so disappointing, it's a convenient enough location but they just can't seem to get it together. They gotta do something about it. They are sitting on a goldmine if they could just get the kitchen right and the waitstaff. If you can, go someplace else you should. I will give them yet another try in a few months and let you know if anything changed but I'm not holding my breath. read more

Gross. Sure they've got an extensive drink menu and patio seating on the water. But overall it's gross average food. I got the only mildly healthy dish on the menu - Asian vegetables either rice. It was awful and left me bloated for days. Drinks turned out to be average too. It's just all a lot of hype. Do not recommend. read more

It's my birthday and decided to eat here. You can't go wrong with the BOGO!!. We were greeted by friendly staff. We were seated promptly with option of inside or outside dining. We opted with outside dining. The weather being perfect and a nice breeze off the water. Beer was nice and cold too. I opted for the Palm Island Chicken pasta blackened with a nice zesty Alfredo sauce. My cohort, who is paying the bill.got the Rasta Shrimp pasta. Both our meals were excellent. Give it a try. read more

I really feel let down by Jimmy Guana's. It would be such a perfect hidden gem...it's literally quite hidden as it is tucked away behind the open-air hotel "lobby/atrium." The view on the water is also sooo nice and they have live music! Unfortunately, the food and service did not live up to the atmosphere. The server barely acknowledged us and spent most of her time leaning against the bar (At first I assumed she was waiting on drinks to be made but after a while, it was obvious that couldn't have been the case.), I even walked up to her to ask to put in my order eventually. When the food finally came it was pretty much just fine. It would be a spot that I would go back to for beer and live music. read more
