Got the oysters and shrimp combo. Homemade potato salad and coleslaw. Everything was made fresh and was delicious! Only took about 7 minutes as I was on my lunch break. The people that owned it were so friendly and service was great so gladi found this spot right across the street from where I work. It will definitely be my go to spot for some great fried seafood! read more

Yummy! Go get you some fried fish from here. Inside is small but clean and I love the pics of on the wall of some fishing trips of the customers. The waitress are always nice to me. And helpful. Good is fresh and hot. And you get a large portion for lunch. With 2 sides. And hush puppies. I think I go once a week. read more

Great food and service. Been there twice. Dog friendly too! Yummy. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx read more

Simply fantastic. It's my go to when it comes to really good seafood. They have a well rounded variety of sides too. The service is just as good as the food. If your glass gets empty it isn't for long. The walls are filled with actual fishing pictures. Where the owners Son once held 2 NC Fishing Records. I think 1 still stands today. It's a family owned and operated business. That sticks to one thing. Seafood. Please try them out. Very cost friendly. Thank U4 Reading David B. read more

The food came out hot and fast. It was all fresh and all fried. It reminded of old school seafood restaurants. They also carry a variety of fish. The waitstaff were super warm and welcoming. You can eat in or take out. Food was worth the price, not expensive at all. read more

Jim's Seafood Fresh & Fried - Crab cake, oysters, fish, okra, coleslaw - Seafood Near Me - Dunn, North Carolina

What a GEM!! 2 miles off I95 in an unassuming strip. Best fried fish, oysters, scallops, crispy, lightly battered and salted and over the top deviled crabs I've had in a long time. Cooked perfectly, crispy (not greasy) and tender (moist). The service was very good and the place was well kept and clean (the bathrooms could do with an update, needs a baby changing table). It's truly a hidden gem. Wish we lived nearby. We will be stopping by whenever we are driving by. read more

I was in Dunn to take care of some business and saw this place and didn't expect much. It is located in a strip mall and in a rather unremarkable location. The interior could stand a facelift. The food is mostly seafood if not all seafood. Do one thing and do it right. And they do! Lightly breaded and not overcooked or over salted. Even the coleslaw was to my liking, not sweet nor loaded full of mustard. Try the squash fritters. I have absolutely no other reason to go back to Dunn, NC other than to come back for dinner. read more

The food was very fresh and delicious. clean restaurant and very friendly staff. Highly recommended

Clean and very crowded we ordered and we're not asked how we wanted things cooked. I also asked for a taste of the potato salad and they just put it on as one of my sides. Our crabcakes were over cooked and the scallops and catfish came breaded and fried. We might try again during the day. Our neighbors said they like lunch there. Lots of take out dinners going out. read more

Wow!! Delicious seafood for a great price. Hush puppies and butter delivered immediately upon seating. I ordered the sautéed catfish and squash fritters. Delicious flavors and a wonderful experience. Will be back. read more

Jumbo shrimp better than anywhere in the world. Not overcooked or over breaded. The green beans were not boiled to drain flavor. Normally why get green beans out but yes. A great side choice. And the squash fritters as well. Looking forward to another visit. Support our veterans and buy their dinner if you see one - $10 worth the price of freedom. read more

Immediately when you choose your table a basket of hot hush puppies are brought to the table. My meal was good, fresh boiled potatoes were a side. Senior meal all day is same as lunch portion for $8.99. A great little local place where everybody knows everybody. Service was very good! read more

Food was sooo good! I ate everything on that plate. The waitress knew sign language and made our order easier. She was very attentive!

I have been wanting to try this place for awhile now, and I'm so happy I finally did today. Jim's Seafood is located in a little strip mall near downtown Dunn, and you can dine in or grab carryout. I wanted to try a little bit of everything, so I ordered Jim's Sampler platter with trout, shrimp, scallops, oysters and deviled crab. This meal also came with hush puppies and 2 sides. I ordered the coleslaw and squash fritters. Man alive, this is a lot of food!! LOL!!! But, I wanted to try everything, and pretend like I was on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives; so I attempted to conquer this mountain of fried food. The batter is very light and not overly seasoned, which I loved. I ate all of the shrimp, scallops and deviled crab, some of the trout, but I could barely eat anything else. Seriously, this is a ton of food for only $13.99!! I tasted the coleslaw, fritters and hush puppies, and everything was amazing. I unfortunately, did not get to try the oysters (but I'm not a huge fan of those things anyways). I will definitely be back, but I will order something smaller. If you love seafood, this place is a must!!! It's truly some of the best seafood I've ever had!! read more

Jim's Seafood Fresh & Fried - Jim's Sampler Platter...it's so delicious, but you should definitely share this with a fellow seafood lover. LOL!!! - Seafood Near Me - Dunn, North Carolina

Always consistently good food, prompt service and friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

The quality has gone down with these orders over the last 3 months. We usually order once a month the family packs because who doesn't love a good Fish Fry-Day. I know with rising costs things have to change but we literally paid $3.99 for that side of shrimp. It's normally busting at the seams but I suppose this is no longer the case. I was truly disappointed with this order and hence this was our last. We will venture up the road to Lillington from now on. read more

Food is always good! Everything on menu is great! Service is always fast and great! Always take people I know that never been before!

the owner is very immature . will mess your order up , argue you down about it. trespass you if he feels some type of way about you. very unprofessional individual with a nasty attitude. read more

Great food. All fried. Great cole slaw and fries. Can get whole fish with bones in it. Not the Ritz but food will not disappoint. Tourists, please stay away so I can get my favorite table. Tip big, service gals are outstanding. read more

Overrated in my opinion. Shrimp is not golden and crispy. Portions too small for the price they charge.

Finally made it for a sit down meal, ordered the "regular" shrimp lunch platter with 2 sides being slaw and squash fritters. (Not popcorn shrimp) Oh my! Those fritters are great! Shredded carrots, zucchini, yellow squash mixed into "chips"" battered and fried. Yum! Their slaw is made with green pepper, cabbage and sweetness. Different from others around. Side choices are typical, boiled potatoes, fries, green beans, potato salad, black eyed peas. Today, apple sauce was offered as well. A side of hush puppies came with the meal. Fresh, sweet and crunchy! Their tartar sauce is the star. Not sure the recipe but it's tasty. Love it mixed with Texas Pete. Local seafood done right. read more

Jim's Seafood Fresh & Fried - Seafood Near Me - Dunn, North Carolina

Very nice selection of fresh, locally caught seafood, simple, homemade side dishes and the most delicious hush puppies I have ever tasted. The restaurant is in an unassuming strip mall location with bright overhead lights, bench seats and no table cloths. At 6:00, we were the last customers to arrive. It took almost an hour to get our food. We ordered the fish sautéed, rather than fried, and our haddock and scallops were slightly over cooked. read more

Amazing Food! Amazing Service! We had shrimp and founder and was light crispy and fresh! You must try the hush puppies and the squash fritters!!!! So glad we dropped in for lunch! Great prices as well ! read more

The food and service is great! Definitely worth trying it out! Cute little place in Dunn with an assortment of memorabilia.

They provide a serious plate of food, which would feed the two of us (although we each got one) and the fried fish is just the way we like it. Sides are also good and the sweet tea is just to this Georgia boy's taste. Service was good and the place was neat and clean. read more

Great southern style seafood, with coleslaw, French fries, black eye peas with onion. Sweet tea!

Do not judge this "book" by its exterior! Jim's is located in a strip mall in Dunn and I passed it multiple times without looking twice. My boyfriend had a craving for seafood so we checked it out on. Saturday night and it was a great choice! Fresh seafood that tastes just like I remember from Growing up going to the beach during the summer. Hushpuppies to die for!!!! Definitely try the fried scallops....my fav! We will be back and have already started spreading the word to family and friends. read more

The seafood is some of the best around. Very fresh and cooked lightly and crispy for those fried folks! A definite lunch place with a great lunch menu that's priced very well. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but a hidden gem nonetheless. Definitely recommend. read more

Don't let the location and dated furniture fool you! This place has friendly wait staff, fresh hot food, and affordable pricing. I stopped at this location as recommended by a local while in town. ​Upon arrival, the place was clean and friendly right from the very start of entry at the front door. Fresh hot hushpuppies with butter appeared on the table along with sweet tea that would make other restaurants envy. We ordered the shrimp dinner with coleslaw, squash fritters, and potato salad. I was forewarned that the cole slaw has a mustard style taste. However, the flavor as on par and delicious. The squash fritters were one of the best I have ever tasted! I also recommend trying the special tartar sauce which is made in-house and worth sneaking some out of the door for later with chips! It was an ​entirely enjoyable experience. read more

I am so glad we picked Jim's. Food delicious, excellent and friendly service. Will definitely go again if in the area.

This is my favorite Seafood place in the area, and their homemade tarter sauce is amazing! I definitely recommend the Mahi Mahi bites and their boiled potatoes. read more

Stopped by for dinner. Would have never found this place without Yelp. In a strip mall. Everyone was locals and regulars, except me. It is like stepping back in time. Including the prices. I had the two fish combo platter. I chose flounder and shrimp and the portion size was huge. Two big flounder filets and prob 25 medium shrimp. All fried to perfection. On the side I chose green beans, cole slaw and hush puppies. All of that along with iced tea cam to $14.00 including tax. A good place for a good meal that will fill you up. read more

delicious! My husband and I took my two sons and nephew for lunch. They are all preteen/teens and we all received a very healthy serving size and it cost $50! I couldn't believe we received that amount of food for $10 a person. read more

As far as southern style seafood goes, this place is great and the service is phenomenal. Jim himself came out to thank us for coming by and the waitress was running the floor herself with top notch customer service skills -super personable and knowledgeable about the offerings. As we were eating a bag of fresh seafood arrived at the counter. We'll definitely visit again when we're in the area. read more

I'll start from the very moment we walked in. The waitress/host directed us to sit at a table, and came right over to take our drink orders. She got them quickly, while also serving another table and answering the (very busy) phone. Our orders were taken and in the kitchen with exemplary efficiency. Throughout the meal, she checked on us regularly and kept our drinks topped off. Moving on to the food, this is where Jim's shines. The first example of their fare that I tasted was their fried hushpuppies, which are offered as an appetizer. The hushpuppies were rich and very fulfilling, and had a slight sweetness that balanced the flavor perfectly; speaking as a Southerner with our traditional love of all things cornbread, I am proud to say that Jim's offers the best hushpuppies I've ever tasted. When the main course arrived, I was very pleased with the serving sizes and presentation of both my fried whiting and sides of French fries and black-eyed peas. The fish was perfected textured, being neither undercooked nor mushy, and both the fries and peas were also more than satisfactory. Make no mistake; Jim's is, from this moment on, a treat that I can scarce wait to partake of again. read more

Stay away from the oysters. Family of 5. Horrible. The food was decent. Crab legs were way overcooked. The other food was like leftovers. However I decided to be the only one to try the oysters. A day and a half later I'm in the Hospital laid up with food poisoning. After I had puked and explosive diarrhea both uncontrollable...until I was dehydrated to the point I could not hold my head and was talking stupid. Worst thing I have ever experienced...and Im a war vet. read more

Came here on a business trip. Very excellent seafood! I had the fried catfish, flounder, & shrimp. The batter was very flavorful without being overpowering or over-salty, and the fish was flaky & perfect. The hush puppies that come before the meal were a tad too sweet for my taste, but still hot & delicious. Good hidden gem in a strip mall, would definitely recommend. read more

Fantastic!! We were in town racing at Galot raceway, and looked at Yelp to see what was good in the area. This place is awesome. We got carry-out, and when I arrived there was a line waiting to eat in the dining room. The staff was friendly, and the seafood platter was amazing! Huge amount of food, tasted great, and very reasonably priced. We live in the Washington DC area, and a seafood platter like this would be triple the price back home. When we come back racing we will definitely be back. read more

Love this place I frequently stop by for mostly anything on the menu food is always fresh and timely would recommend Jim's of Dunn nc

My favorite place for good and fresh seafood. I last ordered the fried black bass and it was definitely delicious. I could not wait to go there again. The fish was supper crispy and tender. My veggie fritters were a little crunchy and tasty. I love their fried oysters, too. You gotta come and try this place out. Im in love! read more
