Don't leave your vacay without going to Toucan Jim's! Coolest place around. Tropical huts for tables, great food & the meanest Pina colada in the area. Great after river spot to hang out & have some Island tots or jalapeno sausage. Give it a try & you'll be hooked! read more

Entertaining place to visit. Lots of great decor. Lots of locals who were very friendly. Was surprised to see such a place in this area. I would recommend stuff in for a bite or a drink. read more

We heard about this place and wanted to try it for ourselves, no disappointments! The atmosphere was fun! We were greeted at the door. Although, it was Katie's first day, she was an excellent waitress. We had many questions about the food, drinks and surrounding area and she was eager answer all of them or find out the answer. We will be going back! Can't wait! read more

Toucan Jim's is the veritable oasis its parrothead owners had in mind. Somewhere about an hour northwest of San Antonio, not far from Kerrville, lies Center Point, a little town up in the Hill Country, amongst all the mesquite trees and sprawling ranch land. Straight out of a Corona commercial, this little bar is orders of latitude away from the surrounding landscape. In fact, as you enter (and exit) through the gift shop, you'll find that you're walking on, walking on broken glass.... wait, what? Sand. You're walking on sand. But the two are related. Anyway, the expansive back garden offers plenty of tropical greenery as you sit at tables or under palapas nestled among the palm trees, listening to a band playing under the covered pavilion which also serves as the dance floor. Kick back, grab a cold beer at the bar, and order one of their cheeseburgers in paradise. read more

Toucan Jim's - Covered dance floor - American Near Me - Center Point, Texas

What a rare find in the middle of the hill country! You walk in here and it is like you are transported to a lush beach haven. Really, really neat place. The food was standard "bar food" and the cheeseburgers were awesome. The exotic landscaping was like nothing I have ever seen. There are little hideaway areas to sit at and enjoy drinks. The bar was equally as awesome! It literally felt like you were on an island. The frozen drinks were AMAZING!!! A review below says they only have beer and wine but that was about a year ago? They now have a fully bar. I think this would be a great place for kids because you can let them run around and "explore". The area is fenced in and so no worries about them getting to far. One of the owners came up and was just about as nice as you can get. So friendly and told us all about the place. Good people. read more

I was volunteering for a week at CAMP Camp in Centerpoint, and the head nurse suggested a group of us check out Toucan Jim's. I can't even remember what my fellow volunteers ordered because I was too busy stuffing my face with some of the BEST fish tacos I've ever shoved into my pie hole! The atmosphere is kinda tongue in cheek, but it's really cute and welcoming. This would be THE place to go for some after work drinky-poos and a bite to eat. I wish they would open a second location in San Antonio...I think it'd go over really well. In any case...go check this place out! read more

Based on the previous reviews, my party had higher expectations than the reality of the experience. The food was HORRIBLE, the craft beer selection very limited, and good luck paying your bill when time to close out your check! The excuse was a new system- but a single pay station at the bar (on the other side of bar chairs- yes, people could sit there) is not a good design set up. I would only consider going back if I planned to pick up my own beer at the bar, pay at that time (no tab), and carry it to my table. Not really worth it- there are better places down the road in Kerrville or in the other direction in Comfort. read more

Two words. Fish tacos. They're delicious! The atmosphere is great also - I definitely recommend it!

Great little jewel in the hill country. Perfect backyard setting and the food is great, beer is cold, staff is amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

The very best non-San Antonio demnonic possessed "beach in the middle of the Hill Country" that you'll find...Simply great people.....great vibe....all love....feels like Mexico read more

Dinner on a Monday night. The place is so cool like an island paradise. Good service, good food, and good atmosphere. The outside goes on forever with ots of great amenities for a large party. Highly recommend it. One of the owners visited our table too. read more

I am so glad the weather is warming up because I LOVE this place and LOVE to sit outside. They are very accommodating. If we are going late and don't want to miss the kitchen being open (until 8:00 pm), I just call ahead and order. The Taco Salad is great as is the BBQ Burgers and Fish Tacos. There is a change. They now have a Liquor License, but it is located in a dry precinct. So, you just pay a $5 membership fee and join their "private club" and you can order a drink - more than just Beer and Wine, now. It's a great place to visit with friends and enjoy the tropical atmosphere and Thelma, the naked white Parrot (she keeps plucking her own feathers). One of my friends wants to knit her a sweater. When you go in, say "HI" to the staff and let them know you are there. It's a big place (outside) with lots of hidden nooks and crannies named after a tropical island somewhere. Say "Hi" to Jim Lackey, the owner and guy responsible for the lush landscaping. If you had slow service before, give them another chance. Life is slow on the "Island" so slow down and enjoy it. This isn't the place to be in a hurry. read more

A refreshing oasis in a one dog town. The patio is full of plants and good music comes out of no where. I had fried catfish. Succulent and fresh. Served with hush puppies, beans, coleslaw and fries. A lot of good food for a reasonable price. My mate had cheese quesadillas. She said they were good. Service was spot on. This is the kind of place one expects in Austin. Will definitely be back. read more

Delicious food. Diverse menu. Great prices for the awesome food. Beautiful outdoor seating are and in the middle of July, no mosquitoes in sight (they have some indoor seating too but there were people smoking at the bar and we just don't dig that but it's absolutely not a turnoff). We started with the Toucan Tots, smothered in bacon, cheese, and chili, and holy moly it was good! Could've had just that! Hubby had wings and loved them. I had the Beer Battered Cod (fish and chips) with a tossed salad and it was so good! Sometimes fish and chips is too greasy and this was not. The Toucan Tartar sauce is delish too! Great and friendly service. read more

It was a great little restaurant off the beaten path. I really enjoyed the chicken quesadilla while my boyfriend enjoyed his fried shrimp. The prices were very reasonable for the amount of food. We sat inside but their outside area is really beautiful as well. They have a bar but you will need your drivers license to become a lifetime member as it's a dry precinct. read more

Food is good. Unique relaxing atmosphere, but the cigarette SMOKING is atrocious. 4 other people walked in and walked right back out due to the smoke, and we were only inside for 10 minutes. read more

Great atmosphere, I felt like I was on a Caribbean island in the middle of the Texas hill country. Fox was very good and service was great. Can't wait to go back. read more

This place is awesome. We saw it on "Texas Bucket List". You will think you are in paradise in the tropics, not Texas. Great food, great drinks and great atmosphere. Check it out. Wonderful new friends met. read more

Toucan Jims has a Great outdoor island feel. We stopped by last minute for dinner and had a great time. The staff was very friendly and they even had live music. You enter through the bar area and stroll down paths till you find a palm frond covered table you like and grab a seat. Their menu is mostly appetizers, burgers and some sandwiches, and they have alcoholic drinks as well. As it's a dry city you'll have to buy a membership to get alcohol. Not sure the price as we didn't indulge this time as we had a long drive home. The virgin Pina Colada was delicious however. My wife had a burger and I had a brisket sandwich and sweet potato fries. All were excellent. The only negative was to be expected in an outdoor restaurant in Hill County Texas in June and that being the humidity. read more

You got to check this place out little piece of Paradise in the Hill Country. Good food good drinks and great people

OMG!!!! Drove by this place 4 days in a row and never knew it was here. Checked Yelp for a place to eat that was close to the RV Park and here we are. Next year when we come back here for golf we will definitely bring our whole group. Great concrete dance floor. All the pathways led to so many little areas. They now have a liquor license and you give them your DL to be a member for free. Will probably go back tomorrow just to try some other things. I had the chicken quesadillas and they were full of meat and cheese!! A very local place, wish we had something like this in College Station. read more

Terrible service on food orders. Great for just a drink. Waited 2 hours for food and eventually just left without ever being served despite being told numerous times they were working on it. To be fair, we were with a large group, however they knew well ahead - weeks- in advance that we were planning a visit. Cool vibe, again, for a drink. read more

First, I love the atmosphere, but then again, I am a late blooming Parrothead. The food, all of it is fried or grilled, was good, too. However, they have no liquor license, so if you go there expecting a fruity drink made with rum, you will be disappointed. Beer and wine coolers only. Timing also is important. We ate around dusk and all the flying insects loved my fish. Next time I go, I think I'll wait for full dark. read more

Feel like I was transplanted to an island paradise. Palm trees, sand, colorful tables and chairs and one rooster. Cute cute place. At this time they only have a beer and wine license and you better like the big names as their beer selection is boring with a big B. I could get past the beer selection if the staff was pleasant. As the only patrons with three people working I would expect a little conversation. Nothing! Felt like an unexpected visitor rather than a paying client. Work on that customer service-you could be a great place. read more

Wonderful place!! Great food, great prices, great atmosphere! It's a little piece of a tropical paradise in Texas. I had the burrito and hubby had the hamburger and they were delicious! Staff was very courteous and attentive read more

This is probably the best tropical food restaurant in center point so come by and have some food it is real good....

This was the most cuties tropical atmosphere for the hill country, it was like being on a tropical island. Full of color and life. They had indoor and outdoor seating and coverage everywhere. Mike gave us a tour of the place and he was as friendly as you own family member. I had the fish taco's which were amazing, my husband had the sausage rolls and those where just as good. Staff was top notch and friendly; we will be back as soon as we make another trip to that area. read more

WOW. What a unique place! Atmosphere is amazing. Staff is friendly and prompt. Great place to go for a bite to eat and a cold beer. I cant get over the scenery. Its literally like a tropical paradise in this place. I wish they had a location in austin. There would be a line to get in. read more

My husband and I sent to Toucan Jim's yesterday for lunch. Cute place with Key West vibe. Had outstanding fish tacos!!! Waitress Danny was wonderful. Will definitely be going back. read more

Very nice vibe at this place... kinda strange considering it is such a small town. Colorful locals adorn this island themed bar. Decent drink prices and decent food. Explore the outside bar area, where all table are named after tropical islands or countries. Palm trees, tiki masks and lush plants provide a nice backdrop for lunch or dinner with friends. Worth a try. read more

About a week ago, I went with a couple of friends and really enjoyed the atmosphere and food and drinks, until the end of the night. My two friends who are gay had put an arm his boyfriend and a man with a white beard (who I was later informed was the brother in law of the owner) came up to my two friends and told them "that isn't allowed here". Keep in mind we were at a corner table with NO ONE around and it wasnt like they were making out. Then he continued to watch us for the remainder of the time we were there. This brought my friends to tears so we paid our bill and left. Our waitress was awesome, but that was unacceptable. While we were walking out, a couple of the employees (who were off) were drinking in the inside bar, and were talking about what kind of porn they watch very loudly. So to be watched and discriminated against while it's own employees were being more inappropriate is beyond me. Will not be coming back and will make sure to let my friends and family know of my experience. read more

A touch of the islands in a town of ~500. Some of the friendliest people you will meet. Recommend Fish Tacos, cheese fries, Toucan Salad. Only negative is extremely inconsistent hours in the winter, but counterbalanced by live music in the summer. read more
