Recognized for its breathtaking views and Gulf-inspired menu, Jimmy’s On the Pier in Galveston has been named one of Yelp’s top restaurants with captivating ocean views.
A Galveston restaurant, Jimmy's On the Pier, has made the Yelp list of the best restaurants with ocean views in the United States. Jimmy, ranked 18th, is unique among Texas entries since he joins coastal jewels from California, Hawaii, and elsewhere.
Jimmy's, which is at 9001 Seawall Blvd., gives customers front-row access to the Gulf of Mexico, so perfect for tanning, surfing observation, and enjoying seafood favorites. Yelp critics rave about its its fried oysters, prawn po'boy, fish tacos, crowd-pleasing crab cakes and clam soup.
The dual-level design of Jimmy enhances its appeal. While the second floor restaurant exposes guests to breathtaking views of the Gulf and the old Galveston Fishing Pier, the first floor has a 24-hour coffee shop and gift shop. Both residents and guests find it to be a center of beachside cuisine and leisure.
Jimmy's unique approach of perfectly combining coastal environment with outstanding cuisine fits Yelp's standards for restaurants with "ocean views as captivating as the food."
Yelp published this list back in June this year, but this acknowledgement supports Galveston's gastronomic appeal by proving Texas can hold its own against the well-known beachfront locations like Hawaii and California.
Jimmy's On the Pier is a must-see location for a unique Gulf Coast experience since it captures the spirit of coastal dining in Galveston.
