Thumbs up all around at Taste of Point Loma! 👍

We loved seeing so many familiar faces, connecting with our Point Loma neighbors, and serving up our Brandt Beef Sliders topped with chorizo jam, pepper jack, and avocado ranch.

Big thanks to our friends at San Diego Yacht Club and Taste of Point Loma for having us!

BIG NEWS FROM JIMMY’S FAMOUS!

In case you haven’t heard, with our recent menu change, BOTH Jimmy’s Famous locations are now 100% SEED OIL FREE! 🙌

That’s right. No seed oils in our kitchens. Period.

We’re using beef tallow for our fries, wings, and fried favorites. We’re using olive oil for our house-made dressings.

This is a BIG move for Jimmy’s Famous and another step in our commitment to serving great food made with quality ingredients, without compromising the flavors you know and love.

Same Jimmy’s Famous favorites. A whole new way of cooking.

What people say

New American restaurants are known for their innovative take on classic American dishes, using high-quality ingredients and artisanal cooking techniques to create bold and flavorful meals. And Jimmy's Famous American Tavern in San Diego is no exception.

This family-owned eatery prides itself on serving up classic regional American dishes with an artisanal twist. They use only the best ingredients, sourced from top farmers, growers, ranchers, fishermen, and producers to create their delicious menu items.

One standout dish at Jimmy's is their half-pound burgers made with heart-healthy Mishima Wagyu beef. This beef is slow-fed and humanely raised without any hormones or animal bi-products, making it a healthier option than traditional beef. And the flavor is unbeatable - graded three cuts above USDA Prime, Mishima beef is uniquely flavorful and higher in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids while being lower in saturated fat than any other beef on the market.

Another must-try item at Jimmy's is their signature Fried Chicken made with all-natural free-range California birds. And as a member of 'SeaWatch', they only serve species of seafood and shellfish that are on the approved list.

Overall, Jimmy's Famous American Tavern offers a unique dining experience that combines classic American comfort food with artisanal cooking techniques and high-quality ingredients. It's no wonder why this restaurant has become a favorite among locals and visitors alike in San Diego.
