I love Jungle Jim's food. I always have. I like that they have updated their drink menu. I love the Blue Raspberry Margarita!! One thing that I do not like is the "Barbie's deep fryer" size of fries. They should get rid of it because all you get is burnt crumbs.

Overall, the food was good but not great. The shrimp that was served as part of a seafood dish was very overcooked and bland. I could not eat them. The service was excellent, and our server was attentive and fast.

Greeted with a smile. The server was attentive to our needs and even refilled our ice tea before our glasses were empty. Food was brought out quickly and was absolutely delicious. I always like their food but today it was next level. We couldn't ask for better service or food. Looking forward to eating there next time.

Like Applebees or TGIF, it’s average food, made very mediocrely. Not good, not bad, just something to fill you up. Majority of the items are anything that can be fried or warmed up in a steamer. Try the fajita chicken, very tasty. Avoid the pasta and potato skins. Service was slow.

★★★★★

Jungle Jim's.. I can't say enough good things to do this restaurant justice. Every time we visit Newfoundland, Jungle Jim's is top of my list of places to eat at. The kitchen and bathroom sinks are such a delightful variety of appetizers and the presentation of them is equally amazing. 10/10 everytime!

★★★★★

A restaurant built to look old, shabby and jungle-like, hence the name. The food is all great and a lot of alcoholic drinks have non-alcoholic accommodations. Food is reasonably priced, even for big portions. Kind staff as well.

We are repeated eaters here at Jungle Jim’s. (This is our 6th or 7th time here.) Among some stuff we absolutely love here are the ribs and steak, Jungle Trio, honey garlic chicken, fish and chips and coleslaw salad. Their food is always fresh, flavourful and perfectly cooked. Their servers are amazing too. Lovely ambiance, great food and beautiful humans! So this place is highly recommended!

Poor service, never brought out the right order , once we got our meals the server never asked us if we wanted more drinks or to even check to see if our meals were satisfactory. He wasnt friendly. This is the second time I tried this location and both times the service was poor. Customer service people....this is what makes people come back!!

Asked to be seated on the patio, which the hostess did, then forgot about us . Sitting for 20 minutes waiting for someone to bring us menus. We left from the outside patio exit and I doubt they even missed us. Theres a $100 or more in sales you missed out on because of a incompetent hostess.

This time was much better than my last visit! I tried the fish & chips. I would try this again Our server was excellent, very much a people person, polite and timely on her check ins. Kid-friendliness: Kids menu had a good variety. Fun drinks & coloring options to keep them busy! Also a treasure chest to pick a toy from.

I and 2 of my co-workers go to your location once and sometimes twice a month. We really enjoy a good meal and great service.. I always order Spudmania (when it is on the menu). The last 2 times I had It, something was different. Have you changed the vegetables or sauce? If so, can you go back to the old recipe?. It tasted a whole lot better than the new one. Thanks and we will be there on Wed for wing Night and of course Spudmania. .

The food never seems to be cooked right. Ate there on Feb 22nd/24 and had food poisoning. The sour cream tasted off and the chicken seemed under cooked but I was wiped out for the whole next day. The restaurant is nice and the service is great but I won t be going back.

★★

I had the Linguine Alfredo. The only thing Alfredo about the sauce was the colour. It was the most bland sauce Ive ever had. Totally tasteless. The only saving grace was the parmesan cheese sprinkled on top...at least that gave it a hint of flavour.

The server I had was very good. The other was kinda rude in a way. She looked very crooked and never smiled once. Very horrible, I was uncomfortable just being in her presence .The food was a kitchen sink it just wasnt my thing. I normally like wings or steak.

Had a horrible time. We asked them to call us when a booth became available and while they did call to let us know, we weren t seated in a booth. Music was too loud for conversation and the waitress took my fries from me when there was a third of them left and I literally had a fry in my hand

My first time in Jungle Jims since I moved here in NL. I had a good time the best food I ever tasted so far here in the St Johns area. My co-workers always go on a date once in a week and have told me many times about Jungle Jims and I went with them this time and that expectation based on what I heard about the resto never fails me. The food was served at the right time not too long and quick it was just perfect. The waitress was very kind and lovely, I didnt get her name but shes the same waitress that serves my colleagues all the time. The food is so delicious, it was a big meal for one and I cant believe that I finished it, thats how tasty the food is. Definitely highly recommended.

One of the better jungle jims Ive visited. Food is usually very quick, hot and fresh. The price point makes it a great place to go for a lunch date. They also were very helpful on good Friday as all fish places were booked however they made a surprisingly delicious fish and chips at a good price with very little wait, my go to location in town when wanting jungle jims

The portions are not generous by any means, but decent. The waitress was very nice and friendly. The place was clean and we were served in a timely manner if not even fast. The food was delicious. Gravy seemed too simple, like from a bulk powder mix. I was not impressed with that aspect.

Me and my 3 children went there on 23 of April for dinner.the service was hospital but I the quality of the food was not as usual. As soon as I expressed my concern about the food quality both my serving waiters Reta and the branch supervisor at this time Mike acted up on spot in a smart way that made me regain trust in the dinner and gave me and my children very generous courtesy gifts that make us all leave happy. Dietary restrictions: They were so keen in serving the meals that accommodates my dietary restrictions Kid-friendliness: They made my 5 year old feel comfortable and happy

I always enjoyed Jungle Jims. I have been away from Newfoundland for a few years and only recently had the opportunity to go to Jungle Jims again. I have to admit, time has not been kind to them. Were I writing this 10 years ago, the food would be rated 4/5, but now it is 3/5. The portions have shrunk dramatically, about 3/4s what they were, while prices have risen along with every other restaurant. Also, the food is nice tasting, but used to be great tasting. Its too bad, this often happens to businesses as they age, but its still sad to see it happen to Jungle Jims.

She checked and gave us extra for the delay! We really appreciate her dedication and patience with the kitchen and us! Thank you so much Sue!! P.s. there was a lovely employee off shift sitting at the bar. She made for great conversation and friendly face! We did not get her name but I wanted to mention her as well, because she did make our experience all that much better while waiting!

Over the past several years JJs has always been a solid last minute pick. As per usual the staff and food delivers but I cant help but notice how the menu prices keep rising and the portion sizes lowering. Exspecially in regards to the desert menu. I will however always return for their Bbqd taquitos they are to delicious to turn down.

Jungle Jims is a family friendly sports bar franchise with a Jungle Theme. They usually have a large aquarium in the main area. The jungle theme is mostly conveyed thru bamboo and frond leaves, but there is some generic tribal mask imagery as well. The food portions are large, and there are several dishes meant to be shared, such as the Kitchen Sink, which is served in a sink. The food is classic American Fried but well executed. The bar is extensive with lots of mixed drinks. One of the few places that mix kids, sports and a good bar, without really compromising.

I ve enjoyed it so much that I ve considered buying a second steak meal after finishing my first one. Unbelievable how impressed we have been by their steak! Served by Stacey tonight and she is by far our fav waitress here - fun, polite, professional and attentive. Amazing job everyone! We will be here every week if you continue to do such a phenomenal job! Thank you.
