I ordered the grilled Moreton Bay bugs with prawns and calamari. It came with a garlic cream sauce, chips and salad. Delicious! My friend had the vegetables, tofu and rice which she said was very good. For dessert we had tiramisu and chocolate mouse cake. Everything was delicious. The service was ok, staff need to be more friendly and professional.
Great vibes, lively place and easy location.
Went there for few drinks and nibbles. Staff was amazing and welcoming.
A perfect place to be on a sunny day or when you are tired after shopping.
Very close to public transport.
Thanks for good time :)
Cheers
The prawn pizza was amazing and tangy-spicy...staff were friendly and d helpful.
Will def come here again
Been to this places several times! Loving the live music here, first time trying the seafood menu. The pizza tastes good!
Great smiles people. The restaurant is very clean and nice to seat and having food or drink with family or friend and watch sports. Thank you.
I was greated with a smile by a nice waitress.
I ordered the salmon. It was very well cooked, with crispy skin. The Asian salad it came with was decent although not too chilly, which I liked.
It is a bit in the pricy side, but i overall, I enjoyed it.
The food is great. We ordered the crispy chicken and the pad thai. The pad thai lack taste. The crispy chicken is perfect. The place is great.
Jimmy’s is a great place to meet friends for a casual meal (you order your drinks & meals at the bar). Their starters (arancini balls) & salads (lemongrass beef) are fantastic and they have a huge drinks menu. It’s not air conditioned upstairs, but there is usually a nice breeze to keep you cool.
Dropped by after dinner for coffee and cake and I’m glad we did. The apple crumble was amazing and the chocolate cake moist and smooth. Will be back!
Came here as a surprise for my birthday and had the chicken katso burger. It was delicious! Wasn’t expecting that. This place has really got it going on in terms of view. I’ll be keen to pop back
Dined here on Saturday night and ordered a cheesy garlic bread for entree and the chargrilled bugs with chips and Turkish salad for main to share. The cheesy garlic bread was mediocre, the bread hadn’t been toasted for long enough and tasted quite bland. The char grilled bugs was served with 3 bugs, king prawns, calamari, chips and a Turkish salad with a creamy garlic sauce. The dish ($52) was quite large for 1 person but not quite enough for 2 people. Overall the atmosphere is nice and the prices of the dishes reflect more the atmosphere and location. Overall we were satisfied with the meals as they were tasty but not great value for money.
Such a great place!! Have been here heaps of times and never disappoints. Highly recommend coming here for a great variety of food that everyone can enjoy. Had their pad thai and it is the best pad thai I have ever tasted.
Great food with a few new menu items. Beef salad was very tasty and just the right size...my son had the lamb burger who said was fantastic. Staff were very attentive and kept an eye on us asking if needed anything else.
I love their greens decor in front of the restaurant.. came here for having brunch with whole family and they love it!! All the food was great.. the coffee was ok. I had to pay extra $1 for Soy Capp 😌The expensive one ever!!!
Dont miss out this place if ur at Adelaide street of Brisbane qld .
The place is surrounded by good crowd and road shows happening.
Quite entertaining place.
I ordered Liitle Creatures pale ale - Dark and nice in taste .
Cheesy Garlic bread - Made perfectly with nice amount of stuffed chesse.
Service wise could improve little bit.
food came on time.
over all a great time spent .
Will surely come again and again
cheers
The place locates in just a perfect place - the middle of the shopping street in CBD, so it is easy to find. It is lucky that we could have a table in the upper deck, which is half-outdoor and suitable during such warm winter in Brisbane.
I quite like the sundae that I ordered, which is served in a surprising style. The combination of cream, ice-cream and fruits tasted nice, but just super sweet. You may like it if you are a dessert girl like me. It is big plate so remember to share it between two or more people.
They advertised their bar menu and live music a lot, so maybe can take a try if you are interested.
A Friday evening catch up with two friends. We head up to top level and grab a table so we can look out over the Mall. A glass of semillion each while we check the menu. We order proseco and food at the bar. Fries , arancini with porcini, calamari... food was brought to our table quickly. Meals were tasty and delicious with our Friday night drinks. Pizzas and mains on offer including steaks, noodles, swordfish etc.
Great food taste too much quantity very big main dishe which enough for 2ppl lovely staff the only one thing I dislike was the seat chair which was not comfortable and too crowded with narrow passage in between.. but still recommend
Jad the crispy skin chicken. Was delicious perfectly cooked not dry, lots of yummy sauce. Friend had pad Thai which was also amazing. Good service. Great atmosphere, singer was the best we've seen. We will be back
We got a table on the rooftop and it was such a nice atmosphere and beautiful decor. I was pleasantly surprised that they offered 2 sizes of wine. I ordered a steak from the lower level menu and it was no problems. Cooked a perfect medium with the most delicious mushroom gravy. I thoroughly enjoyed the night.
Been here on Christmas Day for early breakfast with three other people.
We ordered pancakes, eggs bene and eggs with avocado on toast.
The food was amazing and very fulfilling. Pancakes came with fresh berries that balanced out the sweetness of the syrup. The eggs bene was massive with smoked salmon.
Service was great as we were the first customer. Nothing to fault :)
Is there a better location for lunch/early dinner in Brisbane's cbd shopping district. On a hot summers day you can sit on the top deck, have an ice cold beer from a very good selection and some food, watch the 'world go by' and the breeze coming down Queens St is beautiful. It's a very busy place as you'd expect with this location and having been a few times recently I've noticed an improvement in the food from when it was first re-opened. At the end of the day it's very good for what it is and while there a few bad reviews on this thread for the actual food, I've always really enjoyed what I've had so I cant really fault it....
The breakfast in this restaurant is fantastic!
I like their sourdough toast with smashed avocado, they taste fresh. Thus, the hot chocolate was quite good with some milk froth on top. The staff members were friendly and the speed of food delivery was really fast.
I actually tried their restaurant during nighttime, but the food was not satisfying. Although the view of the Queens St Mall was quite nice, but it did not cove the flaw of the food quality and lack of food choice.
Therefore, I recommend to visit this restaurant during breakfast time instead of nighttime. Also, just to prepare that the restaurant is actually a bit expensive than usual may be because of its location.
Reasonable food, quick service on a quiet Sunday night.
Ordered the bugs and seafood. Acceptably cooked bugs with a few slightly over, delicious prawns and tender squid. Sauce was not bad and quite sticky.
Worth a visit if late at night in Brisbane.
always a busy place. the pumpkin 3 cheeses lasagne is honestly so filling, delicious and overall the best lasagne you'll ever taste! only disappointment is how you always have to order a main meal :/
Jimmy's is a must go when you're in the CBD.. Basically, it's the only double story restaurant in the middle of the city when you walk around. Don't overestimate its food prices or underestimate its quality. Maybe that shows how much I enjoy it here making me coming back again, but this time, we brought my parents' friend from overseas here to dine...
I have been here a few times now. It's good but not great. The downstairs seating is comfortable enough. I was pleased with our food. The flavour was all there but value for money isn't a massive feature. Although the city ambience is worth it. I love sitting upstairs and people watching. It's a great place to grab a drink and catch up with friends.
Live music, cold beer and amazing pizza, what more could you want?! Fresh, full of flavour and a good size if you want to share, which i didn't. Get your own! This is too good to share.
Give it a shot yourself and find out. If you don't like it tell the bar staff.
Food was cooked to perfection and atmosphere was great! Staff friendly and the food represents excellent value for money.
Will definitely return! 24x7 makes it very convenient as well!!!
I've only been here twice around the same time and I have loved it. Good location, friendly staff, and fun atmosphere. The food was nice and the proportion size is great. V into it
Jimmy's has always been one of the go to places whenever you're unsure of where to go to eat or drink in the city, you just somehow end up here. Remember that the lower deck and the upper deck both have their own menus so they may differ in terms of what dishes are on offer. Some of the dishes however are offered on both decks. There are more seatings downstairs than upstairs but if you would like to have a view of the centre of Queen St Mall, then I'd suggest you sit upstairs. There are both normal and high tables available, as well as tables around the bar area. As it was late afternoon when we arrived, we just wanted somewhere to rest our feet and maybe have a drink and a nibble..
Food was very nicely presented and cooked. Went on a Friday night when it was a full house, the service was up to par for the night and so was the food.
Good place for a cold beer and a meal for a barmy night in Brisbane. Went for the pad Thai. All in all pretty good. Ironically, in presenting it so nicely, all the ingredients didn't infuse with one another. The tastiest pad Thai needn't look pretty - just bind it all together! Meal was provided quickly, good live music, and good spot for people watching in central Brisbane.
Lovely staff with beautiful smiles
Absolutely stunning place and awesome atmosphere!
Thanks for the drinks and ill be sure to be back soon :)
Went to Jimmy's with very low expectations as the ratings and reviews weren't great about it. Went with a few colleagues on a sunny friday afternoon for lunch. We sat upstairs, chatting and watching people pass by Queen's street. We had the pulled pork roll, a burguer, pad thai and a pizza. Everything was delicious!!! It's just annoying to have to order at the bar, but the staff were friendly and the food actually came faster than we expected.
Food is good. Seafood of the day tasted interesting and beef was wonderful. Service was critical. Waitress ignored us even if they were not busy.
Staff friendly and the order was taken accordingly, i got "Pad Thai" and sparkling water ...my order was brought very fast and the food was hot and very big . I got a bit scared from what reviews they got , but i think they can regain trust from their customers if they keep it up.
Wow what a renovation! From being 13 coming here to now in my 30's it was great to see a Brisbane institution still in business. Staff were a bit dusty as we had a pram and clearly couldn't get through the crowd but if you have a pram book the front table on entering. The upstairs area is great for a few drinks - music is fairly loud and the cocktails are great. I had a pulled beef roll and hubby had the burger - huge portions and really fresh and tasty. All the staff seemed to be foreign though and English lacked on a few but we loved the casual QLD Vibe here. Good place to see still in business!
I don't mind getting along to Jimmy's for some cheeky din dins and an even cheekier beverage, especially after work or before the real night begins. They've stepped up their game food-wise over the past couple of months, and overall I think they do a pretty decent job in terms of service, considering the bevvy of casual drinkers constantly coming and going to the most central establishment in the Queen Street Mall. I always enjoy the rib eye served with chips and veggies, and the bar staff are very friendly.
Great spot in the middle of the mall. Lovely open and clean venue with an interesting breakfast menu, its not going to blow the world apart in innovation but was beautifully executed and delicious. Had the crab cake breakfast with lovely 'golf ball' soft poached eggs. Also wonderful to see they are disability access friendly too! $20 for a tasty and filling quality breakfast with friendly service you can't be disappointed.
Went for breakfast with friends this morning and couldn't fault a thing. The coffee, food and service was fantastic. I had read the previous comments and wasn't keen on the place but was pleasantly surprised
We had a margarita pizza and chips. The chips were nothing exciting but the pizza was beautiful. One of the best we have had outside of Italy. Great spot to have wine and some food and watch the world go by.
Eggs Benedict - Smoked Salmon. Could have been better with more hollandaise
Loved it!. Great food and service, the place has just been renovated and looks and feels fantastic. My wife and I dined there for lunch and the staff were very friendly and attentive and the food was very good and well presented. The designers have done a great job with the decor creating a classy but contemporary fit out with great attention to detail from the staff uniforms to the cutlery. The place seems to be very well managed and we would highly recommend dining there, can't wait for the next visit
Lovely chicken cashew salad. Would come back for! Cute staff too ;)

Delicious Spicey Lamb Salad. Arrived in Brisbane late and came across Jimmy's on the Mall. Being after 9pm I asked the waitress whether it was too late to order and she informed me that this was a 24/7 restaurant - bonus - wish Perth had a place like this!
Being alone and new to Brisbane was not a problem, I felt completely at ease with the relaxed vibe on this balmy evening and looked after by my waiter Timothy (although the eve became busier). As it was late I opted for a light meal, which turned out to be a perfect choice. The well presented spicey lamb salad was fresh and the combination of flavors were perfectly balanced i.e. juicy plentiful lamb; roasted pumpkin; quinoa; sultanas; beetroot; burghul; creamy feta; black olives; red onion and mixed leaves....Ahh ABSOLUTE BLISS washed down with a glass of Charles Merton Shiraz from Barossa Valley and then later on a velvety hot chocolate to finish off my first evening in Brisbane - I was a very happy customer. Total cost $41.50.
Would definitely come back again, might try brekky!
Good food and good service. Nice place to eat whilst travelling for work
Fantastic!! We stopped by for lunch on a busy Saturday afternoon and decided to try the 2 bug specials. I had the chilli bugs and my wife had the grilled bugs. The servings were very generous and both were cooked perfectly. I couldn't get enough of the chilli sauce. Spicy but not too hot. The only thing we could pick was that there were no prices on the specials. Each special cost about $45 ( probably why it's not advertised) but definatley worth a try. Expensive but good. A winner for those wanting great seafood.
$$$$ on the Mall. I have always liked this place. It is pricy, but you expect that for sitting in the most expensive real estate. Great place to people watch, and great place to meet.
Three words: moreton bay bugs! Best bugs I've had for a very long time and that garlic butter works a charm. We've always walked past Jimmy's when we're in the mall and I'm really pleased we finally stopped in for a bite. The service was friendly and polite and it's a great spot for people watching. We'll be back,
Late night goodness. My wife and i were attending a work function in the city. After after a few nibbles and quite a bit of wine, we were STARVING at 12:30 at night we didn't feel like hungry jacks or pie face, so off to jimmys we went. Glad we did, i had the most tender piece of streak i had had in a while and massive!! Giant rump....not wrong!
My wife had sizzling garlic prawns, again, not wrong, those babies were sizzling. I felt sorry for the poor waitress who brought them out! But she did so with a smile, and continued to smile until we left at 1am.
Over all a great place friendly smiling staff and tasty huge meals. Next time i am stumbling down the mall late at night I'll be sure to stop in for a feed.
I should go shopping more often. The wife and I went into the city last weekend on way to pick up friends from the airport. The Mrs wanted to go shopping and when we got to the Queen Street Mall it was very warm so we stopped in at Jimmys for a cold one...... and then another .....I was getting quite settled and with it being in the centre of the Mall the Mrs was able to pop off and shop while I stayed on. We had a couple of staff attending to us and they were so friendly and recommended the seafood special done in chilli sauce... It was one of the nicest meals I have ever had......the seafood was cooked to perfection and really fresh, I ended up parking there for quite a while and not once was I made to feel unwelcome, even when they got quite busy. I will definately be back .....
I LOVE EGGS BENE!. If there is one thing i love to do on the weekends its go out for breaky...and eat eggs beneditct. I was in brisbane yesterday for business, and my collegues and i chose Jimmys on the Mall. It was a hot day and we were enticed by the fans, they sprayed a cooling mist, what a great idea!!!
Any way im getting off track. The eggs benidict here are divine!! Beautiful sauce, and not too much of it...not sure if this is a good or bad thing. I always orfder potato rosti with my eggs bene, and it comes with it at Jimmys on the mall which is awsome.
Coffee was great, so creamy, and was served quicky, great considering how busy the stafff were. The staff were welcoming and friendly.
Over all a great place, I cant wait to go to brisbane again so i can eat Jimmy's eggs benidict. Maybe next time ill try the salmon option.
The service was fantastic, the food was lovely, will definitely be coming back again.

I don't like grumbling about Brisbane, but there is one thing that often gets brought up and I find myself nodding in agreement- if you want a late dinner, everywhere seems closed. This is where the enduring restaurant Jimmy's on the Mall comes in, and also why it's lasted the test of time in Brisbane city when so many other restaurants haven't. Jimmy's is open 24/7. Seeing as it's been on the scene since 1982, Jimmy's On The Mall did go through a period of having an ageing exterior for awhile there. A recent spruce-up though has completely transformed this restaurant into something fun, modern and just generally a nice place to be. Being a place that’s open at 4am, it needs to cater to a lot of cravings, and that’s one thing Jimmy’s does really well- offer you a whole lot of variety. We attended another fabulously organised Eat Brisbane event here to sample a range of offerings from Jimmy’s kitchen. To kick off, we were treated to: Scallops Ceviche: Scallops in Lime, Chilli and Coconut, Spanner Crab, Avocado Puree, Shizo Slow Braised Octopus: with Pimentos de Padron, Chorizo, Saffron Aioli, Preserved Lemon I love a bit of ceviche and plating up scallops and crab is a solid and satisfying seafood combo. While the slow braised octopus and chorizo were delicious, I absolutely loved the little dollops of preserved lemon and the pimentos, which were char-grilled perfectly. They were still sweet with just a small amount of heat in them, making them easy to scoff whole. We were then served up: Mushroom and Truffle Arancini: with Porcini Puree, Parmesan, Basil Oil Caramelised Twice Cooked Pork Ribs: with Sticky Black Pepper Sauce If you love anything to do with mushrooms, these arancini have your name on them. The blend of mushrooms in the arancini balls were lifted by a hint of truffle and a mushroom power-kick from the porcini puree. I could have eaten the puree by the bowl-full! The pork ribs were sweet and sticky and all things delicious. The crunchy peanuts on top we
Some reviews here are pretty low for this establishment in the Queen Street Mall strip. I didn’t partake in any food but I very much enjoyed the mocha coffee. It’s quite the upper section they have too with a convenient bar to serve you. The location is superb and it’s a great spot to take a break from your shopping escapades. 👍😎
Came here for breakfast. Ordered Avacado on toast with ham and a drink.
Nice place in the hustle bustle of the main street. Fresh air and lot of natural light
The food arrived in a good time.
The eggs were poached very well. Just the way I like it. The portion was big and filling.
Will try this place again.
A wonderful place to eat and socialise. The staff are professional & courteous and the food is fantastic. We had Arancini Balls, Pad Thai and Nasi Goreng and could not fault any of the food whatsoever. A lovely place to relax & listen to good music.
Best breakfast I ever had. Well cooked, perfect toast and delight textures, well combined with the correct temperature. The staff was great, care and kind.
Service was very quick even though was bit busy. Im so impressed by the amount of tables in place compared to the size of the kitchen, the chefs must be a bunch of well trained soldiers ready for a big blast of hungry customers.
My congrats to everyone here, the site its an exceptional option to go anytime.
