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.
