Home  Boating  Restaurants & Services  Jimmy Mac's

The best thing going for Jimmy Mac's is that is is close to the water and you can usually get a seat outside. The bar is almost always full and busy. Solid, comfy chairs cover the deck; there's also ample indoor seating and plenty of wilted hanging plants. Rock music provides a background beat.

It seems every kind of burger -- from Cajun to Hong Kong-style -- lives on this menu. The Minnesota Fats, a chubby prime meat charbroil topped with mushroom gravy, sour cream and sauteed onions, is a big winner. But so are the other menu items, like the Captain McPlatter -- fried shrimp, scallops, oyster and grouper. Stomach willing, top this off with a slice of peanut butter pie.

Getting there and getting tied up is half the fun. Jimmy Mac's is right behind / beside Imperial Marine. Once you get into the channel, it is almost all an no wake zone. Once you get to Imperial Marine you can tie up on the wall or take one of the 2 reserved guest slips on starboard side as you pull up.

You might want to also take the opportunity to fill up while you are there. Imperial has about the best fuel prices around.
