We usually order the 50 prawns platter with chips, rice, and trio sauces. The prawns were cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The tables are spaced out nicely, and it's a family-friendly place. The waitress that served us was very good. Parking is an issue. They have a very small parking next to the restaurant but it's always full. There are side street parking or paid parking nearby. Would definitely recommend it if you're a sea food lover.
Travelled from Birmingham on a recommendation and wasn't disappointed. Food ( prawns) had a wonderful taste and cooked to perfection. All the meals were quickly served with staff happy to help out. Car parks only 6 cars but parking on main street, pay n display. Dishes were min £25, jug of soft drink £10. Plenty of space inside, a little cold though. Other food options available if you don't fancy prawns too. Fish, burgers etc.
Went to Jimmy's Killer Prawns in Leicester yesterday for the first time after friends were raving about it. Went with the 4 friends from London and the trip there was well worth it! We left at 6pm and got there for after 8pm. The food...well it was really good! The prawns were of good size and cooked spot on. The different flavours used were very good and wasn't overpowering as you can taste the actual natural taste of the prawns in amongst the flavours. We ordered the Prawn Fiesta platter where they give different types of prawns that have different flavours to them and the Saucy Prawns platter has medium sized prawns served up in their secret sauce that has a nice bit of spicy hit to it and both are served with rice and chips. They give 3 different sauces along with the food and the garlic butter sauce is the one! The food was served promptly even though the restaurant was really busy and took me by surprise when the food turned up. They give little red metal buckets to dispose of the prawns shells and ask if you want to use rubber gloves and a plastic bib, because it can get messy with all the prawns juices and Jimmy's sauces! For drinks we ordered their mocktails and from what my friends said yesterdays drinks weren't as good as last time they had the same drinks. The 5 of us finished it all off and was the perfect amount of food. The restaurant itself is of a very good size and the seating sections and booths are laid out nicely with plenty of space in and around to walk around and not feel like you're brushing past people. Very family friendly as there was families and groups coming in and the place was very busy and had a nice "noisy" atmosphere to it. Didn't have to wait to get seated. Will be making a visit with the family definitely and highly recommend it for people to make a visit if you are going up north or live nearby!
I could eat at this place every day! Their food is just so delicious and satisfying. I'm a huge fan of their prawn platters—they're simply irresistible! And let's not forget about their amazing beef tenderloin. While I'd suggest skipping the burgers, everything else on the menu is absolutely fantastic! Just make sure to plan ahead and reserve a parking spot nearby, especially on busy days or weekends. Whether you're gathering with family or meeting up with friends, Jimmy's is the perfect spot for a great meal and good times.
10/10 for customer service, 10/10 on food tastes, 10/10 on presentation of the place and overall 10/10 on everything. Team member recommended a dish and it was out of this world. I like it spicy and it was up my street. Will definitely be coming back soon and will recommend this place to everyone. Keep up the good work guys.
Amazing!!!! I’ve been to the Manchester one so being in Leicester I had to try this one too! I have to say, it didn’t let us down. We had the mountain of prawns with chips, crabs & rice, seafood paella, queen prawns & rice…and the passionfruit lemonade. Every dish was just awesome! Can’t wait to be back again!
Absolutely delicious the sauce was hot and spicy the prawns were a good size, little bit stingy on the chips which is why we had to order a second but didn’t quite get through it. Could have drank that sauce! Perfect for the family. Good value too.
The prawn platter stands out, especially the 50 prawns platter paired with chips, rice, and trio sauces. Other favorites include the paella Valenciana and Jimmy's dynamite prawns.
