New Decade, New Menu At Jimmy’s Famous American Tavern

In anticipation of the 10th anniversary of their flagship location at the Point Loma Marina, Jimmy’s Famous American Tavern is excited to announce a fresh new menu at all five Jimmy’s locations.

New Decade, New Menu At Jimmy’s Famous American Tavern

The menu revamp was developed by Culinary Director and San Diego local, Chef Nathan Coulon, who joined the Jimmy’s Famous American Tavern team last year to guide the restaurant into a new decade. With his extensive experience and relationships with local farmers and fisherman, Coulon’s new menu offers more fresh, healthful options and focuses on sustainability in the kitchen, while still delivering the classic American fare Jimmy’s is known and loved for. To complement Coulon’s modernized menu is a brand new cocktail menu created by TJ Majeske (The Pearl Hotel, OB Surf Lodge, Bankers Hill).

Menu highlights include:

Albacore Tuna Melt (Albacore, cheddar cheese, roasted ortega chile on parmesan crusted sourdough)

Charred Brussels Sprouts (topped with pecanwood smoked bacon, toasted almonds and maple syrup)

Kale Quinoa Salad (chopped organic black kale, roasted squash, parmesan, red quinoa, toasted almonds, lemon dressing)

BBQ St. Louis Style Ribs (1 or 2 lb), served with jalapeño cheddar scalloped potatoes, baked beans, coleslaw, cornbread

Tavern Bowl (brown rice, garbanzo beans, gruyere, oven dried tomatoes, radish, arugula, avocado, roasted pumpkin seeds, Sriracha dressing)

Pair your meal with one of the following standout cocktails from Majeske:

Crowd Pleaser (Ketel One, Gifford Passion Fruit Liqueur, Peychaud’s Bitters, orgeat syrup, lemon juice)

Gringo Lingo (Coconut washed Traditional Silver Tequila, Ancho Reye’s Chili Liqueur, spicy bitters, lime juice, agave, toasted coconut, Tajin rim)

For a Good Thyme Call (Nolet’s Gin, lemon juice, thyme, infused honey, walnut bitters)

The Beatnik (Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Greenbar Hibiscus Liqueur, lemon juice, blackberry puree)
