Jimmy's Killer Prawns in Manchester

The food was amazing, great prawns and even better rice and fries. Our server Srikanth was also so nice and helpful.

Had the seafood boil for two and went with the medium spice level—it was flavorful and didn’t need any extra sauce. The seafood was tasty and good portion for two girls, though it took some effort to de-shell everything. Overall, a delicious meal and a fun dining experience!

Amazing food and great service. I shared the Jimmy's seafood boil for two with my partner and it had lobster tails, crab, prawns, potatoes and egg in a lovely buttery sauce. You can choose a mild, medium or spicy sauce. Really tasty and great quality seafood, and very friendly staff. Would absolutely recommend.

3rd time here because the prawns are just too good, I recommend it to everyone I know!! So worth it!

Disappointed. Really over hyped. I got the Jimmys seafood boil with Creamy mild sauce. came out in 5 mins after ordering. Clearly pre-made. No flavour no seasoning. I can make tastier seafood in my kitchen. Looks the part but they may as well of brought it me in water.

Beautiful food, great portion sizes and attentive, friendly service by the girl with blonde hair(front streaks) despite the restaurant clearly being very full and busy! Would definitely recommend and go here again. Only downsides are no free tap water.

I loved that amazing food , so testy and so lovely people thanks a lot guys really

This was one of the best places I have ever been. Huge mountain of big prawns and the yummiest rice ever, sauces were amazing. If you like prawns this is the place to be I PROMISE. Food stayed warm for a long time too so nothing went cold. Only minor downside is there is no free water and no alcohol. I think water being free should be a must but I just like alcohol.

The seafood dishes are simply delicious. I highly recommend the spicy prawn platter and Captain Hook dish.

Really good experience, prawns were really good, people were nice especially good service from Srikanth, always wearing a gorgeous smile

THE BEST PRAWNS I HAVE EVER HAD!! Amazing food and service, very friendly staff, shout out to the manager sar, who made our experience 10/10

Had a good experience at Jimmy’s Killer Prawns, and it’s a nice spot for a group dinner. We ordered the medium spicy 70 prawns for 4, but even with just 3 of us, it wasn’t quite enough, which was a bit disappointing considering the price. I also had the mussels starter in cream and spicy tomato sauce, which were pretty decent, though overall, the restaurant is on the expensive side. That said, the service was excellent—friendly and attentive staff made the experience enjoyable. The ambiance was nice, with a comfortable setting for a relaxed meal with friends. While the food was good, the portion sizes could be more generous for the price. Still, a solid place for seafood lovers looking for a quality meal in Manchester!

Food is ok. Service could be better. First time trying and I am not likely to come back.

The place was a good place with nice atmosphere, the service was good and servers were polite and helpful, the food didnt take long either Unfortunately the food wasnt to the point we had prawns medium spice with chips, the prawns were seasoned nicely but it came with so much oil and my chips were swimming in the oil, that was not okay it should be separated. The ribs were not all that and they were very hard on the outside its like it was getting cooked for longer than intended and make the outside turn hard. Taste wise i will give it 5/10 The mosambiq beef strips with rice, that was the worst dish 2/10 the rice came mushy like a dried porridge And the meat strips were very salty due to the intense usage of say sauce The price was of course very high compared to the quality of the food. I would only recommend if you would only order the prawns and absolutely ask for them to be separated from the side dishes otherwise they will swim in oiL

I honestly love this place! The food is amazing and it is definitely worth the price, the portion sizes are filling and the whole experience is great!

Delicious food and welcoming staff

It offers a vibrant mix of flavors that elevate seafood dining to a new level. The lively atmosphere and friendly service make it a must-visit for prawn lovers!

This restaurant does not have any other outstanding points in addition to looking good, the owner and waiter of this restaurant are very fond of putting others aside, verbally promising to serve for a while, in fact, I can't see anyone for half a day, the speed of serving is OK, and the dishes can be served in 30 minutes. But this is definitely the least fresh lobster I've ever eaten in my life, all the shrimp meat is not firm at all, it is completely a long-dead shrimp, and then frozen for a long time, and a few shrimp have a very obvious smell that is masked by the seasoning. The boss was also very hard-mouthed, and after we put forward our opinions, he felt that we were looking for something and did not have the attitude to solve the problem. All in all very rubbish dining experience.

I have been a regular at Jimmys for a while and I would always rate it 4 or 5 stars. But my experience last night was unfortunately so bad. The food took so much time to come between starters and mains we waited around 40 mins. To only find that the order is missing. And what adds to it is that a waiter challenges me stating that it is my word against the other waiter which is so poor. So we wait for the rest of the order as my dad sits there watching us as he doesn't eat prawns. And because of the huge delay I get out to a parking ticket fine cause I didn't expect us to stay more than 2 hours for dinner. I love the resturant, but my experience last night will make reconsider going there ever again.

We had the loaded fries to start and then a saucy platter as well as a grilled platter. Everything tasted amazing. Looking forward to coming again to try the rest of the menu!

The food was spectacular like the service it was way too good is the best prawns I ever had with a big difference 😃😃🤤

You guys never fail, Thank you.

My favourite seafood place, food is delicious, staffs are pleasant and respectful, I would recommend it to anyone visiting Manchester.

Great service and great food. The manager Lucie does an amazing job at running this place. Will definitely be back 👍

Food was exceptional, highly recommend 👌

absolutely delicious as always

The food was very disappointing only had 6 prawns which says 8 and chips you could count in the bottom very sogy I have been to Jimmys before was ok but this delivery was stone cold and terrible after all that waiting not good at all first time in my life leaving a bad rewiev.

Excellent food as always. Service is always good, first time being serviced by Lucy today, who went the extra mile to ensure everything was OK for my dad who has throat cancer. Very attentive and professional.

I’m highly disappointed after trying this place for the first time, reason being me and my husband ordered seabass and it had an excessive amount of bones in so we couldn’t eat it and normally when I’ve ordered seabass at other restaurants it has been filleted and boneless. All I wanted was it removed off the bill or swapped for something else, and only had a bite of it, the manager came over and explained that’s how it comes and if I don’t want it there’s nothing he can do they don’t take anything off bill, I found this reply very strange so I said I didn’t want it and to remove off the table. The manager seemed like he didn’t care that we were put off and he just wanted the money at any cost. As I was eating the rest of the food I realised the rice was on the platter he removed so asked for some. Bill came and with no shock the seabass was still on even tho we hardly ate it and the other portion of rice.. Didn’t want to make more of a fuss so paid for it all and tipped but me and my partner will not visit again considering the way the manager handled the situation.

The restaurant is located in a good neighbourhood. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. I'm coming first time and supposed to be aware that they salted 🍤 a lot.That part was absolutely disappointing as I eating only 4 ,it was too much salted and I couldn't eat. Chicken breast was good .

Absolutely the best place to go for sea food it’s my go to place love it prawns are amazing very delicious and service it’s great

Whilst the service was pleasant enough the biggest disappointment came from the food. The lamb chop starter was undercooked and bland. The chops were really fatty too. The mussels starter was overcooked. Because of the name, we got a platter to share between us. The prawns were a massive disappointment!! These definitely aren’t fresh - the texture and taste was severely lacking. It’s also fairly expensive for what it is

Very Unrespectful staff. I’ve ordered what I wanted, and then I’ve wanted to order a jug of coke and it took them 20 minutes to bring it and all my appetite went. Very disappointed

We had a wonderful time; Mimia took care of us and she was so nice and helpful; a great family night with the kids

Went to Jimmy Killer in Manchester, and the seafood was really good, Alhamdulilah! The mussels with garlic bread were also great. I think they could add boiled eggs, sweetcorn, and more sauce options, but everything else I had was tasty.

Didn't order and got a very nice window seat. The food was absolutely convincing and the filled fries are highly recommended. Afterwards we were even called a taxi. Very, very nice restaurant

Everyone is so welcoming at jimmys. The food is so delicious and so well seasoned. Our waitress was so sweet. Thank you!!

Ordered the captains hook and seafood boil. I thoroughly enjoyed the grilled cod, prawns. The servers were very friendly.

Wow amazing place food was amazing staff was amazing.need one of these in wales

Absolutely amazing food....delicious and certainly going to eat there again 😋

Absolute disappointment having drove 200 miles to eat their 50 prawn deal which is advertised on specific days. I arrived on the specified days having checked their social media for any posts. All clear, arrived and they said “they are not doing the deal today”. I’m sorry but you can’t just decide that without notifying customers prior to this. It is a scam. The same deal if you want, they are charging £25 extra. Manager is very unhelpful, doesn’t care for customers and has a very bad attitude. Terrible! Terrible service. Not worth it. Best try elsewhere.

A Manchester establishment that I somehow hadn't managed to try until this point. Our first time but we were treated as welcomed regulars. Quite extensive menu and very good vibes in the evening. Me and my friend ordered starters, including lamb chops (3 in a portion), pasta and delightful crabs for mains, and a jug of flavored lemonade. Many thanks to Niko for his suggestions, demonstration on how to eat the crab, and the overall feeling of being treated by family members. Can’t wait to come back and try a platter of the jaw-dropping prawns. That kind of celestial food and friendly-professional customer service will keep you coming back repeatedly, simply excellent!

Service perfect Food came within 5 mins Sri was great Food came as ordered and tasted fantastic Building + facilities was clean

It’s a nice place to eat. Srikanth was very helpful and patient with my friend and me. He assisted us in choosing our food and offered good advice.

Crab, salmon and shrimp all tasted the same. Even the chips had the same spices. Salmon did not taste good

Kyra was attentive and friendly. Nothing to complain about...I keep coming back here on each trip to Manchester from Essex .

Very good service from Srikanth and amazing food!!!

Great service from Shrikanth, the prawn platter for 2 was delicious

I recently visited Jimmy's Killer Prawns and was thoroughly impressed. The food was absolutely delicious—each dish bursting with flavor and prepared to perfection. We were particularly blown away by the excellent service provided by Srikanth, who went above and beyond to make our dining experience enjoyable. Srikanth was attentive, friendly, and ensured everything was just right for us. His professionalism and warm demeanor made the meal even more memorable. If you're looking for great seafood and exceptional service, Jimmy's Killer Prawns is the place to go. Highly recommended!

had an awesome time and great service from sriknath

Had a nice meal and thanks to sriknatho

Staff were very welcoming and helped us with our request. Gave us variety options of their finest food on the menu. Srikanth was also very friendly and helpful. He gave us tips of which ones to try next time we come back. ACE TEAM!

Great service from Srikanth. Steak was awesome prawns were amazing. You get gloves so your hands don’t get icky. All n all great value for money. Left feeling full and happy.

Delicious food and friendly staff

The food was spectacular!!! We had ordered the Killer Prawns (World Famous Killer Prawns) Platter for 1 with a side (we chose chips) and Grilled Salmon, which came with rice and grilled vegetables, as well as a Passion Mojito. They were absolutely delicious! We thought we wouldn't finish them, as the portions were big, but from the first bite we dove straight in! They provided plastic gloves and bibs (if we needed) to help with removing the prawn shells, which was really helpful. The staff were really friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere was lovely, calm and soothing, not too loud or too quiet. It was lovely and relaxing. And as an incredible bonus, they have a prayer room, which is really helpful! I would definitely come here again, I love seafood! It was the most delicious and comfortable birthday meal. Thank you!!!

I didn't buy a very ordinary seafood bucket with Optzer, the quantity is small for the price, but overall it's worth a try.

Srikandh has been excellent, food wasn't spicy enough and he brought us the special spicy sauce from the kitchen! We're regulars and we cannot recommend prawn platters enough!

I come into jimmys all the time basically every week and have been going for 2 years and every time I go in Kyra and adi always look after me and are very hard working.

Me and my partner love it here, food is unreal, Kyra was our waitress and gave us amazing service, 5 stars!

Absolutely one of the best prawns in MCR hands down! And Srikanth was so so helpful! If you go there; just take his advice please he’ll arrange the best possible combo for you

Delicious taste , fresh and big portions. Excellent hospitality by Srikanth. Thanks

Never seen that amount of prawns in a platter my whole life … tasty, juicy and freshly presented

Had the spicy Prawn Boil for One. It was pretty spicy, but not unbearable. It was delicious and the portion was pretty big.

Can't rate it for food because we didn't stay. Such a shame, because we were looking forward to the seafood. They don't serve alcohol, so we went elsewhere. We were on a night out for a nice meal with wine followed by the theatre, so we decided not to stay. Didn't like the seating arrangements much either - cheap bench-style tables.

Loved the heap of prawns and it was really yummy

I would give four stars if it was in other country, but considering here’s the UK, it’s good enough. Wish the boiling seafood was less sweet

prawn gone bad, strong urine smell and the owner refused to change and told us that was prawn supposed to smell. I have been to this restaurant twice and ordered exactly same dish cuz I really loved it, I never had similar issues before. I feel very disappointed how they responded to me and told me that I still needed to pay. All I want is to change to a fresh prawn dish. I would never come back again. I am concerning about their food quality.

Jimmy's Killer Prawns offers a mix of positives and drawbacks. Starting with the positives, the food is delicious, delivering on taste and quality. Despite its affordability, the flavors are rich and satisfying, making it a great value for money. However, where Jimmy's falls short is in its service speed; i experienced long wait times during peak hours. Additionally, the lack of on-site parking can be inconvenient. Overall, if you're patient and looking for tasty food at a reasonable price, Jimmy's Killer Prawns is worth a visit.

Kasmiri prawns was amazing! So tasteful

I have been there few time’s ! The food always spot on . But the staff not with it sometimes !

Very good atmosphere,had my anniversary dinner here..staff was very friendly, service was prompt... love it will visit again..children welcome

Been here a few times and the standard platter has been spot on but recently went and the standard prawns are smaller and hardly any sauce on the spicy version, they looked more like the original. Left hungry and got a top meal after elsewhere after leaving. Plus my friend got charged twice. I know lots of food places are cutting corners to save cost but didn't think Jimmy's would compromise on their quality.i would return only if the standard prawns went back to normal size and they stopped scrimping on the marinade.

An interesting concept for a seafood restaurant / diner with plenty of options for every enthusiast of shrimps and prawns. The place is a part of the larger multinational chain, but offers a very decent diner like informal atmosphere. A gem in the city centre of Manchester.

Gran comida y un excelente servicio por Srikanth. Bandeja millonaria es fantástico junto con la bandeja para tres. Vendría de nuevo

Nuestro servidor Srikanth era increíble, darle un aumento, hacerle gerente, sólo vender la tienda a él. Tyttttttttttgttggtghjrbjdhcjejdjj esto es para alcanzar el límite de 100 letras

Adel served us very well 🙏🏻 I like the food of course will come again

I’ve been going to Jimmys for years now and recently it’s just been going downhill. We got the Thursday deal of 50 prawns and they were either overcooked or really poor quality. The prawns were really soft like mash texture half of them had to be thrown and had a bitter taste. We tried complaining and the manager refused to listen and instead argued back stating the prawns are good quality and that there’s nothing wrong with them as if we were lying. I genuinely love going to jimmys, but it’s frustrating when the customer service is poor. After eating the food, our tummy hurts and I’ve not been able to stomach anything for two days.

Me and my family come visit on a regular basis, at least twice a month. The experience we had with the manager yesterday was awful. We explained the prawns weren’t how they usually were and were mushy and overcooked. Instead of coming to a solution the manager instead kept contradicting us and saying they’re fine and that’s how they’re meant to be. Everyone in my family who had the prawns yesterday all got an upset stomach and it just shows the prawns weren’t good. I called today to complain and the same manager lied saying she asked if we wanted them replaced yesterday and we declined. Which definitely didn’t happen. Please work on your customer service skills and food quality please.

Food was good, although I preferred a bit more seasoning on the prawns and rice. The experience eating the prawns was messy and fun! Atmosphere was good. Recommend the experience.

Serves seafood 10/10, very delicious

🦐Dinner ends with a seafood-style restaurant. Shrimp buckets like those from Thailand, like Jimmy's Killer Prawns Manchester. Delicious prawns. The sauce is considered delicious like in the UK.

Si quieres gambas jimmy’s es el lugar correcto gambas de buena calidad de buen tamaño demasiado bien cocinado recogiendo a la parrilla o frito menú interesante algo para todos el servicio era excelente personal amable no hay problemas

Very tasty food its a bit messy but great if you like getting stuck in. You get an apron and disposable gloves as the food can be a bit spicy and you wouldnt want stains on your clothes. The seating is basic but if there keeping it clean then its practical. The staff were quick with our food and explained the different meals to us. Theres NO Alcohol in the resteraunt, all the beers are alcohol free which is not a problem and keeps the bill price down I suppose. Definitely worth a visit to try this great food.

"People are very nice, food is VERY good, super quick." Freddy Aged 8. Jokes aside always fantastic food and service. A must visit.

Straight 10, service, staff, food, portions. A must for any lover of prawns. I'm coming back soon

Food was exceptional, service is very good

I heard mixed reviews but I must say I personally am a seafood lover and I loved the food here. We ordered the 50 prawn platters in spicy and one in extra spicy. Both tasted delicious and perfectly cooked. I preferred the spicy one the extra was too much of a kick for me. The ribs were amazing the bbq taste wasn't overwhelming. We also tried most of the starters, all were decent. Atmosphere was casual which was fine. Very clean. Tables a bit close to each other but can't always be helped I guess. Staff were all very friendly and smiley which I love. Menu was nice. Bit on the pricey side but expected with sea food so maybe try and go on Tuesday or Thursday for a bit of discount. Family friendly. Halal and allergy aware. I didn't see a kids menu so mine mainly had starters unfortunately. Parking on road but lower down from the restaurant so might need to walk a little and cost a few pounds if you go before 8pm but we all managed to get parking for 3 cars so no issues x

Visitado durante el almuerzo la oferta del día montaña de gambas era genial. David sugirió que los mejores entrantes que los anillos de calamares y las gambas dinamita eran increíbles deben probar. David era educado y muy comunicativo sobre el menú.

La comida era fantástica y el servicio es genial. Srikanth es muy servicial porque es nuestra primera vez en la tienda que ha explicado completamente el menú y nos ayudan a ordenar

Starting things off - food was beautiful. We had the platter of prawns for 4 and the deep fried squid. Again the food was stunning and flavourful. The let down was the service. It was brutally poor. No one smiled or acknowledged us and when they did get the drinks they couldn’t be less bothered. Nothing. And I have been in hospitality for 16 years. I would not be letting my teams get away with this. I also used the loo at the end and the chap who greeted us on entry, I actually held the door open for him after he didn’t wash his hands and went back to work. Amazing. Food - immense Service - none Also I was going to tip on the machine but the lady who took payment just bypassed it before I paid. Amazing!

Good food, good atmosphere, friendly staff. I would enjoy a glass of wine with fish but they don't sells alcohol unfortunately, this is why I gave 4 stars only.

When I go to a restaurant, it needs to calming and one should be able to eat peacefully. The music was constant and far too loud. Not necessary. It is a restaurant, not a night club.

Early start so not that lively. Exceptional food

Food was amazing top notch. However service was a little slow even though the place was not crowded. Took them about 20 minutes after seating me to take my order but once ordered food was fast to arrive. The other thing is the girls next to my table were arguing really really really loud! To the point i thought they will start fighting! It was very annoying and everyone in the restaurant weren’t comfortable and were talking about how absurd this is. No body of the staff tried to hush them down or even ask them to leave!! I had to take 45 minutes of screaming and unfortunately I didn’t have my AirPods on me. They ruined my experience but I blame the manager for not acting on it.

They served our dishes to the wrong table and after they realised they gave us a lobster filled with cheese 🤮🤮🤮 Bad attitude and worst costumer service ever.

Food was.. OK. It was reasonably tasty, and the prawns weren't overcooked. We got the 50 prawn platter, so didn't try a huge range of things. It was a decent amount of food between the 2 of us, but not too filling, expected the prawns to be slightly bigger. We ordered a sticky toffee pudding for dessert and it very much did not deliver. It felt more like a light sponge that had been soaked in a toffee sauce. When you order a sticky toffee pudding, you expect it to be quite dense, with a sticky sauce that makes it almost slightly chewy. We didn't get that at all. The dessert was poor, and what drags the overall rating down. Prawns were 4/5, pudding was 0/5 really.

Loved my time there, David was very helpful and prompt with the orders. We will come back soon !

First time here and it was perfect more than as I expected we have been served by Srikanth great guy very clear and straight forward

I enjoyed my ordered. Hopefully, next time more Lemon to put on. Just don't overcooked next time but the taste is good.

I've been coming to Jimmy’s Killer Prawns for several years now, and it has consistently been an outstanding experience. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Whether it's the prawns, seafood platters, or any of their other dishes, everything is cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every visit is memorable. I often forget to take photos, but here are some pictures from two years ago to show how amazing the food looks! Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves great seafood and a welcoming environment. I’ll definitely be coming back for many more years!
