Jimmy's Killer Prawns in Manchester

Excellent Will come again. Kids loved it.

Amazing food. Jimmy’s Saucy Prawns were the best of all. Mojito average! No on-site parking so used private car park which was bit expensive.

Absolutely gorgeous food and flavours. Had the lamb chops and prawns combo. 3 lamb chops perfectly cooked. Well done but still juicy and tender, almost made me forget I’d come for the prawns which also didn’t disappoint. Gutted with myself for leaving it so long before my first visit. Service was great. And I’ll definitely be back.

I really liked it. It was delicious, atmospheric and the staff was very nice. The only thing I didn't like was that the sauces weren't served right away (but that didn't change my opinion about this place). Very nice place. I recommend it 👍

Yoself and a friend went to Jimmy's prawns on a Saturday night. I arrived after my friend and there was noone there to greet me for seating so I just walked in and found her. Noone came over to ask if we wanted drinks for 10 minutes so I called someone over, we ordered and the starter arrived quickly. After we'd finished starters (cheesy garlic ciabatta) which was lovely, the dishes weren't cleared and the main courses arrived so the waitress had to put all of the plates down and I had to hold the starter plate so it would fit. There was no explanation about the 3 sauces that arrived with our plates so I asked (when I called the waitress over again to order drinks.) Honestly we were ignored the whole time we were there. I asked for the bill (twice) and then the supervisor had the audacity to tell us we had to leave for another booking. I pointed out that we were just waiting to pay and he brought the card machine so that we could do so and we left. Prawns were lovely but not good enough to warrant another visit when the service was so bad.

Me and my partner went before a concert. We got there early and got sat down immediately, which was great. The server was fantastic, unfortunately I cannot remember his name. The food was delicious, full of flavour, tailored to your spice level and just overall tasty! We did order way too much and couldn’t take it with us so the waiter suggested to box it up and give it to a homeless guy outside. I thought this was so thoughtful and caring of the waiter and we did box it up and gave it to a homeless guy when we left. Would recommend this jimmy killer prawns to any of my friends and family.

Jimmy’s is hands down one of the best spots in the city for fresh, delicious seafood at unbeatable prices. I’ve been here many times with both friends and family, and every visit has been nothing short of exceptional. Their shrimp dishes are the true stars of the menu—perfectly cooked, bursting with flavor, and served in generous portions. The quality is always top-notch, yet the prices remain refreshingly affordable, making it an easy go-to for both casual outings and special occasions. Beyond the food, the staff is always friendly and attentive. It’s clear that this restaurant takes pride in both their ingredients and their service. If you’re looking for an excellent seafood experience without breaking the bank, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!

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 nice meal and a fun dining experience but I don’t think I will go back as it is a bit overpriced and the service was average.

Food is great as always but service isn’t as good as before. Delays in taking order and bringing sides

Food was very good and Srikanth was very nice, he made sure that we’re comfortable throughout our time there and really great service.

If you’re a seafood lover, especially a fan of prawns jimmys killer prawns is the place to be! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for a fantastic dining experience. A special shoutout to Srikanth, who went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. Highly recommended!

Sri Kanth,has been a wonderful person to us during our visit. He assisted us with the meal since it's our first time in the restaurant. I personally really enjoyed their meal. I will visit again with my friends and family.

Srikanth provided an excellent dining experience and overall really enjoyed the food and atmosphere.

Food was brilliant. We got the prawn platter for 2 served with rice and chips and the dynamite prawn burger. I’d recommend the prawn platter, after all you’re at Jimmys Prawns. Seasoning, was perfect the prawns were succulent. The burger was okay. Staff were not as attentive, possibly due to being a busy Saturday night - room for improvement for table service. However one staff in particular Mimi was brilliant! Constantly checking in and offering her services, she was very delightful. Clean cutlery, clean seating and tables. Constructive criticism- toilets were clean in general but the floor was a little wet and dirty. All in all I’d definitely will recommend the prawn platter! Great dish! And worth the great portions too!

1st time visiting and will definitely be back. We went for the surf n turf platter, this came with rice, steak chips and 3 dips. The food was awesome, the prawns style the the show, marinated to perfection, the fish fillet was cooked just right, the steak was decent but had better, the only negative was the flat cola, did feed this back. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Until the next time

Srikanth did absolutely fantastic job in serving us. The best prawns I’ve ever had in my life.

The food was amazing, great prawns. my server kyra was also so nice and helpful.

The food was amazing, the prawns were really tasty and the rice and fries were even better. Our server Srikanth was really friendly and helpful. Would come back again.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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

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!

Delicious food and welcoming staff

Food was amazing! Heck of a seafood boil. The sauces were great. Lucy our waitress and also the manager was wonderful and very attentive. She made our experience extra special. Thank you!

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Very good service from Srikanth and amazing food!!!

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

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!!!

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

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

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!

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

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

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.

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.
