I used to love Jungle Jims when I was younger. And by younger I mean when I was in my early 20s and liked to drink hurricanes (because what's better than a whole lot of liquor and juice right?). But now I have slightly more sophisticated tastes, and Jungle Jims doesn't really do it for me anymore.
The menu is pretty broad, which can be both good and bad. Good because there's essentially something for everyone, bad because it's obviously frozen fare. It tasted alright - but when buying a bowl of pasta you'd think they'd offer some fresh ground pepper or Parmesan. The garlic bread tasted like soft styrofoam to me. My fiance's meal was good, although not as spicy as he had hoped.
Overall, it was ok. You can pretty much always count on the good selection, just don't expect anything spectacular. Oh, and the liquor is still good (in smaller doses for me). -

An awesome place to eat when you are under 12. Sheer terror when you are over the age of 13.
The worst meal that I've ever had in Halifax was served here. I ordered a spicy Thai chicken wrap. What I got was sliced up, lukewarm chicken fingers, no sauce, in a cold wrap with a bit of lettuce and a smear of Miracle Whip. Yum.
The service was fine, but I kept thinking the server was trying to warn us when we'd ask about certain items. Her eyes would go all crazy and we'd know to stay away.
Good place for people with kids (the crazy decor is something I loved when I was younger), but not if you want something palatable to eat. The food was so bad I'm actually surprised that it has stayed open this long. -

Jungle Jim's. There's not a whole lot to say: Jungle Jim's serves up a varied menu of items designed to appeal to a wide clientele.
Unfortunately, it appears that a lot of the items are merely defrosted from frozen, and that there is little care taken to the presentation of the food. A menu as wide as Jungle Jim's can often mean that only a few things are done well, and this is the case at Jungle Jim's. You're probably safe with a salad, but their variety doesn't extend past the token Greek and Caesar salads, with a house salad attempting a go as an Amazon salad (which is greens and cheese).
Prices are decent, especially for what you get, and Jungle Jim's can handle a crowd of people without too much fuss. If you're not too fussy, Jungle Jim's might suit you just fine. -

Jungle Jims is a fun and great place to go for a birthday or other group event. The restaurant boasts a safari theme with bright colours and crazy jungle decorations throughout. It's a great place for kids and adults, with free children's toys and children's menu items.
Jungle Jims offers a terrific menu with items like Crocodile Skins, Amazon Salad, St Louis Rhino Ribs, and the Kitchen Sink (a bit of all their favorites). They also have a Slim Jim menu with a selection of lighter items, and are famous for their Jumbo Hurricanes, a 46 oz rum cocktail drink, priced at $12.
While the prices may be a little steeper than average, for the fun you have, it's worth it. -

Jungle Jims has been a place we wanted to try for some time. It lived up to our expectations. Fun atmosphere, casual attire and great staff.
The safari look inside works well for this place and the menu reflects it as well. We liked the Crocodile Skins.
It is a great place to take kids, you can relax eating here, no one will be upset if you make some noise. -

What a fun place to eat! The atmosphere is great!! Obviously the theme of the restaurant is a 'jungle' (hence the name). I loved the big palm trees that surface the dinning room tables.
We didn't have any kids but the restaurant was packed with kids!! In fact, it was incredibly noisy and a little too busy for my liking. I sort of felt as if I was in a jungle!!
The prices are reasonable and the food was your average Canadian favourites. I would have rathered a different meal. I had the nachos and I found them to be overcooked and bland tasting.
