jimmyz original hibachi house

while visiting myrtle beach, we were intrigued by the hibachi houses that looked less like the fancy steakhouse restaurants we are used to and more like fast food type places.  they have drive thru windows. drive thru hibachi houses.  say what ? jimmyz hibachi is what we were recommended on the main strip filled with seafood restaurants and pancake houses. jimmyz sits on a corner without a sign so it can be easy to pass by (the sign looked like it was wiped out by a storm and never replaced.) it’s a counter service place where you order your food and have it delivered to your table.  chad and i both went for the 2 meat or seafood dinner combinations ($12.25.) i ordered scallops and tuna and all dinner plates are served with fried rice and hibachi veggies.  it was amazing.  while i didn’t get the soup and salad you will get a fancier full service hibachi

well i used to go pretty often, food was always good. but recently the food just isnt the same. its just not as good as i remember.

this was a wonderful find! quick service, excellent portions (we took home half!), and great tasting grilled, well seasoned vegetables and shrimp! also had a sushi roll, also very good!

awesome food !!!. i love jimmyz, friendly staff, amazing food and affordable! we eat here twice a week! you guys rock!!!

jimmyz original hibachi house gave us all the good things we like about japanese steak houses (like the food), just without the show. we found the quality of our dishes to be on par with most of the japanese steak houses we’ve visited in the past. we were very pleasantly surprised at how good everything tasted. if you are a fan of this genre of food, the hit jimmyz’s if you visit myrtle beach. you’ll get a ton of really good food for a really good price. and, you won’t have to watch someone make a vol

jimmyz north vs south. i ate here back a few years ago and it was awesome, we are going to mb in late july and was looking for a place to go for cheap eats, remembered the great experience we had before and wanted to see if anything changed...notices some bad reviews, then it dawned on me! these were the "northerners" reviews. if you're from "off" don't come here...you won't like the food! that's cause it's good!

order was wrong. we ordered shrimp &scallops, and steak & scallops for pick-up. received 2 steak & scallops. the food was ok, not great, but not what we ordered

this place doesn't live up to all the good reviews. not much flavor. food arrived cold. i guess it would be good if i had a few drinks, but not a place i will visit again.

delicious! i read the urbanspoon reviews and decided to try this place out. the place itself is maybe a little rough looking but the food is awesome. get the chicken teriyaki bowl. best of all they have unlimited shrimp sauce!

i dined in this afternoon for lunch and boy was i happy with the food and service. i ordered a low carb veggie bowl with steak, which was even better an i expected. cooked perfectly. the workers were all polite and very helpful when ordering.
i give jimmyz two thumbs up and i will definitely be coming back. definitely the best hibachi restaurant i've ever been to.

i read all the reviews and i will honestly tell you what i think. number 1: the place did not smell bad. we picked our food up to go and it was not bad to sit and wait for the food. number 2: they do not cook the food in front of you, but i swear it is as good if not better than big fancy hibachi restaurants. we will definitely be coming back each year we come to the beach!!

i'll come back. the food was okay, but there was a cashier.. i think her name was hannah? she was smoking hot monday afternoon.. i'm definitely coming back for her!

"unusual fast food." i now understand why this type of fast food is so scarce. my understanding of hibachi is the spectacle of food preparation and the discipline of the chef itself. this place degrades that essence and adds it to the "instant gratification spectrum" of fast food. the restaurant located on highway 17 of myrtle beach, another clue it is meant for on the go, is quite "unhealthy" looking with its un-mopped floors and dirty crammed tables. they attempt to contrast this "appeal" by adding outdoor seating which helps you in escaping the deep fryer smell. the "banging shrimp special" i ordered was nothing short of greasy and thoughtless. it tasted as if the deep fryer oil hadn't been changed in months! the fountain drinks, which were not included in the "special," also tasted like a carbonated mess! i thought a special was meant to showcase the restaurants talents. this place fulfills all the requirements for fast food, but does nothing to make hibachi "original." for me, curiosity definitely killed the cat.

good, cheap food.. we were pleasantly surprised by jimmyz! i ordered a volcano roll and the teriyaki chicken plate. both were very good, and best of all, this place is dirt cheap. wish we had a place like this where i live!

love the sushi!. best sushi in town. cooks are fantastic. made just the way we asked, we will return!
