Revisiting the WORST Rated SEAFOOD Restaurant In My State!

[@DwarfnStout]

Back in 2016 I worked at Jimmies of Savin Rock as a teen, I worked there for 3 years and absolutely hated working at this restaurant. The Owners were rude, mainly the manager who was loud, obnoxious and would snap at the drop of a hat. I was a dishwasher and then thought being promoted to busboy was a huge step forward, I didn't have to work in the dishes anymore. I was wrong, because now I get to do both dishwasher and busboy completing and closing both ends. I would come home exhausted everyday. One day I was in a rough state and couldn't come to work, so I informed them of the situation and they told me I couldn't come back to work without a doctors note or report, I was able to get that for them and there was a huge misunderstanding and the manager yelled at me to leave telling me, "I will never be welcome to Jimmies again.". I'm gonna say it that they played favorites, if you were handsome and charming you get the red carpet treatment, if you were unfortunate you are guaranteed to work in the back and not get the same treatment. This job is still a traumatizing experience to this day and every time I see bad reviews, video reviews like this and so on. It makes me glad that I was let go, and one day I hope this place becomes a boarded up memory.

[@gjahlar]

bro u cant wash dishes AND bus tables?

[@gzenno]

black floaties on a drink could mean they have mold in the ice maker. a real bad sign.

[@JohnClMeis]

Free flavor.

[@Deftones22]

Could just be a dirty dishwashing machine. If the machine runs out of soap or not draining properly, food bits and particles get redistributed thru the machine at times.

[@Menachiball14]

Exactly sludge builds up in the chute alot of places get dinged from the BOH for this

[@Azariah-pv2xv]

They are supposed to soak them every other day in sanitizer water

[@Menachiball14]

@Azariah-pv2xv ya it doesn't always happen at least once a week would be suitable to avoid sludge from syrup

[@michalawhitford5123]

The waitress had a very diplomatic answer to your recommendation question. Not that there was plenty of items that she liked just that there was a lot on the menu.....

[@cyoohoos]

When I worked in food we HAD to have a recommendation. They would have us taste the menu within your dietary restrictions. Or at least know what was popular?

[@whoisjessie]

Bet she got in trouble for that after the bosses watch this video

[@lifeisgoodno1]

You should also review the cruise lines restaurants… which company have the worst / best food

[@willforeverpubg4235]

Here on KZbin I'd watch a couple Cruise ships, You can said it was Food court mall on there.

[@suhndog]

Great experience!! I LOVE your wacky, off-the-cuff humor as well.. you brightened my day!!!

[@motownman383]

It makes a difference when they hire a new chef. Also, you were very polite and a smile goes a long way 😊🐟

[@2Big2Small]

daym keepin it real as always love the reviews !

[@DJCharlesworth]

Man, the clams your buddy had, looked fire!! Your Sole looked awesome as well.

[@phr3dmcc0y]

I love this. I love redemption stories and I love when you enjoy the food. Eating your words never looked so fun.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

The thumbnail tho.

[@ztbi]

I thought you were incognito low key in these restaurants. I thought you put your phone up against the salt and pepper shakers. I didn't know you were at the table with that big behind tripod 😂.

[@justis142]

And truthfully it is a bad look. Yo love my man vids but do what my man did in ATL one time send ya family in people they won't recognize and get a true review. Being a food critic oh they gonna try supa hard to make ya food top flight.

[@kylewilson9260]

That was not a mozzarella stick. That was a miniature calzone.

[@MzLena2You]

Captain Galley's is a throwback lol. Even with them being closed for so long, I have still been there more recently than Jimmy's. I am glad they seemed to have redeemed themselves, but when I feel like a nice deep fried shellfish dinner, I go to the Sandbar about 5 minutes away. There's also Turks and Stowe's which are both in walking distance. Jimmy's has the upper hand with real estate and ocean views, but I would much rather dine elsewhere, then take a walk along the beach. I am glad they have a new chef, (they probably could use a major remodel also) but it's still a no for me.

[@tyrelljackson872]

Daym love the videos as always, but can you please put the link to the songs you use on your drives to the restaurants. Songs be fire and the artists deserve the recognition and support for them to grow.

[@naphtaliaruth599]

Love the songs too

[@aaronfox5808]

It looked great from Arizona. It's awesome that you go back in for retries. I enjoy your channel and gift for gab. Total Respect going your way.

[@jayberollin3552]

Great video! What was the song that was playing when you arrived at Jimmys? Very good addition to the video.

[@slimbrady3758]

I ain’t even frontin, you know what would be a dope food review in Connecticut? The food trucks on Long wharf!! Those joints bej hitting hard!!

[@DevinProSea]

This is what I don’t like about doing food reviews, or watching someone else do food reviews is because whenever you have a camera in someone’s face or directly in your face, people treat you differently. They put you on a different type of pedestal, and it seems like the items are better than they normally would be, because they come out sometimes too perfect because I went to a restaurant one time and the young lady kind of figured that I was a food with her because of how much food I ordered and my food came out perfect it was the best food ever had in my lifeso I’m not fully sure how to go about this we’re trying to get the same service that a normal person would have versus an upgraded service

[@okumabear]

IDK about the soup, that looked straight up like Progresso canned soup. I could've sworn that Progresso had the Ditalini noodles like this restaurant has, but I was wrong, but it still looks very much not fresh. Now, Progresso is good for canned soup, but it's still canned soup, and a restaurant has no business serving that. Charging for soda refills is a non-starter, period. The fish looked and sounded great, I heard that crunch. But I noticed you didn't try the items that the reviews had complained about. Also, never discount the power of carrying a camera with you on the quality of service and food you receive because of it. Glad you had a good meal, but I'd recommend trying it again without the camera setup and see if the items that were complained about were corrected.

[@anthonygilbert5138]

Never discount the fact people are lying

[@Leadwithleaders]

“In a grip” man I haven’t heard that colloquial phrase in a while…great vid

[@EdwardSanchezProductions]

Happy new year Daym

[@crazyfnjoey]

Right down the street is one of the beat seafood places in the state. You gotta go to Stowe’s! It makes Jimmys look like a Long John Silvers. It’s a little seafood market too so you know your getting fresh food. Great fries too. Damn, I’m getting hungry. Get the seafood gumbo too, you won’t regret it!

[@alisonclarke1127]

Happy new year!!!!!! 🎆🎊 blessings and love from New York City

[@krisfrederick5001]

"The Itis" was introduced to me from a best friend from Connecticut. All in the Family Daym! Happy New New Year everyone.

[@JoseMora-tl2ku]

You always have the best music daym whats that first songs name you have when your on the way to jimmys its amazing

[@tyreesetjjoyner1995]

Good video daym. Happy belated new year. Time to begin the 2024 season for you, Daym drops.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@olrikm]

Goes to a seafood restaurant. Orders mozza sticks? Check. Orders chicken noodles soup? Check. ...

[@NicCageForPresident2024]

The review where they mentioned that the brother was more into the memory of Jimmy's as opposed to the actual restaurant as it is now reminds me of a place that I used to go to back in high school. Me and my buddies would go and get Italian grinders, and they were the best. I went back a few years ago as an adult after about maybe 15 years, and it was absolutely horrible.

[@robbinruffino1201]

Go to USChowderpot in Guilford or Lenny & Joe’s in Madison and Westbrook! Short and delicious ride from Jimmy if they go downtown again!

[@robbinruffino1201]

And that was mold in your soda!!

[@farrockqns3759]

Those mozz sticks were the best by far I’ve saw myself thick crispy cheesy pull of a mozz stick joints looked bussin off appearance alone..the fish looked to soft for my liking I would want it crispier on the exterior..the soup looked like one of those soups you cuddle up under the covers on a cold night type soup..that fudge Sunday would mess my stomach up but I’ll smoke that mf either way lol..and that black floaty in the drink is the only complaint cause that means the machine they use is dirty or something in the back is but other then that better then when you were there before much love and happy new year to you and dale and both the fams

[@bradye21playsIndieHorror]

The camera quality is looking so good, keep doing whatever youre doing!

[@KayExposesTruth]

Can I PLEASE get your songs you play in the videos listed ❤ They sound amazing and I want to support the artists ❤ Amazing reviews as usual Daym! Much luv ❤

[@jamellehearn1389]

HAPPY NEW YEAR BRO

[@charliecoplestone9694]

Song name/artist while Daym is driving to the restaurant?

[@melvinhamilton670]

The carrots 🥕 in the soup looks canned soup. 🍜

[@lamarwilliams185]

I was there a year or two ago and it was great. There is a place down the street called Savin rock. It’s a event spot and sometimes have a buffet open to the public. Worth it. Expensive but worth it.

[@Thanatos--]

The Daym glow ups when he just comes rolling in are fun. You know, like an episode of Catfish or Help I'm In a Secret Relationship! where they deploy out a car like they are the A Team or some s*** and then walk into a cafe.

[@chrismard]

Why is breading coming off the fish a good thing? I'd want my breading to stay on when i dip in the sauce. Am I wrong?

[@Aaron.Davis56]

I used to drive down from Hartford in the 70s and 80s about once or twice a year, but it got really popular, long wait and loud and the food quality went way down. I use to get the Seafood Platter with a mile high of onion rings. I think it was called Belly Buster or something like that. My last time there was in the mid 90s once and I've never been back. Maybe this Spring.

[@kellyc2425]

The internal temperature of the mozzarella stick has wayyy more influence on the "cheese pull" than the quality of the chee. For real, my guy. 👍🏼

[@Suavay5]

Daym I still say go when 4,5,6,7pm when traffic pick up see if the rating is the same

[@wonder12374]

I think at this point all restaurants have a picture of Dayum in the kitchen 😂

[@SKS8080]

Yep. It’s obvious

[@kyngsmash2305]

Them noodles in the soup look like spaghetti Os tho 😅

[@dunnrite8299]

Who is the artist u playing at jimmies and on the way to jimmies ?

[@93ajcollier]

Bruh your fish is 100% not supposed to fall out it’s breading like that. How much they paid you lol?

[@DavidNgo86]

Lol

[@DavidNgo86]

It's sole not catfish

[@dark-azure8199]

1 mile away is STOWE'S which has some of the best seafood in the New Haven area.

[@chuck32504]

Yal drive way to slow in Connecticut signed a Floridian.

[@RikiRouseScott]

Yall do what yall want in Florida.... 20 mph over the speed limited in Florida is the norm🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@djbigpean]

You must got us mixed up with Massachusetts.

[@lannierwin7844]

I think you should have an average Joe blow go in and order for you and when the food comes out you come in because I think with how famous you are as soon as they see you out in the parking lot it’s already established that your an important person and they need to make damn sure you get the best, that’s why I say have somebody who’s an everyday Joe come order and when it’s ready you come in that will really tell you how they treat and feed the public.

[@johnnopeyy4129]

A bad chef can't just all of a sudden become a talented chef because Daym shows up though. 🤷

[@amberlawson7867]

that floatie looks like mold, which means either it came from the ice maker or the drinks...just a heads up

[@fedupnow61859]

My parents in the late 40's would travel from Old Lyme to West Haven to have a date there. It was the happening place for teenagers. I went in the 70's and it was still good

[@LadyNaeonX]

When I seen the title, this is the first restaurant that came to mind.. its a shame, this place used to be a staple in the 90s, elite if you will.

[@TimLoyalToWifeHaterFreeZoneA]

Love It DaymDrops Bro Suuuuuuuuuuuuuper Official.

[@hawkyhawk]

please come to the uk for a chippy

[@marvino6778]

Fam what's the first song?

[@fastfoodreviewandelvistoo]

Daym, Is the fish haddock or cod? 🐠

[@ginamarandino6451]

Daym you're in New England what are you doing getting a chowder with a clear broth?!?!

[@davehardenburg2924]

I never ate there Daym but looks good. Love from New Britain.

[@justinklebieka5486]

Back in the day Jimmy's and chicks those were the spots back in the day but West Haven is dropping the ball on everything seems like Bridgeport is picking up that ball which is kind of weird when it's one of the most dangerous cities in Connecticut

[@richardbullock8499]

They got the IG live smoke and they came thru … you kept it a 💯

[@KayExposesTruth]

11:44 🍛 11:51 😜 😂😂😂😂 I'm the words of Biggie, "U nasty boi you nasty"... 😁

[@madisonriver1534]

Jimmie's is not what it used to be. You hit it on a good day. Most of the time it's absolutely horrible. And to charge for more than two sodas is ridiculous. I'm glad you enjoyed it but I would never go back as disgusting. You really need to go to the Seven Seas in Milford and give them a review if you want a good burger seafood or pretty much anything.

[@steelokey]

Damn I have never been this early to a DD video

[@ND3600]

“I can’t, there’s too much…” 😂😂😂

[@mfmayes]

did they cook it special cause they recognized you and wanted to get a good review?

[@KingKanami]

Amazin As Always!✨

[@mturbevi]

It look like a nice blue sky spring day up in Connecticut

[@jimfaust6342]

Those mozzarella sticks looked amazing

[@dunnrite8299]

That wasn't fried right that batter should never separate, they dropped that fish to wet , or oil was under temp 🧐 I would've been pissed , if my fish came out like that ! Maybe it's just me ..

[@jeffhernandez6886]

Have you ever reviewed Mall food courts

[@otisbanananutspunkmeyer]

No. He doesn't like crowded places. That's why he goes to these restaurants when they first open

[@MARKLOCKWOOD2012]

ah deduction on the brownie points [tips] if things are tight you might wanna re think that one free re fill charge after words

[@willforeverpubg4235]

Daym is back again.

[@kennethparker1938]

this man said the cheeze pull lasted longer than the full length of the entire star spangled banner song lool

[@gradybrowning3976]

That was some great looking Seafood! Definitely a full turn around!

[@antonioclarke7755]

11:48 this man is crazy 😂😂😂

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Dayum soooooooo happy on the Thumbnail with his cheese.😂

[@Donfrasl]

My mom used to love this place when we were little lol they were the go to for her.

[@eugenegarland841]

Dang have you tried Arby's fish sandwich yet

[@Space-Holiday]

Damn son that mozzarella stick was like Stretch Armstrong with the pull!

[@ItzBlonBlizzy]

Yo that food looks magnificent bro dayum w visuals man I would go to ct for what u just had ngl to u I would jump u for that whole meal lol it looks that good and the reactions u gave

[@jarred8733]

Man you must of been really hungry for that mediocre looking food to get a 4 stars. Like the waitress said "it's not fresh, it's fried!".

[@higurashianduminekoconnect1702]

Well if you don't have a jump rope when exercising these mozzarella sticks will work. The cheese pull on them was insane.

[@ThisIsGers]

11:49 lmaoooo

[@hallertau]

Daym, you are left handed. Me too. Knew there was a reason I like your channel.

[@ND3600]

Would love to see travel/ food reviews.

[@paulbrowniii7919]

8:35 your welcome 🙏🏾 😂

[@polarbearsaysyummy5845]

From what you ordered, it looks like the kitchen only contains deep fryers and Microwaves.

[@l.xyx.l4645]

W vid big man ❤❤🔥🔥🔥

[@samjackson6049]

Love your videos

[@iiBeToXiC]

They offer me food all the time, i would never.

[@joesch11]

OMG... those clams looked fire!!!

[@J1995M]

I wish Reg was there to see that motz pull

[@philipthrasher5250]

That was a magnificent cheese pull but my brother disagrees because he does not like cheese 9:58

[@JOHNJ0HN9111]

THAT CHEESE PULL WAS FIVE MILES LONG MAN.. AND THAT CHICK NODDLE SOUP LOOKED DIVINE.. AND THAT FISH LOOKED SO YUUUUMMMMMMMMMY

[@jamesbigham9036]

Daym in my opinion they definitely were reading the reviews and made positive changes which is a great thing. I would say they should definitely get a 4 star rating

[@charlesjohnson6902]

I love this series

[@49ersfaithfulforever90]

Gotta ask…what’s up with the Propel Bottle? Lol

[@seeweda]

Those Mozzarella sticks definitely dropped in the fryer when ordered them but they looked suspiciously like the same ones Chili’s, Olive Garden and lot of chains sell. You also all got fried seafood which is harder to screw up especially when dealing with clean fryer oil and looked like you may have been their first customers of the day.

[@Sergggg_e]

Daym is a baller for trying worst rated Seafood restaurants lol. Seafood isn’t something to play around with, you can get reallll sick 🤢. I’m glad he did though, my man Daym is the king at this KZbin food shit.

[@jamesdove8021]

Love your poet's soul.

[@JamesTorti]

Everything looked exceptional. 10 all-day.

[@tylerwatson8209]

yeah i must agree with that cheese stick wow
