Three of us went there for dinner and had ribs and eggplant parmasan. The food was good, but eggplant parmasan took forever and we waited and waited. There was no decent wine by the glass, so in order to drink a tolerable glass of wine...with the food, we had to buy the whole botte for a high price although only one of us drank wine, which was a bummer. The place looked ok, and was not crowded. Service was Ok too. For me, the price of wine decided if I would come here again. But all in all, was an Ok restaurant.More

I visited this BBQ place based on other people's review, well let me tell you I was very disappointed with the taste and the presentation. I was there at about 2.30PM on Saturday July 31, 2022, I order the Caribbean Style BBQ sauce, they did...not have any, so I ended up ordering the Sweet and Sour Sauce(Nastiest Sweet and Sour Sauce I ever tasted) and my wife had the regular BBQ sauce on a rib order, the plate came with a Nicaraguan style lettuce tomato and carrot salad, a piece of dinner roll and French Fries, NO Corn Bread, NO Sweet Corn, and the BBQ sauce that they claim it is home made it actually tasted like the cheapest bottle of BBQ sauce you can get at your local supermarket, the ribs tasted like they boil them until tender and then add the sauce on the ribs when they put the the ribs on your plate, there are no grill marks nor the BBQ sauce has the caramelized look on the ribs, I was very disappointed, the bill was shy of $30.00 for two of the least expensive BBQ rib dish and a couple of soda pop, The OFFICIAL Exchange rate at that time for US$ to Nicaraguan Cordoba was $35.60 per 1 US dollar, they exchanged it at 35.00 per 1 US dollar, that is unacceptable. The place was somewhat clean but the bathrooms were terrible and stinky, the wash basin was dirty as if it has not been cleaned in moths, the urinal was even worse. If you want real southern BBQ ribs look somewhere else. This place does not know know how to cook BBQ ribs U.S. Style. I will not ever come back, nor do I recommend this place.More

We just had dinner and it was perfect. The service was excellent. We had ribs and steak. The steak was the best I have had in 6 years in Nicaragua travels and the ribs were perfect. Very casual comfortable setting welcoming all. We asked for...them to get us a cab and the cab they got was half the price of the one that took us there.More

I was impressed with Jimmy Three Fingers. The food is solid, definitely the best American-style barbecue you'll find in the country. I usually go for the queen size ribs and rotate among the different sauces and have never been disappointed. The sides are equally appealing,...and service is generally attentive. I've come as part of a group and pre-ordered the food, and it's been ready within a few minutes of our arrival, with all of the food coming as requested. The ambiance is also nice, casual but thoughtfully designed. If you're from a barbecue destination don't bother, but the rest of us will enjoy our beer and ribs and Jimmy Three Finger.More

I almost feel bad dinging a star, but I'll explain and maybe it will get fixed. I've eaten here three times and I'm never disappointed. I've only eaten ribs, I've never tried anything else. He's got it down to a science and yes, Jimmy only...has three fingers, at least on one hand. I met him, but couldn't ask how it happened. I digress.... they have 4 sized of rib servings: Emperor, King, Queen and ...Lunch...I can't remember the small size name. I ordered the King size, trying not to be too glutonous and couldn't quite finish. I probably wouldn't order the queen size just because i'm macho enough and I like the leftovers. You can get potato salad or mashed and his sauces (there's a few choices) are great. My one complaint...is the sauces are put on after and they weren't hot or heated, so I had hot ribs, with cold/room temp sauce and it threw me off. It didn't ruin the meal, it didn't keep me from going back, and it wouldn't keep me from recommending this joint...so go there, eat big, eat too much...and if it's that important to you, just ask them to heat the sauce or just shut up and eat it! ;-)More

The smoked and honey BBQ dirty south rib style recipe it´s a must to try if you´re coming down to Nicaragua and would like a bit of closure from home hahaha (The chili is really tasty!). The service is actually very good per the country´s...customer service standards and the atmosphere is cozy if you want to be inside with AC or experience a more beach/surf ranch style shack house for sports events and a few cold ones. In my opinion, being Nicaraguan and raised in the U.S.A. no other place to have some good ole southern hospitality cuisine!!More

Recently ate at Jimmy Tree Fingers for the first time in se real years. We started eating at his restaurant over 11 tears ago in Granada and have fallowed it’s moving several times. This was the first for theis new location. I normally eat the...rbs as they are the best I’ve found in Nicaragua but since I’ve given up pork for Lent I had fish. It was delicious and mow I will be returning for both the seafood as well as ribs. Even the chicken dish that Mary had was great, stole a bite or two. The wait staff was extremely attentive and courteous. Shows someone has been working to have that extra that makes people come back. Sorry we’ve been away so long and looking forward to making your place ours again.More
