History: Jungle Jim's was founded in June 1991 in St. John's, Newfoundland, with a vision of a restaurant in which the owners would feel as comfortable with their young family as with their friends and business associates. A tropical atmosphere, fun food, huge servings, great value, exotic drinks and zany Tour Guides became the backdrop for a high-energy setting that would attract a target market of fun-loving kids from 1 to 99.
