Waitress changed, took some time for her to serve us. Food order wasn’t accurate, drinks weren’t great and our second dish tasted rushed. Overall, not the experienced I was expecting. I don’t think I ever wanted to run out of a place in my life.

Visited Jerry’s this past weekend. Has a great outdoor dining experience. The staff (especially Asylen…I probably butchered her name) was awesome. The only thing I didn’t like was observing the manager speaking to some of the staff. Her attitude was very unprofessional and you could tell it made the staff very uncomfortable as well. I felt bad for some of the staff because you could tell they were working hard but this manager was speaking to them like they were children. I will definitely come back for the food and the outdoor dining. Please tell the bartender that his play on a “spicy margarita” is terrible and to please rethink his current recipe. A spicy margarita should not be orange.

I love this place, they have a really good vibe, but I think they mark some things up too high for the quality. $4.00 for club soda is plain ridiculous. They charged a very reasonable $5.00 for a Lavender Lemonade Mocktail, so why is club soda $4.00? It just left me with a bad taste. Most things are OK, but a few things are just wildly overpriced.

Amazing food and great ambience. Made a reservation for Mother’s Day brunch and was given a table outside, which happened to be a very cold and windy day. Ended up sitting at the bar, which was ok great but not the most comfortable. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our visit and look forward to returning.

My husband and I had brunch at Jerry’s the morning after traveling for a concert. We had a friendly welcoming and were seated immediately for our 9am reservations. Jerry’s just opened and we were asked what music we would like to listen to. We had the place to ourselves and enjoyed an encore concert for a bit. Our meals were delicious, amazing staff, and beautiful decor. I would definitely visit again while in Philadelphia!

Met a friend for brunch - the weather was crummy, so we were the only ones there for a while. Service was great and the food was good! They even adjusted the volume on the music, since it was just the two of us to start. Things started to pick up around 10AM, but we were still well-cared for.

Unfortunately had a terrible experience with our first time dining at Jerry's. We were attending a concert at the Fillmore nearby with the show starting at nine and our res was for 7 PM. Let's just say that we didn't get our dinners brought to the table until 8:50 at which time we got up and walked out without eating dinner. The service was atrocious and we waited 30 minutes for our drinks, 45 minutes for apps and then 1:45 for the meal to be served, at a bar no less. When we complained to the manager, she was rude and unhelpful. "We have a new menu" "what do you want us to do about it" was the response. The waiter seemed incredibly frustrated and clearly wasn't his fault. They need to get their act together fast!
