I have eaten here before and the food is always excellent. We had 6 at a table and all were very pleased. Because the space is small and the place was packed, it is pretty loud. As long as you are aware of this it is not a big problem.

My wife and I had the crispy flounder with collards and hopping John. It was delicious. The fish was fresh and tender inside the wonderful crisp batter. Jerry's is our favorite small, intimate friendly restaurant.

Nancy, our server, was excellent, we would ask to be in her section again! Food was hot and spectacular. The special was delicious and servings were so generous, we had to take leftovers home, which we enjoyed again. Our dessert and coffee arrived together, always appreciated. We came early so it was pretty quiet, the tables filled up and by the time we were leaving it was somewhat loud but it’s a small space and that’s understandable. We always enjoy Jerry’s, it’s special dining!

We haven’t been dining out in nearly a year because of nervousness about Covid, so this was a special occasion, besides being my husband’s birthday. Food and service were great, as we’ve come to expect from Jerry’s over the years. One or two tables of diners were very loud, however, which bothered us, so we wish more sound baffling could be installed. We had booked an early dinner in part to avoid a lot of noise, so in an uncrowded situation, this was a disappointment until that party or parties left.

Great food and service. I thought my entree (scallops over risotto) was a bit over seasoned. Fried chicken liver appetizer, though, was maybe the best liver I’ve had. Nice to see Jerry’s again, as we hadn’t been since before the pandemic.

First meal at Jerry’s with a group of friends. It was a great meal with large portions and awesome food. A bit expensive but we were prepared for that and the food reflected the price. We had apps, dinner, desert and drinks and all were great. Wouldn’t expect this place when driving by but will definitely be returning.

We went to Jerry’s to celebrate a special birthday. The food was excellent! The guys had the short ribs special (they both continued to talk about how great they were), I had the grouper encrusted with goat cheese and our other friend had the snapper. Yum! The food is a little pricey, but it was a gourmet dining experience. The service was also great….Julia and others took great care of us. We all will definitely be returning when we are back in town.

Limited menu and somewhat overvalued. The dishes are heavy more like hearty meals. Seared scallops were cooked properly but a little salty. Bread and butter for table were meager. Breaded flounder was not crispy. I’ve been here three times and always leave wishing it had been better.
