My son recently quit his job as a busboy and dishwasher at Jerry's. Mice in the drop ceiling, cooks not wearing foodservice gloves while handling food, dishwasher would run out of detergent, the owner would tell them to just keep 'washing' the dishes. Not a safe place to eat anymore. More

Looks like they are updating the menu, which is a mistake. First for a Saturday night at peak dinner time, there were plenty of parking spots to be had. No wait for a table. The menu has changed, with less to choose from. Ordered the Prawns with a half rack of ribs, french onion soup, and baked potato. We orded... More

Jerry's has been around for ever and everyone knows that they have great ribs. They are not over priced for the meal. What I disliked the most was the wait to get in and seated. Granted we went on a Friday night. Once in I felt like we were hurried to finish. Never been back although I know several who... More

People r passionate about this place filled with memories made past & present. We have enjoyed every meal here with family & friends for many years. The "new owners" have made it their own with a fresh new menu keeping the favorites, RIBS (the best) & adding some awesome things we can't wait to try like Sunday brunch. We randomly... More

What are these people talking about?! The menu has been updated and it is awesome! The food is always so tasty and the service is attentive. I always bring people here when I want to impress them, like guests from out of town and when I want to avoid the same old stuff other restaurants in the area offer. I... More

Used to be the best ribs around, but has gone downhill since change of ownership a few years back. Last time we ate there the ribs were dry and boring, however, they still have the best baked french onion soup around. More

An odd restaurant in fit for me as it's good in several areas but I rarely go here as when I want something it seems someone else is a little better in that area so I go there. For the most part they are known for their ribs and they do ribs pretty well. They have an outside thing in... More

This used to be our go-to place for special occasions and I used to rate it my favorite restaurant. It has slid so far downhill, I don't care if we never go back. Nine of us went on a Sunday evening. Parking lot used to be filled, it was empty at 5:30 PM. They had only three reservations which should... More

Moved away 5 yrs. ago, but came home to take our kids out for dinner. We had visited Jerry's many times over previous years. Thought this would be a wonderful night out. Waitress was excellent. Do not remember her name. Very attentive, food order was all correct. Brought drinks promptly. Soups and salads were good, not great. Tues. night was... More
