Absolutely delicious! My boyfriend a HUMONGOUS omelette and I had the Mexican breakfast sandwich with ham and a side of arepa with butter and cheese. My boyfriend is a big guy, and this omelette put him on his a**! Service was great and the bill was extremely affordable as well, I foresee myself being a regular customer! read more

I have not visited their location but Jerri's Luncheonette has earned not just my gratitude, but admiration and respect. During the difficult times we are all currently enduring with the COVID-19 pandemic, I walked into work at Yale New Haven Hospital to discover Jerri's Luncheonette donated amazing food for our OR team out of the goodness of their heart! The food was delicious and pretty much made our hectic week so much better. I would like to thank the owner and all those who work at Jerri's for the kind act! It meant a lot. read more

Since the new expansion the quality as well as presentation portions has gone down. Paying more while serving less... A lose customer very disappointed!!! read more

Had the Blueberry pancakes for breakfast from Jerri's yesterday -- they were very tasty & filling, I enjoyed them. The talk around West Haven is that the Colombian selections are very good, but I have yet to sample that fare at Jerri's yet. read more

Love this place, waitress/waiters very sweet and attentive...the food is amazing and the prices are descent...the place is small so there are times that is packed especially in the weekend for breakfast otherwise is worth the wait! read more

Went here for breakfast. Sat for over an hour after ordering. Several customers came in after and received their meals in a timely manner. The owner told me that my ticket got "lost". However the waitress told us several times that our meals would be out in 5 minutes. We eventually walked out. We were the only Blacks there at the time. Kinda makes you wonder why we were never served. This was the second time this happened. It will definitely be the last time. read more

Omg I just ate here and the food was awesome I had a carne asada and the combination of flavor were perfect

Servers are great. The food is awesome ! The prices are on point ! Parking can be annoying but.. that's par for the course.

Doesn't look like much when you pass by, but the service and food & coffee was really good. I had a breakfast sandwich and my hubby had the western omelet. Small placed that got packed quickly. read more

Great hardy servings. And the true diner feel. Home town feel,, tried and true through the years seems. Food tasted great ! read more

I was expecting something a bit like Patricia's in New Haven (breakfast standards, low prices, one of my favorite places.) Jerri's has all of those things, like eggs & toast, pancakes, omelets, etc. BUT they also have... COLOMBIAN FOOD! SURPRISE! It is good. We both ordered arepas with eggs, hot sauce and avocado, as well as a side of plátanos [great with maple syrup.] They also offer chicharrón and bistec y huevos. The place is tiny, but we had no wait. Servers were friendly. Regular Diner + Colombian Diner = will be back. read more

I go to Jerry's very often. And this place never disappoints me. Everything in this place is really good. They have a lot of different options from wraps, sandwiches to the traditional Colombian dish bandeja paisa witch is my favorite, it's a must try. read more

We found this little gem on our girls trip from New Jersey to Maine! Food was fantastic, full of flavor, plentiful and authentic Colombian!! Service was so friendly and speedy!!! Hoping to return here soon!!! read more

The food is always good! The chefs are fantastic. The new waitress however is rude & sarcastic. It was not busy at all. Only one family in the restaurant so I don't understand why she seemed stressed & annoyed to be there. There was another kind & sweet, veteran waitress. But that new waitress needs to turn her attitude around. She is one of the faces that represents Jerri's luncheonette. Do better. read more

Two words: Columbian breakfast. Outstanding, and definitely large enough for two people to share. I would actually recommend doing so because it would most likely be too much food for an individual to consume in one sitting. At around $12, it is also more cost effective to share a meal. My boyfriend added a toasted bagel and we each had a coffee, all for around $20 which included tip. Our meal consisted of a mound of beans and rice combined, scrambled eggs with scallions and tomatoes mixed in, a large, thin slab of grilled steak topped with fresh avocado slices and fried plantains, and a side tortilla with cheese that was made out of rice dough rather than wheat flour. All of the food was incredible, up there with five star quality. Service was friendly but average. Our waitress did take a minute to explain the various Columbian selections that were listed on the back of the menu, which I appreciated. The coffee wasn't exceptional, but passable. The interior is cute and cozy. They have definitely remodeled to positive effect since I was last there several years ago. I suspect they may have changed owners or management since the new vibe is different than I recall, and I prefer the current atmosphere. I feel like I have rediscovered another solid, affordable, local breakfast place in West Haven. read more

This place was a perfect spot for a quick delicious breakfast! The service was great! The bacon was cooked perfectly as were the home fries! Definitely going there again! read more

Great Colombian and American food . Exceptional staff . Always friendly and attentive .

I've been wanting to try Jerri's for the longest time and I finally went in for breakfast today. The menu is a combination of your regular American fare plus some Colombian specialties. My husband had the Calentado (steak with mixture of rice and beans plus scrambled eggs with scallions and tomatoes plus and arepa with cheese), and I had a sausage omelette with homefries. The portions are big (I couldn't finish mine, but my husband cleaned his plate) and the quality of food is excellent. Everything was well-prepared and with good flavor. They have that homecooked meal quality to it. Their coffee was great as well. The service was attentive and nice. The place is small but at the time we went, we didn't have any trouble finding a table. We'll definitely be back to keep trying more dishes (arepa rellena being on the top of my list). read more

This is my favorite diner in West Haven. It's small but has a ton of character and they make great food! Get yourself an omelet and you won't be disappointed. read more

Ok loved this place but not so much after yesterday's visit. Not the usual customer experience we are accustomed to. Let's start with the waitress who when asked if we could have warm milk for our coffee she responded we don't do that. Really? She is rude. This is the waitress with glasses who does not speak Spanish. Next the poorly cooked pork belly. Soft fat not consistently fried. We sent it back and it came back marginally better. The perico which is usually tasty was tasteless. No salt. Lastly, the loud voice carried on by the before mentioned waitress and a customer. Jerri's is not a large place but you don't need to carry on like you're at a ball game. At this time I have lost my appetite for Jerri's. Absent finding a good Colombian breakfast alternative I may return but if have a repeat experience as described I am most likely saying goodbye. Jerri I am rooting for you. Get consistent and get rid of the rude waitress. People don't want to be spoken to in a condescending manner at anytime and much less when they are about to eat. Thanks. read more

I love this place. The service is great. The prices are better. I have never had a bad meal here. They have common breakfast offerings and Columbian breakfast options. Order the calentado. Great value and the eggs and beans are delicious. Look at the pictures people posted and then rush there to have a great breakfast. read more

Love this place! Combination of American & Columbian food. Only open 6am to 3pm. So get your food early. Carne asada is to die for....I swore off Dunkin donuts to have their fresh coffee. read more

Happy to have discovered this place a few months ago. The food was very good. Come hungry the protions are big. The columbian breakfast will keep you full all day. The side of avocado was perfectly ripe and a great compliment to the omelette i had. I will keep this place in mind for an excellent breakfast spot. Be prepared to wait a bit for your table as the place is small and well know. I've never had to wait more than 15 minutes so far. Well worth it. read more

Walked into their establishment and never got greeted or acknowledged. Stood there for a good 15minutes and did not get a look, a how are you, or even a here is our menu. I don't expect much but what I expected was some hospitality. It's a shame because they appear to be good, but from my experience not great. I turned around and left without looking back. Good luck to you. read more

Waitress Deanna was very pleasant excellent food! I love coming here best breakfast place in CT

I love this place. We've been coming here for 5 years. A fantastic mix of traditional American diner food and Columbian specialties. My Ecuadorian husband straight up craves the calentado. Service is quick, friendly and dependable. Tiny, and only open for breakfast and lunch. It's cute and clean. Decent coffee refilled in a timely manner. Fairly priced. What more can you ask of a diner? read more
