Country Fried steak was good. Luckily they serve the gravy on the side because it was not good. Definitely not sure why it's ok to charge $3.50 for drip coffee read more

A gem. I'd dropped off my Jeep at Goodyear for a couple hours. My blood sugar was dropping. Needed food! I started walking the strip mall, and happened to upon this delightful and mouthwatering cafe. I'm not much of a breakfast person, but Jerry's was delicious. I took my best friend to brunch there next. He loved it. Spread the word!! Jerry's is quaint, the dishes are not too big. Staff works so hard. I will be going back!! A++++ in my book!! To boot, the BEST hash browns I have ever had. Potatoes are my favorite food. They nailed it :) read more

Stumbled upon Jerry's Cafe today. Service was great and food was great! I'm soo picky taste wise for gravy-it didn't disappoint!! Sooo good. We ordered the French toast à la cart and the ham and eggs plate with a side of gravy for our biscuit that was included. Coffee was perfect, not weak or too bold. Service was great!! We will be back when in mood for a hearty breakfast!!! read more

Great food and service. Atmosphere is lacking but its a greasy spoon diner kinda place. Food is good! read more

This is a class facility with excellent food and attentive bright servers..... This is NOT your fast food "I don't care about you" place. Fun for kids and adults. Try it it is a 5 star place read more

Food was really good. Had the Meat Lovers Omlette. Came with hash browns, choice of toast or biscuit. Also had a pancake. "Frisbee sized" as described on the menu. Fluffy, Good taste, fluffy read more

Service and food was amazing! Ordered club sandwich and fries. Sandwich was delicious and huge. Enough for a second meal. Fries were hand cut and probably the best I've ever had. Ordered a cinnamon roll to go for my mother. It looked good but I didn't get a taste. Maybe next time. If you haven't tried this place, put in on your list. The exterior is not much to look at, but as they say, don't judge a book by its cover. read more

Went here for an early breakfast and ordered a half order of the Big John, and subbed in the corned beef hash. Even for a half order, the portion size is plenty big. The coffee was hot and fresh, and I didn't feel the need to add cream or sugar, so that was a plus. They forgot the CBH and quickly fixed the problem. I didn't really have a problem with anything about this venue, it was not anything spectacular either though. I definitely got the feel of a "Mom & Pop" neighborhood diner, which I appreciated. Our waitress was friendly and dropped by to check on us occasionally, so I never needed to flag her down. It was not crowded at all, but I have feeling this place has regulars. read more

Very friendly, got the French toast. It was excellent. They have specials throughout the year, depending on season. Place a small, very cheap seating, but they do have to go and that's very good read more

I had the carnivore Burger with fries, I ordered the burger medium rare and it was cooked perfectly with great flavor it had a couple strips of thick cut bacon and a fried hard egg exactly how it was ordered. The fries were thick cut natural potatoes and were fantastic. The servers were friendly and polite. It is a typical diner setting and was clean with adequate seating. Definitely worth several return visits. read more

Here's the thing... when Jerry's is good, it is awesome. Breakfast, lunch -- both can be great . The consistency is the problem. If you order within an hour, hour and a half before they close? Good luck. Portions? Who knows. Sandwich grilling, fries completely cooked, cheese melted on your omelet -- it's a roll of the dice. So, we do love this place - sometimes. read more

I have been eating here for years and we love it! Best Tenderloin in the city!! The French Toast is spectacular, never had better. The all meat omlet with American cheese is a favorite, and when your really hungry tackle the BIG John! read more

I came here several months ago, and had forgotten to leave my review. This place was memorably good, as far as both food and service. The only reason my and my family came here was because I had a restaurant.com certificate for this restaurant, but had found out there was some error between restaurant.com and this place. Regardless, we ordered our food. My husband had a standard breakfast, and enjoyed his food. I had a very tasty West Coast Omelet, but the most impressive was my son's "Smokin Ring" hamburger. I took a picture to show what it looks like. He loved his burger, as it satisfied his big boy appetite. I'm looking forward to going back to try some other items. read more

Jerry's Cafe - Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs Breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Solid breakfast food with huge portions and reasonable prices. I personally love the omelets and the hash browns are great. Keep in mind this is a small space so there may be a bit of a wait during busy times. Service can vary, but it always seems decent. read more

The fries here are world class. Everything was delicious, but the fries are worth a long drive to get to.

Breakfast with the hospice team. This is a tiny restaurant. Has an old time home town feel. Cute murals on the wall. Clean restrooms. I greatly enjoyed my bacon and eggs. Coffee cups are assorted and all different. Remind me of all those mugs we get gifted but then later donate to charity. Coffee was good. The hasbrowns are very thin (about the thickness of angel hair pasta) and crisp. I like them. One of my coworkers didn't. Another coworker ordered a cinnamon roll and it looked delicious. I will be back. read more

Breakfast was out quick and delicious. Big portions. Service was great. Small quaint place. The wait is worth it. There are less than 15 tables. read more

Jerry's Cafe - Dining room. Probably less than 12 tables. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Cozy restaurant with huge portions! Be prepared to take some of your breakfast home because Jerry's Cafe is generous with their portions. I made the (wonderful) mistake of over ordering, and I had 3 boxes to take home with me. Service is quick, food is good and great portions, and people are nice. This is a neighborhood Cafe, so you will get to watch friendly conversations while you're enjoying your food and coffee. I wi definitely go back for more. read more

Two visits - may become a breakfast tradition. This little hole in the wall doesn't disappoint on food or service. French toast is a large size order and so sweet, delicious, tasty, crispy yet soft too. The Big John... a must have! I wasn't sure of the choice my friend made when he ordered it but I'm sure he was annoyed of my "sampling" it. He got the full size by I will have to def order the half size. Its a small place but worth waiting for or going early. read more

I found out about this divey brunch spot from a lively conversation on an airplane to Kansas City and had been excited to check it out since. I finally made it in and while it was solid brunch fare at an affordable price, I wasn't as blown away as I was hoping. Everything was good but nothing to write home about. Overall It's good place if you are looking for a no frills local spot to grab breakfast or brunch. read more

We were recommended this hole in the wall by multiple people (including a waitress at another breakfast joint!) and were very disappointed. You walk in and no-one greets you and there is a little sign that says wait to be seated. We finally get the attention of a waitress and it turns out that the notebook titled "Waitlist" is there for you to add yourself to it. How they expect newcomers to know this, I have no idea. Service is incredibly slow and it felt like we are bothering them by asking questions. I ordered a basic breakfast with eggs (over medium), bacon (asked for extra crispy), toast or biscuit (opted for biscuit) and hash browns (subbed for grits). When our food was brought to the table it was sans biscuit and grits. I was told they were on the way and I didn't receive them until I was 3/4th through the eggs and bacon. Which the eggs were perfectly cooked but the bacon was severely undercooked. Turns out that the biscuits are prepackaged and just heated (so I don't understand the delay there) and the grits are served scalding (I was able to get a couple bites but took the rest to go). Two of our party of four ordered the french toast (which was recommended by our waitress) and felt it was weak. Challah break dipped in custard, not soaked so you were left with a bready taste. So really, just some subpar french toast. Oh and then our syrup was leaking out of the sides of the cap so our bottle was just covered in sticky syrup! The vibe was just amateur and the food and service followed suit. With all the breakfast places in the area, I will not be returning. read more

I've been there twice for Breakfast and had the same thing both times....it was that good. Well, the first time i wanted the 12 oz ribeye and eggs, but they were out (1088) of steaks...so I went with the "big John"....full order. It was delicious! My friend and I always share our meals so I got to try her pancake as well. Topped it with a side of Peanut Butter....yum! Definitely a favorite spot if you want to get a good breakfast. read more

Homey delicious food in massive portions. Like eating on a farm with your grandparents but without that weird family member who may show up. You bring who you want to eat with! Anyone who has eaten here with me loves it. The cinnamon rolls are the biggest I have ever seen. read more

Visiting KC for the AFC football game. Wanted a good breakfast before and found Jerry's. It is a small place but we were seated right away. Every was friendly, even though we were wearing Bengals jerseys. The staff were so friendly and joked with us the whole time. The food... just wow. Chicken fried steak: well seasoned, tender, and so so good. Biscuits and Gravy: the gravy was perfect and the biscuits were fluffy. Bacon: this is real bacon! Thick, crispy, and a huge serving of it. Hash browns: crispy without even asking. Cinnamon Roll: larger than my head and one of the best cinnamon rolls I have had. Highly recommend! read more

They have the best French toast in town. It's made with Challah and it is delicious. Their pancakes are huge and eggs for other members of my party were fixed correctly. read more

If you're looking for a great hometown, mom and pop diner, you're not gonna do better than Jerry's Cafe. The food was superb and filled me up to the brim. One of my kids got a pancake that was bigger than he was. The wait staff are so friendly they're your best friends by the time you leave. read more

We stopped in for late breakfast. They weren't busy and there was a winter storm in progress or incoming at least so we sat for a while while both servers stood and watched TV. It took awhile to get our order placed (a pancake and side of bacon for each of us). It seemed to take a long time to get the food considering we were the only customers who weren't already eating. The bacon was really good. The pancakes were good but a little tough. The blueberry pancake was better than the plain one. They put the huge pancakes on a tiny plate which makes it hard to maneuver. They don't give you enough syrup. Our server started cleaning and visiting with other customers so we asked the other server for a box. She never brought it. Finally the original server brought our check over and we were able to get the box and pay. The food was fine. The service was okay, but I'm not sure any of the experience would make me crave a return visit. read more

This is a diner, so my five stars are in that context. Most reviews involve breakfast. Let me tell you about lunch. We went for the tenderloin. It was large, nice thickness, and well seasoned. Today, it was $9.95 with fresh cut fries. The surprise was the Italian steak, also $9.95. It was not on the menu but I saw it on the white board. It was the same pork loin as the tenderloin but with Italian breading. It came with fries and a bowl of tomato sauce. I like it better than the tenderloin. The service was good, refilled drinks without asking, just the right amount of attention. My only complaint was I was too full for desert. read more

Jerry's Cafe - Tenderloin and Italian steak! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Daaannnng. I like this place a lot. I just ordered the bacon and eggs. It came with 4 strips of bacon. 2 were crispy 2 were chewy. Eggs were what they were. Made the way I ordered so that was fine. Wifey had the half order of French toast and she like it. As lunch approached we saw more food come across the counter that looked like it needed to be further investigated. Like those home cut fries. Our server was suuuuuuuuper nice. This is very important....when you walk in the door there is a pad on the counter on your right. Put your name and number on the list because this place gets busy fast. Definitely worth a second visit. read more

I was visiting from out of town on my birthday weekend, and thought I'd stop by for my favorite fried catfish and reuben sandwich in the world. The catfish lived up to my memories and expectation with huge crispy juicy fillets, but the reuben was prepared with less than half the meat it's typically been served with over the years-decades, to the point of feeling skimpy, my first experience like that ever here, disappointing. read more

Jerry's? More like Hairy's... we literally found three hairs in our meals. I wanted to like this place but the food made it very clear that wasn't happening. I guess I'll have to cut them a little slack, they were probably just having a bad hair day LOL. ...also the cinnamon roll was drowning in frosting and butter. It looked like a wet diaper. read more
