I think it's safe to say I hate leaving less than 4 star reviews. Even if a place just isn't my preference I don't want to discourage others from trying it and the staff here was great but the food was just meh for me. The sausage in my omelet was just like sausage links cut in squares which idk, I'd just prefer it be ground sausage. The pancakes had a weird almost undone taste to them and the keylime pie had a weird taste as well. Then there was a gigantic fly smashed on the window where we were sitting and another gigantic fly buzzing around that fly. I mean, this fly was so thick it literally fell on its back on the sill and we thought it died but it turned out it was just so fat it couldn't get back up. Anyway, kind of disgusting entertainment while you're eating. Oh but the grocery store is the only full service grocery store on the island I think so definitely get your groceries here and say hey to the gigantic fly for me. read more

Since Hurricane Ian, we have shifted to buying all of our food for our home on Captiva from Publix to Jerry's. The staff, especially Vic in the meats/fish counter - (AMAZINGLY FRIENDLY, knowledgeable and helpful in discussing meal preparation!!!) - and Norman the manager, have made it a delight to shop here. They were amazingly helpful to everyone in the community for the two years after the hurricane hit. The store is clean, very well stocked and well- priced. Kudos to Vic for getting us to switch!!!! read more

If you are staying on the island for more than a day or two, you're going to end up wandering around Jerry's. You know, for a bag of Dorito's. Ice. Chocolate. Snacky things. Picnicky things. Food to go things. They have different departments in the supermarket that do a good job - the bakery and meat market were helpful. An added plus - covered parking for those pesky torrential afternoon rains. Don't forget to enjoy the birds in the gardens! read more

Great island breakfast. I had Sanibel beach Benedict... I loved it ..... try it out you will not regret read more

Jerry's Cafe - Island breakfast in Jerry's is our favorite place. Clean and tasty food, friendly waitresses... - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sanibel, Florida

After years of visiting Sanibel Island, we finally stopped in to Jerry's. The entrance to the market itself is very interesting with a outdoor courtyard filled with many large, beautiful tropical birds in cages. Birds in cages aside, Jerry knows what's up when it comes to food!! Super delicious freshly baked goods in his bakery area. We opted to pickup a few homemade cookies for our super long road trip back to Toronto which were coconut chocolate chip, peanut butter, ginger, and M&M. All were totally delish. We also only wanted to purchase one croissant (I know we are those people) and the gentleman in the bakery was kind enough to open a box of four for us to pick one out of as he had run out of singles. Thank you, kind sir. Nice selection of unique gourmet foods with a good sized produce area and awesome choices for local craft beer to go. We will be back for sure next time we are on the Island. See ya soon, Jerry!! read more

Jerry's and the attached plaza are great places to visit upon checking in to Sanibel for the week. The grocery store is kind of pricey, but to be expected on the island of Sanibel. I have been coming to this plaza since I was a small child and this is still a fun place as an adult. The parrots are the best part of visiting Jerry's. They laugh and some even chatter a bit. One of the parrots will even mimic your laugh if you are lucky. Before you go into Jerry's, I recommend browsing in the souvenir shops and picking up some postcards. This plaza is a must for those visiting Sanibel Island! read more

Everything about this place is wonderful! It's a grocery store, diner, coffee shop! All separate, but in under the same roof. The people are friendly, kind, and helpful! I had coffee from the coffee bar, - so good! My kids ate the baked goods. My husband and I ordered fish tacos and a Rachel. So good! Maybe I was starving, but it was great! Oh the fries too, so yummy! Everyone in masks. The salad bar was open. I thought that was odd in a COVID environment... BUT they had signs and provided gloves for those who wanted to get salad bar. They were great at enforcing COVID protocol! Making sure people who entered had in masks. Ok this is was cool! I bought some water and OJ at the grocery store part, and a 12 pack. Not thinking about all those stairs in the charming garden area. How was I going to carry all my loot to the car!?!? Oh they solved for that! There is a conveyer belt! They gave me a number, I drove to the parcel pickup and opened my trunk! A masked worker placed my groceries in the car! It was so cool! The area has a few other shops. I will welcome the chance to go back! read more

Jerry's has long been one of the primary supermarkets on Sanibel. It's service and selection has always been outstanding. Jerry's has long had an innovative approach to delivering your groceries to your car by conveyor belt. During the Covid-19 Pandemic the Jerry's delivery service has been terrific and indispensable. Bravo to the wonderful people at Jerry's. read more

Needed one item to complete a special recipe. Call them and they left their position to go check and see if they had it in stock, most excellent service! read more

Unexpected deliciousness and once again incredibly friendly service from a Sanibel establishment. We stayed in the island and biked over for breakfast. It's close to what you'd expect for a cafe tied to the Market. That said the food was fresh and delicious. They had great servers! Ekaterina was such a dear and really anticipated needs. Mostly locals and I know why. It's a great place! read more

Jerry's Cafe - It's always the right time for Key Lime! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sanibel, Florida

You'll pay food the convenience but it's very very convenient and they have pretty much whatever you'll need for cooking up something wonderful while you're on the island. Nice produce and meat and a vast wine selection. If you have a cart full of stuff they'll run it down on a conveyor ABC's have you pull around the parking lot for your "parcel pickup". The staff was helpful and friendly too. read more

We stop by Jerry's every time we visit Sanibel. This grocery store carries an excellent selection of prepared foods, groceries and snacks. The bakery section always smells amazing so I'd advise avoiding this area unless you are prepared to buy some donuts or fresh baked bread! The produce selection is small, but covers all the basics and lets be honest; I'm just here for lemons and limes for my cocktails! There are bigger grocery stores on the mainland, but this is a solid option if you want to buy some groceries on the island. Tip: check out the cages of colorful parrots and parakeets that line the shopping pavilion. read more

A decent if expensive local supermarket on Sanibel. The selections of produce, deli, meats, seafood, wines, beer, other packaged items make for one-stop shopping ease. My preference is to shop off island first but when here on vacation and needing more food, Jerry's is fine. Parrots on way in are a unique feature. read more

Cafe is good, waitresses were all friendly, spoke to the kids, smiled. I would go back. Grocery store had lots of employees, no one said hi, no one smiled. I was waiting at the deli and some guy came over from the front of the store and asked me what I needed and proceeded to tell me he didn't know where the deli worker went? But they he just started slicing my food, never washed his hands. I was so mortified, I know I should have said something but I was just in awe. So then a woman came over and was asking where the deli worker went and they were going on about the guy who was supposed to be there and then she started slicing as well. Now she had gloves on, but she walked over from stocked the cold area in front of the deli with those same gloves on. I paid for the cheese and turkey and when I got home I just threw them away, I should know better, Baileys is always better customer service and selection but Jerry's is closer to our house so we went there. Just make the drive to Baileys. I'll try Jerry's again next summer and hopefully it will be better. read more

We ate breakfast at Jerry's food of Sanibel by complete accident. Our waitress Christine was just as good as our food. This place is delicious!! I had the cinnamon French toast and I'm convinced it was the best thing I've eaten in months. read more

Wow! What a wonderful community grocery store! Clean and very friendly staff. Awesome operation. Best date night I've ever had with the love of my life! We enjoyed dinner in the cafe and then we did our shopping. Great memories on Sanibel. read more

I love Jerry's. It's always so clean and has pretty much everything you need. Staff is friendly

Tried Reuben and fries and Mango avocado turkey burger with potato salad. Fries were good. Reuben and turkey burger were very average. Potato salad was below average and needed salt. Service and atmosphere was good. read more

Great grocery store stocked with all of the staples and some yummy surprises too. Met all of our vacation needs!

Went there specifically for a key lime pie such a cool grocery with a definite island vibe going on love it!! Key lime is best on island!

We really like the convenience of Jerry's but the customer service in the deli is mind numbing! Three women standing in the rear of the deli (12:30 pm) and six people in line to be waited on and they were talking about something but could have cared less about waiting on anyone! Had had to speak up to break up their very important conversation. This is not the first time it's happened! The store is very clean and the other employees are nice. The deli needs some management! read more

During our week on Sanibel Island, we ended up eating at Jerry's cafe four times. Why? The food was dependable and consistent, and we never had to wait in long lines. Also, we could eat there and have conversations without having to yell to be heard over a crowd. For simple food, this is a good option. I particularly like the straightforwardness of their burger (two thin patties on a delicious bun that tasted homemade), though we missed the addition of pickles (being from the Northeast, we like pickles). The French fries were actually among the best I've ever had. It seems like they put something on them that gave them a little extra crunch on the outside. Another memorable item was the key lime pie, which they make themselves. It was wonderfully creamy, with a very crumbly, buttery graham cracker crust. I wish I'd had a chance to try their chocolate cake, which is served in slices so massive that they're almost intimidating. Maybe next time! read more

Great food and staff ! Our waitress was helpful with suggestions and very attentive. Having windows and tropical like view is nice. The 'baby' iguana was taking a slow still up the palm tree which added to our dining enjoyment. read more

We were in Sanibel when a huge storm hit, so we took advantage of Jerry's covered parking and covered boardwalks to do some shopping. The storm refused to let up and it was getting to be lunch time, so we decided to just eat in the restaurant inside Jerry's grocery store. We weren't expecting much from a grocery store restaurant but were very pleasantly surprised by the great food and service. We all ordered the soup and salad bar. The soups were great, the veggies on the salad bar were very fresh, and the bar also featured a large olive bar which was also delicious. Jerry's was a very pleasant surprise. A perfect place for a good, quick lunch. read more

Seeing the birds in the cages is heartbreaking. They looked miserable and depressed and the cages were none too clean.

Jerry's Foods is okay. I really thought it would have more. It is a grocery store with a little restaurant café inside. You park in the covered garage which is nice to avoid the hot sun and the crazy rain. You can not bring the carts up and down the stairs but they have a service where they bring your cart down, and there is someone there for you to pick it up in your car. They do not want you to tip also They have some ready made foods like Rotiserrie chicken and the sides, but aside from that, it is the usual grocery stuff. I thought it was going to be like a Whole Foods where they had more foods to eat and go, but it is not. read more

Parrots! And groceries. But parrots! Prices are a bit higher than your usual grocery store, but you probably could've guessed that. They have just about everything you could need here - just like your regular grocery stores do back at home. If you're buying a lot, they have this weird chute system that shuttles your purchases down, where you then drive around and pick them up. Keeps the carts out of the lot, I guess. Decent beer selection. On our last day, I decided to grill up some burgers. Bought 4 from the meat department, then went to the deli for 4 slices of cheese. The lady gave me an eye-roll, then proceeded to cut the thickest four slices of all time. It came out to nearly half a pound of cheese, in four slices. I had to laugh at that scam. read more

Incredible little store. Has all the essentials needed. A little pricey, but they have Boars head meats!!

Nice find and a neat, unique concept... A sit down, table service restaurant inside of a grocery store! We stopped for breakfast while riding our bikes on the island. Surrounded by lots of tropical plants and Windows galore! Several tropical birds in cages as you walk in to exchange a quick 'hello' with :-) Service... Quick and friendly Food... Egg scrambler with Swiss, ham and spinach on a croissant was delicious combination Decent coffee (they leave a little carafe for you on the table, which is nice) ... And, we get to pick up some groceries on the way out! read more

Jerry's Cafe - Nice views! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sanibel, Florida

Jerry's has a wonderful restaurant that serves good food. Waitresses are friendly and prompt with everything you need. However the air conditioning is blasting on you and makes the food & coffee cold too quickly. Would be 5 stars if not for that. Bring a sweater and maybe they could heat the plates or turn down the AC. Highly recommend the French toast and burritos. read more

Stopped on a chilly Friday afternoon after biking the paths of the island, and enjoyed a hot chocolate, a delicious Turkey Club and hot, crispy french fries. I really enjoyed the food, the cafeteria-style restaurant which was recently remodeled and looks great. Will definitely return again! read more

Go to Jerry's for the bakery -- this is the place to order a birthday cake or buy challah or their delicious cinnamon bread. Skip the meat and seafood counters and go to Bailey's instead. The produce here is mediocre, a slight step down from Bailey's and nothing like the farmer's market. read more

This place is inside Jerry's grocery store, there are floor-to-ceiling windows so you can enjoy the tropical flora outside. Really nice way to start the day off. There are even in parrots and cockatiels (caged) in the courtyard before you enter the store. Good breakfast food (I came here three times for breakfast), slow, nonexistent service in a pretty bright and airy space. Tables and booth seats aren't always properly wiped down but its probably bc they're so busy and like to sit a table as soon as its empty. I've only had the breakfast menu but everything is pretty solid. The croissant sandwich (with sausage or bacon) stood out, eggs Benedict was a popular dish, and the OJ was good. read more

Good food. Good service. Thank you Cathy! I would recommend this place for breakfast & brunch anytime. Went to over easy cafe the day before and we didn't like it at all! So here you get real fresh food, friendly staff and a Diner like location surrounded by lush greens. Kids friendly ( they'll get crayons and paper). I would return. read more

I love Jerry's and was so glad to hear about it's reopening after the hurricane. I will definitely miss going there this year, but as soon as we're allowed back on Sanibel, I'll be there!! read more

Pricey, but expected on the island. Restaurant was basic food. Service slow. Prices good.

Best breakfast! Wait till you taste their pecan wood-smoked bacon. They're open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but my favorite is breakfast. For lunch, their salad bar is amazing. They have soups too, and a large variety of toppings - all you can eat for like $9.99. Every night is a different dinner special as well (like Prime Rib night). You've got to try it. read more

Pretty good grocery store to pick up some snacks for the beach and our rental. And actually some meal and tidbits for hanging out. Good to know there are plenty on spots to pick up Snacx and Dranks on the island. No need to drive out to Ft Myers!! read more

Loved the food at the restaurant, prices were good. The birds are amazing! Grocery store is clean. This is the best place in Sanibel for the money! read more
