Awful. There is nothing good about this place. The food selection, especially produce is depressing. I expect to pay more for everything on Sanibel. But, I spent $96 on one bag of groceries. I had no interaction with employees as I used self checkout. But I overheard two employees being very rude to the customers. One of them actually yelled at the customer to take their receipt. If you are in town for a couple days, I understand the convenience. In this case I would recommend Bailey's General store. But, if you are staying longer, go to the Publix that is just on the other side of the Causeway. As for the atmosphere.. The grocery store is depressing feeling, nothing nice or updated about it. The other stores in the complex are junkie stores. And I HATED that they had the parrots there. The cages for these poor animals were so dirty. I felt awful having to walk by these caged birds. I guess this complex is stuck in 1982. read more

One of the worst markets in the area. I bought a box of Mueller's pasta and it had weevils. Obviously this box was on the shelf for too long. Going off island to Publix, Target, or even Walmart is the better choice. read more

We ordered potato salad from the deli. It was so bland and flavorless that we scraped it off our plates and threw the whole thing away.

Super over priced basic items. Basic the super expensive Giant or Safeway. also the birds outside look bored out of there mind.

I live about 40 minutes away from Sanibel, but was lucky enough to recently spend a long weekend on the island. I absolutely loved this grocery store! Those reviews that complain about prices? IMO if you can afford to vacation or live on Sanibel then I honestly did not see any problem with the value to cost of what I was purchasing. First off, everyone in that store was so friendly and knowledgeable. Secondly, every item we purchased at the bakery, deli, prepared food etc was very good quality and tasty. I believe much of it is made in house. One can not fairly compare Walmart to this store on any level. Not accurate to compare apples to oranges. My local store is Publix... and I can tell you that the prepared meals at Jerry's, as well as bakery, and the overall shopping experience is way better than at Publix, and honestly Publix prices are pretty high too. We noticed the restaurant was pretty busy and asked about it. We were told it recently reopened as Covid restrictions relaxed, after a complete renovation. It was like 12.99 or 14.99 close to, for a complete prime rib dinner on a Saturday night!! OMG! It was absolutely delicious! We will definitely go back to Jerry's to eat and shop when we next visit the island. Oh yea, also way cool- no need to go in the rain.. you park under the store and then they send your groceries down a conveyer belt to be loaded into your vehicle by an employee. How cool is that?! I understand it is a privately owned business, and seems to be well managed. The store was spotless and all employees had on masks. read more

This is truly a 1-stop shop for everything you could possibly need when visiting the islands. It consists of a grocery store, bakery, deli, sit-down restaurant, walk up cafe and a plethora of souvenir options! The customer service was OUTSTANDING! The coolest thing I discovered is that before you arrive on your vacation you can order your groceries online and someone will deliver them to your rental, stock your cupboards and refrigerate your perishables. How freaking convenient is that? Creepy but convenient! The only thing missing here was a gas station. Jerry...get on that, will ya?! read more

I had dinner here. Good food! Recommend for anyone looking for a relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. The restaurant is located inside of Jerry's grocery store. read more

I typed a search into Yelp for "crab-omelette" and Jerry's popped up. It's a medium size Diner inside of a grocery/market. They didn't have a crab omelette, but they did have a Crabcake Benedict ($10.99) that was pretty good. The server said the crab cakes were house-made. Coffee was good ($2.59), and the cinnamon toast was delicious ($2.74). The sidebif hash browns (that I asked to be extra crispy were completely under done, (crunchy raw), still white with a few blackened charred spots on top). read more

Free home made corn muffins to get started. Grouper tacos, crab cakes, shrimp just to name a few our our dinners. Fresh, hot and fast. Waited about 20 minutes. Well worth it. Oh, very fair prices. read more

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

This place kicked BUTT for breakfast. I'm going to PRETEND it had nothing to do with the fact that when you ask for whipped cream, they bring a can. To your table. And leave it there for an undisclosed amount of time. And let you put as much as you want on your hot chocolate/french toast/on the baby's plate so she stops screaming. But I digress! Hubby had a breakfast burrito and I had the Cinnamon Bread French Toast. OhMyYum both were fantastic! The burrito was huge, with a rice, bean, and egg mixture. As I am sure you can imagine, black beans mixed with eggs do not look very pretty, but they tasted great! It was served with a side of fresh pico de gallo and sour cream. The french toast was made with cinnamon coffee cake slices and it was tasty! Was a little on the small side, so order something with it if you are really hungry. read more

We love coming to Jerry's Foods Grocery Store. They have a great selection. We love the shopping center in general because there is a store for everyone. Surf shop, Toy Store, Liquor Store and evening I've Cream! read more

Jerry's has gotten a lot better since we first came here 7 years ago. They could still use to vary their produce more. I wish they had more fresh veggies and a larger organic section, but it isn't frozen-food city like I remember it. I think they should expand their "health" food section, dominated by expensive trail mixes and bars. Perhaps introducing some new spices and condiments would be nice too. It's not like they go stale that fast, right? The beer selection is kinda lacking but you'll find all of the sunscreen you'll ever want in life. read more

Terrific dining options with great salad bar. Fun setting adjacent to other fun spots.

I want to make mention of Jerry's in-house restaurant. What a find!!!!! We traveled to Sanibel with 2 young children and we ended up coming to Jerry's almost every day for a delicious lunch that always tasted great and was very fresh and to see the macaw "GW" that my kids absolutely loved. The service was very good, too. We didn't make it for breakfast, but I understood from a cab driver that they also have the best breakfast on the island. read more

Keep in mind that this is a restaurant in a grocery store...but still has a wonderful view of the palms in the outdoor area. Came here for breakfast twice since they are without a doubt the most reasonably priced restaurant on Sanibel. I ordered poached eggs and they were watery yet hard...very odd. Second time, I ordered the 1/2 pound burger, slaw and fries for $7.99 and could not make a dent in it. So much food for the money! My husband ordered breakfast both times and was pleased. They leave a coffee carafe on your table which is a nice touch. Ordered a slice of pina colada cake to go and it was delicious!!!!! read more

Great selection of groceries-and good prices. Wide variety of brands of some items as well. We were pleasantly surprised! Good cheese dept too. read more

Great fast service...Yitsi, our server, was very nice and attentive. We visit sanibel every year and have eaten everywhere on the island, but this was an unexpected treat....highly recommend! Fod comes out fast and fresh! read more

Visiting Sanibel for 4 days and we stopped the first night to get some sunscreen, water ECT. and saw they have a dinner. Decided to grab breakfast there the next morning and it was fantastic. We ended up having breakfast there every morning. Clean, great breakfast and good service. read more

Jerrys was wonderful on the Island to getting all of your grocery needs. We were camping on the Island for a week and were able to get everything we needed here. There is only one other grocer on the Island, Baileys and they are significantly more expensive. If you care for a treat, Jerry's Key Lime Pie is absolutely amazing and you can get it single servings!!!!! read more

Good food, good service, good value We have eaten at Jerry's for several visits to Sanibel and it's like a old reliable friend. Food is above decent. It's not spectacular or gourmet, but really good tasting, well served and very well priced for the island. Most dinner entrees include a trip to the salad bar and while the salad bar isn't special, it's nice to get a good helping of greens every now and then. The prices have gone up over the years (what hasn't?) but compared to other restaurants, I think this is still a pretty good deal. Wife had the seafood sampler with a good portion of grouper, shrimp, scallops, and clams. I had the grouper sampler with two big portions of crunchy grouper. Veggies and choice of starch (rice, fries, baked potato) make the entrees pretty good. Excellent and fresh with plenty to take home for another meal. The cafe is simple, clean, and service is friendly and prompt. As others have said this is not fancy but very relaxed and casual. You can eat at the counter or have some booths or tables like a typical diner. Food is a solid 3 stars. read more

One of the places that makes Sanibel such a wonderful place to live and visit. It starts with the wonderful welcome of the birds and the joy of kids and adults alike as they engage with them. This grocery store has very well thought out offerings from the creative to the basics in each section. Every time I go, I leave with some new item to try. The staff are welcoming and helpful. This grocery store makes the mundane of shopping an enjoyable and community filled experience. read more

Clean, classy, and wonderful selection. Knowing I'd get to shop at Jerry's on a regular basis made the idea of living on the island that much more appealing, rather than just vacationing there. The reviewer who reported bad bread selection must have just been there on a bad week, because the first thing we noticed was the abundance of fresh breads to choose from. Produce was fantastic as well. The tropical birds outside are a real treasure, truly beautiful. The restaurant inside Jerry's isn't bad at all, either. read more

Came here for breakfast on a Wednesday morning. Simple diner next to the grocery store. Food was good, staff was OK. Prices were about average. read more

Jer's is a good island grocery. We needed a few items when staying for a week on a recent vacation. The prices are semi-decent...remember, you're on an island. They have many different shops and a coffee house at this location. They also have bird cages with exotic parrots in them. Some of them even spoke English back to us. It was fun. read more

Tired of paying $30-50 for dinner on Sanibel Island? Then Jerry's is the place for you! Had a wonderful salmon dinner tonight, INCLUDING soup and salad bar, for $12.99. And then went into their market area, and bought a WHOLE pie to bring home, for $10. And the food tastes great. Tomorrow, we'll head back there for breakfast. Can't wait. read more

I have visited Jerry's on a number of visits to Sanibel Island. It sounds too quaint, but I just love going to this grocery store and restaurant. I don't live in Florida and used to the mountains not the beach, so the tropical climate is such a different experience. There is another grocery store on the island and my family and I made the mistake of going there first. Jerry's is the only place to shop for groceries on the island. I made a point of visiting Jerry's everytime I vacation on Sanibel Island. They have a delicious chocolate scrumption cookie - highly recommended. And the restaurant has a great ambiance. I have enjoyed many a time, the chicken caesar salad with garlic bread. Simple, fresh, and delicious! read more

We always make sure to eat at Jerry's at least once while on Island. We've yet to be disappointed. Good food & service.

Conveniently located, Good selection. Not very cheap but what do you expect on the island. If you want to save some money drive to Fort Myers but you will have to pay $6 tall charge. Bread selection needs improvement. read more

We enjoyed visiting Jerry's diner for lunch and did some grocery shopping afterwards. If you are looking for a diner experience and decent pricing for great food - go to Jerry's! Great food and great service. We will go back one day for a slice of pie! read more

Coolest grocery store on the island. As you walk through the atrium to the store, you'll walk through a garden, complete with tropical birds. We didn't dine here, but stopped in for all our grocery needs.Good place to shop for deli meats (they'll even prepare a sandwich for you!), great selection and great bakery. Don't miss their genuine key lime pie (complete with the sign of pi on top!) It is quite possibly the best key lime pie you've ever eaten! read more

Jerry's Restaurant is connected to Jerry's Market. The restaurant has relatively inexpensive but tasty food. I had the fish tacos that were really good for being only $9. read more

I was craving a good sandwich, and Jerry's popped up as an appropriate choice. They have a good selection ready to fit most appetites. I ordered the turkey club with fries, and my husband ordered the grilled cheese with bacon and fries. The club was excellent and the fries were crispy. My only complaint is that the price felt a bit high for a simple meal, but given the quality and speed of service I can't be too upset. I would definitely go back! read more

This little oasis provides many things to those visiting the island, in the summer time it's biggest contribution is probably the air conditioning. The tropical atmosphere leading up to the entrance is filled with exotic birds and plants that can provide some entertainment but comes with a price if the bird cages haven't been cleaned for awhile, the odor was a little overwhelming my last visit which is not ideal prior to shopping for food stuffs. I don't know if Jerry's is associated with any grocery association but it does remind me of the old IGA stores. I don't usually frequent grocery stores for the restaurants, but this place seems to be a pretty popular stop for some in that regard. The produce and meat selection seemed to be decent being there aren't many options here the turnover probably contributes to that. The prices are a little steep some attribute that to it being on an island - ok I guess we'll run with that theory it's not like this is a remote island in the middle of the Caribbean tho, I'd say it more from the lack of competition which justifies it somewhat, in my opinion it simply gouging... read more

The market gets a 5 star cause it was the best on sanibel....it is really nice. Good bakery, lots of selection like a real supermarket. This place and baileys would suit all your grocery needs depending on which side of the island your at. Jerry's food is more bright and up to date compared to baileys. I prefer Jerrys! Their restaurant on the other hand was very disappointing. We went there for dinner (based on yelp reviews.......THANKS AGAIN!!). Diner atmosphere. I liked the unlimited salad bar with your meal.. but the entrée itself was a disaster. Did not like the food... low to average quality. read more

A great convenient place that normally isn't too crowded. BEST FRIES EVER!! I had the fish and chips and my only complaint was the coleslaw. It tasted a little dry and like it had been sitting out for a while. Otherwise though, great! read more

I liked a few of the food items, but the hours seem to change. They were 6:00A, then you get there and they're not open until 7:00A. We're early birds. read more

Jerry's restaurant for breakfast. Great little place tucked away next to the grocery store. Normal breakfast fare that is cooked fresh. Belgian waffle was a hit with a side of bacon, all cooked great. Fresh orange juice and you can taste how fresh it is. Very pulpy. Great place for a quick breakfast. read more

Great omelets fresh squeezed OJ tasty treats great service fresh fruits and their pancakes were delicious.

This place has it dialed in.....the access to everything you can imagine and the best customer service ever. We would certainly shop here every time we come to the island. They re located centrally n the island, next to other stores, parrots in the entry area make the visit fun too. A plus for this grocery store. read more

Food was good, but server and food were very slow. Server was down right rude. By the time the food came out my friend's meal was completely wrong and waitress wouldn't fix it! No refills on coffee. Check was very slow in coming. Only eat there if you have a lot of time to kill. read more
