Best crab cakes ever - hands down! I have had many as I am a SOMD homegrown girl. Jerry's is a small establishment with a comfortable atmosphere, the customer service is beyond compare - better than the finest upscale restaurant. Will keep coming back and tell all of my friends. read more

Jerry's Place was recommended by a friend and I trust this friend when it comes to food. We were not disappointed at Jerry's Place. I loved that they brought out samples from their menu. The staff was passionate about the freshness of the seafood and the preparation. Our dinner was delicious. The soft-shell crabs were the best I've ever eaten...lightly battered and fried, but tasted like they were sauteed. The restaurant filled up by the time we were leaving. This one is a keeper! read more

Although the staff was super lovely the crab cake was soupy and bland. I found 2 small hairs on my potato bread (crab cake sandwich) hence the two stars. The cream of crab soup had some type curry seasoning in it my spouse was put off by it. The kale was excellent though! read more

Awesome. I am so glad we decided to go here. It is near Mr. Tire in PF. Jerry the owner greets you as soon as you walk in and the service is the most attentive of anywhere I have ever been. It is not cheap, but man it was out of this world. He even gave me some roses from his garden. He visited the table several times to make sure we were happy with everything. He is great! Our server was very attentive and we wanted for nothing. I have to find out what the Pinot Noir was so I can buy a bottle, it was really good. We sat down and our server immediately came over and took our drink order. Just after, we were brought fresh rolls and cute little butter balls and a sample of fried fish with sauce. It was really good. I ordered the special lump crab and jumbo shrimp on puff pastry with cream sauce and chilled asparagus with paprika vinaigrette and it was sooooo good! Perfectly cooked! I did not even touch the baked potato! I took it home. Got carrot cake (all desserts are home made) and took a couple bites and saved the rest for my granddaughter since that is her favorite. It was really yummy! Awesome frosting. I was really pleased with our entire meal and will be back for another special occasion. read more

This place has seafood cooked to perfection. One of the best crab cakes in Calvert County. The staff is very friendly and the owner usually creates the customers. read more

Yikes, not sure what all of the other reviewers are talking about but this place is a total rip-off . The only thing memorable about this place is how ripped off you'll feel when you get the check. You arrive thinking its a typical hole-in-the-wall seafood joint with amazing seafood and leave realizing you just paid way too much for a lousy sandwich or entree. I ordered the haddock sandwich for $16 and when it arrived, it appeared to be a frozen fish sandwich on nothing less than a supermarket hamburger bun! No sides save a handful of potato chips and a pickle and no toppings (tomatoes, lettuce, onions etc.). The crab cake sandwich is no better, fresh crab meat from Venezuela?! Tasted like it was fresh a month ago. We very much wanted to like this place based on the reviews, but spending $60 for two lousy sandwiches, 2 cokes and a stop at the Oyster Bar (which was nothing special) is a total rip-off. Oh, don't forget the ambiance, a brilliant sunny day outside and the blinds are all shut. Perfect. Maybe there is a different menu for locals or all of the reviewers are somehow related to Jerry. Either way, I can't reiterate this enough... KEEP DRIVING! There are far too numerous establishments in either direction more worthy of your appetite and wallet! read more

This is not the greatest place you'll ever eat. You'll have a nice meal and good service but this is not going to be memorable. On the plus side: that is an all-crab crabcake; the Maryland-style crab soup with vegetables was very good; and, the fried halibut was fresh and not greasy. On the down side: There was no seasoning, none, in the crabcake, almost making us wish for some filler because the filler might have some taste; if you must serve potato chips with your sandwiches, try to make sure they are fresh; this is not an attractive location or attractive restaurant. (If you didn't know better, you'd think Jerry's Place was the name of the adjacent tire store). The bacon-infused kale that everyone seems to love was good. Is this a negative review? No, but the collection of five-star reviews from other diners made me expect a lot more. And, the prices -- $16 for a sandwich and $24 for an entree -- also make you expect a great meal. Our experience leaves me suspicious if the 5-star reviews are from real customers. If they really think this is the perfect restaurant, they need to get out more. read more

I might like the food. I don't know. I didn't stay to find out. I went there by myself for an early dinner, excited about the fresh oysters. I was greeted at the door by Jerry, which was great, and his son led me in to find a table. There were a lot of tables open and he asked if i'd like a table in the middle or one by the wall. The ones by the wall were larger. He started to lead me to one by the wall but then he started into an angry tirade because a woman was still cleaning them off. He said there weren't any clean tables in the place (there were quite a few that were set). He was really thrashing her out. I said I could take the one she was cleaning and I didn't mind waiting. He then remarked that those tables were big and they had people coming. I offered to sit at a smaller table. He insisted I sit at the larger table because it "was the only one clean" and then made another remark about how they had people coming - and sighed and said oh well and then he walked away. The lady who was cleaning tables looked very stricken and embarrassed. I started feeling very uncomfortable - like I was a bother or something, taking up space they would prefer to be available for crowds. I decided to leave. I didn't feel welcome as a solo diner. I didn't want to sit through dinner feeling like they didn't want to waste a table on only one person. I'm not sure I will ever go back. If you're with a crowd, I'm sure you'll have a great time there. Just don't go solo. read more

The food and service are always amazing. They have the best crab cakes I've ever had - zero filler. My husband completely adores their soft shell crab. The scallops are huge and perfectly cooked. The fried haddock is the best fried fish I've ever had. The crab dip and crab soups are delicious. They will give you free refills on sides. Outstanding place. read more

The best seafood in Southern Maryland, and absolutely the best crab cakes! Family run and family oriented, very friendly and courteous staff. Their menu isn't very large, but what they have is the best. Save for special occasions, it's a little pricey. read more

My boyfriend and I found this place on google while on the hunt for good Crab Cakes. We got their grand daddy crab cake and it was HUGE. Their crab cakes are excellent and definitely have no fillers. I would definitely recommend this place for just their crab cakes and maybe drinks because their sides do leave something to be desired. Maybe it's because we're not native Marylanders, but neither of us were huge fans of any of of their sides. We ordered the fries (nothing to write home about), asparagus (they bought the ones that were too big, so the flavors were lacking), sweet potato (again nothing to write home about), and the Kale (probably the best side they had). They brought out some stewed tomatoes for us to try and maybe it's because we're not native Marylanders, but sweet stewed tomatoes taste kind of odd. They are a little on the expensive side because my boyfriend spent around a hundred bucks on just lunch, but their crab cakes don't have fillers so it's sort of worth it? (But really a hundred bucks on lunch in the middle of nowhere Maryland?! you've got to be kidding me) read more

Best place for seafood - best 100% crab cake!!!! Staff is so friendly. Owner comes out to greet the patrons at the tables. Jerry's Place is always busy. Best stewed tomatoes & kale. read more

I live in the Huntingtown area of Calvert County approximately 3miles from this establishment which makes this place easily accessible. Our family goes there probably 2-3 times a month and the service is great. I read that one of the reviews mention racial comments being made. We are african american as well as the review I read and I talk to these guys and they can a chatty cathy @ times, but thats what makes this place rise above the others. Nobody ingage in conversation anymore and are too uptight now a days. Jerry Sr, and Jr work the room giving away free samples (fish or oysters) at times and inquire about the satifaction of your meal. They are very intuned to their customers and are on point with customer service. They make Bro response @ times but they do that to customers black & white. I was going to write a general review until I read about the racial comment which shocked me. There is alot of racisim in calvert, that is true statement. But this place is not one of them. By the way the food is great and worth the cost if you want real time invested tradition cooked food. read more

I had the fried shrimp, crab cake and crab dip. It was all delicious and the staff are all amazingly friendly and attentive. This place tries very hard and they hit each note perfectly. read more

By far my favorite restaurant in southern MD. The crabcakes and haddock are stellar. The service is impeccable and it's very family friendly. I love to eat here as often as I can. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!! My husband and I were headed to Stoney's on Broome Island when I ran across the following reviews here on yelp.. I'm all up fro trying new places especially if they have great reviews. The owners Jerry ( and daughter) greeted us at the they were extremely pleasant and hospitable.. We were very impressed right away with the service alone. They bring out fresh samples of menu items for you to try which was a first for me to have a restaurant bring out fresh samples. :) The night we went we tried Shrimp Scampi in Alfredo sauce, Fried Oysters & Shrimp, Side dishes with their stewed tomatoes (which I'm not a ussual fan BUT these were deliciuos and sweet.) When we actually got to our food we were almost to full to eat. I would recommend coming hungry cause you will leave stuffed.. We ordered the Mussels in the wine/ garlic butter sauce, with fresh bread.. for main dinner catch of the day was the halibut we added the lemon crap topping and the Crab cakes. which were by far the best I have ever had.. Even the side dished were so great that we couldn't get enough.. Everything was soo fresh, I couldn't get enough of it.. Everything was fabulous and delicious I can't wait to go back and try some more wonderful dishes. read more

I don't usually take the time to write Yelp reviews, but Jerry's is an exception. As someone who travels frequently, I count on Yelp to help find restaurants during my trips. Jerry's came highly recommended and rightfully so. As soon as we walked in the door, Jerry introduced himself and welcomed us into his restaurant. After mentioning that this was our first time visiting, the wait staff offered us sample dishes which were quite good. The food was awesome and came out very promptly. Great food, great staff, and great people! read more

You walk in and are greeted with samples of fish which is their fried haddock. If this is your first time here they will bring you sample of kale and stewed tomatoes. The kale is the best I ever ate. I ordered the haddock and my father in law had the pork chop. Both were cooked perfectly. Oysters a fresh out of the river about ten minutes from Jerry's place. read more

Like others we hit this on our way back from Calvert Cliffs. Loved it. They bring you samplers of kale (meh), tomatoes (interesting), haddock (yum) and for my spouse who order the crab soup a small taste of what was to come. I enjoyed the crab cake sandwich but for those with food magnets on your clothes these seem to fall apart but yummy. Daughter enjoyed her haddock sandwich too. Key Line pie was fabulous. Ladies' room was well stocked (e.g. Besides feminine hygiene products they had hair spray, floss, etc.). Service was friendly and fast. Will definitely go back read more

Jerry's has been great everytime we've had it whether carry out or dine in. You will most often be greeted or at least checked in on by Jerry himself and that personal touch of service contributes to the overall experience. read more

I had my first soft shell crabs here, and I wasn't disappointed. Haddock, stewed tomatoes, and kale are also tasty. There were fresh oysters too, if you are into that. The only downside is the platters are a bit on the expensive side ($25-30). read more

Great food and service!! I had the crab cake, cole slaw and a baked potato. It was all delicious! My family had the salmon, fried oysters, applesauce, kale and beer battered haddock. Everything was great, we will definitely be back. read more

Fabulous food..lovingly prepared and served in a lntimate family atmosphere..well worth drive from dc even..certainly from solomons..jerry is a treasure..old fashioned restauranteur read more

They do seafood the way it was meant to be done, clean and not smothered in sauces or too many spices. Even though it's a bit pricier than other local seafood restaurants, you get more than your monies worth. If you love Maryland crab soup, this is the place - topped with succulent lump crab meat. From the most perfect softshells (try them topped with lump crab meat) to the fresh baked rolls, he doesn't disappoint. The kale is perfection and he wasn't shy about sharing his recipe. Jerry is a people person and treats you like you were a guest in his home. Menu samples are a given for first time patrons, and if you go more than twice you will be remembered. Don't be put off by the location. Every penny not put into paying for a water view is obviously put into the ingredients, the experienced cooks, and the excellent wait staff. If you are a seafood lover, you'll go back. read more

The food is excellent but definitely overpriced. Paid $30+ for six scallops, fries and applesauce. It's the only seafood place in the area so it has that going for it, but Jerry thinks a little too highly for his food. read more

Wow what a great find. First off it's a cozy place and the owners even waiting on tables. They go over the specials which is nice because this time of year you don't have much in season. They bring out a bunch of little sample even the base for the soups. What is this a whole foods. The prices are a tad high but you can see why as the fish was extremely fresh not frozen. All the food we had was good minus the fries. Those I can tell where frozen and very meh. The one thing I would say is double check when subbing out sides because they up charged $3.50 for a side of fries and for what they where and the price of the sandwich kinda of nickel and dimmed. $17 for a crab cake sandwich and you add $3.50 for fries come on now. Sometimes I hate knowing to much about financials in the food industry but that shouldn't be an up charge. Any way the carb was delicious and service was good. If your in the area give it a whirl. read more

Amazing Food, amazing service, amazing owner. Jerry is alway there to greet you and make sure that you were are a amazing experience at his restaurant. Food is out of this world. read more

jerry is the best great dinner will eat here again..my what a special man been around for ever i'll be back...sandy bonanni

This was our first time here. AND. IT. WAS. AMAZING. I'll just tell you the comments around our table - "this is the best haddock ever" "I cannot believe how good is this crab cake. The best I ever had" "this is the best apple sauce..." " these stewed tomatoes are amazing". And the conversation continues about it while driving back home about how good this place it is and planning our return. Expensive? Not really. It's the best seafood and fish in southern Maryland, great taste and quality, superb service, greeted by the owner, wonderful atmosphere, ... you will pay more elsewhere for less. Thank you, Jerry. We will be back. read more

Very good food and an owner manager that knows what real service is. Always puts a smile on my face when I go in, first the excellent service and then delicious food read more

It was top notch service if it's your first time you are able to get free samples. The owner is usualy there he's lovely and the waiters are lovely. The food is delishes they have so many choices. read more

Just had the best crab cake and soft shell crab ever! The entrees are great but don't miss the sides.

Fantastic seafood, better service. Had oysters on the half shell, fried shrimp, crab cakes, kale and stewed tomatoes. Everything was freshly made and we had unbelievable service from Jerry and his grandson. Worth the trip. read more

Great food. Crab cakes and banana split pie is delicious. Great service. Great atmosphere

Hands down the best crab cake sandwich ice ever had. I grew up in MD and have had my share of crab, but this one takes the cake. Even the service was great. Both owners came to our table and said hi. One of them even took my boyfriend in the back kitchen to show him the crabs they use when he heard it was our first time there. They gave us 3 sample items too at no additional charge. We will definitely make this a regular spot we stop at each time we are headed toward the bay. read more

I have lived in the area for over a year and never knew this place was here....tragic. The food was amazing and the service was exceptional! The place is easy to over look sitting next to a tire shop, every time I would drive by I always thought it was a fish market and not a restaurant but I'm clueless. From the moment we sat down we were given samples of the menu to try, and they were super understanding and accommodating to my rambunctious 2 year old. Now the food.....I ordered the haddock and crab cake meal that came with 2 sides. I ordered the stewed tomatoes and collard greens as my sides. Every aspect of my meal was delightful. They give you a large portion so it was good both times I ate it. The crab cake is true to their claim of being the best in Maryland. It is all crab and no filler and I want another right now. The fact that when I walked out of the place I didn't feel like a whale was a miracle since I ate so much. But still I felt great. read more

This is the most southern Maryland charm you can get in a restaurant. Jerrys place is a delicious restaurant that really makes you feel like you're part of the family. Jerry jr and the chef walk around and really care about what you have to say. They'll take the time out if their day to share tips, give advice, and her to know you. As soon as you walk in samples are brought to your table. I didn't think I liked kale until I tried the sample that met me at the table. The crab cakes are so good and have absolutely no filler. All of the sides are delicious. I couldn't turn my nose up at any of the food. We came in for a birthday and the birthday girl got a free dessert compliments of Jerry. This small restaurant that's next to a tire shop has much more to offer than meets the eye, if you're in the area I highly highly recommend stopping here. read more

Jerry's is a very friendly family owned place with solid, unambitious coastal cuisine. It's not cheap eating here, but the service is ultra attentive and the food is fresh, and filling once the free apps are figured in (the staff was constantly giving us stewed tomatoes, bread, sauteed kale, and deep-fried Icelandic haddock "bites"). The crab dip was a big hit at our table. I enjoyed a tomato-based crab/vegetable chowder topped with a pile of lump crab meat, and a wedge salad w/ bleu cheese. Will definitely return the next time I am in town. read more

Best crab cake in Southern Maryland, hands down. For those who have commented negatively on the crab cakes, I think they just must not know what good Maryland crab cakes should taste like. If you want a deep fried, filler-filled cake, head over to Stoney's. read more

Went to Jerry's for my FIRST time today for lunch and it was wonderful! The friendly service was top notch and the food was delicious. I got the oyster and crab imperial for an appetizer and the crab cake entree. The crab cake is all crab and no filler and the oysters were perfect. Try and save room for homemade dessert, which changes on a daily basis so be sure to ask for the desert special, the peanut butter pie is divine. read more
