The outside appearance belies a culinary treasure. I highly, highly, highly recommend the rosemary lamb tenderloins. I don't even like lamb (but I sure do love meat) and it absolutely blew me away. The service is friendly and accommodating without being fake or overbearing. I can't recommend the food here enough. I've eaten here a few times now over the last two years, and the menu is very unassuming and consistent. The interior is small and intimate. I would make reservations during peak dinner hours. This is fine dining without the pomp. read more

Delicious food with thoughtful service. Our dinner at Jerry's was outstanding. Crab-stuffed flounder, horseradish-crusted tuna, and the grouper special were all excellent. The new chef at this local favorite is doing a wonderful job. Jerry's was a highlight of our visit to Wrightsville Beach. read more

Always friendly staff! Nice ambience for a date or taking a business partner out for a nice meal. Have been here a few times now and it never fails to please. Couldn't go wrong with anything on the menu! Big fan of the vanilla bean cheesecake for desert too!!!! read more

Had dinner yesterday evening at Jerry's and had an overwhelmingly pleasant experience. The service was fantastic and the food was delicious. Although the entrees took a little longer than expected we throughly enjoyed everything. I had the soft shell crab which was divine, and my friend had the horseradish tuna which was so tasty I had to steal more than a couple bites. Our server, Kathy went above and beyond! We can't wait to come back! read more

Have to agree with the rest, food and service was excellent. Therefore I will comment on another aspect of this highly admired restaurant. We were impressed with the professionalism that was everywhere in this place. The folks working here are food service professionals, not kids waiting tables until their ship comes in. Just watching them break down a 4 top and making it into 2 deuces in the middle of a busy Friday night, it was obvious that this is a well run place from top to bottom. Well done, Jerry! read more

LOVE this place. Never had a bad meal. Locally owned & operated, the menu is always new & creative. Better get a reservation. :)

What a great surprise! Small restaurant in a strip center, very unassuming from the street. The warmest of welcomes and great attentive service. Most entrees offered as "half portion" were very generious. The food.... Very well prepared, as ordered, excellent ingredients and nicely plated. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

Best meal in Wilmington to date! Impeccable service, quality food. Brie appetizer was to die for. We will be back!

Wow is all I can say. If you haven't been here you are missing one of the best seafood spots in town.

The burgers are amazing and the prices are fabulous and they did a good job on the hand made shakes.

Jerry's is an Old School Restaurant located on the right before you cross over the drawbridge to Wrightsville Beach. The service is excellent and their locally sourced Seafood is superb and they have a varying menu of delicious Hors D'eurves using fresh Shellfish. Try the Lambchops or Crab stuffed Flounder or choose from their excellent wine selection. read more

Definitely a well run business! The food, service, and efficiency is all top notch. One of my favorites was the 1/2 orders of dinners - the menu options are so enticing so with 1/2 orders available, it was fun for each of us to order an appetizer (almost a dinner portion itself!) as well as a 1/2 order of a main course. The Cajun little necks were spectacular, as was the quail appetizer. And, their spin on surf and turf pasta was spot on. You can't go wrong here. read more

Wonderful dinner!! Great wine selections! Delicious all crab stuffed fresh flounder, buttermilk mash, fresh asparagus w lemon burre blanc! Also shared the blackened scallops appetizer! Easy to have conversation! Great for a birthday celebration!! read more

I'm keeping it short this time. Eat here and you will not be disappointed. This is a must stop on every trip to Wilmington.

A most enjoyable dining experience. My wife and I were celebrating her birthday. We each started off with the special soft-shell crab appetizer. I ordered a full-portion goat cheese crust grouper and she a half-portion yellowfin tuna. Like the appetizer, both were excellent choices and well prepared. For desert, there was a complimentary vanilla bean cheesecake, the smoothest and best cheesecake I'ver ever tried. The wine list is varied and well priced. We ordered a St. Francis merlot, which was perfect. The server was friendly and exceptionally accommodating. read more

Slightly hidden in a strip center on the right, just before you reach the Wrightsville Beach bridge is Jerry's Food Wine and Spirits. My wife and I love to go there on a date night or with friends. Excellent wine selection, great chops and steaks and the absolute best "warm lump crab cocktail" you have ever eaten. Fabulous place, small and friendly and a gem for most of us who know about it!! read more

Jerry's food is fine dining at Wilmington's best without any kind of pretentious vibe. The servers are usually a hoot if you have a desire to be entertained. If not, they'll keep it professional. Best steak in town - filet!!! Their daily specials are delicious. I know the reason why locals want to keep this gem a secret... read more

Appetizer portions are definitely meant for 2 people. We had a group of 7 and only ordered a few apps....wish we had known the portions were smaller. Not a big deal though. The food is delicious, service was good. I had the duck breast, which was divine. I will definitely be back. read more

Consistent quality and service for decades with an excellent ambiance. Wonderful tuna and other seafood along with pork, beef, and other cooked to order meals. A dining delight. Reservations are best, but we love to drop in spur of the moment at the small bar during the week. Never had a bad meal here. read more

This is hands down one of the best restaurants in Wilmington. I have been eating here for over 20 years. It's in a small space and located in an unassuming strip mall however take the chance and come here. The menu is amazing but try and order from one of the daily specials. The grouper Linda and vanilla bean cheesecake are worth the trip alone. read more

Stiff drinks and a smile from the owner Jerry. I am reluctant to write a review for this hidden space. However, I want them to get just enough attention to stay under the radar yet viable. This place is in a strip mall near a main drag that tourists clog. Yet it has not been discovered by them. Service is top notch without any pretense, the staff genuinely want you there. So does Jerry who is said to do all of the cooking. A definite adventure for date night. read more

I have dined here before, and remembered it as positively as most of the reviews here would suggest. However, from a recent visit I would have to give it a decidedly mixed review. For starters, we arrived without reservations, which seemed to concern the hostess, who then implied that she could nonetheless "see what she could do" to get us a table. As it turned out, there were plenty of empty tables in the area where we were seated, and that was the case throughout the evening! The service, while pleasant, was disconcertingly slow. The food was very good, though none of us thought it outstanding. We passed on dessert, which sounded great, only because it took so long for our waitress to return to our table that we had lost interest by then and needed to get back. Again, the food was very good, but the overall experience did not leave us wanting to come back anytime soon. read more

The service is wonderful, and Mr. Jerry and his staff are always accommodating and pleasant. The food is always SPOT ON. It's tough to find if you are not local, but it is well worth the search! read more

Best food, service, and experience I've had in a quite awhile. The Brie appetizer, surf n turf, and fried seafood were all amazing and cooked to perfection! Would definitely recommend to anyone and would be happy to make a return trip read more

I found this place on Yelp. The staff/owner were very polite and professional. Service was on point and we would def come back to this place in the future! The food was phenomenal, every bite was bursting with flavor and high quality! Very very impressed with everything we had. You have to appreciate restaurants like this nowadays!! read more

Best seafood in town! Amazing staff! Will eat here every time I'm heading to the beach!

Great small restaurant that we heard about from a new friend on the water. My husband had the basil pesto salmon and said it was the best salmon he ever tasted, the apps are varied and I could of had a meal out of several but half portions were offered on the goat chees topped grouper. The Parmesan crusted calamari were very good and served with pancetta. Our son had the yellowfin tuna mentioned in a eater review. Topped off with the chocolate fudge mousse cake not to be missed! read more

I was at a party this weekend where the food catered was from Jerry's. The grilled chicken on a stick with some type of BBQ sauce was so overcooked and dry you could have choked on it. The same was true of the sliced pork loin. There was some type of soft taco like shell with a meat stuffing that was mediocre at best. And the shrimp served cold and plain was inedible. It was definitely farm raised and had a chemical taste and had no shrimp taste at all. It was the type of shrimp you buy frozen in a grocery store for a quick shrimp cocktail where it already peeled. With all of the local shrimp available in this beach front town this is a disgrace. I purchase local shrimp right off of the boats and do know the difference. I have never eaten at Jerry's prior to this, but they did a great job of losing 20 potential customers that attended the party. read more

Don't bother. Bad attitude of staff makes thus a low quality experience. Never going back.

My husband enjoyed our delicious dinner, the service, and the serendipity of finding this nondescript restaurant in a strip mall. Who would have imagined it was equivalent to a 5 star restaurant! I had the chefs special which was fabulous. Every bite was a new experience! My husband had the filet and cleaned his plate. Our waitress was funny and well trained. I recommend this place if you have one chance to eat out in wilmington! read more

The service was poor. We arrived at 7:45, had reservations, but the waiter disappeared after greeting us and we had to ask where he was. He finally reappeared and took our order at 8:10. Food was over-prepared. Too fussy, the multitude of ingredients masked the underlying seafood. Menu from the 70's. Would not recommend. read more

We celebrated our anniversary weekend and on our last night we decided to try Jerry's and we were pleasantly surprised and impressed. Foods were so good the service was excellent. Definitely coming back when we return this fall!! read more

Excellent food and service. Top notch for the area. Very accommodating for whatever menu deviations you need for your eating style.

Does not look like much from the outside but wow, place was amazing! Ask for Ken, he's excellent and will direct you to exactly what you're looking for. I've been to the majority of restaurants in Wrightsville and this was my favorite. Diamond in the rough. read more

Great food--excellent service. Relaxed atmosphere but worthy of a special night out. Try the crab cocktail and the short ribs for a real treat! Folks with discriminating palate only. read more

I took my wife to Jerry's for her birthday and it was a complete disappointment. The dining room was freezing cold. The waitress was other than friendly and created so much wait time in between giving us the specials and when she actually came to get our order. A table seated after us had wine and bread at their table before our order was taken. When we did receive our meals she never came to check on us. The rice was underdone, the fried green beans greasy and soggy . I ordered the filet med well and it came to me med rare, the Brussel sprouts were under done and the potatoes or French fries or whatever they were supposed were just super soggy. Again we waited an exorbitant amount of time to get the check. This makes me very sad because this is where I took my daughter at age 10, now 37, to get her first shrimp cocktail and have so many other fond memories of eating at Jerry's. read more

Hidden gem near WB. Love this place, perfect for date night!

Absolutely superb. Totally enjoyable experience. If I could change one small thing, it would be in the dessert area. Home made desserts would really seal the deal read more

This place is awesome, a bit pricey so I don't eat here a lot but totally worth it when I do.

The parking lot at Jerry's is adjacent to Ceviche's...it's not even half full and there is a tow truck towing cars who are using the lot and walking over to Ceviche's. read more
