Jerry's Food, Wine and Spirits

Had an amazing dinner for our 20th anniversary. Thank you Jerry’s for making it special.

Absolutely sensationally delicious. If I could give it 20 stars, I would. It feels like a Michelin rated restaurant. Beet app (Wow), Flounder and Tuna entree both amazing. Service impeccable. Prices fair when you consider the quality.

We had been hearing about how phenomenal Jerry’s is and our first time there didn’t disappoint! We highly recommend the food and service! One of the members of our party has life-threatening food allergies and the entire staff was accommodating. Our waitress and the kitchen staff had left notes on the menu about what they could and could not eat based on their allergies. Our family had an excellent meal and enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant. The food is exquisite. The incredibly fresh ingredients pair well with the extensive wine and cocktail menu. The cherry on top is the friendliness of the entire staff. You will not be disappointed with your experience at Jerry’s!

Jerry’s food, staff and service are beyond compare. Exceptional on all levels. My husband and I used Jerry’s to cater our intimate wedding 3 weeks ago. We live 900 miles away and I never worried for one moment that Elise and her staff would have everything done to perfection. From the moment I first spoke to Elise, I knew that this was THE place to cater the most important day of our lives. Elise was quick to respond to my initial inquiry and had an immediate grasp on what I was looking for - from the menu, the ambiance, and the overall “feeling” of the dinner/reception/experience. She was adamant and reassuring at all times that no request was out of the question, and that this was “our day” and they would handle everything we needed: linens, silverware, flowers, alcohol, set-up, clean-up, etc. We had the reception at our friend’s home and Jerry’s assured, and delivered, on their promise to leave the kitchen in better shape than they found it. They even took the garbage with them and packed and labeled all leftovers and stacked them in the fridge (SO glad that we were able to enjoy another amazing meal the next day!). The food is the freshest and highest quality. Jerry’s clearly takes absolute pride in that and does not cut corners. The skill, creativity and quality in preparation are first class and worthy of a Michelin Star restaurant (we live in Chicago area and dine frequently at some of the finest restaurants in the city/country/world). The professionalism, thoughtfulness, attention to detail, quality, skill, and genuine authenticity of Elise and her staff - (shout out to Christian & Jaya!) - contributed so greatly to the amazing success, fun, & love that surrounded our wedding reception. We are planning on recreating the whole night on our first anniversary, and of course dining in the restaurant each time we visit Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach.

The seafood was locally sourced and perfectly prepared. I decided on the scallops and risotto, and it was outstanding. The other people in my group had the flounder and grouper and raved about their dinners. We sat at the bar and the service was impeccable. The company I took is coming back in town next week and the first thing they requested was to make reservations at Jerry’s!!!

I do not usually write reviews but I have to share that everything tonight was perfect. From the time I opened the door to be met with a friendly face to the time we left. The service, the bartender, and everyone else was awesome!! We had 4 people in our group and everyone enjoyed there meal. I had the special of the night, mahi. It was wonderful! My husband and his brother had filet Mignon. Awesome! My sister-n-law had the scallops. Best I ever had! Yes, I tried them all. I also had a lemon martini and others. They were so good! The bartender actually came to our table which i thought was awesome! Everyone there was so friendly and helpful! I will be honest this is one of my favorite places to go. I have lived not far from wilmington my whole life and can not tell you why I have never been here. So thank you to everyone that served us tonight at Jerry’s. This place is a must if you are in the Wilmington/ Wrightsville Beach area!!!

Most excellent dinner and service. We shared the Imperial lump crabmeat appetizer- impeccable. I had the seared scallops cooked perfectly while my husband enjoyed the chateaubriand. Our server, Clara was well-versed on the menu and food came in a timely fashion, despite the restaurant being at capacity on a Saturday night. Reservations recommended.

Been in Wilmington for 8 years first visit.The restaurant & staff were excellent.Because of it small size you are actually able to carry on a conversation with the person you’re with. It was my 75th birthday so I order Chateaubriand because I never had before and wife had Goat cheese grouper. They where both excellent.Nice special occasion dinner

My fiancé and I went to Jerry’s to celebrate our anniversary and we were absolutely blown away by how delicious everything was. It was very obvious that the menu was carefully curated and executed. Top standard! Our server Dan was awesome. And Big Cat’s Pot de Crème was to die for!!

The best restaurant in the world! The Chefs, Jaya and Christian, are culinary geniuses, and Elise ensures guests have a wonderful experience. Jerry's stays true to the classics, but keeps it fun for our hardworking Chefs and their unique dishes. As a server there, I have had the chance to see just how wonderful this business really is. It is truly a Wilmington staple.

Was there Thursday, Aug. 29, 2019. Great atmosphere and amazing food! We requested broiled seafood platter (which wasn’t on the menu), instead of fried. They graciously accommodated our request. It was the best seafood we’ve ever had! Kudos to the chef! Looking forward to our next visit there. Would be nice if they had an ocean view but the food is so worth the tradeoff!

Superb service, food, and atmosphere! An evening at Jerry’s is a MUST when I’m in town. The new chef has made a tremendous impact. I had the special; pan fried red drum over Carolina gold rice with local lions mane mushrooms, dandelion greens, and the best chow chow pan sauce. WILL BE BACK!

From the outside the sign is faded ,no curb appeal in fact it’s hard to tell what business it is and if they’re open. when you go in the decor is confusing and not very inviting. BUT THE FOOD IS TO “LIVE” FOR. the menu is small ,something for everyone. We ‘ve never been disappointed .Nice waiters / waitresses.Even the mixed drinks my husband raves about. always leave happy . I highly recommend this place.

A wonderful surprise. We had no idea such a nice place was hiding in this unpretentious strip plaza. Every single thing was delicious. We managed to walk in and get a table but you should really make reservations and where something nice. If you want to impress someone take them to Jerry's.

Such an amazing place with delicious food and wonderful wait staff. The food is always cooked perfectly and the people are so nice, which makes eating out such a much more enjoyable experience. Make reservations, as they do fill up, but definitely check this place out. PS. Try the cheesecake! ;)

Great experience. Fabulous food and the service was spot on. Wonderful ambience made it easy to have a conversation. They have never disappointed!

This place has been on my list of places to eat for a long time. From the drinks to dessert, everything was delicious. The filet mignon was like butter in my mouth. Food was great, service was wonderful.

Since we moved permanently to Wilmington 9 months ago this was absolutely the best meal we’ve had, and we’ve eaten at all of the highly rated restaurants . All 5 persons in our party felt the same way. Outstanding!

I've been going to Jerrys for years. NEVER had a bad meal there. Friendly staff good service. Soft crabs to die for. If they are not in season I usually just order the special and have never been disappointed

Food was great, drinks were perfect, service was awesome. We didn't have reservations, but they accommodated us with full service seating at the bar. A very enjoyable evening.

Friends and I celebrated a birthday at Jerry's last night. The minute we walked in the door we were welcomed, even by fellow diners. The food was delicious...a five star experience!

One of my favorites. Amazing food, drinks, service and always good music playing. The atmosphere is always low key, romantic and soft lighting

Awesome food and wonderful service.

Great meal. We ordered the tuna with lump crab and halibut. Cooked perfectly! Right sized portions.

Delicious food. Great drinks. Lively and very fun Friday night dinner! Thanks for making a birthday celebration even more special!

Absolutely great, from service to food. We had grouper special and red drum, both were excellent. Never disappointed.

One of the best restaurants in town. Always love when we are able to eat here. Great date spot!

What a delightful find! We had a late reservation and then arrived late because the bridge was up. No problem for these guys as they treated us like guests. Food was fabulous. They didn't have the wine I first chose, but they came back with a recommendation that was actually similar and in the same price range. Felt like they knew what they were doing! And I appreciated it. This one goes on the list.

Visiting from out of town and decided to check out this place. Service was excellent and everything we tried was phenomenal (from soup/salad to the scallops). We will definitely be making the trip out here anytime we are in Eastern NC!

It's hard to believe we haven't been to this place. We've been in the area a couple of years and tried many restaurants but had not visited what is now our favorite. We had friends telling us how good it was and now we know. Someone had posted that the shrimp cocktail was the best they ever had and I would have to agree. we also had the crab appetizer and it was wonderful. For dinner at our table we had the awesome filet, the grouper dish that was so nice, and I had the horse radish tuna. All were amazing. Lindsay took care of us and she made our dinner so special. I promise we will be back soon. This place has moved up to our number 1 spot in Wilmington.

This was, by far, the best shrimp cocktail we've ever had! The entire menu looked amazing so we will definitely be back. We sat at the small bar and Elise was extremely attentive and provided phenomenal service. We can't wait until next time! Highly recommend!

Finally got the chance to try Jerry's this evening after years of hearing wonderful reviews. The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were excellent. We loved our dishes and enjoyed our waitress as well as the welcoming staff. We can't wait to bring friends along next time to share this cozy atmosphere and delicious food!

A cozy restaurant that has been around for years in Wrightsville Beach. The dining room was very busy and vibrant. A lot of regulars and big groups. It is not a quiet romantic place, if that is what you are looking for. The tuna tartare was amazing, full of tuna, vegetables and served with crispy wonton chips that added a little salt. The sauce was a little sweet and salty Asian flavor. My duck breast was seared nicely on the skin but a little chewy to eat. It was served with crispy gnocchi, kale and a sweet/tart pomegranate sauce. Unfortunately, it was just warm as well. I had entree envy with my husband's dish of seared scallops over parmesan risotto with spinach and tomatoes. The scallops were sweet and juicy. The risotto had the perfect seasoning level and was piping hot, even still hot halfway through the dish. I really like hot food. We ended with a cherry vanilla creme brulee. It had a thick crispy top and full of large cherries on the bottom. It was softer than I expected. Not a custard type filling but looser. The flavor was still wonderful. This restaurant is definitely worth a stop on special occasion.

The food and service was exceptional. The menu needs to be updated because prices were much more than on the website.

I was pleasantly surprised. The steak isn't what you would get at Ruth's Chris steakhouse but it was very good nonetheless. How our waiter, Tom was excellent!

The entrees are good. It way overpriced. I’m from New York and I found it way too high for what you get.

The outside leaves much to be desired, but inside was pleasantly surprised. Cloth napkins and tablecloths, fresh flowers on the table. I will include I took my 5 month old and one of my friends I was in North Carolina to see. I ordered the Seared Tuna, whatever was below the tuna was very bland and tasteless. Tuna was a huge chunk and did not taste so great. I did like the asparagus slaw on top although didn't taste like cilantro as described. (I don't like to complain I just review and don't return) 5 month old began to fuss... Servers asked the table next to us if they would like desert and asked how their meal was. We didn't get either courtesy! They were quick to get us out of there with the baby. If you have children don't go, also avoid the seared Tuna.

Disappointing. My brother in law was excited for his birthday dinner. Unfortunately we visited jerry's on Sunday night, when evidently they are just running down inventory. Because they were out of everything!!! They had to go next door to get ginger ale. My sister went across the street to get straws. No pineapple juice for a martini. The server tried...but he was woefully unprepared. Every question we asked, he had to go ask someone in the back. We ordered an appetizer (3 times), he even stated that he gave it to the cook. After our main course arrived, he forgot to put in the order. They ended up giving us the appetizer. The servers excuse for everything was that the store closes on Monday, Tuesday, so they don't have adequate stock on Sunday. It won't matter for me...I am not interested in trying this restaurant again.

Food was good, service not so much. Felt like a dish was practically thrown at us then server said “ here you go” and walked off. I think more than $100 bill deserves kindness, decent customer service. Won’t be back. Where do they find these people

Horrible management. They were extremely rude and arrogant towards others. I would have rather interacted with Cruella Deville herself than these people.
