I would usually give this place 5 stars as I love their food, the atmosphere, the service, everything about it. However, the prices have sky rocketed and it's not a place I stop in to eat very often anymore because of that. If they still had the old.prices, I'd be there much more often like before!

This place is very nice experience. I believe it the oldest or 2nd oldest restaurant in Pensacola. The mullet is very good.

It was my first and most likely my last visit.I was told that the hamburger were quarter-pound patties.No way! Too small and over-cooked.

We was there around 5 pm, just a few other customers around. The food is alright, it tastes like what you would find in a cafeteria. The waiter placed our order incorrectly, but the food server was able to rectify it. Entrees cost one price and the sides are charged separately.

I’m sorry I don’t know how this place could get a favorable rating. It has been opened forever, it is nicely decorated inside with unique items, but the food is simply not good. The mashed potatoes were instant, the chicken fried steak was some heated frozen entree, the pork chop was dry, and I had to pay .20 cents for lemon, and it is actually some packet, which I thought was tacky to charge for. The staff were friendly but I go for the food, which just wasn’t good. Sorry I was excited to try this place but it’s a major one and done.Parking: Parking is behind the business.

My first and last trip to this place. Food was bland and presentation was terrible. You can keep the references about "quaint" and a Pensacola "institution". Service was useless.

Everything we ordered came out quickly and was very good. However, our server completely ruined the experience. She was rude, inattentive, and seemed more concerned with socializing than waiting on anyone dining. We had several other servers help us during our dinner. Don't know her name as she didnt tell us..but she was in all black with a neck full of Mardi gras beads. We cant fault the restaurant for her service which is why they still get 5 stars..but she made the entire time we were there really uncomfortable.

Jerry's always has been a staple! Great atmosphere, wonderful staff and home of the bacon cheeseburger!! What more could you ask for!

Cheap, frozen food with nice service in a quaint diner. Not expensive, but not worth it either. I got the fish and shrimp fried combo. The grouper was terrible. Mushy and kind of old tasting. Very obviously frozen, and very unpleasant to eat. The rest was just bland. The shrimp had no flavor, tasted like those battered shrimp they sell in supermarket frozen aisles, and oddly had the tails covered in batter. Nothing special about the French fries either - also the same you would find in the frozen aisle. Same with the hush puppies - bland and clearly made weeks in advance. And the Cole slaw had an odd, kind of old, taste to it. Service was nice. Very friendly people who clearly enjoy working here and have dedicated customers who love to come here because people love diners. Cash only - they have an ATM in the front. Maybe the burgers are good, I certainly won't try them.

The food is delicious and the service is fantastic. Will eat here again!Warning: food is MADE TO ORDER so you’ll have a little bit of a longer wait if you don’t call ahead. I didn’t know that before driving up, but I didn’t feel like the wait was too long. One of my kids got a little antsy but then he said it was worth the wait!
