    I love Jerry's Bar and come here every other month or so, but this was my first time for dinner (although I have been for happy hour apps). I ordered the white mussels. Normally, I love these but this time they were way too garlicky. The short ribs weren't great but they were fine. My boyfriend and friends loved the green salad, wings, spicy tune rice crisps and the burger. All of our cocktails were very yummy Our waitress Sarah was attentive and kind. I did not love our seat squished in the back, but when the table next to us left, the waitress let us pull their table into ours so we had much more space. I will definitely be back, but maybe not on a Sunday. I think busier nights might have a better chef.

    People are sleeping on the French toast burger foreal. Sure you can’t finish it in one sitting but then you have the other half for the best breakfast ever.
