Neighbourhood gem
Charming

Serving the best from North Carolina's land and sea in a warm, casual setting since 1992. Contemporary American dishes lined with classic flavors of the South. Couple your meal with a glass/bottle from our hand picked wine list featuring many Napa, Sonoma, and Oregon options, or go with a delicious hand crafted cocktail like the Hellcat Holler. Jerry's has been featured on PBS' "NC Weekend" with Bob Garner, Wilmington Today, the Wilmington Star News, and has had the pleasure of serving a sitting Vice President, Hollywood actors, pro athletes, tourists and the wonderful Wilmington community for 30 years. We look forward to serving you soon!

Excellent food and excellent service. Even had a happy birthday message on the menu. Very friendly. Two of us had their classic tuna, one person had the chateaubriand and one the short rib special. All great dinners!

Our service was excellent and our food, the best we’d eaten in the Wilmington, NC area. The only negative, the room is noisy when at capacity.
