This place has everything! It was really good! The service was great and fast even when they were extremely busy on a Friday night! The environment is good! A little loud but it's a good size restaurant! They have a really good salad bar! I wish they were able to accommodate shellfish allergies a little better because I'd love to try something other than a salad! But again my family loved their meal! read more

I was very excited to try this place since I just moved to the area but it was not what I was expecting from a steakhouse. When u walk in, u get the age of this steakhouse, it's a little bit out of date but it gets the job done. First thing of all, my steak was waaaayyyyy too overcooked. They did remake it and cooked it perfectly, but it was lacking flavor. I was happy I ordered a lot of sides and appetizers. The wings had a nice crunch but could have used more seasoning to elevate them. The hushpuppies were decent, though a bit dry for my taste. The mozzarella sticks were satisfying, especially when dipped in marinara, but nothing extraordinary. Overall, the onion petals stole the show with their crispy texture and flavorful seasoning, making them a highlight of the meal. read more

I didn't get her name, but we had the sweetest waitress. Ordered the grilled scallops and sirloin tips. Both were cooked perfectly and the salad bar had a good variety. A place I would definitely return to. read more

The buffet was all cold and a greasy mess. Pass on it. I was surprised the previous positive comments

The food is awesome and especially the catfish fillet And Steaks are great and the Salad Bar is awesome. I don't think you can go wrong eating at Jerome read more

It was busy but .. it took 40 minutes to get our food and it was bland and cold. We asked for take out trays to take our food home to warm it up. The waitress was good and afraid she would be blamed for our food being cold. I paid 89.61 for 3 meals and when I paid and told them how I felt I was told that it was a large party of people to blame for our food taking so long and that for our eating there for 22 years with no complaints I should be happy that this was the first complaint I had. We won't be going back. The lady at the counter was rude and obtuse. I really don't know how they keep her there with the kind of attitude that she had. I was totally disgusted with her. read more

Ordered a steak blackened. The steak looked like it had been boiled and seasoning thrown on the top after, and definitely was not a blackened season. Steak had old meat taste and was tough. They brought out another steak and it was the same way. The shrimp and fish were cold. The hush puppies were overcooked. Baked potatoes were brown inside from overcooking. The food was absolutely gross. Will never go back. read more

Went on Sunday afternoon for their buffet. The food that they had on the bar was very good. The only thing bad was they ran out of banana pudding. Which is the main reason I go there. Which is the reason for the 3 stars. read more

A lot to unpack here... first I have to say that our waitress was the sweetest lady in the entire world! We came at peak dinner time and surprisingly did not have to wait at all to be seated. They absolutely have the best hush puppies I've ever had in my life. They were supposed to be included with the seafood platters, but we had to order a basket and keep reminding our waitress about them because they did not come out when the platters were served. You can tell they're made in house, super hot and fresh. I'm not a huge fan of fried fish, but I wanted to have seafood since it is a seafood restaurant. I can't recommend the Shrimp fettuccini. In total, it had 5 of the tiniest shrimps ever. It was disappointing because I expected more from a primarily seafood place. The bread that came with it was unfortunately not toasted, so it was just soft and soggy. The sauce had a good flavor and it was served hot. The shrimp were also uncleaned, which made it hard for me to keep my appetite once I noticed. I don't know if I would choose to come back here, but I will note that the rest of my group was very happy with their fried fish platters and salad bar trip. read more

Jerome's Steak & Seafood - Shrimp fettuccine - Seafood Near Me - Shallotte, North Carolina

The only thing good that I can say about Jerome's is that the salad bar is great! We were there before July 4, and three of us ordered the blackened grilled chicken breast. When our food came out it was definitely chicken thighs instead. When I told the waitress about it. She did go back to the kitchen and ask the cook and came back and told us that it was thighs. I don't like thighs, so I told her just to bring me a cheeseburger without fries. When we left we complained to the lady who is the manager, whom is Jerome's sister. She argued with us that they didn't serve chicken thighs. I told her that our waitress said they were thighs. Then she calls out our waitress, and causes a big commotion. She went back into the kitchen to talk to the cook, and comes back to tell us that they were indeed thighs because they had run out of breast! Then they charged me full price for my meal!!! # 1- The customer is always right, don't argue with them! # 2- If a customers meal is not right, comp it, so they will come back! # 3- If you don't have what the customer orders, tell them and let them order something else! # 4- Apologize to the customer!!! No apologies were ever offered! We have been dining at Jerome's for the past 30 years, but after this we will not be coming back!!! Their business has been dwindling, after this I certainly understand why!!! read more

I stopped here for the Sunday buffet, I wasn't expecting much because of the reviews, and this place lives up to the mediocre reviews. Food was okay, I can't say that it was terrible except for the fried fish which tasted bad, it was just a lot of very bland and boring food items. The best thing was probably the peel and each shrimp, they were a decent size and weren't cooked to rubber like most places do. The fried Chicken was okay, wasn't the best I've had but certainly wasn't the worst. There was a pretty long line to get in when I got here, although I did arrive when the church crowds were probably letting out. The service here was good, the waitresses are very friendly and helpful. The price for the buffet is $14, which actually isn't too bad considering they had good quality shrimp on the buffet. Would I go back? Probably not. read more

Jerome's Steak & Seafood - people in a restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Shallotte, North Carolina

Food was absolutely awful. Initially cold, then came back greasy. Waitress was wonderful and did the best she could, but the higher ups didn't seem to care too much about the missteps. First time, last time for me at that place read more

Love this place for good ol' home cooking! The best fried chicken! No joke! Service is great too! read more

Two of us had the buffet, one had the shrimp dinner, and one had the kids chicken tenders. Fried chicken was very good, chicken gizzards and livers were fair. Veggies were basic. Salad bar is very limited. They had a self-serve soft ice cream machine and two cobbler options. The fried shrimp was overcooked as were most of the hushpuppies. All the food was just mediocre at best. Based on our visit last year, the consensus is the food was much better. Service was average. read more

Have to leave at least one star. Not a fan. Menu says meal comes with a yeast roll. Nope. Texas toast. Steak was thin and fatty. They didn't have New York strip when we were there. Just too much money for the quality of food. read more

Large portions and great salad bar. Menu has something for everyone. Great customer service.

I have to say we have been going to Jerome's for 5+years. During that time we have enjoyed the seafood, ribs and steak, the cat fish is 2nd to none; just delicious. Today my sister got an order to bring home. I wanted a grilled chicken salad, well I will never order the salad again for the following reasons( 1. Lettuce was not fresh, had several pieces that were black, 2. The other vegetables were not fresh3. The chicken was overcooked and was cooked in old oil. I was so disappointed and surprised at one of our favorite restaurants. read more

They need to learn how to cook a steak or prime rib as ordered. You ask for medium rare you get medium almost medium well. Ask for medium you get medium well almost well done. read more

It's the best salad buffet n the area, steaks and seafood, too. Highly recommend. Great service.

food was great our waitress Olivia was always checking to make sure everything was good an we where had what we needed

I order BBQ and slaw from Jerome's every year for our festival in Sunset Beach. Always delicious and a best seller. Next year we must order more! Thank you Jerome. read more

Sunday Buffet was sooo wonderful and the food was hot fresh and delicious. Fantastic service. And the fact they open at 10:30 in time to eat right after early church service was definitely a plus!! read more

I haven't visited Jerome's in years. I know it's been over 10 years. I saw their Facebook post about their lunch buffet on Fridays and Saturdays. So, I decided to check them out. I'm glad I did. The food was delicious, hot and fresh. The servers are all nice. I will definitely be back for lunch. I'm going to stop by for dinner as well. There menu looks good. I recommend this place to everyone. read more

Several tiny ants were crawling on our table. A roach crawled over my future DIL's fork. It was mid-August, on a Saturday evening, had a 10 minute wait, and we were seated in the glass roof area by the windows. Maybe all restaurants are battling bugs this time of year? My son order the filet mignon and shrimp. The steak that came was tough and had fat on it... absolutely not the $29.99 cut of meat he expected. Also he ordered it medium rare - it came out very definitely well done. Not even close to medium rare. The fried shrimp was okay, hush puppies were meh, the fried scallops were soggy. The server was kind but he only smiled once after we made it our mission to make him. This restaurant was recommended by a local. Maybe it was good back in the day, but not today. read more

We arrived a found a very nice staff. Kinda worried because we didnt find the restaurant we were looking for but this one looked good. I ordered the seafood deluxe and wife ordered the shrimp plate. The whole seafood plate was great. I've had better, but for $18.99 you cant beat it. We took 2 boxes of left overs home. Great service , great prices for a large family. An awesome find. read more

I ordered a 10 oz rib eye and 7 oz was all fat. The steak was not even good and the salad was basic. I don't recommend. Also the server yelled at me to take something and everything was trash. read more

Had dinner Thursday evening around 8:00 PM and ordered a 12 Oz Ribeye to which was about 6 Oz's of pure fat. No bake potatoes available and no yeast rolls which on the menu stated came with the meal. The waitress seemed a little frustrated with my coming in at 8:00 PM as they close at 9:00PM. She may simply have been tired. Service was fair. The steak had a good flavor but like I said had too much fat. I only could eat about half. I'll likely eat here again but I will not order a steak again. For $28.00 you would expect a better steak and what is advertised on the menI. read more

Jerome's has one of the best lunch buffets in the area, great assortment of salad, foods and desserts . The price can't be beat for Sunday lunch at only $10.99, most other restaurants mark up their Sunday brunch prices. Extremely clean restaurant with excellent service. read more

Outdated, somewhat dirty, hot, messy restaurant. Certainly nothing to recommend to anyone. All the buffet food is warmed up can goods.

Even if the food was awful, which it wasn't, I'd give this place 5 STARS for the customer service alone! The food was great, I got the crab legs. You get so much for the money! The salad bar was amazing! Vicky was incredible. It's like she could read our minds! Never had to ask for anything! Will definitely return when I'm back in the area. read more

The service was friendly. Jerome's is a staple in the area. But at best, it's just ok. Not bad. Not great. The food is just ok.

So my mom and I went here because we thought I looked good!! We got seated rather quickly but sat there for 15 minutes before someone even got our drink order. The food was horrible I ordered the filet mignon with shrimp and was suppose to come with a yeast roll... when the food came out I got what appeared to be a ribeye steak that was almost all fat and the shrimp which was suppose to be grilled was under cooked and the steak was cold!! I asked the waitress to take it back and she did so with out a blink of an eye and the steak also came with Texas toast instead of a yeast roll!! The costumer service was great the food how ever was sub par!! The price for the filet was $28 and it's not even the right cut of meat thankfully the waitress was able to take $10 off the price but at that point I could've just stayed home to cook a crappy cut of meat on my own grill read more

This place does not impress on the outside...but the service is great and the food is very good, especially considering the prices. This is a local restaurant and I've found a lot of locals eat here. My wife and I have had steaks and seafood and neither of us have ever been disappointed. I highly recommend you give it a try! read more

Sadly I took guests there this evening and although the service was above and Beyond the call of waitresses, the food was badly prepared. Apparently their primr rib is precooked and microwaved, but this came out ice cold and the same with the crab legs Cooked but ice cold. The kitchen staff needs to be reviewed for competence read more

This place is soo tired and out dated. They need to rip out the insides, and just start over. The food and staff are like the building tired and greasy. Such a shame...so close to some of the best seafood on the east coast...Little of this great seafood seems to make it to this place! read more

Everything we ordered was good. Nice old school salad bar. All items ordered were hefty portions read more

First time here. Prime rib was disappointing for $ 20.99 or any price . Tastes like it was old. Salad bar ok. Fast to get my plate. But slow to get my check. The place is very outdated. read more

We went for my wife's birthday on 07/29/23. After a 35 minute wait we were seated. Looking at the menu we realized everything was priced about five dollars more than online prices. We asked the waitress about it and she stated they have had about three price hikes but they never seem to correct it online. We ordered our food and after a 65 minute wait it finally came to the table. Both plates were cold. My wife ordered beef tips and baked potatoe. The potatoe was so cold that the butter would not melt and we still do not know what the beef tips actually were. It was some type of meat burnt on both sides and cold. My wife had to send it back. Her next plate had the same beeftips but the potatoe was half done so she was able to eat the cooked part. My plate was catfish and baked potatoe. The catfish was cold and the baked potatoe was warm on the bottom so I ate that part. Let me say these plates were my no means large servings. When our bill came we saw we were charged a eighteen per cent tip. I left a tip on the table. When checking out I told the cashier I had left a tip on the table but I would not be paying an eighteen per cent tip for long wait time and bad food. She told me they had signs up they were short staffed but she did take the tip off although she was not happy about it. My wife took the beef tips home and threw them away. I wished I had know all this beforehand. read more

My family hired Jerome's steak and seafood to cater our daughters wedding. Both families and the guests couldn't be more happy. The food was delicious, hit and plentiful. We catered for 100 guests max. But when more than that showed up, they took care of business. There was plenty of food and drinks for everyone . I would recommend them for whatever occasion you have. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Frank and his buddy were awesome. Thank you guys so much for helping us make our daughters day that much more special read more

BEST hushpuppies around! Fried shrimp is delicious. Oh, and the Crablegs...ahhhh. Great staff too!
