    Dagwood B sandwich with french fries and fruit salad.
    Henry W.

    Jerry's is Lincoln Square's best kept secret when it come to enjoy good food. The sandwiches are the best and so many to select from. The staff are friendly and helpful and always make sure that the customer are having a great time. Jerry's also hosts drag queen story time, which is a thumbs up from me. I will look forward to enjoy lunch or dinner at Jerry's in the near future.

    We've been to Jerry's well over 30 times in the last six years and it's honestly one of the best restaurants in the area. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner. Great for entertaining friends or family. Wide selection of foods, everyone will find something they want with great service and a nice patio space.

    I absolutely love coming to Jerry's! We always sit at the bar and have a good chat with whoever the bartender is that day. We are always served tasty, cold beer or cocktails of our choosing. The food is always really good and comes out without too long of a wait. I honestly don't get why the reviews are so bad. We've been coming here for a few years, especially on weekdays, and I've always had a great time.

    This is one of the best spots in the neighborhood for sandwiches. It also just happens to be burger month, which means they have lots of delicious different options. They always have a good selection of beer on tap, and some good cocktails as well. The bartenders are super friendly!

    I thought this place was so cute from the outside but would not recommend and will not be going back! After ordering food it took 45 minutes to come out. Fries and Mac & Cheese sides were cold. Fries had good taste but Mac & Cheese was bland. My side of fruit was over ripened, no flavor too soft. The Beef Brisket sandwich was too chewy which made it unappetizing. My sandwich had good flavor, but the chicken salad was too chunky--which made it messy to eat. Frankly, not even in the same realm as a chicken salad, the description should be changed. Only spoke with our waiter when we ordered, never saw him once after, had to flag down another waitress to pay our check. Atmosphere was very loud.

    Sat at the bar and had great service with the bartender. The draft beer selective is massive and is expansive. The sandwich was delicious but the star of the show were the sides. I dream about the mashed potatoes with poblano gravy and can't wait to go back.

    My friend and I came here from lunch and it was delicious. She got a salmon sandwich and I got the Jeri grilled cheese that I added a bunch of yummiest too. We both highly recommend the mac & cheese as a side and the house made chips. Her server was very attentive and awesome. We loved sitting outside by the fountain it was beautiful and a beautiful day. Highly recommend.

    Little underwhelming considering the prices. $5 for a cup of coffee and $11 for a 4 oz mimosa was a bit much. Food was okay, our fried eggs were dry and overdone but the chicken was juicy, and tender and the french toast was great. Service was good and the drag show was the cherry on top. Cute and comforting interior.

    The Bill W. with fries and pickled vegetables. YUM!

    LOVE Jerry's Sandwiches! In fact, it's a MUST for us when visiting Lincoln Square! Today I tried the Sandra O (so delicious, will definitely get again!) and my daughter had the Bill W (her favorite!) Portions are perfect, price is right, and such a nice atmosphere on the patio.

    Vegetable quiche

    During my first visit to Jerry's a couple of years ago, I ordered one their sandwiches. I was mainly craving breakfast food during my most recent visit a few days ago. I ordered the quiche of the day and also cheese curds. The cheese curds here are really good! The quiche of the day was one with 3 or 4 different types of vegetables. The filling and crust on the quiche were both great. I wouldn't put the quiche at Jerry's above other places in Chicago like la boulangerie or bang bang pie, but still a solid 8/10. Jerry's has a nice-sized patio and also plenty of space inside too.

    So I've been a fan of Jerry's since the days when I would frequent the Andersonville location. And I have to say the food is always great. I'm a huge fan of their salads, as well as of the sandwiches, and have never had anything I would say was not good. Though today my streak salad just felt a little sad...but it still tasted delicious, but was oddly small compared to the size of the salads normally. My friend joked that maybe they got bigger bowls. In the Lincoln Square location, I have always felt the service was a little hit or miss. Don't get me wrong, the waitstaff is always friendly and tries their best. However it just always feels like they are one of two people short, making the staff always appear stressed and chaotic. Today was better than most of our recent visits, but still felt like our server was pulling more than his share of the service...but he was a trooper and this isn't about him. The issue I had today that lowers the rating is the volume of the music. And I don't want to be that "would you kids turn it down" guy, but today was a lot. We were in the back area behind the bar and bathroom entrance, and the volume was almost unbearable. I love music and am fine normally, but today it just seemed overly loud. Everyone in the area we were in was having to yell, and pretty soon I developed a headache. Some songs were lower volume, but just when you felt it was subsiding, another blast would blare and everyone would start screaming to talk to table mates. On the plus side, hearing The Stooges and 13th Floor Elevators in a restaurant is kind of great...just maybe a little less volume. This is the first time in a while I've come around lunch on the weekend, so maybe this is the norm, but just felt excessive. I do really love coming here (3-4 times a month on average), but just can't take that blasting music.

    Daisies continues to prove why it's one of the best pasta spots in the city -- creative, seasonal,…read moreand comforting without feeling heavy. The meal started strong with crispy, golden flatbread paired with creamy ricotta. The ricotta was silky and lightly tangy, topped with olive oil, shaved cheese, herbs, and a sweet-savory jam that added depth. The bread had that perfect crunch on the outside with a slight chew inside -- simple but elevated. The pasta was the star. Wide ribbons cooked perfectly al dente, coated in a rich, slow-simmered ragu that tasted deeply savory and comforting. The sauce clung beautifully to the noodles, and the generous sprinkle of parmesan tied everything together. It felt rustic but refined -- the kind of dish you keep going back for.

    This spot had reservations gone in minutes and I get why, but it didn't fully blow me away…read more Vibes were just alright. We sat in the back so it was quieter, but still kinda loud overall and felt more casual than expected. Better for groups than a romantic dinner. 6.5/10. Service was great though. Our server was funny, super attentive, and paced everything perfectly. Loved the little details like switching plates and checking in at the right times. 8/10. The sweet onion toast was sooo good. Reminded me of Au Cheval's bone marrow + jam combo. Crispy & flavorful. 9.5/10. All the pastas were cooked perfectly al dente and not oily at all which I LOVED. The strozzapreti was super comforting with great duck flavor. 8.5/10. The beet agnolotti was really unique, tasted like a cream cheese lox everything bagel. 8/10. The cappelletti was more mid for me, good filling and sauce but nothing crazy. 7/10. The pork collar had an interesting texture like medium rare steak, but I'm just not a big pork fan. 6/10. Now the desserts... BEST part of the meal. The chocolate pavlova was insane. First time trying it and the textures were crazy good with the sorbet, mousse, and crunch. 9.5/10. The cookie dough brownie ice cream was also one of the best flavors I've had. 9.5/10. They also gave us a free chocolate cake for our celebration which was a nice touch, but it tasted pretty basic. Overall, really solid pastas, amazing desserts, and a great app, but a litttttle overhyped for me.
