It's always so good here. Huge cups of coffee and food delish. Love the Seinfeld theme. Service great with constant refills. I had the Marcello's with ham and deep fried potatoes yummy. With skins on so good. He had the steak out with hash browns again. It's sort of like a Philly chz steak without the roll and hash browns. We both took half home!! Whew. Glad we came in ! It's been awhile. The prices are decent too for a home cooked breaky.
Our daughter is attending PLU now & we searched for a good breakfast spot as I love Eggs Benedict. Little Jerry's is a great spot with good food, a wide variety and the people were very nice. Reasonably priced as well. We will be back. Oh ya, if you like Seinfeld, this is the spot.
Fun atmosphere full of Seinfeld stuff, and the food was awesome...big portions, cooked well and staff was kind & efficient.
Best breakfast joint on the way to Seattle by far! If you get a chance to stop at this gem you will be glad you did! Jerry Seinfeld themed spacious dining with outdoor seating! Definitely a must stop! Their biscuits and gravy with the chicken fried steak was so delicious! Highly recommend! Also their chicken strips covered with sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, bacon over savory potatoes did not disappoint! Don't think about it! Go!
Little Jerry's !!!!! My first time going here, love the Seinfeld vibe! Super cool to see when restaurants have themes and special aesthetics. The egg + beef was so good with the cheese, and peppers. also ordered chicken fried steak and was a little bit too hard. My water cup was very dirty as well. Floating bits were in my stained cup. I didn't mind, just asked for another hot water. It seems this place has many many regulars!!!! Which is a really good sign. The Service is good as well!
A very well deserved overall 4 star! When you walk in, try to find seating in the back if you can, where you can enjoy Seinfeld episodes on the tv while you eat breakfast! Also a cute L shaped breakfast bar which is prime seating for the tv. Food was amazing! We ordered the country fried steak with pancakes. Steak was super crispy, which is hard to find for some reason. Gravy was plentiful and flavorful. Pancakes were that perfect combo of firm but soft and buttery on the inside. It's a little greasy spoon with home cooked food. The Seinfeld vibes were cute and fun. Stop in for the food even if you're not a Seinfeld fan or don't know who Seinfeld is. Service was great. Our server checked on us several times. I think we came at a good time, it wasn't so busy we couldn't find seating
Really great food, unique experience, reasonable prices. What more do you want out of breakfast. I love the Seinfeld theme that's pretty cool
This is like a local breakfast type diner with Jerry Seinfeld theme. When I walked in, the waitress told me to sit wherever. After looking at the menu, the dishes had Seinfeld themed names. The walls also were full of Seinfled theme decors. The food came out pretty quick and the coffee was decent. The breakfast plates are in the mid teens. The diner had this local feel to it because this guy started talking to me. You don't really get it from the chain or franchise places. If you are old enough, the Cheers feel kind of came to my head.
We were going to go to another place, however, we had to have a reservation, so we were told about this spot as we were walking back to the car. It's a cute ole spot, again it had a nice sweet charm. The cook (I assume owner) really took care of us. Again, I got the sausage and hashbrowns and they were fine. My son got some eggs benedict and my husband got some beef with veggies and egg. I liked the posters on the walls, some signed by cast members or guests on the show. I also liked the soundtrack of the show in the background. But the best, was the menu, which had dishes named after different episodes. Coming here was not a mistake and if in the area, I'd revisit again.
I had left the house early in the morning before work, since I had so much time I decided I'd grab breakfast and while I am not Jerry Seinfeld fan, I heard this place makes decent food and it was close enough to work and somewhere I've never been before so I decided to give it a try. Walking in I noticed it's a very little diner, not very busy as there was only one other customer, floors were a bit dirty and lots of Seinfeld memorabilia along the walls as well as the popular show playing on tv's. I wasn't greeted or assisted right away as everyone working was in the back of the kitchen when I walked in. I grabbed my own menu as I saw a stack of them before the waitress finished her conversation with the cook in the kitchen. Looking over the menu, I saw an option for French toast that sounded heavenly: "the soulmate" which is french toast with sliced bananas, almonds and caramel so basically bananas foster french toast so my first instinct was to order that but then I also noticed "puffy shirt" which is a monte cristo and when I see a monte cristo sandwich on a menu, i pretty much always go that route so I ended up ordering the puffy shirt. I've had lots of delicious monte cristo sandwiches in my life but unfortunately this one didn't really hit the spot for me. The french toast bread was actually pretty good but the ham was burnt and I removed and didn't eat most of that, the jelly they used tasted like cheap a** smuckers... maybe I'm just a spoiled princess but normally when I order this sandwich other places they use homemade berry preserves and it's excellent. I got home fries as my side and those weren't anything special either.. they were hard and chunky potatoes. I ate about half of them. On top of that, the restaurant was cold and service left much to be desired.. I basically did part of the waitress's job for her by getting up and grabbing my own napkins and a straw for my water in addition to my own menu. Atmosphere overall was okay but not super welcoming. I started pondering what might have been had I gone with "the soulmate" instead and got it as an order to go and lesson learned: always go with your first instinct. If you get anything here, get French toast and I'd say take it to go as the experience eating here isn't the greatest. 2 stars for the soulmate French toast but I likely won't eat here again.
Little Jerry's was a great find! On the way to the airport needed some food so found this "hole in the wall". It was the exact small-town diner feel that I wanted. Service was wonderful. Had the entire place talking to one another. Food was amazing!! Had the "Ticket" which was hashbrowns topped with a biscuit, chicken fried steak, 2 eggs, and smothered with sausage gravey. My tummy is growling thinking about this breakfast. Pancakes, eggs and sausage for my partner also didn't disappoint. If we're back in the Tacoma/Seattle/Olympia order, Little Jerry's will be on the list!
Amazing service. Ye food is always great! The owner is wonderful and very friendly, wonderful cook!!!

This was a nice place. The food was good and the service was excellent. This Seinfeld themed restaurant was awesome to look around at all the memories from the show. I'd definitely recommend checking them out especially if you are a fan of the show. I had the Pilot as we were there for breakfast. I'll definitely come back for lunch to check out the burgers. read more

Decided to stop in this spot for some lunch and was happy I did! Walked in and was quickly greeted by the owner Tony. Was sat and was recommended several picks. I ordered the stacker since I hadn't eaten for the day. Came out quick and hot. Overall I'd rate the stacker a 4. Food quality was decent! Taste was good. What makes this a 5 is how friendly the owner was. He was very friendly and had great energy! Would come back. read more

This is hands down the cutest little diner I have ever been to . The staff is SO nice . We brought some out of state guests here for brunch on a Saturday and they seemed to really enjoy it . Food was amazing and seriously the service is outstanding. added photos of our meals . Prices were good the place was clean and our server was outstanding. Actually every person we encountered was extremely nice and welcoming. Everyone at our table left saying they couldn't wait to come back. read more
Tacoma WA. Quaint little place in Tacoma. I ordered the Ticket. I'm not a huge fan of everything covered in gravy but I got to say this was awesome. Gravy alone a little peppery but when you take a bite of all the ingredients together, it is like music in your mouth. Portion size, taste, quality, all top notch. I was looking for a breakfast place in Tacoma and this is it. Clearly the great food and service by the owner Tony, make all the difference. read more

Love this place. If you love Seinfeld you will too. All Seinfeld here all the time and great diner food to boot. Do it come here if your on a diet or don't like real diner food. Great menu withe items all named after the show and NYC. Seating is like NY Manhattan and you will be close to other diners. A few outside tables are available as well as a larger room with more tables but depending on time and business it may or may not be open. Try one of the many burger's or the French dip for lunch or for breakfast- we'll it's all good. Enjoy the TV show on the screen and the paraphernalia on the walls. See the Kramer or the ruffled shirt and enjoy the mini vaca to Seinfeld NY. Service: great - but due to heavy traffic at time it may not be fast as a fast food joint. Cleanliness: good Beverages: Coke etc in can or coffee, water tea Noise: average but can get loud when busy. MyFitnessPal: nope Great trip down nostalgia lane with great food to boot. read more

Great place, arguably the best breakfast place I've been to in a long time. If you love Seinfeld well this is the place for you! Great food, 24/7 Seinfeld, and really cool gifts to get if you're really into T-shirts and hats. The service is a little slow, though it is a small diner so can understand. Pro tip: The Kramerica was amazing, honestly get it with the biscuits and add the avocado, you'll not regret it. My dad got The Ribbon Bully, and he said that is was pretty good too. read more

Yum, I really enjoyed this place! It's super small and seems like it gets busy. I loved the Seinfeld theme, a restaurant after my own heart. They have a pretty expansive menu, both breakfast and lunch served until the afternoon. I had over easy eggs, bacon, mozzarella and avocados over home fries. It came with toast. Usually I'm not a big fan of potatoes but these were really tasty and the bacon was crispy. It was really delicious. Prices are fair and the staff was friendly. I'd absolutely return sometime! read more

Showed up to grab brunch on a Monday at 220. The hours listed say the store doesn't close until 3 yet they were closed 40 min early. Pretty disappointed since this place was on my list of best brunch places to try out in Tacoma. Closing before hours listed is bad business. A lot less likely to ever give this place a try in the future now read more

This review is a bit redundant considering the consistency of the 4/5 star reviews. Great food? Check! Huge menu? Check! Amazing service? Yes! So why another review? One, Little Jerry's deserves it. Great food and amazing service always deserve to be highlighted. Two, the food really does hit the spot - hot, fresh, great variety. The decor is best described as funky, kitschy, and, sadly, a bit dated. The Seinfeld theme is fun though I'm not a fan of the show. Being set in New York and having some Yankees memorabilia on the walls, I expected some more Yankee fandom being displayed considering this is October and the Yankees are in the playoffs. Where's the love?!?! I just had eggs, bacon, and kielbasa. Yep, all protein breakfast. My dad ordered the Understudy and my brother the Puddy. Again, without comment, great food. Why 4 stars? I would suggest the owners do a refresh to liven up and bring in some fresh ambiance. Keep the Seinfeld theme, it works, but rotate through some other New York fandom items. I would also suggest they change the kielbasa. Not a lot of flavor and, after trying it on three different occasions, it's bland. Just my two cents... read more

My wife and I stopped into Little Jerry's for breakfast before heading back home from Tacoma. Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Discover is an accepted form of payment. Indoors is small and narrow. There are two sides to Jerry's. The backside is a bit larger than the entrance side. I wouldn't recommend Jerry's for large parties. There is one non-gender restroom for all to use. Jerry's doesn't offer alcohol so my wife had a cup of coffee for $2 and I stuck to water. We shared the Chicken Roaster for $11: home fries topped with a biscuit, chicken strips, bacon, scrambled eggs and sausage gravy. We also shared a side of Avocado for $1.50. Our breakfast choice was fun, tasty and gluttonous. We enjoyed every single bite. Jerry's isn't the place to dine if you're in a hurry. We were fortunate to get seated right away. During our visit, there were people waiting to be seated. Meals also take a significant amount of time to be prepared. It was obvious from the clientele that most, if not all, were regulars. Everyone was so friendly (close seating quarters) and extremely fond of "their" local breakfast/burger joint. Staff members knew their patrons by name. Making new friends and learning of Jerry's history made the wait worth it. Staff members were friendly, efficient and team players. My wife and I both enjoyed our meal and visit at Little Jerry's and look forward to trying other menu items the next time we're in Tacoma. read more

We went in the afternoon so there was only 2-3 other people there. I read in the reviews where some people had really long wait times well, I found out why. There is another dining room in the back, not just the few tables by the entrance, and there is only 1 waitress and 1 cook (the owner). We sat near the kitchen and I noticed the cook can only do 1 order at a time and anyone who has ever been a short order cook knows it is vital that your able to multi task or your going to get behind before you know it. Example: cook your fries while your hamburgers are frying etc... We got the French dip sandwiches. We waited over 45min! The food was piping hot and tasted good. The serving size is big. The au jus dipping sauce was from an instant packet which was disappointing because it's easily made from scratch (there was some powder left at the bottom of the cup). They also do an ample take out business. Waitress said they had over 20 people in that morning for breakfast and she was having to serve every table! I can imagine the wait time was excessive so if you want to try it go during a non busy time. read more
Slow morning in Tacoma, Wa. So I need breakfast. Well... I probably could skip breakfast but... So Little Jerry's gets the nod. Ordered country fried steak with home fries and scrambled eggs smothered in white gravy. Taste so good. Worth the wake up. Get on out here and help these small business owners. They are not ok! read more

The Kramerica that we had was an absolute delight! Every bite was a party in the mouth! Truly the best Egg Benedict I've ever had. Little Jerry's a must try if you are in Tacoma. My husband and I are so glad to have found this hidden gem. The chef truly makes good food and the server was so super friendly and attentive! read more
