Went here with another couple. Was really impressed how every staff member was attentive and very nice. Everyone had great food. We were all impressed and will definitely go back. Great place!
First visit and well worth the drive. The filet was as good as any I've had. Salad was served in an oversized bowl which I appreciated. Meal came with a cup of soup (homemade) in addition to two sides. One of my friends had the cheesecake, which she said was better than the cheesecake factory's. Service was excellent. Will definitely be back.
Stayed overnight in Centralia and the hotel recommended this restaurant. Great choice. Food was excellent and lots of it. We met one of the sons of the family that started the business. What impressed me also was a quote from his Dad, "if you take care of your employees, they'll take care of the customers". This is so true, if only most businesses would have this attitude. He mentioned that most of his employees had been there for decades. It showed with the great service we got. Cajun Salmon was delicious.
Great place. I enjoyed the salmon. Their Cajun spice rub is very good. Not spicy but full of flavor.
Excellent food with nice sized portions. You can't beat the cheesecake! I liked not having to choose between a soup or a salad, they gave us both with our dinners, plus another choice side. I can recommend the fried mushrooms, bone-in pork chops, salmon and the wine and cheese dressing for the salad. So glad this restaurant has been around since the '70s with the same family running it. Most of the employees have been there 20 plus years. If I could give 10 stars instead of five I would.
We always love it here, and it is a natural decision for us to come for our wedding anniversary!! Thank you everyone for all you do!!
Great place to eat. Good food woth reasonable prices. Friendly staff and clean facilities. Would recommend!
Stopped in for an early dinner while running errands around Centralia. The husband decided he wanted a steak, so we decided on Jerry's. From the moment we walked in we were greeted by friendly staff, and felt very welcomed. We got the smoke sausage and tots appetizer which was yummy! We also got a 16oz ribeye and Bacon wrapped pork chops to share. You get soup & salad with a choice of a side. The wine and cheese dressing is really good! Our steak was cooked perfectly, and had a lot of flavor. The pork chops were smoky and juicy. We asked the server if she would wheel us out in a wheelbarrow when we were done. You will not leave Jerry's hungry, that's for sure! All in all an awesome first time experience. We will be going back!
