Jerry's Famous Coffee Shop
4 reviews for Jerry's Famous Coffee Shop
The current 24-hour special $7.89 dinner is half a pound each of steak and king crab legs with soup or salad, choice of potato, and bread or garlic bread. You can also choose a pound of king crab legs for $9.89. Both dinners are delicious, a super deal with excellent service in a very pleasant restaurant.
We had the homemade soup both times -- vegetable soup with a tantalizing broth and creamy clam chowder, both delicious. The steaks were excellent strip steaks cooked just as we ordered them, tender, and really tasty. The crab was outstanding. The baked potatoes were large and done to perfection. We were amazed, agreeing that a person doesn't realize how different potatoes can be until eating really good ones like these. The excellent garlic bread was crisp and buttery with a touch of salt on the crust.
Jerry's does all its own desserts, and the bakery case was extremely tempting. We had no room for dessert but certainly would have liked to try their beautifully presented version of strawberry shortcake or any of their delectable looking creations.
Jerry's Nugget is about 12 blocks north of downtown on Las Vegas Blvd. It is easy to get to and definitely worth the trip.
3.5 stars. 4 on a good night.
My family has been going here since the casino opened and we've been through all the changes. They're celebrating their 45 year anniversary. I can tell you my family has been here that entire time enjoying Jerry's.
My grandparents gamble and eat here EVERY SINGLE DAY. They will do so as long as they're here on this earth.
The specials are usually pretty good. I had the 6 oz Lobster tail meal and added a steak for $2. It's a thin cut steak, but not horrible. Last month I had the pound of crab for the same price. Lots of meat. They don't buy the horrible crab that you'd find at some cheap asian buffet.
I have ALWAYS been a huge fan of their salads.
I recommend the creamy italian dressing. It is my favorite. I'd buy a gallon if I could. They just switched to smaller croutons, which are actually perfect and yummy.
The nachos are also excellent. Cheese overload & edible sour cream and guacamole dishes.
My complaints are:
They now charge for EVERYTHING. Want some diced onions for your salad? $1 for each little monkey dish. Extra ranch? $1.50. Mushrooms added on your steak? $2.50. They don't really give paper napkins, but I bet they'll probably start charging for those soon, too.
It was all on the bill.
I was surprised there wasn't an itemization saying, "Wiped down table in the middle of meal - $2.50."
No more free cake on your birthday.
Also, I was eating with 2 diabetics and they ordered DIET COKES. They got the sodas and they were not diet. So they asked the guy to check the soda bag and get them a DIET. Came back...still regular coke. ANOTHER guy went to another soda machine and came back with diets. They were much, much darker. A lot of older folks and diabetics eat here and I hope they didn't have the same problem.
Also, sodas are $2. I think that's pretty expensive.
The decor is rather nice. The booths are comfy, the food is usually decent and priced well (particularly the specials). You can never go wrong with a salad here.
love the 50's style feel with the pie counter & cabinet
high back boothes with formica table tops
very clean & comfortable
waitress, hostess and drink guy were friendly enough but once we placed our order they were seldom seen.
menu was extensive but no pasta & they were out of rolls & ribs
drinks were a little slow coming
seemed a little under staffed
greek fries were crispy and very flavorful(italian seasoned) & cucumber dressing was cool & smooth not too overpowering
salads were fresh & crispy with blue cheese crumbles in the bleu cheese
biscuits were a little dry & not enough gravy-bacon was way way greasy-too much to even eat
prime rib was incredible-spiced just right-(lots of pepper) -melted into strands when soaked in the au jus. baked potato was hot & cooked all through
porterhouse was cooked perfectly med-very tender melted in your mouth-charring was done to perfection & made the steak that much better. veggies( julienne sliced carrots & broccoli were steamed & ok)potato was good but plain-no salt
banana cream pie was good-very little banana-but cream & ala mode were very smooth and sweet.
they had coke & mr. pibb, the iced tea was a little watered down.
this diner looks great with the modern spin on 50's diners and the enormous pie cases right in the door. the menu includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. mexican & american continental. over 40 differents cakes & pies. the service is a little slow-more worried about the big tables. the food is pretty good -the size of the prime rib is unforgettable-melissa will be up @ 3 a.m. with the "meat sweats" after that feast.
they have great steak specials-under $8 for steak & shrimp and of course steak sandwich & steak and eggs too.
for a casino cafe it's better than average-prices are fair and food is better than most
Good Quality, Good Service, Affordable Prices, Great Selection for American Comfort Food. Not bad prime rib either.
