I had the Havana Banana with grouper. This fish was delicious as were the plantains, beans and rice! We had gator bites and all enjoyed them. Seriously, check this place out on the water!!
Enjoyed a fantastic lunch with a jerk style platter— the mahi, rice, beans and plantains were cooked to perfection. Anne Marie’s service and suggestions were spot on, she mentioned this plate was really good, and she was absolutely right. We will certainly be back!
Smokin' Jerry's!!!! Locally owned and operated. You can find Jerry there most days. The food is top notch! The immediate smell coming from the smoker calls me inside. It's hard to decide what to get. Pulled pork nachos or brisket sandwich. Anything off that smoker is absolutely amazing!

We have visited this area for many years and we have always had great service and food at Smokin Jerrys. Great service and some of the best food in the area. The drinks are well made as well. It's a great place to stop if you are riding the Cape Haze Pioneer trail as well.

We ordered crab cake and smoked salmon platters with caeser salad and onion rings. Also a Yuengling draft. The food and service(Savanah-waitress) were top notch. I will return to try their smoked prime rib. They actually have a smoker grill going in front of the restaurant and it smells wonderful. We don't go out much to eat and I smoke my own salmon so this was a special treat.

There’s bigger places but there are not any casual tiki bars that are better . Food is always good , smoked pork cooked right outside is always a favorite and smells amazing . Drinks and servers also top notch . 5 years of coming here and zero complaints .

We had beautiful weather for our visit to Jerry's. The pork nachos and the NE clam chowder were excellent!

It was a bit over priced for what it is. Food was generously portioned, but quality was average to below average. Certainly has dive bar feels. Wait staff was friendly and attentive.

Beware: we went to this restaurant in early December 2024 after several previous visits that were mostly positive experiences. This time we ordered the “Grouper Platter” ($25.95) after the waitress told us that the grouper was “really fresh”. When the entree arrived, it was obviously previously frozen, greyish in colour and poorly cooked. We sent it back, uneaten, as it was inedible and we were concerned about possible food poisoning. I assumed that the restaurant would not charge us for this uneaten item, but when the bill arrived later the $25.95 charge for the frozen grouper item was included on the $70+ check. After we complained, the restaurant offered a 20% discount, which left us to pay over $20 for an entree item that was returned as unsatisfactory and not consumed. Although we rarely do it, on occasion when we have returned menu items at other restaurants if they are unsatisfactory or misrepresented, we have never experienced a situation where restaurant management refuses to credit the item that was returned. We will not go back to this restaurant.

Awesome place, a bit expansive for what it is and sometimes they get short staffed, but the staff that is there is really good.
Kid-friendliness: Not very kid friendly when I went, but could be very friendly if less occupied
Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible

Eh. Hopefully someday the owner will lighten up and actually respect his customers. I’d like to give him the benefit of the doubt he was having a bad day/month/hurricane season when I interacted with him
