“Incredible! We were passing through on a road trip and found Jerry’s online. As soon as we stepped through the door we knew we’d hit the jackpot. Incredible place, even better food, and amazing service. If our word counts for anything, stop by even if it’s just as you’re headed through town. We won’t stop thinking about this place ever.“

“Was a great meal. Kinda wish I had a window seat but overall experience i give it a 10 out of 10. The food was wonderful and juicy. Our server took care of all our needs and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. The atmosphere was on pare with what I would expect from this level of a restaurant. Clean cool and a overall relaxing vibe. Apart from being in the middle of the restaurant without a view of the great Mississippi River it was comfortable and couldn't ask for much better!“

“Such a wonderful place! The food was FANTASTIC!! We had a Reservation. No issues whatsoever with it. Our waitress - Angela - was so kind. Highly Attentive - and very knowledgeable about the menu. The Atmosphere was perfect. Relaxing. We even asked what music they were playing as even the music added something special to the experience. Wonderful! Looking forward to our next visit!“

“If you want a very good home cooked country breakfast then look no further than The Hungry Bear in Burlington, Iowa. The food here is absolutely delicious and made with genuine homemade ingredients. The flavor and seasoning in and on the food is absolutely amazing 👏. Oh and don't get me started on the portions of the food. They give you so much you will be taking leftovers home I can tell you that unless you're really hungry than you can probably handle the huge portions.
It's a nice little place tucked away in the downtown part of Burlington. The staff and waitress is very friendly and always checking in on you for a refill on your beverage and to make sure the food is good. Better get there early on the weekends because it does get busy but for good reasoning that food is something everyone wants. So go check it out you will enjoy each bite you take for sure.“

And they offer a generous Military Discount for those eligible. A great place to enjoy a nice lunch in a clean restaurant with quality service all around.“

“Ate here on a Monday night. Looked busy but even though there were numerous empty tables available, we had to wait what seemed like forever to be seated. Other customers had the same fate. Speculation among the many waiting to be seated was they didn't have enough help to handle the Monday night crowd at 5:45 pm. Once seated the friendly server took our orders and the food came quicker than being seated. I had the buffalo chicken wrap with fries. It was very good and filling. I think the others at our table liked their food also. One person though had to wait even longer as they forgot to make her sandwich along the rest of the order. Our appetizers came fairly quick and were good. Even though everyone had to wait an unnecessarily long time to be seated, it was an enjoyable dining experience. We've eaten here before and probably would again, but hope next time we don't have to wait over 30 minutes to get a table when many appeared to be open.“
