Feel like they are getting screwed because of the construction right there. Would have went past it myself if my boyfriend hasn’t been there before and pointed it out. Very much recommend. Will be back very soon. :)“

Zippy Fries

“📍 Flippin Jerry’s – Elyria, OH 🎶🔥🍔 Food truck vibes done right. With lights flashing, music playing, and the crew clearly having a blast, Flippin Jerry’s isn’t just a meal — it’s an experience. Here’s what we tried today (and LOVED): 🍔 Kickin Jerry Burger – 8.3/10 Wagyu beef. Pepper jack. Fried pickled jalapeños. CLE Campfire BBQ sauce. 🔥 This thing had heat, flavor, and balance. Every bite delivered a spicy, smoky punch. A seriously good burger. 🍟 Zippy Fries – Elevated fry game Hot, crisp, and tossed with garlic & parsley — way more than just a side. These fries hold their own. 🥤 Chocolate Malt Shake – Dessert MVP Rich, creamy, and dangerously drinkable. Almost grabbed a second. No regrets, just restraint. If you see this food truck around Elyria or the CLE area, do yourself a favor — go try it. Good food, good people, and a vibe that makes you want to hang out all day. 🍽️ Two food lovers, one page—justifying our epic food binges, one bite at a time. Follow along at @joeandjrkfoodreviews for mouthwatering meals, honest scores, and the best hidden gems you need to try. Come hungry.“

“Our first visit to Wolfe's and we were quite impressed. Seated at a window table in the bar, very comfortable. Greeted by Eileen who was super nice. Went over the menu with us, took our drink order. Ordered a pepperoni & sausage calzone to start. DELICIOUS!!! Dave had a steak salad and I had grilled cheese sandwich with chips. We finished the afternoon off by ordering 2 specialty pizzas to go. I can't stress enough the excellent service Eileen gave us. We will definitely be back and ask for a table with Eileen. Thank you, Eileen! Carol and Dave“

We were so happy that we could let go and have a nice time together for some affordable bowling and some good food. The bartender was very helpful and she gave great service. Thank you to the staff for lightening our night last week.“

The cups of butter that were in with the biscuits was totally melted and the lids weren't on all the way so all the butter was in the bottom of the biscuit box.“
