Jerry’s Grill and Bar

Love the Beef Manhattan on their lunch special. I take the office staff there once a month or so. Totally Recommended.

Mongolian Beef! Baby!!! What a place from top grade steaks to Asian food WHAT!!! What a place it’s a must eat, enjoy!

WOW what a menu and it seems to be every bit of it is scrumptious
You want general tso’s chicken awesome
You want enchiladas go for it
And as always they will have you unbuckling after you order one of there delicious steaks or chops
This place has to be the only highlight of Wamac

I am so confused by this place–
is it chinese? is it american? is it mexican? is it italian?— hmmm…
we went here Friday night for a birthday dinner–
the interior is cute, and cozy– and decently sized–
the menu — - ugh. so weird.
they have tons of chinese dishes– along with mexican food–
as well as pasta dishes–
and they are known for good steaks—
identity crisis? who knows — ?
now, onto what i ordered–
all dinners come with soup AND salad, and a side.
i ordered the filet mignon with steak fries–
first came the salad — - in a bowl that Olive Garden serves on the table–
it was HUGE — who serves their house salad in a bowl that big?
it was good nonetheless– i just thought it was odd– and it had tons of veggies on it.
The soup— i was confused by– the soup of the day was chicken tortelinni.
Again, they serve it in the HUGE bowl– but it was less than half filled with soup–
i dont care how much soup i get, but whatever size bowl you choose to serve it in, fill it!
Use a smaller bowl if you dont want to fill the big bowl up.
The filet mignon was cooked to perfection, and i ate it all–
the steak fries were just steak fries–
i dont know if we will ever be back– bc we arent from that area, and it was a special occasion type of thing– but i really cant say anything bad about the food itself.

I am a big eater. When I was growing up in Radom, Illinois I did not really realize I was big eater. How can this be? For one thing the family unit used to eat at a place in Wamac, IL called Jerry’s Bigger Jigger. It was a steak house with portions that could be considered daunting by those of faint heart. It just seemed normal to me that a baked potato should be three time the size of any I had seen to that point in my life (this is fine dining after all).
I just thought if you are going to pay a little extra you should recieve a little extra in quanity as well as quality. One of my biggest complaints of all restaurants is why do they not give more and or bigger sides? I mean what does that cost a restaurant a dime or so to add more? I want to take every friend from Springfield, IL and set them down at Jerry’s and show them that this is a correct portion for the money!
The Jigger is sadly gone and I believe this is what has carried on from the original owners (I have moved away many moons ago but the wait staff seemed to be the same). I ate here six months ago and was impressed. I felt a little like Alice in Wonderland with my drink. The soda glass is what 40 some ounces?!? This makes sense to me for it saves the waitress making excessive trips. The menu expanded from standard steak fare but I wanted a REAL steak. The salad that came with my meal was very good with the amazing house dressing just perfect. Large ribeye was huge and perfectly cooked and the potato correct sized and prepared. I mused after my meal why do I bother going to some other chain steak place? Jerry’s does everything so much better and it is a locally owned and operated. I feel at home there and believe all who try it would too.

Been going there since I was a little kid playing baseball. Went to the old place before the fire and afterwards. Always good food and polite servers! We never have to wait very long and we always seem to get our starters quickly. Most of the time I get a steak and I always seem to get a good cut. Once in awhile I get one with too much fat, but that is about the only thing i can say that sometimes disappoints me.
Great place to eat, but maybe a little pricy.
