Let me preface this by saying that I never visited the Jerry's Seafood when it was in Lanham before Jerry sold it (shame on me)
Yesterday was my redemption! When I tell you everything hung was Awesome (LEGO movie voice) that is what it is
It was our lucky day because Jerry happened to be in the building yesterday & he provided me and my family with not only history but treated us like we were FAMILY!
Our waitress was Dawn, very pleasant & accommodating.
We started out with sweet tea for the table and when I say it's the perfect mix, trust me.
Since it was our first time there, Jerry gave us a sample of the fried haddock, kale, stewed tomatoes, shrimp & the roux used for the cream of crab soup...all yummy to my tummy!
My dad said the stewed tomatoes were just like my great grandmother used to make
We shared the cream of crab soup...great texture and lots of crab meat.
My mom ordered the stuffed shrimp that were HUGE, do you hear me...she could only eat one and took the rest home! The meal came with two sides so she ordered the kale and stewed tomatoes
My dad went in another direction and ordered the haddock with a crab cake and he also ordered the kale and stewed tomatoes (of course, childhood memories)
The kid ordered chicken fingers (ugh KIDS, lol) with kale (@ least she getting her veggies)
I ordered the scallops & oysters w/ the wedge salad (bleu cheese dressing) and fries!
The salad was so good and the homemade bleu cheese dressing was excellent!
Everything here when ordered fried is fried perfectly and the crab anything is nothing but crab meat...NO FILLERS!
Dessert was bread pudding, peanut butter pie and key lime pie...so full!
So if you are in the area, pop in and talk to Jerry and get a good meal while you are at it, you won't be disappointed...I know we weren't -

Had a delicious lunch here over the weekend. We were greeted by the owner who sat us at a table & had our waitress bring over a sample of their fried haddock w/ tater sauce. Both were excellent.
Our waitress was very attentive and pleasant our entire visit offering to bring us samples of items we had not tried before. I'm a bread & butter slut and she was on top of that also, so that really made me happy
We opted to start with an appetizer of the fried calamari. The calamari was very fresh and extremely tender (not at all rubbery) however it wasn't fried very crispy. But it was still very tasty. It came with a spicy Asian dipping sauce which was nice but I also like ranch & a squeeze of lemon so she brought that and it was delish. Definitely could tell the ranch was made in house.
For an entree we decided to share a combination plate & went w/ the crab cake & fried oysters w/ our sides being the wedge salad & collard greens. The wedge salad was excellent, the dressing was made w/ a very strong blue or Roquefort cheese so it was flavorful & pungent! I'm not normally a fan of greens but these were very good, just needed a pinch of salt. The fried oysters were fresh but again not crispy, not sure if they rushed them out of the kitchen or if that is just how they serve their fried items (although the haddock sample we were given was nice & crispy) The crab cake was beyond amazing, it tasted like you were literally eating meat right from the crab shell.
We will definitely be back, however it is pricey so it will be a special occasion splurge for us. -

Upon entering this quaint little restaurant, we were greeted enthusiastically by the owner, Jerry. I felt like we were his best friends he hadn't seen for awhile. We enjoyed small tastes of the kale greens, stewed tomatoes and haddock nuggets before we even opened our menus! The tastes were excellent! We finally ordered after deep discussions about the many choices both on and off the menu. Hubby ordered the mariner's platter with coleslaw and applesauce. I created my own platter with fried shrimp and scallops with a side of the haddock nuggets with a baked sweet potato and more of those delicious kale greens. Every bite was wonderful and the warm welcoming atmosphere ensures that we will return!

I L O V E J E R R Y ' S P L A C E ! ! ! Owned by Mr. Jerry and Ms. Peggy, this family-owned and -operated seafood joint is an awesome local gem, offering FRESH FRESH FRESH SEAFOOD!
The menu offers a nice selection of various appetizers (shrimp, crab dip, oysters on the 1/2 shell, etc.), sandwiches (Icelandic haddock, oyster, crabcake, etc.), soups, platters, daily specials, and a beer and wine list.
The hubs and I came here for a later lunch, and we ordered: 1/2 lb of the large steamed shrimp (cooked to order, seasoned with Old Bay, and served with a homemade cocktail sauce; the shrimp were large, seasoned wonderfully with the Old Bay, and were juicy, plump, and super fresh!); Maryland Crab Soup (a spicy veggie broth, chock-full of veggies and topped with a generous mound of jumbo lump crab, this soup was super delicious and literally feeds your soul! It has a nice kick to it and perfect for any cold weather!); and, a daily special of a combo platter, with a no-filler crab cake and baked scallops, dressed in garlic butter. There was even a clove of roasted garlic which I totally went crazy for!
The sides we had were a baked potato and the cole slaw - that cole slaw was SO SO SO GOOD! Tangy, crunchy, and creamy!
We also ordered their house-brewed sweet tea - super addicting! The right amount of sweetness, and it even comes with your own carafe - drink it up!
Did you know that if the restaurant finds that you are a first-timer, they bring you out sample dishes to try?! We tried some stewed tomatoes (nice and sweet!), kale, onion rings (so crispy!), fried Iceland haddock (absolutely divine!!!), and the Cream of Crab (sprinkled with a dash of curry powder).
Our server, J-lo, was super attentive, sweet, and was super efficient! She checked-in with us throughout our dining experience! Mr. Jerry himself was walking around, welcoming all the diners and making sure that everything is satisfactory - so awesome! He came by about 3 times to our table, and I was so starstruck - I got to take a selfie with him, though! AHAHAHA
The restaurant itself gets packed to the gills, but the place is clean, utilizes the small space very well, and has a relaxing and a chill vibe. I liked the caricatures that are on all of the walls, which seem to be a mix of famous and local business people and members.
If you're looking for fresh seafood, look no further! Jerry's Place will definitely become part of your dining rotation! Definitely worth the drive!!!
I can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu!
