I did not have the food here, so I can't comment on that, but the service at this place is just absolutely atrocious to the point of downright unacceptable. Definitely not a place to take your kids or your parents to. I walked in here with a group of friends around 5:00 PM. The place was reasonably packed, but not to the point that with 5 staff members, no one could even bother to acknowledge us. For about five minutes, we walked back and forth across the venue looking for someone to serve us. I, along with the other guy in my group, finally walked to the bar and asked the head bartender if we could place our orders. She just shot us a glance and said "okay" and turned away from us. We then watched a couple walk in and sit in front of her; she then proceeded to chat them up, take their drink orders, and make their drinks right in front of us without any second thoughts. We just walked out the door.
Review Source:Good food, but more importantly, this is THE place to be on thursday night. they have $1 domestics and everyone and their mom comes out to have a good time. But not literally... its straight college kids. It gets insanely packed pretty early, but its conveniently located right beside the other beach bars
Review Source:"Went there on Good Friday at 2:00 pm. Lots of people in there. All ages from kids to Grandparents. Recently this winter, the porch was completely redone and looks more appealing, but from the outside you cant see how pleasant it is on the inside. Maybe redone on the inside too? Not sure, never been been before. Â Great things on the menu and burgers are good and fresh made. Â Fries are good but probably from Cisco. Â Tons of flat screens for any games you want to watch. Â X box and controllers too. Â 2 Bars are nice too. Â We would definitely go back!
Review Source:I really hate to knock a place that does have good food based on their service, but I've been there twice and both times service was less than speedy with the second time being near to the point of rude. Â My burger topped with chili was outstanding. Â The fries were average.
I believe the trouble came into play because the place was packed. Â When we sat down a server took our drinks orders and disappeared. Â The drinks were not delivered in a timely fashion and a second server appeared at our table asking what we'd like. Â We advised that another young woman had taken our beverage order and the gal seemed somewhat taken aback. Â Basically the whole time we were there we got the impression that since both of them assisted us at some point that because the didn't want to share the tip, they would each just pretend we didn't exist and wait for the other to help us out. Â This resulted in empty drinks for almost the entire duration of our meals that never did get refilled. Â On top of the 40 minutes it took for our three burgers and fries to be delivered to the table.
I'm sure at some point I'll be in that area and probably give it another shot, but maybe at a time when I'm not on the meter so I don't have to pay for parking while the gals duke it out over who has to wait on us.
When you here the fellow students of UNCW talk about Jerry Allen's or any other "Beach Bar" for that matter, they make it ouf to be Tavern on the Green. Â I'm here to bring a little bit of reality to these fables. Â
Jerry Allen's is what it is. Â It's a place to be "seen" on Monday nights for there 3$ menu or after a Saturday/Sunday at the beach. Â In all honestly, it has hum-drum food and average priced beers. Â The seating is okay and the bar atmosphere is average. Â
The 3$ menu does pretty much rock on Mondays, I'll give it that. Â Overall though, parking can be a bit of a doozy and you get what you pay for at Jerry Allen's. Â Thus, why I have rated it "A-Ok."
Jerry Allen's is your basic local beach bar, full of kids that look like they just stepped out of an American Eagle catalog mingling with older "local color." Local color means old drunk guys that have a lot to say, even if you can't really understand what they're talking about, but they're very friendly. Nice people at Jerry Allen's though, the kind of unpretenious people that say hello to you at the bar and ask you how you're doing and if you're from around there.
Loud music, smoking (weird after living in clean air California), laughter, the occasional basket of french fries, and cheap drinks adds up to a good time.
