Jerry's Famous Deli
1450 Collins Avenue
Miami Beach, FL 33139

www.jerrysfamousdeli.com

Since Jerry's Famous Deli opened its first restaurant in 1978, owner Isaac "Ike" Starkman originally from Israel, and owner of Epicure Gourmet Market, Miami Beach and Rascal House in Sunny Isles and Boca Raton, has successfully replicated this dining concept throughout Southern California. The company has several locations in Encino, West Hollywood, Marina del Rey, Old Pasadena, Studio City and now Miami Beach. 

Starkman attributes Jerry's popularity and success to its unique style, which combines an extensive menu of more than 700 items, ranging for traditional deli-style fare to light California cuisine, with its 24-hour service and high-energy ambiance. Jerry's defines "deli" as being all things to all people; whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner, nosh or midnight snack; bagels and lox, pasta or fajitas; a family outing or a business meeting.

Jerry's Famous Deli 'round-the-clock service will appeal to everyone—from families to the business crowd, students, models, tourist— basically any carbon-based being with an appetite. The prices are typical deli. Most sandwiches range from $6.15 for halfers to $12.75 for their FAMOUS triple-deckers. Entrees fall in the $8.95-$15.50 range. The 300 seat restaurant is open seven days a week, for eat in, take out, delivery, or catering.

Review:  I was excited to eat at this landmark after living in Miami for 10 yrs.  My husband and I were very disappointed.  I don't mind paying for good food but this was not good food.  The hamburger was overcooked and modest in size for the price.  The onion rings were frozen.  My sandwich came with fruit that was old.  We will not got back.  It was overpriced for such poor quality food

Review:  We went to Jerry's for brunch. and received the worst service I have ever experienced in my life. I ordered home fries with my omelet and received French Fries instead I was not asked before hand if I wanted the French fries the waitress just assumed. we had to speak to the manager in order to take away her gratuity. Overall the food wasn't GREAT....

Review:  I dined at Jerry's in South Beach. The atmosphere was inside was very cool and outside mere spectacle. I have never seen so many food items on a restaurant menu in my life. Very open inside a lot of room to hold a lot of people. I myself was usually there in the late night early morning crowd. My first Miami experience and Florida experience. Jerry's was very memorable for me, it is the kind of place I would like to see here in Dallas. There are times when I want to just get out and about and just eat at a all hours restaurant, where the crowd is youthful and vibrant. And it is just as much fun to check out the patrons and do some reading. Dining outside is a whoot!

Keep your camera ready. A guy walked by with a python around his neck while I was eating breakfast. You don't see that everyday here in Dallas. Jerry's is great for that and the food was very good.

The wait staff were very busy always, but really nice folks. It would eat there again when I am in South Beach again! or when visiting another city where Jerry's is located. Also very clean, well kept and cordial staff.

Review:  I know why Jerry's is famous: For the poorest service I have ever seen in the US. At the beginning the waiter looked at us as if we were retards and didn't pay attention to us at all.
We had to ask several times for everything (silverware, drinks, even for the check...). We had to ask the other waiters because ours was watching TV and spent most of his time on the phone sitting at a table in the middle of the other customers. The gratuity already included was probably the worst surprise after such a bad time and I swear I will never waste my time and money there anymore. You should stop there for the Art Deco architecture, take some pictures and then leave without ordering anything...

...Unless you are a masochist.

Review:  Service was horrible!  Employees too busy arguing with each other or involved in personal business to deal with customers.  You would think that customers would come first, but this is not the case here.  The food was decent, but overshadowed by the poor service.  Perhaps if gratuity was not automatically added to each check, the service would improve.

Review:  I'm from NYC and therefore much experienced in deli. The food was good and large in its selection. The bakery  also good with again, a large selection. THE SERVICE IS TERRIBLE.  Employees argued who's turn it was to seat customers, it took 40 minutes to get the food. At the bakery counter the employ at the cash register refused to help the person behind the counter in filling customers orders. After all she was in a deep conversation on her cell phone. With this kind of service all Jerry's needs is a little competition and their doors will close.

You are hamburger junks, come on get outta here, YOU LOVE IT! Read up on the food, the history, and then enjoy the ambience of the great food!

Review:  My husband and I were visiting South Beach and after hearing about Jerry's, decided to try it. We were surprised at the amount of items on the menu (we heard there were 700 items to choose from). We chose to order the NY style pizza - it was excellent. Also ordered salads and salad dressing was really good also-seemed very fresh. It was a bit expensive for what we are used to, however it is South Beach, what else is to be expected?? The waitress was friendly and prompt. Our overall experience was good -we would visit again.

Review:  Stopped in for a snack just before 11 pm. Ordered but didn't get food (just breadsticks!) until 12:10 pm.  Even though the menu said they were "baked with olive oil and parmesan cheese" we were told we had to ask for them that way so what we got were plain breadsticks, nothing more than pizza dough. We complained to the manager about the length of time it took and he agreed with us. He offered to give us a cocktail (we declined).  So then he said we could come the next night (after 10 pm) and he'd give us a free dinner. No thanks.

Review:  I really wanted a good corned beef sandwich and I read all of the negative reviews and decided NOT to go to Jerry's. Then 2 nights later as I walked past Jerry's Deli, I decided to give it a try. At 11pm, it was not busy. I was escorted to a table and waited 10 minutes while the waitress was indulged in a personal conversation with a customer. After another 5 minutes, I went up to her and asked if she would take my order. She looked at me as though I was from Mars and said, "Can't you see I am having a conversation?" I LEFT AND SWORE NEVER TO RETURN. The other reviews about the rude staff are obviously correct. I asked to speak with the manager and when I told him what happened he just looked at me and said, "that's not good." No apology....NOTHING! Stay away from this place.

Review:  We ordered chicken wings and chocolate cake. The cake tasted like it had been standing on the counter for at least a day. The wings were overcooked and when we took a bite, the oil came pouring out. The waiter (Juan) was very rude, we couldn't get him to come to us. Finally, when we asked for the check, he threw the check and the pen at us. I wrote in the check "Awful service, worse food", he turned around and said to us "don't ever come back ever". Do yourself a favor and do not eat here.
