Local Favorites

Just before you cross the causeway to Wrightsville Beach you’ll see Jerry’s restaurant on the right in one of Wilmington’s ubiquitous small shopping plazas. To get there, turn right at the light at Wrightsville Avenue and Eastwood then left to get into the strip mall.

Jerry’s, a favorite among locals, has steaks, pasta dishes, an extensive seafood menu, very crisp salads and the best rack of lamb in Wilmington, according to our resident lamb expert. The staff is professional and attentive. Daily specials are always delicious and desserts are sinfully good. With a full bar and an extensive wine list, Jerry’s is open daily at 6 p.m.
