wow i can’t believe it took me so long to blog about jerry’s bbq & grill. the food there is awesome! you can feast on american-style goodies like hot, hot buffalo wings, meaty steaks and saucy ribs, then wash it down with a cold beer. it’s the kind of food that makes you wanna ignore your doctor’s advice, throw all health caution to the wind and just pig out!
a perfect starter to this belt-loosening meal is of course the most-talked about buffalo wings. what’s very interesting is that you can choose from three varying levels of spiciness — smoking, intensi-fire and chef’s challenge, which i heard was crazy-hot!
Buffalo Wings (Intensi-Fire)Price: $12.95 + 10% Service Charge + 7% GST
Dish rating:
as we love the shiok-ness of eating spicy food, but aren’t brave enough to venture to the far end of the hotness meter, we went for the level two intensi-fire. the half-dozen buffalo wings arrived looking really hot anyway. you can still see the chili flakes and seeds on them. goodness! how very exciting!
the size of the wings are ample, nothing like those wee little hot n’ spicy drumlets you get at the colonel. each one is coated in a hot sauce that makes the skin of the chicken taste extremely good! it’s a little sweet and sour too, which is nice. the chicken flesh itself is flavorful even on the inside. it also retains a slight bit of moisture, because no one enjoys digging into a dry and hard chicken!
overall, the spice level is quite comfortable on my taste buds, getting a little fiery only on my third wing. with that said, i think i’m brave enough to take up the chef’s challenge next time!
Deep Fried Mushroom

Price: $10.95 + 10% Service Charge + 7% GST
Dish rating:
as the meal is likely to be heavily meat-oriented, it’s a good idea to order a non-meat dish to mix it up a lil’. the deep fried mushroom is a highly-recommended item by the restaurant and moi. firstly, the button mushrooms are dipped in a special batter. then, they are lightly fried to a glorious golden brown. and finally, they are served piping hot with tartar sauce.
when i bite into each one, mushroom juices burst out! it’s really hard to describe how awesome it is. you can have it with or without the tartar sauce because both ways taste fantastic! i think this might just be the best mushroom dish i’ve ever had in my life. nothing else even comes close.
after these flavorsome bites that totally woke our palates, we almost didn’t have room for the main course — a half slab of babyback pork ribs.
when it comes to pork ribs, very often it is more bone than meat. this is the case even for the highly popular, award-winning babyback ribs at tony roma’s.
as you can see from the photo above, it’s really just skin and bones at tony’s. (it still tastes pretty damn good though.) now compare that with jerry’s.
Babyback Pork Ribs (Half slab)

Price: $21.95 + 10% Service Charge + 7% GST
Dish rating:
for the ribs here you can visibly see a thick layer of tender meat on the bones that oozes flavor with every bite. i heard that they cook the ribs over special controlled hickory smoking ovens. the slow barbecuing process helps get rid of the fats, breaks down the tougher tissues, resulting in meat that falls off the bone easily!
and that’s not even the best part. the ribs are smothered in a thick, savory tomato-based barbecue sauce that totally completes the dish. seriously, this trumps tony’s ribs by miles! when people ask me for a good place for ribs, i won’t mention tony’s name anymore. yup, jerry is my new guy.
let me now talk about the location. the flagship outlet is at 277 jalan kayu, with a second outlet at club street near chinatown, the one we visited. it is housed in a blue pre-war shophouse building with a small indoor dining area. i heard there are seats available on the second floor, although it wasn’t open when we went on a saturday afternoon.
the interior is decorated with black and white photographs on aviation, and car license plates from various american states. there are also two separate washrooms at the back that customers can use after getting their hands dirty with the awesome buffalo wings.
like i said, jerry is my new guy. check him out if you haven’t! for those who have, feel free to recommend your favorite dishes from there. i’m definitely dropping by again in the near future.

Veron, your reviews should come with a warning: Do not view during after-dinner hours. I had my dinner but looking at that plate of chicken wings makes me wanna eat them all up!
Club Street is an enclave of many good restaurants. But places like Dempsey and Holland Village hog all the limelight.
Question: How do you maintain your figure with all the good food you’re eating?

Those look very spicy. The food sounds delicious! Wish I was in the area to stop in and have a feast. View all comments by Monika

Melissa: I think you’re right. The few times I have been to Club Street, the restaurants always appeared to have pretty slow business. Dempsey Road has been heavily marketed. That’s probably why people still flock there even though it’s much more inaccessible.
Monika: You’ll have your chance! There’s another outlet in Jalan Kayu too. View all comments by Veron

Actually there’s also a Jerry’s at Tanglin Shopping Centre. I’ve always thought it to be far better than Tony, or any other BBQ rib place I’ve tried. You should try a place called Blooies too, if you like this sort of cuisine. View all comments by Jevon Louis

A place with better ribs than Tony’s? Hmmm… must check this out! View all comments by acroamatic

Jevon Louis: The Jerry’s at Tanglin has closed down already! It’s a real shame because that would be the most accessible outlet for many of us. I used to visit Blooie’s regularly, mostly for beer. Back then I was working in Science Park and Blooie’s occupied the same building! Some afternoons my colleagues (boss included) and I would just head down for a cold beer to loosen up and “brainstorm”. Haha! In fact, Blooie’s was one of the first food reviews I wrote!
acroamatic: Check it out, you must! I used to be a regular customer of Tony’s. But after getting to know Jerry’s I don’t think I’m ever going back to Tony’s again! View all comments by Veron

Woah. Just realized that you’ve just added in the nightfall theme. It’s really cool.
You should try triggering the theme based on the local visitor time. That would be cool. (Or you are doing that already?)
Thanks for another great food recommendation. Feel like trying out the buffalo wings already. View all comments by uzyn

Thank you for alerting me to places that I have never been to. Before I had read this post, I didn’t even know that Jerry’s BBQ & Grill exist. I am not a red meat eater, yet it is good to know where to find such food so that I can bring friends who love ribs there to enjoy!
Have a lovely weekend. :) View all comments by py

uzyn: For some reason I think you of all people would love the buffalo wings! Call it a hunch :) Automatically toggling the theme based on the visitor’s time is a great idea! I think I would go ahead and do just that!
Sorina: Welcome!! Thanks for dropping by and do stay a little while longer :)
py: No worries - you can still indulge in the mushrooms and buffalo wings! View all comments by Veron

You bet! My friend and I can’t wait to have the deep fried mushrooms again. I’m still waiting to take up the chef’s challenge buffalo wings! My colleague told me that they are so spicy, they would cause you to temporarily lose your sense of taste. Whoa! View all comments by Veron

Wow!!! You must go to Jerry’s but stay away from the Chef’s Challenge buffalo wings! I was so curious about it before so I had it for dinner today. Boy, it BURNS! It’s seriously not for the faint-hearted. So do not have that unless you really have very high tolerance for spicy stuff! View all comments by Veron

I haven’t been to the one at Jalan Kayu, but I think the Club Street branch has that old world charm too, it being in a shophouse district near Chinatown. I wonder if the food quality is the same. View all comments by Veron
