Jerry's Pub & Restaurant — Restaurant in Cambridge Township

I really wanted to love this place. It was the third place we had gone that evening in an attempt to find a restaurant with food that was actually made in-house. We had been to two places in Tecumseh previously only to find that their soups all came from a plastic bag and that none of their food was actually homemade. I, for one, dont want to go out to a restaurant and pay a premium for a glorified Banquet meal. At any rate, we ended up here. We had a party of seven. I ordered the open faced prime rib sandwich with a side salad. The salad was good after I requested another small cup of ranch (which was yummy) and a little bit of cheese (since the salad had no cheese). I'm glad the salad was goid because when my prime rib came out it was cold. It would have been good, too, but it was not even warm. My friend ordered the 28 day aged steak, medium rare. When he cut into it, it was well done. I suggested that he cut into the center, which was also well done. I had also ordered a side of fries, and when I received them (it was actually one of the owners that brought them) it was a ridiculously small amount. Like, maybe 15 fries, which looked woefully pitiful on the plate. Since that and the side salad ended up being my only dinner, I was a bit disappointed. After telling the staff these things, the woman (owner) who had brought the fries out came to the table and basically blamed the steak being overly done on how my friend had cut into it, stating that had he cut into it from the other side first, it would have been fine. Irritated, I said that actually, no, because he had cut into the center as well, and it, too, was well done. They took the steak, the prime rib, and the side of fries off the bill, though it seemed very grudgingly. The waitress was polite, but not very warm or personable. I'm not sure what our group did to deserve our treatment, but I left there feeling very upset. The positives: the wine pours were generous, the salad dressing was obviously homemade and delicious, the kids liked the crabcakes, and there is a nice, large deck overlooking the lake. In conclusion, I must say that I have NEVER had an owner come to the table and blame a patron for an overcooked steak. This place could have a lot of good things going for it if they learned to be kind and warm to their guests and if they learned how to send out a properly prepared plate of beef.

Our recent visit to Jerry's Restaurant was a memorable one, thanks to the incredible service and delicious food, despite the chaotic presence of my two toddlers. With a three-year-old and a one-and-a-half-year-old, we expected a lively atmosphere, but it seemed to unsettle a gentleman nearby, who appeared uncomfortable and made his displeasure known. However, I was too caught up in managing my kids to really notice his behavior.

Our server, Alli, truly stood out during this experience. She was attentive and friendly, ensuring our needs were met, despite the distractions around us. At the end of our meal, she surprised us by insisting on covering our tab. This was particularly humbling, as my family didn’t require any financial assistance, but Alli’s kindness really touched us. As a night shift nurse, I had been having a tough week, and her generosity reminded me of the goodness in people. It was a heartfelt moment that made the day feel special.

We were referred to Jerrys by a neighbor, so we thought we’d give it a shot. The food at Jerry's did not disappoint! My husband and I savored the flavorful perch, while the kids happily devoured their pizza. The drinks were always full, and the overall atmosphere was vibrant.

I left Jerry's feeling especially grateful for the experience and for Alli’s exceptional service. Her kindness not only brightened our day but also inspired us to return more often. From now on, any visit to Lake Wamplers will include a stop at Jerry's, where I won't even pack a cooler except for drinks to get there. It's reassuring to know that places like this still have thoughtful people like Alli making a difference. Highly...

Saw this was ranked number 1 restaurant in the area while we were trying to figure out where to eat after exploring the Irish Hills area. To start, the service was great. Our waiter was really funny and always made sure we had what we needed. I accidentally spilled my lemonade and he said in a funny tone "You haven't even drank yet, come on. If you want, I can refill this and add a shot to calm you down." We all laughed. I wish I would've asked his name, he was great.

The flavor of the crab cakes was great! My only recommendation would be to make them a little less bready. The crab stuffed mushrooms caps were awesome! I would've been satisfied just eating the crab stuffing. The clam chowder is among the best I've ever had! Finally, I tried what I've never seen until coming here: A Lobster Grilled Cheese. It's only $10, for lobster! The sweetness of the lobster contrasts very nicely with the dill Havarti cheese. They put a generous amount of lobster on it too.

My dad said his Reuben was one of the best he has ever had, and he has been around when it comes to Reubens! My mom's perch was literally perfect, she let me try some. Overall, a wonderful restaurant experience! We'd love to return and explore more of the area when it cools down, and then...
