I am in love with this place. Everything about it was perfect. Hush puppies, fried shrimp, cold slaw, fries, ribs, and the service over the top. Will be my new favorite spot!!!

Had the pleasure of having lunch today at Chef Jerome's Old School Diner. We have been reading about this place for a couple of years now, and it did not disappoint. Chef Jerome met us at the door with a smile and a hug, and just like the signs say he treats you like family. The food was awesome, and the atmosphere was worth the trip alone. We got to meet his baby Maxine, and he told us of his wife's passing last year. You can tell that he misses her terribly and makes sure to point her out in a painting there in her memory. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in, you won't be disappointed.

Unbelievable experience! The best gator bites and homemade sauce ever! The fried shrimp and grouper is the most delicious on the planet! Chef and his staff are fabulous. They do everything to ensure the best dining experience in a unique and entertaining environment possible. ❤️ this place and will return often.

Called ahead for an early Sunday dinner for 6 people. Chef Jerome greeted us with warm hugs and set the tone for a memorable, fun, and unique evening! The food was outstanding and service felt like you were home. The decor is wacky, neat, funny, and eclectic. He brought us sweet potato fries to try and, when he realized my 5 year old son loved his hush puppies, he immediately went back and made him more :) left with full stomachs and take out boxes. we will definitely be back!
