Jerry’s Foods

I’ve gone to the new Jerry’s Foods in Woodbury twice in two weeks. I can’t say that I enjoyed either visit very much.
The first visit I was ignored by 8 employees for 5 minutes in the deli, I finally gave up… never got what I wanted. On the same visit I was ignored by 5 employees in the meat dept. I was fortunate when I caught one employees eye and he finally came over to see what I needed. I guess the Jerry’s employees haven’t learned the universal sign of a customer in need… standing in front of them, and staring in their direction.
I decided to give Jerry’s another chance and it went better until I realized that Jerry’s doesn’t come close to offering the same level of service that Kowalski’s and Byerly’s make us expect from the high end grocery business, but they have the same prices. Jerry’s need employees with better product knowledge, I shouldn’t get a strange look when I ask a simple question regarding an item they sell. Where’s the carry out help or the pick up lane. Why the weird shaped carts that have a way of bumping into things because you can’t see the front of them. Knock Knock Puddin’ Head… your prices at the butcher shop are too low in the display, to catch a glimpse a customer has to do the limbo. Awful parking lot… how about a sign that directs you to Radio Dr. north?
I don’t blame the employees, I blame the management. C’mon Jerry do better!!!

New to Jerrys in Woodbury. While I don’t mind paying more for something of better quality, like the produce, bakery or meat, their prices on the common stuff is insulting. Do you think we are fools? Apparently many of you are. Do your research and you may have a hard time justifying the extra $ 100 you spend every visit on things like nuts, toilet paper, cereal or cleaners. Please explain to me how Jerrys can justify charging $ 9.50 for a can of Planters mixed nuts while they sell at target for under 6 bucks? Same exact products, priced vastly different.
C’mon Jerry’s… It isn’t right and a quick way to find an early exit from Woodbury.

The people at the checkout are great. The food selection is above average. Good cheese selection. What is most disappointing is the new Kitchen. This is their internal restaurant. It used to be a great deal as well as great service. The service is horrible now as people are simply rude. The food portions are smaller and the prices have gone up. They are doing nothing but upsetting the loyal clients that can simply go to Lunds right down the street.

Great salad bar for lunch!
The lunch and dinner options at the deli are awesome!
Don’t forget an apple fritter from the bakery. Easily one of he best fritters in town.

I root for Jerry’s Foods as a locally owned business trying to define their niche in a challenging marketplace. They standout because they have the best meat department in the Twin Cities among grocers. Sorry Whole Foods and the Coops. Jerry’s carries Prime Beef, they have great prices on their seafood and you can also find sustainably sourced as well. Their brats are made in house and they are big, juicy, and more flavorful than Whole Foods’ over priced $ 5.00 Brats.
I also price shopped them on Avocados and they were cheaper than Rainbow. If you need to pick up some donuts before a meeting this is the place! They have Apple Fritter pastries that will knock your socks off in a good way.
Now Jerry’s does need to continue working on their identity in the middle of the store. Their valuable shelf space is overcrowded by major brands all trying to do the same thing: Do we really need 20 different ranch dressing choices all with the same bad oils, preservatives, and artificial flavors? That doesn’t make sense when it comes at the expense of shelf space that could go to towards a boutique relish doing something amazing. Jerry’s could be this kind of grocery and add even more value for their customers than overpriced Lunds and Byerly’s.
So yes go to Jerry’s support them. They are trying to figure it out, and they are doing some great things and there is good value to be had at the edges of this Edina supermarket.

The recently remodeled Jerry’s Grill is a nice change and puts the local grocer in a competitive position. The new menu items range is appropriate for the residents of edina ranging. Check out the pizzas made in wood fired oven.

I’m reviewing the restaurant/​grill in the grocery store. They have changed this around just recently. I enjoyed the old restaurant tucked away on the side. Now they have a bunch of tables up front with a Starbucks counter, and you walk in way past that and order from the grill and they bring it back up front to you. I don’t know if you have to carry your own ready-​made fried chicken or if they bring it. That would be a major pain. The service is sloooooow. Long waits for the food. It really is an awkward set up they are doing and I don’t know if it is going to stay that way, as the old restaurant seating area is walled off. I hope it goes back, but in the meanwhile they have this bassackwards set up. The food though is great. Really done up nice, great portions, and it is pretty quiet up there. Not Zagats level, but for the money and location a nice surprise. The coffee that is from Jerrys is ok/​weak, but a lot cheaper than the Starbucks stuff, and you refill yourself up when you want. They also have a counter seating area with outlets for laptops and phones to charge now.

Meat section is getting lazy and not wanting to trim cuts or cut you something special. Just prepack it and put it all in plastic, guys. Keep it up and you’ll be like any other boring meat department. This is supposed to be a «specialty» meat market.

We had a great experience at Jerry’s!!! My son is severly Autistic and Jerry’s was so warm and welcoming!!!
We were in Sanibel Forida and went to Jerry’s. While there Ben [our son] fell in love with the conver belt that takes your groceries to the car loading lane. Jerry’s in Sanibel loved having him help load the cars and wave to the customers.
Imagine our excitement when we found Jerry’s in Edina!!! We came to say HI and Thank you for the great experience we had in Sanibel and Randy Dresher the Store Director welcomed us and gave Ben a Safety vest and name tag!!! He was out helping people load groceries into their cars and gave them a wave and Thank you come again! What a great store! Erin, Karen, Jim and Randy all made the day of our son so special. Please come to Jerry’s and say HI to Ben when he loads your groceries!!!

This place tears me apart: I love shopping here, but it is expensive. I’m pretty price sensitive (cheap), but I still like make the occasional shopping trip here. I keep telling myself that it’s expensive but I still like it. This place is perfectly attuned to its Edina environmens, so as a city boy I should be repulsed. Instead I’m drawn in during moments when I need inspiration for preparing special meals. I find that I pick up more prepared foods here than I do during normal shopping, which speaks to the quality of their prepared foods. Plus, they carry Apple Strudel pop tarts, which I can’t seem to find anywhere else that I shop.
If they had better pricing on regular grocery items, I would probably do most of my gorcery shopping here.

Oh childhood. The number of times we biked or drove (when we were old enough) to Jerry’s for the giant bakery cookies is unfathomable. In fact, the only reason I deduct a star is because Jerry’s fired a friend of mine for eating one of those same cookies while he was working there… Seriously guys?
But yeah… besides that ridiculous faux pas, I file you warmly in the memory bin.

I shop at Jerry’s frequently! They just have an easy, approachable atmosphere and I really find it easy to find my way through the store. The check out help is personable and the baggers are engagin.

I’ve shopped here for 20+ years. Great store, prices are on the high end though! Great Meat & Seafood selection!

Came here specifically because they are the only store in town that sells the brand of seasoning salt I needed (which, somewhat curiously, was not stocked in the spice aisle with the rest of the seasoning salt, but rather at the meat counter.)
Overall, this store just seemed sad. A has been. It clearly used to be the prestigious local grocery store, until Lund’s/Byerly’s and Kowalskis took that honor. Now it seems dated. And empty (both in terms of customers and shelves.)
Jerry’s reminds me of Lola from Copacabana.
…she was a showgirl
But that was 30 years ago
When they used to have a show
Now it’s a disco, but not for Lola
Still in the dress she used to wear
Faded feathers in her hair…

Have been shopping here for years. They have all the quality of Byerly’s in their produce department and better meats.
The original Jerry started out as a butcher so they are very fussy about the quality of their meats. Great flavor.

There is nothing wrong with this grocery store! It has everything that I have come to love about grocery shopping. It really reminds me of Lunds or Byerlys, in the fact that they too, have carpet!
I must say, if a grocery store has carpeting, I’m there!. well not really, but it does add for a nice touch!
I usually stop here on my way home from work. I avoid taking highway 62 between the hours of 3:30 and 5:00pm, so to get home, I drive by everyday.
Great selection of brands. I was mighty surprised, I had no idea that the store was actually that big inside, it is very deceiving looking when you only drive by. The check area is a bit small compared to other major grocery stores. It actually took a few minutes to get through, but I don’t really feel that is something to dis about the place. The crew is great, and have no problems showing you were things are!
My only gripe is over the prices. They are a bit high! I guess that is what you get for shopping in «Luxury» though. Even Lunds and Byerlys has higher prices.
The last thing that I must stress about the greatness of this place, is the fact that each time I’ve been in here, it has been minorly busy. meaning, that there were very little customers, and if there were… they were probably over the age of 65!

I love this grocery store — always clean with good quality foods. As Jason K said, they are a bit more expensive than Cub, but I always enjoy my grocery shopping experience more here. Sometimes, they have great deals — like T-​bone steaks for $ 4.99 a pound. Their deli is awesome. The staff are very friendly when they wait on you, unlike Cub where they sometimes act as though they’re doing you a favor. The cashiers will give you coupons automatically if you buy something, but didn’t bring a coupon with you, which is awesome for me because I always forget about the coupons.
I like to come here for «junk food,» meaning when I don’t really want to cook, but need to feed the family. I get a few containers from the deli, pick up some dessert, maybe some of their freshly baked bread, and away I go.
I usually hate grocery shopping — there’s so much of the trying to navigate the cart around people, etc. Here, I never seem to have that problem. They also bag your groceries for you … and if you have a lot of bags, you can drive up and pick up your groceries. They have someone who will put it in your trunk so you don’t even have to get out of your car.

Jerry’s is an awesome grocery store that is about a mile away from our house and the service and selection is always top notch. The selection of groceries is priced a little higher than Cub or SuperTarget, but it is a family operation that goes for quality.
They have great hours and seem like they are always open. They have roasted chickens right by the registers and have self checkout if you want to get in and out on a Sunday before a Vikings game.
The seafood area is awesome with lots of fresh, unique fish selections and a great bakery.
Off to the side is a post office area with papers and smokes if you want those.
There is also a large produce section and a build your own salad bar and to the side of that is a small diner that seems like it is nice and cozy.
A wonderful neighborhood grocery store.
