    Thanks for sharing the tradition that is Jerry's, love you all! Especially that pup!
    The Spot in Sidney, Ohio sells the Big Buy. That's my favorite version, but I love them all! I miss the Burger Chef and Red Barn version a lot.

    Thanks so much for this review! We miss Jerry's so bad since they pulled out of Louisville. We had no idea there was still one left. We will definitely stop in here on our next trip to the Smokies. I used to always get the club or the fish sandwich. I'm sad to see they went to the smaller fries though. I miss the old ones. That hot fudge cake looks as good as it used to! Glad it tastes the same! On second thought, we might just ride out there today! We loved the live last night, too. It was great! Thanks again!❤

    • @RaysontheRoad
      @RaysontheRoad  Před 27 dny +2

      Thanks! This location isn't in the smokies, it's in Paris Ky. It's about an hour and half drive from Louisville. I don't think I've ever had the fish sandwich from Jerry's I'll have to try it! We appreciate you logging on for the LIVE, we had a great time chatting with everyone! We're going to do some research and work out the kinks before the next one, we promise! 😉😉

    We had one many years ago , it's Midland Restaurant now in Alcoa , TN , country cooking [ meat and two or three ] If you order their coleslaw it comes to table like a salad before your dinner , oh and killer blackberry cobbler.

    • @RaysontheRoad
      @RaysontheRoad  Před 4 dny

      Everybody seems to have loved Jerry's and has fond memories of it. It is a wonder it went under. I never tried the blackberry cobbler from there though but it probably was delicious. One of my favorite things to do when I'm traveling is to find old restaurants that used to be old chains just to get a glimpse as to what they would be like in their prime. Thanks for watching and sharing your memories.

    All the food from Jerry's Family Restaurant looks so good. The Champ ham sandwich and the J Boy burger is something I would really like. The spaghetti and meat sauce looks especially good. At home I do put green pepper and onions in my tomato sauce. Holy Moly, the Hot Fudge Cake looks amazing. Nice to see you cleaned all your plates. You picked some great choices from the menu. It looks like you both really enjoyed it. T'hanks for a fun video.

    Great bonus footage. I was hoping there would be a Ford Mustang and sure enough there is was. That looked like it was a 1965 Mustang. The red paint job and red and white interior looked awesome. My first car was a 1966 Mustang that was past down in my family. It went from my father, to my sisters, then to my brother and finally to me. Unfortunately I lent it to my friend and he wrecked it. I probably still would have it if he didn't wreck it.

    • @RaysontheRoad
      @RaysontheRoad  Před 26 dny +1

      That was an awesome car. I can't believe how clean it was. The camera doesn't do the paint job justice! The interior was really cool. I wish they still made cars like that. That is terrible to lose such a family heirloom like that. 😔 Hopefully, he was ok and hopefully he compensated you for all that trouble! Hope you are doing well and having a good weekend.

    This restaurant looks very interesting to consider eating at, and Matt I know I’ve gotta be older then you young man, and I guess I don’t remember the glass bottles for the Catsup from years ago. It’s a real shame to see all these old time places to go away, but..who knows maybe it’s for the best, I don’t know. I really don’t care for McDonald’s except for there breakfast ( I’m a breakfast person)

I don't normally eat cole slaw at restaurants but I loved theirs. As I remember it was sweet and yep you dipped the crackers in it.
    And THEN Stacey ordered my go to meal :) oh man!!!!!! I used to tell the waitress to just bring me another shaker of parmesan!!!! Oh I want it so bad now!!!!! Guess I will have to go to Frisch's and get their chili spaghetti (the only other spaghetti I like in a restaurant) YESSSSSSSSS the Champ was the same as the Buddie Boy at Frisch's too. The fudge cake too exact same thing!

    • @RaysontheRoad
      @RaysontheRoad  Před 27 dny +1

      It was across the street from the Speedway gas station and beside the post office, which is now also demolished. If you watched the video, you saw pictures of it inside and out. It's hard to believe you have been going to Pikeville for 33 years and never saw it. I think your wife and her family need their Eastern Ky credentials revoked. 😆 🤣 It only closed maybe 10 years ago, and the building demolished a few years after that. Are you sure you were going to the right Pikeville? This place was a local institution!

    • @RaysontheRoad
      @RaysontheRoad  Před 23 dny +1

      I'd like to visit that location. Great american restaurants, which was the largest franchisor of Denny's at the time bought the Jerry's chain out and closed or converted most of then to Denny's. Its odd that it is called the Jerry's Great American Restaurant. It also does not look like any of the Jerry's Family Restaurant locations i have been to. There is also an unrelated Jerry's chain out west.
      Are you from Urichsville? Do you know anything about the history of this location? Was it always a Jerry's or was it a Denny's at some point?
