Delicious breakfast and donuts! Omelets are prepared to perfection! Warm friendly staff + a very happy cook!

WHO STOPS MAKING BREAKFAST AT 930 AM AND STARTS COOKING HAMBURGERS?? SO DISAPPOINTED. THEN WE ARE OFFERED SOGGY, NASTY LOOKING "YESTERDAYS" BREAKFAST SANDWHICHES? Would say food is good except you can't get it when you want it? Don't think looking for a breakfast sandwhich before 10 am is too much to ask for

I got the grilled chicken on Parmesan bun with a side of fries... The sandwich was bigger than expected and delicious.. The bun tastes homemade.. super soft

Absolutely the BEST donuts in the MissLou area and the most friendly staff!! We go there at LEAST once a week and it's always the same!!

Excellent Customer Service. Good food. Friendly staff.

On 10/11/24 I was in a rush to ensure that our class was ready for the Natchez High Homecoming parade and forgot to pick up my XL tray order. The staff at Jerry's had made several attempts to contact me but I didn't initially hear it during the setup chaos. I finally answered and was mortified that we were about to roll on the parade float. Not only did the manager take my payment over the phone but waited until someone arrived to pick it up! They are wonderful and always so friendly ?? Thank you all so mu

If anyone in town ever has a food cooking contest, nobody else should ever enter if Jerry's Donut Shop enters, cuz you would lose. Hands down the best food and service in this area. Everyone was so friendly. We stopped to get donuts and ended up having lunch, because if the donuts were that good, we could only imagine how good the food would be. And we were right! Not only was the donuts the best Ive ever had, that food was so good that we ate as fast as we would have eaten in a food eating contest. We coul

The burger was made to order and while the meat was good, it was a little small for $8 dollars. Normally I would have given 3 stars, but that BUN! That is simply the best hamburger bun I have ever had. Period. I want a dozen of them and I'm going to get 'em!

OMG! Lunch was super good! I got the pepper steak and onions with green beans and fries. The green beans were superb, slowly cooked in bacon. The fries were cooked to a golden brown...perfect. The beef was very flavorful and the onions were cooked just right. I wish they had donuts when I was there, but they said they run out about 1030......

Best sandwich trays and burgers! I've never been disappointed in anything I"ve gotten there. Even though it is very hectic, especially at lunch, the staff is friendly and courteous to everyone that comes in. You might have to wait sometimes, because the food is so good, so it's best to call ahead if you are on a time schedule. You can even call in a day ahead.

Best burger in the miss-lou, John and his staff aim to please and you will not be disappointed!!!!

I love the hamburgers ???? they're delicious ??

Sandwich tray was a BIG HIT for our gathering

Being a Baker by trade I know fresh baked goods when I see them. This place is outstanding the staff was extremely friendly remembered my Name after being there just one day couldn't help myself we started going every morning and for lunch. Everything is freshly made like a home cooked meal. And I cannot say enough about the women that work there they're all so very nice. Can't wait till next year when we go back to Natchez so I can stop at Jerry's donuts.

The homemade bread at Jerry's is baked fresh daily. I had the grilled chicken on a sesame bun & fries. They were both delicious! Their donuts also scrumptious.

Went there for lunch based on a recommendation of a local. They did not steer us wrong! The sandwiches were absolutely wonderful and finished it up with an apple fritter. I think it may be THE BEST FRITTER I've ever eaten!

Perfect little small town donut shop! They went above and beyond to get everything I needed in my order. Made more donuts on the spot when they were out of what I needed!

Chicken salad PoBoy on a fresh made bun was melt in your mouth delicious. The flavour of the bun and chicken salad and other fresh ingredients were perfect. My only complaint is I can't go everyday because I live in Canada. The donuts are fantastic too.

First of all no donuts. No coffee, no hot tea. Their sign say HOT COFFEE and donuts is in their name. Got the there noon . Very disappointed.

Went to get takeout donuts during Covid - they opened a window so no one had to go inside - Very Clever and Safe! But the traffic on the road is so loud, and wearing masks - no one can hear each other. Ordered a breakfast biscuit, a sizzler, a chocolate donut with sprinkles and a cinnamon roll. Got cold biscuit and sizzler - sausage is very unappetizing sticking out of a sizzler cold... No chocolate donut - got a twist. Out of most things at 10 am. We're passing through, probably won't go back. Check your o

The best burger in 1000 miles hands down! I drove in from Miami and the only food I wanted from Vidalia or Natchez was that burger. I forgot to get chicken salad that stuff is amazing too ??

The donuts and pastries are delicious! Lunch sandwiches and plates are also very good. They close most days by 2 pm, but if the windsock man is flailing, it's a good sign something tasty is still available.

Great food if they?re open. Suppose to be open til 2 but refused to take my order at 1:30. And rude. Won?t be back

Nice people, good breakfast food all around and we ate in once and enjoyed looking at all the hot air balloon art!

I go in to get my sausage egg and cheese and usually a cinnamon roll they remember it from day-to-day they know who I am they ask me where I might be going today these are also good people the cook, the baker that does the cooking she remembers me and if she's trying something new she'll pass it out to me for me to try and tell her what I think I like going in Jerry's

No food no coffee, everytime i come to this location it states that it is open I walk in the lady gets an attitude says they are thru with orders, that was my last time coming to this locations, change your hours or get employees with better customer service, this was one of my favorite burger places!!????

I got the lunch special the other day...cheesy chicken spaghetti. It was delicious!! They have some of the best homemade pimento cheese and of course their donuts are great!

Great little donut shop. Friendly staff. Donuts were fresh and great!

Everything here is wonderful. The fresh baked bread they use for the sandwiches is phenomenal!

Bought finger sandwich tray for a party. They were amazing!!

They are always wonderful and the food is fantastic! Service is polite and quick.

Donuts don't taste fresh and should be warm...Natchez Donut Shop for a great Donut and can't beat the service..Well worth the drive...

Google says they close at 8 when they close at 1:45 per the rude girl that answered the phone while talking to other customers and me at the same time. Never even stepped foot in Jerry?s and will not ever

Jerry's is life ?? the only this I have to say about them are they can be a little bit too expensive. But they'll hold your donuts if you call and reserve them.??
