Jerry Remy’s Sports Bar & Grill

I don’t go to Jerry Remy’s too often, but have been going a few times a year regularly for several years now. Service, food, and atmosphere have consistently been good and I look forward to going back every time.
Atmosphere — Two words: HUGE TVs! This is primarily why I go here. I’m a Blues hockey fan, so when they play the Bruins, I want to see it on a HUGE TV. The restaurant is large, airy, with lots of wood and a bit of an old factory industrial feel. The bar is long and beautiful. We have only ever sat in the bar area, usually at a high-​top table facing the wall of ginormous TVs and, even on the most crowded Friday night, it never felt tight. And speaking of seating…
Service — Because I go here specifically to watch games, I always ask for a high-​top booth facing the bar/​TVs. I understand, of course, there’s only so much the hostess can do (especially when the place is hopping), but they have happily accommodated me every time. That is a big deal because I know I’m going to be there for around three hours and I want to be comfortable.
The table servers are helpful, attentive, and friendly. I can’t think of a time where the service knocked my socks off, but I also can’t think of any time I was disappointed/​neglected/​treated badly/​etc. I call that a win.
Since I’m there for three hours at a time, I obviously can’t eat the whole time. Despite this, my server has never (ever ever) made me feel rushed or like a nuisance. They check on my every once in a while, bring a new beer or drink when I need it (I try to space them out), and are always friendly. If they are secretly cursing me, they’ve never let it show.
Food — For the most part, I have enjoyed everything I’ve eaten very much. Top prizes go to the truffle parmesan fries and mango habanero wings (my husband dreams of those!). Honorable mentions go to the nachos and turkey bacon wrap. The only item hubbie and I have been disappointed with is the margherita pizza; it was boring and flavorless. There is good variety of beers and a full bar, too.
Worth Noting — My most recent visit was when the Blues were playing, but not the Bruins (it was a playoff game); hence, they did not have the game on. I asked them if they could put it on one of the side TVs (still big, just not the HUGEST) and they did, happily.
Overall, this place wins HUGE (last one, I promise) points for being so accommodating and friendly. The food is mostly really good and I’m confident that most things I order are going to satisfy. It’s definitely my go-​to place for a game, really good food, and great service.

I had the kicking chicken with paste, and my wife had the fall Rev burger. Both the meals were delicious. They even had a large selection of craft beers. The atmosphere on the deck was also nice. I would recommend this place to all my friends.

Good service. Ordered the Rubin it was great. Fast service. Only bad was the music was a little noisy but it was trivia night. Would come back.

We came here because a fat italian man told us the burgers were great and he can cook. I figured it must be worth a shot. Boy, was I wrong!
I’m giving it 2 stars only because the inside of the place was nice. The was even a TV behind the bathroom mirror! We actually sat out side on the deck and it was a lovely day. The view of the electrical wires and Nuke plant cooling towers is bar-​none. No one ever called Fa Reeve scenic.
The server was friendly and offered us the specials. I ordered a burger, and frankly, it is the worst burger I’ve had at a restaurant in a while. It reminded me of a school cafeteria, only dressed up nicer. The quality of the beef was deplorable. Fast food would have been an improvement.
My mother seemed to enjoyed her walnut salad with salmon, but the salmon wasn’t great. I don’t think her salad was a good deal at $ 18. We should have gone to the Cover instead. It’s got better food and better views.

When this place first opened, I wasn’t impressed the first few times I came. I tried it three times and didn’t like the food and service was okay.
Fast forward to a few days ago, and my fiancé and I decided to try it again. The service was phenomenal. Our waitress was excellent. The food tasted better than we remembered. It isn’t the best food ever, but it’s a good. It’s a great local spot for when we want a chill evening or enjoy a game on the big screens!

We visited Jerry Remy’s twice in the past 30 days (both times with reservations) for Kid’s Night. I love that they are working with an outside local company to have character visits on Kid’s Night. Kids eat free on Wednesdays! When I called 2 weeks prior the man that answered the phone was rude and short and said there was no space. I had already had my name in to be on a list if times were extended. I called back 2 days before and another man offered a high top table (just not a booth) for myself and my son to eat, which we were fine with. I found the first guy just didn’t want to deal with it. I also think the FB website is pretty non-​responsive once they create the kid’s events. If they are going to throw an event out there and have tons of people asking the same questions, they should at least have someone answering them, especially when they extend event times but call only to find there STILL is no space.
Both times I ordered a basic cheeseburger, nothing fancy. We ate for 2 adults and 1 (free) toddler both times as well and the bill was about $ 40.00 with tip for 2 adults, no alcohol, 1 shared dessert (decent sized to share after a big burger). I know most times you can get things made to order… however I did find the prices to be a little steep considering what you were getting, especially dessert.
I liked my burger but on night 1 it came without the bacon I ordered. The waitress was quick to bring it out on a plate but I was already OK and eating without while it was warm. The waitresses both times were very friendly and courteous and kept checking back. On my second visit (I got take out after we ate as my fiancé’ couldn’t make it) the manager (I assume) came around asking if everything was OK about half way through our meal.
The atmosphere is nice and clean, the wait staff was friendly, food was pretty decent, too. No specials or anything suggested thought, so we stuck with what we knew. I ordered take out for my fiancé the second time and he said they (Mango Habenero wings) were good, and HOT!
We would return again… probably on kid’s night for dinner. Or just for drinks and snacks during the game. I don’t think I would go out of my way to go there on an average night for dinner.

Good sports bar and wide selection of food. Large selection of beer with frequent new selections. When it first opened the food wasn’t prepared well and service was mediocre.
The food is now much better prepared and the service is usually very good.
Lots of tv screens so you don’t miss anything. They even have had decent live entertainment but I’m not sure if this is regular or what.
For me it’s a great casual fall back place where I can get a good burger or pasta dish, a good beer and a relaxing atmosphere. BTW — they have much more than burgers and pasta.
Definitely worth a try.

I went once for lunch in the fall when I had a day off work. I was pleasantly surprised. I had seen some less than favorable reviews… but my party had great service and really good food. Atmosphere was clean, servers were friendly. If not for the horrible construction in the area I would have gone back since

I’ve been to this one and the Boston one. The environment is nice so long as you like it LOUD and the food is passable but not really worth it. It’s really only for people who want to watch the game and don’t care about the price/​quality of the food.

Great place for food and drinks … Fun to watch a game … Service is a little slow and the waitresses are ghetto but other then that its a fun place

What a great place to watch a ballgame! Massive televisions offer all the sensory overload a sports fan could ever dream of. And on a warm summer’s day, the outdoor deck can be very nice place to enjoy a sandwich and a cool breeze, too.
But the food? Not bad., but not so great either. Following a longer than expected wait on a slow weekday afternoon, my fries (an odd item for a menu specialty) arrived less than hot and my burger was thick and flavorful, but leaked enough grease to turn my bun to mush.
Would I return? Yes! I’d drop in, order a cold beer and enjoy the Sox in a fun atmosphere — I’d just might think about having dinner somewhere else first.

Wings on Thursday night. Yummy. Love the stuffed quahog to go with the wings and $ 5 margaritas.

Let’s keep this short. I don’t think you should eat at Jerry Remy’s. I have eaten here twice and both times were a mistake. Sitting at the bar each time taught me enough to not want to come back.
PROS:
*Do you like sports TV? There’s giant TV screens showing sports at all times. You can see these screens from anywhere in the facility. Watching a big game here is a helluva experience with a good crowd.
*Free house made potato chips.
*Nice outside area for live entertainment.
*Good beer selection, lots of ciders and shandys on tap.
CONS:
*Came in the winter and there were fruitflies all over the bar, particularly around the taps. Came back in the summer… and there’s still fruitflies everywhere around the bar, now including regular houseflies. There’s also gunk collecting behind the taps holder on the leftmost tap area– right near customers. The bar needs significant cleaning to get rid of those flies.
*Food is overpriced, no specials for dinner.
*Appetizers are no good. Last time I went I got overcooked pretzel sticks that were rock hard and salt free. This time I ordered bruschetta and what came out was a slice of tomato slapped onto a warm piece of bread with balsamic glaze on top– not bruschetta.
Fall River needs all the solid businesses it can get so I hope Jerry Remy’s gets its’ act together and fixes things before they end up closing like the Boston location did.
ETA: Boston Remy’s reopened with new management.

I would have to say I was bouncing back and forth between a 2 and a 3, but this place has one redeeming property thats sticks out and puts it in the 3 category. Overall, this place is a place I would go to watch a sports game. I would never go again for a dinner greater than a cheese burger.
The redeeming property I was talking about earlier is the incredible sports watching atmosphere. This place has two enormous (and when I mean enormous like I mean larger than I have ever seen (I think?)). The area is open so that everyone in the restaurant could watch the game on the same giant screen. While sitting there I was imagining the Bruins 2011 Stanley Cup Games or this year’s Superbowl! It must be an incredible experience; the energy, the community. Do you know what I mean? To go with the game watching experience, you have a selection of cheap beer and a selection of craft beer also. I noticed they had Westport Vineyards Wine, which is real good wine.
The food on the other hand was incredibly bland. I got the full rack of baby back ribs. It came with a mound of homemade potato chips and coleslaw. All 3 items on the plate were bland. The ribs had no rub on them, just an overly sweet sauce with no heat and monotonic flavor (in my opinion you need a rub for flavor and texture). They seemed to rely solely on the sauce (which seemed to be a theme). Neither the potatoes or the slaw had any seasoning; salt, pepper, garlic, chili powder, paprika, celery salt, anything would have been nice! My fiancé got the Steak Tips. Once again, the tips basically were just smothered in A1 stake sauce after being grilled. They lacked any other real seasoning. The one thing that did have flavor were her green beans which had an abundance of garlic (which I loved, I love garlic) but it was terribly overwhelming. You couldn’t even taste the green beans.
Go here for sports, beer, burgers (hopefully they’re decent), and apps.
I will be back for burgers to see if they are good soon. I will let you know.

I would love to write a great review of this place, but I just can’t.
Food and drink are definitely 4 star worthy. Their burgers are fantastic (although very expensive) and their drinks are great as well (although also expensive). I went here on my birthday one year and was given a free birthday shot (and charged $ 8 for the second one for my boyfriend, which seemed quite pricey). But everything tastes great.
My issue with this place goes back to an experience I had during a Boston Bruins playoff game. I went with a group of three other people and we got there very early for dinner to make sure we had good seats with a view of the TV. We had dinner, but didn’t just stop spending money and expect to keep our seats. We bought drinks all night long and ended up with quite an expensive tab.
In the last period of the game, a band (or DJ?) started to set up their equipment directly in front of or table, blocking our view of the television. We asked our waitress if they could wait until the end of the game, or at least push it off to the side a little so we could see. Nothing was done. We called a manager over who said he’d see what he could do. Nothing was done. We were left with a $ 200+ bill (likely in the $ 300 range since everything is so pricey but I can’t remember) and were forced to stand around with the people who came in last minute just to catch the game if we wanted to watch.
We got no apology, nothing knocked off our bill. I went to their facebook page the next day with my complaints and even posted photos of the equipment and how it obstructed our view and never got a response.
It’s been awhile since this experience, but I have not gone back, and I likely won’t. Which makes me sad because I wanted to love Remy’s. But I just can’t get past the unwillingness of the staff to help out before who had spent hours at their restaurant tallying a bill that cost hundreds of dollars.

I’ve been here a bunch so I think my opinion is pretty accurate. I’ve had some pretty good food here and taken advantage of the thursday wing specials. But I just can’t bring myself to come here often for a couple of reasons.
Recently I stopped in in a Saturday with 2 other people looking to eat and drink. There was a 10 minute wait so we went to the bar, it literally took ten minutes for the bar tender to notice us. We had bar seats and we were patiently waiting. This might not sound that bad, but it happens all the time. You literally get the feeling that the bar staff and servers don’t care, as if they think that they are doing you a favor by being there.
To that point, beers are 5+ bucks a pop. If I’m going to go to a sports bar and pay that price for a beer I expect the service and food to be pretty good at least. It’s not and it rarely is. The bar staff is always the same when I go in and the service is frequently sub par.
It seriously baffles me that the management lets these people work here considering all the bad reviews and experiences people have had here. But it’s clear, the managers don’t train there staff, they don’t let the bad ones go, and the managers don’t manage.
Conclusion, cool atmosphere and hit or miss everything else. As I mentioned about my last time there, we finally got drinks, drank them and went somewhere else where we were much more satisfied. Hopefully the management wakes up one day and makes some changes.

I went to Jerry Remy’s in Fall River when it first opened awhile back, and, while I wasn’t thrilled with all of the food (although the appetizers were really good), the servers, and the prices, I decided to give it another shot when my family was in the area. We hit the place at 4:45 on a Saturday afternoon after taking our three little ones to Fantasyland in Seekonk, figuring we’d fight the crowds and get an early supper. When we arrived, the place was half-​empty, with most of the crowd sitting at the bar watching the huge bank of TV sets and drinking, while maybe a half-​dozen tables were filled in the dining area. We were given a seat in one of the restaurants enormous and comfy corner booths, and our server arrived to take our drink order — a couple of Diet Cokes and two chocolate milks (our youngest is only 9 months old and doesn’t know anything but «the boobie»).
Our drinks came relatively quick, and we browsed the menu. I was disappointed however, that the restaurant had changed up and downsized its menu a lot (it’s a six page menu, and only two of those pages are for food), also «dumbing down» the choices to make the choices more sports pub-​like rather than the creative American cuisine they’d originally offered. I especially noticed this in the appetizer section, where they once offered goat cheese stuffed jalapenos and a pretty decent poutine topped with duck confit, but now featured things like nachos and sliders.
The waitress came back with our drinks, and we put in our order — a Remy Burger for the wife, a Kobe Burger for me, a Bacon Cheeseburger for the 6 year old, and the junior sliders for the 2 year old. I also ordered nachos for the table as the older kid and I like to fight over the cheesy ones and leave the sad, naked chips to the less aggressive members of our family (ie; the wife and the 2 year old; the latter of which was busy dancing on his seat and trying to pull the Venetian blinds off of the windows).
It took about twenty minutes (and a lot of bellyaching from me and the oldest) but the nachos arrived, and they were actually pretty decent, with a spicy shredded beef and bean chili, and heaps of cheese. I liked how the chili was served beneath the chips and toppings as this actually made all of the chips worthy game. Even the wife got some.
The nachos went fast, but we were all still pretty hungry, so everyone was still looking forward to their main dishes. And look forward we did. We also looked up, down, and sideways because that’s all we had to do for next 40 minutes. During that time, the restaurant was nearly full, the 6 year old nodded off, and the 2 year old became the leader of his own civilization beneath our table, occasionally popping his head up to lob a balled up napkins he’d soaked in his now warm and putrid chocolate milk at passersby.
Finally, our waitress returned and asked us if we wanted more drinks. She also said our food would be out «any minute». «Any» turned out to mean 20, but, when she returned, we were all too famished/​exhausted/​disheartened to utter more than a vaguely thankful grunt.
I’m going to say this right up front. My Kobe Burger was pretty damned amazing. It tasted fantastic despite not being even remotely close to «medium rare» as ordered. It had the nice, slightly gamey beef flavor of a high quality cut of meat, and the mellow melted brie and salty prosciutto harmonized with the sweet and tangy balsamic glazed onions wonderfully. The accompanying Parmesan truffle fries were a great compliment to the dish. Yeah, it’s white truffle oil — the red-​headed stepchild of all things truffle — but it wasn’t nearly as overpowering or assertive as it often is, and, when paired with the grated Parmesan, the flavor was actually a compelling argument for the validity of white truffle oil’s existence.
If only all of the meals were as good as mine.
While my 6 year old ate half his burger (which is actually a lot as he HAS to order off of the adult menu because he’s «not a baby»), I could tell by the remnants that it was way overdone and bone-​dry. That, however, was nothing compared to the two charcoal briquettes masquerading as sliders on the 2 year old’s plate. Not only were they burnt, they weren’t even burger shaped, bearing more of a resemblance to something one would scoop out of a litter box. My wife’s burger was, as she described, «meh.» When your namesake burger gets a «meh», you may want to rethink things.
Anyway, the waitress scampered by and we flagged her down for the check and a takeaway box (the sliders would be perfect for our lab, as he loves eating cat poo). The total came to $ 70 bucks. For three burgers and a kid’s meal, that’s pretty steep but, were the rest of the meals as good as my own, I wouldn’t have had a problem with it. I’m willing to pay for great food! Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case, and this, paired with the slow service makes it unlikely we’ll return anytime soon.

Go with low expectations. I can’t really complain about my meal, which was a veggie wrap. Surprisingly good. However, all the others I ate with seemed to have problems with the quality of their food: chicken was cold, salmon was under-​cooked (that’s inexcusable), and the hotdog wasn’t that great. Maybe we hit them on an off night because they’ve been okay or other friends/​family in the past.
Items (food and alcohol) are definitely overpriced. I would not say many of those items should be priced over $ 10. Still not a bad place to have a drink with someone or share an appetizer. Not sure I’d recommend going purely for the entrees.
Atmosphere is pretty cool with the giant televisions and high ceilings. Parking is easy.

Three stars instead of four because some of the prices on some items were a bit high.
When this place first opened there were so many stories of one and two hour waits for tables. We waited until now to go and went on an off-​hour. There were plenty of free tables both outside and inside. We opted to eat inside. It’s nice inside with plenty of massive TV screens if you wanted to catch a game there. Since there was no big game while we were there, in our case, we got to watch investigators search Aaron Hernandez’s home on 17 foot and 14 foot screens. What more could a person want? ;) Hey, it was better than watching the screen that had the Yankees game on.
Service was great. No complaints about the server at all. They have a good selection of draft beers, wine and cocktails. My husband had the Pretty Things Jack D’or on draft and I had a blueberry cosmo. Thumbs up on both. We started with the mussels which were nice and spicy and had a lot of grilled chourico in them.
My husband had the salmon for his entrée, which was served with potatoes, broccoli and asparagus. Any of the burgers can be made with beef, turkey or a black bean patty. I had a turkey burger. and didn’t want fries so decided to pay extra for a side salad instead. It was a good-​sized salad. Thumbs up on both of our meals.
My husband decided to end his meal with some of Don Julio tequila. $ 14 was a bit much for a middle of the road tequila. In my opinion the entrée prices are reasonable. Some of the appetizers are overpriced and some of the drinks are overpriced.
We would return, but I think my husband would pass on the after dinner tequila and just wait to have some at home.

Had Nachos, they weren’t terrible, they weren’t the best. They were just…
nachos. On my search for the perfect nachos, these aren’t it, but these aren’t inedible either. I got a black bean burger, and he got a Remy burger. We both had the same problem eating our burgers, they were squishy as anything, which was terribly annoying. We also got our fries with garlic parmesan flavoring and that was amazing, however if you don’t like garlic, this isn’t for you! I could literally see the garlic chunks on top of my fries, which I loved! All in all I would give the food three stars this time around, but makes the difference was the customer service. The bartender was excellent for starters. Then while we were eating, we were approached by:
1. The bartender
2. The manager
3. One of the chefs
To ask us how our meal was. If That isn’t customer service, I don’t know what is!
