Unhappy Big Price Increase at Jerry's!

It's also a bit of a hike from the Loop, sadly.
I've been a big fan of Jerry's since I found out about it. Imagine my surprise when I ordered my favorite sandwich and a homemade cookie (they looked particularly good today) to go, expecting to pay $9.00 and the price was $10.25! If I had stayed in and had a drink, I'd have paid at least $11.75. That's a little steep for a sandwich at a place where you stand in line to order. Granted the sandwiches are great, and you get an unmemorable small side, but the new $8.75 price has to qualify as a rip off when you can get virtually any sandwich and home-made chips next door at Beer Bistro for less (and even a $2 burger on Tuesdays) and get waited on and watch sports on HD on several screens. It's not like the $7.50 previous price was exactly a deal.

My at least once a week business is no más.
