What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"This is easily one of our favorite local go to spots! Service is always great, food is always good and staff is nice. We love the idea of home cooked meal at a price that doesn't break the bank. We've had a little of everything here & have yet to have anything we haven't liked. Highly recommend them! Oh, & don't forget the pie!!"
"Jay Jays was a pleasant place to find a meal at affordable prices. Our waitress was really nice and made good recommendations on what to get. We ordered the cheese fries to start with their homemade ranch. They were tasty and filling, but be advised they are made with processed cheese slices and bacon. I had the pecan chicken and a dinner salad that counted for my 2 sides. The chicken was thin and so tender I could cut it with my fork. I would recommend it. The chicken fried steak looked and tasted like it was heated from a pre made frozen variety. We did not try the pies but they looked delicious. The prices are great here and they have specials for lunch and dinner."
