Jays was good at one time, but the last two times the chicken was not fresh, nor was the texture the same, I'm done.

How did I purchase 7 wings, get 5, then get called a liar after driving all the way to work I’m mad because I didn’t pay $11 for 5 wings. To top it off am I being charged for the seasoning that is literally supposed to be on the chicken? All I asked was for what was already going to be on my chicken on the side. This place had been crap with service and NOT providing SAFE food to eat. I got food poisoning from eating fish that had either been old or uncooked properly. Gave it 2 year before I decided l to give it another chance and they failed again, so STILL TRASH. 😂

This place has great catfish, but they have serious, bizarre issues with their side dishes that are unacceptable. I exclusively order from them through doordash. Two times I’ve been given pre packaged Mac and cheese that’s ice cold. Like literally taken out of the refrigerator and served to me. Two times I’ve ordered an Oreo cheese cake. Once, I was given a raspberry cheesecake (whatever) and now I’ve just been given a slice of lemon cake. Get it together. This is ridiculous.

First Time Trying This Place!
We ordered:
Shrimp and catfish combo 2 orders of catfish strips Chicken tenders Fried okra Fried mushrooms
When the food arrived, it was cold. I believe this had more to do with the weather than the restaurant itself. That said, everything was well-seasoned, and I especially enjoyed the fried mushrooms and okra.
Unfortunately, I did get food poisoning after eating some of the catfish, okra, and mushrooms. Additionally, the fish in the shrimp and catfish combo was not catfish—it tasted more like perch or another type of fish, which was disappointing.
Because of the food poisoning and our dissatisfaction with the combo, we couldn’t eat the chicken tenders or the second order of catfish strips. Altogether, about $30 worth of food went to waste, which was disappointing since we spent around $60 in total. Since we don’t have a fish and chicken restaurant like this in our area, we were excited to try it, so this experience was a letdown.
I can’t speak to the physical location or customer service, as we used a delivery service. We were coming from out of town on a business trip as well(if that matters).I do hope this was a one-time issue. If not, I strongly encourage the restaurant to prioritize cleanliness and quality control to ensure customers don’t have similar experiences.
Recommendations for future customers: We may or may not come back into town in the future whether for pleasure or business, if we do, at this time as unfortunate as it is,I don’t think this will be a restaurant we eat at for a second time unless reviews change for the better and feedback is given.
Pay attention to reviews before ordering. This might be a place where going into the store to pick up your food is a better option, as you can ensure it’s fresh and assess the appearance, cleanliness, and overall vibe of the restaurant. When deciding whether to eat here, consider all the factors—quality, freshness, and value for your money especially if you’re looking for something worth the price.
Please do not eat from this place. Please heed the warning. There is no way they are passing the health inspection. I always ask family when I see them eating chicken "where did you order that from?" If they say Jay's I tell them stop ordering from that place. People if you walk into an establishment and it stinks, and is filthy RUN!! Look at the workers, they don't even look clean. They know they sell low grade food in the neighborhood and they don't care!! Stop eating here just because your to lazy to go somewhere clean or cook yourself. Love yourself enough to make sure your eating at a clean restaurant. Always check reviews!! They are low for a reason. Also notice how this place never comments on the reviews 🤔🧐Huge red flag!! You have been warned. This place should be shut down until they clean up and are inspected and given a A +.

The fish is nasty. The chicken is nasty. The fry it with no love for cooking. There's no seasoning and you can taste the old used oil. They are not here to serve the community with good food. They just want your money and sale you sht food..

I ordered food for my family via doordash and it was a mess. The fish looked like it had been kicked around on the floor. The chicken was old and I ordered hushpuppies and got fries instead. I took the food back to this location and to my surprise this place was disgusting!! So nasty and dirty ?. The young lady at the window was extremely rude as well. I don't recommend eating anything from this place. How the health department is allowing them to serve food out of here blows my mind!! Go to Lunas there restaurants are clean and they take pride in there work. J's fish and chicken set up in black communities and offer subpar food with horrible customer service.

Never ate here... but everytime I do doordash here they take forever. I get there, foods never ready. They say "it'll be 5 minutes".. 15 minutes later I'm still standing there. Wish they'd work on that. Also, nobody wears gloves, or hairnets...and that's gross.
