I stumbled upon this place walking through town. My grandparents grew up in Iron Mountain. My great grandfather, John Hollander, immigrated from Liverpool, England and was a miner. My grandmother taught me to make pasties like she did for her dad. Jean Kay's pasties are out of this world. Flakey crusts, tasty ingredients inside, and made with Iron Mountain pride and love. I ate the breakfast bacon and egg pasty and bought chicken and broccoli. I bought the partially cooked/frozen because this place sells out quickly. I traveled to Chicago with the pasties two weeks later and they were as good as made that day. One pastie fed two of us. I guess it is all about your appetite. The pasties can be purchased cooked or partially frozen. Both are equally great!! If you are driving near Iron Mountain, you must stop and purchase the pasties! Have fun deciding which to purchase.

Definitely worth the hype and trying the UP favorite. Great flavor and I enjoyed the pasties. I wish they have smaller size for the savory flavors so we can try more than one flavor.

My girlfriend and I wanted to try a pasty from somewhere we've never been, and Jean Kay's flank steak and rutabaga pasty was filling and delicious!

OMG! Food for the soul! Such a variety and such good food. And, the nicest people you will EVER meet. We have been coming here since 1994. The food is just as good as ever. It is so good that we planned a stop in Iron Mountain, Michigan, during our 50th wedding anniversary, North America RV vacation. So, after 14,500 miles, 2 months in Canada, 1 month in Alaska, and continuing with our return to SC, we made our rondevu and stocked up. Thanks for the wonderful experience.

Caution: this is a review for those that either understand, or wish to understand the unique brilliance of Yooper culture. A "pah-stee" is a Cornwall-ish institution. Like any country's meat pie of origin, e.g., knish, pierogi, spanakopita, empanadas, wanton, pot sticker.., well, you get the idea... When I ascend the latitude separating the lower parts from the UP, I make it a point to time my passage through Iron Mountain so as to stock up on Jean Kay's Pasties.

Great pasties, great service. One of the U P's best pasties. No instore seating though; take out only. Hot, half-baked or frozen.

The food from this place must be infused with magic! The ladies in charge were so friendly and accommodating as well. The pasties were so good we had to come back for more the next day. Perfect place to stop in while traveling for a quick bite to eat!
