Jays has the best wait staff in Albemarle! Friendly, always smiling and you never have to wait on anything you need. Love this place because of the people and the food is good too!
lived in Albemarle since 1976 and my wife and I go here with her family and I order seafood platter, which was $24 and the oysters were undercooked and the crab looked more like a flat tire... Sorry but y'all can have it.
tea wasn't easy to get refills either and I drink a lot of tea. waitress didn't come around enough as should've.
And all this time I thought the place was excellent just by observing the cars there, then I finally went.
We had around 25 people there.
Great atmosphere and food was wonderful
