I heard about Jay's through a crypto project on Solana that seemed to celebrate Albemarle. I was skeptical, but I decided to visit Jay's myself to experience the restaurant for myself. Boy, was I blown away! The buffet was such a great deal, and the fish was so fresh, despite Albemarle not being a coastal city. I told my friends, and we're planning a monthly trip as soon as my favorite restaurant reopens.

Nice historic buffet style seafood house. Too bad it burned down in December 23. Thinking the might rebuild.

Jays Seafood was always a good buffet. Awesome owners and staff. Endless attention to detail and prices are amazing. Only issue now they are closed Indefinitely due to a fire that sustained just after New Years a tremendous amount of damage to the kitchen and dining room. God Bless the owners and that no one was hurt.

Simple country cooking in traditional family style atmosphere. The fish is great but I actually found the chicken and dumplings were my favorite! The employees were polite and friendly.

It had a while since I've eat at Jay's, but it was worth the wait. And since I had a craving for eating different selections,the buffet did not disappoint. Everything from the waitress to the food was awesome!!

My mouth is watering just looking back at my own photos of this restaurant. I rode my motorcycle to Morrow Mountain near Albemarle, NC, I needed to get some lunch so my friend and I opted to try this place sight unseen. We had never been to Jay's Seafood Restaurant before. Had never heard of it. We rode from Fort Bragg, NC that day. Well, we were amazed at how much food they had and how fast they could replace it on the buffett. I saw the restaurant on Google Maps but, I did not realize that it was a buffet.Hot fish, hot shrimp, hot peach cobbler. Cool strawberry shortcake, ice cream on top of everything else. I had stew beef and rice, country ham, fried chicken, biscuits, and more fish.Anyone reading this should just go ahead and check their hours on Google Maps then head on over there. For a very low price, you eat till your heart's content. Better food and service cannot be found in the Albemarle, NC area!!CASH ONLY mind you!Parking: Parking all the way around the building.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of room for kids and lots of kid friendly food.Wheelchair accessibility: Very good easy sloping ramp. Double doors.
