The food is astonishing. I'm amazed this place isn't packed wall-to-wall on the daily.

The restaurant owner, Jay, is also the chef. He's friendly, keeps a very clean establishment, and his cooking is a thing of legend.

My favorite dish is the fish tacos, served on a house made fried tortilla with sweet chili sauce and it's huge. The fish is tender and flaky, the sauce is tangy and sweet with just a bit of heat.

You...

Great food and fun time! When you go in, you get to pick your own seats either inside or out! For our meals, I got the Fish and Chips with plain fries and my boyfriend got the crab cake sandwich (which he absolutely loved). We are teens so we are always looking for less expensive places with great food, and that was Jay’s! Very reasonably priced with yummy food. We also loved the vibe inside. The staff was so incredibly sweet! This place is definitely worth a try!! Will come...

unfortunately, it was not a clean restaurant. one table was a messy make-shift office but also all the surfaces seemed so dirty. The service was great, but they need to keep a cleaner place.
