“I knew when I walked in and immediately heard Led Zeppelin that this would be an amazing restaurant, not only was I correct on this but the place exceeded my expectations, the waitress was funny and very kind, gave us more napkins without us even asking and refilled our drinks, this wonderful employee was Judy, the place allowed you to sit wherever you wanted which I loved because I dislike being seated near people and feeling like they are listening to me. The food was very amazing, the best pancakes I have had. I recommend this place greatly“

“12/19/25: Server Fenisha (sp) 5:45 pm. I have been by this location going to the post office so many times and just plain missed it. It next to but under the bridge level along the river bank. Across from the Fire Department. Very inviting look to it as you approach. We parked under the bridge curbside, and felt safe in the area. Walked maybe 100 feet. Entered technically from the back into the bar area. Very warm friendly folks, not loud, big vintage chairs at the table we sat at looking out the massive beautiful windows. The restrooms are through the other side of the dinning room which is not far away, lots of history on the way back to look at. The tables in the dinning room were so intimate and quaint, the gas fireplace was on and it was perfect. We will be back to sit in that room, we just didnt want to jump ship on our server that night. The menu which is on their sites is very inviting, and price pointed far better then most. The taste was on point and the helping sizes were fairly large. It was a much-needed night out to go hide from our lives for a couple hours. We enjoyed it and we will be back, probably together, and bringing friends on occasion. I love the history of the longest running family business in the town, and the town itself. Another Tennessee gem, I give it 4.5 stars only gripe I had was they were out of shrimp and the pineapple cake. LOL Thank you team, we will update this as we visit in the future.“

“Everything, great food, service and friendly atmosphere“

“I forgot to praise the peach milkshakes. OUTSTANDING. Try it and see. If you like peaches you definitely won't be disappointed“

“This is a great little restaurant in Loudon. The old train depot. It’s has a little of the old mixed with hints of a sports bar.

I ordered the Mushroom Swiss burger and my wife had the Pulled Pork Tacos. The dishes presented well and the food was hot.

The service was very good and our glasses never ran dry without refills.

It’s a nice place to have a meal.“

“Many times I have been to Jay's to dine, and take-out. I'm addicted to his fabulous menu. Today I tried his smoked chicken, OMG what a dish!“

“I eat here at least once a week and all the girls there do a great job. Food comes out quick and the servers keep my cup filled. What more can a customer need??“

“The crabs were over cooked and the oil needs to be changed
UPDATED: ordered fish, chicken amd lobster rolls. The fish seems to be better quality than before. The oil was clean amd the food was perfect cooked. The chicken tenders are now hand breaded and nice portions. Some of the best tenders in town actually! The lobster rolls were minced but flavored okay. The fried okra was surprisingly great. Overall this restaurant has improved drastically.“
