Wow! This place is Adorable with great service y'all! I had to take so many photos to appreciate the great job they did on their 50's style decor. So cute! 😍 The owner and his wife were si friendly and accommodating with us newbies to their restaurant. And they bring ypur food to your table or out to your car at one of the drive up spots which is a cool 50's style feature that a lot of folks enjoy. Their Ice Cream was Fabulously Yummy y'all! So many flavors! 😋👌🏽 I got a one scoop waffle cone that was Huge! 😁 lol. Now the sandwiches were good, I had the pulled pork which was Delicious!, but was also the smallest one I've ever had as they don't put much meat on it at all.. unfortunately I didn't even have a full bite if meat with every bite, it was mostly bun.. usually a sandwich like this is gunna be Packed with the meat and over flowing, this was underflowing, sad to say, as it was sooo good! 😕🤷🏽‍♀️ I got a side of these deep fried pickle spears that they serve in a frie package, so cute, very yummy, but wayy too salty so I was unable to eat more than just a few and had to chuck the rest. My son got a hot dog that was a huge, Chicago style dog and he loved it! 👌🏽 Our friend got the chicken strips which were a great size and he said they were Delicious! The onion rings we some of the Best we had ever tasted! Not too salty and the onion almost melted in my mouth as it was cooked so perfectly! 🤤😋👌🏽 lol. And Omgosh y'all, they have this Homemade Rootbeer that was thee Best tasting ever! 👏🏽😋😋😋🤤👌🏽 lol. A Must to try here! One last thing I have to add here, unfortunately because I really like this place and hoping this will be fixed soon as the owner said it would be, but their air conditioning was out and it was one of these Swealtering, heat advisory days so that definitely hampered the experience for me as I was sweating onto the seat and was ready to go sooner than Id hoped to be because it just got too uncomfortable after a while. The Ice Cream Did help though for sure y'all! Try this place out, I dont think you'll regret it! Yumm! 👌🏽😋🍦🍔🍟

We went to Jay's Drive-in tonight and were very disappointed in the food and service. When we got there it didn't appear to be that busy, but we had to wait about 5 minutes from when we pushed the button to order and when they actually took our order. From when we ordered and when we received our food it was 1 hour. After waiting about 45 minutes I repushed the button to ask what was going on with our order however they never responded to that so I called on the phone and after waiting 15 minutes on hold I asked what was going on with our order to which she said it just came up and she was on the way out with it. She finally came out with our order which totaled just a few cents shy of $25 I asked if it was normal to take an hour to get you order and she said it was because they had 2 new cooks they were training. When we opened our food every single bit of it was ice cold so it had been obviously sitting on a counter for who knows how long. Most of the food went straight in the trash. I would have given this place 1 star but we ate there a couple years ago and it was much better then so I know they are capable of better. The parking was plentiful and convenient to get into but it is my suggestion if they take a long time to take your order go elsewhere.

Prices are ridiculous, we paid an insane amount for a regular sized cheese curd and literally only got the bottom of the bag lined, their food is just going down in quality and I’m really upset that we just spent this much money on 10 cheese curds not even. Next time I’ll drive the extra 30 minutes round trip to go to the drive in in Byron. It’s sad how far this restaurant has fallen compared to last fall. I feel like I’ve literally been robbed.

Firstly, our family has always loved Jays and we wish the new owners great success. We also know it takes some time to get things “tweaked” when you first begin a business. I have been stopping in weekly and some times bi-weekly. Love their mushroom burgers and Ashby’s ice cream especially. Last week we had 2 of these great burgers. Yesterday not. One mushroom burger had 3 mushrooms on it and the other one had maybe 4. No comparison of what they had been. The large order of fries were all limp.. greasy. Not like we had gotten before. And the Ashby’s ice cream cones every single week .. some times twice a week I pick up were dripping before I even had one lick. This could be an easy fix. Turn the cooler temp down a notch or 2. They never were that way before. I usually order a whole quart every other week but will not do that until the ice cream is not so soft. Once again I hope the new owners get “tweaking” a few of these things that mean alot to customers because Jays can be awesome and I want to give them the 5 stars! Good...
