Used to love this place ever since new owners took over have had nothing but problems, they are out of what I try to order every single time I’m there. Whatever I end up ordering is poor portions. Don’t know if my luck is just that bad but I’ll just save my time and stop going.

Excellent food. Hot and fresh. Can smell how good it is pulling in. Son said best fish sandwich he's had, and he loves fish sandwiches...

The girls are always very customer friendly. Food is good. They still do the order at the car with the speaker ? and they'll bring it out. 50s 60s atmosphere. Fun deco. Even got a juke box. (Not sure if it works) Blue Moon is MY FAVORITE!!!
My family were passing thru and needed to eat lunch and found this location. And not that I was complaining but didn't have a lot of options. The lady who greeted me was very courteous and patient as I was looking at the menu. She was quite helpful to make suggestions and made sure what my options were. The food took a little bit longer then expected but otherwise the food was alright. No complaints!!

Cold food! How they get away with serving cold hot dogs and sandwiches is beyond me. Place used to pretty good but last 3 stops have been terrible. Cold sandwiches?!?!?! Come on.

Stopped for ice cream only. They were out of 3 of the 4 items we ordered. But our alternatives were also tasty and plentiful. Server was friendly and fun. None of the call boxes work anymore which was part of the fun of going to an old-fashioned drive-in. Hopefully this will be repaired for next year. Great ice cream, especially the waffle cones.
Dining room was hot. No prices on menu board. Prices are too high for what you get. Waited on food for over 35 minutes and they were NOT busy. Food was mediocre, at best. Very disappointing. Drove from Freeport to come here. Not worth the drive.

This was like going back in time. You push the order button and a live person comes to write down your order, unlike the modern machines where you can't hear the person or worse, they can't understand you. Good burgers and sandwiches and really good ice cream. We had twist comes. :) I did see the car hop walk buy with kids meals that were in a box shaped like an old car. We went back during our visit in this area.

Always a great experience at Jay's! Had pork tenderloins, onion rings, and root beer floats. None better! The staff is always helpful and friendly. Will be back soon!
The pork tenderloin was as good as I remember. One member of my group uses a walker and she found it difficult getting around. When we were eating we weren't sure where to put her walker so we pushed in the chairs between the 2 tables across from us. If anyone would have needed those tables we don't know what we would have done.Wheelchair accessibility: Definitely NOT wheelchair accessible for inside dining. I do realize this is a drive-in that has inside seating, but anyone not familiar with this restaurant would not know that.

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! ??????

I stopped going here 20 years ago because I saw a fork tail bug on the counter. The inside always smells musty too from what I remember.
There food is always fresh and good. Great customer service. Clean
