“We discovered this place a few months ago. What a great find! We have tried the papusas, tacos, burritos, beef short rib soup, and even a chocolate cake. Everything is excellent. The Short rib soup was amazing, and the choc cake was one of the best we’ve had.”

“The staff at this place are lovely. This is a great frame shop and they have everything you could want. Don't mistake that. I most enjoyed dealing with the staff of this very quirky shop. They didn't just help me find the perfect frames, they could actually appreciate the art I wanted framed in the first place. It's a great experience.”

“Great atmosphere with outdoor seating, the interior has a wonderful old time feel to it. The servers all check on you, but on busy days you may have to flag them down and they will attend your needs right away. The food is great too. They rotate different breweries around the country and we had some brews from Hawaii and another location, they were very good. Definitely stop by if you’re in town. Ohio State Buckeyes are definitely welcome.”

“Genuinely great burger! Super nice people!The place is definitely a hole in the wall and could use a good sprucing up, but their sanitation grade was a 96.5. I’ve seen fancy places with a lower score.What I liked about the burger is that although it was big and well done, it was very tender and juicy. You could tell they didn’t overwork the ground beef and the cashier said they get it from Angus Barn!Toppings were fresh and delicious and seasoned fries were greasy in the best of ways.You can eat in, but there’s not much ambiance and it’s a bit noisy.For sure will be going back to try more than a burger!”

“Jay's chicken is slapping, smacking, banging (aka amazing), and/ or whatever you want to call this DELICIOUSNESS! ?I live in Brier Creek, Raleigh, and I have passed this place over a dozen times heading back and forth to my father's house in the Blue Ridge Mountains of VA, and I finally had to stop..I was starving, had a craving for chicken, and it was a packed house, so that alone tells me there's gotta be something special there!Wooow!!!! This was the literally the best fried chicken I ever had and that says A LOT ming from someone who worked as a cook and Su-Chef for close to 15 years (I'm even writing my own cookbook right now).I slso used to manage a Bojangles close to 20 years ago, and I thought they had good chicken and biscuits, but now I'm thinking to myself... Bojangles, who?!?! Lol! ?Not only did I get an 8 piece (which was massive), but I also bought mashed potatoes, collards, and green beans! My wife doesn't eat pork due to religious reasons (I still do, lol), and they don't out pork in anything, and guess what?!? It still tastes like they put the ham hocks in there, lol!The food, staff, cooks, and customer service were impeccable!The best part is that they serve some of my other favorite dishes such as livers, gizzards, fried catfish, etc. and please don't hate fpr it but I'm from NY. NY ain't got nuttin on Jay's, my fellow Carolinians!If you haven't been, you're doing yourself and your palate an injustice! Crazily enough, my wife and I looked at each other and said, "As long as Jay's is open, we are driving 45+ min. just for chicken n' fixins!!! Lol ?My tastebuds are still dancing, just thinking about going back to get some more!Please make sure you tip these folks handsomely as they deserve every penny!Thank you, Jay's team!!!”

“Pueblo Viejo has been consistently good every time I’ve been there for years. The menu is pretty standard for an American Mexican restaurant, with a few unique and delicious additions, the service is always fast, and the prices are very reasonable. I was worried about how they’d do when they had to move out of their old, historic building and then got hit by the pandemic, but they weathered both gracefully. While I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve had there, I personally recommend the rellenos and birria tacos. The fajitas never disappoint either.”

“The food was amazing. Got the Flautas and the Bistec with onions. The tortilla chips are flour instead of corn and so delicious. Highly recommend the guacamole. Got two of the green sauce tamales to go. They are huge and more meat than masa. Delicious with a nice kick! I didn't care for the tres leches but I'm kind of picky with how I like mine. Super friendly staff. Place has a great boho old school vibe.”
