We now live in North Carolina but every time we come back we make sure we get some of those fabulous chili dogs.(all the way) and there chili cheese fries. I also love the gyros. I can put 4 of those bad boys down. (Chili dogs) I've been coming there for at least 40 years. You guys put a smile on my face and fill my belly. Thank you jays. I love you guys. Remember a day without Jay's isn't the same.

8/26/22 Not clean - floor in customer area was very sticky. Person (was a man), during the entire time while taking my order than collecting my cash payment for my order, kept rubbing the end of his nose with his hand instead of excusing himself and getting a kleenix or paper towel to clean his nose with; also, kept picking the tip of his tongue with his fingers (saliva attached to fingers as fingers were coming off his tongue) as if he was picking off lint or whatever was on his tongue. After transaction was completed at cash register, he then went to a counter in the kitchen area, picked up what appeared to be previously used gloves and while attempting to put the gloves on his hands (gloves were already lying on counter with food on them) to prepare gyros (did not - until I asked him about washing his hands before putting on gloves since he was handling money - he stated that he was using gloves - I informed him that his hands were filthy & the gloves he was trying to put on had food on them and by him previously touching the gloves after completing my transaction at the cash register, germs were already transferred to the outside of the gloves; also, by not washing his hands first and then putting on clean gloves, germs would be transferred from the filthy gloves (he was trying to put on) onto gyros from his hands and gloves not being clean. gyros were horrible - not much of a taste, onions on gyros were not crunchy - more like limp, tomato tiny pieces - had no taste, cucumber sauce had so much garlic in it - you could not even tell it was cucumber sauce - did not taste anything like the delicious cucumber sauce with cucumber pieces mixed in with sauce Jay's use to make. Onion rings were gummy and not hot (not really warm either) nor crispy - my entire order was not worth the money - I do not know how the French fries were as I purchased French fries for someone else. Jay's use to have the best gyros & hot dogs in the 90's. I ordered chicken gyros - which was horrible in taste. I became very nauseated & suffered heartburn about 10 minutes after eating gyro along with onion rings - it was such a miserable & uncomfortable feeling. I will not be ordering any food from Jay's again. I would not advise people to order food online from Jay's - go inside Jay's to actually see how they are preparing your food order. I did not know ahead of time that the same person that handles the money would be the same person that would be preparing the food that I ordered - how gross especially when going from handling money (not washing hands after touching money) and going directly to putting on gloves (germs already transferred to the outside of the gloves from filthy hands from person that previously touched pencil to write out order on order slips, touching cash registered keys then touching the money before putting in cash register) before preparing the food you ordered. The Jay's that I went to is located in Boardman Ohio.

I usually come here to get Gyros. Never understand a hot dog stand it is the most retarded thing I ever heard of. Why $2.50 for a hot dog them ones in the store are so much better. You can put whatever you want on them too. Jay's Gyro's though the best ever. Except for the Little Greek.

Service was very nice. Not sure who the guy was working but he deserves a raise for sure no matter what he makes.

One of the better Gyros (say Yeer-ro) places in the local area. Especially since they're more a white owned establishment and not 'really' greek. The lemon chicken soup leaves something to be desired and is not the "Greek" I am use too and I'm not a fan of their Youngstown version of a Coney (we have a totally different version of this where I am from) but everything else is ok to good, especially the home cut fries, worth the trip when they're fresh and not refried.Just keep in mind, this is not a classy joint but they have remodeled and it's clean now. This place is like a permanent booth from a local carnival.

The gyro was down the middle, not bad, but not great! A solid staple of a gyro. The price was good; very reasonable. This is a take out place, the atmosphere is not really conducive to sitting in. It’s like an old dilapidated diner.

Will never get food from this place again. Hot dogs were okay. But the gyros and chili cheese fries were so nasty.
