Jay's Chicken Shack

First visit -- we will be back. We both tried the Buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. It was OK. Nothing special. You can pick any toppings you like for the sandwich (all included). I am thinking the fried chicken or the burgers are the way to go here.Staff was super friendly and helpful. You can sit inside or outside. It's a small local place that we love to frequent. We will be back.

Stopped here for a late lunch. There were 3 of us and we each got something different. I got a two piece chicken plate with potato salad and fried okra. The potato salad was very good and the okra was good. I like the crust on the chicken and it was freshly fried for sure, but there was a lot of grease in my plate.One of us got the chicken strips and they were good. Was not impressed at all with the fries. One of us got wings and they were reportedly good. All of us got tea and it was good. Biscuits were homemade for sure. Place was not very clean, we had to wipe our table and chairs / seats before eating. Chicken is what they have the most of but I did see ribs too. Small place but many do take out so we were able to eat in with no problem.

The food is excellent! Great fried chicken and Mac & cheese. The folks were super friendly and helpful. It has a perfect "hole-in-the-wall" look and feel (in the best way possible.Highly recommend Jay's.

A friend and I had lunch at Jay's Chicken Shack this afternoon. The food was delicious and the service was beyond belief! I got two-piece chicken combo, which came with two sides. One of the sides I asked for was fried okra. They gave me fried pickles by mistake. It was fine with me cause I love fried pickles too, but the lady apologized profusely. She even offered to give me an order of fried okra to go!!!! Mistakes are inevitable. How you handle mistakes is what shows your character. The lady was a superstar.Very nice, friendly people work here, and the food was very good. My friend and I can't wait to get back there.Highly recommended.

The chicken is the best I've had in Nc. I visit here weekly and I'm not a fried chicken fanatic. The chicken is seasoned not salty. I'm not a biscuit girl but I have to get biscuits here! Love them!

I'd rate the place lower if I could. I don't know what these people are doing! When I lived in Orange county in 2017 the food was great! A husband and wife (Tammy and Bruce) tan the place for Jay and the food was awesome. Then both left and things went downhill from there

The ice cream is delicious. I went there one time with my mother and they were about to close and made me a BLT even though the grill was closed.

I was in town for work and did a quick google search and this place caught my attention. I love to support local family owned businesses. We walked into place and it is definitely nothing to write home about. It actually made me a little skeptical.. We ordered at the counter and I ordered the 2 piece combo with Collard Greens and Mac n Cheese. I also wanted to try Onion Rings and Hush Puppies as I am a sucker for both.Well the food was amazing! The chicken was tasty and perfect. The biscuit was outstanding. If you don't like their biscuits, then you ain't from the south. The Hush Puppies and Onion Rings were good. I was disappointed in the Mac N Cheese however. I could not even eat it and I love Mac n Cheese. Overall I was very impressed and will eat there again when I am back it town. Great job Jay! You should be proud.

The best chicken tenders and fries according to my son! I had the 3 piece combo and the biscuit tasted just like my memaws! If we are ever back in the area we will be stopping by!!

This food is disgusting, the grease is ridiculously old. The food is overpriced, overcooked and unseasoned. Ribs definitely will make your stomach turn, barely cooked, barely seasoned. I tried this place on separate occasions. I wouldn't feed this too a wild animal. If I could do any less than one star, it would be negative 5.
