It was dinnertime after a late haircut appointment. My wife and I were in the mood for some good ole home cooking. Jay Jays was very close by and never lets us down. They weren't too busy, so we were seated promptly. Another delightful visit with Norma as our server. She took wonderful care of us, and we never lacked for anything. After looking over the menu, my wife opted for the chicken finger platter with French fries and whole kernel corn. I decided on their incredible turkey dinner platter, what turkey and dressing, mashed potatoes, green beans and homemade cranberry sauce. I thoroughly enjoyed during a previous visit. I HAD to have it again. While we were waiting on our entrees, a big basket of rolls and cornbread was dropped off at our table. The rolls were warm and the cornbread sweet and delicious. I absolutely love their cornbread muffins. After having time to much down on a muffin, Norma arrived at our table with our two dinner entrees. OH MY, my turkey dinner platter was overflowing with deliciousness! I knew I was going to enjoy it. My wife said her chicken fingers were fried to perfection and the French fries and corn was scrumptious. I was so excited to dive into my turkey dinner platter. It was as delicious as it was previously. Our dinner experience was WONDERFUL. Thank you, Jay Jay's for a wonderful time! We'll see all again soon. read more

We went for the first time on Thursday evening! Was not very crowded at all! They were having the chicken fried chicken special for $11.99 that came with 2 vegetables! I had baked potato and the best Beef stew I've had in a long time! I know the next time I go I'm just going to order a large bowl of that beef stew! It was so good! The service was wonderful and everyone was so kind! Seemed like a family atmosphere everyone was happy! I totally recommend this place and can't wait to return! Happy Eating Everyone! read more

I ordered the ribeye and eggs meal , which comes with a 6-8 oz ribeye , two eggs prepared how you like, toast , home fries. I also ordered a coffee , and a side of sliced tomatoes. Food came out quickly and my server was really friendly and attentive. Steak had a weird texture to it , but tasted ok. Not likely that I'd get that steak again. Thankfully the menu you has a large variety of options. Offering Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. My meal and overall experience was good and if and when In this area again , I'd return for sure. There was plenty of parking , and plenty of places to sit inside of the restaurant. Clean restaurant with really nice lighting. The booth I was placed in also had plug outlet , which my server said it was completely fine for me to charge my electronic devices while I ate . Using my military ID discount, I paid under $20 not including the tip. read more

This place is Amazing! There's so many options on the menu! Even on a Wednesday night, Erika's smile shined bright! She made us feel so welcomed and was always there right when we needed her. She also has great recommendations. Paying the check, is Much less than most places these days. Christian brings the smile, the helpful information, and the recommendations for next time! This was a great experience. read more

First time take out order. I did not check reviews like I normally do as it was a rushed decision. Ordered the cfc bowl w/pancake, no cheddar cheese swiss instead. Tipped anyway on pick up order only to have cheddar cheese anyway and no pancake. It was frustrating as the order wasn't ready upon arrival nor checked and we were over 20 mins away. They offered to remake however I was over it and didn't want to waste the gas. The flavor was good on the home fries, however trying to eat around the cheddar ended in wasted funds. Will not return. read more

More of a senior home than a dinner. A good fraction of the dinner was filled with seniors standing around talking. Blocking the tables and being too loud. By the time we got the food it was lukewarm and undercooked. The server spent more time talking than serving. Would definitely recommend almost anywhere else. read more

Went by to see about picking up a whole apple pie. The restaurant was busy and super clean...the atmosphere seemed very upbeat. I was waited on immediately and they had an apple pie...got the pie home and it was absolutely delicious...Love Jay Jay's and highly recommend!!!! read more

We've been to Jay Jay Café twice now and it has quickly become one of our favorite spots! The Meat Lovers Bowl with pancakes is absolutely divine. It is definitely a must-try if you're looking for a hearty and flavorful meal. We also tried the liver and onions, hamburger steak, and classic sides like mashed potatoes and greens which are all delicious and comforting. And let me just say...the BREAD deserves its own spotlight. Soft, warm, and so good that I could honestly sit down with two baskets and be perfectly happy. Overall, Jay Jay Café Mansfield serves up big portions of homestyle comfort food that hits the spot every time. Friendly service, cozy atmosphere, and food that keeps you coming back. Highly recommend! read more

I love this place for breakfast. It is perfect for a feel‑good meal, and the service was just what I expected. I ordered the croissant French toast and thought it was unique and full of flavor. Someone else in my group ordered the eggs Benedict, which was good, although the hollandaise sauce tasted bland and lacked originality. The bacon was also extremely thin. Overall, it was a good experience, but do not expect high‑quality food. read more

First time at this restaurant for brunch after the church service. We were seated as soon as my husband and I walked in. Our cheerful server, Erica greeted us with such great attitude Then our food came in within 5-7 minutes and was surprised with the quality of food. The plates were cleaned, my strawberry waffle was one of the best waffles I ever had. It was airy and light plus the strawberries topping were not super sweet, which was great! The place was welcoming and really feeling the country feel. My husband and will come back with our daughter very soon and will definitely ask for Erica! Super and exceptional customer experience! read more

First time at Jay Jay Cafe. I arrived early Sunday morning and was seated immediately. The server greeted me with a smile. I ordered coffee. I ordered the eggs, home fries, bacon, and a pancake. The pancake was delicious and the bacon and eggs were very good. The home fries are cooked with onion and green pepper. I ate around the green pepper as it isn't my favorite. I would have liked if the potatoes were a little crispier. Overall my breakfast was very good. The service was very good, always checking to see if I needed a coffee warm-up. read more

We had high expectations from my experience with the breakfast food. Well, the non-breakfast items were mostly disappointing. I got blackened tilapia, which was dry, overcooked, & bland (I dipped it in onion ring sauce to give moisture). The beans were also bland, the green beans were ok. My daughter got the grilled salmon, which was also dry & bland. Hubby got monte cristo which was NOT good, not the monte cristo we expected. Rather, it was sourdough toasts with cold cuts. Son liked his chicken fried steak, but it wasn't spectacular. Onion rings weren't bad. Father in law loved his omelet & hash browns. Other than that, service was fast & friendly. I would just stick to breakfast items. read more

The customer service was excellent. The ambience was ok, there were lots of flies inside the restaurant so we seemed to be swatting them away from our plates and heads often. The food was decent. Not the best but not the worse basically average read more

We enjoy the family menu and service at Jay Jay's. They have all the breakfast favorites along with some specialty offerings. Lunch and dinner menu is more than hamburgers like so many. They have everything from meatloaf to really good grilled fish. Try the Pecan Chicken. Standards like chicken fried steak or chicken are also on the menu with all the sides. No meal is complete without a great slice of pie and Jay Jay's has the best. Fruit pies (try it ala mode), cream pies, and our faves meringue pies which are only available on weekends. read more

This is advertised as a "scratch" kitchen. The food is nothing really special that you can't already make at home. Since we are visiting from out of town, we thought we'd stop in. We we was seated at noon on a Monday. It appeared to be catered to a retired crowd, that lacked taste buds. Kinda reminds me of a trip in Jupiter Florida where the food was mostly bland. This place is a notch of above the food from that retirement community. I don't think we would come back. Cracker Barrel is slightly better than this place, and it's not really scratch made. The corn tasted like it was out of a can and boiled slightly longer than needed and drowned in butter. I was told it came out of a bag, yuck. The fried okra was also nothing special. The pecan chicken was a four star on the plate.. This place also reminds me of Marie Callendars food. Where the pie shines above the entree. We shared a coconut crème pie and it was above and being the best thing sold to us. read more

great service and good food for the price. No complaints about this place. Glad it's not busy.

Amazing service! Erika is the sweetest and really takes great care of her customers!! We had the catfish or breakfast is always the best and served hot !! read more

First time trying this location. There are breakfast chain stores nearby, wanted to try something different. Place was clean, not very busy for a Wednesday at 0830. Was quit enough to do some work while I sat. Booth areas seem small, they still have plexiglass glass in between each table area, Covid barriers. Waitress was kind, always around, had no issue keeping the coffee topped off. The food was good. Nothing incredible of note. Basic breakfast fare. Bacon was thinner than I'd have expected and oddly didn't have a lot of flavor. Pancakes were good, thick. Overall a decent experience. read more

Today is 9/19/24 This place has tied up $2,500.00 for 6 days. A one star because no stars is not available. We used to regular this place but after a $2,500.00 was charged in addition to the breakfast on Saturday Sept 14,2024. We called and spoke to the owner (we later found out) who said he would call after he corrected the issue. HE NEVER APPOLOGIZED. He left for vacation and never called back. Instead he rang the breakfast up a second time in addition to the $2,500.00. Today Wed. Sept. 18, 2024 our money is still not returned. An owner should be able to properly operate their merchant services. read more

Good comfort food, great service, nice family restaurant. My family loved coming here, especially for the pies!

We called in the order, the menu is on the website, but there are NO PRICES for any dishes on your website, only price listed is the pies. We ordered without knowing the prices, so when I picked it up I asked the front desk for a take-out menu, she pointed me to the website, so I told her there were none. I suggest for the owner to take a picture of the menu prices and upload to the Yelp photos. We liked the eggs Benedict, and the ham steak breakfast, both were good, but the best was the one pancake, it was a nice size, and was very fluffy and thick (see picture). read more

Wow these tomatoes are very pale and taste almost like onions. There are so many of these white crispy onion tasting tomatoes that I spent more time digging them out than eating my food. This restaurant is usually very good but it is something about an over abundance of onions that you did not request that change your food. read more

Comfort food! In Texas they call it "cafe" but in New Jersey, where I'm from, we call it a DINER and that's what this is. A good diner. Big menu but basics are the way to go, in my experience. Warm and friendly service. Reasonable prices. A place everyone is happy to have in the neighborhood. Recommended 4 stars read more

My husband and I came to have a late breakfast today and it seemed like our server wasn't interested in helping us at all. She took so long to bring our drinks and never came back to check on us after we placed our order. I noticed she was going to everyone's table to talk with them and refill there drinks and made sure they were good. I had to ask the bus boy for a refill. And we waited over 25 minutes for our food (that never came). We left as soon as I saw a bigger table across from us order AND get there food before us. I left $5 for my coffee, told the cashier we were leaving and walked out. So disappointed. And at this time, there was not a huge rush and the tables around us were being cleared out. Our server never bothered to let us know that our food was coming or any reason why it was taking so long. I forgot her name. But it started with an S. Very upset with our experience. read more

I enjoy this restaurant. The staff is very friendly and always smiling.
