Omg! The white queso that comes to the table with chips and salsa is to AMAZING! I would have been happy to stop right there. But the food is also really freaking good. Even the fries were great. The portions are definitely plentiful. Staff is friendly and quick. The restaurant is clean. I would gladly drive back here just for the queso though and I am a few hours drive away, but if I am ever passing through the area again...I will definitely add it as a must stop.

Had a great experience with this restaurant as a first time diner! Our server was kind (unfortunately I did not get her name) and the food was excellent. I ordered the Steak Fajita Burrito!

First off, the non-alcoholic drinks are amazing. I had a mango daiquiri that was awesome. Second, the staff and food are amazing. Friendly, kind, helpful. Many dishes on the menu. Clean restaurant.

So delicious! Jays Chimichanga could have been a little crispier, but it was still So good! My margarita was really good, and the #1 Combo I got was was yummy! The plates were so hot, the plastic container with Jay's cheese sauce was melting on the bottom, lol. Our hostess and server were friendly and attentive. We've been here before and had the same experience each time. Very family friendly.

One of the managers is absurdly rude. I saw her yelling at multiple of her employees, even in front of customers. It was not busy when i had came in and I seen her quite literally yelling at an employee for being on their phone while another was sitting in another area on theirs, the manager also directly after got on her phone which feels very hypocritical. That isn’t even the only occurrence in the hour I was in there but the disrespect she was giving and how she was treating her employees just did not sit with me right.
