Jay's Downtowner Restaurant

Food and services are very good. Delivery of food was far. Keep up the great works!

This is the only place we go to eat fish. The food is awesome! Fish is always fresh, hot and they give you plenty of it. Hushpuppies are delicious as well.

PROS: Excellent prices. Unbelievably abundant portions of fish: fried or broiled...served on huge plates that other restaurants would designate as "platters." The service was excellent, with very upbeat and attentive waitresses. Ample parking and seating, in a very family- friendly atmosphere.
CONS: we tried flounder, catfish and tilapia (both fried and broiled). All were muted in flavor, as if seasoning was absent-although red flavorless spices were clearly visible on the broiled baby flounder... You also have to watch out for fish bones in fried fish, particularly if children are in your party. No knives at the table...just forks...! No locks/hooks in the bathroom stalls...bring a buddy!

We are fairly new to the area and have really made a point to try and hit the local spots and this place was by far the best restaurant we have been to in Albemarle. The value, the food, the service is all top notch. Only negative notes are they don't take credit cards and the clean and well decorated bathroom doors don't have locks. We will be coming here again and again and bringing company when they come to town. Best oysters I've ever had!

It was a bit on the cool side to me. The food was good and those HUSH PUPPIES were amazing! Honey butter spread comes with them. They came out hot!
