Absolute Best dinner in Stanly County, love their Ribeyes, Vic’s entire staff is awesome, but we love some Allen Sinclair as well! You never go wrong with Jays Seafood & Jays Downtowner!!!

This was my first time visiting this establishment, and honestly I could nvr give Jay's a better review... The service was excellent and astonishing at the same time... The "Deviled Crab" was remarkable along with the Alaskan White... I was told the steak was cooked to order :) I would recommend this restaurant be given a chance... I will return myself

Jay's Downtowner is located in Albemarle, NC just off NC Hwy 24/27. If you like fried seafood this is your place. I appreciate the fact that this business is successful and has been for many, many years, but it's not my kind of dining establishment. Jay's has a great customer base and they will be open for many years to come. Tonight the shrimp was greasy, but the catfish was wonderful. Skip the ribeye as it is marinated and extremely salty and the toughest piece of steak I have ever attempted to eat. Skip the cole slaw and opt for an iceberg salad or the red slaw. Baked potatoes were scorching hot and tasty - of course the hushpuppies were delicious. The service was great and accurate! This place has really neat historical pictures and memorabilia adorning the walls. Stop in and check out Jay's Downtowner...you may enjoy what they have on the menu. Enjoy!
