Since 1991
33
years in the restaurant business
Since 1991
The Plaster Family has been in the restaurant business for 33 years. Out of frustration, we started The Jay Cafe. You can't find a plate of homemade real traditional American food anywhere! So we sold all of our franchised restaurants and are doing our own thing — getting up at the crack of dawn to hand pick the freshest meats and vegetables daily!
We have worked to package our meals in a way that lets you bring the quality of our meals into your home. We always love to see you in person, but even when we can't, we ensure that your dining experience is top notch!
We refuse to compromise on quality in our restaurant. That's why we source our fresh ingredients from local farmers' markets. No matter what time of year, you can be sure you're eating the best of the season. We make everything fresh from scratch in our kitchen — from the soups and salad dressings to the Blue Plate specials and Homemade Pies! Try our famous Chicken Fried Chicken!
