This Fielder Plaza mom-and-pop serves up hearty breakfasts, lunches and dinners, at prices that'll make you think you're in a time warp. Breakfast is an all-day affair at Jay Jay, with traditional faves and goodies from the griddle, and the biscuits must be out of this world, because the waitress informed us at 11 a.m. on a Saturday that they were out. The waffles more than made up for that bit of sadness, as did the ham-steak and eggs, cooked to order with a side of buttery grits. The rest of the menu boasts Southern staples like chicken-fried steak and chicken (the cream gravy rules here), fried chicken and catfish, and a right-on selection of sides. If you're in the mood for a burger, you won't go away disappointed, especially if you include a side of Jay Jay's onion rings to go with it. Consistently piping hot, fresh and grease-free, and the pie selections are mighty fine, too. Warning: on Sundays, stick with the menu - or at least take a close, hard look at the buffet before digging in.
