    Chicken filet on a biscuit
    More Time T.

    Wonderful chicken biscuit. Great big fried chicken filet on a biscuit, comes with pickle juice doctored ranch or something close to that. Ladies running the drive thru are always quick and courteous. Never been inside, never had anything but the chicken biscuits and Dr.Pepper.

    Sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit

    Oh let me tell you. This place was amazing the food was hot fresh and actually edible. Take the time skip the gas station food and swing in this place has a drive thru and dinning I got a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit with a side of gravy and tater tots. I had to go back in to get another biscuit, was so good. The service was super fast and friendly. There was a long line but mine luckily came out before the larger orders.

    Gizzard plate with fried okra and fries.
    Bob P.

    We just happened to be passing by Sikeston, Missouri at suppertime on our way home from a trip up north. As is my custom, I searched Yelp to see what was good in town. We weren't in a pizza or a burger mood, and we didn't have time for Lambert's Café, so Jay's Krispy Fried Chicken piqued our interest. When we drove by, there were just a couple of cars in the parking lot, which is normally a red flag for me; but, there were several cars in the drive-through, which told me two things: 1) this was a place that the locals frequent often. And, 2) the chicken would be hot and fresh because of the long line in the drive-through. We came in and were immediately amazed at the reasonable prices on the menu board. The chicken was on display under heat lamps behind the counter and it looked fantastic and, as the name implies, crispy. The lady taking our order was very helpful and explained to us the sides and such. She highly recommended the gizzard plate, which I tried. My wife went with the chicken strip plate. To be totally honest, I was not all that impressed with the gizzards. They were not battered in the same batter as the fried chicken, as can be seen in the pictures that I took. They were not bad by any stretch of the imagination, just not quite up to expectations. My wife said the chicken strips were delicious. This is a place that I would frequent often if I lived in the Sikeston area as I am a fried chicken lover. The next time I will go with my favorite, which is the bone-in chicken. As we were sitting there eating our meal, the dining room began to fill up, and there were several cars in the drive-through as well. Good food, great prices, and a nice inviting dining atmosphere. We'll be back next time we're in the area.

    Gizzard dinner

    Food was really good. I got the gizzard dinner and for right at $10 after taxes you could feed 2 people. I was only able to finish half. The gizzards were perfectly cooked. They were very tender. Coleslaw and mashed potatoes were both very good. The roll that came with it was soft and buttery. I will definitely be going there next time im in town.

    Chicken and buffet items

    Once you've done "throwed rolls" (Lamberts) you're left with few choices in Sikeston. Jay's Krispy Fried Chicken is one of them, and they've been around a long time. Also heard they have a buffet, so you know I'm down (up) for that. Rolled in, ordered at the counter. "Do you want a breast or wings?" Well, a breast, I guess, and they handed one over on a disposable tray and I headed to a table adjacent to the buffet area. So apparently, unless I missed something, the "buffet"here is one piece of piping hot fried chicken and all the sides on the buffet you want. There were also unidentifiable (to me) chicken bits on the steam table. Otherwise, standard fare, salad fixings, mashed, gravy, couple different beans, greens and the like. Might have had soup, too, I think. I loaded up. I'm got a high degrees of confidence those side dishes came straight from a number 10 can delivered by Sysco or similar. No matter, it's a good value. And the chicken IS exceptional. I'd do it again, but stick to the menu. They seem to do a brisk take-out and drive thru biz. Open early.

    So the "buffet" part is just the sides? Your entree is the one plate of chicken you order, it's not AYCE? Or? Thanks.
