My lean cut of tenderloin was cooked more well than I asked. Friendly Customer Service - 3** my dad thinks they steer you toward the bar bf tell you that there is no room on the dining room to buy more drinks. The Lambrusco was served cold which I would not recommend. The bar tender and hostess were friendly however our server was pretty shy but she was cute at least. I don't think she knows what vinegar and oil is because I asked for that as my salad dressing but she said they didn't have that. Almost every restaurant has that, especially if you do Friday fish fry. Clean ambience & friendly 5*****

Went here with a big group, the waitress just left and another staff member had to settle our bill.

She ended up REFUSING to split our bill between the group and THREW our receipt at us. She yelled at us for not telling them ahead of time to split our bill. Also, the jukebox ate my debit card.

Our 4th pasty in our quest to compare and consume…read more Jean Kay's is a teeny tiny shop on a side street and can barely hold 6 people in front of the register. There are a few more options for pasties here, including chicken and broccoli, and dessert flavors. Their beef pasty is different than all the other pasties we tried, as they use flank steak. As is traditional, potatoes, onions, and rutabaga were the other ingredients. This was the first pasty I tried where I could see the onions, so I picked them out when I came across them (my kryptonite). The steak was a little chewy, and the seasoning was almost undetectable. Also, the pastry, although well baked, fell apart after a few bites. To be fair, though, we waited probably a good 30-45 minutes to eat it. This wasn't my favorite pasty, but I wouldn't mind returning to try a chicken and broccoli and a dessert one. Maybe on my next trip up north. 21/2025

I stumbled upon this place walking through town. My grandparents grew up in Iron Mountain. My great…read moregrandfather, John Hollander, immigrated from Liverpool, England and was a miner. My grandmother taught me to make pasties like she did for her dad. Jean Kay's pasties are out of this world. Flakey crusts, tasty ingredients inside, and made with Iron Mountain pride and love. I ate the breakfast bacon and egg pasty and bought chicken and broccoli. I bought the partially cooked/frozen because this place sells out quickly. I traveled to Chicago with the pasties two weeks later and they were as good as made that day. One pastie fed two of us. I guess it is all about your appetite. The pasties can be purchased cooked or partially frozen. Both are equally great!! If you are driving near Iron Mountain, you must stop and purchase the pasties! Have fun deciding which to purchase.

Then she gave me a menu and I sat for 10 mins. While she was running her laps.

So after I get my food I'm 80% done he comes back around mind you he's not my server and sees my coffee is empty and asked if wanted more and say "man everyone's forgetting about you today".
