For gas station food this place is definitely worth a try. The chicken was crispy, and the potato wedges are bomb . The boudin balls were different, not sure how I feel about them. This place is in a small gas station, so it can get crowded. There are no seats or anything so Carryout is your only option. I definitely recommend this place, I'll be going back to try their other sides and meals!

Nothing like gas station fried chicken. Some of the best fried chicken in the southeast can be found at gas stations but most of them are mom and pop operations. Jays chicken is, as the signs outside and above the counter read, Krispy Krunch fried chicken, a chain operating out of convenience stores. It does taste better than most fast food fried chicken chains, although only when you get them fresh out of the fryer, which isn't often at Jays because the people that run the gas station and convenience store are also doing the cooking. So most of the time you're getting chicken that's been under the warmer for quite a while, leaving the chicken dry and not as crunchy. The sides are typical of fast good chicken chains save for the boudain balls. Jay's takes a decent swing at the iconic Louisiana staple, though very likely it's pre-made frozen from the Krispy Krunch people. You can find Krispy Krunch at quite a few gas stations along the interstates in the southeast and those are usually run by a team of people separate from those running the convenience store so you'll get the chicken fresh and see that it's pretty good fried chicken. Jays chicken not that unique but pretty good if you get it fresh.

This fried chicken is amazing!! And at such a good price! I'd never thought much about stopping for it, being gas station chicken, but after reading some other yelp reviews - I decided to check it out. Well seasoned, juicy, crispy, and the honey biscuits that come with it are so buttery and delicious. Highly recommend if you are in the area!

Very small, poorly maintained, unclean and old store. Pumps are mostly out of order, card readers won't always work.

When a fried chicken craving hit, I consulted with Yelp and the reviews told me this would be a great option to try. Gas station chicken has always been hit or miss in my opinion, but when people rave about a particular place, that usually means it's legit. I was expecting the standard menu with meals based on the number of pieces of chicken and sides. I really wanted a 3-pc combo with a chicken breast and a couple wings. The man behind the counter informed me he'd just sold out of his wings and it didn't look like he was planning on making more (it was only like 6:00 by the way). Instead of leaving and going elsewhere to get what I really wanted, I just got some chicken strips and wedges. I asked for ranch dressing (ignorantly assuming you get at least one sauce with chicken strips) but he said it was an additional $0.50. *Hard pass and an eye roll* The food sits out in a heating case so by the time I got my chicken strips, they were pretty dried out as were the wedges. I was very disappointed in the entire meal and I regret even buying those chicken strips. That being said, the reviews all told me the chicken strips aren't even what you come for...lesson learned. Maybe I'll try it again one day after I've mentally blocked out those sad chicken strips. .

Delicious boudin balls, tender and juicy chicken strips, a tasty dipping sauce, and fluffy honey biscuits... this is great on-the-go food! Yes, it's a Marathon gas station, but this was darn good chicken. Not sure how a Louisiana Cajun style roadside chicken takeout ended up in Cincinnati, but I'm glad they did! With 16 more hours on the road ahead of us, this quick stop hit the spot perfectly for breakfast. And we weren't alone- there was a steady stream of customers getting chicken while we were there. In addition to being a great spot for chicken, they had a convenience store, and, of course, the gas station!

So, Jays chicken. Well, it's decent chicken, probably better than kfc, not as good as Lee's. The sides are pretty lackluster, skip the mashed potatoes. There is no seating, and it's located in a gas station. Some people think that's cool, but that's just because it's not common for the area. I have had tons of gas station chicken and this is marginally better than most. It's worth stopping at if you are a foodie, but skip it if you are anyone else.
