Mama Jacks Resturant Kountze Reviews
For years I'd been meaning to make the drive out to Hardin County to check out Mama Jacks, and I'm sure glad I finally got around to it! For one: You're not going to find a better quality lunch buffet at a more affordable price, anywhere. The food on MJ's buffet is some of the best comfort food around, especially the meatloaf on Wednesdays. Friday night with the seafood buffet, nowadays, there is also a great deal of talent booked regularly to entertain patrons. Check it out, and I can pretty much guarantee Mama Jacks will become your new favorite place!
First time there. Checked out buffet and decided to go that route. Everything we ate was delicious. Well worth the drive to try it out.
Today 8-28-25 was our first time here. Let me just say I've never been so impressed and pleased with stopping at a restaurant. From the time we walked in the staff are so friendly and welcoming you in. The food is homemade, fresh, hot,and very delicious!!!! The BEST sweet tea I've ever had at any restaurant. Service is on point you will not be disappointed when stopping to eat here. We where at 4pm Crystal was our waitress the best ever. We order chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, salad, and toast, an order fried mushrooms, a coke, and sweet tea all of this food was 41.00 and the our tip. Well worth the money large portions. I truly can't wait to go back!!!! I want to try the breakfast. We live well over an hour from here, I can tell you I will be back. Absolutely DELICIOUS and EXCELLENT SERVICE!!!!!
Passed by here on the way to somewhere else, we are always looking for new places especially small town eats. Mama Jack had good reviews and a breakfast buffet. So we decided to take the drive and come back the next morning (45 minutes) we were not disappointed. Breakfast was delicious and at 8.50 a person it is unbeatable and we can't wait to come back and try dinner and a little back porch dining. Everything looks so good and with obviously so many regulars we know it will be worth the drive again and again. We can't wait to report back.
Okay, so this place is a diamond in the haystack. If you want home cooking for an affordable price this is the place to go. They have new owners and since they've taken over it's only gotten better! It was never bad before, but you can definitely tell an improvement in the quality of the food and the prices are still the same which is unbelievably cheap for food this good so close to home. The service has really improved as well The new owners are very nice and polite, not to mention they're in there working right beside their employees. Tonight I had the chicken fried steak and it absolutely met my expectations. It is hand battered and very much homemade. My husband had the hamburger steak with brown gravy and mashed potatoes. I wasn't able to get a picture of his because he gobbled up so fast but his empty plate speaks for itself.
This place is always good. Especially when you hit up the buffet you can have a little bit of everything. Today I had pork ribs, meatballs, potatoes, and a side salad. It's really good homestyle food. I can I'm honestly say this, Mama Jack's is pretty consistent with the cooking and always packing flavor.
We stopped here for breakfast because we wanted a sit down southern experience. Their breakfast buffet was amazing! They had eggs, bacon, sausage links and patties, French toast or pancakes, biscuits and gravy, fruit, and some of the best cinnamon rolls I've been able to enjoy! The service was great. They were fast and accommodating. The waitress was so sweet and helpful. The decor is a southern style fit for Texas! We just had breakfast but if their other meals are as tasty as breakfast was you will love it!
I have never had bad service or food from this place, top notch service every time! The food is always on point, and the Breakfest and Lunch Buffet can't be beat! I haven't been able to try the seafood buffet just yet, but it sure smells nice! UPDATE 3/26/19 They have finished expanding their new dining rooms, (See photos) added 3 additional restrooms and it looks great!
Great service with excellent food. We drove an hour and a half to experience the seafood buffet. It did not disappoint. We left full as a tick.
Stopped by as we were heading home from a football game. The lunch buffet was pretty good. The meatballs and gravy were amazing! The salad was fresh and the peach cobbler was very good, especially with a little dollop of vanilla ice cream. The hot foods could have been a little warmer, but I find that's a problem at most buffets. I wish I had known there was also a menu I could have ordered from, but that's not a problem. We would probably stop by again if we're ever in that area again.
When im going to the beach and leaving the beach this place is always packed so I thought I would stop. Saturday night is all you can eat seafood. To me the mud bugs had no spice..kinda disappointed. Fish was great. Fried crab was ok i, never had it before. Crawfish etouffee was great...the other gumbo looking dish was great...oh the fried shrimp was also great and okra..wish I could comment on the deserts I saw people eating but i was too full to try any. Getting older now and I can't eat as much as I use to! Now I'm eating less but getting fatter Tonight's meal didn't cause me to lose weight. Wish they had a price for a one time through the buffet. 35 dollars is kinda high if you can't put the food away. (They may have a one trip to the buffet, I didn't ask)
We at the seafood buffet, LORD yall over cooked the crab! It was dry and barley got any meat. Make sure to tell the cook not to overcooked it. The rest of the food was good xoxo
This place is for sure a local dive spot to eat. Gumbo, boudin, alligator…they have it all. Most everything is fried. Ha ha. If you wanna feel like a local and listen to some music and catch up on the happenings around town then this is the spot. Food is good, nothing fancy. Pretty much what you would expect from a place like this.
This has been one of our go-to places for many years. Not anymore. We have given it 3 chances since it has changed ownership. The food is nowhere near the quality that it used to be. The buffet is sparse the majority of the time. The food is all very bland now. There was a hair in my husband's salad. Thankfully the salad was immediately changed out as soon as he let the server know.The most disappointing part is that they even changed the cinnamon rolls and that was the best part. They are much smaller and so dry now with very little cinnamon, if any. I hate to have to take this little restaurant out of our rotation but unfortunately today was our last trip. We will certainly miss it
They were out of salad and mashed potatoes, had 1 chicken fried steak. Most of the food was at room temperature except for 2 vegetables. Quality of food was poor and service was slow. Very disappointing. Will not be returning.
1st and Last time we will be going there. $35.99 each we paid for Inedible food, it wasn't just one thing either. The best thing was tea, runner up was the 1 burnt crab cake. Now picking up firehouse subs Absolutely hate paying for food and not getting to eat it
We got there about between four and 430. The buffet table had been turned off. Nobody told us the food was not barely warm. The warmest thing was the mashed potatoes and gravy. I thought it was due to the cold air blowing inside until I got to the desert, which was an apple crisp When I bit down there was a piece of glass inside of it, and they never remove the balance of the tray they left it for another person to find something in it. I thought that was deplorable V person when I checked out, I told them by lol they needed to keep the food warmer than what it was and she said oh well
