Great food here we’re loving it, friendly staff and great service, staying in town from Louisiana after Ida they’re fried chicken puts Popeyes to shame!

BOOM Everytime… never disappointed with their food. The chicken, sweet tea and the cobbler. Definitely be backk!!

Made when ordered, always hot, might take a few minutes, but you won't get dry chicken.

Place is clean. The food is great. Staff is nice and polite. Will come again

Good place to get chicken and other food though my only complaint is the deserts not tasting as great as I'd hope but the other food tastes great

I always enjoy eating here. Great place for lunch or dinner.

My family and I enjoy your fresh fried chicken, we will continue coming this amazing service also wonderful food.

Food is always been hot fresh places extremely clean and the staff extremely friendly and for the price you can't go wrong

As allways this feast was on time . delicious and laid out like a feast for a king . I don't think I could a work like these people do everyday of the week .constantly cooking and cleaning the place .good job ! I reccomend this place for any and all !

Great food, awesome customer service! If you are in Winnie and you don't eat here, that's your loss. Tremendous buffet!

We have only ever used drive thru. Always GREAT, FRESH food and smiling service

Everything was Excellent, the food, the Service, the Staff. Price was reasonable, it was super clean, everything was easy to find, loved the desserts. Will go back again.

The employees were so nice! Very very caring and easy to talk to the buffet is all you can eat and it's good food too even with desert items such as pudding watermelon the whole nine yards

Stoooed there after a family trip from pleasure island. He was actually closing. But he was willing to cook up a fresh batch of chicken. When I tell you that was the best fried chicken I have ever had. And the breast. They melted in your mouth. The rolls weren't fresh but I am not going to trip on that because it was late and he made up for the delicious, juicy, pi pi ing hot chicken. Boy it was good..

Delicious Fried Chicken, All Day buffet with good vegetables, salad and dessert selection. Great prices. I stopped here once a week or once every other week at the least. On my way from Houston to Beaumont. Great place to eat

I’m from Houston. The wife and I stopped in at 5:00 pm. We had a coupon they honored it. The food was really good. And the Salad Bar was as fresh as it gets. Thanks guys.

Passing by on our way home I have to say this was a good place to stop and eat. We were tired of fast food! I give this place a thumbs up! Friendly service and good food!

This place is pretty good . A little high for people with kids, on a budget. But worth the money. And the guys that run the place are so nice. Drop in and see them... You won't be sorry...

Nice foods and lots of choices.I love the tasbasc0(vinegar) with the friend liver😋

Fresh chicken l, served us at the table, great set up for condiments, paper plates, napkins, drinks full access for refills, where was this gem? We pass Winnie to go to Galveston and passed a diamond in the rough. Even has the option of a salad bar! Great experience. We we’re hungry with elderly great grandparents and grandchildren

Awesome all around. We've ate their buffet to take out orders. Chicken tenders and the gizzard are to die for. Always friendly atmosphere, they couple that runs it is amazing, always checking on you and very polite.. Must visit

I came here all the time sometimes during lunchtime and some in the evenings. The employees were very friendly. If y’all come in at the right time, especially during lunchtime, they will have everything coming out fresh for you. For those folk out there who like gizzards/liver just like me, whenever you come in here and you feel like the gizzard /liver were not fresh then you can feel free to request they to cook it fresh for you it probably takes about 7min to get everything fresh for you like those fish, gizzard, liver, chicken tender. Don’t forget to come to check this place out!!!

Hubby and I drove thru drive thru, the food was amazing!! Hot, fresh and friendly customer service..

Good people and good prices make it a good place to eat sum chicken,. We stopped by for dinner and I must admit that we had a good experience, place was clean and a bit quiet, the restrooms were in good shape at the time of our visit, what else can you expect for that price Only bad thing about it is that there were no lights on the parking lot and it made the place hard to spot from the road, for someone new/driving by the area it appears to be closed since we couldn't really see it from the road, but other than that I honestly believe that it is a good place to eat.

You should try the fried chicken it's the best and the legs? Mua just mua the crispness the meat is very good oh and don't get me started on the mashed potatoes and gravy maybe it's because I like mashed potatoes but who cares they are great

Stopped here around 6pm on my road trip. $16 for a buffet w/ drink is a great price, so i left a tip. I like being able to eat small portions of different foods. All of it tasted great. The place was clean despite 2 fruit flies.

Food was perfect in every way come try fpr u self

Service is friendly, the vibe is casual and welcoming, and everything is clean and well-organized. For the price, it’s honestly a steal. Come hungry, leave happy and probably a little full.

Picked up 12 piece meal to go. Service was efficient and friendly. Food was fresh and tasty. Good crispy chicken. Tasty coleslaw and the yummy rolls were excellent.

The chicken is really good some of the sides could have been better

Really good food. Chicken buffet. Lunch stop before reaching the beach.

Food was fine, the ice-cream machine has been broken the last 6 times I've been there, in a 6 month period.

It's better to go anytime before 7:30 only because they don't want to cook alot that will have to tossed

Friendly people who are interested in making you happy. The food was delicious and a nice variety of things to eat.

Good service.The food was good and fresh.suprised that th÷ chicken was actually better then the chicken i have been eating for years.i will not mentioned the other chicken restaurant.

Very good meal.everything I ordered was great.i went through the drive through. They have a very good buffet also

Food is good , for your money this place is a great place to get a hot meal and easy on the wallet ! Read my reviews i tell it like it is .

The employees were very friendly and welcoming.

It's a self-serve buffet with all you can eat homemade food. The food is pretty decent for the cost and the buffet includes a drink free refills. It's $8.99 plus tax for the buffet including drink. I didn't have to really wait when I went in.

Used-2 have a really nice & AFFORDABLE Buffet. Still True ??

Great prices. I fed my family of four for under 50 bucks. The salad bar and sides are the star of the show. I had the smothered chicken, it was solid.

The staff were rude, the chicken was good but the sides were not seasoned

Food is average. My husband likes it, but I'm not crazy about it. I think it could be cleaner.

Not what I expected 😔 But the chicken was good and I love yeast rolls and the place was clean.

Always come here once for dinner when at the flea market. Buffet usually good. A bit pricey.

The food was just ok. The employees were really nice. Not something I would go back and eat again.

Food was good but people were extremely pushy and very bossy...i think for the price ill eat at golden corral next time...

I always love harts. If they dont habe what you want on the buffet the manager normally will make you what your looking for. #1 chicken tenders around. Sorry kfc. If you havent had harts i highly suggest you try it at least once

The food was really good but the price was a little high. $30 for two all you can eat. I did eat two plates and had two glasses of tea. My favorite is the coleslaw and beets with fried chicken and greens.

This place is good and better to go there when they first open and all their items are good. They have a wide selection and their chicken is finger picking good like KFC. The owners are nice and work hard amd the buffet price is in line. They have sodas and tea and overall it was a good experience and it hit the spot. If hungry and just want to sit and relax and eat you have got to tey put Hartz Chicken and Biscuits if you have not yet.

Food was good but the place wasn't very clean

Need to keep the buffet table stocks better . Not keeping out dry or old food it's safe

Got there 20 minutes before they closed and the lady manager was basically kicking us out after we had to wait on them to make food. It was a joke.

Food was good but it was so hot inside the building you couldnt stay in there. Several people complained and they said ac broken. I dont beleive that for a second. It wasnt broken enough to call a repairman.

Price was good, I only ordered fried gizzards and livers. They were hot and fresh but no flavor definitely needed the dipping sauces

Been to several other Hartz locations and been satisfied, but not this location. Asked lady behind the counter before ordering the buffet how much a 5 year old and 7 year old would be, an was told $4.99 and $5.99, but was charged $6.99 each when the young man rang us up. Went to register to get clean buffet plates and was ignored by the young man behind the counter. He had ear buds in his ears, and was busy on his phone, and totally ignored me. Another employee finally came to the register and handed me clean plates. Food was decent, but except for one female employee who was friendly and helpful, service from most of the others was awful.

Nothing was fresh!!! Waited almost 20min to get fresh food put out... Very disappointed

I would have gave less Stars. Out of the food they should have out there. When asked about it he lied to me and then got rude. Avoid this place all together

Awful! Everything was old & cold. I asked if they would cook some more fish & chicken & the guy gave me attitude for asking. I'll never go again. Waste of money...

I placed an order and waited 12 minutes. When I got up there they should I have to wait at no 10 minutes. I don't have time for those long waits. They are unorganized

Husband got food poisoning after eating their 17.50 buffett w drink after tax. We won't be back.

Not even worthy of half a star let alone one. If you plan on stopping her drive on by, you'd do better at taco bell down the road.

If you use your card watch they over charge u after they give u the receipt .....

Soo SAD Rolls... So WAY GROSS!!!!

Ridiculously hot it's like they want you to leave the buffet early and I found a bug in my drink no thanks one star is too much

Came in around 10:30am, buffet was not finish, people were ok, not practicing safe hygiene, overall store is dirty, vents on ceilings needs to be clean. Will not be coming back.

Poor The servers did not use gloves when moving to and from the kitchen area to the buffet area to fill orders..the cashier's went from the register to the common area and handled the food with no gloves then back to the register..Customer service poor, no conversing with the seated guest beyond taking the order.

The lady there was very rude and kept giving us ugly looks overpriced food place needs to be remodeled

Yes stop in there on Wednesday for dinner on the road wish now I would not have stopped here very bad experience one Asian man working he told me the fish was fresh and the gizzards and heart's were fresh very cold and I took one bit of a gizzard and got a very bad taste so I spit it out there was a green thing attached to meat and been sick every since it's Saturday night now still sick

This was not like the other Hartz I’ve gone to. This buffet was not good it was over cooked and tasted like all the fried stuff was cooked in very old grease. I definitely would not recommend was not worth the money spent.

Employees were great!!! Wish I could say the same about the food. They had murder crime scenes on the TV while we ate. Crackers smelt terrible.

Overpriced. Not that good. Not my first time there but this is my last time. If you want fried chicken or buffet, go anywhere else.

This location needed some tender loving care. None of the food was good and the tables were not very clean. It was the kind of place you worry about what you are eating.

Went in ,the first thing we see behind counter is an employee with his flip flop off picking his toes. As far as I could see(believe me I watched his every move)he only operated the soft serve machine

Came in at 8 and they said they close at 9. Didnt want to cook anymore food. Too worried about food cost and waste. Employee sitting behind counter eating the majority of the chicken off of the buffet.food looks likes it's been sitting there all day.

Came from out of town. Ate at this restaurant and it was the worst food I've ever tasted. They fry their fish and chicken in the same oil everything including the rolls tasted like fish. Horrible service waited 15 mins for my food in the drive through. The guy couldnt hardly speak english he couldnt understand what I was asking for. Never again!

No star if I could. The cashier and cook acts retarded and wasn't rushing to take our order after we been standing for 5 mins already. Tried to give me mashed potatoes with old gravy that was sticking to the pan and crusty looking and the jalapeno looked like a pickle

WORST BUFFET EVER!!!THE FOOD WAS HORRIBLE... Chiken wasn't done, liver was very hard and dry. And when i asked him for dessert he said they didn't have anymore. Kids with any type of customer skills is so bad for business. Someone please do something about it.

What a dive. Food was very lack luster. Employees seemed upset we interrupted their youtube watching. Had to ask to have food from the buffet replaced because there was none left. The catfish was cold the chicken was hot but had no flavor it was deep fried chicken with flour batter no seasoning in the batter that we could taste. The rice was dried up into a ball the potatoes had a dried crust on top of them. The worst was there were 4 or 5 dirty tables and the staff had their noses deep in their phones or laptop. I was disgusted. A manager is desperately needed in the winnie location along with a deep deep scrubbing of the restaurant. I would not be suprised if this location is closed within a year.

Semi truck driver parked at JP truck/Gulf stop. Walk in the door and 🐀 ran across in front of the Buffet I'm GOOD!!! Goggle you can take this review down if you want however you'd be doing people a disservice.

They so cheap with everything. Ask for extra butter because i order extra rolls gave me exactly 2 butter. With no ketchup with my 3 piece chicken. Its ridiculous

If I could give it a negative star I would. I witnessed first hand the guy working there pouring returned gravy from a costumer back into the buffet dish. There food is the worst. All watered down and hormone chicken wholesale. I bet anything the Hart’s chain doesn’t know what there doing in this GOD forsaken restaurant. Do yourself a favor and pass it by.

I found many pieces of long black hair in my food. There has been no dessert every time I went for months. No drink menu. They got my order wrong. Absolutely the worst place ever in town.

The buffet used to be good, but they have made it bad. They have cut the catfish size down to the size of sugar cubes instead of the real fillets that are the only catfish offered on the menu. When I asked why they are so small, they said it was their normal buffet catfish, I have been going in ever since they opened, so I know that is not the way it used to be. It used to be strips about the same size as the chicken tenders. The milk gravy was all milk and no gravy. I was so disappointed I would have walked out if I had not already paid. When I asked to talk to the manager or owner I was treated very rudely. I asked for a phone number and the only one offered was for the store and they told me the could not give me any other number. Finally after much discussion the wrote down a number and gave it to me. I've called and left a message. If they call back and things change, I will update my review. Otherwise I will not be back and the $700 per year will go to other places that actually care.

Was super hungry when we arrived and left the same way. Food was old, cold, and dried out. (It was no better than what was on the buffet.)I had to ask for white meat because they keep it in the back for the drive thru. Watermelon that sat for so long it was soft and lacked any flavor. Large blow flies landing on everything completely ruining what little appetite I had left.

Buffet was terrible. The fried foods were ok but the sides all had a funny smell and taste.

I was excited for a chicken place near us, and since this location had some decent reviews, we decided to give it a try. My husband picked up this food and brought it home. We spent $55 on a 16 pc family meal with 4 sides, and an order of fried chicken livers. Let me start by saying this: there is something in this food that smells and tastes like chemicals. The fried chicken livers left a strange sheen, or weird coating in my mouth. I ate just one. The mashed potatoes smelled heavily of something that is plastic, chemically, or maybe even moth balls. The gravy smelled the same as the potatoes. It’s hard to eat food that tastes like moth balls smell. I ate a roll and chicken wing. The chicken is very very greasy, but no chemical taste detected. The rolls were edible. We are not super picky people, and $55 is a lot to be so disappointed. My son agreed that there is a serious issue with the food served/sold from this location. He said the mashed potatoes taste like an old building smells. I have never had food before that both my dogs refused to eat. (I’m serious about that. It’s how I knew there was something truly wrong with this food) I honestly do not know why food would smell or taste this way. I pray that nothing toxic was put in this food. I believe the health dept really needs to investigate this location. We won’t be going back ever, and hope to be fully refunded. They are welcome to have their food back. I would NOT recommend this Hartz Chicken buffet location to anyone.
