The Mason Jar

EXTREMELY disappointed in this place. My husband & I made our first & last visit to this place on 2÷12÷16. We arrived at 6:40pm & were seated immediately but had to wait 30 mins before anyone took our drink & food order. I had ordered a jumbo baked potato with steak tips & my husband ordered a steak that came with a jumbo potato (which is not jumbo at all). Several mins. later, the server came back stating they were out of steak tips. So I said I was fine with just the potato. Several mins. after that, the server returned & stated they only had 2 baked potatoes left & they were going to give one of the potatoes to another guest (who arrived AFTER us). I then changed my order to the «TWO Pork Chops» so my husband could have the potato. Finally, when our dinner arrived, I noticed I only had ONE pork chop. It seemed like a good sized portion, however, after cutting into it, more than half of it was nothing but bone! When I asked the server why the menu stated 2 pork shops & I received only 1, she stated that the owner changed it to a larger portion size but hasn’t updated the menus yet. I showed her that more than half my pork chop was bone, all she did was say «sorry, he just hasn’t been able to update the menus», then she moved on to a different table. The manager never came out to speak with me regarding my complaint, nor were we even offered any sort of compensation for this misleading dinner that was clearly listed on the menu differently than what I had received. My side dishes were barely luke warm and my husband was served his salad with his dinner instead of before. Oh, and about that baked potato, it wasn’t even warm enough to melt the butter or the cheese. Our visit was on the Friday night of Valentine’s weekend, and at 7pm they were already out of baked potatoes, steak tips, onion rings and fried mushrooms!!! Needless to say, my husband & I regret spending our first Valentine’s day, as a married couple, at The Mason Jar. We will not be returning to this restaurant, nor will we ever recommend it to anyone who asks.

Absolutely fantastic. The patty melt was one of the best I’ve ever had. would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for good southern food!

Delicious Southern buffet. Had chicken tenders with green beans and Mac and cheese, all very tasty. Cornbread and biscuits were fresh and so good! Will make this a regular stop.

Good and reasonably priced food, buffet style. the only problem is that it is hard to find. it is located upstairs at the Clarion Hotel and the outside signage is not very good.
