Customer Review Summary
The chicken dressing draws the most pointed complaint. Two reviewers say the celery and onions are cut in large pieces that stay hard and undercooked, that they posted about it before and saw no change on a return visit, and that others at their church noticed too. Both say the rest of the food is good. Separately, one reviewer found most dishes unseasoned, including the rolls and cornbread, and the cabbage undercooked. Another found the atmosphere a little dull, though the food was decent and reasonably priced.

“Absolute gem of a buffet to get home cooked food. My party enjoyed everything we had from the fried chicken, to the greens, the fried chicken livers to the potatoes.

“There are ok 'home cooking' buffets and then there's this place. The food always good, the place is always clean, and the service is great too. This is not fancy, it is a buffet. The prices are affordable. You should give M & J a try, I bet you won't be disappointed.”

“Coming from someone who is very picky when it comes to food and how much I eat… I was very pleased and very surprised that I was able to eat until I was full and enjoyed the food! When we walked in the door the lady that welcomed us was …”
