M & J Home Cooking Oxford — Restaurant in Oxford

No…just no…we pulled in with a little over a hour before closing. Two cars in parking lot and two parties in the restaurant. With all the reviews you’d think it would have been busy. The sweet tea was good if you like it super sweet (which I do) and the service was great. People were super friendly. HOWEVER, the food while hot, was DISGUSTING. The Mac n cheese was yellow colored noodles with water there was ZERO cheese flavor/taste in fact you could see some of the powder cheese mix where it wasn’t stirred properly but they added WAAAAAAY too much water. So if you like water yellow noodles, this is your place. The mashed potatoes were instant and the gravy they were using you had to scoop it out of some frozen store bought salisbury steak. I think the okra and roll was the best part from the buffet. Nothing tasted like fresh baked/cooked all tasted as if it was purchased from Walmart and heated up/cooked. I guess it’s home cooking because probably 50% of American households eat this in their homes. It was a one and done for us. It was also weird to enter right into the buffet area. So the door and buffet were right next to each other. I found that to be kinda...

Seen 5 star ratings so we stopped at this location today after attending a funeral. First impressions really matter. First things first, the hostesses (4) standing at front stand chatting amongst themselves, one asked how many in our group, told them 5. One hostess proceeded to go check table for availability for my party so we started to follow the hostess but was quickly called back and said the hostess was going to check to see if a table was available or not. When the hostess returned she pointed and told us to proceed to the end row of tables and the we'll find our table to the right. Who does this? It wasn't just my group but several other groups that came in after we were seated for our meal. Unfortunately I did not get any of the hostesses name but our waitress was very courteous to us and very attentive. Several times when returning to buffet line the hostesses were standing and chatting about their weekend plans and their attire for going out. Tmi for working in a public restaurant. The meal was fine and our waitress was really good... Will not be returning to this location for dining...

I'm employed at an nearby location which I visit M&J 3x a week for veggies. Yesterday my manager came to town and I directed her to try eating at M&J. However, she experienced a bad episode with one of the servants. This is our conversation. Me: I purposely ate at M&J today and spoke to the manager, Christine (she was out yesterday), and told her about your episode from yesterday while eating lunch. My Manager: That was kind of you Lacy! I definitely don't want to go back to M & J again! Me:I really hate you had that experience. My Manager: things happen...people may have tried to go back to the bar using a one time dinner plate to feast themselves...it would have been sufficient for her to advise me that since I had a single plate by weight I wouldn't have been eligible for a return visit to the buffet....which I already knew cause I bought a single plate by the pound!! I'm not a cheater and try to scam them! Moral of this story: Be careful where you send your...
