Jakes Chinese Buffet - Belton (TX)

1 /5 JoAnn Moore: Went at 2:30 this p.m. today for buffet. Only thing that was close to being warm or hot was the soup!!! Drinks were horrible, no carbonation. Waitress seemed bothered that we had coupe of plates on the table!!! Haven’t been there in 2 years; safe to say I won’t ever go back!!!! Wasn’t even offered a discount of any kind.

5 /5 R C: Third time visiting this small but incredibly amazing buffet. Perfect timing for my dirve as it was time to eat dinner. Cant believe I forgot to give them their 5 stars before. Incredible food. They could not present their buffet food in full-sized trays but the half trays were always fresh and refilled. My favorites were available especially the coconut shrimp. The hot and fresh baked spinach was amazing. The smallness of the place made the ambiance cozy and quiet enough to enjoy great food. Bathroom was clean as always. Owner and staff were hospitable as always. Owner even remembered me for my visits. Will always pass this place from the highway whenever I could..I sadly live around 3 hrs from it. Kudos and Godbless.

3 /5 CTX Traveler: Hate to leave a low review but the quality of the food was even lower. I understand times are tough and prices are high but cutting prices on quality of meats is a bad business choice. Went around lunch time so everything was semi freshly cooked. Didn’t eat any meats besides the meat on the stick because every other meat tasted very low quality. Staff was nice. A few times they brought out freshly cooked food they didn’t F.I.F.O. it with the food already out on the buffet. Extremely disappointing.

5 /5 Julie MacKnyght: Weve been going to Jakes for 10yrs now; its our most go-to restaurant in the area. Rarely do we have to wait for a table, and since its buffet style, theres no wait to eat. Even my children in their picky seasons can find something they like (and of course, theres always the fruit/dessert table!). If you prefer (or have dietary restrictions) you can order off the menu instead. Drinks are generous and you can take your refill to go if you ask. The staff is so friendly and welcoming, they make us feel like family there. Its one of those places where you know each other by name vs the chain restaurants. The flip side is that some folks may find the ambiance too small for their taste, but we wouldnt trade it for the world!

1 /5 Joseph Lamotte: I have only been here one time maybe 12 years ago and it wasnt bad. Went for my 2nd time today and food was not great. The food presentation looked good but I only liked the fried fish and white rice. Tried the chow mein and it was literally spaghetti noodles it made me gag. Tried sesame chicken and it had zero flavor, soggy, and the chicken was stringy. For 17$ i would not return.
