I ordered the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables. My Chicken Fried Steak was overcooked dry and very tough. I informed the manager and they remake the chicken fried steak and it was much better. The service was excellent and we enjoyed our meal. I recommend this restaurant. GN3

Might be ok for Houston and Beaumont types for us local and retired folks, totally unacceptable. My wife's food was over cooked and I didn't get my second side until I was done eating(with the bill). When asked about the food, we were honest about my wife's being over cooked and they said they would take it off the bill. They didn't and I paid for it anyway.

The hours have expanded I'm pleased to report and the food is just as good as it ever was. Some employees are not here anymore and they probably retired but the ladies working here work very hard to make sure the customers are always full. The circus posters on the walls, the period dresses the servers wear, and the table cloths and curtains add a note of nostalgia and send you back to a simpler time. Keep up the great work and I will keep coming. I drive 80 miles to get here and have been for 20 years. So I definitely recommend this place to anyone.

I have eaten here several times before writing this review…read more The price is steep but it's an all you can eat right!?! Well the first round they bring out is a whole chicken (tasted just like Brookeshire's chicken) then they asked exactly how many pieces you want after that. Mind you we had a full table of people so we needed another plate but it felt as if we had a limit. The greens are from a can. The chicken and dumplings are made from leftover chicken the day or so before. Also you have to get your own drinks and clear your own table. It's a neat experience for travelers but as a local it's a one time deal.

Different pies for dessert, all are delicious. Service is good and quick. On special holidays they have steak and other special deals. Great food for the price.

Cedar Tree Restaurant in Jasper offers exactly what you'd expect: a traditional Southern buffet…read morewith plenty of familiar comfort food and generous portions. The front-of-house staff were friendly and welcoming. We were seated in the back wing during a busy lunch crowd, which didn't bother us at all. The issue was that after our drinks arrived, our server seemed to disappear. As the crowd thinned, we found ourselves waiting for refills and attention. The buffet has all the classics--beef tips, chicken pot pie, fried catfish, chicken-fried pork loin, baked chicken, vegetables, and plenty of sides. It's filling and abundant, but it's a true country buffet experience: hearty, salty, and rich rather than refined. Cedar Tree clearly has a loyal following, and the full dining room shows that many folks enjoy what they offer. A little more consistency in service would make the experience even better.

I got grilled chicken and mushroom on a roll this was great. The service (and that's where I tip well or not) was so so. Received lukewarm coffee initially.

Server was not watching his tables and this was not a busy night. Large amount of kitchen noise, banging pots and clanging china. Didn't cheap out on tip but not my standard 20% mostly 15%.

I drove 65 miles to get to an authentic southern bbq restaurant since everything I find was closed down. The food was okay but the beans were out of a can and cold.
