I have eaten here several times. Food is always good. It's a Buffett style with a couple of choices of main meats and different sides. Salad full bar. 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. Rustic atmosphere makes for a down home cozy meal experience. Only place I will eat at in Jasper. read more

The very best buffet I know of. They have a seafood buffet on Friday and Saturday nights.

I got the chicken Laredo and it was good. The cheese sauce wasn't much it just seemed like a Velveeta based simple recipe. The onion rings were good. The service was a little iffy. The price I paid for the amount of food I got was good. read more

The food here at the Cedar Tree is always really good and there is a great selection everyday on their Buffet Table!! The have a really nice Salad Bar on one side with plenty to choose from. On the other side is their main courses and sides and they're are always 3 to 4 main items to choose from as well as sides. When your done their is a dessert section in between the two! Although it's buffet, there are waitresses that attend to your needs like drinks and anything else you might need. The ambience is here is what we like, there are a lot of antiques decorating the walls and other places that give it a really laid back at home feeling. That's why we like coming here!!! read more

Great pit stop heading to LA! Excellent quality in their buffet! The chicken fried steak was on point. Nice service, too!

Food is delicious but very expensive. Waitstaff were friendly and courteous. The place itself is quite nice

Cedar Tree is a wonderful restaurant. Been a staple in Jasper for many years for a reason! I love the variety the buffet offers. If you're a seafood lover the seafood buffet on Friday and Saturday is great. We always get greeted when walking in and feel welcome. read more

Absolutely the best Jasper has to offer, great buffet and wonderful service, the staff is as friendly as you will find anywhere, Haley is one heck of a good person, she even prayed with us before we ate. read more

Stopped in here on our way home to Austin. Really enjoyed the buffet and we are particular about buffets. Food always looked fresh and arranged nicely. I had some catfish (really tasty/fried right!), green beans that were cooked perfectly and not cooked until they break apart. The salad bar had a good variety of offerings to dress up any sad lettuce! The dessert table had home made pies and the chocolate pie was as good as mine (and I only do home made!). Solid restaurant and staff were all friendly and ready to help. read more

Have been twice at different times going through town and both times the buffet has been wonderful! The desserts are so hard to choose from but everyone I've tried has been good. read more

Visited this place with my mother. I was surprised at the quality and quantity of the food. The small horse shoe shaped self serve bar was always full of food and desserts. I sampled everything. The food was really great. The service was fast and the servers smiled and seemed to be very helpful. I noticed that the servers actually wiped down the seats and tables after each use. If and when I'm back in Jasper.... I will revisit this restaurant read more

Always greeted at the door, never a long wait or wait of any kind, seated where you'd like. Buffet style or order off the menu, very fresh food, and very clean buffet bar. Food was delicious. Staff are wonderful and dessert is divine. I recommend everyone goes to Cedar Tree restaurant to eat! read more

This is what down-home cooking should be! Great place for lunch, with friendly staff, good buffet, and amazing homemade desserts.

We are heading there for a second time in a week. Traveling through and we found this gem. Great food, staff and price. Great variety on their buffet. read more

I visited Cedar Tree for their Friday seafood buffet. That night they featured a low country boil which was seasoned very nicely and kitchen staff ensured the table was stocked. Everything else on the buffet was "meh.". The server did a great job ensuring customers lemons and drawn "butter.". That "butter" is the primary reason for my mixed review. For the price, I expect real butter not liquid chemicals. read more

The place is great depending on what day you go there the food is good one day then not so great the next

I had never been until recently (May 2025) and I was MOST pleasantly surprised:) I had the buffet and the food was all hot, fresh and on point! Great southern cooking! And wow, the chocolate pie tasted homemade just like my aunt used to make at the holidays (perfect flaky crust)! Rich chocolate filling. What a treat! I'm thinking to organize a "girl's trip" and we all drive up to eat soon! I am singing ya'lls praises to everyone. One happy customer! Thank you! read more

Staff here is almost always friendly and accommodating. Food is usually always excellent. Always clean!! GOOD JOB! Cedar Tree read more

Last time I visited here they were still in the old building! That's been awhile!! The new place (to me anyway) is still very good! The waitress was very outgoing and friendly, and got us seated right away. It wasn't very crowded at all and it was a little after 6pm. They have a very good menu, but my wife and I opted for the buffet. Our little one who is six chose to get a cheese burger off of the menu with fries. He really loved it and said it was very good. The buffet had fried catfish, chicken fried steak, beef stew, kernel corn, greens, fried mushrooms, sweet potatoes, green beans, and dinner rolls. The other side of the buffet was a salad bar and my wife said it was very good with many items to choose from for your salad. They also had a variety of dessert items on the buffet, pies, and cakes. We had a very good experience and will be going back read more

Cedar Tree Restaurant - Catfish, fried mushrooms, and greens off of the buffet - Steakhouses Near Me - Jasper, Texas

Very good home style cooking and very reasonably priced buffet. Good food selection and service was fantastic.

First time here today and we were blown away. Today was Buffett day: fried fish, chicken, dressing, veggies, casseroles, salad, rolls, ect. The fried fish was TO DIE FOR. The rolls were amazing. The desserts - decadent. All of the food was heavenly. We arrived around 12:40 and it was packed to the hilt, but we were seated within 10 minutes. We will definitely be back soon !!! Our waiter Christy was amazing! read more

Horrrrriibbbbblleeeeee everything cold and nasty. Biggest waste of money....... Tried everything even desserts and nothing was good

Delicious homemade food in a clean, well- lighted, pleasant, friendly place. The buffet selections change daily and people come daily because the food is so good. I've eaten a variety of places and at a lot of family reunions, and I was blown away by the quality and down home taste. (Also, cleanliness can be an issue at all- you-can eat buffets, but not here.) read more

Struggling between 4 and 5 stars. If my review was based on the quality of the food alone I'd say 5 stars for sure. My husband and I tried a little bit of everything and it was all delicious. However, the restaurant space itself and service brought the experience down a bit. There are lots of seating options. But when you have that many people and the buffet area is very tiny it gets crowded very quickly. I would love to see the space available taken advantage of. This was our first time here and we were given our drinks then our server took off and we weren't really sure where to go so we just wandered around until we found the buffet. There were quite a few options but not as many as you'd assume there would be for a buffet. We really did enjoy what was put out though. The salad bar, actual food and dessert were all crammed in that one little area. I'd have to say my favorite entree option was the fried chicken, the crust was PERFECT! If they have them out, definitely try the carrots! They had a bit of a sweet spice to it, they tasted like something you'd eat during the holidays, very yummy. Worth stopping by for lunch or dinner. Maybe try coming a little before or after the typical lunch/dinner hours so it's not as crowded. read more

Good food with a wide variety to choose from on the buffet. Service is always good but last night our server was Zack. He was so friendly and helpful. He constantly checked on us to see if we needed anything and was prompt to refill our tea glasses without us having to flag him down and ask for more tea. He always came to our table with a smile. Thanks Zack! You are definitely an asset to the Cedar Tree restaurant in Jasper, Tx. read more
