The number of times I have called and no answer.

If I could give less than a 1 star I would. We called in an order and were told to call when we arrived. We waited 20-25 to make sure it was ready. We arrived and called them 25 times and nothing so we decided to go back home. After an hour they called and asked if we still wanted our order. I politely said no because we had already came home. She then told me I was "wasteful" and "rude" and told not to order from them anymore.

A four star Chinese place in Mathis?!? I was surprised too. But there are a few things you must remember in order to achieve this four star experience. 1. Do NOT get the buffet. That stuff is probably registering for Kindergarten later today. 2. Stick to the basics. Don't get fancy. Chicken or beef in sauce with rice or noodles, with or without vegetables. This is the sweet spot. They do this well. 3. Get some appetizers. The egg drop is legit, the crab puffs are delicious, and the egg rolls are done well. That's it. These should be your guidelines to most small town Chinese restaurants, to get the best experience. Here, that results in 4 star deliciousness.

We ordered the Sesame Chicken (which is AMAZING) and the Mushroom Beef. It was me and my two teenage children and we were able to order two dinners and share between all three of us. I would stick with Chicken Entrees, the beef is a little chewy. You can't tell by the appearance but this place is very good and they make everything fresh! Prices are good too.

Sichuan Delight & Happy Family were delish!

This is a to go place only. The food is great, plentiful, and quick. It's best to call ahead due to the amount of customers they service.

For a small town this is pretty good. The food was definitely Chinese and good. Everything we ordered was served hot and quickly.

JJ's Cafe - Chicken fried steak with Fry's and Mac n cheese

I've been in Rockport about 5 years now and had never had the opportunity to visit. Today was a…read moreperfect day to adventure out. Great little hideaway place next to Walmart. Nothing fancy loved the ambiance. Immediately greeted and self select of a table. A little bit of a wait for menus and drink orders buts that's okay, Rockport is a laid back place on my opinion. I had the 2-egg (choice of scrambled) with hash browns and choice of meat-Canadian Bacon and toast, I chose an English Muffin. My husband had the grits but asked for Catfish instead of Shrimp and they obliged. Thank you Chef!! Overall I enjoyed my first experience at JJ's and will most definitely return for lunch. I overheard the chicken fried steak is a winner.

I visited this restaurant in the north part of town on a busy Sunday. There were about 20 people…read morealready waiting outside when I arrived. I had called 30 mins prior but they do not do reservations but I gave them my info over the phone anyway. Upon arrival, I did get seated rather quickly with my group of 8, but that's not why I took off 2 stars. This would have been a 3.5 star restaurant because the food was good when it finally came out, but the key word is finally. Once we ordered, it took about 1 hour for the food to even come out. For a small breakfast restaurant this is just ridiculous. We saw 2-3 other tables that arrived after us that received their food. It tells me they either only have 1 person in the kitchen, or they're not prepared for a Sunday crowd. Either way, they're were not prepared. Our group ordered both lunch and breakfast items but based on the foods that were coming from the kitchen, they chose to only cook the breakfast items and bring those to other tables. I chose the chicken fried steak since the menu indicated it was hand-breaded. I picked Texas toast as my bread, and green beans and mashed potatoes as my sides, expecting them to be basically canned and powdered potatoes. The sides ended up being fresh green beans cooked well done with caramelized onions which were very flavorful. The potatoes were homemade as well with cream gravy, but needed some additional seasoning. The rest of my group loved their food too, as all 7 other plates were cleaned with no food left. Just when we thought we were in the clear it was time to pay. Well, that didn't go all that well either. Our waitress was busy bringing orders out and catering to another newly seated table and going back and forth to the kitchen getting them anything and everything to go along with their meal, meanwhile we had our check ready and she bypassed our table 2-3 times and didn't look our way. I didn't want to be rude since she was nice, but she was in over her head and beyond busy apparently. Three stars is being nice here, but we did like the food....so that's their saving grace.

Well, my "dish to compare" is sweet and sour chicken so that's what I ordered. My wife ordered the Shaken Beef. She also wanted some wonton soup. The chicken inside the fried pieces was so shredded it was actually fluffy inside. I guess if your teeth are painful during eating that's a good thing...but it left me...used to eating palpable meat pieces inside the S&S chicken, this was incredibly disappointing. It was almost flavorless. My wife's beef cubes/pieces were very chewy. By her description (and I tried one piece and concur) it was beef flavored chewing gum. I have to guess it was very well marinated low quality beef. Oh...and we had visitors of the fruit fly variety. They were quite frequent in visiting. The fairly pushy waitperson also put two extra meals on our ticket. Only after we went down the ticket and saw the extra entrés and did she come over to correct it. Left us wondering if she was trying to take advantage of a couple of older people. Speculation, but billing errors leave bad impressions. We won't be back.
