    It was not very good. The service was not very good and they weren't very nice and explanatory about how it worked. Barely checked on and it was not a very fun experience. The broth was flavorless the meats was too salty. I was so excited about this place opening, literally waiting for a year to open, and it felt lacking. There are other Korean barbecue and hot pot places in the area that I would rather spend my money on than this place again. So dissapointed!!!

    It was the coolest thing to grill our own food at the restaurant. That's my rib and lamb and my husband's ribeye and and a few veggies

    First of all the atmosphere was very nice and clean. They welcome you immediately and take you to your table. Our waitress Lynae Sadie was the absolute best ever service I've received at a restaurant. She was very patient and knowledgeable of the menu and even gave me suggestions that will be my go to items such as the ribs and lamb. The food was seasoned to perfection and us getting to cook it was so cool. The buffet has wings spring rolls sushi and the list goes on. We will definitely be returning. That was the first all you can eat buffet that I ate all I could eat but didn't feel over stuffed. Another lady I believe to be upper management also was very nice and checked on us as well. It's roughly 40.00 per adult but it's worth every dollar. My husband and I really needed to do something different and I want to thank JPot for providing such a wonderful atmosphere. Keep it up

    We like this place so much we've been there a few times since they opened. It's so pretty on the inside! The first time we went was a couple weeks after they opened so there was a couple issues but the service has always been good! We do both the bbq and hot pot. The wait staff is extremely good and explaining how everything works. My favorite soup base is the healthy herb! The veggie section is always stocked and fresh (I highly recommend trying the wood ear mushrooms) They have a small hot buffet section and I love the bbq and lemon pepper wings. They also have a sushi section that's pretty solid. Then you have a sauce bar that includes soy sauce, chili oils, hoisin sauce, chopped garlic and so much more. I love mixing the j pot soy sauce with a lil sweet chili sauce and chili crisp oil. This place has just gotten better every time we go. I hope it stays as good as it's

    Had a great time. Our server Celeste C. Helped us with the menu, made some great suggestions and was very attentive. The atmosphere was inviting and friendly but a bit loud. We ordered the BBQ grill and it was fantastic. Will definitely come again. Next time I want to try the hot pot .

    The restaurant has a nice vibe. JPot is delicious! Our waitress, Jaile was wonderful! We will come back!

    Service and quality was the best!!!! Mathew always takes great care of me and my guests!! Justin

    Overall: 3.3/5 Food: 1.8/5 -Meat was rather low quality. Cheaply made. -Broth was very underseasoned. It tasted watered down, and rather bland with such a small hint of flavor. -Buffet food was okay. The Shrimp tempura is unique in a good way. Ambiance: 4/5 -Very nicely decorated. -Warm ambiance with just the right amount. -Only reason they didnt get a 5 is because the AC was very hot and the music they played wasn't very good. Service: 4/5 -It was good, food came fast and our server was attentive. Other things to note: -The grill they use is a very big concern for a fire hazard. Its an open grill with big holes, which is not suitable for the type of BBQ that they have, because you need to spray oil, oil + open flame is not a good combo. Its a matter of time before it becomes an actual fire hazard. Preferably would like to see a flat round grill in the future. -The ground was very dirty around the buffet area, however its understandable due to the volume of custome that was there.

    Nice and cozy booth

    We've tried several barbecue places around Corpus, and we think Mac's was one of the best. The food…read morehad wonderful flavor, and the staff was extremely friendly. We enjoyed everything we ordered and would highly recommend it."

    If I could I would leave a -100 mac's ruin our mother's. I call for mac's to cook some meat for us…read moremother's day I have used them many times they even cook for our wedding and many other occasions. When you drop off meat they change by the pound and write down what you bring now am picky about my meat I only buy meat from moody and commissary, and sausage from heb only because they dont carry. Other times the taller lady w/glass brings you the food and open it so you can check it. Well today was weird a short Hispanic man bought my food out I was waiting for him to open the container. Nope he kept saying you dont have to check it all there we dont steal and the owner pack it himself. Now am thinking I have never been told that ever not here not no where. Because says that to a customer. Unless all your food not there. But the man kept repeating it all the way to my car it wasn't seating well with me. But just said OK I had other places to I bought over there 4 beef ribs, 3 pork rib, 4 chicken half, 10 v&v links 5 jalapeño cheddar sausage. I pick it up close to 5 I got home at 710pm I went to season the meat and slab of pork ribs was missing i called and left a message. No one called i called Wednesday the lady repeats my order like I didn't know what I bought over there. She get the owner to call back he tells me he packed it himself and all my food was there I said first it wasn't second why would that make a difference who packs it i dont you or anyone who works there nor did I see you pack it and I dont care who pack as.long as my food is there. Then he said what you want me too to do. I said you tell me the owner then said well I can gave you 10 dollar what you paid to cook that ribs I said and where is the cost of the meat at. He repeat I can give you 10. I told him it seems that you need that meat and 10 more then I do but believe me I will tell everyone I know that you all steals and to make sure when they say you dont have to check you better check because that means they stole your food. That only makes me think about all the meat drop off and paid 300 and 250 for them to cook the meat if really received all of that meat back. Who knows if they not whiching out people meats too. But what I do know we will never ever use them again. A smart business person would of said What can do you can come in and get 3 lbs of pork ribs or your choice of meat to make it right. That's how you do business. And it wasn't about the missing meat it was that man kept saying OVER OVER YOU DONT NEED TO CHECK THE OWNER PACK IT. WELL THE OWNER CANT COUNT AND HE STEALS .​

    I can't believe I've lived in Corpus Christi for six years and never tried our local five-pound ode…read moreto Tex-Mex breakfast cuisine. I was surprised when most of my friends and coworkers had never even heard of it, and later, I gleefully showed them pictures of the baby-sized taco I ordered. For $12, you can't go wrong. The looks of awe from the faces of the children at the next table as they brought the foil-wrapped wonder out, were worth it alone. It came with potato, sausage, bacon, brisket, chorizo, egg, and cheese. I finished maybe an eighth of the taco there, and my boyfriend couldn't put down any more than a quarter of it at a time, afterwards. It was good enough to have for nearly every meal between the two of us until it was gone the next day. Portion-wise, it would probably feed four hungry adults with no leftovers. I only wish it would've been more chorizo-heavy, but this is a minor gripe. No-substitutions, otherwise I would have ordered it with more chorizo and potato, and less sausage. Be sure to take plenty of pictures, because this thing is impressive and you're sure to be the envy of your friends on social media if that's your shtick.

    The food, the employees (family owned), the atmosphere was nice and quiet. It is a very cozy place…read moreand they were so kind to us. We ordered our food and as we waiting they gave us complimentary conchitas and they were AMAZING! I ordered the brisket chalupas and they were fantastic! This place is definitely 5 stars!!
