Jonathan's Bbq Seafood Soul Food Cajun Creole

First off let me start by saying staff was great. Friendly and helpful. The inside was nice. I think pics I see were very strategically taken to make it nicer than it really is though. Now to the meat of my review. Most of the food was horrible. I say most because the potato salad was actually pretty good. I can't comment on everything because I got the buffet and most of what I got there I did not like. I actually hate making this review because the people were nice. Unfortunately, being nice doesn't correlate to good food.Today they had the fried catfish and chicken wings. I can say the chicken tasted a bit dry and greasy. Like you'd expect chicken to taste from a grimy road side gas station. The catfish was tough. I did find some enjoyment after heavily dousing it with Louisiana hot sauce. Which I noticed most of the hot sauce containers were almost empty. That made me wonder if others had the same idea I did. The macaroni and cheese could've been good. I think what ruined it for me was the actual smoke taste. I wonder if that's an artificial smoke they put in that. I would suggest not doing it. I think it would be fine without it and a lot of people would enjoy it better. My spouse got the brisket., I can say she didn't think it was terrible but when I tried it, I thought it tasted like canned meat. Again, I hate leaving this review because I did find the service good. The people were nice. What I can say is whoever did the marketing for this place needs to consider a career switch that is if they are working in the restaurant. They had me sold. I drove from downtown just to check this place out. I also told numerous friends and family about it . The pictures make it look like you're gonna be walking into a storefront representing the deep south. You can smell the food through the pictures. The reality though is far from what you imagine I'd like to go back and try again someday and see that they turn it around. It just seems to me that so many people that like to cook don't really take pride in their work. I don't think I'm being overly harsh on this review just honest. The same things I tasted I think the majority of others would agree. I actually saw the table across from our get up and leave because their expectations didn't meet Reality. for these reasons, I give it two stars.

Service was good, buffet can hardly be called a buffet. It had chicken or fish. The drinks that didn't have out of order on them only one worked. Fish and potato salad were good. $18 for for buffet and drink. There were only 8 items to chose from.

I feel in love with the seafood boil. A bit pricey but worth it. I was greeted as soon as I came threw door exceptional service felt welcomed. The atmosphere was homey, loved the vibe. Perfect for a date night or family or group setting. I’ll be returning for sure

IT WAS RAINING SO HARD TODAY FINALLY GOT A CHANCE TO STOP AND CHECK OUT THIS AWESOME PLACE. I LOVE A BUFFET. AND IM SO HAPPY WE HAVE ANOTHER SOUL FOOD BESIDES PEACH TREE AND KC DAIQUIRI. IT STARTS AT 11a AND IT WAS $18 I ATE JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING ON THE BUFFET FRIED CHICKEN WINGS-FRIED FISH-PASTA-COLLARD GREENS-GREEN BEANS -POTATO SALAD-CORN-AND THE CUCUMBERS WERE DELICIOUS ALSO AND THERE IS COKE SPRITE ROOT BEER AND THE 2 YOUNG LADIES WERE SO NICE AND POLITE. AND I LOVED THE BATHROOM WAS CLEAN AND THE DECOR WAS REALLY NICE ITS WORTH IT. I COULD’NT EAT BUT 1 PLATE GO CHECK IT OUT. THE SOUND OF JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING THROUGHOUT THE RESTAURANT. I LOVED IT THEY ALSO HAVE A DINNER BUFFET. I HOPE THAT THE OWNER OPENS UP ANOTHER CLOSER TO MIDTOWN KC OR KCKS

Had the all you can eat buffet. Not worth the $25. The fish and chicken was just ok. The greens, yams,green beans were all out of the can no flavor. The pasta was sweet (never heard of sweet pasta). The pulled pork was salty as heck. The turkey meatloaf (if that's what you want to call it). Needless to say being from the south myself it wasn't any soul in that food. I left hungry.
