I got my order to go, and they were pretty quick getting my New Yorker out to me. The bathroom was clean, and the restaurant was quite big. Everyone seemed nice inside as well. It's really just your typical McAlister's. This isn't the fault of this location, but holy smokes those prices are outrageous. RIYL: The chain of McAlister's. They make soups and stuff

The last time we were here was probably over a year ago and we decided we wouldn't come back…read more Unfortunately, a good friend who is on temporary diet restrictions wanted to go, so we did. The dill pickle lemonade was surprisingly good! But... The reason we stopped coming was the shockingly minimal amount of meat on the sandwiches, and the high prices for meat that can't even cover the bread. It hasn't changed, I can't believe they are still in business, this is the same reason we stopped going to (the now closed) Schlotsky's). The amount of ham on those sandwiches seem to be ok, but... I order a 1/2 and 1/2 with a garlic steak and a "bbq" honey pork. The tiny slivers of meat that were there were not appealing at all, they were both the same odd color of grey, and again, couldn't even cover the bread. The flavor (like the meat) was almost non existent. I couldn't even tell which was which... I literally used about six napkins throughout the course of 2 sandwich halves?? What was leaking out? It wasn't water? As I longingly gazed out the window at Chick Fil A I lamented the loss of $35 for sandwiches and drinks for 2 people. So long McAllisters, you blew it for good this time.

If your finding this restaurant, and your in WINTERS TEXAS, this place is not even close. Just a little info. Because I found this listing while visiting my grandparents in Winters, this place is shown to be right out by the lake. Well after some research, it's not. I knew it was too good to be true. But it LOOKS like a really nice place. Maybe one day I will take a road trip and go give a real review.

Food: I was skeptical of the latte when it arrived because it was so light. I was worried it would just taste like flavored milk, but that was not the case. Nice roasted coffee without being bitter and the salted caramel syrup was delicious. The fruited chicken salad was not my favorite but I would like to try some more of their menu.

Next they have a homemade tomato vinaigrette for the salad...a MUST try. I wasnt sure at first but I love trying any dressing they say is house made...and this is well worth it! The bread is good as well......but what you expect ro be the star of your meal is less than stellar. I got chicken parm with a side of linguine with Alfredo. Well the plate came out looking like a pool of alfredo....the chicken had obviously been pre-made and microwaved, it was chewing and rubbery. It had littke to no flavor....I sadly and I mean sadly...had to add salt and pepper. I couldn't even finish it. I did get a cannoli to go. It was decent. The filling was not the right consistency but it tasted fairly good. The table next to me, I heard them order chicken parm as well and when their order came out, she ordered pink sauce and i heard her complaining about the pool of pink sauce that just over ran her plate as well. Last but not least....it is about 82 degrees if not hotter in there. You can not cool down after coming in from the heat. Its awful.

My sister & I shown up around 4:05pm on Saturday, March 21st. There were two booths open. One still had stuff on it so we sat at what looked like the clean table. It apparently had not been wiped clean. There was water and some sort of sticky stuff on it. We told the young man about the sticky stuff and asked for a towel to clean the table. The young man brought us a dry towel. We ended up using hand sanitizer to clean the table. After about 15 minutes of waiting, my sister brings attention to the waitress that we would like to get drinks. The waitress, Carson, informed us that they're closed from 3:30pm to 4:30pm due to waitress/cook shift change, but since it was just two of us and it's nearly 4:30, she will go ahead and serve us. We feel that if the restaurant is closed for any reason, no matter the length of time, there should be a sign & the door should be locked. We ordered a large chicken fried steak and fried pickles. I said that we want the pickles first. The CFS came and I reminded her that we wanted the pickles first. She then said that she put in the order and need to check, they should be done. No, we heard them being dropped in the fryer. Then, when receiving our pickles, she said that the boy was cutting pickles when we came in and so they weren't read.... I say bolony. I don't believe either thing she said. The water was gross, unsure if the glasses were dirty but I had stuff floating in mine. It actually tasted like it had another soda in it. My sister's was awful too. She went next door and bought 2 bottles of water. I told Carson about the water. She didn't offer anything else to drink or take our glasses away. After being served, Carson never came back to the table. I'm only give a second star because of the food. Staff would get a 0 stars if I could. Update: Since this review, they've updated their hours on Google.

After waiting for an hour we got our food, and it was ok. Nothing special. The wait was unreasonable, given the fact that we were the only patrons the whole time we were there. When our check came, it was $89 for one steak and carne guisada. The waitress just smiled and laughed when I asked if there was some mistake. "Yes, the 'market price' for the ribeye is $49" Kinda explains why no one else was there. If you want ordinary food at eye-popping prices, ZJ's is the place to go.

I felt bad and made sure to order the buffet for all of us and planned on eating what was already out and leaving quickly to respect their time, but not only did they immediately pop in multiple new items without being asked, but they let us know what they were doing, acted happy and excited to serve us, and noticed that I was cold and turned off the fans. To say that I was absolutely stunned by the customer service is an understatement. I cannot express enough gratitude and surprise by the welcoming atmosphere. Especially because we had family visiting from out of state. They couldn't believe the kindness they experienced. The food was extremely good, which is often a surprise at a buffet. We all made ourselves a bit sick because we didn't want to stop eating it! There were so many choices, even though they were about to close. They didn't let us leave wanting. I would definitely visit again. Prices are great, and I hope they keep up with this unusual level of excellence. It's refreshing to find a place like this with the staff they have.
