We dined on a Friday evening for the seafood buffet. The offerings were more than enough, but the food was very bland and nothing special. We are local to Florida and will stick to eating real and fresh seafood. The salad bar was just ok and the desserts were dry and flavorless. The buffet also offered a few normal items such as pork and catfish, which were good but nothing to write home about. The service is fine and we enjoyed looking in the gift shop afterwords. I would never go out of my way to dine here and likely won't be back. Save your money and time and go eat in a nearby town.

The restaurant was somewhat empty when I arrived but it can definitely house a large group of people if needed. The ambiance is very causal and welcoming. The food came out quickly. I did enjoy my food, but the chicken was a bit dry and lacked something maybe some seasoning or needing something pickled. Regardless, I ate it all, the collard greens tasted good but way better in some vinegar. Overall, the experience was good and I enjoyed my food. I'm thankful I found something to eat in this town outside of fast or fried food. Maybe next time I'll try their ribs or wings, depending what it's fried in.

Really nicely decorated place-very new feel…read more Staff are polite and welcoming and the menu has lots of great-looking choices. The issue for us was that even though we both ordered very different items-both came so overly salty that we couldn't eat them. We did not complain, and we tipped the very nice server well...but probably won't go back. Hope it was just a one time thing-but don't want to risk wasting the $ again. Always taste the food before you put it on the customer's plates!

The food is great butI have noticed that the prices have gone up considerably and the portion sizes…read morehave shrank. The food always arrives promptly but more often than not, I have to flag someone down for a refill on my drink. The guy who appears to be the owner always has a scowl on his face and most of the staff act as if they'd rather that the customer had went anywhere but there. They really seem put out by having to service their customers. I've also noticed that they have started adding a charge for take out orders. I'm really not sure why they have such an attitude but it bothers me. I go out of my way to be polite and say please and thank you. I always tip the appropriate amount or more. We have started going out of town if we want good Mexican food with decent service. Since the owners and employees of the establishment have made us feel so unwelcome, we decided to take our business elsewhere.

Pizza was incredible along with brisket sandwiches. Can't say enough positive. The atmosphere and the live music was great!! The best bbq sandwich I've had in a long time. Definitely recommend!!

I never write reviews. However, this food experience is so horrible, I felt the need to warn…read moreothers not to waste your time or money. I've worked in food service for 30 years and been a lake goer for at least that long. The Jamestown Marina and Mama JJ in particular has lost our business forever. I also very rarely send food back or make a fuss or give a kitchen a chance to make it right. Today, on the lake the food was so stale and cold and the pork so hard and rubbery I hope we don't get food poisoning from the few bites we took trying it. It was not chewable and not swallowable. I asked the staff to make it right or for something else - they send me back an even worse entree that was even more cold and more stale ... I threw it in the trash. Here's a suggestion... if the customer asks or gives you the chance to make a bad experience better - try to do that and keep their business. Don't make it worse. We were the only customers in the restaurant at the time with 5 employees. The server had to go get the cook from smoking hanging out on the dock and the other servers just stood around goofing off. We are retired and spend seven days a week on the lake in the summer. We spend a lot of money eating out on the lake. We will travel to the state dock, wolf creek or rowena or go hungry rather than give this place our money and business anymore.

Upon our second visit, this restaurant was absolutely terrible this time around! We stood and…read morewaited to be greeted and seated, must have been a few minutes, no one else was even in the restaurant. Once seated a bus boy handed us our chips and salsa. He was completely silent, no hello or good bye. He looked like he hated his job. You could immediately tell, these chips came out of a bag from the store. They were stale and moist. We found out, the waitress cannot understand English, well, she leads you to believe that. She never understood the questions we were asking. Hello, you work in Kentucky, not Mexico City. Learn the language! We finally received our food. The Chicken Street Tacos were cold and dry, the shrimp ceviche was flavorless and the bowl of Spanish rice was also very dry. My margarita was terribly sour. Way too much lime. Now I can eat almost anything, but this took the cake. EVERYTHING was not up to par, honestly, it was absolutely terrible. To make matters worse, flies kept landing on our food. We needed to order a fly swatter. That's when we decided to walk, we ate maybe 25% of our food and called it a day. I asked the waitress if their chips were store bought. She claimed she doesn't understand English again.. That's funny, you just took our order in English. She finally admitted the chips came from a store bought bag. Seriously?!? You don't make your own tortilla chips?!? That's just wrong. I told her everything was not as before when we last stopped by for lunch a few months ago, today you missed the mark. She completely ignored me and just rung me up for $44.00 No sorry, no nothing! She knew our food sucked and I should have known better, NO ONE was in the restaurant while we ate. That normally gets my attention, but it was too late this time, I wasn't paying attention. Warming!!! They do not care if your meal is subpar. They do not care if flies are invading your meal. They do not care at all to make things right. Obviously it's a take it and lump it senerio. We walked away from a table with a boatload of food still on it. She couldn't care less. Do yourself a big favor and steer clear of this so called Mexican restaurant. They put Mexican food to shame here. Taco Bell does a better job than these Mexican food wannabes. They are a million miles away from executing a meal that you could actually eat. I did leave them a tip, "make your own chips!" Stale and store bought chips should have made me walk minutes after I sat down. My brain needs to remember this next time. El Maguey Mexican Grill is a true and flaming Dumpster Fire! Truth be told, Garbage in, Garbage out! It's that simple and they don't care one thing about it. So sad! You're feeding people bad food and you're still expecting to collect their money. That's bad business and you should be held accountable for it.
