For a casual and affordable lunch, I recommend this place. I was happy for the healthy choices they had, as I can't tolerate too much fried food. read more

Picked up some chicken gumbo and literally got 75% rice. There was so much rice there was not even enough gumbo to make the rice brown.

Had lunch here with the family after my mom had a few errands to run. While I'm very familiar with the Hartz brand, it was my first time visiting this location. It was very hit or miss. From the outside, the building gives a vibe that it's dated and possibly rife with upkeep issues. My assumptions were confirmed once inside, but with a slightly growling stomach, I decided to overlook it and focused on the buffet. The fried chicken and the chicken tenders were really good. Maybe it's because the business day had just begun, but both were hot and fresh. Among the usual sides i.e. mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, etc. sat some gumbo, which I was impressed with. The Cajun staple paired well with the white rice. What disappointed me were the dirty rice with its off-putting taste and smell and the underwhelming baked chicken. The restroom doesn't give me confidence the staff prioritizes cleanliness. Thankfully, I just had to wash my hands after every plate. I wouldn't mind returning if given the chance, but if anything, the newer Hartz on 517 is better. read more

Hartz Chicken Buffet - a plate of fried chicken and rice - Southern Near Me - Texas City, Texas

I was basically the only person in line and had to wait an excessive amount of time while the manager filled Door Dash orders before mine.She was very low key nasty saying under her breath"she just has to wait" when I asked the cashier what is taking so long.I ordered 10 pieces of chicken only and a 12 piece fish.The fish piece sides were irregular in size so you get less than you pay for.I guess they figure that after you are full, you don't care what is left. Somebody was a little heavy handed on the salt but I don't have high blood pressure.The staff used to be very friendly but seem like a tyrant in charge has them afraid to think and speak in favor of a customer.If you waited excessively they would offer you a drink of soda.When I asked, this tyrant kept her back turned and told the cashier " I just have to wait", and the cashier was so used to her response that she never came back to tell me anything.$36.00 for food and bully -like behavior is enough for me not spend my money there anymore. read more

Fellow Yelpers and Foodies... all I am going to say is for the money you can't beat HCB. Old school chicken restaurant with a pretty good buffet especially if you are on a budget. Now don't expect anything fancy or frills. Do I recommend HCB??? Absolutely and definitely a loyal customer. So let it written.... So let it be FRIED!!! read more

Texas City, Texas: Thursday night visit and to start out the hours posted are WRONG. Hours are not until 9PM, they close at 8:30. We arrived at 7:45 PM and there was only 1 fried drumstick so we asked if they could please add some more chicken We asked several more times for the chicken and sometimes they replied but most of the time they all ignored us. Needless to say the fried chicken was never stocked, several other customers were also asking for the fried chicken, there were many We finally left at 8:30 PM and there was still no chicken, I tried to talk to an employee and they simply walked away. We used to visit this location once a week but NO MORE read more

website says they open at 10:30. BS. Showed up at 10:40 expecting some delicious food and the guy behind the register says they don't open until 11:00. Told him about the website then he gets angry at me. Walked out and went to Olive garden. Tonight, I show up at 18:55 (6:55 PM) and the bar is stripped down with no food, but they were taking orders across the register like Popeye's does. Menu only. What in blazes going on here? Been to the one off 518 and never, ever ran into this. Why is the restaurant and website so out of touch? Best teach that BOZO at Texas City some manners. "I'm sorry sir, we don't actually open until 11 - I will address the website discrepancy with my GM - again, sorry about this issue." is the way a manager handles customers. By the way.....PLEASE FIIX THIS!!!!!!!!! read more

The food there was so good. I live in the Woodlands and I would drive there just to eat the buffet. The fish was cooked just right.

I used to think that all Hearz buffets were the same as far as price wise, but this particular one is charges only $9 on the weekdays and comes with a drink. If you come here on the weekends it's $8 drink included and the ingredients always seem to be rotated. I could have sworn the hearts by my residence and part of town and then North charge about $11 and it is without drink so that is what kind of caught our attention. All of my co-workers love this place. Parking is more than ample, interior is semi clean come a little outdated but it would do. read more

They advertise falsely. my husband and I went in to order 7 chicken tenders with 2 rolls like the website says and we were told we'd have to pay an extra 2 dollars. They're rude and unprofessional. The restaurant is also very dirty. read more

Google says it closes at 9:30. We came in at 8:30 to unwelcoming looks from the staff. Given their reaction, I asked them what time they closed to make sure. They never said what time, but told us we could only get orders to go, despite there being several people eating in the dining room. We left empty-handed and disappointed.1 read more

IF I COULD GIVE NO STARS I WOULD!This store is disgusting. From the service to the bathrooms absolutely gross. The inside matches the outside, grungy looking. Out of the five young people standing behind the counter laughing and playing one finally asked if he could help us. This is the first time we've ever been to this restaurant and the menu is very overwhelming. There are so many different combos but few actual choices. This particular establishment has an all you can eat buffet. But when we asked about it we were informed that the buffet was closed. At 8:30 it's closed? Even with the sign stating open all day, every day. As frustrating as that was we opted to go ahead and order anyway. Hoping that we would at least be able to enjoy our chicken. Wrong. They pulled all of our food from the bar and dropped it into the fryer to re-heat it. Even all the sides were taken directly from the bar and packaged up. We really should have dropped the bag off at the counter and demanded a refund. I really hope the health department pops in on them too after seeing the manager drape the tongs used to pick up the food over her arm like it was a bracelet. 0/10 do not recommend. And if you have never been inside and only visit the drive thru you may want to pop in and see for yourself before ordering from them again. read more

We usually order from the drive thru. The chicken fried steak combo is a good deal for $5.99. You get chicken fried steak w/ gravy, one side and drink or you can skip the drink and get two sides. You can order from either menu at the drive thru, the Hartz Menu which is mainly chicken or from the Seafood & Burger Menu. read more

If you want good home, cooked food, wholesome food like corn, mashed potatoes, green beans, macaroni and cheese, fried chicken, and this is the place you wanna go. The dinner rolls are on par with Texas roadhouse No . The ambience is old-school. Very old-school like mom and Pops. Kind of restaurant with dinner trays and a Buffay style set up but again you're there for the food and the wholesome food. The service is good because they are always nice at the register no waiters come around because that's not the kind of place it is, but they keep it clean for what it is all in all. I'll probably go this week. read more

Good food, but definitely not for anyone on a diet. The workers are friendly and helpful. Good variety of food choices from chicken to liver to dirty rice to cold salads. read more

The family who owned this place was very nice. We ordered chicken and tenders to go. They made everything fresh for me, because I can be a bit of a diva if it's not fresh! The rolls were a little smaller than other Hartz I've been to but they were soft. I wouldn't recommend the buffet, because it's a buffet (I don't do buffet) and it looked yucky. The chicken tenders are chunky white meat, moist, crunchy and delicious compared to other places. This is the place you go for chicken and rolls, the sides are pretty terrible but it was pretty good. read more

Friendly staff but thats about it. The tea is good. The food taste old. Saw employees cross contaminating. Putting fresh macaroni on old macaroni and mixed it together. I sat in the restraunt durring lunch rush and they were very busy but they kept the same old dryed out peach cobler looked like it was from 8am. read more
