A lifelong Texan here so chicken fried steak and gravy can make or break a place. Without a doubt, best I have ever had. Not over seasoned,not greasy, just enough crunch and the meat was an actual tenderized cube steak. The salad bar was fresh and had good choices. The buffet had many meats, entrées and vegetables to choose from. The service was top notch, fast and on point. They serve breakfast all day with plenty to choose from there too. AND.... one of my big pet peeves is restaurants that buy pre grated cheese. At Johnny's, they grate their own cheese which was yummy. We will definitely stop there everytime we are driving through Clifton, TX.

OMG! We ate waaaaay too much!!!…read more Came here to celebrate my husband's birthday. There were 7 of us but ordered for 14!! What were we thinking ??? So, all main entrees were quite good: ribs and brisket were incredibly tender, catfish was nice and crisp, chicken fell off the bone, and the chicken fried chicken was delicious. We also ordered the steak fingers as an appetizer. They tasted good but should have been crispier. Had the sampler which consisted of fried pickle spears (highly recommend) fried mushrooms (honestly tasted like they came pre-packaged and corn nuggets (also quite good). Sides were what took this review to a 4 star: Mac and cheese (way too dry), coleslaw (have had better) and the green beans ( too mushy- definitely canned beans) were nothing to brag about. Our waitperson, Barbara, was quite entertaining and I must add that she was quite efficient. She's apparently worked for the owner for 22 years (of and on). The owner was at the restaurant and made it a point to ask if we enjoyed our meals. Nice touch. We ended our experience with their desserts, all made by the co-owner. EVERY.SINGLE.DESSERT.WAS.DELICIOUS.PERIOD! In a nutshell, we enjoyed our Texas sized lunch at J&M Hill Country BBQ.

We opted for the buffet and there was plenty of food to select from. Loved the Egg Rolls being they are very hard to find now a days. All of the Chicken and shrimp fried rice was excellent. Loved the fish and the fresh shrimp to peel. Only down side was that they did not have Low-Sodium Soy Sauce. There were 8 of us and did not hear any one complain about any of the meal at the table. Out waitress was excellent and kept the table clean as we went up for more courses and drinks were kept full. They only serve Pepsi products and do not have Zero Sugar Pepsi.

It comes with catfish but they let you choose your fish if you want something different! It comes with 2 sides so I got fries and fried okra. The fried okra was the star of that show for me! Also, I switched out the catfish for Blue Whiting. Everything was well seasoned and delish. My husband ordered the Blue Whiting platter which was 2 whiting filets and a side. He considered getting the etouffee so while we ate she brought out a small taste of it for us to sample for next time. (And there will be a next time!) The girl at the counter (owner??) is SO STINKIN NICE! My gosh, talk about great with customers! (Cutie with fun glasses.)

Besides the not so warm welcome. I love the variety of Asian & Seafood that they have. I had sweet sour chicken, Mongolian pork, prawn, fried shrimp, coconut shrimp, crab, lo mein and rice. Some of the food was great and some of the food was not so great. What made some of the food unsatisfying is that it wasn't fresh. A lot of meats, specifically the chicken were stale/stiff and dry. For a first impression, I feel like it could be better.
