The Mason Jar Cafe

I’ve been on a mission to find a good homemade chicken pot pie and a delicious meatloaf, so I decided to give Mason Jar Café a try. We ordered the meatloaf, chicken pot pie, and burger to sample a bit of everything. Unfortunately, the chicken pot pie had a sour taste — I’m hoping it was from some type of cooking wine and not because it was spoiled — but either way, I couldn’t eat it. The meatloaf and burger were decent, but the real highlights were the sides. The mac and cheese and mashed potatoes were creamy and flavorful, and I also really enjoyed the crispy shoestring fries.

The prices are fair, though there’s an added fee if you pay by card. However, this spot isn’t very kid-friendly — one of the staff members politely asked us to quiet our baby, which made me feel uncomfortable. I ended up packing everything to go and didn’t get to enjoy the meal.

Nice little café with a comprehensive menu. Went for lunch and ordered the mushroom soup, meatloaf sandwich with fries and a grilled cheese with Brussel sprouts. The mushroom soup was very good. Both sandwiches were good as were the sides. The fries were very good, very thin and hot! All the items ordered were also served hot which was very nice. Service was attentive.

I ordered a chicken Caesar salad and an order of truffle fries. The ceasar salad was BAD, grey hard boiled egg, soggy red onions, and the chicken was plastered with pepper. When I try to send it back, the waitress asked me what was wrong with it and I told her that the pepper was overwhelming. She told me next time ask for no seasoning. I explained I do not mind seasoning, but it was just drowned pepper and she responded to me that the seasoning is pepper……. Just pepper. Salt and pepper are foundational seasonings, they don’t add any true flavor like garlic, rosemary, & thyme. They were going to take it back and give me completely unseasoned chicken so I declined having it remade. The truffle fries are covered in oil that taste like it once thought of a truffle, then topped with thick slices of
Unmelted Parmesan cheese. Overall not a good meal. The server is was not friendly, especially when presented with an issue. She didn’t refill my glass, wouldn’t even come over to take my check, she sent someone else. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all, they fundamentally lack flavor and hospitality.

Super cute with large potions

Amazing. The country fried chicken hands down best I’ve ever had. The wrap was good as well. Price point was very reasonable. Can’t say enough good things! Thanks and will return (probably this weekend)

One of my all-time favorite restaurants in Fort Lauderdale! You can always guarantee, exceptional, quality, and service! The food is delicious. My favorite is the chicken fried chicken with gravy and the chicken pot pie. But you can’t go wrong with any of the dishes. Truly outstanding.

Great food for great prices! Had dinner tonight and definitely will return. The fried green tomatoes appetizer was good it does have fresh lump crabmeat on it as well. I had the boneless fried chicken and gravy with mac and cheese and julienne vegetables. Very good! My friend tried the rainbow trout special with cheesy mashed potatoes and spoon corn bread she loved it! They do charge a surcharge for credit cards as well.

They add a surcharge for credit cards.
They were not very busy but did not have enough staff so it took a long time to get our meals. I had a chicken pot pie with asparagus & brussel sprouts. My wife had meat loaf with Julian vegetables & mashed potatoes.
Each of our entries were $21.00 each.
