Jones Creek Cafe & Oyster Bar

We found there are three main sitting areas at The Jones Creek Cafe and the atmosphere differs by the area. The main dining room is nice, the bar area is a lot more lively and outdoors is more private. Our food was good and our sever was very friendly and attentive. A nice local restaurant.

The food was TERRIBLE. The stuffed mushrooms had rancid crab on it that it was gag inducing.
The grilled tilapia was drowning in “lemon butter” that had way too much lemon.
The buffalo wings were over cooked and leathery
The shrimp Alfredo was under cooked with hard noodles.
Side salads were sad salads, with cheap ice berg lettuce that was brown
The seafood platter was all flavorless imported fish, shrimp and crawfish tails.
The fried pecan encrusted tilapia was flavorless and unseasoned.
The ONLY thing edible was the hush puppies.
Then when we were only a party of 5, when we were overheard complaining amongst ourselves one how bad the food was (and no we did not send anything back) they added a 20% gratuity to our check bringing our meal total to $175 for inedible trash.
I have NEVER been some place that adds gratuity to a single check when there are 5 people. Only large groups over 6 or split checks. The next day all of us who ate the mushrooms were sick.
I don’t know how they have such a high rating on google. Their yelp rating is far more accurate.
Years ago before covid Jones Creek was one of my favorite restaurants and we should have known it was no longer good when at 7pm on Friday night there was no wait to get a seat and the parking lot was barely full. I fail to see how they stay open at all.
They had better improve food quality.

I visited Jones Creek Cafe yesterday (Sunday approximately 12:30 pm) with my wife, daughter and two grandchildren. Waitress was nice but was slow to attend our table, we were never offered drink refills. We waited at least 20 minutes after were were finished eating before we got our check after having to ask for it. Later found out they were understaffed so not entirely her fault but I still hold the restaurant responsible. I found it odd we had to ask for salt and pepper. None of the tables had any on them, nor the other normal items like sugar, hot sauce, etc.

My wife and I split a soft shell crab po-boy and an order of onion rings. Upon ordering the waitress was told we were going to split the po-boy and it came out on one platter. We asked for an additional plate and waited almost 10 minutes to get it, all the while our food getting cold. I cannot believe they charged $7.99 for 6 onion rings. They used to be piled high on the platter! In addition, the onions used were from the curved end of the onion making them at least an inch wide. I have history making onion rings and those pieces should be put aside for chopping and not used for rings. Someone didn't care. Also, the onion rings used to be battered better and were more crispy. The legs of the soft-shell crab was very hard and not able to be chewed. My daughter didn't like her cheese grits and the hushpuppies were very dense and lacked flavor. It appears Jones Creek Cafe has diminished significantly the last couple of years. It used to have great service and great food. My wife recalled how our previous experience there was not very good either. Before doing this review I tried to pull up their website and the domain expired. Maybe they don't plan to continue with the restaurant much longer, I don't know, but I doubt we will be back after witnessing a steady decline. There was plenty of seating available where normally places will be packed for the after-church crowd. Evidently, others have noticed the decline too.
