Hard to call it a “sea food” buffet when all they have is shrimp and crab cakes. The shrimp was dry and very hard to peel, the cat fish had a weird texture, the hushpuppies were burned and dry, and the Mac and cheese had no flavor at all. No where near worth the $80 we paid for my husband and I to eat.

The only thing that kept this from being absolutely terrible was our server. She was awesome! There were 4 of us and we all had the buffet. It was expensive and not worth it. The fried catfsh was mealy. Nothing really had flavor. Even the hushpuppies were a disappointment. The shrimp were tiny and difficult to peel. None of us finished what was on our plate. We went back for seconds to try and find something we liked but we struck out. Even dessert was bad. The ice cream wasn't frozen. The butter pecan cake tasted like a mix. The cobbler was just pure sugar. We were so disappointed.

Our last two times eating there the service was horrible. Both times we had the same waitress. We had to ask others not working out table for assistance or to even get our drinks after we had been already eating for awhile. Finally a wonderful waitress we stopped to ask helped us out more than once then checked on us ever extra chance she got. We now know we can request a waitress so we will choose her or anyone other than the one we had the last two times. Food was decent and establishment was clean.

Parking: Never an issue.

Kid-friendliness: Yes.

No oysters on half shell, should list on website. Mac and cheese tastes like out the box, mash potatoes too. Boild shrimp was yesterday's, could not even get shell off. Dispectible cleanliness, food left floor. NONE of the items on the buffet line are labeled. You have been in business since 1960, you should know better, shame on you.

On 5/11/24, My husband took me out tħo eat for Mother’s Day. Mack’s was very busy when we arrived, but we were promptly seated. Our waitress Christy was basically at our table introducing herself as our waitress and asking what our drink order. We thought that with as many people that were there our food would take a while, but our food arrived in a timely manner. The food arrived HOT and most of all DELICIOUS!!!!! My husband and I have ate a lot of seafood in our life. But it was well worth the drive to Harrisburg. And the cost of the food was very reasonable!!! It is worth the drive to Hattiesburg. And when you get there as for Christy as your waitress. She is the sweetest. She is very attentive.

Everything was really good. The food is fresh and a good variety, good for young folks and old folks, not a lot of spices, but still good

I placed a pick up order, which I’ve done once before. This time, who seemed like a teenager came out with just tartar sauce and took my credit card. She came back later with my meal. It was extra greasy, my catfis was fried too hard, the oysters were justcrumbs, and popcorn shrimp only. I want order to go again.
