We came through town one year ago and happened upon the Mason Jar Cafe. We are returning this weekend, and this restaurant is definitely on the list of places to eat while there! We had the brisket and the chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and collard greens. Everything tasted homemade and delicious. Really good food. The Christmas tree and decorations, and mason jar candles on the tables, were all so charming. The owner stopped to talk to us and made us feel very welcome and the waitstaff was efficient and friendly. This is a great place, charming, cozy and really good comfort food.

The food was delicious. I had the chicken salad with fruit plate and my hubbie had the Shepard's Pie. Both were fabulous! The service was good and the surroundings were cozy. Maria seems to love her customers and treats them like family.

Out of 6 different dishes our party got, 3 were the best I’ve ever had. The owners are some of the nicest people ive ever met. We live in Raleigh but we’d eat here every day if we lived in the area. This place is amazing..GET THE BRISKET!!
