Jonathan's BBQ Seafood Soul food Cajun Creole

My first and more than likely the last time coming.
We were instructed to place and pay for order on the computer one of three in the restaurant, had to wait in line.
The computer didn’t show the full menu for some reason, so we opted for the buffet, it was all you can eat.
As for meat options: chicken wings, catfish strips and crawfish.
Both chicken and fish had a good crunch and okay in taste.
Veggies: smoked collard greens ( too much vinegar and not a good taste) smoked greens beans ( canned and not good) fried corn also not good and candied sweet potatoes which were surprisingly good but they weren’t peeled.
There were two kinds of soup available, potato and tomato basil ( that was horrible) dessert: mini cinnamon rolls.
Very disappointing to say the least.
Now looking at the menu that was on the table it was different from the computer.
The price for the seafood boil I thought was too high.
My husband got the rib dinner to try, The ribs appeared to be meaty but tasted like they had been boiled before being smoked.
The restaurant does have live music ( not tonight).
I thought it was too dark on the inside, sticky floors and our table top wasn’t secured ( it moved some).

I had the two meat combo.
Ribs and pork sausage! The ribs were amazing! Meat falling off the bone! I had the smoked greens as weak which were wonderfully seasoned! The entire staff was very friendly and we got to meet the owner! We will definitely come back to try the buffet! They buffet that starts at 5pm.

We enjoyed the food.
We did the buffet.
Probably won't take that route again.
$25 per person.
Small selection.
3 meats, 3 vegetables, 2 salad choices.
The next time we'll try the menu. The "live" music left a little to be desired.
An older man singing stuff from the 90s in a sort of Perry Como style to recorded back ground music and vocals.
He DID play the flute and saxophone well though.
Juke box or nothing would have felt less awkward. The place looked a little worn down but clean. I'll go back at least one more time and see if we like the menu selection better. The coleslaw and the greens were killer. You place your order from a kiosk.
I could see if they were very busy how that could really hold up the line.
I personally would prefer a waitress.
