What a great little restaurant! A true class act without the snobbishness. Fantastic service and superior food and plenty of it. I've been here with 2 others to a party of 13 same great service
I wanted there to be a current review of this little bistro restaurant. All the earlier positive reviews are accurate, the negative ones are not. Very reasonable, around $20-24 pp for a full meal. Tax and tip extra. Do not miss the tomato soup, rich and delicious with a surprising garnish of bacon and mild blue cheese. The chicken pot pie is one you've never seen before, as shown below. The shoestring pommes frites are addictive. Great comfort food, and great service. Take your time and have a great dinner!
Been going there for a few years now and been very satisfied each time. I try to pick the specials as they are always great and the staff will change the specials to a salad or sandwich upon request. Love the French onion soup, the fried chicken sandwich, Shrimp sandwich, turkey sandwich, the string french fries and much more. My wife loves the salads (chicken salad). I've taken over 20 guests to Mason Jar and they all love it.
The new location is very nice and the staff is great as always.
If you want a american comfort food this is the place - great food, great staff, great owners.
Nice night out. Two couples enjoyed fried green tomatoes (with crab -- interesting), duck, salmon, soup and more in the very cozy atmosphere. Tables are close together but it works. Staff very knowledgeable and friendly.

Made my day. I usually visit Fort Lauderdale every few months for maintenance of my bike. I was walking around looking for lunch having quality food. I found it, indeed! The passion they took in just the tea was apparent. They sweeten ever so gently and present it in a clear handled-jar. You can tell it was homemade. My first course was their daily soup, turkey and corn. The soup was chunky , flavorful, and presented on a white, classic cup having character. The soup had wonderful colors and vibrant flavors while the turkey was tender and the corn sweet. Other vegetables were found adding to the depth of the soup. My main course consisted of the shirt rib sandwich. The first bite told my brain I could only finish half the sandwich due to its richness. The sandwich included caramelized onions and Serrano pepper mayo on a kaiser roll. Every bite was delicious and rich. a table next to me ordered one to share! My choice of side included brussel sprouts leaves with pistachios. The sweetness from steaming the sprouts ten sautéing it in butter I presume worked very well in making every leaf earthy, sweet and nutty. I paced myself and eventually finished my meal. Service was exceptional as my main server and his teammate ensured I enjoyed the food, my drink was tipped off, and I was comfortable. I'd definitely be back and wouldn't mind exploring dinner.
Very Impressed. I recently visited the Mason Jar for the first time. I saw their review and decided to check it out with friends of mine. Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted by a very friendly host who seated us at a nice table for four near the window. We tried different things so we could taste each others entrees. We had the Duck, which was wonderful, crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Our favorite out of the four we tried however, was the Ernestos Stew, a delightful mixture of Mussels, Shrimp and Mahi in a spicy tomato broth served with 3 pieces of Crostini for dipping. We finished with the dessert Sampler platter which gave us a taste of three of their signature desserts, lemon delight, strawberry chocolate pie and a flourless chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. It was a very nice experience from the minute we walked in the door. The service was great, the food was great. We will go back! Nice job Mason Jar
Happening Place in Ft Lauderdale. In town visiting and was told about a write up in the local paper - 4 stars. Must've been true because the place was hoppin. Took a little while to get a table because it was so busy, but the food was sensational. It was a great find and we will be coming back the next time we are in town! The best experience of our entire visit to Fort Lauderdale so far!
Good as always. Thanks to the team at Mason Jar for a truly excellant dinner. The bacon tomato bisque is to die for. The brussels sprouts side have made me consider them to be an edible food but I still don't trust myself to cook them so will have to keep coming here.
Incredible food, but very slow service!
Ted. Great Food, great service, southern home cooking, mac and cheese, green bean casssarole,roasted duck, chicken fried steak it's all great!
This past Thursday I hosted a large gathering of 39 people for dinner at The Mason Jar. I have to admit I was a bit concerned with so many people in such a small space but it worked wonderfully. The staff did a superior job of serving and the food was beyond description. Every dish was prepared exquisitely and the flavors were beyond expectation. Not one complaint from the picky eaters in this group. Thank you for a wonderful evening and food that was so delicious. We will return soon.
We enjoyed a lovely lunch at the Mason Jar. The ambiance was welcoming. Our servers were friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious. We enjoyed the white beans & kale soup and onion soup as well as sharing the fries green tomatoes. The fries that came with our lobster roll sandwiches and crab cake sandwich were so yummy. We shared delicious key lime pie for dessert.
The Mason Jar Cafe is our go to place for good home style cooking. We have never had a bad anything. The service staff is excellent and caring even when the place is packed.
The atmosphere is comfortable and homey -- nothing fancy just easy comfort. The staff is always welcoming.
If you have been craving that good old fashioned meatloaf, a solid hamburger, a crab burger, salmon, fantastic fries, wonderful brussel sprouts, spoon bread, and even one of the best baked onion soups in Fort Lauderdale than you must come to The Mason Jar Cafe.
Great place all around! The service is fantastic, the food is AMAZING. Everyone in there is so sweet, you can tell they really love what they do. So happy I found them, this is my go-to lunch spot. 1000/10 would recommend! P.S if you like Mac n cheese you NEED to try theirs. You won’t be disappointed!
If you want to feel like you’re eating a home cooked meal, this is the place to come to. Everything was fresh and delicious. I have no complaints at all. The staff were extremely inviting and friendly which always makes your dining experience even better. Definitely a spot that I will come back to.

Blessed with thousands of wonderfully diverse restaurants in our tri-county region, and most of them have infused multi-ethnic items on their menus, the Jar (Mason Jar Café) is probably one the very few restaurants that provides an almost entire menu of good ol’ Americana comfort food. Mind you that all these foods that are now considered Americana were ingrained in our American culture by our forefathers who settled here from other continents when they homesteaded the lands hundreds of years past and we made them our own.
The appeal of the Jar [Café] is non-pretentious, projecting a simple décor that is borrowed from a meld of old downtown diners and old European cafés, even the top veneered layer of the laminate-wood floor is scraped off from the back-and-forth pulling of the tables’ wooden chairs and from the most friendly and cheerful lady servers (somehow, most servers at the Jar have been there since get-go. That’s a testimonial that they must all be happy to work there) . And all that is the ole quaint charm of the Jar.
I’ve been going there since they opened back in the early 2000 in the building right behind the location they are in now. Though they have a couple of new daily chef specials, they retained the same original down-home comfort food menu over the years—and that is why I keep going there again and again because, to me, their food seem to taste better and better each time I go. For lunch they offer delicious soups, sandwiches, and my favorite lunch item is a colorful Waldorf-salad salad. Dinner offers a variety of starters like French Onion Soup that laughs at Cordon Blue chefs, fried pickles or fried green tomatoes for appetizers to the sound of a rapid fiddle, the best chicken pot pie ever served in a restaurant, crisp country fried chicken to make you exclaim “Hot damn!”, meatloaf to die for, a double bone-in thick cut pork chop topped with a cherry sauce that will make you hate any other cooked-style pork chops, slow cooked beef short ribs that are so tender and slip right off the bone when you fork into it, and an array of other regalicious (I made this word) comfort delights. They are open for lunch and dinner - beer and wine only – reservations preferred.
About a couple of years ago, they opened a Mason Jar Pub at 1388 E. Oakland Park BL, Ft Laud. The menu and atmosphere have an entirely different vibe, but the food is very good. Personally, I don’t care for the atmosphere because they call it a “pub” but it definitely does not have a beer-pub hangout feel. They are also open for lunch and dinner, beer and wine, and no reservations necessary.

Went to the Mason Jar because someone recommended it to me. Boy were they right. Quaint little place with a nice menu with a bit of everything on it. I had the pork chop with a cherry glaze, sweet potato mash and asparagus. Excellent! Tender and very favorable. My wife enjoyed a nice looking beet salad. We also shared the crab bite appetizer. Very delicious with the spicy sauce. Reasonably priced and excellent wait staff. Can't wait to go again and try another dish.
The food was fresh, ample, and delicious. Superb service. We were able to sit and enjoy a leisurely lunch without being rushed. I had the short rib sandwich. There was plenty of meat and onions on the bread. You didn't need to go searching for the filling. It's very tasty, too. I'm looking forward to trying the onion soup next trip.
*GREAT VALUE - AMAZING FOOD - AWESOME STAFF* This place is in the middle of a cute shopping center. We ordered the meatloaf and chicken pot pie and holy moly were the portions LARGE! You literally get a whole chicken pot pie and what looks like half a loaf of meatloaf. WOW! The food came out hot and fresh and tasted delicious. The menu has various options to choose from and 2 sides come with a entree and they are also large. What a 💎GEM, i'm glad we stumbled upon The Mason Jar Cafe.
