Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

I used to be here and could take it or leave it, but the other night I was thrilled with my dinner. The boiled roast beef was tender. I wish they had the choice to update for a few dollars and get even more beef, it was so good. The green beans I chose as one side were perfectly seasoned. The Mac/Käse was my 2nd side and it was really good to stick nice consistency instead of together. I definitely go back. The store has beautiful cards and unique gifts. I can spend a liter of time running around the store.

Slammed.... and still a simple online pickup order. A few minutes later than the estimated time, but no problem. I would definitely use this place again if in the area. It was easy. But... I didn't like being profiled as a thief, or something like that by walking and walking on the shelf. This prompted a manager to come out and stand there and look at me as if I was going to get food and run out. I just don't know that the procedure, there is no sign, and nobody offers to help.

I want to give a huge virtual hug to the manager Elizabeth, Server Hailey and all at Cracker Barrel in Marion, IL, who was 9/24/2022 successful. This was my first time to visit this special restaurant. I invited a very dear friend/kitchen member (I call her Aunt Yo) for dinner and she asked to eat in the cracker barrel. Aunt Yo is a warm and generous woman who volunteers with the Alzheimer's Association in honor of her deceased mother (Mary F. Johnson) and does a number of other things in the community. When I learned that she would speak today at an event for Alzheimer's and it would also be 103. Being her mother's birthday, I wanted to make sure that Aunt Yo was not alone and would feel loved and appreciated. I called Cracker Barrel and spoke to Manager Elizabeth who was immediately ready to help me make sure Aunt Yo felt special and could also celebrate her mother's birthday today, lovingly known annually as “MFJ Day” by Aunt Yo's family. When we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the hostess and immediately sat. Our server, Hailey, was super friendly and made sure that our order was perfect. Both meals were delicious and we had a lot to bring home. Aunt Yo and I enjoyed our dinner and the delicious chocolate cake we were treated in honor of the MFJ Day. On the trip home and in a text message a little later repeated Auntie Yo, how much she really enjoyed in the evening. I really appreciate a restaurant team that will celebrate the life of a loved one. No matter how old you are, you're always someone's child. Happy 103rd MFJ Day! If you are ever in Marion, IL, I highly recommend that you eat from cracker barrel for a bite and stop a little shopping. You also have options. Tell them Kindra Speech sent you.

Excellent service and delicious food. We are glad we stopped at this Cracker Barrel in Marion, Il on our way to visit Chip and Joanne Gaines in Waco…. Via Memphis.

We had a large group and our server did a really good job, but it took over an hour to get our food. The food was hot and very good. The store front staff were friendly and professional. The people turned a three star rating to a four star.

Cracker Barrel is a family favorite of ours! It’s a place that all 5 of us find something we like whether it’s breakfast or dinner food. We usually go here on Sundays after church and wait maybe 15 minutes at the most. The food normally comes quickly. There seems to be a large turn over with waiters. Every time we go the waiter says they’re new. We’ve had a few problems with not getting what we ordered but they’re always quick to fix it and everything is fine.

Servers were nice and professional. Kitchen took WAY to long. People were seated after me, were served, ate, paid for meal and left before my plate came out. Manager did rectify without me asking. So kudos to manager and servers.
