Auntie Yo and I celebrating the 103rd MFJ Day together at Cracker Barrel in Marion, IL.
Kindra S.

I would like to give a huge virtual hug to Manager Elizabeth, Server Hailey, and everyone at Cracker Barrel in Marion, IL that made 9/24/2022 successful. This was my first time visiting this particular restaurant. I invited a very dear friend/church member (I call her Auntie Yo) to dinner and she asked to eat at Cracker Barrel. Auntie Yo is a warm and generous woman who volunteers with Alzheimer's Association in honor of her late mother (Mary F. Johnson) and does a number of other things in the community. When I learned that today she would be speaking at an event for Alzheimer's and it would have also been her mother's 103rd birthday, I wanted to make sure Auntie Yo was not alone and would feel loved and appreciated. I called Cracker Barrel and spoke to Manager Elizabeth who was immediately willing to help me make sure Auntie Yo felt special and could also celebrate the birthday of her mother today, affectionately known annually as "MFJ Day" by Auntie Yo's family. When we arrived, we were greeted warmly by the hostess and seated immediately. Our server, Hailey, was super friendly and made sure that our order was perfect. Both of our meals were delicious and we had plenty to bring home. Auntie Yo and I enjoyed our dinner and the delicious chocolate cake we were treated to in honor of MFJ Day. On the drive home and in a text message a little later, Auntie Yo repeated how much she really enjoyed the evening. I can really appreciate a restaurant team that will help celebrate the life of a loved one. No matter how old you are, you are always somebody's child. Happy 103rd MFJ Day! If you are ever in Marion, IL, I highly recommend that you stop by Cracker Barrel for a bite to eat and a little shopping. They have takeout options too. Tell them Kindra Speech sent ya.

I had chicken and dumplings with mashed potatoes that tasted terrible and my "side" of apples.

We waited half an hour to get food and when we got it was cold. Overall I will not be going back to a Cracker Barrel again.

I was interested in trying their baked treats, and upon my visit, I found exactly what I wanted to get. The menu variety was good. They offer cookies, pastries, breakfast meals, lunch meals like sandwiches, etc. The pricing was reasonable. I got a Pink Cookie (Southern IL specialty), a Chocolate Chunk Walnut cookie, a Date Walnut cookie, something called an Orange Chipper (a type of cookie), as well as an Italian sandwich (called Bakery Sub on the menu). The Date Walnut cookie was my top favorite. It was soft and also crunchy where the walnuts were. The Orange Chipper was my next favorite, followed by the Pink Cookie (iced frosting shortbread cookie). The sandwich was loaded and had a good flavor. The deli meats (ham, and salami) were fresh. The service was good. This was a gem of a find for me and I would go back there again when visiting Carbondale. Definitely recommended.

A group of us recently went there and the staff was less than friendly. Very poor customer service…read more They seemed annoyed to be serving us. The drinks were also very watered down. No manners when serving drinks and seemed to have an attitude. The restaurant had a nice vibe, but sadly I would not return here due to the poor service and quality of the drinks.

My favorite was the crimson eclipse. Food- 3/5. We ordered some appetizers and they were a little disappointing/did not match the description of the menu. The margarita pizza was a little spicy. Fruit and cheese plate had some nice jam, but the presentation was off. Crab cakes were small. Also, the menu on their website was slightly outdated. I would still recommend this location as it's very classy, great for groups, and plenty of parking. Service was excellent. Indoor and outdoor seating.

For a cocktail or bottle of wine Id guess they meet expectation. The food menu is very limited. The…read morefood was mid to low quality. We ordered appetizers a calzone ( burnt in on end, blackened on the bottom -bitter tasting) and a sandwich ( warm, chips oily and soggy). It seems like there are only 2-3 staff working on a graduation / Mother's Day weekend ???? Service was slow but these folks were clearly overwhelmed. They were polite and apologetic for the food preparation time. There were very few folks there so they weren't slammed busy and overwhelmed, just overwhelmed. We likely won't be back. $325 Dinner and drinks bill and any chain place with mid quality drinks and food ( Chilis, Applebee's, Cheddars, ) would be 1/2 the cost and clearly better. An upscale place ( Flame, Texas Roadhouse, Outback) would be a way bether choice for comparable money. The Venue is stunning and looks clean. Hopefully they get it together, or get someone in the space who can. Disappointed at best.
