Hey, again, faithful review readers!…read more So, today, we are dining at Alamo Steak House here in Mattoon, IL. We live in a small town area and this is definitely a local favorite for many in the area, us included. This is to say that the experience, the food and drink is consistently very well done. As we pulled up, the parking lot was JAMMED! It was so crowded there was only about two spots available. Wifey told me to check the wait time. So, we went in. No wait!!! It appears that everyone drove separately. The hostess was very pleasant. We had her switch our table because we like the tables vs. the booth. Today we sat in the upstairs balcony. We've sat here once before a few years ago. Pleasant. More cozy than the common dining room. Our server was very prompt, and since we come here enough, we knew what we wanted. I got the smothered chicken with a sidecar porkchop (just because I can). Sides of House Salad and Onion Rings. Wifey ordered the distiller, baked potato and a salad. For the first time ever, the dinner rolls at the table were actually overdone. It's usually crisp outside and soft inside, but this was actually way too hard. Wifey likes things well done and she said this is just not edible. This could have been easily remedied, but we did not want more so we left it be. But this was the first time this has ever been an issue in 13 years. Salads came out first. I had ordered a house salad with blue cheese but got a Caesar salad. Lots of Parmesan, good presentation. I decided I was meant to have a Caesar salad and was glad this mix up occurred. Wifey had a house salad and it was good, but she was eyeing up my Caesar with those thieving eyes! So we will call it a happy accident! Shlafly's makes a competent stout, a little hoppier than you'd expect from a stout, a little spritzier than you're used to in a stout, but I knew this going in. It's a solid brew, but not creamy like most stouts. Wifey's raspberry margarita was, good, according to her, but a little sweet. She squeezed in some lemon and lime and that helped add more tart which pleased her. She does not usually get non citrus based Margaritas, so she chalked it up to that. Again, the drink was still good, just not her favorite. A little long in the main course delivery, but, wifey had a medium well steak and that takes some time. However, it seems to be taking much longer than expected... The food DID show up, just before it became a seriously long wait. My food: Most things were not quite hot enough. All the flavors were great, but, it feels like the food was under a heat lamp that didn't work for too long, or maybe not under it for too long of a time.. At a steakhouse as "high quality" as this one, I expected better. Since our server was uber busy, we didn't voice our complaint. He was truly running hard up and down the stairs so we have no complaints with his service. But we are both disappointed that it was very not hot. And we were hungry, and the flavors were good, so we chose to eat it as is. Wifey said all the flavors of her steak and potato were on point but admittedly the not hot part took its toll on the overall. We are sad to report all of these very unusual mishaps but we really still swear by the place for the great food and for the many, many experiences that were consistently on point. We also know if we would have complained or asked it would have been fixed no holds barred. But it was pretty busy and we did not want to wait. So if one experience out of maybe 50 was a bit sub par, we are still going to consider it a winner and well worth looking past. It just seems everything happened at once. So hopefully we are all good for another 50 visits!

Yes, Cracker Barrel tolerates RVers using their parking lot for overnight parking with the polite request that you make a purchase. It's not required but it's a nice thing to do. What is required is to be respectful of the space - no camping, no noise and no litter. I had a peaceful night's sleep and was gone well before they opened. Perfect for me and I owe you one, CB!

Not a terrible problem, but noticed. Then, wifey asked for napkins. They took a wiggle to get here. I asked for my Yuengling Lager and water. The water didn't show up. Then, Oldest and I ordered bowls of chili. Hers was a bowl, mine was a cup. I guts the server didn't hear one of us correctly. It was steady, but not much of a wait, so, pressure should have been not too bad. Things got better. But, one entree came out about 10 minutes after the rest. Timing. It's a thing. The Loaded Mac & Cheese was good. The chili was decent (but small and missing spices). The rest my party loves TRH. I've never been a fan, so when one came locally, I knew I'd be here often. And, since you obviously follow me extensively on Yelp, you know my usual disclaimer that chains are mostly about service and execution. There were rough spots in the start and then we had a bit of recovery. Of course the check was wrong in the chili cup/bowl problem. But, overall, it was ok. The food was executed properly, except one entree being ten minutes after the rest wasn't great, but didn't derail it too badly. Wifey's turn: Skip what he said. Even though I was under the weather, the food was great. The steak kebabs never fail to please with a great texture and excellent flavoring/seasoning. Overall, the server did recover the night and it was a good time. We even saw several people there that we knew, workers and friends. Don't let Mr. Sourpuss taint your thoughts (although he wasn't untruthful).

With that being said, last night we went for a girls night and it was not a great experience. It started out strong but slowly went down hill. Our waitress honestly did the best she could. Our food came out in 2 different rounds, 20 minutes apart. She did apologize for that. But again, she did not being us the food, it was runners. Around 6 pm, all of sudden the music was cranked up like we were in a bar. The waitresses could not hear their customers and we couldn't talk. Our waitress apologized saying that one particular manager always does that. I asked to speak to the manager and she was pretty rude to say the least. She told me that it was "company policy to turn the music up 96% at a certain time. We are a sports bar that's how it should be." I just kinda looked at her and explained that I had never been to one that was like that and asked if she could possibly please turn the volume down a little so we don't have to scream at each other. She rolled her eyes and said "I'll see what I can do." The volume did get turned down. Will I go back.... It won't be my first choice.
