Food was mediocre. Not bad, just not worth it in my opinion. I prefer other meat and 3's in the area.

Funny story, a couple years ago I asked my tattoo artist (Jason @ Mooncastle!) for food…read morerecommendations in the area and this was the one he seemed most passionate about. I took my mama there that same weekend and the rest is history.. The whole family was hooked. I live out of state, but my mom and son, in Springfield, frequent this place on special days out. They share a birthday, April 9th, and were having a birthday lunch there this afternoon, when I got the idea to call the restaurant to ask if there was any way I could provide a card to cover their lunch, since you pay at the end. I was greeted and helped by the kindest woman, Alicia. She found them, about to leave, and hurried to take my info! She was lovely in the sincerest way. I gave her my phone number if there were any issues. Well, there were, as my lovely mom perused their delightful gift shop area (think Cracker Barrel but better) so long the pre-auth expired and my card declined! LOL HAPPY BIRTHDAY GUYS The girl who called back to get things squared away was just as darling as could be, I'm sorry I didn't get your name, but thank you. Thanks to all of you for your help :) As for the food, my son said: "incredible, as usual." 5 million star experience every time! The meat and 3 concept is a dying art that they have mastered.

Chef's Market Cafe & Takeaway is one of those places that's easy to love and easy to come back to…read more The cafeteria-style setup makes it quick and approachable, but the food is where it really shines. Portions are generous, everything feels fresh and comforting, and it's consistently done well. We've eaten here in person and grabbed it to go on busy nights, and it holds up every time. Our personal favorites are the chicken, pot roast, and meatloaf, all hearty, flavorful, and exactly what you want when you're craving a solid comfort meal. One of the things I love most about this place is that it truly feels like "come as you are." There's no single type of crowd here. You'll see families, business meetings, date nights, people dressed up, people dressed casually, groups of two, groups of four, and even three generations sitting together. It works before or after church, after school, after soccer games, or after work. No judgment, no pressure, just people showing up for great food and a great environment. What really stands out is how respectful and welcoming everyone is. Whether it's a toddler learning to eat, someone needing a little extra space, or a busy group navigating a crowded moment, people are patient, kind, and considerate of one another. The staff and guests alike create an atmosphere that genuinely embodies Southern hospitality. What also makes this place special is how much thought has gone into the overall experience. While you're waiting in line, there are fun and unique extras to browse like recipe books, aprons, and thoughtful items for kids. Nothing feels like filler. It all adds to how warm and homey the space feels for locals and visitors alike. And then there's the dessert area, which deserves its own mention. There's an entire cake station behind a large glass case filled with massive, handmade-from-scratch cakes. You can grab slices, order whole cakes in advance, and even place special holiday dessert orders. It's decadent, impressive, and very hard to walk past without stopping. Even when it's incredibly busy, the team is friendly, efficient, and well organized. Whether dining inside, outside, or picking up food to go, the experience is always smooth and welcoming. Included are a few photos from the first time we ate there in person outside, though we've been back many times since. Shown here are the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy and a roll and the roasted chicken with green beans and rosemary roasted potatoes for reference.

At lunchtime on a Sunday we were able to get a seat with no waiting. That made me a little…read morenervous, especially with the place having a 3 star rating on Yelp. But so many other reviews were positive and my hubby was dying for a burger. Our server was ?Maples? She was kind, fast and brought drink refills with perfect timing, even though she had multiple tables, including a large party of 7 or more. Hubby had the Mojo burger and liked it. My kiddo had a standard burger, she said it was good. Her fries were a little cool. Not cold, but not warm. We also got an order of wings, and loved them. I had thr fried chicken with fried okra and sweet potato fries. The fries were meh, but the okra and chicken were excellent. I would definitely recommend the fried chicken! For dessert we had the peach cobbler and the Presley Parfait. Cobbler was good. The parfait was not my favorite, but if you like like peanut butter you might enjoy it.

We decided to try it again. When this restaurant first opened, it was as good as its other…read morelocations. Then, leadership and personnel very quickly took a nosedive. Written reviews matched our secondary experiences. The service was disjointed, and uncoordinated, and the food, should have never been brought to the table. But the claims of, "Under New Management", offered some hope of reviving the standards that had previously earned their namesakes, reputation and growth. This morning's breakfast experience was an astounding disappointment. Greeted and seated by cordial, pleasant staff, we were a party of 3, occupying only the second table, at 9:15 AM. (That emptiness itself should have been a hint of what was to come.) It took much longer than expected just to get coffee and water. Still longer, to place an order, and nearly half-an-hour for the actual meal service. The quality of the food, was nothing short of astonishingly poor. Most notably, cold. Considering there were only two tables occupied in the entire dining room, the cold servings were the first indication of coordination, communications, process, and standards shortfalls. The food preparation showed the skillsets of a 12 year-old, trying to mimic Mom's kitchen routine. How can a restaurant cook not do toast? It was white bread, with a slightly stiff outer layer. Most people would describe it as, "stale bread"; not toast. The pancakes served with the "Lieper's Fork Favorite", were beyond belief. Three hard little discs, served cold, with chilled hard pats of butter, and NO syrup. I actually demonstrated to the very nice server, that the pancakes could NOT be cut with a fork. Again - could NOT be cut with a fork! Come on... They're PANCAKES! Not a single bite could be sampled, without the utility of a knife. I am not a small person. I tried three places around the brown discs to acquire a bite. Țhe effort was foreboding enough. Ì surrendered. The scrambled eggs and bacon were edible, though lacking temperature, and uncaring presentation. When the server saw that the pancakes were as fork resistant as a Frisbee, she took the plate to the kitchen manager. He was a nice, apologetic young man, who acknowledged that the pancakes were "Overcooked on one side..." He did offer to make more. I declined. I told him I sincerely appreciated his offer. But the issue was much deeper, than plastic pancakes. As indicated by the lack of clientele in a fairly large restaurant, there was a blinding flash of the obvious. They were squandering the owner's investment. The kitchen staff lacked the skillsets to produce the simplest traditional American Breakfast - and - the wisdom to refrain from placing it up for service. The plating looked SO incredibly bad, that it was obvious that both standards and personal pride were totally absent. The staff was nice. Ignorance is curable. Training, processes, and well established standards can develop nice people into effective business associates. It's not their fault. They have NO leadership directions. The owners have let them down. Țhose owners have had ample signals and time to cure these maladies. They have a model, in their other facilities - that's how / why they opened more than one restaurant. But those owners are apparently oblivious to the signals of absentee management, process inconsistency, and the gross lack of product standards, leading to failure. To those nice people working at Puckett's, I have a sincere recommendation. The best time to find a job, is when you already have one. Your current employer is going to fail; sooner rather than later. They will surely continue with their communications shortfalls. They will not tell you in advance. They will simply let you go when they finally lock the doors. Take care of yourself. FInd an employer who has a distinct business survival plan. Such plans, include coordination, process leadership, training, and holding a team accountable to perform to the standards they were trained to. You're not getting that.

I made a 6ish reservation on a Friday on a whim and honestly, this is the move if you don't feel…read morelike dealing with downtown traffic. Parking was easy, and City Hall is right across the street if needed. The space is really cute, corner location, bright and airy inside. Not super upscale, but it doesn't need to be. Prices felt fair. Service was on point. Our waitress, Anna, was friendly and attentive without hovering. Food wise, we started with oysters and shrimp in garlic sauce. Both were solid, but that shrimp...phenomenal. Try that! We also had gimlets, and just know they are strong, which we appreciated. The steak was cooked perfectly, nice and tender, but had a slight sweetness that wasn't really my thing. Still good, just not my favorite flavor profile. Only downside was we were hoping for live piano jazz and the musician didn't show. That was a bit of a letdown. Grabbed a red velvet cheesecake to go and it was rich, decadent, and worth it. Overall, really good experience and I'd come back.

The food was good, and I'll give them that, but the service was terrible overall…read more Before ordering, the four of us decided to start with the hummus and asked for extra bread. The extra bread never came when it should have, and when it finally did, they brought only two tiny slices and told us the kitchen was backed up. At that point, they honestly should not have brought it at all. The rest of the bread didn't arrive until we were already halfway through our entrees. I had also asked for balsamic vinaigrette and olive oil to go with the extra bread we were expecting. The waiter came back and said they had neither olive oil nor balsamic vinegar, but that he had brought me a different oil instead. He never explained what it was. I put it on the bread, and it turned out to be extremely spicy and completely ruined my palate. On top of that, when we first arrived, I asked the host to let our waiter know that I wanted a dessert at the end of dinner with "Congratulations on your engagement" written on the plate. She said it would be possible. But when dessert came, instead of doing what I had specifically requested, the waiter just said, "Congratulations on your engagement." It was disappointing, especially since they had already said they could do it. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but the service was disorganized, inattentive, and disappointing enough that it overshadowed the whole experience.

I'm so happy to say the old Cracker Barrel is BACK!…read more I've been going to Cracker Barrel my whole life- it's always been one of my favorite restaurants. During COVID, like a lot of places, the service and consistency just weren't the same, so I stopped going as often. But over the past 6-12 months, I've started coming back more regularly, and wow- what a difference. Every visit has been consistent, the food comes out quickly, and everything is delicious. But what really stands out is the service. Debi and Lindsay are absolutely amazing. We always ask for Debi because she's so kind, quick, and just someone you genuinely enjoy interacting with. As for Lindsay- my 3-year-old daughter spilled her milk all over the floor, and even though she wasn't our server, she immediately stepped in. She got down on the floor, cleaned up the mess, and even helped clean up my daughter. She was incredibly kind! That level of care and attentiveness is rare and so appreciated. The customer service here is truly top-notch. This is only my second time ever leaving a Yelp review, but I had to for this location. They are awesome!

Wow... I can't believe what I just experienced. I went into Cracker Barrel for the first time ever…read moreand I ordered their chicken with rice , side of corn and cornbread, side of fries , a peach cobbler and some biscuits... I hate to be so harsh but the rice tasted like cardboard... and the chicken had no flavor whatsoever just a tiny bit since it was DRENCHED in gravy.. the corn tasted like literally nothing somehow and the cornbread tasted very bland with hint of something strange.. the biscuits although looked done had a raw dough taste. The fries were decent along with the cobbler nothing super outstanding.. The wait time was horrible... they brought out my food 50 mins later and informed me they were out of something I wanted and that I would have to wait another 25-30 mins to receive it... Super busy inside but there was lots of seating. They have a nice gift shop when you enter I just skimmed so I'm not exactly super how pricey things are but it was cute. Unfortunately I will not be returning to this location.
