Ultimate Nachos with no chili..
Bill P.

They have a hard time making orders here correctly. No chili... but there it is. In the trash it goes.

a woman sitting at a table

Today after a very long time, I decided I wanted to have pancakes for dinner. I went to Cracker Barrel of Elizabethtown, KY. My wait was approximately 40 minutes. As I was escorted to my table, I noticed we walked past Area 1 then Area 2 with empty tables. I was seated in Area 3 of the restaurant. The very back. There was already an elderly couple (Caucasian) seated so I did not think anything of my later observation. I ordered and as I was alone, I took advantage of the time waiting to read a book I had with me. I received my food, no silverware. The waitress I'm sure forgot but I had to eventually get up to find her to let her know I needed silverware. Pancakes by the way were delish! After 30 minutes or so, I noticed I was the only person of color eating in this area (elderly couple left shortly after I was seated). Just prior to receiving my ticket, another black female eating alone was led to Area 3, I'll call it. This is not looking good! I shared my observation with an employee who I thought was a Manager. She was very apologetic and stated they only had one waitress for that area. My reply, "And?" She then stated it was not their intent to seat customers as it appeared to me to be. I replied that their actions definitely contradicted her words. Again, she apologized. I received my ticket and as I walked to the front of the restaurant, there was a line of customers waiting to be seated. Yet, I sat in the back of the restaurant with over a half dozen or more empty tables. I don't know what the intent was behind the actions shown.

Club sandwich, spud max. Chicken gnocchi soup.

Service is typically pretty slow here, but we enjoy the food. Sometimes a soup and sandwich are just what you need. We always go half on a spud max when we eat here. Probably the best part lol.

French dip with Mac n cheese

5 stars! The workers were like family... you could tell they enjoyed being there and being around each other. The food was amazing, served fast and fresh. All the tables were clean so it made finding a seat easy. I heard the manager yell back to the kitchen "great job back there". Great restaurant and great management. We will be back.

There was a very long when we got there on a Sunday . They brought out food very quickly after placing our order with a smile . The freshness and flavors of the food here was amazing! Well worth the wait in line . (I had the steak and white cheddar sandwich and steak Gorgonzola salad) so Good !

Kayla L.

Always good. We showed up today when they opened. Everyone was ready and eager to take our order. Food was delicious. I loveeee their unsweetened tea! I got a chicken salad sandwich and Mac n cheese today

Sad bread bowl
Morgan M.

McAlister's Deli :/ probably shame on me for getting soup? Should have gotten a spud. Don't get a Bread Bowl. The bread is definitely not complimentary to any kind of soup. This was my first time coming to McAlister's aaaand I'm not too impressed. Should've gotten a spud.

My choice: half sandwich and salad.

Passing by Kentucky area on our way home and was craving hot soup, this place came up on my search…read more First impression, place was huge, clean, cute and cozy with ample different types of seating. We had the Phó combination, Cambodian noodles and Banh Mí with Honey milk green tea boba. I tell you, delicious! Delicious! Everything was goood! Very authentic. It was the perfect meal for this chilly weather. The bobas were delish as well, soft right amount of chewiness and adjustable sweetness level. Friendly and quick service. Check them out! Happy tummy!

Great pho and banh mi!…read more The first taste of pho and you know they've nailed it. It's that broth. That's the key to the pho. And this place has it. We went with beef and it did not disappoint. We also shared a Houz Ba Roi banh mi. That roasted pork belly just danced on the taste buds. It almost makes you celebrate the French colonial period. If this came out of it, it couldn't have been all that bad. What a great fusion of the two cultures. Place was super clean and comfortable. The guy at the counter was very helpful. We ordered the banh mi based on his recommendation, and I'm glad we did. I've said it before and I'll say it again...the best pho I've ever had was in Duluth, Minnesota. The best banh mi I've ever had was in a gas station in Metairie, Louisiana. Does this place measure up to those? No, but it's still five star. If I'm in Ellizabethtown, I'm stopping here.

This is my second time having lunch here…read more Today, I was in town for a business lunch. I had the En Fuego Burger and Seasoned Fries. My client had The Newberry Single Burger and Tots. Service was fast and the food was excellent. Next time, I will try to check out their Speakeasy, the Cavern Club.

Sunday, 18 January 2026…read more Met friends at J.R. Neighbors for lunch. According to my friend, the have the best burgers in Etown! ‍ There are a few parking spaces directly in front of the restaurant (maybe 5, with 2-3 slots being reserved for handicap). There are nearby parking lots with plenty more parking. As it was a Sunday, we had no trouble finding parking. There were a few people ahead of us, maybe three different parties. My partner and I did not have to wait to be seated since the friends we were meeting had already arrived and got a table. We greeted our friends then reviewed the menu. Since it was around 12ish on a Sunday, only the brunch menu was available. Not long after, our waitress arrived to take drink orders. Shortly after that, and after the drinks arrived - pineapple mimosas, apple juice, and water, we ordered our food...mostly everyone had a burger. I had the Texan burger/sandwich which came on a Texas toast, hence the name, and my partner had the Newberry Smash burger (double). Each came with a choice of "regular" fries or tots. I wanted sweet potato fries, but again, since it was Sunday, only the brunch menu and what was displayed was available. So, I settled for regular fries. My burger was good albeit a bit messy with the sunny side egg running everywhere! The bacon topping the burger was perfectly done with the right crispy/crunchy consistency. My mimosas was refreshing except I did not get much of a pineapple taste. The fries were fresh and appropriately seasoned, not too salty and not too bland, just right. We were all full from our meals so we did not even consider dessert! The restaurant was busy but not overly crowded, so the atmosphere was quite. We sat by the windows and were not even distracted by the outside vehicles passing by. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and would recommend J.R. Neighbors to anyone looking for good burgers in a good atmosphere in Etown.
