Disappointing Experience - Poor Service & Inconvenient Resolution…read more I placed a pickup order from Washington Family Restaurant and included two to-go orange juices. When I called to check on the timing, they told me I could come in right away. However, when I arrived, my order hadn't even been started, and I had to wait about 10 minutes. While I was waiting I watched the waitresses repeatedly drop menus on the floor, pick them up and put them right back into circulation, I did not see anyone wash their hands even once during the course of this. Once I finally got home, I realized my two orange juices were missing. I called the restaurant, and they confirmed I had been charged for them but didn't receive them. Instead of offering a refund over the phone (even though I paid with a card in person), they told me the *only* way to get my money back was to drive back to the restaurant. This completely defeats the purpose of ordering takeout in the first place. Mistakes happen, but the way businesses handle them matters. Expecting a customer to go out of their way to fix *their* error--on their own time and gas money--is just bad customer service. A simple remote refund or a credit for a future visit would have been reasonable. Unfortunately, their unwillingness to provide a convenient solution makes me question whether I'll return.

This location used to be a fairly regular weekend lunch stop for us when we lived in the area after…read morea trip to Menards. Back then it was Tequilas, now it's Sunny Side Street Brunch. The interior still features tile floors, wooden booths, and solid wood chairs. The space is open and bright. Prices are reasonable, especially considering the portions! I ordered steak and eggs ($17), which came with the steak, two eggs, a biscuit and gravy, and seasoned potatoes. I asked to switch out the potatoes for fruit, and they ended up serving me both without charging me for both. Mr. R had chicken fried steak, which also came with a biscuit and gravy plus hash browns. He was a big fan of the chicken fried steak, and my meal was good as well. Our server was friendly and helpful, and noted that they may revise the menu in the future to adjust for smaller appetites. She helped us figure out an economical combo for a family member who was eating with us as well. If you're hungry or want leftovers, this may be the place for you! Alcohol is still available as well.

Other locations seem to make them to order and they come out nice and saucy at those locations. The last few years including today the loaded hash browns aren't as good as they used to be.

Subject: Unprofessional Management…read more My experience at the 502 Brock Drive location in Bloomington on September 11 at approximately 11:30 AM was deeply disappointing, defined entirely by an unacceptable display of poor management and discourtesy. From the moment of arrival, the management personnel on duty exhibited a dismissive and antagonistic attitude toward paying customers. Instead of maintaining a welcoming environment, the leadership team created an atmosphere of friction and indifference. Basic hospitality standards were entirely ignored, and inquiries from guests were met with outright irritation and condescension. This lack of professionalism extended directly to how leadership interacts with potential personnel. Observing the way management spoke to and treated individuals inquiring about future employment opportunities was telling. The tone used was curt, dismissive, and entirely devoid of basic professional courtesy, revealing a toxic internal culture that clearly bleeds into the front-of-house guest experience. A brand with the national footprint of Cracker Barrel relies heavily on southern hospitality and community trust. Unfortunately, the current management team at this Bloomington property is actively dismantling those standards. Leadership sets the operational tone, and the disrespect shown toward both loyal patrons and prospective workers is systemic and unacceptable. Corporate oversight is urgently required at this location to address these severe cultural and managerial deficiencies. Didn't even get to sit down and enjoy the great food I know and love from this brand/business. -John-Patrick Kennedy

We discovered Barrel House in July 2025. The first thing we tried were their fried mushrooms. These…read moreare not your average, every day, frozen bagged appetizers. They are huge portobello mushrooms, hand breaded, with their special sauce for dipping. We've actually gone back just to have these as a meal. There is something on the menu for everyone, from burgers and pizzas, to salads and wraps. We've tried many options on the menu. But so far, our favorite is the fish & chips. Again, a hand battered, huge portion of haddock. And go for the pickled cucumbers, sliced so thin you can almost see through them. Service is fantastic. When you go (and I know you will) ask for Ashley. She is a genuine, hard working, young lady who knows the menu and how to approach diners. She'll make recommendations based on your palet and is attentive to her customers. Barrel House is located on South Veteran's at the Double Tree Hotel.

We've been coming to Barrel House for years, but this visit was very disappointing. Three people at…read moreour table ordered the enchiladas, and they were dry, lacked flavor, and the chicken was gristly. We had to ask for extra sauce, and they were missing the sour cream that was shown in the menu picture. The portions were also very small for the price. The service was extremely slow. It took about 15 minutes before our server came to take our drink orders, and our food took a long time to arrive. We also had issues with a coupon that wouldn't scan. The server had to get the manager, who said she couldn't honor it because it was " old and too big of a discount" even though it was on the app and only offered us $2 off instead. We also had a $5 gift card that was forgotten when the bill was brought out, and we had to ask for the manager again to have it corrected. Overall, this was a frustrating experience with slow service, disappointing food, and unnecessary issues at checkout. Unfortunately, this visit did not live up to the experiences we've had here in the past. And people came in way after us and left way before us so we don't know why they were not taking care of our table.

It wouldn't be a business trip if not for a stop at Biaggis…read more Food: * Chicken Pietro - massive portions (IMO). The mashed potatoes can add a lot of mass, though I thought there was a lot of chicken and mushrooms too. So yeah, a lot of everything. I had zero apps and half a piece of bread going in. When it says it's a balsamic sauce, the balsamic flavor was very strong.

Trying a chain Italian restaurant seemed like a risk of landing a glorified Olive Garden. But…read moreBiaggi's more than surpassed expectations! We started with bowls of a seasonal cream of Mushroom soup and LOBSTER CORN CHOWDER. Both were decadent and delicious and paired well with the warm, fresh focaccia bread. Then we got LUMP CRAB CAKES. They were moist but delicious, with a tasty crust. For our main course, we got FETTUCCINI WITH LOBSTER and BRAISED SHORT RI Both were absolutely amazing and the worst thing is there was maybe too much of each. If that's a problem. Staff was a little too attentive (mostly because we were having a nice conversation). Again, that's the worst thing I can think of. Too attentive staff and too much great food!
