    Had the club sandwich, its the best I've ever had. Fries were good to. Just took the waiter a long time to get our drinks.

    Horrible service. Came in with my family wife and 2 year old son. Was greeted by host who didn’t even ask if we wanted a high chair. That wasn’t even a huge deal. We sat at our table for a good 7 min than I noticed another couple complaining about waiting so long for the check from the waiter and looking around. My wife had to stare the waiter down to get him to come take our drink order which was just water and juice for my son. We then added our main order in worry this guy wouldn’t come back quickly judging the other customers. The couple that was waiting for the check had to go to the counter because of being ignored and I believe complained to the manager. We proceeded to wait as my wife asked the waiter for a booster seat for my son as he walked by responding “ oh yes sure” We waited patiently as we watched 4 other young waitresses stand around and bus tables as my son started acting up from getting restless as now it’s been almost 20 min with not even a drink. The waiter never came back with the booster seat or waters or the juice. We decided to get up and leave as nobody paid any attention as the hosted greeted us with a good day and a thank you for coming in. With absolutely no clue that we never got served or that we were walking out on account of horrible service. This being on Memorial Day weekend with barely any customers in the restaurant. We will never return to this establishment and we hope you save yourselves the agony of ignorance this wait staff has.

    I would give it zero stars from today's visit. I've been there several times and the food is normally pretty good. I went on my lunch break . I told the server I just wanted biscuits and gravy with a over easy egg and cheese on top. She said I'll put it in. 4 servers later my order still wasn't put in! Now I've only got a 30 minute period before I have to be back to work. Waited another 15 minutes and still nothing. I canceled my order and I will never go back. Wasted an hour of my life and was starving till I got off work. Completely ruined my day.

    Good food, good service

    Was sat at a table as soon as I came in. There is the 1 star. No silverware, no drinks, waited 15 mins, no one come to see what we wanted. Watch the man waiter, the one with the man bun. He sat at a table the hostess was cleaning, glad he had time to flirt. People sat down after us were waited right away.Told the hostess we were tired of waiting and walked out. Customer service doesn't mean much today. Sorry I didn't go to the Waffle house , they seem to care more

  • May 14, 2026

    Really want to give a negative star. Fast to seat me, no silverware, no service. All I got to see is a man Waiter sit and talk to the girl who sat us. People who were seated after us were being waited on . Not us 15 mins no waiter, no drinks.

    Great food, comfortable to sit and chat while eating.

  • April 26, 2026

    Food is very good and presentation appetizing. Very friendly and knowledgeable wait staff. You need to experience it to really appreciate it!

  • April 20, 2026

    The food is alright but the price is so reasonable and the service is so fast that whenever I don't feel like going to Cracker Barrel I'll come here. I gave 40% gratuity because my waitress was excellent. Every worker seemed to work hard and kept a good vibe. That is hard to find.
