“me and my family had breakfast and dinner there and we are all completely satisfied with the food service, and gift shop. Will continue to go to Cracker Barrel in Illinois.”

“This is one of our favorite restaurants! The food is phenomenal and the customer service is even better! We are always greeted warmly and the owners always remember how much our son loves their naan! Our favorite is the tikka masala, but we are always excited to try the other selections on the buffet.”

“Pizza buffet was well stocked and the pizza was hot. The salad bar gave you plenty of options.”

“Wonderful, clean and nicely decorated restaurant with a variety of entree choices. We were seated immediately and had our drinks quickly. Our server was very pleasant and friendly. The bread and olive oil Italian bread dip was perfect! Great flavor and the bread was fresh and soft. I had the baked manicotti and it was delicious. If you like cheese, you'll love this dish. My guest had the Rigatoni and said the bolognese sauce was fantastic. If you're in the mood for good pasta, come here instead of those commercial Italian places. You will not regret it.”

“So delicious! I hadn't been in years and it was just as awesome as I I remembered it. Food made fresh to order that I'd delicious! Great staff that's engaging!”

“I called, in typical husband fashion, basically last minute: they still came in clutch for my wife’s birthday cake. It was Black Forest (or something) and she cried: not because it was gross. She was happy because it was special and adorable and Larry’s made it happen. So, thank you.”

“I absolutely love this place ❤️”

“Remodeled former Wok N Roll building. The buffet is the same but different. The remodel is nice with new tables, chairs, and other decor. Easy entry and exit. Plenty of parking. A new layout makes it easier to get through the hog trough. Asian buffet items are very good and kept refreshed. Reasonable pricing. Wait staff are quick and friendly.”

“Very nice dinner with family. Service was excellent and everyone was very pleased with their meal. If you are looking for that special night out in Marion, go the Hideout.”

“This restaurant has it all. Extremely clean, from the silverware to the rest rooms. And to top it off, the food was SO fresh and prepared like all meals should be - with care and love. We will be back! Great job everyone!!!”

“First time at this Texas Road House. Great experience! Great food! Our server, Mandi was terrific!”

“My man kept calling me pookie one afternoon, had a good laugh when we pulled up to this place later :D We were just driving through and needed a place to decompress for a bit. The service was killer!! We hung out with our NA beers (sober) and played bocce ball. It’s a fun game if you’re a fun person! We had really fantastic burgers and everyone seemed to be vibing in this place.”

“I love Freddy’s steak burgers. I don’t eat burgers often but have to get Freddy’s when I am passing through. Pearlie from Chicago”

“Hadn't eaten Long John Silver's since they closed in my area over eight years ago. Fish was awesome and exactly as I remember, just smaller pieces, which wasn't unexpected as everything seems to have shrunk in size over the past decade.”

“We ate at The Turn for the first time last night to celebrate our anniversary. I had heard that their food was very good and I have to say that all the reviews were right and the service was good. We had the rib eye steak which was seasoned just right and was tender and easy to cut along with asparagus on the side and mashed potatoes. Also the drinks were fabulous and made fresh. We will definitely be going back.”

“Outstanding potatoes fajitas. Steak burritos. Great service friendly staff.”

“Hostess and supervisor very rude and think it's okay to degrade a group of older women when all they did was ask for things that should have already been delivered to their table. I couldn't believe how condescending the hostess was to them! To say I'M NOT YOUR WAITRESS!!!! Wow. Then for the supervisor to laugh it off. Unprofessional and because of that, we will not be back.”

“Played there today and after the rain they received early this morning the course was fabulous! Off the cart paths as well! Bunkers were perfect too! Highly recommend playing here!”

“Absolutely the best around!”

“Catfish was delicious. Coleslaw was fresh and very good. Fries and hushpuppies good but the rib tips were awful. Dried BBQ sauce on bone and grizzel. No meat. Not worth buying.”

“Great steak tacos is going there for quite a while but my daughter likes chicken on the beach. Food is always fresh. Good customer service just a real nice environment.”

“Food was delicious and they brought the soup before we even ordered! Great value for the money.”

“The best flavored coffee in town with many SF flavors.”

“The *ultimate* in chilled atmosphere, eclectic and electric local talent, the best of spirit mixology and the mixing of local spirits. The public place for those who know on the Marion Square.”

“Thank for the free birthday coffee!”

“I had the Italian Beef sandwich with peppers and onions. I really enjoyed it and would get it again. The fries were enough for 2 and I love the shakes. My only suggestion: offer a 2nd size, Larger shake. :)”

“Just stopped at this Panera for some soup, sandwiches, and bagels. We got through the line and realized that neither of us brought our wallets?! So we asked the person at the window to cancel our order and he said not to worry about it and he would pay for it! What a sweet person. You deserve a raise! The world is a better place because of people like him.”

“I come to this subway often and me and my husband always enjoy seeing Rachel the worker she recognizes us and She always makes our sandwiches hot and goes above and beyond! Love the steak and cheese wraps too”

“Their Slim n’ Trim strawberry smoothie is the best!!! If you’re in the area around the Hub in Marion, I strongly urge you to give them a try!!!!”

“Don't come here if you are in a hurry. Because they are not. The parking lot was practically empty and only two tables were occupied when we arrived. We were there 25 minutes before they even dropped the country fried steak into the fryer. $5 for 3 small pieces of paper thin bacon. The gravy was cold. The group that came in much later than us had their food at the same time as us. Toilet paper in the back womens bathroom stall was not accessible. It seemed the latch that allowed that second roll to to be accessible when the first roll was gone was broken. The other toilet looked like it hadn't been flushed in some time. The eating area did appear cleanly. They did keep your coffee cup full.”

“I heard about this Italian Restaurant by the Staff at the Hotel I was staying at in Marion Illinois just to great of a name not to try this Resturant. Food was excellent ok with pricing, Good Italian Pizza. So, clean.”

“Excellent food and service.”

“Went with my family for supper tonight, was seated right away food was great. The reason for the 4 star review was the service. I ordered the country fried steak, it came with eggs hash browns and my choice of bread. I told my waitress I wanted biscuits and ask for butter. Then I added a order of biscuits and gravy also. when our food arrived I noticed the waitress had forgotten my biscuits that came with my country fried steak dinner. I was told they gave me biscuits with my gravy, when I asked about my biscuits n butter that came with my meal, I was told they put the biscuits with my gravy and only charged me for a bowl of gravy. When I ask why when I ask for biscuits and butter because it came with my meal (I wanted it for my eggs) I was told again She had giving me 2 biscuits. the waitress then held up 4 fingers and said you want 4 biscuits?? I said I want what came with my meal. Then again she held up 4 fingers and said if you want 4 biscuits I can bring you 4 biscuits at that point I was just fed up with the conversation and asked if I could please get some butter. The butter was cold and was not spreadable lol The entire time we were there we were not offered a refill on our drinks, two of our party of 4 finished half of there meal with no drinks. The food was really good just was really disappointed in the service.”

“Clean, very friendly guy at counter, but new allotments are gettin' a tad skimpy not lookin' as full as the picture, like 2 slices of turkey instead of maybe 4 in the new Baja bliss?

Vegetarian options: It's nice for gluten freers too cuz you can get it as a salad”

“Thanks Richard for always reminding me to add the cookie to my order so I don't get in trouble when I get home.”

“Stopped in late one weekend (10pm) had great service, and great food. Two of our party of 10 had to wait to get their cluckin’ crispy chicken sandwiches for quite awhile. Everyone else had finished eating but luckily we were there to talk and catch up with our party. The waitress was so sorry for the wait, but said they had to batter some more chicken. 🙄 Still a good experience and environment, will be back.”

“Great place. Staff is friendly and helpful. My go to for Mexican. There are no Taco John's in Texas. They have been missed the last 14 years. Glad one is in my new location's backyard...”

“If you haven't tried this place you'd should! It was very affordable with filling servings! Imagine it this was, it's a subway but for Mexican foods! The atmosphere was calming and bright and the ones behind the counter had great attitudes!!Husband enjoyed his 14 inch burrito and I went with Doritos nachos! A good spot for limited income or a family!! My nachos stuffed my box!!”

“Great soulfood and a hell of a waitress”

“I wanted to give a shout-out to Jackpot Joe’s and their wonderful staff. Stopped in there on Friday and I can’t even begin to tell you how great of an experience we all had while we were there. Very courteous, thoughtful and accommodating staff! On a scale of 1-10 I give them a 15! Will define back!”

“Very friendly staff nice atmosphere saw lots of deer and turkeys. Nice open area nice clean shower/bathrooms.Close to town definitely coming back”

“Had seafoid combo for dinner tonight and it was FANTASTIC as usual. It is not often that I get food spicey hot enough that also has fantastic flavor”

She was handling the bar, the tables and the patio. We were very impressed with her!! We’ll definitely be back.”

“Haven't been to an Olive Garden in forever. Probably since high school in the 00's. Did a solo mission and sat at the bar where Dylan provided a quality experience and the food was BOMB.”

“We stopped by just passing through. The guys was amazing but the guy i dealt with had zero customer service skills. He initially tried to charge me 40 something dollars for a meal just for me plus a few small sides. When i tried to explain, he had a horrible attitude. I still paid 20 something for one meal plus 2 egg rolls and a chicken on a stick. But the food was absolutely great.”

“great ppl and great coffee”

“We went here for our anniversary dinner and I am glad we did. It's a small restaurant with a great atmosphere. The people working there are very personable and friendly. The menu is large and offers a great variety. I had the filet mignon and lobster hibachi and it was absolutely delicious. It was full of meat and perfectly cooked vegetables in a great tasting teriyaki sauce. They also offer a huge variety of sushi. I will definitely be eating there again!”

“Love the drinks..The Baristas are extremely helpful with finding something youd typically like (& need?) Its has its convenience being inside another store; but there's not a lot of space..The 'cafe type's questions don't really apply but it's still a great place!”
