I wanna leave a real honest review here as someone who’s been In the service industry over a decade. The older lady I got was super sweet however about 3/4 the way thru my meal she dropped off the check and said have a good new years. while I was still eating and my tea was needing a refill. But alright …that’s, I mean I would never do that but anyways I was really looking forward to having a hot chocolate and one of those Coca-Cola brownies at the end but she dropped off...

I visited the cracker barrel restaurant in Ottawa IL the food was good, there was no wait time to be seated. Our server was very professional and attentive with an exceptional personality.

A delicious, home-cooked meal felt relaxing after traveling for several days. The large, crackling fireplace added warmth and cheer with a romantic note to our evening. Our waitress was prompt but not overbearing. With the Southern style cooking and antique decor, it would have been easy to imagine we were in KY or TN, except for the Northern accents emanating from the other guests. Just for your info, if you order turnip greens, don't be surprised to have a generous amount...
