“I discovered Top of the Marq in June when a friend took us there. I have been back several times including my birthday 4 weeks ago. I really like this place especially for the atmosphere. The food jd excellent. Last time I had the 16 oz garlic ribeye steak. I took half of it home.“

“Amazing food, friendly staff, great atmosphere. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our stop here!“

“I have been here many times, but I've only had the burgers, but my wife tried chicken and it was great also, but the burgers are amazing and I love their fries because there are always hot. I have also tried their ice cream before and it is so delicious I didn't have time to get in a this time. I've been to Culver's in several cities, and I have never been disappointed. 😋😋“

“Had it for the first time today for lunch. We ordered Mac balls. And a taco burger and a fresco burger with ribbon fries. All absolutely DELICIOUS !!“

“We are so appreciative of this location letting us stay the night in our rv. We had problems with our truck and they were so “hospitable “! Entire staff was awesome! Food was awesome! Kathy who was working the counter was very friendly, gracious and helpful. We appreciate this Cracker Barrel staff!!“

“Who needs regular ranch when you’ve got a lineup of fantastic sauces like they have ?! The gator bites were so good — only complaint is we needed way more of them!

My 12oz steak wasn’t exactly medium rare like I usually like it, but it was still one juicy chunk of cow! Service was great, and the whole place just had a good vibe.

The best part? The music outside! Someone needs to get that guy inside for some live tunes — he was awesome! Perfect spot for a fun family night out. 🎶🥩🐊“

“hella kind, friendly, & absolutely caring & over the top servers & I can say that bc I have witnessed it as well as can vouch for being one of them myself. our servers go above & beyond for our customers bc making sure their visit was over the top satisfactory & that they leave with a smile when walking out the door promising that they will be back is what our servers thrive for with every single person that enters our doors. the food is amazing, fast, cheap, & the food preparation is always clean & on point. don't get me wrong, when we as a staff make mistakes we have no issue owning up to it & doing everything we possibly can to be able to fix the wrongful situation by any means necessary bc we never want someone to walk out those doors unhappy about their services they received all around as a whole complete store/staff.“

“Food is always high quality excellent always wonderful. Staff is very nice, happy , very professional, always a Delightful dining experience.“

“Phenomenal evening. Happened upon a "Pop up" accidentally and was able to meet the people that bring this amazing establishment to life. An hour away but oh so worth the trip. Thank you for a memorable and educational evening. Will be back, often!“

“Ordered takeout from inside.

The takeout food I picked up for someone else. However, the aroma of the Turkey, Brisket, and BBQ sandwiches were mouthwatering enticing.

I've had their whole slab ribs in the past, and they were tender and tasty.

“Great service, friendly staff and the manager/host was very accommodating. They made our retirement party awesome!! Thanks again!! March 21, 2025“

“Was greeted and seated promptly. I was sat in a corner on a high top table so it was hard to see me but waitress was very quick to get to me and told me she didn't see me and apologized immediately for any kind of wait. Which was only a few minutes, if that. She took my drink order and my food order which I picked the Triple Dipper which I HIGHLY recommend. As I was going between the southwestern egg rolls and the big mouth bites, I made a slight comment of it and she recommended that both were great which I already knew 😁 BUT I finalized on the southwestern egg rolls and she laughed and said she didn't want to talk me out of my decision which I respected but she said I made the right choice and maaaannnnn she was right! The avocado ranch alone is to die for!!!! My food came out perfect and hot in about 8 minutes. And was served by a very sweet and kind gentleman promptly. My waitress was prompt and checked on me regularly. Filled my glass when it was half full and stayed on top of things. The restaurant is clean, very well maintained, and has the best employee atmosphere. I HIGHLY recommend this Chili's 🌶️. I live an hour and a half away and will most definitely be returning as a normal or regular customer!!!!“

“Colton our waiter could not be any more helpful true asset to your company“

“Hello! Folks I went out to eat the other night my sister and I and decided to go to Applebee's. Well it was real late and I was kinda hungry!. I ordered the Wonton 🌮 tacos and they were fresh crispy and good to my gut!! My server was LaLa she was nice and Professional with a nice attitude! I know it was real late but I appreciate LaLa keeping it Professional with her job no matter what time it was!!! Keep up the 👍 good work LaLa!!!“

“Delicious food and fast, reliable service.“

“I rolled through the drive through Friday on my way home and its been forever since I had steak and shake and when I say forever I do mean many years. To the the least that when we ordered the food seemed high to me but I dont mind paying a little more if its worth it and to say the least this burger and fries met and exceeded my expectations, the burger was cheesy and peppery the 2 things I absolutely love when it comes to burgers the fries were great the amount of food I got and the size of the soda made the price of everything ok. I will definitely be back again when I find the opportunity.“

“The employee's were very nice and our waitress asked if we needed refills often. So many food items to choose from! Everything was fresh and plentiful, but I would suggest they put signs by all the items so we can tell what some of them are. Dessert area had at least 12-13 different items. Chocolate cake was great! We were there around noon, for lunch.“

“Went with the classic Logan, cooked, medium, with graden salad and steamed broccoli. The entire meal was cooked to perfection and was very flavorful. Service was above average and entire staff was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend for chain steak restaurant.“
