“Ice cream and gluten free brownies“

“I hadn’t been to Bruce’s in several years. I had heard that Bruce had passed away, and I wondered if the restaurant was still the excellent place that I remembered. It is! I had a mushroom Swiss burger with cream of cabbage soup on the side. Outstanding! Also, one of the neat things that I always appreciated about eating at Bruce’s was how he would always come out and socialize with customers. Of course, he can no longer do that. But one of his cooks, Chad, has stepped into that role, it seems. He came out to see if everything was okay and we talked about desserts (one is included with the meal). He gave me some good advice and allowed me to sample a couple of different pieces of cake. I ended up with an upgraded dessert (blueberry walnut cheese cake) and a piece of Hawaiian fruit cake to take home for Susanne. Chad has learned the lesson that Bruce intuitively understood. People like to do business with people. Chad made the lunch more than just a transactional experience where he gave me food and I gave him money. Instead, it was someone sharing what they loved to do (cook food) with someone who appreciated it and wanted as more than happy to pay for it. Not coincidentally, I also ended up spending more money than planned because I appreciated the experience. There’s a lesson to be learned here. Thanks to Bruce’s Fabulous Foods, and to Chad, for a great lunch.“

“Amazing snoballs and service. Great place for a family outing.“

“Countryside is one of our favorite restaurants in Marion! We moved here last winter and every time we visit, the service is quick and the food is hot and fresh. We love that we never have to wait or ask for the check, they leave it every single time on the table so you can check out up front whenever you’re done eating. They always check on us when our food is delivered to make sure we have everything we need and often the servers are mind readers and bring a side of ranch and gravy when they deliver my chicken tenders & ask if I’d like either. I don’t have to ask them and wait for them to bring it to me. Not often do many restaurant do this so it stood out to me! I also love that they leave a pitcher of the beverage you order on the table so that if you’re engaging with friends or family, we can help ourselves to refills and they don’t have to worry about interrupting a party or neglecting them. As a couple who has spent years in hospitality and the service industry, we absolutely appreciate all of the thoughtfulness that goes into their day to day and will always keep coming back for the great food & service!“

“Good service, food was fresh and served quickly. BBQ was very good as was the Granny's catfish that my wife had. Don't forget the hushpuppies!“

“Normally very good food, and service but tonight ordered my useual pineapple acp to go, it was late granted about 9:15 but took the food home and not even one chunk of pineapple! it ruined my meal!“

“Awesome food and service and I love my shirt!!“

“we ordered food from Pepperoni's today, the second time this week,I wanted pasta so I got the spaghetti,as always our food got here fast,and was still nice and hot, the sauce was delicious but the meatballs on the spaghetti were awesome,tasted like actual homemade meatballs im thinking that they are my go to for a pasta fix from now on!!“

“Under new management, bartender Sean is phenomenal. If you have been here before give it another try.“

“Best little Dive bar in Marion with great friends and such a great friendly atmosphere. Everyone knows everyone like Cheers is the only way to describe it. We're all like family getting together each day. Nothing else like it.“

“My only complaint is that I really wish that the inside were more like a restaurant rather than a fast food joint, but that being said, the food NEVER disappoints! Prices have gone up just a little bit, but still reasonable. If you like homestyle, country cooking, then you will not be disappointed. I always get the salt & pepper catfish, and it is among the best catfish that I've ever had. It is ALWAYS good, very light & clean tasting, and never slimy. My family has had the chicken and they say it's good. The sides are also always good, and cooked the way your grandmas probably used to make them. There was one time when I went and they were out of saltwater catfish, and several of the sides, but that has only happened one time so maybe it was just that day. Anyway, I would definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone!!!“

“Glad we took the time to dine here. They give a nice amount of food when you get something like the Fajitas for 2. It was enough to be completely full and have leftovers for another lunch. The bean dip they serve with fresh chips is quite good and a decent salsa bar. The wait staff was hard at work and made sure our drinks stayed full and made sure our food was more than just adequate. Will return again.“
