“Thanks to Edleys on Woodland for their kindness today! My young neice accidentally left her small handbag on the bench, and we were over two hours away when she realized that she'd left it. I called the restaurant and offered to send payment for shipping if they would mail it. They plan on mailing it to her Monday...no charge, compliments of the restaurant! They didn't have to do that, but it is so appreciated, and our food and service were great too. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you Edleys BBQ!!“

“We got married on 10/11/2025 and had Southern Spoon for our food at our wedding reception! They are the PERFECT caterers and were the most talked about part of our day by our guests! The food was absolutely fantastic! We did a tasting with Adam and Crystal when we booked them for our wedding and they will truly curate the perfect menu for you and your guests, and they love to get creative! We did a buffet style dinner and our 225 guests were served so efficiently! Our guests were blown away by the food at our wedding and no one left hungry! We couldn’t recommended Southern Spoon enough and will definitely be raving about the food at our wedding for years to come!“

“food is good but Horrible costumer service. Angela is the name of the waitress. ignored us and not very pleasant talking to us or don't even care. its not even 30 minutes us eating the food and she can't wait to make us go. I'm still eating and she already snatched my plate that I need to put my fork to the plate that I'm eating and just hand it to her. take note I'm still chewing my food. that is so rude. Manager or supervisor should do something about her she got attitude and racist against me and my boyfriend since we the only asain eating.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review of Cracker Barrel Thanksgiving Take-Home Meal I know this review is about four months late, but I’ve kept thinking about the experience—and that says something. This was our first time ordering sides, biscuits, rolls, and pies from Cracker Barrel to make Thanksgiving prep easier, and from start to finish, it was extremely well done. The ordering process was simple, and the communication leading up to pickup was clear and consistent, which made everything feel smooth before we even arrived. What really stood out was the pickup. I was expecting to go inside, wait in a line, and carry everything out. Instead, there was a dedicated pickup area behind the store where I didn’t even have to get out of my car. It was in the 30s, and there was a team member outside with a smile and an iPad ready to go. She quickly found my order and moved with purpose—no confusion, no delay. They even had a mobile refrigeration unit on-site for cold items, and she ran inside to grab the hot items like fresh, from-scratch biscuits and rolls. The whole process took maybe five minutes. Then there was the packaging, which honestly surprised me. Everything came in a sturdy, waxed, fully branded box that immediately felt reusable. You could tell it was designed with intention, not just as a throwaway container. Everything inside was clean, organized, and secure, and the pies were in their own reinforced packaging—you could have shipped them across the country without concern. Driving home, I felt like a kid on Christmas morning, excited to open everything up. And it delivered. The food was excellent across the board—fresh, flavorful, and a hit with everyone at the table. What stood out most wasn’t just the food, but how well the entire system was run. They’ve clearly thought through every step to remove friction from what is usually a stressful holiday process. We originally did this for convenience, but it turned into something much more memorable. Next year, we’ll likely go all in and order the turkey and ham as well. Cracker Barrel isn’t just a place you stop on a road trip—it’s a legitimate solution for making holidays easier without sacrificing quality.“

“Great experience! Very kind hostesses and waitress, willing to answer questions and were more than accommodating to my family and I. The food was BANGING, complements to the kitchen! I couldn't get over how nice the price was, and the variety of the menu! I can't see myself going anywhere else and paying $10-15 more per entrée/drink for what I would deem the same/lesser quality. Absolutely wonderful experience all around, and will certainly be back. Thanks again to the great waitress!“
