Reviews for Cracker Barrel Old Country Store in Marion, IL
Slammed.... and still an easy online pick up order. A few minutes later than the time estimated, but no issue. I would... utilize this location again most definitely if in the area. It was just too easy. However..... I did not like being profiledas a thief, or something by walking over, and looking at the names on the to go shelf. That prompted a manager to come out, and stand there, and glare at me like I was going to grab food and run out. I just don't know the procedure, there's nosign, and no one offering to help.

It's my fault that I forgot that Cracker Barrel doesn't believe in breakfast anymore. It used to be one of the best - no, the... best place to go out for breakfast. But Cracker Barrel no longer respects the egg. After the server ( who was great ) remindedme that Cracker Barrel no longer offers omelets, I ordered scrambled eggs with cheese and meats on the side. As you can see, myscrambled eggs came out looking more like the omelet I was told isn't offered. This isn't a location problem. This is a CrackerBarrel problem. I had the exact same experience at another Cracker Barrel in a different state a couple years ago. It's verysad, and there's really no good reason for it that I can see. Please do better Cracker Barrel. Read more
I would like to give a huge virtual hug to Manager Elizabeth, Server Hailey, and everyone at Cracker Barrel in Marion, IL that... made 9/24/2022 successful. This was my first time visiting this particular restaurant. I invited a very dear friend/churchmember (I call her Auntie Yo) to dinner and she asked to eat at Cracker Barrel. Auntie Yo is a warm and generous woman whovolunteers with Alzheimer?s Association in honor of her late mother (Mary F. Johnson) and does a number of other things in thecommunity. When I learned that today she would be speaking at an event for Alzheimer?s and it would have also been her mother?s103rd birthday, I wanted to make sure Auntie Yo was not alone and would feel loved and appreciated. I called Cracker Barrel andspoke to Manager Elizabeth who was immediately willing to help me make sure Auntie Yo felt special and could also celebrate thebirthday of her mother today, affectionately known annually as ?MFJ Day? by Auntie Yo?s family. When we arrived, we were greetedwarmly by the hostess and seated immediately. Our server, Hailey, was super friendly and made sure that our order was perfect.Both of our meals were delicious and we had plenty to bring home. Auntie Yo and I enjoyed our dinner and the delicious chocolatecake we were treated to in honor of MFJ Day. On the drive home and in a text message a little later, Auntie Yo repeated how muchshe really enjoyed the evening. I can really appreciate a restaurant team that will help celebrate the life of a loved one. Nomatter how old you are, you are always somebody?s child. Happy 103rd MFJ Day! If you are ever in Marion, IL, I highly recommendthat you stop by Cracker Barrel for a bite to eat and a little shopping. They have takeout options too. Tell them Kindra Speechsent ya. Read more
Service was wonderful. The food was tasty! I don't care for chicken breast but that was the 1st piece I ate, and boy was it... juicy! We both enjoyed our meals and sweet tea. Very affordable! Great place to stop and eat when traveling! Read more
Servers were nice and professional. Kitchen took WAY to long. People were seated after me, were served, ate, paid for meal and... left before my plate came out. Manager did rectify without me asking. So kudos to manager and servers. Read more
Always love stopping here gift shop is fun food usually good. I had chicken dumpling and green beans, both came out warm should... of been much hotter. Hubby had chicken fried steak which was like rubber, gravy was like a lump of cream. Not sure about thisrestaurant might want to check out one next store. Read more
Normally I love Cracker Barrel but this particular one failed to preform up to their standards. The wait once seated to have a... server stop by was long, then it was abnormally long to get food (no it wasn?t overly busy). Once the food was received only 2of 5 meals were good. Got chicken tenders that were dry and chewy, mushy carrots, over cooked sausage, and over cookedhamburgers. I was disappointed. Thanks goodness for the biscuits or some of us would be leaving hungry! I will go to CrackerBarrel again but probably not this one. Read more
