This is probably a little different from your "regular" restaurant review, but I just had to tell you about the washrooms at this restaurant. My wife and I are returning home after spending about 2 1/2 months travelling the US to Florida and back to Canada. We are both senior citizens, so have to seek out "facilities" perhaps a little more regularly than younger travellers. We have experienced many scenarios when it comes to public washrooms, but the absolute best were in this Arby's where we dropped by for a sandwich.Both the lady's and men's were spotless (we report to each other!) - both even had a picture on the wall and a potted flower on a stand.BTW - the food was good and the service very friendly and professional.All in all, a good stop.

Your typical Sneaky Pete's. The food and service are both really good here. I love the Sneaky Pete's sauce. Can't go wrong with Sneaky Pete's!

My husband and I felt the quality of food wasnât up to what we expected from Cracker Barrel. We both ordered breakfast. Hubby- ham & cheese omelet and pancakes. Me-sausage biscuit and gravy. Our server was Tom and he made our dining experience a fabulous one. Tom had a great personality, gave personal recommendations, answered questions, was attentive without smothering, quick, and efficient. We give him 5 stars âï¸. He is the reason we will return and give this location another chance.

This exit is convenient for lunch while traveling south & we were delighted to see Full Moon. It was our first visit but our daughter raves about another location. We really enjoyed the bbq & the collards were great. The staff was friendly & service was fast.The chow chow is a special touch.

I have been eating here since the 1970's. Their pizza is great but that is not all that they excel at making. Their sandwiches are some of the best I have ever had from anywhere. Especially try their Roast Beef Sandwich. It has a lot of beef and comes on garlic bread with a special beef gravy. It is fantastic! They have beer and soft drinks if you are thirsty. They have something for everyone!

Our server Alyssa was personable, professional, helpful and attentive. She gave great recommendations that actually saved us a few $$$.The restaurant was clean and bright. The wings were hot, both heat and spicy hot. And there was plenty to eat. I'd caution against the Mango Habanero sauce unless you really like hot. The flavor is great, but the after burn stays with you for a bit.Will definitely eat there again.

Went in to try this location as the others we have patronized were great. Cannot rate food because we were never approached by a server. We were seated and given menus by a lukewarm hostess and we made the fourth table occupied at 4:30pm. We waited for server but never showed, another gentleman came in and was waited on at the bar and then another couple came in and were waited on. All this time there were 5 count them 5 servers standing in a group looking at us but not a one ever came over to as much as take a drink order. They all went into I guess the kitchen an dawdled, then three came out and went out the side door and appeared to be going to smoke. Still no one came to even take our drink order. We know they saw us because we made eye contact with all of the servers. Finally after 15-20 minutes of waiting we left our menus and left telling the hostess if we could not get waited on we were leaving. She just looked around and said nothing. I usually do not complain about restaurants because I understand the business, but to virtually ignore patrons even after eye contact is made is terrible, poor, poor practice. I will continue to patronize other locations, but not this one, and it is a shame this location tarnishes the reputation of a very good restaurant chain.Hi there, we take your comments very seriously and thank you for letting us know about your recent experience with us. We are sorry to learn that the service was not up to our standards and hope that you will give us a second chance to impress you as work on improving our restuarant.

I dashed through the drive-thru to grab a breakfast snack and got the 3 minis of roll/chicken and a soft drink. Service was lightning fast. Food was piping hot and absolutely delicious. I could eat this for breakfast every day. Wish every restaurant had a friendly courteous staff like this one.

We happened upon this restaurant while staying just a minute from it at the Microtel. Wow! What a pleasure! My husband had what he termed, "The best brisket ever, better than San Antonio!" where he had the best up till now and that was in 2000! and I had the BBQ chicken. The food was delicious as were the drinks. We had enough for another meal later. Service by Peter was excellent! We will definitely look up Jim & NIck's during our trips to the South.

My family & I were in the area & thought we would stop in for lunch based off good reviews on Trip Advisor. We were glad we did!! From the moment we walked thru the door, we were greeted with smiles & excellent service. I had the chicken salad club with fries & ranch, hubs enjoyed The Evelyn (grilled roast beef sandwich), 14 yr old son had hot dogs, and 10 ye old daughter had grilled cheese. All were delicious!
