The restaurant was cold enough that I could consider it freezing. Enough so that I had to pop back out to the van and get my hoodie. Ouch. Great service from Rianna who was unable to solve the temperature issue but was otherwise very helpful with taking my order and ensuring that my coffee cup was never empty. Hash brown bowl with ham and eggs and cheese. Quite filling and I could see it being made from my seat. I miss the Waffle House salsa and wish they'd bring that back.

They are a familiar sight just off of the various highways and offer both a store with various items and a restaurant. The srore is always pretty cool and the restaurant offers your usual southern style menu. I would say that breakfast is the best meal that they serve and my go-to is their chicken fried steak and eggs. This location did offer me a first. If you are familiar with Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, the rocking chairs and checker boards in front of the store are a familiar sight. This was the first time that I have ever saw people actually playing checkers at them. Two gentlemen were playing and had quite a few people around them watching the game. So, in New Albany, Mississippi, I got to see this. Overall, the service at the country store was friendly, the ambiance is rustic and today, I just shopped in the store, so I cannot comment on the food. If you are unfamiliar with Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, you should check it out. It is a part of the landscape down here in the southeastern part of out country. Hey, here you can even get in a game of checkers.

Our server Briley was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. We got complimentary bread and olive oil while we waited. We got the antipasto as an appetizer, which had olives, feta cheese, and the Italian meat which I forgot the name of. I ordered the shrimp scampi and tiramisu. Scampi reminded me of scampi I got in Destin, Florida. Very buttery and garlicky with a hint of lemon. It had linguine and several succulent shrimp. Tiramisu was great. Had that espresso flavor and it was a nice enough portion. Had chocolate syrup and cocoa dusted on top. Our friend got the lasagna and he devoured it. He also got the Italian cream cake. He's not a coconut fan, but the server talked him into it. Not enough coconut to turn him off of it. He ate every bite and said it was good. My husband got the spaghetti carbonara and added chicken and shrimp. I tasted it and it was very yolky and flavorful. Overall, the food and experience were great.

I started with the onion petals, which were delicious and a great way to kick things off. For my entrée, I ordered the steak kabobs cooked medium. Unfortunately, they came out closer to well done. They still had good flavor, but I wish they had been a little more tender. The salad bar lived up to the reviews. It was fresh, well stocked, and definitely worth the trip. As a nice touch, they brought out a slice of strawberry cake for my friend's birthday. I stole a bite and can confirm it was pretty tasty. Overall, this is a great local spot with flavorful food and fantastic service. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the steak was overcooked. I'd definitely come back and try it again.

Surprised that my feedback resulted in this level of recover I asked if the restaurant is taking care of my check or if she was. She said the manager offered a small discount on the salad but she was sorry I had this kind of experience and wanted to make sure I Came back and gave them another chance. She said this was her passion and wants to make sure her guests are taken care of. I insisted I pay and explained I was there on business so I wasn't paying for it myself. After several time trying, I just said "thank you and I wished everyone cared as much." That was by far the most sincere service recovery I ever encountered and it was at the cost of the associate. Manager never game to the table. I don't recall seeing anyone that fit that description either. This is a mid to upper tier price point "nice" establishment so expectations should reflect that. Julie owned it and took one for the team. I felt horrible she felt she needed to do that. I hope she doesn't do this often. Experience not so good but I experienced worse. Food was okay to good. Julie was outstanding. I don't carry cash but I gave her everything I had. The only response I need to hear that would make me change my mind is if Julie was refunded for my check.
