    To start off, the bathrooms are completely dirty. They smell and the floors are all sticky. It…read morelooks like they haven't been cleaned in days. The lobby was also sticky and disgusting. They were completely out of condiments as well and the lady at the register did not know how to work the Wendy's app when I was trying to get a coupon to scan. The food itself wasn't bad, as I said they were out of condiments so none of the burgers had mayo or anything. I doubt I'll be back again.

    Horrible place avoid at all costs . The staff is horrible…read moredown to the management . While ordering I was yelled at and rushed. Come to find out it's the supervisor/ manager who was rushing me . She told me to pull up to the first window then put her hand out the second window and started banging on it . While I was grabbing my card to pay she made audible noises . If your reading this noone told you to work in fast food and to be so blatantly rude if you're miserable fucking leave and find a new job and don't be an ass to people for Litteraly no reason . Son of a baconator was trash and they messed up my drink . So yeah if you read this Cracker Barrel is right across the road and the same price just saying . Let's be super clear the only reason yall even still exist at this location is because of where you are because your WELL BELOW average here . Like I travel up the east coast constantly stopped at a lot of places and I really hope Yelp starts letting people put 0 stars . Yall shouldn't be in business like be for real yall trash

    We spent an overnight at the KOA in Emporia and didn't want to cook. Emporia is sort of a food…read moredesert filled with chains and fast food, neither of which we are our favorites (not when you have Yelp!). A place called Val's looked good from the reviews, but it was closed (on a Saturday?), we really didn't have many other choices in town so we figured we'd head to Cracker Barrel. Bad experience waiting in an almost empty restaurant, so we figured why not here? We've eaten here before, and liked it. I'm guessing they are under new ownership or something? Gone are the ladies we have seen before, and they do a robust take-out business, though you can still eat in and the service is just as fantastic. We weren't in the mood for pizza, so Italian entrees it was. First off, everything comes in take out containers now. It's not great for the environment, but I get it. In this economy it's tough for restaurants. If they can save some money not having a full time dishwasher, then so be it. We started with side salads - Hubby had the Ceasar, and it was good. Fresh ingredients and the dressing was pleasant. My side garden was the same - fresh, with plenty of cucumber, red onion and tomatoes. The blue cheese dressing surprised me, as it was filled with chunks of blue cheese. I'm sure they do t make it themselves, so I was not expecting that. Nice! Hubby had Manicotti and really enjoyed it. The sauce was balanced, not too sweet, plenty of ricotta stuffed inside and a ton of melted mozzarella on top. My baked spaghetti was the same. HUGE portions for a really reasonable price. And the garlic bread was so good! Crunchy on the outside and oh so soft on the inside. Lots of garlic butter, too. I almost purchased more to take back to the camper! All in all a nice experience. This is not a Michelin star place. As long as you keep your expectations realizing that, you'll enjoy it. It's a reasonably priced red sauce joint with a really nice staff. The next time we need to eat in Emporia, we'll be happy to stop here.
