“Usually always depend on Cracker Barrel for good food and service. Not here, service was bad, food was absolutely horrible and at check out we stood and waited for about 5 minutes before the person helped. Never bothered to even acknowledge me standing there. Don't go to this Cracker Barrel“

“First time I had the Southern Fried Chicken, which was delicious. It was a quiet mid-afternoon visit, so it was a particularly nice atmosphere. Our server, Cindy, was very efficient and accommodating. Really like the rewards program, as well.“

“Brisket and pulled pork are good but didn't come out as hot as we would like. Mac and cheese, veg of the day, potato salad, and Carolina slaw were decent sides. Unfortunately, I didn't particularly enjoy the cornbread. Overall fair price for the amount of food and quick service!“

“Cool little place. Very friendly staff. I had some wings (super hot, just like I like!) and cheesecake. Yeah yeah, I know, I didn’t get any seafood. I really wanted to, but wanted to walk back before it got too dark out.Also had a cocktail, I think the hurricane ? and was a little iffy about it at first, but the waitress recommended it. It was so refreshing and delicious. Also had a beer, which as always when not a light beer, delicious haha.Overall, great place. Helpful and friendly staff, great food and great drinks!“

“Yummy! Yummy!? I normally don't give reviews but I just want to inform anyone that's looking for some good soul food this is the spot! Do not judge a book by its cover meaning the outside. But it does not have anything to do with the cook cooking when I come there. I ordered the three-piece catfish greens and yams and peach cobbler. You will not be disappointed keep cooking that good food“
