About 10 minutes after we ordered, the waitress came back and told us that they ran out of fried okra.

1st - of all the things to run out of, this should not have been one of them.

2nd - this is something that we should have been told when I was placing my order, not 10 minutes later.

I ordered something else and it still took another 10 minutes to receive our food. When it came, mine was hot from being made fresh but my husband's food was rubbery and you could tell it had been sitting under the heating lamps for some time.

I usually have a great experience at this location but it was less than disappointing on this visit.

Do better Cracker Barrel.

Closest to home cooked style meal I've had in a long time. Service was excellent. Atmosphere is cozy and fun. Their General Store was fun to shop in. Lots of unique things.

We went here for Thanksgiving dinner (2 of us). We were thankful we joined the online waiting list because there was 30+ minutes wait. They were slammed! I saw various groups of people that were accommodated. I ordered the traditional turkey and dressing dinner and my daughter ordered the country fried turkey dinner from their limited dinner menu. I also ordered the chicken n dumplings dinner to see if it tasted any better than my last experience with it...it did not. Chicken n dumplings used to be my go to many years ago. I will no longer order it going forward. The dumplings were stuck together and gooey and tasted like raw flour while the chicken and the gravy were great. The other 2 dinners tasted fine. They ran out of rolls and offered biscuits or other bread options. I had to request cranberry sauce because it wasn't on my plate. The waiter boxed up my pumpkin pie - which came with my turkey and dressing dinner - to go without asking me. Of course that behavior made me feel that they wanted me gone and we did leave. We love coming here for the gift shop. We always end up buying something.

It's Cracker Barrel. A bit quirky, friendly, consistently good food.
Try the seasonal Country Fried Turkey. It's delicious!

I'm from Houston Texas, I was in Iowa for a wedding. The service was fantastic, and the food is as satisfying and comfortable as any other location. My daughter asked for chicken tenders before lunch, and even though it's not an option they made it for her. I definitely appreciated that, as she has never eaten at Cracker Barrel before.
