Budget friendly place for home cooked meals. I had dumpling, fried pork chop, vegetables and the chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream, which was to die for yummy! 😋

All of the staff was super friendly. Our server was slow and we had to ask for the basics, such as silverware and napkins, maybe she was new. Cracker Barrel is the only restaurant that I will go for breakfast, and I always get the same thing...pancakes with peaches on top, and hashbrown casserole. Unfortunately they didn't offer peaches and the casserole was salty.

We were incredibly disappointed during this visit. Cracker Barrel is usually a good go-to for us. Our meal ended up being over $70 and it was because of the prices of drinks and up-charges on sides. I got catfish with a salad and corn, my boyfriend got steak with salad and baked potato. We both got sodas and he had a coffee. I did add steak tips onto mine. That was supposed to be a half portion at around $5. He had to send his steak back because it was very over cooked and tough. He ordered medium and there wasn’t even a tinge of pink to it. My steak tips were dry and had gristle. They were supposed to be garlic steak tips, but they were flavorless. I didn’t even eat half of them. Our waitress told us the only salad dressing they had was blue cheese, honey mustard and balsamic vinegar. Our service was extremely slow. Our waitress was polite and friendly, but not very attentive. They were not overly busy either. We had to get her attention for refills and boxes. She never once asked how anything was. When we were first seated it was over 10 minutes before she arrived at our table to take our drink order. It was late in the day, after 7:30 p.m., when we arrived. Not sure if this is the standard for the end of the day or not, but we won’t be going back there for a while. We typically enjoy this restaurant and have had a few issues over the years but nothing this bad. Definitely not worth what we paid.

The shredded potato topping on the stew was over done / beyond crispy.
Staff were very friendly and responsive to requests.

Now I remember why I stopped going to Cracker Barrel. The service is absolutely the worst I have encountered in a long time. They were a little busy, but no excuse for the poor service. First, I think the server forgot about my drink because she walked by me two times before asking if I ordered a Coke. Then, it was a few minutes until I received it. Second, when the food arrived, they forgot the bread and I had no silverware. Third, I waited a couple minutes until I saw the server and asked for it. She went to the back and after a few minutes came back with just a fork. I was afraid after such a wait the food would be cold, fortunately it was hot. Fourth, she never came back and asked how everything was. I finally got her attention and asked for bread. Fifth, by the time she finally brought it (just tossed it on the table and walked away, no apology) I had eaten most of my food. Now, the food. The hashbrown casserole is disgusting. This used to be one of the best items on the menu. The cheese they now use is awful tasting and the potatoes are mushy. The mac n cheese is dry and not tasty at all. The meatloaf was edible and had a good taste, but was a bit dry. (I should have asked for ketchup). The dumplings were probably the best part of the meal. The portion was large and tasted good. The chicken should have been shredded and spread throughout, but it was just a dry chunk on the bottom. The cornbread is extremely dry and bland. Biscuits are "doughy" and not too good. The place is quite noisy, seating and room temperature comfortable. Overall, 1 for service (this is for the polite young man working the register) and 2 for food quality. I seriously doubt I will return. It was a waste of my time and hard-earned money.
