Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

We stopped at Cracker Barreling Boone NC on 12-31-2024. We ordered breakfast and it took about 50 minutes to get our food. The pancakes were terrible. My wife couldn’t hardly cut them. I immediately took them to the kitchen and requested to get fresher pancakes. The lady said they had similar complaints about the pancakes. How do you mess up pancakes? I also told the person when I paid my bill.

The Boone location needs a good cleaning. The lights are dusty. The lamps on the tables are nasty. The windows are nasty with food from kids hands. The vinegar bottle that was brought to use had food dried on the side. The catsup bottle had a broken lid. The waitress we had would not stay at the table long enough to ask for a tea refill. Our glasses were empty and we had to call her back to the table to ask for more drink. I said to my family the bathroom was the cleanest place in the building.

We invited friends to join us for dinner since they had never been to this location. Dining room was very cold with ceiling fans running. Many diners had their coats on as did our friend. Waiter was very slow in taking our order, seemed confused about what we were ordering. My coffee was barely lukewarm and even a refill was still lukewarm almost cold. Waiter was nice but very slow and forgot to bring side dish until reminded. It also took a long time to get the check. Food was ok. The cold room was the worst part of our experience.

The food was good. The server did not give us time to sit down and look at the menu and then transferred us to another server who was much better. The checkout young lady was rude!!!! You need more help during a busy time of the year!!!!

Food and service was good on this visit. Atmosphere was as usual other than it was cold in the restaurant. I personally like it cool and I know the outside temps were in mid 20's at the time but it could have been more comfortable

Parking: Only one handicap spot left which we must have as me and my wife are both disabled with back and chronic pain conditions. It was quite busy at the restaurant though.

Meatloaf and Hamburger steak were served at room temperature. Server did correct cold meatloaf but did not return to correct cold hamburger steak. The remainder of meal was hot. Server was apparently overworked and never brought me a replacement for a mutilated fork with bent tines. I retrieved a fork from the hostess to be able to eat.
