This was our first time eating here. I can honestly say we won't be returning. Our server was beyond amazing but food was not great tasting especially for the prices. The dumplings were 0/10 and I really wanted to like them. It was soggy dough balls with no flavoring at all. The Macaroni and cheese tastes exactly like stoffuers. ... or as my bf put it.... deli Mac and cheese from a grocery store. The hasbrown balls were 10/10!! Cooked perfectly and the seasoning and flavor was amazing!! The counrty fried steak was pretty tough and the gravy wasn't good. Not enough flavor even with adding salt. My bf said the burger was ehh. It was very very thick and wasn't seasoned well. He didn't even eat half of it. Our bill not including tip was $50

Ordered chicken tenders with mashed potatoes and a side of string beans. Potatoes looked pre-processed, not tasty. String beans were in small pieces that looked like they had been scooped up from the bottom of a big pot after being stirred many times. Also not tasty. I expected the chicken tenders to be battered and fried. They looked pan-seared, but we’re not bad tasting. The biscuit was good. Waitress was taking forever to bring bill because she spent a long time chatting with other customers. When she finally brought the bill, after I asked for it, it was someone else’s bill.

I have always been a fan of Cracker Barrel, and I was headed to another restaurant and saw this and immediately thought of grits. So, a change in plans. I went in to order breakfast and have my grits. The first thing is the menu is now very different with a lot less choices. I asked the waitress about grits and was informed they no longer sell them. Ouch!!! I ordered my breakfast and no choice of a side of toast without having to pay for it. Again, another Ouch!! I reluctantly placed my order and waited. When my order arrived, the portions were not like they use to be, and I considered them very small compared to other places. I ordered thick cut bacon and what I received was far from that. I think if I placed two slices of the bacon, I received together it may be about the slice on a thick cut if I was lucky. After I finished my breakfast, I asked for a slice of apple pie, and they no longer carry apple pie. The reason I gave these two stars instead of one was because the waitress was awesome. I was very dissatisfied with my experience, and I can honestly say I won't be back. I used to really like this place and it makes we wonder if they are having financial issues because of all of the changes with the menu and the portion sizes.

Cracker barrel is your classic southern style cooking, but from an all white practice. Don't expect soul food. But that's not a bad thing. It's all the classics of southern cooking with what most people will like.The atmosphere is meh. This is because along with the actual restaurant is a country store. Where there is WAY too much stuff. It's a lot of house decor with various clothing attire, and kids knick knacks, and lots and lots of candy. This is why there is a negative score. It's just TOO much stuff. The whole store is crowded with no actual lanes for finding things. It is far worse when there is actually a line of people waiting to be seated, since at that point, it's basically just people standing around and waiting for a table, in an already overcrowded store.Once you make it past the actual store, you'll get to the restaurant part. Here you'll find a nice country atmosphere, a huge fireplace, and seating for over 100. The food is great. I've been here about 6 times and have always got something different. So I've tried a few different things. One major thing to note is that prices have risen significantly. We went here in February and nothing was over $16, as of now, nothing is LESS than $15. So don't go here thinking it's going to be cheap.The worst part of it all, was the bathroom. It's pretend clean. It looks clean but spend a few moments there and you'll see filth everywhere. The floors were sticky, the urinals were dirty, the toilets haven't been properly cleaned, and nothing looks that great.The service was very mediocre. Our waitress was unenthusiastic, no one really seemed happy, most seemed tired and exhausted. It's new years day, but that's pretty safe for customers to have such a mediocre experience.I'll probably come back again, never the food is good, but don't expect anything else to be all that great.
Vegetarian options: They have plenty of vegetables
Kid-friendliness: Not really kid friendly, but there are games at every table, and lots of kids toys and candy in the store.
Parking: There are not lots of spaces. And the front seems very cramped, especially for handicapped parking.
Wheelchair accessibility: There are parking spaces and ramps, but not automatic doors.
Dietary restrictions: It's country food, I'm sure you can have them change things around, but if you're on a diet, don't eat out.

The atmosphere is cozy and the staff are polite and friendly. This made the already good tasting food great! It was a memorable experience to eat at Cracker barreled restaurants. Will recommend it to my friends. ????

Met friends for dinner on a Friday at 5:30 - our first time here. Disappointed they had sold out of the "fried pork chops" and "Chicken pot pie" My substitute burger was tasty and hot. My hubby's substitute "Chicken fried steak" was very good. Our friends had some type of "fried" chicken breast with gravy - which they said was VERY good. Very moist from the bite we tried. ******************************As much want to recognize "Sheridan" what a terrific waiter, friendly, efficient, funny and took care of us always cheerful/funny and positive. Just back from his honeymoon and shared a great short story about this! CB needs to clone him!!! We can't say enough good things about how delightful he made our meal experience! Browsing the "store" will bring back memories with nostalgic candies- even if you don't buy anything it is great to look around.

Had an early breakfast here on my way to work and the service was fast and friendly. The food was served quickly for a place that was a bit busy. Plenty of wait staff going around all attentive. My coffee mug was never halfway empty as it was refilled all the time.The music was not too loud. Very family friendly place.

One of my favorite places to eat. Had chicken and dumplings, macaroni and cheese and corn. It was very delicious. Husband had roast beef which is one of his favorites and my friend chicken fried chicken and said it was the best she's ever had. Always enjoy looking in the shop, so many fun things to see.
All of the above, wonderful place to eat and shop!!

I've gone to cracker barrel my whole life growing up in the Midwest, I haven't gone to them in oregon since they opened. Misty made it feel just like any other cracker barrel I have ever been to! She was a super sweet waitress and made us feel right at home. She had no problem swapping the meat in my breakfast for hasbrowns. Our food came out quick and the rocket pop mimosa was a good little treat! If you have Misty as your waitress you are going to be in good hands!

Definitely a country kitchen. The loaded hasbrown casserole was delicious! They had everything right on these, the texture and flavor. Rocket pop mimosa... yummy ? the country fried steak isn't different from any other that I have had. It was good just not anything special. The Mac and cheese was very creamy, but again also just that. Ok... the Cole slaw!? It's soo hard to find good coleslaw and this one is probably top 3 that I have had. The biscuits were nice and warm with good texture. The cornbread? Well... very bland. On the Maple Bacon Grilled Chicken... lots of flavor and the chicken was juicy. The corn was a little over cooked and soft.
