Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

This may be a national chain, but it's the people working there who make it local. Around the time my daughter was approaching her first birthday, she would regularly wake up during the 5am hour. Since we were up anyway, we'd throw on some street clothes and head over to Cracker Barrel for breakfast. So for several months, we were regulars... almost weekly. We routinely had Liz as our server and she was (and still is) amazing. When business was slower, as you'd expect for the early hours, she would pick up our daughter and carry her around the dining room to look at all the decorations, and the fireplace which she was especially fond of. This gave me and my wife a very welcome time to drink our coffee and eat our food while it was still hot. I think most parents appreciate just how nice it is to be able to eat a meal before it gets cold.Fast forward to the pandemic and we stopped going out to restaurants for a while. When we started coming back to this Cracker Barrel in mid-2022, we were elated to find out Liz was still there, and she still remembered our daughter. Just this past Sunday, we went back and while we were checking in at the host station, I heard from behind me: "Where is she? Where's Alice?" Liz looked like she was just about to start her shift and probably spotted us walking through the front door. She wasn't our server this time. But we still got impeccable service!After we ordered, I walked my daughter around the retail store. Liz walks up to me and asks me if anything in particular caught Alice's eye. I mentioned that there were a couple of snow globes that she wanted a closer look at. As we were getting ready to leave, Liz comes back to us and walks my daughter back into the retail store. This gives you an idea of just how comfortable we are with Liz. A few minutes later, Liz comes up to me at our table and hands me a bag with a snow globe in it. That's right, she bought my daughter a snow globe. Despite a 4-year-old attention span, my daughter is still talking about how kind it was for Liz to get her that snow globe.

Late lunch yesterday. No other people but us. We ordered meals, 2 of us ordered side salads ,3.89 ea additional cost. We never got any biscuits until I asked before we left. Sat there quite awhile waiting for our salads, they came less than 5 minutes before our food arrived, barely touched salad, waste of money. Manager sat at table behind us, told our server he was leaving, I said we've been waiting for our salads for awhile, she didn't even turn around and quipped, you will get all your food. Menu is a lot smaller, no corn muffins, lots of stuff missing from confusing menu.Manager rude, kitchen wasnt working good, how the hell hard is a side salad to make. The waiter was fine considering he was told to leave, then oh no you can stay. No wonder everything was a mess, head person doesn't know what she was doing. Should of gone to Red Robin. Total waste of 70 bucks! She wasn't around when I asked to speak to someone before we left, hope she sees this and comps our meal, it was a joke

The food is excellent! I have been to Cracker Barrel many times I have always loved the food, every time the service was excellent except this time. Timothy our server said they changed things on him but he didn't figure it out. We literally had to ask another employee every time we needed service from ordering to getting the bill. I highly recommend Cracker Barrel, hopefully it was just a bad day for Timothy.

We ordered fish fry, fish were pretty big, pretty good, but they didn't have corn bread and chocolate pecan pie. I don't like their side dish green bean.

Kaitlyn did a good job service wise. Got Grandmas Pankcake breakfast. Sausage was dry, not hot. Ham was too salty. Eggs were not fresh, seemed like they had been sitting for a while.. Pancakes were good but were small for the price. Biscuits tasted fine. Friend got the meatloaf, it did not look appetizing and he did not care for it.

Was able to get their hamburger steak cooked less how i like. So it was excellent ...its great hamburger steak but lousy when they cook it like rubber. Green beans were terrible .good waitress. Ordered the peach cobbler it had very little crust and was dried up. But the hamburg steak saved the meal

Great afternoon drive in the country to a familiar place for our craving for southern hospitality and food.

Yummy comfort food, delicious sweet tea, and friendly servers. We LOVE this place!!!

I normally would give higher ratings but honestly the food has been sad each time I go and I don’t go often so that says a lot.Chicken was good , pancakes didn’t taste like anything but butter and thinner each time ??, biscuits were dry and floury tasting , eggs were cold and hash brown casserole was mushy and missing seasoning ??. Paid $23 and kind of sucks because I wish it was better.The waiter was amazing though he really was so sweet and very attentive( Aiden) he made everything better and gave us all we asked for . Besides that I think it’s the last time I’ll be coming sizes are smaller and flavors are becoming more sad .

I’m not sure how this place has any good reviews. I don’t generally complain about food at restaurants, but I will complain about this place. Yesterday I ate two day old leftover macaroni and cheese from the Safeway deli, and it was far better than the Mac and cheese at Cracker Barrel today. The fried chicken tasted like reheated KFC, and the rest of the sides were frozen things from a bag, fried in old oil. The people who were working there were very nice and friendly though.

Over the years the quality and goodness of Cracker Barrel has been of great comfort to me. We know their menu by heart and while traveling long distances depend on them for good food at reasonable prices. Many people don’t realize they have Southern Fried Chicken. (Killer Crispy). We only had one bad experience and they gave us a free meal coupon. It was a shiny gold ticket and paid for 1 1/2 meals later on. (The other CBS redeemed the ticket with ease) Cracker Barrel is s decades old friend and a beacon in a sea of unknown restaurants.

Good country food……I love their general store.

Cracker Barrel is one of our go-to favorites. On June 1, my wife's meal was excellent, as usual. However, my meal was less than perfect - VERY unusual. On going to pay our bill, I was asked how our meal was and in a matter of fact tone, I commented that it wasn't as good as usual. Concern was expressed and I was asked if I would like to talk to the restaurant manager. I said sure and in a straight forward way discussed my meal with the respective manager. She was very gracious and open to my comments, wanting to make things right. That excellent customer service combined with the good food, we have come to expect, will bring us back in the future.

Great service from Aiden H. Ask to be seated at one of his tables. We always select beans and greens, which are much better at the restaurant than as a take-out item. Enjoy your visit!

I was there for my first time and not impressed. First off the waitress was great. My food was not. I ordered the pot roast. What i received was a plate full off fat. There was maybe 3 small bites off meat in the whole pile. I returned it and then replaced it with the home style chicken it was ok but by that time my Sister was finished with her meal and i lost my appetite. When we went to pay they had not even changed it on the bill. They should have either gave us a discount or given my meal free but they charged us full price. I personally will not return.
