Cracker Barrel Reviews
Enjoy the atmosphere and especially the gift shop for unique seasonal finds!!
The food is good and I can eat in or order for delivery. I have had severe holiday meals catered.
State College PA location- Do not recommend. Service is not good, time to get food way too long, food served cold, chewy and believed to be microwaved. Took about 40 minutes to just receive our food with two small hungry children that is to long, they could not even eat their bacon it was to hard and chewy. Never received corn bread & biscuits with our adult dinner meals. ( Other table did) no offer for refills on drinks. Ask for a second order of the kids pancakes and the waiter...read full review

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store offers generous portions of great food, although side dishes cannot be declined for a discount. The restaurant is loved by both kids and first-time visitors for its menu options and wheelchair accessibility. However, the cleanliness of tables could be improved, especially during slower times. Parking may require some extra walking due to nearby developments.
The restaurant has received mixed reviews from customers. While the food is generally considered okay, with some dishes like the catfish and pancakes being enjoyed, there have been concerns about the quality of certain items, such as the overly crispy steak fries and the "big glob" of dumplings. The service has also been described as inconsistent, with some customers finding their waiters to be inattentive and requiring multiple requests for refills or to-go boxes.
Additionally, the restaurant can be quite busy, with one customer reporting a 30-minute wait for a table despite empty tables in the dining room. This has contributed to a noisy atmosphere, which may not be ideal for all diners. The availability of handicap parking has also been noted as a concern.
