“The staff was friendly and helpful, and the food was incredible. I got the fried chicken, mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. It was wonderful. The chicken was hot, juicy and spiced beautifully. The fruit tea was so good. I tried the pecan pie for dessert at the recommendation of one of the staff members and it was one of the best pecan pies I’ve ever had. I will definitely be back.“

“Cracker Barrel remains Consistent for Comfort Food!Mid-Week, post-work dinner for a group of four brought us to Cracker Barrel.We were pleasantly surprised to see Mimosa and Beer offerings on the menu, which is a nice treat for the over 21 crowd.Our group stuck with waters, iced tea and soda.One on our group elected to go for the Breakfast All Day approach by ordering Grandma's Sampler French Toast Breakfast. This dish comes with four pieces of Sourdough bread, two eggs (any style), a sampling of Bacon, Sausage and Ham plus the choice of a breakfast side and the famous warm syrup. All delicious, with the French Toast delivering every bit of sweet satisfaction.Next was the Homestyle Chicken with two boneless chicken breasts breaded and deep fried as the center piece and two sides. In this order, a side of delicious dumplings - if you haven't trued, please do so - and corn. Finished with a buttermilk biscuit.The third order was the 1-Piece Catfish platter with a fried Catfish fillet, tartar sauce and a choice of two sides and a corn muffin. Sides ordered were baked mac and cheese and turnip greens - perfectly matched this dish with some hot sauce on the greens. This catfish would give a fish fry shack a little competition.Final order was the classic got-to Chicken Tender platter. this platter had Cracker barrel's hand-breaded and fried chicken tenders and in this order, honey mustard and two country sides which were mashed potatoes and the white gravy and green beans and a buttermilk biscuit. Absolutely delicious.We left no room for dessert, but plenty of time to walk through the store and look at the variety of offerings in the candy, soda and small toy categories.If you are local or out-of-town, and are looking for food that is dependably delicious, look at Cracker Barrel. Also, great deals before 6pm!“

“this restaurant has recently changed management and has an almost completely new staff and you can 100% tell. even while being short staffed, they are kicking butt. they’re new blackened chicken is probably my favorite grab n go dinner and my family LOVES the red beans/rice and the mac n cheese. after looking at the reviews on here, i highly highly recommend giving them another try. between the new management & staff, it’s a serious turn around. definitely my favorite popeyes to go to between the food & people!!“

“Took forever to get our drinks then when she finally brought her food, didn’t have my granddaughters plate at all. Never said anything so we asked her where was her meal? They ran out of fish. Then why didn’t you tell us and ask her what else she wanted? Didn’t bring any napkins, didn’t refill. Our drinks didn’t have any tartar sauce for the Cajun fish that I got they didn’t have any Cajun seasoning on it. It was just bland. She asked me if I wanted ketchup? And I said no, so we told the manager and they did give us our meal free. This was supposed To be a birthday dinner for our granddaughters. We couldn’t believe that they didn’t even bring her or tell her anything and no napkins. The managers blamed it on her being I don’t care how you are Not giving napkins or not even giving you your food because they ran out and don’t tell you is inexcusable. Kids today are not taught to serve. The last couple years this restaurant Has gone down, but then it started being better. I think they had a different manager. But now it’s back to being horrible“
