“Great service friendly staff, beautiful atmosphere. Servers are top notch clean restrooms can't say enough good and Cracker Barrel food is always always good.“

“Super nice waitresses, flakey croissants perfectly cooked. The cheese bites are very addictive and a well balanced ranch dip sauce to go with it. This is the best blackened Salmon I've ever had anywhere and i get it all the time, crisp edges and juicy inside seasoned very well.“

“My family and I enjoyed a great lunch today! The food was delicious and the menu is large with many choices. My husband got the catfish and said it was delicious and the hush puppies were the best he has ever eaten! My son got a full rack of ribs and they fell off the bone! I had the smash burger and it was great, we can’t wait to go back and try the BBQ!“

“This place is great! Ignore the construction and you will be amazed! Burgers are super fresh, and onion rings are perfect.“

“Great service and staff! I always love this place.“

“I’ve been coming to this drive thru for years, and the food is always hot, fresh, and delicious. Since the fish is cooked to order, it might take a few extra minutes but it’s well worth the wait. The service is friendly, and they really take pride in what they do. One of my favorite spots.“

“Got dinner here after I got off work. I’ve been avoiding it because I was told it was expensive for “chicken salad”. However it wasn’t bad. I got a half sandwich w/ a cup of soup and a small cookie. I got a drink an extra cookie and slice of cake added that made it right at $20. And it was worth it. The lemon & basil chicken salad was good. The white chocolate layered cake is delicious. It’s a fairly big slice too. But what really prompted me to leave a review is because Austin the cashier was so sweet. He was helpful in saying what was good. That kid should be in sales honestly. And second the bathroom that was the cleanest bathroom I’ve been in, in a LONG time. I RARELY use public bathrooms. In fact the whole store was organized and clean. If you’re doubtful about Chicken Salad Chick don’t be, JUST GO!“

“This food is 🔥🔥🔥 I ordered Chicken and dressing, white beans, cabbage with a side of cornbread. Everything was amazing!“

“Had a party of 12 today, Christmas eve, and we had a fabulous experience! Our server was Manana and she was great!“

“Hadn’t had the dumplings in awhile and it was so good…loved looking at the Christmas decor and can’t wait to put up my new ornaments.“

“We recently dined at Cheddar’s, and our experience was absolutely made by our server, Gwen. From the moment we sat down, Gwen was warm, welcoming, and full of positive energy. She was incredibly attentive, checking in just the right amount and making sure we had everything we needed.

What really stood out was Gwen’s charisma—she brought such a fun, friendly vibe to the table that it felt like we were being served by someone who genuinely cared about our experience. It’s rare to find someone who can balance professionalism with personality so effortlessly.

Thanks to Gwen, we left with smiles on our faces. She’s a true asset to the Cheddar’s team, and we’ll definitely be back to see her again!“

“Just your average Golden Corral. Decent food all around. The staff is great. We had a larger party of about 18. They accommodated nicely, but just call in about an hour before you go. Also, you can reserve the party room in advanced. I thought it was first come first serve.“
