Ate there last night! Food, chicken and dumplings, were great and the okra cooked perfectly. The waitress was awesome!

The chicken was still cold and wasn’t fully cooked
The salad just had huge chucks of lettuce and just a bunch of bacon stuck together
The waiter took forever to come

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store is a well-known restaurant that has faced some challenges in recent years. The quality of the food has been reported to have declined, with customers noting issues such as the limited availability of certain menu items like turnip greens. The noise level in the restaurant has also been described as "ear piercing," making it difficult for some customers to eat comfortably. However, the service provided by the staff, such as the prompt and attentive server Chloe, has been praised. While the chicken fried steak was a disappointment, customers have expressed their appreciation for the return of the cornbread and rolls with their meals. Overall, the reviews suggest that Cracker Barrel Old Country Store has room for improvement in terms of food quality and ambiance, but the service and some traditional menu items remain well-received. The atmosphere is often busy but friendly, and many customers find it a good place to enjoy traditional comfort food. Some visitors have noted that the service has improved over the years, making repeat visits more enjoyable, especially since it is close to their location. Despite occasional slow service, guests still recommend the restaurant for its great food and atmosphere, especially after long drives or busy days.
