I met my friend again here again. We like this place for our meet ups. The service is very good. We order our food and came right after. We love that we can stay there for hours and they don't rush us or anything. We enjoy our time there and I do love their food. I always get the garden omelette. It's very good and satisfying. I love The unlimited coffee too. We will go back again and again. read more

Food was not. Didn't think they could mess up a chicken sandwich but they did. The service was really bad. Waitress never came back to check on us once. I had to ask 3 people for ketchup. My dad said the coke tasted like dirty water. He only took 1 bite of his chicken & dumplings. Its not like they were busy either . It was my first and last time there . read more

Cracker Barrel is always so on-brand it's hard to complain. Completely kitsch in vibe and all the junk they sell up front, dining area continues the theme but is actually rather comfortable, at least for a meal. The good: service was excellent, food was quick, and food was very affordable. Indifferent: food. Went with one of the summer "campfire" specials. It's okay. The bad: nothing. I mean, it's a Cracker Barrel. You know what you're getting into. Verdict: totally on brand for Cracker Barrel. I don't crave the Cracker Barrel experience very often, but sometimes you just need a dose of kitsch. read more

Finally had the chance to visit Cracker Barrel for the first time. I want to start out by saying that the place is beautifully done. Loved the country store that you can visit. The restaurant is well maintained and clean. Parking lot is on the smaller side. My family visited for an early dinner around 5pm. I wasn't kind of worried because the restaurant was dead. But we were greeted and seated promptly. Our waitress was great and attentive. The food was honestly just OK. I ordered the southern fried chicken with 3 sides. The chicken was ok. A little on the hard side. I almost felt like they had pre-made it and then fried it again. All the batter broke right off. Bummer. The sides were good. Mac and cheese was great tasting, the hash brown casserole again was great tasting, although it did not look very appetizing. And the mashed potatoes and gravy were good. I did wanna mention ,the brown gravy did have a smokiness to it. it may be more of an acquired taste for some. My wife ordered the campfire beef meal, which, according to the menu was only available for a limited at a time. The flavor on it was great, the portion size was a little bit disappointing. They were only about four chunks of beef and her campfire meal. Along with two corn on the cops and potatoes and carrots. I honestly probably wouldn't return for lunch or dinner, this place may be more known for breakfast. read more

I celebrated my birthday this past Thursday while visiting family in Bakersfield, and choosing Cracker Barrel was seriously the BEST decision. Such a fun and memorable experience from start to finish! My first visit was just with my mom and youngest sister, we instantly felt how warm and welcoming the atmosphere was. Plus, their gift shop is SO cute. It already had me excited before we even sat down! I ordered the Big Easy steak and shrimp combo with mac & cheese and mashed potatoes with brown gravy, and WOW... everything was chef's kiss. The steak was juicy, the creole shrimp were super flavorful, and those complimentary biscuits? Warm, fluffy, and absolutely perfect with butter and jelly. I also got the strawberry peach lemonade, and as a strawberry lemonade lover, I have to say this is easily one of the BEST I've had. So refreshing and packed with flavor! We loved it so much that we had to come back again this time with my more family (my mom, dad, and two younger sisters). On this visit, I went for the crispy homestyle chicken (with mac & cheese and mashed potatoes again), and it did NOT disappoint. The chicken was crispy, hot, fresh, and full of flavor. While I let it cool, I tried the country fried pickles with ranch (my mom's recommendation), and OMG... I'm still thinking about them. Crunchy, tangy, perfectly seasoned--I honestly could've eaten a whole order by myself! Before leaving, I took my time browsing the gift shop again because it's honestly such a fun part of the experience. They have the cutest, most nostalgic finds, and I couldn't leave without grabbing an adorable set of salt and pepper shakers! Across both visits, everything was consistently amazing, and the service deserves a shoutout too because all the worker I encountered were extremely friendly, attentive, and our food came out much faster than expected both times. I officially fell in LOVE with Cracker Barrel after this trip. I already can't wait to come back and bring my boyfriend next time (sadly there aren't any near where I live smh). I'll definitely be dreaming about those fried pickles, and I'm so excited to try their breakfast next time because all-day breakfast is always a win! read more

Cracker Barrel was quiet the experience for this first-timer; it is well-lit and spacious. I was meeting up with my best friend who was visiting from out-of-state. The server was so kind to wait patiently for us as we took forever to order because we were talking nonstop! After dinner, we browsed the shop adjacent to the restaurant and it is filled with cute and creative items. In terms of food, the portions are reasonable and choice of selection ample. Unfortunately, everything I tried was bland. The one delicious thing was my caramel latte. read more

Service is great, fast and friendly! I was pleasantly surprised by the deliciousness of the pancakes. The plates look a little sad in regard to the bacon and eggs. But can't complain it was a decent meal and a decent price.

Overrated! The potato casseole is dry. Too bad, I was really looking forward to enjoying this place.

Wife picked me up pot roast dinner and it was really delicious moist with perfect seasoning. I had steamed broccoli and house salad as my two sides. It came with 2 cornbread. The green salad was surprisingly good. Tomato cucumber bacon bits sliced carrots. This was a good choice tonight for dinner read more

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - This is not pre-bussing or taking care of your guest. - Southern Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I have this habit of judging a breakfast place based on their coffee and it's very rare that I'm wrong. This time, I was wrong. We ordered the grandma sampler - The pancakes were fluffy, the eggs cooked as ordered, and the hash brown casserole has to be one of the best sides I've ever had! The portions are huge, this alone fed 2 people. But again, the coffee was a let down, just wasn't strong enough. And the sausage patty was super dry and tough, didn't care for that. Our server was attentive and personable, but not overbearing and the restaurant itself was very homey. The shopping g part of the store was not what I expected, but it had a nice variety. Would definitely come back to try their dinner menu. read more

HORRIBLE DELIVERY SERVICE.....you choose the option to deliver HOT FOOD to HAND TO PERSON, NOT dump it at door step, and what do they do? They don't knock, they dump the bags on the pavement in the HOT SUN and when I finally realized it was out there, it was covered in ants!!! I wrote and said I wanted a refund for this no uneatable food (that cost me over $40) and their reply?...they send me a USELESS coupon that must be used 'in' their store, after i told them I was never shopping this co. again! I hope they go under...they certainly don't deserve to stay in business the way they treat customers, where all they care about is the 'bottom line$$'.....I will spread the word as to their HORRIFIC DELIVERY PRACTISES and not even caring to fix the issue! read more

So good , better than we anticipated. Great friendly service lots of great options. It was our anniversary they gave us a chocolate dessert!

I love the atmosphere! It was so bright and open. I found it entertaining to look at the score, but not overwhelming. Our server Scarlett was helpful and friendly. The fried pickles weren't as good as I would have liked, because the batter was too thick, but my 11 thought they were great! They were brought out quickly. The dinner was as well. We all liked the biscuits, nice and buttery. The batter on the okra was much lighter than the pickles and much better! My burger patty really needed some seasoning as did the grits and fries. Hubby's steak was season well. I really want to like the food much more than I do! Service, atmosphere and cleanliness were so on point! The food is just not that great. read more

Jazelle was our server today and she did a phenomenal job. One of the best servers I have had in quite some time.

My daughter's family and I had lunch at the Cracker Barrel in Bakersfield today. We had a great server by the name of Alexandria. She did a great job, bringing us the great food that they served. It was very clean and felt very welcoming in the restaurant. I recommend this restaurant to others looking for a good meal in Bakersfield. Thanks again, Alexandria for your great service. read more

The food was delicious. My server was very sweet and talkative. She had a very inviting personality and made eating alone an enjoyable experience. I love coming here. Never had a bad experience. Today was exceptional. Of course I didn't get her name. Blonde and a jack of all trades. Even carpentry! And who can hate the ambiance? One would have to be a total idiot if they ever decided to take the decor down... read more

First time I had ever been to a Cracker Barrel and it is definitely the last. First off the service was terrible. My wife thought maybe it was because it was busy but you would think the place has been open for a few years (at least 5) so they would staff for the number of customers they have. Second, the food was worse than Denny's. If you are not better than Denny's give it up. Third, there were people from another table getting carried away with the people at the table next to us, banging into us and it was a mess. I would recommend ANY other place than this one. read more

This was our first ever time at CnB and it was overall good. Service was nice - and quick - but they didn't have soup (any soup) and also no Apple Strudel! Not something I'd consider normal given it was a Saturday night and their menu is not that extensive. read more

Can I just say how cute their store front is? The trinkets and other items they sell are super duper cute I want to buy them all! The interior design of the restaurant is very intentional, specific and interesting. Love the vibe! Service is amazing. Servers are mostly friendly, welcoming and attentive. The place is also pretty organized and clean. We've been here 2-3 times already and loved every experience we've had so far. On to the food, we got a couple things: Chicken on the side - their chicken's portion size was huge. The chicken was delicious, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Oreo Stuffed Cheesecake Pancakes were to die for if you have the sweetest tooth like I do. Love the food and vibe here. Highly recommend it! read more

Man, I use to eat here back in the day. I gotta say that this place is going down hill. The "buttermilk pancakes" were so dry and the hash browns were barely cooked.

What can I say that hasn't already been said in other reviews? I really wanted to like Cracker Barrel, but it just didn't hit for me. The food was pretty meh...kind of greasy and nothing really stood out. Service was also below par, not terrible but definitely not great either. Even the little store inside (which is actually pretty cool to walk through) lost some of its charm because the checkout experience wasn't welcoming at all. Overall, just a "meh" experience across the board. I wanted to love it, but it just didn't deliver. read more

Maya greeted us with a smile and willing to assist. The biscuits and cornbread were delicious. The catfish was tasty and delicious. The two sides of rice and coleslaw were average. The rice was hard to chew and the coleslaw did not taste fresh. The meatloaf was burnt on the edges but the mashed potato and gravy with corn was just right. The music was great stuff. We went during an off time so the music column was perfect. We were rocking to the music. read more

The food came out fast the server was kind and attentive. As much as she could be, she seemed pretty busy. Although there were things I was impressed with such as their cool Shop at the entrance. And the kind service. The food was unfortunately not great. We order a campfire dinner which is good for two, the chicken was tender but nothing great. We also ordered a chicken sandwich with fries also not great. But would honestly come back for the shop! read more

On June 4, 2026 I went to this Cracker Barrel on our way to Stockton with my family. We usually enjoy going to Cracker Barrel and this was our second time at this location. Consequently, this time we had a negative experience, the waitress for some reason, stereotyped us since we were the only Hispanic/mexican people in the restaurant and gave us the most subpar service ever. Not sure why she did this, we weren't disrespectful, we were loud or obnoxious. But she didn't attend to us, the manager had to come and serve us and the other employees had brought our food, then for refills the manager had to come out again to attend to us. The waitress we walk by our table ignore us, she throw the straws and our table as if we were at Dicks last resort, we ask her for refills, only heard one person before she attend another table where she joke and laugh and stayed standing there for 5/6 minutes. Other table asked for refills and she was flying out. I racism was dead, but she clearly showed it was alive and well, thank God for the manager who saved the good reputation that Cracker Barrel holds. read more

Took a long time for our food to come out. We ordered 4 things altogether. They biscuits and corn bread (complimentary) were cold and hard. The bacon in the salad was bad. The turkey was warm. The fried chicken was warm. I guess the food was ready, but our waitress didn't bother to check. She even asked, "Y'all didn't get your food yet?!" Well, unless I can go to the kitchen myself. Anyhow, this location is a 1 star. read more

Ordered the Grandpa's Fried Steak Breakfast with fried apples, and it was perfect. The fried steak was tender, crispy on the outside, and seasoned just right. It paired so well with the creamy gravy, which was rich but not overwhelming. The fried apples were a sweet and tangy side that complemented the savory steak beautifully. They were warm, perfectly spiced, and had that fresh-off-the-stove taste. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere had that cozy, rustic vibe that makes you feel right at home. If you're looking for a solid, satisfying breakfast that reminds you of classic Southern comfort, Cracker Barrel is the place to be. Highly recommended. read more

The ambiance was very old school farm country. As you walk in it has a little store. If you go to the left you can see the person waiting to help you get seated. The service was good. Nothing bad but also nothing that stood out. The food was good. Nothing fancy about it. Was a little salty for my liking. The fried chicken was very good , that was the best part . Very well made.

We always stop here on our way to Arizona. The service is quick and friendly. The Country Store is always a hoot- trip down memory lane. Food is quick and hot, and a good deal for a pit stop along a roadtrip. Hubs usually gets the Grandma's Sampler with Pancakes. The pancakes are always AH-mazing. The edges are just slightly crispy and their butter and syrup are fantastic. My go-to is the Egg Sandwich. Simple and easy on a traveling tummy. For my side I love their Hashbrown casserole. read more

Their food isn't the healthiest, but that isn't why you come here. This is the ultimate comfort food. Their fried chicken is second to none. Great crispiness and well seasoned. Mac n cheese is creamey and delicious. My wife loves the chicken and dumplings. The meatloaf has green peppers in it, which turns me off, and their special Louisiana shrimp and rice serving size was surprisingly small and needed more sauce. They have a fun rustic atmosphere and the service is usually great. read more
