I haven't visited this Cracker Barrel in a very long time. It's a cool little place to shop and find unique gifts and boutique items. The servers and all of the people working at this location are great. The parking lot looked full, but inside there were plenty of tables. I have always liked the old time charm and decor of the Cracker Barrel restaurants. Just not the food. I ordered eggs over medium, and they were easy - whites were not quite cooked all the way. I did not care for the bacon at all. Not sure where they get the bacon, but I just did not like the flavor. It was cooked ok. The biscuits were great! I ordered the cinnamon apples because I did not want the cheesy hash brown casserole they server. Some people might like this, but I just like plain old hash browns. But the server brought out the hash brown casserole instead, I let her know I ordered the apples and she quickly brought out a dish of the cinnamon apples and I just left the hash browns on the plate and did not eat them. I would say the best part of the meal was the biscuits. They were fresh and hot. But I won't visit Cracker Barrel mainly because I don't like the food. If you like Cracker Barrel food this establishment is a good one to visit, the service is good and the place is clean. read more

Poor service, came with a Party of 10 for mothers day, you'd figure this would be a $250-$300 table before tax and tip so ideally there would be a little urgency on this table. We asked for a high chair on 4 different occasions with 4 different people all ignored me and didnt follow up with status, took approximately 30 minutes to receive after asking for manager to express my concerns. Unprofessional and inconsiderate. Requested to sit for a party of ten but instead we were sat in a part of "five times two", where our party couldn't sit together and enjoy mothers day , but instead had to not speak to each other because of the distance, or stare at each others backs since of the seating arrangements we didn't request. Parents and children couldn't sit together cause of arrangement, it was pretty much a S Show. Additionally, waiter took approximately 20 mins to come to take our initial order, and all the wait staff were milling around in clusters talking in groups while we were waiting to be seen. African American lady next to me claimed she waited 20+ minutes to be seen by the waiter. Finally waiter came and randomly asked "are you being attended to", basically telling us nobody has been assigned to your table. To sum up the rest of the experience, Ticket time was below average (slow), took approximately 30 mins, ordered waters with lemon on the side, lemons came in the waters. Smh. When i asked for a manager at the podium/wait area to avoid not make a scene at the table to help with our seating arrangements, manager came to table and basically implied that i am complaining (in front of the whole table and other guests/ embarrassing) and "sorta-kinda" said we cant sit together because wheelchair reasons eventhough another party of 10 was well accommodated before our visit and after our visit. This whole thing caused a huge scene in which could of been avoided if they sat us down appropriately to our request of a party of 10 and provided us a high chair upon our first request; or better yet simply acknowledge you can't accommodate us before dissapointing us after the fact. Poor systems, management, customer service, and situational awareness. Its hard enough as a person of color to give cracker barrel a try for the first time, i will never ever go again, didnt feel welcome nor appreciated for bringing a $250+ ticket there for poor service and average food. read more

Terrible experience. There was a long wait time for the food to come out, and the food was not fresh; the pancakes tasted burnt and my order was wrong. I did tell the waitress about it, but I advised her not to correct it since the kitchen was taking forever to put food out. It was not busy, but I think whoever was cooking was rushing orders and didn't care about how they came out. This was the worst experience I've had at a Cracker Barrel. When I advised the waitress, Norma, that this was the worst visit, she mentioned it to the manager on duty, Dina, but Dina didn't want to come to our table. That is terrible coming from a manager. If you're going to be running a restaurant, it doesn't matter if it's closing; you should show you care about the customers and handle the issue. This is not great management, and the district manager or whoever is in charge should know about stuff like this. I don't think it's right when food isn't fresh or is overcooked and the manager doesn't care. Overall, it was a experience with terrible service. My waitress did show me my ticket to prove that she took my order properly, but the kitchen just sent it out wrong. Ambiance was chill . read more

02.19.25 stopped by this place this morning for breakfast. seams like this time was a bust. had a waitress that hardly spoke english, nor understood what i was ordering, had to repeat it a couple times, she seemed a bit over whelmed as well, after ordering, i noticed that another table was sat near me, and they ordered their food, and for some reason, they got their drinks and food before my table did, and the other table had more people sitting. once i got my order, what was suppose to be bacon, was sliced ham, and once i brought that to her attention, she said they are out of bacon, so i asked if i could have more sausage links or patties instead, then she returns back with bacon,... i dont know whats going on. also the mimosa was served with sour orange juice full of pulp, which you're not suppose to do, found out that the hard way, as later my stomach was churning. this place is normally good, i know next time, if they sit me with that waitress, i will definitely ask for someone else. read more

We were staying in the hotel behind Cracker Barrel. After a long day of travel we walked over and had dinner. Service was fast and friendly. I had the country fried steak with fries, coleslaw and fried apples. Also had the peach cobbler for dessert (it was my birthday). Everything was spot and very tasty. My wife had the spicy grill catfish, loaded sweet potato and fried apples. She said it was good and liked what she got. We definitely recommend Cracker Barrel!!!! read more

Gave them a second chance. They were not busy. Sat there for 10-15 minutes without any waitress even acknowledging us. Ten walked by avoiding eye contact. We finally left without getting food. It had the ambience of a prison cafeteria. read more

Very Affordable and surprisingly good, great service, attentive waitress, extremely fast food service. Relaxed Dining surroundings and Country Feeling from the decor. read more

I feel like this place should probably get a 2.5. It's very average and nothing special. The service was not good, and the food seemed like it was sitting out for hours. I felt like I was eating leftovers. I do think everything tasted OK. I just won't be going back anytime soon due to the price for food that is not fresh. In the past, I would get cornbread. This time, I was only given biscuts, and I had to wait on them until the main portions arrived. The biscuts were tasty. My partner enjoyed the steak and egg casserole. I would rather go to a waffle house over this place because you know the food will be fresh. read more

We went to the restaurant at about 3:30 on a Sunday, Mother's Day. They were not busy at the time we were sat at our table. We waited for about 10 minutes or so before anyone acknowledged us. Finally a waitress came, she did not introduce herself, she just commented "she was not our waitress but saw us waiting and took our drink order." After about another 5 minutes or so a lady came and said she was our waitress and did not know her section was sat anybody. She again took our drink order. We told her we were ready to order. I mean after sitting for atleast 15 minutes you would think we knew what we wanted to eat. It probably took another 30 minutes or so to get our food. Some of the food was hot and some of it was cold. During this time our waitress also got seated a large party. From that point on she totally ignored us. My husband ask for a refill and she never brought it. During this time a table of 3 ladies got sat. Multiple waitresses walked right past the table and never acknowledged them either. They finally got up and walked out. The bad part about the whole situation is that there were 3 managers standing by the fireplace chit chatting and never once noticed the slow and nonexistent service. We will not be going back to this location any time soon. read more

Dined in for one during lunch hour, and I will say the restaurant was packed and full of everyone trying to dine in for lunch. Thankfully, you can get seated pretty quickly as a party of one, which I did by the hostess Heather. Unfortunately, I got a waitress that still needed a lot of training even though her apron stated she had been there five years. I ordered the Grandma's Sampler with pancakes, and hash brown casserole as the side. I was so surprised how quickly the food came out and how fresh it tasted. The downside? The waitress I had nearly spilled water on me, and also spilled water on another table while I was dining in. I also overheard her stating that she gave a party the wrong ticket so I had to double check when paying to make sure I had my ticket. Ambiance was pretty crowded and restroom could use a little cleaning. Overall, it was a great quick and easy dining experience, but I feel like they could do better training their wait staff. You shouldn't have to worry about having drinks spilled on you while dining in. read more

Service was bad . Was rushing us from the time we got there . And it was not close to closing it was like 6:00 pm Then asked what side we would like with our food . To find out it did not come with a side a shot charged extra $3.10 for the side read more

our server was very rude! i try to be considerate of people at their jobs, but this was unacceptable. i got charged for something i was told was included in the meal, and i never even received it. once the check came i tried to get the price taken off and the only person who was helpful was the young girl at the very front of the store. a lot of room for improvement! food was also very underwhelming. read more

Food was horrible! First, brought hubby breakfast plate with burnt sausage. Requested fresh sausage. Server asked me to put the burnt sausage in a napkin and she would take it to the kitchen. Server brought out fresh sausage and it was acceptable. Next, the pancakes. I've had fluffier flour tortillas than these pancakes. And no flavor whatsoeve! The menu selections have changed and you no longer get has browns with your meal. Everything is an upcharge. Today is my last time to ever eat there. read more

Food was good. Server was great. I came from out of town and stopped by and the service was top tier compared to other restaurants around. Will definitely be back. read more

I had the chicken fried chicken. It was really good. Loved the white gravy. I appreciate the cleanliness of the woman's room.

Food is terrible and quality has went down. Not the food and service from 10 years ago. It started going down hill back then. Only thing keeping this place alive was the gift shop that the ladies liked. Go Woke Go Broke may be the main reason. C B has disconnected from their main customer base that pays the bills. read more

The service was fine but the food was not worth the price. My husband and I both got the fried fish. We asked for extra crispy and of course we got soggy fish. I even made sure the waitress understood very extra crispy but that request wasn't followed through somewhere. I had originally wanted chicken and dumplings, they had dumplings but no chicken! How do you not have chicken? Then when our fish came out my husband asked for tartar sauce. Nope! They had no tartar sauce but it's advertised with the fish. This is something that should have been conveyed upon ordering the fish. Most people eat fish with tartar sauce! Very disappointed in how Cracker Barrel is going downhill. We will never be back. Too many other restaurants around for a family of 4 to eat at for $82! You've lost our business. read more

This restaurant can really use an expansion of the diner sitting area. It's just too small for the multitude of crowds. Especially for the weekends. Not everyone has the availability of signing in on line. read more

We have been to this Cracker Barrel several times and never had a problem. But this will be the last time it took about an hr to get our food, fine I get it but to bring out our food and the hash brown casserole to be stale the eggs looked old the sausage patties burnt!!! No thank you, didn't eat anything only the taste of the casserole. Left everything asked only to be charged for our drinks. read more

Bathroom 5/5: Average. Located outside of the restaurant in the store. Dining Area 5/5: The dining area was spacious--with plenty of tables and seating. I've never had to wait to be seated. Even on busy days there always seems to be a table available. Throughout the dining area, you'll find old artifacts that really bring out the history of Cracker Barrell Old Country Store. Customer Service 5/5: Everyone I've had was pleasant from the host to the cashier. Food/Drinks 4/5: I don't recommend the chicken fried steak or the fried okra. The fried okra was soft and the chicken fried steak tasted like standard processed food. I do recommend breakfast items. The pancakes are so da*n good! You get A LOT OF FOOD so come hungry. Also, I love their sweet tea. Each time I was satisfied with my iced tea order. Price 5/5: You get a lot of food for the price. They take Apple Pay. Vibe 5/5: It's a nice little family-style country restaurant. They've been around a long time. It's a mixed and diverse crowd. Overall 29/30: I'll definitely keep coming back but not for the fried okra or chicken fried steak. read more

Date of visit: March 15, 2025; Around 6:00 pm. Group of about six. This was the worse food I remember ever having at an eating place. I went with friends and they all had chicken and either dumplings or noodles and they liked their food. I had undesirable chicken fried steak which was flavored oddly for Texas, fried okra which lacked salt and pepper, and turnip greens which were so terrible I couldn't eat them. My Diet Coke was bad. I think the fountain for the drinks needed washing. The waitress was unprofessional, took too long taking our orders, and was not very personable. She may have been new. She was young and I hate to criticize her. When she brought us our meals she served them from one end of the table and we had to pass them down. All the while our food was being handled by every one else. read more

Stopped for breakfast. Food was not hot, grits was so runny I needed a spoon. The biscuit was good. Won't be back

Been dining here over the years and the restaurant has always had a charm, the food has been great, and service was thorough. The last few visits the food & service has not been the best & up to Cracker Barrel Standard. Options on the menu feel limited, especially for people with dietary restrictions. I feel the quality in the kitchen has gone down. The coffee tasted stale, went to bucees for a proper quality cup. I should have made breakfast at home, I just wanted the experience, now I know where I wont be going. I miss the old Cracker Barrel. read more

So I had left a customer review not too long ago regarding having issues trying to order Thanksgiving dinner for my company through the store and the catering department I had complained because I had a hard time doing it and it was because they were so busy and now I know why. Except for the gravy that was a little strange though some people liked it the food was excellent. It was delicious. the people who delivered It just did a fantastic job when they set it up very kind and very polite and joyful people. Can we now talk about the perfect mashed potatoes and macaroni cheese to die for? This mac & cheese came with bacon, but it didn't even need it. It's very good on its own with the noodles slightly al dente perfectly and such creamy cheese. I think we served a lot of more of that then normal lol. And though all the pies were fantastic, everyone loved the cinnamon roll pie. Yes, you read that right? It's a thick pie crust with cinnamon rolls baked inside of it. I love the spiral ham that they served which to me is truly what the holidays are about when it comes to ham. We got so many many five star and 10 thumbs up from the The associates at the site. Thank you Cracker Barrel and the GM and a manager name Dee along with Kari from catering that made all of this happen. My son would be proud if he was still here on earth to know about this.:) read more

Very bad services since they have checked us in on the waiting list for around 20 minutes but then we had waited 30 minutes and was told that our name wasn't on the list and we need to have our name get on the waiting list again. That's ridiculous. The manager should have handle the situation more professional and reasonable rather than told us to get back on the waiting list again (long waiting line). We supported your restaurant almost every week and this is how your restaurant treated us. We are very disappointed and will definitely stopped going there. Your restaurant isn't the only one in town, if your people make a mistake, oks accept and fix it. Don't blame on the system that got malfunction and make us accept your mistake. Very unprofessional and rude. read more

We chose this restaurant because we hadn't been in a while and were on our way into Houston and wanted to avoid traffic delays. We were seated immediately. The hostess was seating parties side by side in the middle section nearest the hostess station. After about 15 minutes of reviewing the menu and another party seated right beside us, the waitress went to their table first. Unacceptable seating and service! Will stick with our local CB in the future. read more

The food was delicious, the service was outstanding. First time in a long time we were greeted with warm smiles. Nice and clean tables, and restrooms. read more

When you want a home cooked meal, a good choice is Cracker Barrel. Came here stopping for lunch after leaving Beaumont early in the morning. In route back to Houston, I decided to stop here. It was either this place or Carrino's which lets face it--if you don't want chicken or pasta, doesn't really provide too much variety. Decided to stop here instead because I knew they'd have something I could eat at a bargain. I'm writing this review amist the Covid19 pandemic, and it was still packed at lunch. There was hardly a table available from what I saw. However, I didnt have to wait and was seated immediately since it was only me. Groups of 4 or more may have had to wait, but the waitress I saw working mulitples sections of tables was waiting on customers as fast as possible. I definetly left a tip for her service for which she was quite attentive, got my order in and out right away and came and checked on me for whatever I needed while I dined. I do think it is ridiculous to charge $1.99 for hushpuppies and ended up getting a bigger plate instead of a lunch selection since it would have cost about the same price. Plus, I would get an additional side, which I decided would be a mixed salad to take to go. The waitress obliged, bringing me my salad in a bag to go along with extra biscuits and butter. Decided to look at the salad and saw that this mixed salad was just lettuce-- well a few cucumber slices, but no carrots, cheese, croutons... nada! I asked the waitress about the tomatoes on the salad and she informed me they had ran out. I wish I would have known this prior to ordering the salad! That's my only gripe. Otherwise, the food was delicious!!!!! First thing I tasted was the mac n cheese. I devoured it first before even touching my shrimp and turnip greens. I hadn't tasted good mac n cheese in a very loooong time. I would order both my sides as mac n cheese if I had known how delicious it was! Turnip greens were also very satisfying- not too greasy and meaty that you didnt know you had a vegetable. Shrimp had a nice breading and seasoning--hardly wanted or needed to use the cocktail sauce. Lastly, the biscuits....Ohhh MY Gosh! My carbs that day went insane because the biscuits were so fluffy, buttery, and melted in my mouth. I hadn't had homemade biscuits in so long and my tastebuds knew it and acted a fool! I ended up eating the extra biscuits when I got home! Terrible yes, but I really do NOT regret it. Most importantly, the employees despite being short handed from people calling in for work because of COVID19 were sincere, appreciative, and had outstanding customer service. Bathroom was even clean and had plenty of soap and paper towels to stay in CDC compliance. Thank you for the food and the customer service Cracker Barrel- a winner like a chicken dinner! read more

My first visit at a Cracker Barrel establishment and it was horrific. We were greeted by a gentleman at the door and he took down my boyfriend's name "Jesus" and we were told we'd receive a text and they'd call the name when we were ready. Great. We waited over 30 minutes and received no text and never heard the name "Jesus" so we went to check and the hostess gave horrible attitude to my boyfriend when she said she called his name on the speaker a few times (probably when we heard JOSE and not JESUS and we never received a text.) After waiting another 5 minutes, we hear over the mic "Jose party of 2" and we had to walk inside and tell her she's calling the wrong name so we don't know if it's us and she had the nastiest attitude toward me snd my boyfriend. Condescendingly and sarcastically says to the second hostess "this is JOSE and they need to be seated."Her attitude was absolutely disgusting and I never once said anything rude. She was so disrespectful. I asked to speak to the manager and I never got a visit from one to my table. If this is the kind of treatment Cracker Barrel gives their guests then this is the first and last time I spend money here. The food was average. Biscuits are the reason I gave two stars. The place is jam packed though. Please go to The Toasted Yolk instead!! read more

What happens when a roach runs across your table during breakfast? Nothing. Morning Manager John looks at you in disbelief, let's you know the exterminator was there the day before and barely apologizes. Obviously they didn't do their job correctly, which isn't surprising considering you don't know how to do yours. What's sad is that his staff was more apologetic than he was as a manager. So I give this place two stars because they have excellent wait staff who are nice, caring and show great customer service. But they also have roaches and managers who are jerks. Will not be returning. read more
