Ok, I am not very picky when it comes to restaurants, but this place is horrible. I ordered chicken and dumplings. Dumpling aren't supposed to squelch when you bite them! They were like long, thick strips of pasta! The chicken was good but barely any was put in. I shared biscuits and Mac and cheese with my mom and sister. The biscuits were mediocre and the Mac and cheese was bland. My sister ordered chicken strips. Now, you would think that you can't mess up chicken strips, but we were mistaken! The service was not very good. The waitress barely smiled at us. The only good thing I can say is that the gift shop was good. The ambiance was fine. I think everyone pretty much knows what the Cracker Barrel's ambiance is. Overall, I don't recommend!! read more

Fond memories. Current meh... smaller plates. Bland taste... stale service... better options.

Sarai was wonderful the best service ever. We will be back and tell friends and family because of her wonderful service. thank you.

Five star preview review for the crew at this location. I put in an advance order this afternoon for food tonight... turns out it was way in advance. I got the day wrong on the app and that's my bad. The manager and entire staff offered to cook the meal on the spot, 15 minutes before closing, which doesn't happen in other restaurants/towns. I already know their chicken is delicious and am looking forward to tomorrow night. This has nothing to do with their logo drama or any of that static. Just a good place with good people who deserve a shout out. read more

My dinner was special tonight... The highlight however was not the atmosphere, the food, the drinks, nor the quirky gift shop. No... the highlight of my dinner tonight was my server, Andrew. He was single handedly the only thing that has mattered about my life until this moment. In fact, the hope of going on at all wasnt even a consideration for me. But meeting Andrew changed all that. His simple smile, the kindness in the way he said, "what do YOU want?", and the way I could tell his apron hadn't been cleaned nor ironed in the last 4 months made me feel like I wasnt the only person who felt the way I did. But then that feeling left me. As I looked into Andrew's cold eyes, I could tell that they too had been fading. The light that once must have shown brightly across his welcoming face, was dying... and perhaps he too with it. I could feel just in the few moments that I was with him that these would possibly be his last moments... here at the 'Barrel. The 'Barrel had brutalized and drained this poor soul of all desire to carry on. The strange salad bar side work, the grotesque tea cleanings, the microwave radiation, and endless, Oh How Endless WHITE GRAVY TRIBULATIONS must have drove him to his end. Tonight was his end. His final moments. As I crammed what I could of my pancakes and crafted coffee down my grateful gullet, I wished that Andrew's soul would be released.... If any of you had been touched by the suffering of Andrew as I have been, please pray for his escape... and for him to never return. R.I.P. Andrew's time at the Gravy Store. read more

I had a bacon cheese burger it wasn't cooked and greasy i wouldn't recommend this place to eat

The food is not good, service is terrible. The eggs taste like plastic, the sausage is not actual sausage definitely some beyond meat. Biscuits and gravy came in a basket, the gravy tastes like day old bacon with some plastic melted into it... Had to ask multiple times for silverware, straws and condiments. Our server was rude and rushing us to order. If i could give this place negative stars i would. read more

They food is totally amazing and resembles grandmas home cooking. It's so Very Yummy And delicious read more

First the food was amazing me and my family all enjoyed the food. The service was top notch while the food did take a while, our waitress was so kind and patient. The environment was great, people were friendly. read more

So place was half empty was told 25 minutes to wait due to not having enough servers and no busing staff. I waited and it was around 10 minutes. All staff were friendly and fod come out in its normal time. One could hear lots of words being exchanged from the back between kitchen staff and servers. Location was great near freeway and next to hotel that were were staying at. read more

We were seated quickly by a friendly hostess. Our server was Kitawna L. She was fabulous. Professional yet sociable and friendly. All of the food was cooked to perfection and we never felt rushed even though it was a busy time for them. The bathroom was very clean. The decor was what we expected, which is always old fashioned but fun. We highly recommend this restaurant. read more

10/06/21 My husband spotted Denny's down the street but I missed the turn and as I was getting ready to make a u-turn, I spotted Cracker Barrel. I convinced him to eat here, instead. No regrets. It would be our very first experience and I've got to say that we were so impressed. Terry waited on us. He was as good as they get, in the restaurant industry. We were seated right away and although our food took awhile to be served, we weren't in a hurry and in fact enjoyed the extra time to just sip on our coffee and take in the beauty of this restaurant. It was about 12 noon and I ordered lunch and my Husband breakfast. Well, you can't really mess up pancakes and eggs so no problem with that. I ordered the Pot Roast with mashed potatoes and gravy. This has been long coming as we had walked out of Dixie's Diner a few nights ago in Idaho. LOL! This was what I craved then and still hadn't gotten over it. Problem solved as Terry served me the best Pot Roast and Gravy I've ever had in my life. 5 STARS for TERRY and this CRACKER BARREL LOCATION in BILLINGS, MONTANA read more

Food was good, service was not great at all. We would return only because the food is affordable.

The order was ready on time but incomplete. We ordered a country fried steak plate with turnip greens, fried okra and pinto beans and a 4 veggie plate with a loaded baked potato, fried okra, turnip greens and mac n cheese. Both plates were supposed to include biscuits. So the turnip greens were ok, a little too smoky. The country fried steak was ok. The fried okra was good as were the pinto beans. The Mac n cheese was awesome, probably the best thing of all. But we didn't get ANY biscuits! Of course we didn't discover that until we got the order back to our hotel. read more

Been traveling and Cracker Barrel is always a great place to take a leisurely break. Love Cracker Barrel no matter where we go The Southern Country cooking is always at its best. The have a great menu to choose from and the country store is always a novelty to browse. We've picked up a few treasures there over the years. Thank You Cracker Barrel my wife and I appreciate you read more

The food was amazing! Took us only 5-10 minutes to I get our food and it tasted great. Definitely recommend if you want some all day breakfast. read more

Super friendly and accommodating staff (in the shop and the restaurant). Jennifer, my server was fabulous and totally on top of it! The chicken was a little to salty for me, but I loved the mashed potatoes and gravy (I tried both the white and brown gravies) and the green beans were delish. Very clean as well. read more

Great food and menu Service is usually good, but today was outstanding Quick, especially my last visit The ambiance is good, I wouldn't change it I try to pick a time of day not too busy but difficult to outguess read more

Just eh! Food not fresh or hot... sent back a couple of items. Ham, sausage dry and cold, pot roast?? That was pot roast!? No flavor, more like beef soup, but blah. Server was great and apologetic. Not up to Cracker Barrel standards. read more

We love the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store!!! I always find a unique item to take home with me. We actually make it a habit of stopping to in to the local Cracker Barrel in every town we visit when traveling. The restaurant is consistent. We've never really had a bad meal. Service can be a hit or miss, but we tend not to sweat the small stuff. read more

Value and service make this 5 stars. Yummy candy in the way out is a bonus. Yelp sucks making me go 85 letters.

Typical chain restaurant, but we know that it's consistent. Not much of a wait and service was about average. We usually ask for the biscuits ahead of time and didn't even make it through a whole biscuit before the meal came. I got the shrimp with mac n'cheese and fried apples (an interesting palette combination), and my dad got the country fried chicken, house salad, green beans, and mashed potatoes and gravy. The gravy was so good that I kept dipping my shrimp in it. (The shrimp meal actually comes with 3 sides, but that would've been too much and I'm glad I got just the two. Thought we still had been charged for the 3 sides, but the price was reflected correctly). The store had everything from squirrel statues to Christmas to Montana Grizzlies fleece. read more

We arrived at 8pm, they close at nine. We could tell that staff was ready to go home. They were friendly, but were a little impatient with customers that came in after us. read more

Ordered the eggs Benedict to go. Got home and discovered no hollandaise sauce on the benny, so sad

The only high point was the waitress. We eat here often and today the quality is way down. The gravy was thick and pastry, and if not for excess salt, tasteless. The hash browns were a gooey pile of cheese and parts of potatoes. The bisquits were dry and falling apart. We will not stop here again. read more

this Cracker Barre, like most, was great. great service! coffee never down more then half. if you can sit in Kenzie F section, awesome waitress!! read more

My husband, Gary, ordered takeout. They said 5 to 10 min. He walked over, waited 39 min asking twice if his order was ready. It was waiting in the window all this time because his his name was spelled "Gray" FOOD COLD! read more

My family and I have made this a consistent stop when visiting Billings and are disappointed to say this will no longer be the case. When entering in the store, my husband was blocked by a staff member pushing an inventory cart as we made our way to the hostess station and treated very rudely. No comments were made (eg excuse me, etc.) just dirty looks and impatient body behavior. When we finally reach the hostess station, we greet her with a "Hi, how are you doing?" and instead of getting a response she looks up at us in silence and says to us just say Hi, not how are you doing with major attitude. As we stand there dumbfounded, she then proceeds to tell us it will be a 20 minute wait because there's plenty of tables but not enough cooks. So instead of sitting us - she'd rather we stand and wait. Needless to say, we left and probably won't be returning to one of our previous favorite destinations ever again here in Billings. #plentyofattitudenotenoughcustomers read more

4 of us went there for breakfast, very poor food preparation, $2.59 coffee order3 got charged for 5. One pay station, took forever to get issue resolved for the coffee over charge. Many people in line coming and going crowded, very poor situation for COVId-19 issue. I won't be back read more

Our server was the best! She was prompt to help us and went above and beyond what was expected of her, all with a smile! The food was served quickly and hot and tasted great. The store had a great atmosphere and was fun to wander around. All of this was as it was close to closing time, and despite our offers to just get it to go, they insisted that it wasn't an issue to serve us. Overall, a great first impression and I would definitely come again. read more

Thank Gawd for Cracker Barrel... Fun Fact #1: They're open on Thanksgiving! Fun Fact #2: But there is a 2.5 hour wait if you wanted a table on Thanksgiving... My colleagues and I flew into Billings on Thanksgiving Day for "business". Not much is open, and Denny's is just gross. Luckily the bosses had called into Cracker Barrel a few days in advance to order up a ginormous buffet of turkey, ham, stuffing, mash potatoes, cornbread, biscuits, veggies, and bunch of other stuff. Though it took some time to get it from the restaurant to the hotel, they packed the food in such a way that it was still very hot and tasty upon arrival. I'm not sure how much it all costs, but Cracker Barrel has very affordable prices in general. read more

Had breakfast there this morning. Scrambled eggs came out runny. The server was very good about making it right and got some new ones. They were done, but full of egg shells. Then I read a few minutes ago that the Cracker Barrel chain has gone WOKE! Never eating there again! read more

This place is clean and family friendly. The staff was very nice and the food was outstanding. The pancakes in my breakfast where some of the best I have ever had. My wife bragged on the chicken pot pie. read more

We ordered 3 to go Thanks Giving Feast meals. It was not a last minute order and was placed 24 hrs in advance. Picking the meals up was the start - you had to drive up to the back of the restaurant where the dumpsters and garbage cans are to pick up the to go order. Disgusting. Upon arriving home with our 3 meals the first thing I noticed is that there was no Pumpkin Pie. So I called the manager about it. She stated we ran out and there are no substitutions so you are out of luck. Since when if a restaurant runs out of something you already paid for you don't replace it with something else or offer a discount on the meal?? I opened up our meals and there was only 1 slice of turkey in our meals. The sweet potatoes were runny and tasteless , green beans tasted like canned beans and the stuffing was soggy and tasteless. The rolls must have been sitting for days as they fell apart like croutons . The cranberry sauce was in a plastic condiment holder which could not fill a thimble. It made a good meal for my dogs as I refused to eat it, except for the 1 slice of Turkey.. Which was about a 1/2 slice of the Costco turkey lunchmeat .. Costco tasted better... We won't be back ever! It was hands down the worst meal of my life and poor customer service !! read more

Visited on Friday with 2 friend for lunch. Server very gracious and kind. Food was terrible. Their "homemade" vegetable soup definitely was not!!! Canned Veg-all in a tomato juice ! Was disgusting! When I inquired was told it was definitely homemade! No substitute offered, no deduction from bill. Learned CB is suffering sane malady as many restaurants, no staff. read more

Ronda my wife, God rest her shoulder, and me. Always. and Forever will Love the Cracked barrel. We would always go and get some coffee every sinew morning and get eggs and grits before getting surgery liver and the almond butter rye toast. This was the highlight to every single week and the thing that we bonded over the most, we loved the decor, waiter and waitresses so much that we would leave a tip of $17.76 god bless bless america. it reminds me of my favrotit musical Hamilton! Such as brave man who doesnt get recognition for starting this great county of mine. 5 stats read more

Never ate dinner at a Cracker Barrel, usually a breakfast stop... So this was new for me. The hostess was friendly and sat me fast, and the waitress, even though the place was packed, was there just as fast to get my drink order. I got the chicken fried steak dinner, (I think they called it a country fried steak), with mashed, baby carrots and cheese grits. My dinner was great, everything from the chopped steak, potatoes and carrots tasted fresh and was hot. The cheese grits.... Amazing! An outstanding dinner for about $10. read more

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - Cheese grits - American Near Me - Billings, Montana

We walked in and were seated right away. We were seated in a section that was extremely cold. The manager walked by, my husband asked if there was another section that we could be moved to that wasn't as cold. She was extremely rude, told him no. He asked if the fans could be turned down she said no they're either on or off and they have to be on because of the smoke. She did turn them off in our section. I was able to see into the kitchen from where I was seated, she was in the kitchen in a sleeveless shirt, hair down, scratching her head and talking on the phone. She turned around and messed with some things coming out of the oven. She was rude to her staff as well. Our waiter was great and the food is good. The manager needs to be retrained in how to treat people, and in food safety. read more
