The breakfasts are always so consistently good. Friendly and quick seating even though the place was packed with extra people headed north for the eclipse. I had eggs over medium, bacon, hash brown casserole, and biscuits and gravy. My friend had similar except with French toast. The bacon was cooked perfectly! read more

Pretty average. Our waitress was really nice. The food was okay. The breakfast meat was really dry (except for the bacon which was excellent) and I feel like I got a small very crusty/dry side of hash brown casserole but I don't expect perfection from a chain. It just used to be a lot better a couple years ago. I will say the store always seems pretty clean and if the weather is cold they always have the fireplace going which we love. read more

Worst experience at a Cracker Barrel in my entire life. I've always visited this restaurant chain and I am beyond disappointed due to this location. The server named Parris rushingly took our order and then we didn't see her again without us having to try to get her attention when we would see her pass us. I asked for the hamburger steak with the mushrooms and brown gravy. I even made sure to clarify that it would be made the way I ordered and she nodded and walked away. Another person at my table ordered the grandma sampler and the server didn't inform us that they would up charge for having hash browns, not surprised from the absence of presence and communication by the server. After waiting a long time for the food to come out (while not seeing a single worker or server check on us and our drinks empty), they came out with the food wrong. I asked them to just take off my meal and I would pay for the other person at my table and leave. They had a lot of extra charges on the receipt. When going to pay, I asked to speak to a manager so that I could explain how terrible the experience was. I wasn't even able to eat the food I went there to eat. She was not apologetic or caring about the experience- just took off the extra sides from the meal. The manager, I believe named Kaylee, should have cared more about the failures of the restaurant. This is not a good place to eat at and I would strongly advise against coming here. read more

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - Front porch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Clarksville, Tennessee

We were here on Mother's Day at 6pm. This was probably the worst experience we have had at a Cracker Barrel. We eat at this location quite often for family diners due to location and good service. It was very obvious that our server was new, and while very polite, he was not trained very well. It also seemed that management did not have much experience, as the service for the entire restaurant was running very slow. We saw two tables leave before they had been acknowledged by a server. It was not very busy when we arrived, with many open tables, yet it took over an hour to get our food. One of our parties order was forgotten, another's entree salad was delivered without dressing. It took her about 10 minutes to get her dressing. Most of the food was overcooked or dry. We had to wait 30 minutes for drink refills after asking several times, and we never got more napkins after asking for them as well. Overall, a very disappointing visit. read more

Today lunch 4/16/2026, Presentation was terrible, literally thrown on the plate Turkey, dressing, gravy, sweet potato casserole. Have had better out of Banquet Frozen dinner. Sweet potato casserole was 2 pecans in mashed sweet potatoes running all over the plate. So far I would give it 1 out of 10. Waitress was very prompt and sweet. Bye read more

Service was good. Food was microwaved with frozen biscuits. I hear they are working to improve the food quality and it needs it

The lady's clean do not know how to sweep under the tables! They carry the dust pan around all the time and with every sweep the broom his the dust pan and makes a very loud pop! This gets very disturbing and hurts your ears. Sweep everything out in to one pile then use the dust pan. I even said something to our waitress, she agreed and told me she said something to the lady's about being so loud. read more

Be careful spending the money for the family meals from here on out. The tenders have drastically shrunk to nugget size and the family meal is no longer close to a value for a family of five. read more

The problem with the food is that it is hit and miss. One day good the next pretty bad. I get mine delivered and the packaging is very poor and usually missing items. I used to love this restaurant and when traveling would head to the nearest restaurant where I was too bad read more

Went for dinner at 7:00, not that busy. Waited 20 minutes for our food, lots of staff doing nothing. Lots of tables that needed to be cleaned. One table with 2 people left without ordering because no one came to them after waiting for a good 15 minutes. It was embarrassing to see so many dirty tables and a lot of staff not busy doing a job. read more

Very bland food. I had Southern Fried Chicken which was tough processed chicken with no bones or taste. The corn was straight out of a can. My wife had Fried Turkey Special which was tough with no turkey taste. The biscuits were very small and appeared once frozen. The service was traditional and good. Bottom line after years of loving Cracker Barrel, we're done. read more

The food is standard for a cracker barrel, and staff is typically really nice. Food takes a LONG time to get and they often forget sides. The main reason i'm giving it only 3 stars is because the handicap bathroom was completely flooded with brown water, upon letting staff know all they said was "we're aware". No sorry, no sign up, no indication they planned on trying to fix it. Really weird and disappointing way of handling the situation. read more

My God what total dog food. What happened to the once great Cracker Barrel. Located just off Exit 11 on I-24 Clarksville. Went in for dinner and what a massive mistake. Got seated and ordered Chicken and Dumplings, Okra, Turnip Greens and biscuits. For starters I think this chain is in its death throes. The bean counters have gotten ahold of this. #1. Got a tiny, 2 spoon full portion of mashed potatoes. Didn't even go over the top of the saucer it was in. #2, Chicken in the dumplings was SO TOUGH I had to spit it out. #3. The biscuits were rock assed hard and totally inedible. INEDIBLE! #4. 3 dumplings.... THREE. THE BROTH WAS LIKE WATER. Obviously stretching it as far as it would go. #5. The waiter never came back until we were done. No water refills, nothing. GOOD BYE CRACKER BARREL. KISS MY GRITS. read more

Most of my experiences at this Cracker Barrel ranged from good to excellent until I had the worst experience ever and was not able to empathize with the server & service after so many disappointments and utter carelessness. The only positive experience that day were the sides of green beans. They were perfectly cooked yet not enough to save the dinner. They were short of staff, and the server seemed to be in a bad mood. It was very overcrowded. I understand such dilemmas, since I have experienced such dilemmas as a server and full time college student working 3-4 jobs in the past. I ordered a medium rare steak with onions and gravy yet I received a well done steak with no onions and gravy. The server blamed the cook and offered no apology, compensation, or options to rectify the situation. These are procedures I would do as a server out of moral obligation and empathy. Instead she took the steak and came back with only onions and gravy. The wait for my next medium rare steak was long. I had eaten my three sides. We never got refills for our drinks. She brought back another steak that was rare NOT medium rare but I decided to eat it. As I sliced it in pieces a pool of blood gushed from the steak. I have eaten rare steak but it did not create a pool of blood like this steak did. It was flavorless and unappetizing. So many disappointments and the server never tried to really rectify the situation or refill our drinks. She did offer to get the manager. The manager only comped one of our drinks and the steak dinner. I was still hungry and settled for cheap ramen in our hotel room. We decided we would never come back to this restaurant again. read more

I am distraught with the inconsistency of this specific Cracker Barrel. I came in with the expectation of having a dashing meal of Eggs benedict as they call it "biscuit benny" to find out it is no longer apart of their menu. I decided to refrain from started disagreement with waiter and choose to order another meal and while it was not terrible, it came with scrambled eggs instead of fried eggs and no cheese. Bacon was palatable. read more

Went to Cracker barrel early supper. Got the meatloaf with mashed potatoes brown gravy and carrots. The meatloaf tiny and didn't look or taste right.The over cooked brown edge was not chewable. Weird texture as well. Not sure what it was made of. Gravy was like gel. potatoes were ok.Carrots had Weird taste as well. Worst meal ever. The other person had beans not much beans.just juice. His cornbread was way too brown . The meat he had was tough as well.The food was not warm. .So disappointing. Been going there for 20 yrs. Waitress was pleasant tho.But didn't go there for that. You want patrons to return to your Restaurant..won't happen with that kinda food. read more

The hubby and I decided to stop in last night since over the holidays we were given some gift cards to spend. For a Thursday night, it wasn't busy in the slightest, so because of that there should have been no reason why it took an hour for us to even be served our food. Our server was apologetic, and she informed us that the first batch of our chicken was "bad"?? So they had to start over. We both ordered the chicken tender platter, different sides. The sides and appetizers we were given were okay. The chicken??? ONE BITE and it was like biting into rubber. I spat it out, and started tearing each tender apart one by one. RAW!!!!! Each one, and my husband's as well. Are we kidding? I was so disgusted. We asked our waitress to comp our meals, paid for our appetizers, and we left. WE WONT BE BACK. It's so sad, we used to love coming here. GET A NEW CHEF, THEY DONT KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND THAT'S DANGEROUS. read more

Since the whole logo debacle this place has gone down hill. The menu is reminiscent of Dennys. Food is not as good. I just ordered grilled salad. I had to pick through to find any chicken. So sad read more

Stopped in while travelling from California. Came by initially on Saturday. Place was packed, no place to park. Came back on Sunday, not as crowded, and got seated right away. The food was good. I had the breakfast pancake tacos. New item on the menu. I enjoyed it. The atmosphere is casual, nice theme to the place and the store next to it is full of tourist items. A little bit of everything. We bought a couple of jars of blackberry preserves. Nice place. I would come back again. read more

We both ordered beef tips. Some were quite tough but the tender ones were delish. My broccoli was cold as was hash brown casserole. Congealed & crusty. Sent those back. Came back with perfect broccoli & worse casserole. DRY, crustier. Not at all the normal creamy delish casserole. My friends broccoli was perfect from the start as well as her mashed potatoes & gravy. Biscuits were flat, hard, over baked and not at all the normal flakey perfect biscuits. Cornbread was also hard, over baked & crusty/crunchy on outside. Very disappointing. Morgan the server was lovely. Food is usually perfect but last night...far from it. read more

Every time we go to Cracker Barrel we get seated fairly quickly. The staff is always so friendly and helpful and the food is always great.

I love Cracker Barrel, they always do a great job. But like everyone else, their portions are shrinking and the amount of entree you're getting is dwindling unfortunately. I got Roast beef this time and it looks like a decent portion, but it was very thin (meager). read more

Excellent food and service. Can't wait to go back someday. A great place in many ways

Always wanted to visit Cracker Barrel and when I finally was able to, I wasn't disappointed. I was amazed how quickly we were seated and the variety of food on the menus that are offered. The staff are very nice and knowledgeable when ask about menu items. The shop in front of the store is so cute with jams, candles and various other things. Will definitely be coming back again. read more

Horrible, came for lunch ! What a long wait to be sat over half hour with loud obnoxious noise once inside and with overcrowding at a small table for three of us , took forever to get cold food, my roast beef was fatty and small portions... huge price. Not enough butter or prompt refills had to ask mgr for butter . Nice cute gift shop but not worth the hype of this tv dinner type food from the 70's not coming in here again ! Clarksville location is a dump. Dirty bathroom out of stall no one checking it regularly. Be better not sure why the herds keep coming in here . read more

This food was horrible. Everything was under seasoned and tasted bland. I had the county fried steak and this may be on me but I think of chicken fried steak and country fried steak to be synonymous. You take a cheap cut of beef and tenderize it by cubing it and fry it like a you would a piece of chicken. The crust on this steak is not like fried chicken, the meat is not cube steak it's hamburger. The mashed potatoes were dry but the pinto beans were good. Over all just not a good experience. read more

I watched an employee, Brittany I believe, take cash that was left for the bill. Instead of taking it to the front counter to pay the ticket, she told management that they walked out. Pocketing the cash, she left a dishonest reputation for a paying customer. Don't leave cash with waitresses here, if you intend on keeping an honest reputation. read more

20 times when we stop here we have to wait maybe up to an hour. Today we were able to go ride in and have our seat. We started a little earlier it wasn't after church as we usually come. Our server's name was Olivia. She was outstanding. She went to great lengths to make sure we understood some of the changes to the new menu. She also made sure stop by our table to make sure everything was as it should be. There have been a few changes to the menu. For example you have to pay $.99 more if you want regular hashbrowns instead of the casserole. You also are unable to get an omelette. Still there is plenty of options still available and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. I have been very hard on this establishment however since Covid restrictions have eased they have made great strides to win customers back. read more

I'd give zero stars if I could. 1. 30 minutes to get drinks. Which were wrong. TWICE 2. Missing items on both plates. 3. No napkins. Had to get off another table that hadn't been cleared (we asked twice). 4. Pancakes wee so hard that they couldn't be cut and so cold that the butter wouldn't melt. 5. Scrambled eggs? Nope. Over hard and cut into slices: 6. Unsweetened tea...add sweetener. It's sweet. Ask for another. Get same. Just pass on to the next exit. This one ain't for you. read more

I thought a southern style breakfast at Cracker Barrel would be good. I ordered biscuits and gravy, and eggs, hash browns, and a side of sausage. The sausage... it was described as smoky, and it was. It didn't taste like breakfast sausage, but more like a patty of smoked sausage. I didn't like it personally, either alone or with the sausage gravy. Others there got a mix of breakfast and lunch items - they were mostly happy with their dishes. I'll remember to stick to lunch or dinner items in the future! read more

We were on our way back home after 2 days of driving. It was atound 2:30pm and we were hoping to get in and out in 45 mins or less and make it past Nadhville before their business traffic started. Cracker Batrel is usually pretty fast. We ended up walking out without our food because: 1. Server ignored us 2. Server sent another server over to ask if we were the ones who needed to order alcohol...uh no but we need to order food 3. Ordered our soft drinks but she forgot to bring my husband's. She brought drinks to a table who was seated after we were so we asked about my husband's drink and she finally brought his 4. We ordered, i told her how I wanted my eggs. Then she looked up, and as if I had not just told her, she asked, "how do you want your eggs"...again ignored us 5. She asked if we wanted biscuits or corn bread while we waited and we said biscuits. She brought corn bread. I asked why no biscuits and she said they were still making them....well then why offer them? 6. She brought food to people who were seated after us and had ordered after us...same ones who were served drinks before us. Inside, as I watched her bring platters of food out, I told myself, "if that goes to that other table, I'm walking out"....she dropped the platters off at that other table. We ended up being there for over an hour. 1 hour with only drinks and no refills...she never came back to check on our drinks. We called after we got on the road, and told them we had walked out and were told, "ok we'll tell the cook staff" hmmm?!?! The restaurant was not that busy and the manager was walking around. I regret not talking to the manager but we just wanted to get home and still had a 3.5 hr drive ahead of us. As we ran into heavy Nashville traffic, we said, "thanks Cracker Barrel for causing us to get stuck in traffic" read more

This place is always busy. Our group of six easily got a table early on a Friday morning. The waitress took our order quickly but then we waited a long time for our food. We had nothing special. I ordered the egg sandwich. It was a bit plain and could have used some cheese. We had to ask for a lot of items that should have been on the table like jam. One member of the group had to wait for his third pancake - kinda weird! Prices are ok certainly not as cheap as the Waffle House. Overall just ok. read more

Our food never came to our table while we were seated so much so that we ended up just leaving. The last time we were here, our food took about 45 minutes to come and was cold. We decided to give it another try, and it was the same situation this time with our food taking almost an hour and more if we'd stayed longer! It'll be a while before I revisit this location seeing that they're not able to deliver! read more

I never had a bad experience here. been going here for many years, the fiod us tasty and the service is on point!

This is the first cracker barrel I've been to that wouldn't seat you until your entire party was standing right in front of the hostess and then argue and be very rude about it. Then the food was cold and the bacon was very chewy even though it was cooked crispy. Only positive about this visit was the waitress, I left her a big tip. Cracker barrel overall has gone down hill these last few years. read more

Waited for 45 mins when they were very slow with few customers, save your money and go somewhere better.

We stopped going there just before Covid because of poor service. We recently came back for take out orders. Two of them. BOTH orders were completely messed up. They refused to fix them, and would not refund our money or give us a credit. The manager is horrible. Called our bank for our money back this time and they returned it to our account. Clarksville, TN location is horrible in EVERY way. Disgusting. read more

UPDATE: I'm adding a star. The restaurant manager, Chris, called me personally to address the issues. He apologized for the service, promised to address all of the staff, conduct some re-training and the corporate headquarters sent me a gift card. Disappointing Cracker Barrel Experience Service was good, but food and environment were disappointing. After being seated, I was promptly greeted by my server and made to feel welcome. While he was getting my drink order, I felt a draft and was getting cold. The table next to me was wearing a heavy coat and I had just taken my coat off. I noticed the ceiling fans were on and blowing a lot of air. When the server returned, I asked if he could turn the fans down or off and he said the restaurant has no control over the fans. Disappointed, I put my coat back on. I ordered the fried chicken dinner (4 pieces) with Mac and cheese and corn. After I got my meal and but into the chicken, I was again disappointed because it didn't taste fresh. In fact it tasted like it was pre-breaded and frozen and then fried several hours before I ordered it. It tasted like something I would get from under the heat lamp next to the cash register at a gas station. The max and cheese was ice cold and the corn had bits of green beans mixed in. When I was finished, I had almost as many scraps as pieces of chicken than I started with...from the thick, chewy breading and the bones...my plate was still full and I was still hungry. To top it off, my corn bread muffin was hard and chewy. The server finally remembered I asked for hot suave. Of my choices were Tabasco and Cholula. He brought the Cholula to my table and asked my "you wanted tobasco, right?" And handed me the Cholula. ‍ I've always been a Cracker Barrel fan, but this visit was a let down. I left cold, hungry and disappointed. read more
