Walked in the door at 7:40pm, was not busy and we were seated immediately. People came after us and got their food before us. I never have had this happen at Cracker Barrel before and I'm hoping it was just this location but we didn't get our food until after 8:45pm and we didn't not order anything crazy or special. We ended up taking the food to go at no charge because of how long it took and I'm not sure what was going on but then we got home with the food and I was missing a whole portion of my dinner and my husbands sides were like non existent he got 6 fries for his side of fries... I hope it was just an off day but I was pretty devastated because I love Cracker Barrel. read more

Great food and it was made quick. The waitress was extremely friendly and had amazing service. I love Cracker Barrel anywhere I go. The environment is much like any other Cracker Barrel, and was very clean and comfortable. Thank you! read more

We were sat and had our order taken quite swiftly. But after 35 minutes we had our beverages and nothing else. People that came in after us already had their food and were eating. And no our waitress did not come and check on us even once. If I could give no stars, I would. This is literally the worst Cracker Barrel experience we have experienced. And I've had a fairly terrible one. read more

Stop by late yesterday morning as I couldn't take the billboards anymore and had to have the fried chicken dinner after many months of not having any. The lady that served us did just a great job so we left her a very nice tip and the fried chicken with green beans and coleslaw or just about perfect. I can't even remember what my wife had but we both did have the plain iced tea which was good as well and always filled up just in time All in a nice clean and fun at atmosphere read more

I enjoy the southern style meals, very filling and easy choosing. No matter where Cracker Barrel is, they stay ridiculously busy. I enjoy the gift shop more than the restaurant itself. Attended one in Tennessee and the hospitality was superb. The one in Vegas on Craig, that's a different story. Although those pancakes and portions never disappoint. I'd def say take a crack and different things on the menu. It truly depends what time of day you go as far as cleanliness and the type of attitude and attention you'll receive. The environment is subtle and warming, you usually see many smiles and lots of conversation. read more

We went for breakfast this morning and had a wonderful young man, Andrew, as our server! There was a bit of a kitchen mishap but our server and team lead, Ryan, saved the day! The steak tips were juicy and cooked to perfection along with fresh hot coffee. Sunday mornings can be a real challenge at restaurants but this duo definitely made the grade! Will certainly return soon! read more

The service was good and the food was pretty good. The tables were clean and overall the prices were alright. Not the best in the world, but pretty typical for a corporate run restaurant. read more

Good food, good service. Will certainly be back. Always love the Cracker Barrel store / vibe

While I typically love Cracker Barrel and the food options they provide (especially now that they have more vegetarian options with the impossible brand) the experience at this location was subpar. I tried to order the Biscuits Benedict which is a newer menu item. When ordering the waitress asked me how I I wanted my eggs cooked & when I told her poached or over easy like Benedict eggs (exactly like pictured on the menu) she told me that they don't cook their eggs like that and she "didn't know what that was". I explained to her how they are shown on the menu and she still refused. It was so much back and forth that I had to ask to speak with a manager. In all the manager corrected the issue but it was a headache. They also sell alcoholic beverages now (mimosas and bloody Mary's) however our waitress was to young to even sell them to us and we had to wait almost 30mins for someone to come ID us to put the order in and another 20mins for them to bring them out, and once they did our glasses where full of water from where they had taken them straight out of the dishwasher without drying, to which we waited even longer for clean glasses. This experience was awful. read more

My salad was good. Three of our party wanted chicken pot pie but we're told it was off menu. Because if that we will probably not be back since that is why they came. The Soda was flat and chicken and dumplings was mostly just dumplings. The waitress tried hard even though the second server never showed. read more

We were driving from Nashville to Huntsville and decided to eat something on the way without changing our destination too much. Cracker Barrel's this location was right by the freeway. I like it more than I was expecting tbh. You go to the restaurant through the gift shop which they had nice stuff. I had to force myself not to buy anything. Our server was very friendly. We ordered the cups of coffee right away, and it came out very quickly. She was a sweetheart and she filled out our coffee once we almost finished it without calling out. The menu is clear and offers lots of Southern food at a reasonable price. The portions are also big. I got some leftovers. While waiting for our food, even while eating, we played the Peg game. Some tables didn't have the game. I'm glad we didn't get those tables. I ordered two entrees Classic Sampler with two sides. My entrees were meatloaf and homestyle chicken, and for sides were fries and mac n cheese. I found the chicken a little dry, but still good. The rest of the items were also yummy. read more

Katelyn did a great job serving a delicious meal. She checked on us and made sure we had what we needed before we even knew we needed it!

Dont Go! This Cracker Barrel is the worst one I ever been to I ordered a pot Pie back in January & the carrots were raw it was if the inside vegetables & sauce was made in 5 minutes & I went the 3/16/24 & ordered fried Cat Fish it was old & fried in dark grease & the steak fries were half raw. read more

Our group of 8 stopped here on our way to family vacation. Wait was short which has never been my experience at a Cracker Barrel but I think it was because it was a Wednesday morning. We ordered a variety of meals and had so much that many of us shared items - which the kids loved since they were able to taste items not on their meal. Waitress were friendly and we all enjoyed our breakfast! read more

Whether eating dine in or takeout, this restaurant is a go-to for our family. We love the burgers, catfish, and chicken fried chicken. We have even had family or friends with us--sometimes 10 of us, and it's always perfect. Of course the gift shop is always filled with unique items and old school candy. Can't beat it. read more

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - New Crackerbarrel offer fried chicken and corn with baked beans for say lunch. Of course great breakfast - Southern Near Me - Columbia, Tennessee

Very good food! we had a great service and waiter was very friendly and helpful. Food super fast and delicious like always.

Chicken and dumplings, first we were told they were out then they were cold and salad were improperly charged. Biscuits and corn bread came out later, never got butter. Some of the worst service I have received at a Cracker Barrel. Was not able to get the points either. Took a long time to get the food. A chicken salad and chicken and dumplings. read more

SHOUTOUT TO NOWELL! I'm giving 3 stars, only thanks to the resolution the manager offered us. My husband and I came to Columbia to visit our son, and took him to lunch at this Cracker Barrel. We always enjoy our experience at this and most other locations. Today was an unfortunate exception. Everything was off, from start to finish, from the first cup of coffee to the whopping big overcharge for the last minute candy purchase. Since there was no one at the register to ask how our experience was, I decided to call and speak with the manager after I got home. Nowell was extremely nice, listened to everything I had to say, thanked me for giving feedback, and offered me a resolution that was more than fair. I will definitely be back! read more

Not like a remember On road trips we would always stop at a cracked barrel for chicken and dumplings. So when staying at one of the hotels we decided to order to go from there. Online site was okay to order from. Annoying you had to scroll through 60 some items on the main dish section to see everything. When done it gave a time frame of a half hour for order to be ready. Showed up then and food was not ready on time. Food was packed well. As far as the taste the mashed potatoes and hash brown casserole were not very good. Dumplings still tasted the same. And the salad we ordered was fresh. read more

I'm really disappointed that I can't give this Cracker Barrel a -0 rating!! Service - well might as well be nonexistent! Food - slightly warm country fried steak ( but greasy), mashed potatoes COLD & LUMPY, pintos- not fit to eat ( as my grandma says) DO NOT STOP & EAT HERE!! read more

Spent 1hour 30 minutes waiting Sunday after church @ Cracker Barrel on Bear Creek Pike Columbia with no food served. Server did the best she could to keep us calm but kitchen was a complete chaos. Tables of customers seated after we had been there were served their meals with little wait time. Over 4 other tables left with no service around same time as us. My wife had a long talk with manager but he needs more customer service training & management training. Don't bother going back until new management takes over. read more

Biscuits were "doughy" (should have been baked a little longer). Hamburger steak was not as good as we've had at most other Cracker Barrels. The marshmellows were missing from the baked potato appetizer. Our service from Katelyn was good. read more

I told my waiter our food was cold. o well, had to eat cold food. not very happy. read more

My family has always enjoyed Cracker Barrel, but lately it's appalling what the Bear Creek Columbia TN location looks like. It is filthy. Literally. My husband, who worked at Cracker Barrel about 15 years ago, actually got up and swept under our table. It was disgusting. I don't know what kind of management y'all are hiring within the past year but it's gotten nothing but worse. I won't go back to that location again. read more

I love Cracker Barrel. It's always one of our go-to restaurants when we are on the road. I wanted to like this place for all the usual reasons...the atmosphere was good, it was clean, warm and comfortable and the greeting was pleasant. Sadly, on this day the food was not as good as we have come to expect from Cracker Barrel and the service was s-l-o-w. I ordered coffee. The waitress didn't seem to understand that I wanted coffee flavored coffee and seemed genuinely bewildered by my order for a plain old latte. So, I ordered a green bean casserole and vegetable soup. My wife ordered a variety of vegetable dishes including a plate of beans...which should have been hot, not cold. The green bean casserole had the world's daggiest onion rings on it and was not at all fresh. The soup was good but it was only lukewarm. My wife ordered fish and said it was good, but the accompaniments were below average. If the chain didn't have the history I know it to have, I would have offered just two stars. However, I believe in the brand and will continue to eat at Cracker Barrel despite what I hope is just a minor aberration at the Columbia store. Disappointing! read more

Food is always a hit or miss.It was good tonight.My complaint is overcharging.The waitress had something on my bill that I didn't order.I brought it to her attention and she said it was for what I ordered.I went to pay I told the cashier so she took the charge off.I bought a few gifts from the shop.I noticed on my receipt one of the items was charged $10 over.It was closing time they locked the doors so I waited for someone to leave and went back in.Check your receipts especially at closing time.I'll pass on this location in the future. read more

Update 10/1/19. : I ate here tonight because it's on my way home. What I ordered was unavailable, but our server waited until she brought out the other two orders to say anything. So, everyone else was sitting with food while mine was still another 15 minutes. I ended up with my entire meal in a to go box. We never got refills, and had to ask for our biscuits and they were burnt when we got them. Unfortunately, I don't believe negative reviews have any impact. Exit 46 is the first exit going northbound and last exit going southbound that has any major restaurants. Basically they can have terrible service but not have the impact of customer loss. It's a shame, really. Don't bother with ordering anything to go. I've had more to go orders than I can count and I've yet to have a pick up go smoothly. This last time, it was 55 minutes from the time I called and ordered until I was walking to my car. When my order finally came out, I was missing items. I've finally had enough and will not place a to go order from this location again. read more

Unacceptable service, low quality food, densely packed tables and lethargic and apathetic wait staff. Not for me, never again! I should learn to never say never.

Just had breakfast here and I must say it was the worst food I've had in a long time. No flavor at all on anything. Worst gravy I've ever had, just tasted like flour. Grits were watery and just plain awful! Eggs were ok. Biscuits very bland. Even the sausage tasted off. Well one thing was good, the orange juice. My wife didn't like any of her food either. Will never eat here again. Two stars because the place was clean and employees were pleasant and hospitable. read more
