Our Mother's Day morning breakfast was a great experience with HANNAH as our waitress. She was a very polite, attentive and and understanding. Great customer service overall she was an awesome server and would love to have her again on our next visit to Cracker Barrel. From the Ochoa's Family read more

I took my wife out to dinner last night to our Cracker Barrel, we ordered chicken and dumplings, I guess it was a bad evening for our server, because we were never given any napkins after we sat down. Once our food arrived my bowl was mostly broth with a few pieces of chicken, while my wife's bowl was packed full , but the dumplings tasted like they were not fully cooked. We asked our server to take her dish telling him it wasn't fully cooked. Still no napkins, we had to ask our server Mr Martin F. He was only in charge of 3-4 tables and seemed to be having a hard time talking care of them. We finally received some napkins, and her second dish of chicken and dumplings came back, but again it wasn't fully cooked. I understand he's not in charge of the cooking of the food, that's the kitchen staff, but throughout our meal and as many times as he came to our table he never asked about topping off our glasses of tea. My wife asked to order something else instead of the chicken and dumplings, and ordered the roast beef meal, that was when our server asked about our glasses of tea. Someone should tell Mr Martin that when he comes to work to wear his pants up around his waist, and not down around his back side, or wear suspenders to keep his pants up. We ended our meal with our server apologizing for everything, but we were done. We think that my wife's meal should have been comped, but it wasn't. I did not tip that meal, and that is a first in a very long time that I haven't tipped a server. But his lack of attention to detail, plus his dress were beyond reproach. read more

This was by far the worst experience. The server was incredibly rude and dismissive, the food was cold and burnt, and I got food poisoning. No manager to be found. I absolutely love coming to dine here. The service and food use to always be fantastic. I myself have been a server and bartender for 12 years. This was the first time I have never left a tip (I usually leave $20-100 no matter the cost of my food). On Thursday I came in to eat lunch with a friend. We were greeted and sat within 10mins of arriving. The host (Christopher) was a blessing. Another serve came to greet us and serve our drinks. The first time we met our server(Jasmyne E.) was when she came to take our order. She seemed in a hurry which was expected as it was lunch time. We placed our order at 12:30. It took almost an hour to get our food by this time the dining room was empty, and within that time not once did our server come to check on us. When we finally got our food the server had forgotten syrup, butter, jelly for our biscuits and said she would be back. My friends chicken fried steak was burnt, like black burnt inside and out. My sides were wrong, my eggs had been sitting long enough to be come cold and brittle, my pancakes were cold and hard (I had a hard time cutting them with a knife hard). We tried to wave down our server but she just gave us a dirty look, put up her hand and walked away. After waiting a while, like 15minutes, a buster came to give us syrup. We mentioned to him our food complaints in which he took my friends food back, I was so hungry by this point I didn't care it was cold and wrong. This is where I made the mistake. I took a bite of bacon (I ordered sausage) and noticed it tasted funny, I tried it once more and had to spit it out. I don't know if it was old or bad or what, I've never had to spit out bacon before. I took a bite of my eggs and choked, took another bite which got stuck half in my throat and had to gulp down my drink so I didn't choke because they had become very hard and fibrous from sitting. After finishing my pancakes is when my friends chicken fried steak was finally done. But by this time it was already 2pm, we had to leave to go get our kids from school. We asked them to go back and box it. We sat there and waited for someone to bring a check.... No server this whole time. No check... nothing. And as I said before the dining room was empty.... I literally told my friend if we don't get a check in 5minutes we're just going to have to leave. Right at 5minutes our server shows up with our check in which my friend stated it would be split but she wasn't going to pay for food she had to send back and didn't even get to eat in the 2hours we were there. The servers idea was to void off her food and hand me the entire check.... I promptly rushed over to pay. I asked the checkout girl (Taylor) how long that server had been there and she responded a long time and asked what was wrong. We then complained about our service and she seems very apologetic and distraught. She even asked if we got to speak with a manager in which we replied they never came by and now we have no time to speak to anyone. I was incredibly upset with my experience and would like it rectified. Once I got home my stomach cramped allll night long. Today I have a fever, and have been stuck in the bathroom all day. I can understand kitchens taking long and food being wrong without complaint (obviously because I ate my food). What I can't get over was our service (lack of and rude), and having food poisoning. As I said before I myself am a server and bartender. I understand things happen but not like this. This was the worst experience I've ever had somewhere. read more

CRACKER BARREL NEVER DISAPPOINTS!!! Cracker Barrel has consistently good breakfast, friendly service and great shopping while you wait. This location was clean and fast. From the moment we stepped through the door, we felt welcomed and valued. We were greeted by Ms. Tara. She was super sweet and informed us that there was a 15 minute wait. We ended up getting seating within 2 minutes. Then we had Matthew as our server. Extremely attentive and nice. Our food came fast as well. We will come back to this location again. GREAT FOOD, SERVICE, AND SHOPPING. Thank you read more

I haven't been to a Cracker Barrel in almost 10 years and I have to say this was by far the most disappointing restaurant experience I've ever had, I actually don't think they could've made it any worse if they tried. We got sat down and had our drinks brought to us and we waited for 20 minutes for someone to come take our order and when nobody came we decided to leave. The service is terrible and all of the employees just stand around talking instead of working. The restaurant itself is also filthy and sticky. I will never step foot into this Cracker Barrel again unless it's against my will. read more

It's 2pm, and waitor Michael B! He quickly took our order and brought us FRESH biscuits and cornbread. He kindly greeted us and was very attentive. We pay $57.15 for three BIG meals which was a steal. We ordered chicken tenders. I had to send them back because they were cold. I received a fresh plate. My husband ordered strawberry pancakes and mowed those down quick after prayer. Mommie ate pecan pancakes, fried ham, and hash browns. She said they were heavenly devine. The place was noisy but not to bad. Michael B took great care of us. read more

Arrived this morning parking lot was mostly empty not very many people at 8:30 AM. After being seated, we waited for the waitress to come take the drink order when she returned we placed our meal order, start the clock. 30 minutes later the food finally arrived. The food was not pleasant. The pancakes seemed underdone, cold , and chewy. The bacon and the ham were extremely greasy and the ham had a flavor to it. Waitress apologized, but the damage was done. Very likely not returning as this is a similar experience I had on a previous visit. read more

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - Having to eat off napkins because their are no plates available smh - Southern Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

I hadn't been to Cracker Barrel in over a decade. I actually looked forward to it because I have been wanting some chicken and dumplings. Service was good. Store was clean. But I almost immediately lost my appetite when the plate came out and all my food was kinda sitting on top of each other. It's one thing if it was just next to each other but dumpling juice was completely mixed into everything. I realize this is a first world problem but it still made me instantly regret going there. read more

Was very disappointed with this location I always go to the ones in San Antonio, Texas. Always a good experience. This one in Corpus Christi ordered the steak was very tough. The green beans that are ordered look like they've been smashed almost resembled mashed potatoes. The server was a young man completely unaware of what's going on. Could not remember anything from the table to the kitchen. He was very apologetic, but not very helpful. read more

The service was horrible today, 8/21/25. We were in Corpus for an early meeting today and afterwards, we decided to go eat a Cracker Barrel. We arrived at 11:25 a.m. and were seated, placed our order and got our drinks a little after. It was 12:15 p.m. and our order was still not out. We let the server know and she said it would be coming out soon. She went to the back to get us what looked like dinner rolls. But not our food. We had a 3 hour drive home and decided to leave. My husband spoke to the manager and although he offered to box up our order, how are we going to eat in our vehicle? He seemed to care less when we told him that. In the end, we grabbed some chick fil a on our way out of corpus and will never go to another Cracker Barrel again. Much less now that you are "rebranding". Maybe "rebrand" your customer service and leave the wokeness out. One star cuz I have to leave one to post review. read more

This was one of the worst dinning experience I've ever had. We waited an hour and forty min for our food. After an hour and twenty min I asked the waitress to bring our food out because it had been so long and she snaps back and says other people that have been their longer are still waiting also and she can't skip them. I told her everyone around us got there after us and are already eating. She then tells us she can cancel our order and we can leave if we want to. I spoke to the manager and he wasn't any better. I guess that's why their service is so poor. No leadership. Never eat there again. That waitress should have been fired on the spot. read more

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - Waited 1:40 for this. - Southern Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Stopped at this place while in town and was very disappointed. First, our server was very kind, but several small issues made for one big let down. I try not to nitpick, but what ever could go wrong did. It was extremely cold inside. The menus were dirty. The coffee was awful. We found hair in our food on two different plates. One hair was on the plate, and one hair under the food on the other plate. Bacon overcooked, and pancakes were lukewarm. Other dishes were lukewarm or cold. Etc.. I usually find Cracker Barrel to be consistent, so this was surprising. The manager came at the end and removed some of the items from our bill, but I wouldn't recommend this place until they fix these glaring issues. read more

This morning, on our way back home from our last blast of summer, we stopped in for some comfort food we're so used to having at Cracker Barrel. The wait wasn't bad. Our waiter had a quick drink time and took our order in a timely manner. Things took a turn after that. The bread basket took over 15 minutes to get to the table. We didn't have any silverware for the butter, and it took asking 3 different people and about 5 minutes to get any. Surrounding people were sat and ordered after us, yet they got their food first. Parts of a meal were delivered several minutes later. Tea was delivered with no ice. We were handed the lunch menu instead of breakfast, so we missed out on a larger choice of breakfast items. When we got the bill we noticed an extra charge for plain hash browns even though it said it came WITH hash browns. The young woman at the cash register was very nice and explained their weird hash brown problem. This type of service is less than acceptable and should be addressed. I will not return to that location. I am available if you have any questions. Thank you for your attention to this matter. read more

I ordered chicken dumpling soup. I got a bowl of thin, watery chicken broth with 4 tiny bits of carrots and nothing else. I also ordered a side of mashed potatoes. The soup was cold, so I put the potatoes init to thicken it up and then microwaved it. Still, terrible and watery. Inedible! Terrible and a total waste of money. read more

My wife and I had the beef campfire and chicken campfire specials and it was absolutely perfect. Both chicken and beef were cooked to perfection and flavor was so amazing. Our server, Deron, was so attentive and friendly. He brought us the biscuits and informed us the cornbread was cooking and he would bring it as soon as it was ready. My wife's reaction was like a kid in a candy store she was so happy when it came straight from the oven. Through out the evening he paid attention to our needs and handled everything promptly. Karina the hostess sat us and was really pleasant. Highly recommend this location for the service, ambiance, and of course the food. Also don't forget the country store with everything you didn't know you needed lol. read more

Only reason I went was because I had a gift card that I won. Will probably not return. I got meatloafloaf ,mashed potatoes and corn. Meatloaf was ok , mashed potatoes tasted like they were frozen and reheated needed butter or something the corner was a little hard, corn needed some flavor no kind of flavor. Had a $50 gift card our meal was $33. We're trying to get us to take a whole pie and call it even we wanted half and half. Hostess went to kitchen came back handed us a bag with one slice apple and one slice pecan. How was that even when you trying to get me to take a whole pie. We got jibbed . Never again. Oh by the way i'm hispanic my man is blk yeah if we would've been of white decent we would have been treated differently and given the half and half pie. My opinion. read more

Went to Thanksgiving dinner at Cracker Barrel and the food came out. It's worse than we got in the Marine Corps. The food was cold. The waitress was new I guess but as far as Thanksgiving goes, I understand people are in a busy and they they do have a hard time doing holiday meals, but it was absolutely terrible yesterday read more

DO NOT RECOMMEND, unfortunate time here. After placing our name down for 5 people we were quoted 1 hour. After our time had come, we sit down in an empty section and we were then told by our waitress that the food is going to take about an hour to come out. Our party was then very upset as we had just waited OVER an hour and then told it would be ANOTHER hour for our food. My poor grandpa was already in pain from standing and waiting this just put everyone in a bad mood and definitely will not EVER be returning. You should let your customers know when they check in for their table that the food also will take an hour once sat because that is disappointing to the patrons and awful for the servers who aren't making money. Do better please. read more

I haven't been this place in a couple of months they change the menu and the food is terrible.

Sorry they changed everything. I'm really upset. read more

Took 30 minutes for a order of fried pickles and fried onion petals and when we went to ask about them they came back and said oh they are in the shelf. Never told us a dang thing and when we paid for it and left and decided to eat it,it was absolutely revolting. Idk how you can mess up fried pickles and fried onion petals but they did just that! It tastes like they fried it twice and it was just pure oil couldn't even taste the pickle. Will never be coming back here. read more

Since moving to the Corpus Christi Texas area from Oahu, Hawaii the employees there have become like family to us. Mentioning, greeter whom we met , Sydney. Then Jillian who is our most favorite waitress of whom we know very well. Very friendly. We also want to mention (Vanity). When we met her she told us how to remember her name like (Vanity Mirror)(lol). We visited last night as we had a late dinner. We met a very well mannered young man Tristan. He always checked to make sure if we needed anything. We had chicken with huge thighs, wings and drumsticks. And all I can say is wow! It was fantastic!! We are going to miss this place as moving to Galveston in 19 days. Then back to Hawaii in 2026. This place will always be remembered as wonderful memories with us! read more

We arrived at 11:30 am, sat outside and waited, we sat down at our table at 11:45 am. Our waiter didn't come to our table for 15-20 minutes. As soon as he came to get our drink order, we ordered our food and drinks at the same time. At 12:45, WE STILL DID NOT HAVE OUR FOOD. People all around us that sat down after us, were done eating and leaving and we still hadn't gotten our food. At 12:45, our waiter came and said that we were 3rd in line to get our food! We left. It was awful. When we left, there was no line and no one waiting to be seated. There were empty tables all around us. AWFUL! read more

Waited 1hr 15min for table no big deal. 22 open tables looked like a pretty full staff. While I was waiting in the store area saw employees wondering around. After we sat waitress mind you that has only us and on 4 top tells us food is taking over an hour to come out. We left to avoid any more opportunity for dining prevention. No urgency in this place this wasn't the first time just the worst. read more

Pretty much, "My bad but o well"! ughhhhh..... read more

Great food nice people so imagine you get a massive breakfast for super low prices. Loved it so much would recommend

Cracker Barrel has always been our favorite place to have breakfast but lately it has gone down hill. My last visit here 2/22 was not impressive. The taste of the food was marginal and the portion of the hash brown casserole was very weak. Gravy for the biscuits had no taste. I had to doctor it up to even have a decent taste. I'm not sure what has gone down hill here but there are now much better places to eat. The series good though read more

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - Pancake - Southern Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

TERRIBLE SERVICE. Especially this server by the name Daniel. we didn't receive our silver ware and when we asked for it, took him almost ten minutes to give them to my family and I. We also noticed some people behind us had came in 10, 15 minutes after we did, he took in their order after us and 30 plus minutes later went by those people received their food but not us even though we were there before them. My Dad outraged and confronted Daniel asked him that how come we didn't get our food but the people behind us did? Daniel made a remark by telling my dad don't yell at me (which he didn't he just raised his voice BIG DIFFERENCE) then proceeded to tell my dad that he didn't care that we didn't receive our food and that he's getting $2 an hour that he simply didn't care. That's when we left. read more

Checked in and got the 1106 txt saying 20 minutes. An hour later we finally get seated after watching them skip us in line 5 times. They say we are next and still do not seat us next. The manager on duty Jaime takes over and people start getting seated quicker. She was great and knocked out the line but it wasn't even on her side. Not sure if in order or not but at least get seated. Kids wanted the pancakes so we actually stayed. I was more than ready to go but they had mind set. The ambiance was very loud but it is expected. But the waiter also did not pay attention to our order. Asked for no lemon and he put extra lemons in tea. So not sure if they did it to mess with us ir not but he is messing with his own money. Our Waiter (ab) took our order and was to bring refills but forgot about it. He walked by twice and still did not give we have to stop him and ask about it. Asked him again for refill and check saw him two more times to finally get the check and drinks again. Sausage was not cooked all the way through wither. Definitely do not recommend this place. Also right before we left saw a couple complaining about the time as well with the list. Also found out if going to Cracker Barrel just get on list anytime before to skip the line and not have to worry about this. read more
