April 19 2026 arriving at Cracker Barrel, where the wait time was 40 minutes, but we were seated in 20 minutes. Our server Ethanael D a very young man greeted us with a beautiful smile, displaying exceptional politeness and attentiveness, checking on us several times. We were very impressed with his service. Keep smiling young man it will take you far in life! read more

It has been a year since we eat hear and I must have forgotten forgot why we said we would never come back. The service is terrible and so was the food. Waited 35 minutes after we ordered, which took 15 minutes to find out they were out of dumplings. When we got our food it was not eatable. Please memory, don't fail me again. Do Not Come Back. On repeat. On the upside, the kids love the store. read more

Decided to give to his location another try today and was served moldy biscuits. This location cuts too many corners and they're going to make someone sick if they haven't already. read more

Worse dinner ever. Ordered Grandma's sample and tried to substitute for the eggs for 1 slice French toast. Was toldthat ivannot substitute. So I asked about 1 slice of French toast and was told it would be 5.00 for 1 slice. That's 4 loaves of bread. The n diet coke ran out and I was told we don't have anymore pick something else. I don't drink anything else. When I was leaving I requested corporate number and was told they don't have one anymore they laid everyone off at corporate. This is a very poor way to run a business especially a food service company. Would not eat here anymore. read more

Came in on Mother's Day. Call to check in, and lady said she did, which she DIDNT! So had to wait extra minutes because I was told one thing. Food has tremendously went down, chicken sausage was disgusting, eggs was extremely plain, the hash brown casserole, which was my favorite part, was crunchy!!!! The only thing my mom liked was the pecan pancakes. Overall, i won't be back. Our server Jonah was amazing! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is the old country store vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

First of all, we were offered biscuits or corn bread to start out with. I love the cornbread. We were informed that they didn't have any ready and it would be awhile. When our tea was brought to us apparently it was just made and by the time it arrived, the ice cubes were very scarce. Asked our waitress Kayla, for a glass of ice and it took her forever to bring it . I flagged down someone who brought it right away. Then when my food arrived it was at room temperature .... Still no cornbread. Halfway through our meal Kayla asked if we preferred biscuits instead since the cornbread STILL wasn't ready. This is the most disappointing meal I have ever had there. read more

Wouldn't go here again if it was free. Tried several times months ago and gave up. Wife talked me into giving it one more try. Bad mistake. Rancid ham, just totally nasty. Bland hard cornbread, Biscuits hard as a rock. Ran out of salad. Got the order wrong. Save yourself the trouble read more

I see why the reviews are so low. You cant just be giving out old food because people order it to go. The food appears to be normal but when you taste it, you can tell its not fresh. In particular, this hashbrown casserole is awful. I just picked it up from the restaurant 20 minutes ago. I've ordered a family size hash brown casserole and its fresh and creamy. This one is dry. It doesnt even taste like their casserole. The meatloaf is dry as can be. It's just disappointing. Do better! read more

#1 My husband got food poisoning twice! Once at this location and once out of state. He has went to other Cracker Barrels out of state because he travels. They were all very subpar. Google's ratings are better but it is not correct. Read all of the ONE Stars on Google to get a bigger picture of what's going on as far as service and food. It literally reminds me of glorified hospital food. The only positive thing to this place is there store. So, if you want to go shopping, then go to Cracker Barrel. If you want to eat go somewhere else. read more

The service is good. But lately the food has not been all that good. I love to shop there more than I do eating.

Called in for a inquiry on a gift card that has Cracker Barrel on it it's not a Cracker Barrel card, but I was looking to get some answers and some information so I could use it in the restaurant. I was then put on hold to wait for somebody that could help me with my question when that person answered the phone they were very condescending in the way they were talking to me. And then ended up just telling me that they couldn't help me and rushed me off the phone like I wasn't a customer as well. Very poor service very rude. read more

I was hoping that this time they would get it right.. I really was. Well if consistency is what they are going for, they got it down.. consistent with never getting it right. We expected the 30+ minutes wait time for a table at 11:30 on a Sunday and the 45+ minutes wait for our food but I had high hopes that our order would be correct. We told the waiter that this was our 10th visit and that the previous 9 times our order was wrong. It's simple.. Grandpa's Country Fried Breakfast with over easy eggs (add 1 extra egg ) with the country fried steak and has brown casserole. We ask for all of the gravy on the side. Nothing crazy right? We got 2 eggs overcooked in the window to overhard (missing the 3rd egg) the entire plate covered in gravy.. ugh seriously every single time we get the same thing. Attention to detail people. This time our breakfast was semi cold and oldish but the plates were extra hot so I'm assuming our food was sitting in the window for quite some time. My Grandma's sampler was also wrong and my scrambled eggs were dry as hell. Normally I love their food but our order is ALWAYS wrong, this time it was wrong and below par. Not sure if I can convince my husband to go with me again for a 11 time streak fail lol. read more

Only one cook. Food was poor quality. 30+ minutes to get 2 out of 6 entrees and when we were done, the other 4 came out. Fried pickles were too salty to eat. Broccoli was under cooked and sour. Won't be bad. read more

Good food and good service. Im really surprised at how long I had avoided this place in my younger years. But in my defense that's because I was getting home cooked meals at the time. This is a good substitute when you're no longer having mom or grandma cooking for you lol. I've only been here for breakfast and have thoroughly enjoyed it each time. They get you in and out with their fast service. I also like looking around their store and reminiscing over the items I grew around. Eggs, bacon, & hash browns are always good. That's same everywhere. The apple toppings on the pancakes were perfect. I really enjoyed it! read more

I've always had a soft spot for CB, but this location is just so BAD. This is my 3rd time, and the bad experience and bad food is consistent regardless on what day or what time it is ... Today - Service: 15 minutes before the server gets to us. Gave a 4 year old a full glass of water (not in one of the containers with lids) Only visited the table once Gave 2 napkins on a table with a kid Very sweet, but overall just slow and not too attentive Food: Bland, dry, and disappointing are their overall food profile Pinto beans - I couldn't believe they serve this. Looks like they found it in a sewage and put it in their bowls Potato hash casserole - just gross. Just potatoes and some warm paste like roux Meatloaf - dry dry dry Bacon - undercooked French toast - bland and dry ... have a rubbery and old oil taste to it I could go on and on, but it's just terrible. Coming from Georgia, there's a CB almost in every exit, and we've gone almost at least once or twice a month for over a decade as a family. Having moved out here to this area, this is the closest CB and I guess we will have to completely let go of our fondness for CB and continue to support Black Bear diner for breakfast. So disappointing. Never coming back and will not recommend. read more

Absolutely horrible service. Attitude from the waitress and completely slow to get the food. Over 40 minutes from ordering to even get food. Had to ask three times for one drink refill. Read the recent reviews and believe it. Stay away from this place. It's poorly managed and really needs staffing help. read more

Overall Cracker Barrel can be a hit or miss. I've ordered the chicken fried chicken on two separate occasions and the first time I had it I absolutely loved it. The chicken was fresh, crispy, tasted homemade, and the mashed potatoes with gravy was also really good. I can pass on the mac and cheese as it's a little to watery for my liking. When I ordered the chicken fried chicken on a second occasion it was a total opposite experience. The chicken was rubbery, the crust was tough, the mashed potatoes were so hard and dry and the gravy had the most strange taste. I've also ordered breakfast here and the only thing that was decent was the bacon, sausage and hash brown casserole. While the pancakes may look good they were chewy rather than fluffy. While I don't think the food here is awful it's just mediocre but I believe some people might really enjoy the food here. I almost forgot they have really good complementary biscuits here :) read more

Let me go ahead and change this rating to a one star I would do zero if I could, came in around 12 o'clock, was told it was a 30 minute wait, we waited for an hour. Not a problem. We were sat. The time went by, about 10 minutes. And then a table next to us was set. Their waiter immediately came up, took their order drink order, and they were set to go. We waited another five minutes with nothing. My wife approached the girl standing in the middle who we were told her name was Elisha, she ignored her completely, and went back into the kitchen. We waited another 10 minutes before we finally left went to gringo's and was served immediately. I tried to give this place another chance but moving forward I will avoid it like the plague. Terrible service. read more

Nothing bad to say about this place! Ample parking lot, friendly service and cute cute stuff in the shop! Upon walking in on a busy Sunday i was able to immediately check us in after easily joining the wait list online. In addition to a text they also call your name old school over the intercom and I'm glad as I'm way too distracted by the store stuff. Such unique seasonal items that you won't see anywhere else. Our server Connor was phenomenal friendly patient adept and sweet even though he was slammed. Food always as expected down home country cooking at its best and 3 of us ate breakfast for $25!!!! Wish I lived closer to one! My son thoroughly enjoyed the kids menu and the peg game on the table as well. read more

DONT WAIST YOUR TIME!! If I could give a 0 I would. I wasted over an hour with no food. When the waitress would come back to the table she just kept saying our ticket was up our ticket was up Next . An entire hour of sitting there with hockey pucks for biscuits that were inedible. An hour of my life will never be able to get back. Didn't stay. read more

The food was great first time here we had a party of 9 and our server wasn't to attentive. As soon as we got the food she kind of disappeared from there she came back after one of us had to go look for her we asked for more napkins and only brought us 2 napkins??? again for a party of 9! Food was great but might just go to a different location read more

We were excited to order 4 meals and 1 of their add-on lunch meals for pickup because we've always had great luck when stopping at CBs while on vacation. Busy time of the year, so the longer wait than order estimate was totally understandable. Once home, I had the chicken fried steak, which looked and tasted like the pre-made ones we received in middle school. The side of broccoli rice casserole I paid extra for, I did not receive. My son ordered the New York Strip. He asked me to smell it, and it was rancid. It literally smelled like a cat's used litter box. He threw his entire meal away. We did not receive the small $5 meal at all. My husband called the restaurant. He was on speaker phone, so I could hear the disdain in the voice of the woman he was speaking with. He explained we did not receive our entire order that we had paid for, and that the steak was bad. She barked back that she ate the steak for lunch, and it was fine. Maybe they cooked a fresh one for her, but the one we received would have had Gordon Ramsey shutting down the place. Although she was rude, she did say that she would refund my card for items that we did not receive and for the steak. That never happened. It has been almost 4 weeks. Lesson learned. I should have read the reviews for this particular location before ordering. And to the questionable person handling their calls, please learn better customer service and promise fulfillment. read more

Horrible service. Waited over 20 mins for drinks and then an additional 40 for food while tables around us were all served. Took our meal to go. Got to checkout. Manager about as apologetic as the waiters (not at all). Zero discounts, zero tip from us. Saddened to say this location is going down hill read more

We had a great experience dining here on a Saturday afternoon. Food came out really fast, our server was attentive and friendly, the atmosphere was cozy with the fireplace on in the background. I absolutely enjoyed the whole dining experience, the fun country store is a cherry on top, full of novel candies, soda pops, toys, ornaments, clothing, and cool things. In terms of food, their cornbread is to die for, it's warm and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, as I devoured the cornbread, it instantly warmed my soul. Everything else was great, fried chicken is just as good as expected, rainbow trout is tender and well seasoned, steak fries are actually crispy (unless most restaurants' are soggy), and all the other country sides are great. Food is definitely on the heavier side, you can see and taste a layer of butter, but that's just country food, that's what you come here for. read more

The service is good but the food wasn't great. I had the worst bowl of grits ever. When they came out they were a little bit thick but as I ate them they got really soupy. I've never had grits get thinner as you eat them. Plus they wasn't well cooked. I love me some grits but those at Crackers Barrel wasn't my thing! read more

I was craving chicken and dumplings so we just picked some up to eat at home and they were delicious

Service today for lunch was fast and super friendly. I love the gift shop. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I cannot wait until it is warm enough for the fireplace[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The blueberry pancakes are amazing good! The waiter was good too. I didn't need nothing else.

You can guarantee they are going to mess up a take out order. Last night, they left a whole dinner off. We had to go back and pick it up. The food is never even warm. Always cold. They give 1 small bottle of syrup for 3 big pancakes and want to charge almost a dollar for any extra bottle. We have given them so many chances. It's always the same. Mediocre food and always missing something. I don't think they even try. This place can't even make the pancakes taste good. read more

I can't remember the last time I had such an awful meal. I've been to a few Cracker Barrels but nothing like this. It was a weekend and I knew there would be a long wait. There always is. I wasn't concerned. Be reminded that you'll have a wait at any one of the chains on weekend morning. It started when our waiter brought out our coffee and served them to us by picking them up with his bare hands by the rim. Pre Covid days this would have been gross, but we are living in a world of Covid. Unacceptable! My friend ordered crispy bacon and quite honestly it wasn't even cooked. We couldn't eat it at all. The ham I ordered was hard as a rock. Didn't touch that either. The free biscuits that you normally receive at Cracker Barrel came out when we were almost done with our meal. We had to constantly flag down our waiter for coffee refills and such. Most of the time he was no where to be found. It was just all round waste of a meal. We did mention the service to our waiter, tried to be kind about it. Will I eat at other Cracker Barrels, yes! Will I ever eat at this location again, no. I should have read the reviews before hand. read more

This location gives Cracker Barrel a bad name or they are nationally destroying the brand. Our server did not bring biscuits as a starter. When asked she said she chose not to bring them because I ordered pancakes. My daighter did not order pancakes. The food was barely warm, when it arrived. The server places the order at table, electronically. The food is ready for pickup much faster than the server can get to it. The server is taking orders, delivering food and bussing tables. In a busy restaurant with electronic ordering the timing is off. It's too much We asked to speak to the manager who quickly came but why he wasn't out front bussing, refilling coffee and helping us beyond me! read more

Decided day before to get up and go to breakfast at 9am. Been to Cracker Barrel many times but first time at this location and also keep in mind it's July 4th. Plenty of parking and today when we arrived as the lot was pretty empty. Considered using app to make the waitlist but the app stated 0 wait time and when we walked into the place it was empty. We were seated quickly and only saw a few tables with people seated. So I thought great we will not wait long to get our food. Waitress arrived quickly and she took our drink order which was coffee and waters. She then return and took our order. I think our waitress was new as she was very timid and soft spoken with little to no small talk or chit chat and she didn't seem to know the menu when we asked questions and wanted to substitute an item. After what seemed to be 10+ minutes waitress came by and refilled coffee and I thought wow as slow as they are we haven't got our food yet and long time between refills. Then a couple mins later a food runner came to our table with food but not anything we ordered. Tried to get our waitress but she was not to be found. A few mins later our waitress stopped by table and I asked her for update? And I told her about the food runner and wrong food. She said I'll go check and again was gone a 5-7 mins than returned finally with our food. We placed our order around 9:05 am and our food arrived around 9:35. My GF ordered 2 eggs over medium and I order the grandpa breakfast so nothing odd or difficult. I know it's July 4th but they were very slow when we arrived and had plenty of staff roaming around so confused on why service was so slow and delayed. I really like Cracker Barrel and never had this slow of service even when we arrive at other times when they are really busy. Of course I will return as I like Cracker Barrel and this could of just been a fluke and or new waitress learning curve who knows. Food was hot and fresh once it finally arrived.. coffee also was hot. read more

Food was okay, not hot, like it was sitting around for a while, biscuits were good and saved it slightly. We got there and supposedly wait time was 20-30 mins but ended up waiting exactly an hour and 21 minutes. Had half our party leave since it was Mother's Day and they had to attend other people. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The good thing that made this a 2 star instead of 1 was the games and stuff too look at, that killed time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But other than that definitely not coming back, I feel like they have a lot of turnaround with employees, felt like a lot of people didn't know what to do, respectfully. read more

I was a trainer for Carrabba's Italian Grill years ago, so I'm always looking at restaurants and how they run. I'm here on a Sunday afternoon at a packed Cracker Barrel, and it is run flawlessly. People walking around refilling coffees, pre-busing, smiles, and not one person is in the weeds. Job well done. read more

Waste of time and money. My sweet potato was cold. The marshmallows didn't even melt at all. The potato wasn't even warm. I lowkey feel like it couldn't been yesterday's sweet potato.

The Crack barrel located at the 290 and Murschke location is O.K. The server was great she has a sense of humor and the food was alright at best. Somehow the location at the I10 location was better for some reason. But Just for some comfort food, O.K since it is closer to home, but will not be my first choice. Danny's and IHOP is close by as well. So Maybe? read more
