Another day, another Cracker Barrel. They're just so darned convenient and nine times out of ten, there is no difference between one and the next. This was in the "nine" group. I arrived at 9am on a weekday, so the usual pre-work breakfast crowd was long gone. This left me with a choice of seats and an attentive server. Coffee was brought to me while I reviewed the menu. Which was silly of me because I already knew what I wanted. "Uncle Herschel's Favorite" always fills me up for a long day of driving and today was no exception. Two eggs over medium (easy on the cooking oil) with grits, biscuits and gravy (I only had half of one), hashbrown casserole (yummy!) and a small nibble of the country ham (too salty!) Coffee was good if perhaps a little hot. Bathroom was reasonably clean. It's by the highway, so it's busy. A solid experience, this is why I like the CB for a highway stop. read more

The pot pie was so salty we couldn't eat it,but the staff was great. We weren't charged for it,but I hope for less salt next time, otherwise it tasted very good. read more

Went to dinner here last night. Originally had four people. They sat us down right under two air vents and we were freezing. We noticed another table for four was empty and asked our server if we could move there. They allowed us to move with no problem. We then had a fifth person randomly join us and they allowed us to just bring a chair from another table over to our table. I also got the Apple Cider BBQ grilled chicken that their menu says only comes with two of the "wholesome fixin's" but I asked our server if I could get any sides or if it has to be from the healthier sides choices and she said I could get any sides and I wasn't charged extra. We also split the check four ways. We were overly complicated, not intentionally, and they handled everything with ease. The food was great, the service was great, and we were in and out of there in a decent amount of time. Highly recommend! *And if you haven't tried the apple cider BBQ chicken, you absolutely should. It is delicious! It's basically grilled chicken topped with apple cider BBQ sauce, fresh spoke, and dried cranberry chutney. It's amazing! read more

Well, it has been 40 minutes since we were sat and still no food! Seriously, 40 minutes! There are only 3 other tables. It's a lazy Friday morning and by lazy I mean the ice cold maple syrup would flow quicker than our food arriving. 45 minutes now...still no food! I am hangry now. Release the beast! Me want food (banging silver ware on table)! 50 minutes...food arrives. Food has been sitting under a heat lamp so long everything is rubbery. Omg I am losing my mind! Just keep driving, just keep driving, just keep driving! read more

Absolutely love Cracker Barrel! This was our first time to this location. Service was amazing... friendly, attentive staff. Our party was about 10 people last week. They were quick to address our seating needs. Restaurant was clean and homey. I love to look at all the decor on the walls. My go-to meal is the Sunday Homestyle chicken... phenomenal. My husband and I like to share this amazing coffee drink that has caramel and butterscotch in it. We always enjoy looking in the giftshop area, too. Our favorite things to get whenever we make a trip to Cracker Barrel is popcorn/marshmallow jelly beans and raspberry/blackberry gummies... unfortunately, neither of them were in stock this time. Maybe next time! read more

Worst service and quality of food at any Cracker Barrel I have ever been to. THE WORST!!! Waited 27 minutes to get food. Chilli and breakfast entree. Food was cold. Server didn't come to table but 1 time after receiving food.. No spoon to eat the Chilli. Couldn't get our check!! Not going back ever!!! read more

Not exposed to very many chain restaurants, (but I have no complaints with the recently discovered Denny's nor Outback). So when we stopped here two years ago, I exclaimed "How unique!" "No", I was told, "they are all exactly the same". I recall that I ordered a tasty Reuben sandwich although I see, it is not on the online menu now. Wait staff was sweet, friendly and helpful. Memorably grumpy cashier was not. After eating we sat outside for a while in the early evening, enjoying their line up of comfy chairs with board games. Families seemed very cheerful within, perhaps enjoying the table games provided. A relaxing recreation. What century is this anyway? Did I just overlook the smart phones or were there none to be seen? read more

Our last visit to this location was well over 4 years ago. We had hoped in that amount of time they would have worked out their kinks. No such luck. The food was good. The service was horrible. I could tell as soon as we sat down and greeted by the server that she had no interest in this job. We knew exactly what we wanted, so we placed our food order with our drink order, and specifically ordered cornbread basing our meal selections on the bread. The meals were brought out without bread and missing a baked potato. When asked if I needed anything else, I made mention of the missing items. We were then told that they were out of cornbread and would be back with the potato. My wife and I went ahead and started our meal. I was told twice, during my meal, that the potato was coming out soon. The manager, who could barely speak English, finally retrieved the potato. And delivered it to the table after we had finished eating. My first clue, that should have told me that this CB location was still having problems, was that there were on 8 other customers in the entire restaurant. Looks we'll have give them another 4 years. read more

Food was just okay but took nearly an hour to get and was cold. Service was poor, did not get bread until after we got the rest of our food. Had to go get my own silverware from the check in podium. This was our second visit to this location and the first visit was just as bad. Floors were dirty and had not been swept. If I could've given zero stars, that would have been my rating. read more

Waitress was good food was terrible ask for crispy bacon send it back twice finally just gave up they apparently don't understand the word same applies to hash browns ask for crispy hash browns they were white limp greasy pile Cracker Barrel used to be consistent and okay this is consistently crappy read more

My sister and I had the coastal sampler of shrimp and fish. The shrimp were hard, overdone, tasteless and not clearly identifiable as shrimp. But the unacceptable part of the meal was the end where we stood in a crowded line trying to let people coming in get by as we waited to pay. When the cashier finally got to us, we said we'd asked for separate tickets but they'd been combined. Her rude, passive aggressive remarks were embarrassing and in the middle of trying to figure out the two items she stopped to chat with a co--worker about pickles. She made us wait as long as possible. We won't be going back to this particular Cracker Barrel. This occurred about 3pm on Friday Jan. 12th and there was only one checker...so I hope she can be identified and "coached" on customer service. I know she didn't want to split the check--she made that clear--but her nasty attitude was worse than the shrimp. :(. bad meal, bad check out experience. Service was fine. read more

It's Cracker Barrel. Homey, cute, sometimes grossly greasy, and an American staple. When my European co workers come to the US, I love bringing them to Cracker Barrel , because it presents many American stereotypes in such a charming way. The food here was fine, and it spite of the location being very crowded, the staff was extremely curries and friendly. As my "dear friend" Billy Bob would say, "I give it a ten!" read more

Ever thought all Cracker Barrel were the same? WELL THERE NOT, this is the SLOWEST FOOD SERVICE OF THEM ALL. Went to eat at this location after taking mom to heart doctor. As a treat she said let's eat at a Cracker Barrel sure let's stop in Dickson Got our seat real fast ! Then waited for waitress, she took our Drinks, then she brought our drinks, we ordered Then the waiting WAITING AND WAITING WE WATCHED A COUPLE SIT ORDER EAT AND THEN LEAVE...... we still didn't get our food. So to answer the question NOT ALL CRACKER BARRELS ARE THE SAME Dickson LOCATION is the slowest so you better call your order in or better yet drive into NASHVILLE and pick a different venue read more

Regular customer at Cracker Barrel until recently. The last 2 attempts to eat there were total fails . Business was very light and very few people there yet, we were told there was a 45 minute wait to be seated. When asked what was the reason for that we were told that there was only one server working . This has happened twice in the past 2 weeks. We wound up going to another restaurant which of course was not our first choice however; we were seated and served immediately . Get it together CB . You're losing customers . read more

Horrible customer service between the website and calling. I ordered a gift card and needed to change some information. This card is for my mom birthday coming up Friday. The website is not user friendly. I sent 3 emails and tried calling. Can't get thru. What an unprofessional company. read more

I have eaten at this location for years as I worked through here. This is not due to COVID-19 but a lack of leadership. Our table was not clean when we were seated. Service was slow but ok. The baked chicken was good but the veggies were not hot. We did not express our concern because we were freezing due to the AC running nonstop. We asked if it could be changed but no response. Probably my last time here sad to say. read more

Showed up on Sunday at 0730 and there weren't but 5 other families eating so we thought we could be in and out in 30-min or so. Our server's name was Michelle and she was great but all in all it took nearly 30-min to get our food!!!! The country ham was tough and grisly and $6. The loaded hash browns were advertised as having bacon pieces but there was a slice of cheese and 2-pieces of bacon just placed on top. When paying the bill my husband let the gal know about our extremely long wait and terrible ham to which she replied, "sorry about that". read more

Wonderful experience. we were heading to nashville and decided to grab a bite to waste some time from when we first arrived to when we left it was a amazing experience Kayla went above n beyond for us she is the type of person that earns her living and seems to enjoy it !! it took us a few long moments to order and she was very patient n understanding will be stopping by again if ever this way great waitress !!!!shout out to our waitress KAYLA read more

Was seated within 15 minutes of arriving. The table they gave us was in the corner. We waited and waited for someone to at least take our drink orders. After 15 minutes we took our menus back and left. People who were seated right before us had already gotten their drinks and appetizers. So it's not a short handed issue. This is the only cracker barrel I have ever had any problem with service. read more

This is the worst Cracker Barrel I have ever been to. I have been to several different ones and I was not expecting this place to be like this. I had ordered Mama's Pancakes but instead of buttermilk pancakes I ordered the pecan pancakes. They gave me the buttermilk pancakes instead of the pecan pancakes. I honestly do not blame the waitress we had in the beginning because after that when they gave me the pecan pancakes one of them was not cooked at all. It just did not look right. They eventually took the pancakes off the bill. The new waitress agreed that the pancakes just didn't look good enough to eat. read more

Oh how the mighty have fallen. A once fantastic place to eat has turned to garbage. Just a few examples: Twice I've ordered online to beat the crowds. Neither time were my orders correct or just not ready when I show up to pickup. They were cold(nobody likes cold breakfast). Second was the "Southern Fried Chicken" promotion. Being from the south, I know about great fried chicken. It was either frozen or someone had no idea on how to cook it properly. It was so salty that it was just..awful. The service..There's where you would get 0 stars. Once this used to be the best service in Dickson. It is now terrible. One occasion I waited and watched every table get served but mine. It was not that busy. I eventually walked out. Second was when I had the above mentioned "Southern Fried Chicken". Pretty much like this...Takes order-Gets drink-gets food-brings check. No interaction. No refill. No, "how was your meal?", "Can I get you anything else?". When I went to pay the cashier, "How was your meal?"... "I'm sorry about that..Your total is..." I asked to speak to a manager but after waiting 10 minutes I left. I contacted corporate on more than one occasion and like my in store service, it was just as terrible. Who rates this place with 3-5 stars? I guess they visited on a "good day"because I find it hard for that to even to be fathomable... Update: 11-7-2019. Same only this time. We sat for 15 min and no one waited on us. ALL the tables around us were served immediately. Did I mention all those tables were filled after us? Thanks for nothing..No, retract that thanks. You folks SUCK and I mean that in the highest way possible. read more

My family and I stopped here on our way to Memphis. Very good breakfast. Food was prepared perfectly and the staff was very nice! Megan was an outstanding server! read more

Food was terrible. Too bad CB have gotten very lacking in this food. The service was fair. Overall the experience was the worst we have had at a CB location. read more

Placed a to go order at this location with the app. Service was horrible food took forever to get in that location was not crowded. When I got back to my hotel there were no utensils part of my order was missing my advice would be to stay away the Logans roadhouse across the street has done a much better job. read more

This place was a joke. We had a party of 5 and it took them over 20 minutes to clean a table. There were people standing around. One employee had her mother up there talking to the manager because she couldn't work with someone. Give me a break!! The hostess was not friendly at all. Then when we got to the table, the waitress took our drink order but was not the one who brought them back to us. We never saw her again. We sat there again for another 10 minutes. We got up and left. read more

I've been here three times and the biggest issue is the dismissive attitude of the three star wait staff. Long standing staff should have a better attitude than new staff yet the one star staff was much better. Further please do not yell at staff while on the floor. Four stars should know better, walk over to the staff on the floor and discuss with them about their selling, don't yell at them across us guests. It is always rude but exceptionally unprofessional in front of everyone. I don't go to a place to eat to Feel like I'm an inconvenience when my order was super basic. I'm not there wasting your time, I'm being a patron purchasing the service your business is offering. read more

Typical Cracker Barrel. Y'all already know they're pretty much all the same. Good service, great food, and I love that little game they have sitting on every table. Makes the time go by so quickly. read more

I don't want to be mean but this location at the Dickson Cracker Barrel is VERY VERY SLOW. The servers was slow and terrible. The person who served us was also rude. We ordered our food and we waited SO LONG for our food. When we had our food most of the orders were wrong and were put on other people's plates. When i got my food, most of it was VERY COLD. The scrambled eggs were not even scrambled, it was and omelet like. The pancakes were very salty and the bacon was very hard. Also, the lemonade was had brown stuff in it. Overall it was terrible . read more

I just can't understand how each Cracker Barrel can vary so much from location to location. Absolutely ZERO quality control. Terrible customer service, terrible management staff and the list goes on and on and on. Food NEVER comes out as ordered. And if you ask for a refire, well you might as well call Pizza Hut and have the pizza delivered to your table. Probably get the pizza before the refire. read more

We have been on the road from a trip out west by RV and wanted something familiar. After reading the reviews we were worried the service would be very slow. Well James was our waiter he not only waited on us but also bussed tables and waited on other customers. The restaurant was busy and there seemed to be enough waiters but some were busier than others. The food came out hot and correct. All in all it was a good experience. I have gone to other Cracker Barrel's and had to complain to management but not here. Thank you James for waiting on us. read more

Would not recommend this location as they can't even cook eggs correctly. We waited for 34 minutes on the old uncle hershels breakfast and my eggs were hard mind you its 10:56 am here. I didn't want the grits or the biscuits and gravy I asked to substitute those two items for one pancake. Nope they charged me $4 extra instead. Rediculous. Other cracker barrels I have been to don't have a problem doing this. This one does. Very slow cooks here. I'd go to the waffle house at least your eggs would be cooked correctly and they'd be hot and fresh, not cold and like rubber after waiting that long. read more

Worst Cracker Barrel I've ever had the displeasure to eat at. The meat loaf was uncooked in the center and the manager, via the waitress, said it wasn't uncooked, it was pink because for the tomato sauce. B.S. I know uncooked hamburger meat! read more

Cracker Barrel has never been disappointing. Unlike the other chain stores, none of it's branches/ locations has given me a chance to pin-point anything bad. Perfect food, service, behavior, ambiance. I don't know how they do it. During our road trip from Nashville to Dallas (Yes! We are crazy road trippers..lol), we had stopped by this location for brunch. Our server was this old lady, (who I expected to be grumpy), was the sweetest lady everrr. She gave us good suggestions on what to order, she read out the specials, offered us complimentary beans, refilled our coffee like it was water, and finally gave us a to- go coffee, which my darling boyfriend wasted eventually :( :P Man! I totally forgot how much I loved this place. read more

We orderd food to go twice from this Cracker Barrel because it was next door to our hotel. On the first visit I had to send our order back three times to get the food right. The kitchen wasn't sure how to handle my daughter's food allergy. How difficult is it to make salads? It took about 45 minutes...for salads. We only returned because we were too tired to go elsewhere and we ordered french fries, turkey bacon for my daughter, and scrambled eggs for me. I was starving... it took over 30 minutes to make our food and a female manager told my daughter that her wheelchair was in people's way so she was upset and waited outside. After waiting all that time, the eggs were nasty and not cooked through. The only highlight was that all of their nautical decor was 70% off so I did a lot of shopping while waiting. I won't return for their food. read more

Terrible service from the get go. Stopped by on the way back from Nashville because who doesn't like Cracker Barrel? Boy was I mistaken. I was told the wait would be 10 minutes. It was closer to 40. My mashed potatoes were cold and server spilled 2 drinks within 5 minutes. The most positive takeaway I have from this experience is that I know where not to go when in Dickson. read more

Was pleasantly surprised to discover CB still open, as we stopped at 10:20, they are open until 11! Even though we were almost the last couple there, everything was delicious and the staff was great. I was expecting to be rushed and receive lackluster service and food. Not the case. I thought the Dickson Cracker Barrel was great an deserved a shout out. read more

Note to self: Next time, get there BEFORE the tour bus does! Actually, I don't expect speed from Cracker Barrel, but they do a pretty good job of moving people through the restaurant. The food is always good, and I appreciate getting real butter and real maple syrup with my pancakes, unlike most other breakfast places. And the servers are always friendly and helpful. read more

Got on the waitlist ahead of arrival. Email received said 30 minute wait. Fifty minutes later we were seated but only because I complained. This was terrible service. read more

I haven't eaten at a Cracker Barrel in over 20 years and I was really looking forward to having dinner on the way back from Memphis. The service was decent but most of the food was terrible. The chicken and dumplings looked like mystery meat and the salad looked like it was pulled out of the dumpster. The only good thing they had going on was their Mac n cheese. read more
