It's great to have the "old" Cracker Barrel back! The atmosphere is always warm, inviting, and interesting to look at all the antique decor as we wait for our food. It also assists with stretching conversations without the use of phones. The grilled chicken tenders are so delicious and tender. I'm not sure what the marinade is, but it is an absolute favorite of mine. The sweet carrots and fried okra are the best around. The food is always work the half hour drive! The turkey and dressing dinner was perfectly complimented by the broccoli. Food is always served promptly and with courtesy. No trip to Cracker Barrel is complete without a stroll through the store where we always walk away with a perfect gift for a loved one, a cozy candle, or fun toy. read more

I believe I lost my magnetism toward Cracker Barrel. Cracker Barrel is always just Cracker Barrel if you've been to one or a dozen and one it is completely the same Country Store and somewhat southern flavored country meals. We came for breakfast the better-half lives their pecan pancakes the special added two over medium eggsand bacon! I got the old timers breakfast with 2 over medium eggs sausage patties hasbrown casserole and biscuits and sausage! The sausage patties are similar to Jimmy Dean and are probably premade and heated with your order and are a bit rubbery! I do get they are efficient and things do come off a line! It doesn't make it better just fast Mykenna our server pleasant and efficient . read more

We drove by on our way back and stopped to get lunch in this area. They said the wait was about 20 minutes but ended up being a little less. There's a cute gift shop area in the front with a lot of cute trinkets from snow globes to lip balm and candy bars. There are a few candy sticks for 35 cents, I tried the lemon one and you can't really beat it for that price. Makes you feel like a kid again. There's tiny toys and clothes too. You can easily spend half an hour there. There are rocking chairs in the front too, if the weather wasn't so cold, I might actually have sat there! My first time having Cracker Barrel and it felt like a mix of Wendy's and Popeyes, chicken less crispy (in a good way) and baked potato more topped than just sour cream and chives. There was bacon, yet no additional fees!! I had cinnamon apples on the side and it was so good. Soft and the dipping cinnamon spread was delicious. Made me forget how much I liked cinnamon apples. My fiance had the salad as the side, I can't remember if it was additional fees but it was huge!! There would've been no way I would've finished my meal if I ordered it. Overall a lovely experience, great service. Would love to come back if I was passing by the area. read more

Hadn't been to a CB in quite a while, certainly not since the stupid logo kerfuffle... I had The Old Timer and my companion had the meatloaf. Meh... While my eggs were perfectly cooked, and the biscuits were good, nothing else was. The sausage patties on my plate could kill, either by ingesting or hitting someone. (To their credit, they did replace them.) The Hashbrown Casserole likewise had been sitting around a while and grown whiskers. To add insult, the coffee was lukewarm. My companions meatloaf and mashed potatoes were "forgettable". The service was excellent and the roaring fire enhanced what's left of my summer tan... And, they still sell CheerWine, Frosty Root Beer, Dots, and all the candies we grew up on... Sadly it looks like CB is fading. read more

The floor manager - Joy, black hair black glasses was extremely rude to us. We asked for party of 8 + child high chair and when requested extra seat for us because there were only 7 she patronized us in an arguing and ridiculing voice that we did not count correctly. Your General manager should sit her down and review customer service 101 - never be rude and condescending to your paying customers. read more

I wish to commend McKenzie our server. She is the best. Her positive attitude and energy made dining here a true joy

Food was great. And FAST! And ACCURATE! Tasted great. Over easy eggs are always PERFEct. Service was top notch. It's a great CB. I love the decor. Don't remodel. The old stuff is a great conversation starter and we can quiz the kids on what these things are used for. It's like a history lesson with every meal. We DRIVE PAST FOGELSVILLE to go to this HAMBURG CB. They are not as professional as these folks. Hamburg is a happy team and look like they always work together well read more

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, I love you! My wife and I left our Bed & Breakfast and we're on a mission: To bring back Cracker Barrel Pies for Thanksgiving That's right. Every Cracker Barrel Old Country Store has a pie rack during the holiday season. They load their rack with freshly baked pies. And all of this wonderful goodness is under $10 per pie. We left the store with a Cracker Barrel Old Country Store gift wrapped basket as well as 5 pies. Thank you Cracker Barrel Old Country Store for the freshly baked pies! read more

I have gone to many Cracker Barrels and the quality of almost everything was subpar at this location. Food was dried out, had been sitting, not hot and tasted awful. Soup was salty from sitting. Very disappointed and will think twice before going to any Cracker Barrel. read more

A relic from childhood, Cracker Barrel still serves up old country cookin' to weary travelers, conjuring memories of summer road trips and naps in the back seat. My only real sadness stems from the fact that a closer location doesn't yet exist. I would certainly high tail it over to the Barrel if it weren't a 40 minute drive each way. Allow me to pose a question to my fellow Barrel visitors - do you prefer peruse the shop before or after dining? Or do you tend to skip the shop entirely, unless forced by a lengthy wait? Man, this *does* sound like AI. This one for sure is going to sound the alarm. I seem to recall my allocated shop time to be that brief window between finishing the meal and waiting for Dad to settle the bill at the counter. There are two facets that stick out to me - the candy sticks, and the metal brain-teaser puzzles. First, the candy sticks. 25 years ago, I was but a child and a candy stick went for a dime. I'd buy 10 for a dollar and be set for a few days in the car during arduous voyages from Reading to Arizona. My favorite flavors were lemon, orange, and root beer. Seeing all the candy sticks lined up in their mason jars transported me back to my youth. These nostalgic morsels, like everything else, have not been immune to inflation. Your dollar now has half the candy stick buying power, and a Washington will only net you five in 2023. It just occurred to me these candy sticks are just candy canes without the hook part. I think you actually get less candy since the canes need to be longer to compensate for the bendy part. Oh how devious! If you've seen one, you've seen 'em all. This chain is known for its cookie cutter replication, down to the "antiques" that adorn the dining room walls. Some other signatures of a Cracker Barrel dining room are the high ceilings, three distinct sections separated by picketed, cross-shaped wooden walls, and of course the giant checkers set situated in front of a grand fireplace between two sets of doors that lead into the kitchen. Like the decor, the menu stays uniform through the years, with classic country standbys such as meatloaf, chicken fried chicken, and chicken n' dumplins. In recent years, however, I must say Cracker Barrel has been open to experimenting more with menu offerings, serving up seasonal variations of dishes for a limited time. Though I do appreciate the effort to stay fresh and avoid stagnation, Cracker Barrel has kind of earned the right to rest on its laurels. The shop combined with the dining room that reminds you of the old family living room (minus the 50-foot ceiling) is enough to enchant the hearts of another generation of young travelers. read more

I typically like the Grilled Chicken Tenders dinner. However, this time, something seemed off. The chicken seemed closer to blackened than I was used to. It was NOT dry, but it was moist in an odd sort of way. I cut one piece open and it looked OK, but then again, I'm not Chef Ramsey. But right when I was pulling out of the parking lot, I felt something bubbling up so I went right to the Wawa across 61 and had an urgent "diarrhetic event". Had another one within the space of an hour. Hadn't eaten anything for hours before I went to that restaurant. Expressed this concern directly to Cracker Barrel Guest Relations via their website. What I got back was nothing more than a general template response which could be easily used for any number of customer concerns. No real caring on their part was evident. I guess I'm done with Cracker Barrel. read more

Good food and good service. Always a stop on our family road trips. Only wish we had one closer to our house and it would be a weekly stop. read more

Food was fast and awesome. Almost as good as homemade. Service was incredible especially since the place was Brijid J did a great job for us and really hustled read more

For the most part they all look the same which is just fine. This is the shop before you get into the restaurant. Plenty of trinkets and snacks and souvenirs and such. Most are unique items. Good way to spend time in case there's a wait for a table which can happen on weekends. Also a good place to stop after the meal as well. Grab some stuff on the way out. I recently bought my niece to one and she loved it. There's also plenty of rocking chairs outside which you can definitely enjoy! read more

Everything went well. I loved our waitress. I ordered the new herb roasted half chicken dinner and it was delicious and enough for two meals. If you want to change the ambience, go for it!!! I can't understand what people complain about it? You go there to eat? read more

So to start off . We came in 15 mins before they closed and they still sat us and made us feel so welcome and not as if we were a burden. The food was fresh and hot and brought out very fast .the entire staff including iliena (hopefully I spelled that right,it's Hawaiian)was the best. Best staff ever. read more

We had an amazing server who provided excellent service. Her name is Trisha, she kept checking on us and communicating with us about our food delays. She was super friendly, and kept saying she just "treat people the way she would want to be treated" . The world needs more Trisha's!!! read more

Hearing all the stories about Cracker Barrel curious to see what was going on! Haven't been to one on at least 15 years and that was always for breakfast . This time we tried lunch - Had the fried White fish with a loaded potato and fried okra/ fish crispy and tasty Along with the okra -loaded potato a no no! Along with this I ordered the sampler- fried chicken- good ( crispy and good spices ) Chicken with dumplings was more like a lot of wide , gelatinous egg and flour mixture With gravy and minimal shreds of chicken ! Along this was a thick slab of overcooked, burnt on the top meatloaf- uneatable-a few bite and I needed a barf bag! Best and only redeemable part of the experience was our server Danielle/amazing , friendly and all the qualities one wants when dining out ! Been there / Done it /can't see how this chain survives read more

I used to love stopping here with my daughter when she was little. The gift shop with unique items plus the peg game on the table made this a kid friendly experience. But, stop there with an elderly parent and the store seems tired, the peg game sits unplayed and the food is just mediocre. read more

Was here this morning. Here are the issues: Asked for sugar for coffee when ordered drinks. That took 3 requests to get. Ordered eggs over easy and you can see in the bowl what I received. Wife ordered lemon water. That took 3 requests to get the lemon. We watched the server write it down when ordered. Friend ordered bacon crispy. Did not come out that way. Had to request it a 2nd time. Other friend's meal came with fruit. Had to request a 2nd time after the meal came. She also ordered eggs over medium and got over easy. Once I showed the server my "over easy egg" and repeated all of the issues she got the manager. He was completely rude! Showed him the center of my egg and he said he wanted to see the whole egg. The entire hard yolk was in the bowl! Told him all the other issues and he kept saying he couldn't hear me, from the other end of the table. So I got up, walked over and told him to his face. I also told him the table next to us got their food well before us and even though they got there well after us (even the server apologized when she brought it out). The manages rudely asked if he was supposed to hold their food until ours came out. The "manager" tried blaming me for their incompetence!! To avoid physical contact I sat back down. Totally PO I didn't even eat. They took no responsibility and charged us full price for everything. I should have eaten at the hotel for free!! read more

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - Over easy egg???? - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hamburg, Pennsylvania

If you are a person of color- do not go to this Cracker Barrel! The food is good, but it felt like the entire staff was trying to rush us out, did not want to come to the table, and the people in the local area don't seem very friendly when it comes to people of color (speaking from a Black experience). I love Cracker Barrel, and each area definitely has a certain vibe that's always a bit off, but the Cracker Barrel in Hamburg is a definite NO! read more

Needs healthy food choices , it's an outdated overly fat high caloric menu. The gift shop concept is cute.

Took the wife and kids to eat , the place was pretty busy , took a bit for the server to take our order which is fine , she was very nice . I had the steak and shrimp , which was pretty tough , tasty though , one of my sons had a burger , my wife had hot honey chicken , and my two other sons had Mac and cheese. 3 of us who had meat got sick. I joked around prior because I saw guys wearing their aprons throwing trash out in the dumpsters. Probably won't be back. read more

Their Chicken Fried Chicken is amazing, and the staff are super friendly, not often you go to a restaurant like that

My first time trying Cracker Barrel and loved it. There is a cute store to buy stuff (clothes, snacks) while waiting to be seated. The staff was very nice and informative. The Mac and cheese and dumplins were my favorite. read more

I do enjoy Cracker Barrel but today was the exception. I wanted something simple so I ordered the hashbrown casserole with two eggs OM on top. The casserole was rubber and cold. First time ever. The eggs were cool and past OM. Almost solid. Oh well.... Other had ordered more and I had a biscuit with gravy.... Which was what I always expect here. Just right. Definitely disappointed..... read more

Horrible service! Waited 45 minutes for the sloth to deliver our food! That's after waiting 30 minutes for her to take our order! Then, to cap it off, she gave us the wrong check! read more

They revamped the menu since my last visit. It appears that they changed their whole supply chain/ products, and not great.

Worst meal we ever had! Second time this happened! Roast beef was cold, hubbys trout was lukewarm so this tells me it sat back there! $37.00 for mashed potatoes and corn for me. Hubby ate a little fish and apples. Couldn't eat the Cold meals. No more chances for this place ever! read more

We stopped by after a day trip to PA from NY. One of the best fried chicken we've had in awhile! There was about a 40 min wait but we had time and we didn't make a reservation prior so understood if others took priority. Service was great overall (our server was really sweet and helped cater to our 1.5 yr old) - missing 1 star since I felt we were being rushed out and we weren't done eating yet. The store connected to it is filled with nostalgia - so many goodies I haven't seen or eaten since I was younger. There's also these kitschy home decor items that are fun. read more

Good food and service. It was a cute country atmosphere. We enjoyed breakfast! My kids loved the cereal haha

Chicken fried chicken is two chicken breasts fried, and they're good!! Sides were not great, partly because not served warm. Deep fried okra are tiny balls deep fried. They taste salty and fried. Waitress took fried okra back to kitchen to reheat for me. Corn was pretty bland. Steak fries better if served hot. Cornbread muffin pretty good. Dark chocolate chip pancake with butter and syrup eaten later as dessert pretty good. Biscuit sliced in half toasted w PB& J at home was good. Service was good, waitress kept checking on us. Great atmosphere at Cracker Barrel. read more

Here's the Scoop: I.ordered this Southern fried chicken and oh boy was it good. It's everything they say it is. Finger lickin' , toe tappin' good!!!! My first bite melted into my mouth with the crispy outer crunch. Juicy fried seasoned chicken! I was in heaven!!! Oh my goodness I haven't had fried chicken this good in a long, long time. If you ever see a sign for a Cracker Barrel while on the road you must stop detour and get some. I'm telling you with a glass of sweet tea, mashed potatoes and string beans. Yesssssss! So good!!! It was worth the stop pulling off of the NJ turnpike for this fabulous meal. The portions are on point and the price is too. Fried and seasoned to the bone. Not greasy just delicious!! Every bite. I'm drooling writing this review. Lol Definitely worth a stop. Oh and I would be remiss if I didn't mention the baked sweet potatoes with cinnamon, marshmallow and walnut. Oh my goodness!!!! Delish!! read more

DO NOT GO HERE! the food here was DISGUSTING! when i go to cracker barrel i usually order the chicken and dumplings but when i ordered them here i gagged. the waiter who was serving us was very kind but when she brought out my dumplings i looked at them looked at my friend and we both almost threw up because my dumplings had so much water just sitting at the bottom of the bowl. they gave me more water then they gave me dumplings. then when i returned my food and ordered chicken tenders. they were EXTREMELY overcooked but i ate them anyway because we were on a long road trip. DO NOT GO HERE!!!! read more

Very slow service in one of our favorite places. The food was good not great as past times. My wife in I live 15 mins away, we always have a twice a month family get together with all my grandchildren and daughters.

Not happy but I paid my bill. read more
