The food was good, service was great, and the staff were friendly. But I'm prejudiced because I work there.

Cracker Barrel is a classic example of home cooked southern fare. I had the Pot Roast with onions and carrots, and mashed potatoes on the side. It is a hearty, delicious, plentiful, portion of beef, slow cooked, with carrots and onions. While you are there, don't forget their carryout meals for $5.00; featuring meatloaf and mac and cheese, or fried chicken with mac and cheese (they also have one other option which I can't remember off hand). Also check out the store which has cast iron cookware, clothing specials, decorations, candy, books and tapes. Cracker Barrel is old fashioned goodness. read more

One of the better Cracker Barrels for overnight parking. Yes, Cracker Barrel tolerates RVers using their parking lot for overnight and it's free with the kind request that if you could perhaps make a purchase, it would be appreciated. Tonight, it was the grilled catfish with a side salad and steamed broccoli. Cooked perfectly, served friendly and a completely delicious meal. The store is clean and tidy, well stocked with all the orange "Tennessee Volunteers" gear you could need if you're headed to a game. The parking area wasn't quite level but two leveling blocks solved that. And it was certainly quiet being this far away from the highway. I departed before 5am so no breakfast today!

The pancakes and eggs were good, but the meat was shriveled and burnt. Wish I could add a photo. my first time at this one, but my last experience at a different location was not good either. The food seems completely over processed and over cooked. read more

For breakfast or brunch. The mama's pancake breakfast is what I am all about For lunch or dinner, you will never go wrong with the meatloaf dinner! On the store side. Very clean store with a huge variety of merchandise at affordable prices. I had questions about some of the items I was thinking about buying and Tom was who helped me with making the decision to buy or not. Tom is definitely on his game about the merchandise in the store. We had a great general conversation about what I was looking for and he was able to get me out the door at a lot less than I had expected He has been with Cracker Barrel for 10 years and is a shift leader. Thank you Tom for making my visit a very pleasant one. I look forward to seeing you again soon read more

So we were a little late to order from the early dinner choices but the server said she would try. Wife and I both selected choices from there and picked the garden salad as one of our sides. The server brought the salads for us to start then said she was going to go put our order in. After a few minutes, she came back and said we would have to choose from the regular menu. I ordered the roast beef. My wife decided to share my order since all the other chicken dinners would be too much food. Server left to put our order in. 5 minutes later came to tell us they just sold the last of the pot roast. It was 7pm on a Wednesday evening. She then asked us to select a third option. I asked her to bring the bill and we would call it a day. 1, If she hadn't brought the salads before entering our order, I would have selected breakfast. But who wants fried eggs on lettuce. 2. She should have put our order in right away then the pot roast would be in my tummy right now. 3. The cook should have started another batch or pot roast when they started to get low. Not after they were out. 4. The manager should have offered to make it right ie comp the salad or something. When I went to pay the bill the manager had come to help cashier. That was great but he sent the regular cashier on some errand when he had a line of 4 customers. Let's just say my seven year old grandson could cashier faster the he did. I know this maybe expecting a lot from a restaurant, half full, mid week, out in the boonies. My daughter and my wife have both worked at Cracker Barrel. I have spent hours eating there and waiting for end of shifts. I have never seen it this bad. read more

It's Cracker Barrel. Other than their major screwup with changing the logo??? You always know what you're going to get. Good food, table games, a cool little shop to buy candy and trinkets and rocking chair on the front porch. read more

Very disaplointed in quality of food. I always came in for meatloaf dinner. You changed the recipe. Misding flavor ingredients that made it homestyle. Too dense. I have ordered 4 times and all 4 times it came out raw. 2 different stores. Seriously you csn kill someone with this. Dont tell me it was temped to 170. No way. I work in the food manufacturing on indudtry n know food law. Fix it. read more

Food is fresh and well made every time I've been here. Even the side items are excellent. Lemon pepper trout is my fav. Better than most seafood restaurants! And the chicken pot pie was really good too. Check my pics. In addition, the servers have all been very pleasant and helpful every time I'm here. And let's not start with breakfast and their pancakes! read more

My family and I stopped into the Cracker Barrel on May 21st. We arrived at 9:15 PM and the restaurant closes at 10 PM. We were a party of five. This was store # CB0006 in Harriman, TN. This visit was less than inspiring than were other instances with visits to other Cracker Barrel restaurants. I'm giving this dining experience only three stars for the following reasons, all having to do with food quality. The wait staff was friendly, attentive and efficient. I ordered a country fried steak, fried okra and a tossed salad. The fried okra was only warm and not fresh from the fryer like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for an extended time. The lettuce for my salad was not cold and crisp but rather limp like it too had been sitting for some time. The country fried steak had a strong greasy flavor which I found undesirable. Others in my party reported that their meals were satisfactory. These included chicken pot pie, roast beef, classic hamburger. One general complaint I had at this and other Cracker Barrel restaurants is, if you want their classic southern fried chicken platter you must accept the chicken pieces that come with it. There is no choice if you want to substitute pieces. I, personally, don't like the breast and asked to substitute a thigh or a drumstick for the breast. The waitress said no so I asked for a manager and, he too, said that it was their policy to only offer a thigh, breast, drumstick and a wing and that no substitutions would be allowed. For this reason I declined the fried chicken and opted for the country fried steak when what I really wanted was fried chicken. I believe this policy is unnecessarily rigid and would affect my restaurant choice in the future if I had a hankering for fried chicken. In all fairness I must say that we came late and were the last ones out of the restaurant at 10:25 PM. This may explain the luke warm fried okra and the soggy salad but I expect quality to remain stellar until the last minute. After all, they don't discount the food price even if you arrive late. In summary, I think the food is generally good at most Cracker Barrels I have eaten at. I just think that they could have done better on the night we were there. read more

Really good the theme is nice the hot chocolate during Cristmas time is really good and it's a good lunch after church

We are huge Cracker Barrel fans! You have to visit if you like great southern cooking and a little shopping for unique gifts, clothes and household items. The pancakes are my hubbies favorite. They are thin, crispy, buttery and delish! read more

Been here several times and just never did a review well, here it is. Came in and was greeted with a happy, smiling face. Was seated immediately. Kiddos to the hostess that took in consideration that I'm walking with a cane and got us a close seat, not too far to walk. The place is pretty busy- We was greeted by our waitress and she promptly took our order. I ordered the chicken dumplins' dinner with mashed potatoes with brown gravy and buttered corn....fresh biscuits. Everything was delicious. Hot, fresh and great! read more

Not one mask on ANY staff employee. No matter how good the food is..its not worth dying for. Shame on you Cracker Barrel for letting your employees ignore the CDC and risk the health of all who patronize you. I expected a safe eating environment. Now I wonder if I should get tested. read more

Food was all over cooked yet and not fresh! The pancakes were a disaster. This location should be shameful to this franchise. We did pickup while waiting on our RV on the parking lot. So disappointing . read more

I ordered something from DoorDash from them even though I was very close by. I told them some of my food should have been in the bag that I was charged for, and I was treated very rudely even though it would have taken them two minutes to walk it over. They tried to blame it on the Door Dash driver, but they would not even acknowledge their screw up. I would have posted zero stars if I could have. read more

Great location just off of the interstate, we come here often and have never had a bad experience. The food is great and the service is top rate read more

Cracker Barrel is a staple with good ambiance that matches their design. The cornbread and tea are always exceptional. I have visited many Cracker Barrels throughout the U. S. The food is consistent from site to site. The service is the most variable. The Harriman store has always had good service. My last waitress was Alyssa (hope I didn't butcher the name). Her service was exceptional. She kept my glass filled and always smiling and pleasant though she had several tables that were filling rapidly. read more

This is a typical, nice-ish Cracker Barrel which is as good as many, and better than most...with one exception which I shall mention shortly. The waitress was young, keen and very good. The food was the usual Cracker Barrel fare; good, solid, southern country cooking. My wife ordered catfish which she said was excellent. I ordered chicken fried steak and sides of mashed spuds and beans. It all came with freshly made biscuits and corn bread, and the tea and coffee was good. So, what could be wrong? To recap, the food was good, the restaurant was nice, the service was excellent. Not one person, not one - servers, cleaners, greeters, register operators - Not one was wearing a mask. At a time when thousands die daily, and Tennessee manages less than 50% fully vaccinated and the management cares so little about staff and customers that it doesn't ask staff to wear masks. The food is good, but it's not worth dying for. We won't be back. read more

A lot of CB are "Meh" regarding the food, sometimes good, sometimes below par. However, I had no complaints on this place, the food all being very tasty compared to other CBs. And while Alex was attentive and thorough setting up my order and to-go order (well, almost... my second sweet potato is missing), the standout employee was Nick, who was super nice when he came over for a brief chat. I dont think he was a regular server, more like a greeter. He mentioned the beautiful day and liking to see people's smiling faces. When I told him that it wasnt fair that I couldnt see his, he very briefly pulled down the mask and flashed a toothy smile. That smile was the highlight and best ending of my day. Thanks, Nick. read more

We went in on Saturday for an early dinner. We were seated promptly. Drinks were quick and order was taken. I had the special, 2 fried pork chops and my sides were green beans and hash brown casserole. My dinner partner had blueberry pancakes with a side of bacon. This was not my first time eating at this location and it will not be my last. Probably my favorite Cracker Barrel to eat at. I wish I would have got our waitresses name. She was outstanding. I look forward to going back. read more

Attempted to use app for mobile order and never could succeed. So, attempted to call in, again, no success. I cannot fault the on-site workers for such but can say that be prepared to wait for extended periods when actually dining in. Food is typically good but just a rather slow process. read more

Everything was perfect! Hard to make perfect breakfast food but the nailed it. Service was wonderful thank you Christy D!!

We stopped for breakfast and were served a feast. Every thing on our Sunshine sampler seemed bigger and yes even more delicious than in other states. Our server was sweet and kind. She had 5 stars on her apron so definitely loyal. We never pass up an opportunity to stop at Cracker Barrel . Lunch and dinners are fantastic also . And if you need a unique gift this is the perfect place. read more

Everyone enjoyed their food here. Our waiter was very kind and helpful. I had the grits and those are always good at Cracker Barrel.

Haven't been in awhile because every time I e been my food is always cold. Nice ambiance but lack luster food.

Most time the food is awesome and the service fo me is great! One of my favorites is the dumplings. And I love the mama's pancake breakfast. Yummy!! But I can't go out without wanting to look at all the goodies in the store. read more

When I get awful service, there's two types of managers that show up to my table. Ones that think of the profits first, and ones that think of the customers first. The managers at Cracker Barrel in Harriman are the former. They smile and wait patiently for you to yell at them. To make a scene and make demands before they open their pocketbooks and reduce the price of your meal. That's not my personality. I just can't bring myself to yell at a manager or server. So... instead of a free meal, I'm leaving a bad review. Shame on you for thinking of profits first. Shame on you for penalizing civilized people and only rewarding angry, shouting customers. read more

I will not be coming back. I've attempted to eat here several times, but each experience at this location has been poor. Staff are usually friendly, but there are few effective workers and no effective management. Multiple times, I've had to wait over an hour to receive my order. This happens most often when very few guests are present. read more

Well, it's a Cracker Barrel. Pros: Good location on the interstate. Good southern dishes. Excellent breakfasts. The best part of the meal was the waitress. Liberty was friendly, fast, knowledgeable and seemed to be enjoying her job. She redeemed the entire experience. Cons: Our meals were mostly cold. Gravy was extremely thick, almost like paste. I should have sent it back, but it wasn't that big of a deal. Well, it's a Cracker Barrel. read more

Service was great (can't remember her name), and the eggs I got were probably the most perfect over medium eggs I've ever gotten in a restaurant. Sweet tea was weak, though. It looked like apple juice, and since I don't drink coffee, I was hoping it would be the kick start I needed. Oh, well... The gift shop had some DOPE Harry Potter t-shirts, though! read more

Waited 45 minutes for an order for 3 people watched people that came in after us eat. I don't know if our order got lost or what but this use to be one of my favorite places and I was so disappointed we left without even eating. I realize everyone is short staffed but this was ridiculous never offered biscuits or even checked on us. Terrible service will not go back read more

We'd just gotten into town November 3, checked in to the motel, and Cracker Barrel was a few doors down for an easy dinner. The place was packed. But we got a table right away. YIPPEE!! I sat on the end (five of us). I don't remember what everybody got, but I saw a pork chop, fried catfish, fried other fish and meat. I got the turkey 'n dressing special. Skip the dressing. Skip the gravy. Two sides: broccoli; and tomato, onion and cucumber salad. I think I was supposed to get another side, since I passed on the dressing, but I didn't argue the point. The broccoli was cooked beautifully -- itty-bitty pieces. The salad was fine, but brought out on an "I forgot," so it was slopped together with mostly cucumber, one piece of red onion and one piece of tomato (nothing like the composed salad my sister got). The turkey was the driest turkey I've ever had in my whole life. NOW I understand why people put gravy on turkey. And I HATE gravy. Our server was friendly and lovely, considering the crowd. She brought out biscuits and cornbread before the meal came. The plate was heavy on biscuits, so my brother-in-law didn't get the cornbread he ordered. We got fed. And everyone was pleasant. read more

This is the only Cracker Barrel that I have visited that makes such a big deal over giving you biscuits with your meals. They act like they are made of Gold. You order a breakfast my and they want to limit the amount you get or they tell you a pancake breakfast doesn't come with biscuits. I am thinking what about the eggs and bacon that I am also getting. The restraint has really went down hill since management change. Obviously it is not workers fault since no other Cracker Barrel has this problem. Had sworn was going to stop going to one in in Harriman but not much choice in the county. read more

It's been a while since I have been to Cracker Barrel, but I came with a group and the experience actually exceeded expectations. Most of the items on the menu are "heavy" like their specialty, chicken fried steak and country gravy. But because I recently had stomach surgery, my diet is severely limited. I did have a fresh grilled trout meal for about $11 that was nicely prepared, presented, and tasty. Can't remember what wife had, but I recall she enjoyed it. Group travels to this area once a year and ALWAYS stops here, so we'll be back, for sure. read more

As with any Cracker Barrel, this place is busy. Came in the store , had a short wait to get a table ( as expected ) Waitress's to other tables get coming and going, no one stopped at my table. When hostess seated another table next to mine I asked her to get a waitress for me. When one finally showed up, I had been seated for 8 minutes. I could see the kitchen digital clock fro where I was seated. When I mentioned the extended wait to the waitress her excuse was she was working on a to go order! I don't know how long I would have sat there had I not said something to the hostess. Waitress now has a bad attitude to me. Tough. I told her to relay my concerns to manager. Apparently she did not. He has walked by me a couple of times. When I check out I will leave only a five cent tip. Perhaps that might get someone's attention. I'm usually a very good tipper. But I just hate to be ignored. Only recourse is poor tip and poor review. Poor management in not having proper staffing only hurts the staff , in their pocket via low tips. Apparently the manager is too busy bussing tables. On a positive not, food wasn't to bad. I just cannot understand how a floor waitress is pulled from her tables to put together a to go order in the back. Is it the hostess fault for seating me at a table with no waitress? Who knows. Manager never made the effort to explain anything to me. Waitress has come back to table wanting to comp my check. I told her no thank you. I always pay. I never ask for anything free no matter how bad. read more

Absolutely, completely and totally DONE with this location. 12 minutes after being seated not a single server had come up to us. Went to hostess to request a hostess, result, she and another hostess stood there pointing at us and laughing. Server comes to table, nice enough she was. Placed order, 27 minutes later food arrives. WRONG order! Corrects order, still wrong. Asked for manager, many apologies to avoid us talking to manager. Finally manager arrives. Tell him up front I do not want a refund. He never really admits to issues, keeps trying to comp the meal. I tell him, I don't want a free meal, I want service. Finally had to tell him to put the check back on the table and just know we would not ever be back at that location. It's always the same, slow service, incorrect orders and don't give a flip attitude. read more
