Let's face it. The only reason we go to Cracker Barrel is to go shopping in the store. I think the food there is mid. The service is always friendly. The ambience is Cracker Barrel read more

The food SUCKS And REALLY bad at that. It might just be the location. But my chicken and dumplings were served cold to me as if they were sitting out for an eternity! The country fried steak had gravy that resembled really really thick pudding it was gelatinous. The fried baby okra tasted likes earthy mucus The pinto beans were microwaved that certain bits of them were gummy like tootsie rolls. The Mac and cheese was a glob of yellow paste that lifted altogether with one forkful and The cinnamon buns were dry as hell. The biscuits and corn muffins were hard and old. The Pancakes were flat and greasy asf. Service was really bad. Waiter threw the check at us read more

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - It looks good. It is 100% NOT! Do not waste your money !! - American Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

First let me stress the service was great. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Zero issues with hospitality. However, the food is so bad. So. Bad. Three of us are there Friday night, all three have been stomach sick since. It didn't even taste good going in but we were hungry and it was late. Never again. read more

I had a terrible experience tonight. Everything was sticky, the tables, menus, just about anything I touched. The hostess tried to sit a party of 5 at a table for 4, mind you the place was practically empty. The grits had bay leaves throughout. The dumplings didn't taste the same from one plate to the next. We ordered apple butter and never received it even when we tried to remind the waitress. It felt like no one cared about the food or customer service within the restaurant. It wasn't until I was paying at the front that someone was interested in making sure the experience was good. By then it was too late. read more

This store has a large parking lot and is a typical Cracker Barrel. I didn't come to eat, but just browse the shop and the candy and toys. If you've seen one Cracker Barrel then you know this is identical. Clean, busy and fun to spend time. read more

When I pulled up to park, I saw a tour bus, so I knew it would be busy this Friday. I only waited fifteen minutes for a table. Nevertheless, Shakira provided excellent, friendly service, and the Friday fish fry special is always a welcome treat. I heard some Cracker Barrel Stores are remodeling without the general country store vibe. If that's the case, it's not the Cracker Barrel we know and love. read more

After a long day of travel, we stopped in for some comfort food and were happy to be seated promptly. We all know that it often takes a while to get a table, and it's usually worth the wait. The hostess seated us at a table by the window, per our request and we waited for our server to come and get our drink order. We watched, as they seated two tables after us, get their drink orders. We were still waiting to be acknowledged. There were several different servers coming in and out of the kitchen looking in our direction, but still we waited. Finally, the hostess walked by, and we figured we would get served. NOPE! At this point, we had had enough and got up to leave. Seeing we were leaving, the hostess and server snickered and ducked into the kitchen without a word or an apology. And that will be the last time I ever see the inside of a Cracker Barrel. read more

First of all, I am a little biased, as I enjoy Cracker Barrel. Monday afternoon, late lunch. I started with a side salad. It was very good. It taste fresh. For my lunch I had the southern grilled chicken. The chicken was a little undercooked, and the vegetables, or a little overcooked. But the service was good, and I did enjoy my lunch. read more

I love CB - it's my favorite comfort food! We haven't been to the Harrisburg location in a while, so we stopped in Wednesday night around 5:30. We were sat pretty quickly, but the two hostesses didn't know what was going on/who was doing what. We waited at least 5 minutes to be greeted by our very friendly server. At least 10 mins went by before we received our drinks. She passed our table several times and finally said, "oh my gosh. I forgot your drinks. I'm so sorry". I waited tables, I get it. We waited for forever for food. Tables sat after us were getting theirs and other servers were standing around, staring at the tables. We hadn't seen our server in at least 15 mins. We ordered premade entrees - chicken and dumplings and meatloaf. So we continued to wait. When our food came out, it was lukewarm - but not cold (I would have sent it back if it were cold). I believe our food sat there while all the other servers stood around. Again, I've waited tables and we were always required to run other servers food. I'm in no rush to go back, but we'll see! read more

Came here Monday morning.... I was looking forward to coming back here but was disappointed with the service & food. The place was extremely crowded for a Monday morning. We ordered our food & drinks. Waitress brought the drinks - coffee, orange juice, half & half for drinks. Didn't see her again for another 47 minutes. Keep in mind, my mother ordered a coffee. Waitress didn't even come back to the table to ask if we needed a refill or even to inform us they were short staffed in the kitchen. Entrees: #1: Ordered 3 eggs scrambled hard with American cheese, bacon, fried catfish & cheese grits. Eggs were cold, not scrambled & not fully cooked. Cheese grits were cold and soupy. Fried catfish & bacon was the only good thing on the plate. #2: ordered 2 scrambled eggs, sausage patty and wheat toast. Eggs weren't scrambled and they had cheese. Waitress did ask and was told no cheese. Food was cold. Toast was the only thing she liked. #3: ordered 2 scrambled eggs with American cheese , sausage patty & pancakes. Eggs were cold. Pancakes were the only good thing on the plate. Looks like I won't be visiting y'all again. read more

Pancakes not good at all. First oof, they were cooked on a "dirty grill" meaning every food that needs to go on a grill the pancakes tasted like them greasy, burnt not like a pancake should taste. Cracker barrel claims " Breakfast all day!" Making that claim there should be a grill devoted to " breakfast foods" only nothing else but breakfast foods , no burgers, no steaks, no chicken just eggs, pancakes and bacon. Will not go to any Cracker Barrel again for breakfast or anything else. read more

Love Cracker Barrel, will never visit this one again. I ordered meatloaf, carrots, mashed potato. Friend ordered Smokehouse burger (bacon, cheese, frizzled onions). I'm guessing mine was plated and under the lights while his was being cooked med well. potatoes under those lights get rock hard, food was barely warm. His burger, no onions, when he asked, they were out of them. Maybe let us know? Waiter did take my plate back and microwaved it. still couldn't eat the potatoes. he brought out a new side dish full of potatoes, no improvement. we got the corn bread / biscuits when the meal came out. 1 pack of butter per roll / 2 of each in basket. We should have asked to speak to the manager, but we were over it by then. if I had been asked at checkout if everything was ok, you would have heard all this, not in a review. ps, when it is that windy out, don't burn a fire, I love a good fire, but when the wind is screaming down the chimney, all the smoke fills the dining room. We were there on 12/28/25 around 4pm read more

Attitude of waitress has ruined the potential dining experience. I wasn't prepared for the limited menu. read more

My wife and I stopped for lunch right around noon, not busy so we were seated right away. Server took our drink orders and delivered them quickly. Looked over menu for a few minutes to decide what to eat. Server came back and took our food order. My wife ordered the chicken and dumplings, and I ordered the pot roast with one side ( Broccoli). Ten minutes atter the manager came over to our table and informed me that they were out of pot roast because someone had just ordered a take-out order of five pot roast dinners and it would take another 25 min to cook more. The "take-out order" (she didn't say if it was pickup or delivery) couldn't wait but I could if I wanted it. Went back to the menu and ordered fried shrimp dinner. Waited at least 20 minutes for food to arrive. Different server. I guess the first server went home. Everything OK? NOPE! The server brought my wife fried chicken not chicken and dumplings and brought me some kind of shrimp skillet, just shrimp in some kind of sauce with a side of green beans and broccoli. Told server that this is not what we ordered so she took it back to the kitchen. Fifteen minutes later she brought out the chicken and dumplings (which my wife said was pretty good), had to ask for the biscuits. My fried shrimp (had fried shrimp and three little hushpuppies and nothing else on the platter - no fries or coleslaw, no dipping sauce) arrived with a side of Broccoli. The shrimp and hushpuppies were way over cooked - dark brown instead of a light brown - tough and chewy. It took longer to get the fried shrimp than the pot roast would have taken. (I guess take-out orders take priority over in house diners). Not going back there any time read more

My gf works here and when she served this chicken, the customer called her back and showed her that the chicken was raw mind you that the customer ate a bite out of the chicken that was straight raw my gf went to the cook and the manager to show them what the cook did and they both just laughed and said there is nothing they can do that can make someone really sick they don't care about their customers at read more

Good home style country cooking. Prices have gone up in recent years, but quality remains consistent. Our waitress was slow at this particular store, but that may be because of a long night spent celebrating 7/4. Do spend some time checking out their store to see some great inspirational messages hidden in plain sight; it's good for the soul. read more

service was terrible. waited and got our food but never got our drinks and half our sides were missing, had to wait with our food because we never received silverware-I love Cracker Barrel but this location should be avoided read more

Service was good but the food was horrible all breading too much salt and by the time I got back to the hotel I was burping it up. My daughter also got sick. Never again will I go. Within a few hours I got the runs. Don't go to this location unless you want to get sick. read more

Friends, we stopped in for dinner last evening at Cracker Barrel in Harrisburg. My wife and I ordered the special. Thursday's special was sliced turkey, sweet potatoes and stuffing. While the menu picture lured us in, take a look at the plate presentation that came out. This has the eye appeal of a Nursing home thanksgiving dinner! The turkey tasted great, but the sweet potatoes had the consistency of a thin milkshake with a few lumps. Then we have the stuffing, these were like dry cubes with their only salvation being the gravy. I mentioned how terrible the stuffing tasted and the consistency of the sweet potatoes. Our server mentioned that she didn't care for the stuffing either. When I paid the bill the clerk asked how my dinner was. I told him it was terrible and it was the worst that I've ever had a Cracker Barrel. He apologized and continued to take my money. This is not the Cracker Barrel of years ago, this is a chain that's lost its direction. I hesitate leaving comments like this, but this is the fourth time, at different locations that I've had a bad experience, and no one really cared to address it.. BTW: the server was just an innocent bystander in this mess, I think she needed her job too much to complain. We tipped her well! read more

We got the Easter heat and serve dinner this year and everything was delicious! I had to add the cinnamon apples, that are always delicious and my favorite. read more

Cracker Barrel is always a must on any road trip. My boyfriend and I hit up this location before driving back to Long Island. We were told it would be about a 30-35 minute wait, but we were sat in about 20 minutes. I did not take any pictures, so phone did not eat first this time. Everything was delicious as always. I had grandpa's country fried breakfast. The chicken fried chicken was delicious and I love that sausage gravy! Oh and biscuits...perfection. My boyfriend had momma's pancake breakfast with sausage and eggs. He throughly enjoyed. We also added the stuffed tater tots. Very good! Our waitress was Courtney and she was great! read more

I come here mostly with my mom bc she loves it. I have to say that i have never had a bad meal here. It's got a cute, cozy county feel and the fireplace adds a nice touch. The servers are always friendly and super attentive when we have our littles in tow. We have gotten food to go at my job and the orders are always correct and packaged very well. They even remember free add-ons that a coworker requested such as honey, butter & pickle ranch. Overall it's a pretty good value. Having the option of breakfast all day is also a plus. I'm partial to the fried chicken sandwiches. Mmm! read more

Food was consistent and hot. The cheesy potato casserole was amazing. Friendly service too!!!

Got their Easter family meal. Ham was delicious. Didn't use the glaze provided. Green beans were ok. Not sure if they were supposed to come with seasoning, but had to season them myself. Mac and cheese was pretty good. Instructions for carrots were wrong. Do NOT add water like the recipe calls for (butter sauce and brown sugar provided). Mashed potatoes were home made and delicious! Pies were good. Crust was not flaky like homemade. Rolls were good also. Overall the meal was a hit with the family. Would definitely purchase again! read more

Had a nice breakfast here. Server McKayla was excellent. Both my son and I were tired of a long road trip. He had his usual hamburger, while I did the French toast and bacon. All was pretty good. I think Cracker Barrel gets consideration for its consistency. Parking here wasn't fun. It took too much time to find a spot. Also I understand that inflation is for real, but they seem to have increased their prices substantially. I used to put them as a "great value" category, but cannot do that anymore. Still it's a good place to stop at. The country store is a lot of fun, and it's a very clean restaurant. read more

Fairly standard Classic Barrell - decent b breakfast, generous portions and warm atmosphere. Our server Ashley was a star - so friendly and helpful! We liked the biscuits and pancakes, though the coffees were definitely on the weak side. We'll be back next time we feel like a hearty indulgent breakfast. read more

Definitely not as good as it was a few years ago. Server was polite, and biscuits were excellent. A lot of stuff was on sale in the store.

Strike 1 - Specifically came for the catfish, but it's no longer on the menu. According to the waiter it is a supply chain issue. Strike 2 - The pictures all over the place advertising the Peanut Butter Cup Mocha had us wanting to try it. Nope, machine is broken. Strike 3 - Corn muffins served burnt. Cracker Barrel failure. No longer on the family favorite go-to. read more

1. Insufficient Handicapped Parking. There were empty spaces in the pick-up/delivery section but all placarded spaces were taken on a Saturday morning. There were maybe seven, but they need more. 2. 25-minute wait became 40 because of staffing issues. The servers were also bussing. A few idle employees were looking for things to do near the end of our visit while many people were waiting on many empty tables. 3. We ordered standard fare and waited 30-35 minutes for it to be brought out to us. 4. Our server was great. The servers tried their best to keep things moving with a smile. 5. The waiting area was overstuffed with merch. When you don't have seating for dozens of waiting customers, they block the merch. When they block the merch, what's the point of putting it out there? 6. I was wearing a mask and walking with a cane so the waiting area sucked beyond the telling of it. It's cold outside and those awesome rockers don't have the same appeal as on a summer evening. 7. The food was not so amazing to justify the weight. By the time we got it, our first meal of the day was just fuel. Their French toast is French toast. Eggs are eggs. Sausage is sausage. An hour and a half of sitting and standing make Waffle House and IHOP seem preferable. read more

After spending a few days in the capital of Pennsylvania, I planned to have a good breakfast before hitting the road back to the big apple. This particular location was very nice and accommodating. A cheerful woman met me at the podium and showed me to my seat. Once seated, I want eggs and smoked bacon with a side of grits. Its what I crave and it was brought to me within minutes. Excellent service, great food in a comfortable setting. It's why I love dining at any Cracker Barrel Old Country Store. read more

Seriously the best for comfort food! Can't go wrong with breakfast! Staff here is very friendly and I'm always very well taken care of!

Our service was extremely quick, we were in and out in less than 30 minutes. Our food was good and relatively cheap!

The food was amazing,Kim was amazing and should get a raise she was kind and sweet,the food came fast and great.watch out,the hot chocolate come with chocolate whipped cream, I never seen it before but it was great read more

So I finally made it to a Cracker Barrel after hearing about it for years & years. Well, I am so glad I did! It was really delicious breakfast. I ended up getting fruit, pecan pancake, hashbrown, grits, & chocolate pecan pie. Yes, I had to get pie since finding chocolate pecan pie is very hard & I simply love it. The service was great & friendly. Walking around the store where they have all kinds of chocolate, candy, & other tasty treats means you should eat before browsing the store. They even have clothing items as well as holiday gifts. The only reason why they didn't get five stars is they have a deer head carcass on their wall which is really disgusting, We're eating here ya know. read more

One thing about Cracker Barrels are they are product consistent, customer service consistent! They provide you with that hometown or southern comfort foods that fill you whether at breakfast lunch or dinner! Food is always hot and and plentiful! My favorite is the Chicken Fried Steak with the sawmill gravy my favorite sides are Pinto Beans & Turnip Greens but I won't turn down the potato casserole! read more
