    I've been craving pancakes from Cracker Barrel and decided to go. They have my favorite type of pancakes, with the crispy edge. I was hesitating on going to this location and I should have followed my thought to go to another location. It was a nice greeting and quick seating. The table area I was assigned to was a mess. The chair had some type of liquid on it, I had to clean it. There was a baby chair in front of the table with food and paper on the floor under it. There was food and wetness in a lot of spots on the floor in the whole restaurant. I asked the waitress if they could at least clean up the mess on the floor at my table. They came 20 minutes later to clean it up. A hostess removed the baby chair about 30 minutes after I was seated. I asked her was someone going to take my order. She asked me who is my waiter, I was disappointed that she asked me that when I hadn't even placed my order. When the waitress finally came she was actually really nice and served me well. The pancakes are the best for me. The eggs had a couple of pieces of egg shell in it, I crunched on it twice. The bacon was not well done, it was too soft. The biscuits have changed. They use to have homemade type of biscuits. These look like the ones in a biscuit can.

    The Shareables menu seems small for a restaurant, but the focus is on the entrees and sides. The White cheddar bites is fried cheese curds with a side of ranch. They come out hot with a thin batter and melting cheese. I chose the Classic country sampler (choice of crispy homestyle chicken, meatloaf, or chicken and dumplings). The meatloaf arrived lukewarm, so it was reheated and returned to me. It's a soft and thick slice of meat casserole filled with peas and minced bell peppers. The chicken and dumplings had large, thick slices of dumplings (soft) and large strips of pulled chicken (dry exterior but moist interior). The soup part was salty and creamy. The Mashed potatoes are pretty smooth with a few small chunks throughout. The brown gravy is typical. The Mac and cheese is made of small macaroni covered in cheese. A few cheese edges are burnt as if they were baked in a casserole. I did get (1) small and fluffy buttermilk biscuit and (1) slightly crispy exterior corn muffin. The basket comes with a few packs of Dickonson's jams (blackberry, strawberry, grape) and butter. The Coke cake is a rich and slightly warm chocolate cake that comes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The cake slice looked like a large chunk cut from a cake casserole, and the ice cream was not tightly packed but visually normal size. The interior looks like it did from several years ago. The soap was like water when I arrived, then was out when I was leaving, so I hope the staff members inside washed their hands. The staff members seem fairly friendly. I was a little surprised that you can't use the free shareable reward and order any of the deals (daily or early dinner specials) because Cracker Barrel's not going to let you combine discounts. Staff didn't tell me to walk to the cashier if I wanted to pay in-person and not via the QR code.

    I get holiday catering from this place pretty often and we love it! It's so easy to order and it comes beautifully boxed with instructions which make it taste like you cooked it yourself! And it is SO. MUCH. FOOD!! Really generous and a great value. But the best thing is the service!! Super sweet and polite and aiming to please!! If you want to enjoy your holiday with minimal effort and delicious home cooked food this is the way to do it!

    Place stays busy, went to the bathroom and they had just called my table. Walk up to the counter to find they had given it away in just 2-3 minutes ?? To a walk in .. regardless we got another table food was good service was on point. Loved the vegetarian sausage option and the house syrup is the best ! Lots of people around but hey it's breakfast time. Waiter refilled out coffee many times . Pretty on point for such a busy place. Had a little shop where you could purchase nick nacks and small random things.

    I censored the server to save him from public ridicule. He couldn't help being him.

    I was greeted & given a table at 2PM. Ordered a coffee when I sat down, never got it for 15 minutes and 2 servers later & it was cold, old & stale. Besides being empty, the place was bit dirty & messy. Ordered pancakes & sausage with eggs over easy. The sausage looked like they had been on the grill for the entire day. Black, hard & tasteless. The wife ordered a chicken dish which she said was good, so I added a star. (I was going with one) the server added no redeeming value to the experience, no, NONE... not even a little personality. I was going to get a mirror to see if he was breathing. again, I asked for a coffee that cost me 3.19 that I did not drink (BTW I Never send anything back) my NYC upbringing taught me to never send food or drink back. You have one shot at me that's it. Besides this is Cracker Barrel it should be right the first time out; it used to be like that...NO MORE! My food was awful, cold, dry, burned etc. The pancakes were old, taste like they put butter on some old pancakes and put them on a plate, cold, greasy... Terrible! I did not say anything to the server because we were not sure he was alive, no kidding. We ate what we could although in fairness to him he did bring out when we left the corn bread & biscuits, again old & stale. We did leave him 20% out of pity, my wife asked what do you think is wrong with this guy? I said lack of oxygen to the fetus, no joke he looked confused, very sad & depressed. (after all look where he was). Now we're at the cashier who asked "How was everything" my response was do you really want to know? OR are you trying to be congenial? She said did you not have a good meal? After I got done telling her how awful the food was, she apologized and asked "Why we didn't send it back to be replaced" I won't bore you with a redundant response. I thought when she heard the story she would say let me call the manager and have you speak to him, like an efficient run business would do, but no she looked sad as she took our $35.00 for the junk I was served, my wife on the other hand was satisfied with her meal, but I don't believe we will return to this I-45 Location, EVER! In closing I would like to say that the place looked sad, dirty, tired & dated, along with the help who look like the cast from Village of the Damned! My family used to love Cracker Barrel but like most things today it will fade into the past, I don't see this location (Airtex & I-45) staying in business (especially at those prices) too much longer. Cracker Barrel, get with it, I hear bad things about the restaurants, you should try to save the few customers you have left.

    On our way to the airport from Magnolia and had to stop here. Great food (omg their fried chicken), our server was the funniest, and it's always so cozy inside. Not to mention as someone from CA the prices here are insanely good.

    We ordered our Thanksgiving meals from Cracker Barrel this year due to several personal reasons. We ordered the Turkey feast (feeds 8-10 people) and the glazed ham. Two sides, rolls, and a pumpkin pie come with the turkey feast. We obviously added an extra pecan and some more sides for good measure. I loved the idea of everything pre cooked and essentially "warming up" everything. For me personally, it was the only convenient way to do Thanksgiving this year. Given the warm up instructions of the main course, sides and rolls, you do need to factor in timing of when food goes in and out. Other than that I was a fan of this. Now how much does something like this cost? Well for us, we paid about $285. Keep in mind that's two turkey breasts , ham, pecan pie , extra sides etc. Peace of advice , listen to the serving size here. We totally ordered way too much food for 4 people. I assumed portions were small and not realistic. I was wrong. Love : the fresh turkey with its natural juice (when it comes out it's pretty close in taste with the real deal), pumpkin pie is just good, Cracker Barrel rolls are too. Sweet potatoes casserole was good. Not so good: cornbread dressing was okay , turkey gravy was okay, and the mashed potato was okay as well. All in all I enjoyed this experience. I ordered online, I paid with a credit card and had a set time and location to get it from. I didn't even have to go in the store as the location had a drive thru in back for any heat n serve items. I can't say I'll always do this route for Thanksgiving BUT this year with family health issues and a 7 month year old. I can't see how I could realistically do everything the more traditional route. Hope it helps! Take care. -Rick

    Never seen this horrible biscuits in cracker barrel before

    Cockroach eww and flat biscuits ??? Left quickly spoiled my appetite. The lady in the back kitchen I saw her just popping in food while in the back kitchen I've never seen this before but hey there is a first for everything lol

    Worst Cracker Barrel experience ever, we got sat and waited at the table for 5 minutes and no one came to greet us. I tried to call over one of the servers and he made eye contact with me and proceeded to walk away and keep talking to a coworker who was already off( his name is Eric I looked at his name tag and when I asked the manager he told me Dave...). I had to go to the host stand and ask where the waitress is. Some other guy who wasn't the waitress came to help and he said the server would be right with us and still nothing...! We asked them for biscuits and never received them as well. We came around 2:20 pm past the breakfast rush and somehow didn't get good service. The bathroom didn't have any soap in both of the dispensers and there was just a hand sanitizer that was practically empty there in the rr. And one of the employees said just to use that. Sooo umm the employees aren't washing their hands while working? My Mac and cheese also had a lot of burnt black pieces all in it which is not right at all.

    Our server, was very attentive. And got our order just right. The server who brought our food out was also great! Our food was cooked perfectly, and everything tasted great. Our only issue was our table had crumbs left on it and it took awhile to get our order in. Not a big big deal, just explaining our experience. Check out was easy, and all the staff was on point and courteous. I love the store as well. It has all kinds of small gifts. I ended up purchasing a few items for gifts. The store itself gives you the country home feel, it would be hard not to find something of interest in the store.

    Our waitress was great it was the Togo food that I had a problem with. I had bought Togo food for my daughter to eat and in the middle of eating it she finds a whole glove in her food making her lose her appetite.

We started by sharing a couple of appetizers - the smoked redfish dip and the biscuits. I'm weird about smells and aftertastes - and was hesitant to try the smoked redfish dip. The dip was flavorful and very smoky - the crackers it is served with were amazing. The aftertaste was tolerable, but a little fishy for me. The biscuits - I could write poems about them. I'd go back to eat baskets of just those biscuits. Highly recommend. My husband ordered the fried catfish platter - it was amazing. The catfish nuggets were crunchy and HOT (temperature), the fries were perfectly seasoned and the hush puppy was a crunch heard around the globe. Sadly, the shrimp and grits arrived to the table at room temp. The flavor was really good, but I was worried to mention the temp issue and have the kitchen nuke them in the microwave. The red beans and rice were similarly room temp and congealed. The restaurant atmosphere was lovely, the service was solid, and on a Tuesday evening we could have walked in and been seated quickly. Overall, it was a nice evening with our friends. Sometimes the company makes up for small disappointments.

We were sat relatively quick, I would put reservation for this place if I were you, but when we came it wasn't too busy. We were sat and was greeted by our server, Fabian. The vibe was very nice, had the R&B jams in the background but wasn't overly loud to where you can't converse. It was a beautiful sunny day outside and it reflected all throughout the large windows of the restaurant. A+ for the ambiance. We started off with mimosa carafes for the table, great blend of juice and champagne. No complaints at all about the mimosas. He started us with a round of biscuits, with butter & jelly on the side. Would give it overall rating of 8.5/10, I actually liked them they weren't too sweetened like other biscuits. For food, I ordered the Buttermilk Waffles, turkey links, and side of Smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese. The food was good, above average in my opinion. The buttermilk waffles weren't overly crisp but still had nice warm flavor (8.7/10), turkey links were satisfactory (8.1/10), and the mac & cheese was above average as well, not out of this world but pretty good nonetheless (8.0/10). In my opinion, I give this restaurant a 5-stars, not just because of the food (4 stars), but just the overall experience. The ambiance was great, our server was hilarious, kept us entertained the entire time, and they were convenient nonetheless. They do 20% auto-gratuity as well. Was a calmer brunch with a good vibe, something that is very underrated in a city like Houston. I would recommend this place if you have older adult family in town or if you want an experience more... "demure" for a Sunday. I heavily recommend you ask for Fabian as well, very good server for us.

Want to start by saying I loved the atmosphere. Loved being able to sit at a bar, loved the music, and service was superb. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Catfish was pretty good. It had the perfect crunch and a plentiful portion so no complaints. Sides were good but not something I'd rave about. The étouffée was pretty solid but the Brussels could've been better. Maybe seasoning them a little more, cutting them in halves, and charring them would've done the job. Peach cobbler was so yummy. I loveeeee how they have offer for preferences with the peach cobbler (more crust, more filling, or neutral) because I personally love more crust. Kool aid was good but could stand to be just a tad bit less sweet with more flavor. All in all if you have a catfish craving and want good vibes and service I'd 1000% endorse this spot.

Feels good when an establishment takes pride in their customer's feedback and puts a plan into action. Honestly, part of me was hoping that last time was just a fluke or an off day. This time around, everything from the service to the food was great. We had a 12:30 Sunday reservation for two and opted to sit inside this time. We ordered the cast-iron cornbread, chargrilled oysters, and a cup of gumbo each to start. For entrées, I had the Gulf Fish, while my husband went with the crawfish Florentine. Everything came out beautifully timed, almost like a perfectly paced three-course meal, which obviously made the whole experience feel elevated and relaxed. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and on top of everything without being overbearing.
