There are a lot of Yelp complaints about the Cracker Barrel at Bellmead. According to the voters, the quality of the food has gone dramatically down. My fried chicken dinner was completely fine. There was more fried chicken than I could possibly eat. More than I can possibly eat is always a good thing. * * * Is this A) dedicated Cracker Barrel traditionalists fuming after the attempt-to-change-the-logo fiasco? B) a local restaurant with a lousy manager who let things go to the bow-wows? C) a systemic decline in a the whole chain brought on by the same brain-out-to-lunch MBAs who had the change-the-logo idea in the first place? D) a global crisis in the supply chain based on an inability to get good biscuit flour from China? I suspect we can rule out Explanation D. But then I would have ruled out Cracker Barrel trying to change their logo as well. As for the other three explanations, I would have to eat a lot of Cracker Barrel meals at a lot of Cracker Barrel locations before I could answer that question with certainty. Not an awful prospect since Cracker Barrel meals tend to be pretty good. * * * That said, if you are really worried about some impending Cracker Barrel Crisis, Order Fried Chicken. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience coming to this Cracker Barrel! I was traveling on my own, but not only were staff members warm and friendly, I found that even the customers here loved this restaurant and we're extremely welcoming to those that look like they were from out of town. I always love being able to get breakfast in the evening, and nobody does breakfast in the evening, better the Cracker Barrel! Such a warm, friendly atmosphere! Because I traveled to this location regularly, I look forward to my next breakfast for dinner at this Cracker Barrel. read more

The food is always good.The service is always friendly and the price is relatively affordable.And I love the little store.

Food has always been good no matter what we ordered, service prompt polite helpful. Dining area clean comfortable

The restaurant wasn't too crowded, but it still took quite a while for the server to come take our drink order. She wasn't very attentive overall. The food was delicious though. The chicken and dumplings gave me the comfort I was craving. Pinto beans were well seasoned, and the fried apples were fresh and cinnamonly delicious. My son loved the seasonal special friend apple cheesecake stuffed toast. read more

Breakfast delivery. Scrambled eggs were okay, not particularly full of taste. Biscuits, two of them were good. Ham was delicious, but nay be a bit salty for some folks. Sausage flavorful and not greasy. Bacon was not crispy and lacked flavor. Gravy tasty. Paid extra for fruit and thought it was $1.00 too high for the serving size. Otherwise, decent price. There are better breakfast choices in town in my opinion, including George's and Olive Branch. read more

I will no longer give crackers barrel my money. Prices are way inflated now and hash brown casserole is now a side order and costs $3.00. Service was slow. Food was ok. read more

First 2 cups of coffee were lukewarm. Eggs and toast were fine. However we were almost 50 minutes waiting for our breakfast orders. The restaurant was not busy at all. We saw people order, eat and leave before we ever got our orders. There were 5 of us. Should not have taken this long. read more

Took forever to get our food was cold and waitress was rude. She came out and made a huge scene and embarrassed me when she was in the wro

Like most, have been going here since I was a kid and the parents or grandparents took you out for a special meal. Now years later, I'm the parent. Will admit, this is the first trip in a bit since all the controversy. Wow, not a good experience. Service was slow to get to the table, later after taking our order she came back to apologize for the time it took to prepare the meal as they had to have a meeting. A meeting? Those biscuits that were always to die for, now i could hammer a nail with. Hard as a brick. Chicken not very flavorful, potatoes were dry and the broccoli was cold, as in couldn't melt the butter. When the server asked how it was, to be polite i said its OK, she responded, with yes, it's my favorite too. She's right in a way, Cracker Barrel used to be my favorite too. Not anymore. read more

Zero stars!!! My husband and I had a horrible experience at this location. We were ignored for at least 20 minutes before we walked out. The manager walked past us and ignored us. Plus, the manager and 3 other employees stood and talked as we waited and watched everyone around us get waited on. It's sad that we had to go to the Cracker Barrel in Hewitt, TX to get service and the service was very good. read more

It's Cracker Barrel, what can I say? Consistent, comfort food, and fun shopping. Service at this one was good, order was accurate, & server was pleasant read more

Food is mid , chicken is dry, fried okra is dry, mash potatoes are dry. Service was good, waitress is nice and sweeet. Ambience is random and clutter is everywhere: how do they dust and clean it all? read more

Our server, Rachel could have been working for Ruth's Chris! I'm talking $200 per meal service. She was always available to refill my delicious Pomegranate-Apple tea (3 x). She promptly brought my wife's deliciously tender home style breaded chicken breast. Her mashed potatoes cooled quickly but her fresh broccoli was perfectly cooked and a beautiful dark green. . My chicken fried beef was so tender, i cut it with my fork. And it was delicious! . As we ordered our meal, we decided we'd have Apple pie all mode. But when we had eaten our fill, we were way too full. You kno read more

We usually love Cracker Barrel but this experience was not great. The one bright spot was that the waitress was friendly (although she seemed new to the job/unsure of things). We had an unusually long wait for our food and one of our 2 meals arrived cold. The food was definitely not up to usual standards. We order 2 sides and were charged for 3 (a duplicate side of green beans were delivered for some reason). We did not ask for anything to be corrected b/c we were on a road trip and couldn't afford any more time. Hopefully this was just a bad night but ??? read more

Cracker Barrel is iconic, but what made the trip the best was Jaime. He was such a good server and just all around good person. He took the time to engage and was so sweet. The world needs more people like Jaime everywhere. read more

i love chicken and dumpling and the syrup for the pancakes........................ it was good

Took a while ti get seated, then another long wait to order... salads! When we finally got our food is was not good, lettuce limp and watered down. read more

After ordering the waitress came back and asked if I wanted to wait over 20 minutes for the fried chicken. The reason I originally it is one of there quick menu items. She brought a menu assuming I would order something different which I did. I ordered the fish which came out cold and not very good. read more

I have gone to Cracker Barrel many times and I must admit I have never been disappointed. I love the food and I definitely love the gift shop area. read more

Ordered through Grubhub. Ordered chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans instead of green beans. I got biscuits and dumplings. Yall suck it cost too much money for you to be fucking up my order. read more

Absolutely amazing experience eating here!! The staff was incredibly friendly, and not to mention extremely helpful when deciding what I should get on the menu, and making sure to check up on us rigorously. We made sure to leave her with a fairly large tip for her helpfulness and kindness towards us. The food was fantastic, I have no complaints whatsoever about the taste, or cooking and I would for sure go back just for the meal itself. I posted a picture of my food after leaving on facebook and had many people tell me it looked delicious (to which I completely agree) The environment itself was that of a classic cracker barrel, meaning it was cozy and homely. Overall a great experience and I would absolutely come back! read more

Best Cracker Barrel we've been to on our road trip. Very nicely kept up. Fun Merchandise. Quick service. Polite and friendly service. Clean bathrooms. We had breakfast with eggs, bacon, hash brown casserole and biscuits. Everything was delicious. We've been to 2 more Cracker Barrel's on our trip, and this one outshined the others. read more

Our Waitress Tessa was amazing & attentive. She has a beautiful smile & sweet soul. Tessa was extremely nice & helpful.

Good home cooked meals great breakfast fairly fast service and great waiters and waitress's

Kathy was super-attentive and the breakfast was delicious! I'm not sure why the other ratings are so low.

Food is average. Servers friendly. Small portions, but good for seniors who don't eat big anymore. Convenient. End up there many times bc I want Grandma's breakfast. read more

Me and my husband went there was extremely disappointed. First off it took forever for a waiter to come over, and the female waitress we had was not only disrespectful but very flirty and only paid attention to my husband order and my husband was very offended. We both ordered chicken fried steak mine was extremely greasy and his wasn't Mac and cheese was disgusting and tasted old and overcooked noodles. Sweet tea was not sweet at all. Best thing out of whole meal was the mashed potatoes and fried okra baked potato didn't have sour cream. And when we got out food to go the waitress ignored me when I said two to go plates and only brought my husband his and I had to say something. So if ur couple watch out for that waitress food is not worth it this location has gone down hill on food and quality and staff. Best thing out of there is there country store where u can merchandise will not be returning to this location ever again. read more

brett was amazing he gives the best service if i could i would give it 10 stars best food everyone was amazing they all give great servic 10/10 would come again make sure to come again read more

Nope. Never again. I tried the chicken and dumplings because my friend recommended it...no flavor at all!!! I don't know if it was just this location or what but UGH NO MAAM. The only thing that was seasoned were the green beans. Ohhhh and I ordered curbside, right? They made me come in to pay‍ read more

I love Cracker Barrel and this location didn't disappoint. Chicken and Dumplings for me!!

Cracker Barrel Waco TX on Saturday, 9/5 a "hot mess". Placed my name on the new improved wait list of text message when table ready but 1 hour later no text. Groups well after my name was in the Que were seated but not my party of 3 plus high chair. Went to Mgr to find out status & what happened...immediately seated in back of restaurant. Well...after another 15 minutes of NO ONE willing to at the very least ask to bring a glass of water....WE left. Good luck to everyone else as to prompt service & maybe seeing their food order next hour. Simply ridiculous & embarrassment to a terrific restaurant in the yesterday year. Not no more. Nothing lasts forever & Cracker Barrel is not the same & more than likely never will. 1 is being nice read more

Had a great experience during an off-hour late lunch that certainly exceeded our expectations on an impromptu road trip pit stop. We had 3 kids and a baby in tow, so we probably were not the easiest or most efficient table to service. Food was hot and tasty, especially the cornbread and biscuits. Our server, Brett, was as patient as can be, and never stopped being as polite and friendly as humanly possible. He even helped us snap some group photos as it was someone's birthday. Cashier was also super nice and friendly. One star off since I had to stand around at the desk for longer than really necessary for me to get seated. read more

I have never been to a Cracker Barrel that didn't have good chicken and dumplings. I also Normally get a double order of turnip greens and an order of hash brown casserole. I drove past many places to get to this one on my way to Fort Worth and was looking forward to my order. What a letdown, the chicken and dumplings were bland. The hash brown casserole was dry and almost had an old taste and the turnip greens were just off. I have had Cracker Barrel in many different locations and never been let down before. I can see one thing maybe being off but not the whole meal. I really hate giving them 2 stars but that is what the meal was. The rest of the experience was as expected. read more

service was not great and I waited and hour and a half for some crappy fried chicken. the waiter forgot to put in our order and didn't bring the right dipping sauce sauces either. water and doctor pepper was not full the entire time we sat there. we had to ask multiple times for some doctor pepper and sweet tea to be refilled. probably wont be back. read more

I want to preface by saying this has nothing to do with the food, but rather the service. My fiancé and I were on a long drive home when we stopped here for dinner before continuing our travels. Our waiter was Brett and oh my god we have never been treated so well at ANY chain restaurant we've been to. It was Michelin star treatment! Brett went completely out of his way the entire time we were there to make sure we had the best possible experience. He was so detailed and kind! My fiancé and I couldn't stop talking about how special it was to have such a star server at a regular ol' restaurant. Thank you, Brett!! read more

I used to enjoy their southern cooking but it surely comes out of a microwave now. So disappointing. It's no time to be sloppy with so called modern methods. COOK FOOD! read more

Food was good. Ordered the biscuit French toast and the Grandma's sampler. The biscuits were fluffy and the blackberry sauce on it was great! Everything tasted great. Update!! Going downhill. Eggs were ice cold, indicators, cheese isn't even beginning to melt.. inside the place was brutally cold. I literally heard 3 groups trying to get near the fireplace. I ate cold food in the cold. Never again... read more

Cracker Barrel..... what has happened??? No hostess. No busboy cleaning the tables. Hard dry biscuits. Bland old and dry corn that seems to ma mix of old and slightly fresher corn. Yuck. Green beans straight out of a can. Catfish that needs to be fried in hotter oil to make it crispy. Waiters with their pants barely held up. In the front of the house, empty shelves. One cashier. No manager in site. What is going on???? read more
