I got the fried chicken and it was not good. Tasted like a premade patty. Did not taste hand breaded. Their food is just okay.

I know not everyone is a fan of Cracker Barrel but if you want some good comfort food, this is worth a try. We came during graduation and it was my BIL and sister's first time at one. We did call ahead seating on the app so didn't wait long for a table. BIL who can be a picky eater order the lemon pepper trout and he was impressed. My sister who has dietary issues was able to find something on the menu. My daughter wanted to save room for dessert so opted for the egg sandwich. The atmosphere is what you would expect at a Cracker Barrel which I would describe as down home. There is also the store which has merchandise that changes seasonally. We enjoy dining at Cracker Barrel on our road trips! read more

Cracker Barrel is my all-time favorite breakfast spot. I love that they keep things simple, classic, and consistently good every time I visit. On this trip, I ordered the strawberry cheesecake pancakes, hash brown casserole, sausage patties, and over-medium eggs, and everything was delicious. The pancakes were fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness, while the hash brown casserole is always one of my favorite sides. The sausage and eggs were cooked just the way I like them, making for a satisfying breakfast. One thing I appreciate about this location is how fast the service is, even when they're busy. The restaurant is always clean, and the staff is friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. If you're looking for a reliable place for a hearty, homestyle breakfast, Cracker Barrel is hard to beat. It's a place I never get tired of visiting. read more

The service was horrible - We ordered 3 child meals and sat for almost an hour before they were served and we had to ASK twice to have the order checked. Waitress Melissa was not friendly or even apologetic. I will never go to this CB again!! read more

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - American Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

The past two times they have left out one of my sides. Finally called the store this time . The person who I talked to said they were the one to check the order (the signatures appear to be the same on both receipts) They said next time we come in to mention we were short the side and we would get it then. After I said we always get delivery and don't go into the restaurant the offer to tell them the next time was again given. That does zero good to someone who orders online and does not go to the restaurant. In addition to this the dumplings were over salted to the point of being unenjoyable read more

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - Super skimpy side of fruit. - American Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

Service was friendly, but sadly the food missed the mark completely. The country fried steak and burger were both overcooked to the point where they tasted microwaved. Not what I expect from Cracker Barrel. Good staff, but the kitchen really needs improvement. I would not recommend this location. read more

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - American Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

The food tastes fake and soggy it might not be soggy but it tastes like it. The service is pretty good except for the fact that it took an hour to get our food on a not very busy day. The setting of the place was nice if you like the worn rustic look. The restaurant also smelled like a ton of food smells mixed together which made my stomach hurt, this is obviously expected but most the time that doesn't happen to me, the food here just smelled unpleasant. Overall I do not like this restaurant, would not recommend, and would not go back without being forced. read more

Love Cracker Barrell. No matter which one you eat in, the food is always the same. Corn muffins, biscuits...just like granny used to make.

This is your typical Cracker Barrel. The facility is large and over filled with things to buy in the lobby. Things are always open and clean. Lots of people on hand to serve you. The menu is predictable and the food quality is consistent from place to place. On this visit...everyone was very friendly and professional. I'm not sure where our waitress was most of the time. However, the rest of the crew was very kind to respond to our requests when we got tired of waiting. Kudos to the team. Not so kudos to our waitress - who was very nice just not present. I was suprised that they now deliver a basket of bread ahead of the entrees. This was nice. The butter and jelly packets were tempting to devour them all before dinner. The biscuits are light, flaky and absolutely delicious! We tried the 2 for $8.99 appetizers. The white cheddar bites are pretty good. The cheese was nice and soft but firm enough to bite. The cheese had a mild taste and light breading. The fried pickle chips were okay. The chip was moderately thin and not much pickle zip taste. The breading was thin and had a resemblance of a corn meal type taste. My maple bacon chicken breast was good. There were two large pieces of chicken to fill you up. The chicken was moist and tender. The maple sauce was light and not too sweet. Little BBQ taste to accent the maple taste. The bacon strips were not crisp but easily cut. read more

I have now ordered food from this restaurant twice. Thinking maybe the first time was a one off. IT WAS NOT!! I'm not sure how to explain how dissatisfied we were with our food. It came smashed in containers, super small portions, hot food was cold and cold pie was melting as well as old strawberries and liquid whipped cream. Disgusting I hate to leave bad reviews but this place has proven that it cannot handle carry out in a good way. I don't know think we will give it another chance. Better to order from a local dinner or restaurant. read more

Elle did an excellent job waiting on us. Comfort food was swift and delicious. Especially enjoyed the beneis dough balls

Classic cracker barrel. Chances are if you have been on any roadtrip on a major highway you have seen the infamous yellow and brown signs for these country stores/kitchens. They are all pretty much the same on the inside with seasonal decor and nostalgic trinkets/candy in their store. This location is very crowded during the breakfast hours on the weekends so be prepared to wait a bit if you are looking to eat during these times. The good thing is, they serve some breakfast items all day. Inside it feels very homey and cozy especially during the colder months when the large fireplace is going. All the food I have gotten here has been good. The white gravy has a bit of a smoky flavor to it which I enjoy but others may not. All entrees typically come with biscuits or cornbread so you do get a lot of food. I recommend the meatloaf, chicken and dumplings and country fried steak for meals. The cooked carrots and fried apples are my favorite sides. The bathrooms here are not the cleanest and sometimes the store section is crammed so full you cannot move very well around. The service can be hit or miss. Generally it has been good but there have been a time or two that it could have been a bit better. One time we were even given the wrong check and almost paid too much. read more

I hate to say people have built up this place so much that I was ready to die in a pool of its famous white gravy. The country fried steak and the gravy was a bit underwhelming. It wasn't bad but it don't blow my socks off as my expectations were sky high thanks to people's raves. Service was good and I adore the gift shop! I certainly appreciate this family friendly spot. read more

Absolutely delicious food, speedy service despite how packed they were, and we had the most polite waitress Braylee. She was so respectful when I informed her she accidentally got part of my order wrong, and she fixed it nearly immediately! read more

Haven't been back to Cracker Barrel in months, I know y. We decided to try again, bad idea. This food and coffee is awful. The breakfast was cold and tasted awful, cold and no flavor. Don't waste your money on poor quality. No refills on water or coffee. read more

This Cracker Barrel did a great job on Thanksgiving. We walked in and walked up expecting a wait. No wait! We couldn't believe it! The parking lot was fairly full so we were in luck. They had a limited menu, but that's to be expected as a scaled down version would be easier for the staff especially on such a high volume day. The turkey dinner was so good. The cornbread dressing, green beans, sweet potato casserole, and last but not least the turkey with gravy - it felt like a home cooked turkey dinner. It included a slice of pumpkin pie with whipped cream as well as cornbread muffins and biscuits - I love the apple butter they have so that was also a plus. But, I will say the main star of today was Elaine our waitress! The sweetest lady! She was so attentive. She didn't just put a small basket of cornbread and biscuits she brought a plateful of warm delicious cornbread and biscuits. The food came out quick and hot and having a great waitress made for a great meal. It started to really pick up once we were close to finishing up. I noticed managers carrying boxes of carry out dinners. They were swamped with orders, but the service didn't waiver and it was just a wonderful experience. Even the employee who was getting ready to bus our table - who was a Veteran as it was on his hat was an older gentleman he even told us a joke. :-) I hope all the employees are able to put their feet up tonight. They deserve it. read more

They do not accept reservations. I came with a group of 8 three of them with wheelchairs and I think they stuck us in the tiniest most inconvenient spot in the place. Other than that our food was delicious. Bathrooms were handicapped accessible. The food was a good deal but if you're going with a party that is large, you can call that doesn't guarantee the reservation.. read more

I tried the new beef campfire dinner for the second time this week. It was excellent! My wife had a great grilled chicken salad too. Breakfast is served all day and another good option. If you haven't tried them recently, give them another chance. They are improving. Sign up for rewards too. I'm about to get $15 off my next meal after just a few visits. With the app, you can do text and usually avoid a wait. read more

Had to wait 45+ minutes, people got their food before us and we got there before them. The food was disgusting, I got a steak, worst steak I've ever had. Absolutely the worst restaurant ever, they were discriminating against the lower class, severs people who dress and look better first. Never coming back. read more

Food was not the issue but watching/hearing female wait staff gossip about male wasn't great and waitstaff carrying around their personal drinks in the food prep area not a great look either. Also very tall female server eating food from a small bowl in the food prep area. Gross! read more

The food is fantastic as Cracker Barrel tends to be. However, my party and I had to wait entirely too long for it. We had joined the waitlist in plenty of time before arriving to the restaurant but still had to wait before being seated. Then after we were seated our waitress was very prompt with the drinks. read more

Their food is really great, their staff is always nice. But to cater from them is awful. Just trying to confirm an order for tomorrow and been on the phone for 45 minutes and they kept picking up the phone from hold just to hangup on me. I called back, maybe it was an accident? Nope. Did it again. I have called at different times also. Thinking maybe this is just a busy time. That also didn't work. I do not recommend catering a large amount of people with a lot of money on the line unless you are close enough to conveniently stop in their store to confirm. read more

Was seated Quickly. Time was 6pm. Food served quickly I ordered. Roast beef. The roast beef was flavorful but I have ordered this dish for years. The quality of the meat and the prep have changed . Where I once was served mashed potatoes and roast beef on a plate. This was mashed potatoes in a bowl with beef and vegetables poured over it. The Gravy was so thin that this could be soup . It was more like a vegetable soup, with large pieces of beef. You could not eat it with a fork which is what you are given. I ate the vegetables and potatoes with the fork. I was asked how I liked my food I showed her there was no gravy it was just broth I ask how she would eat this with a fork? She agreed and offered to get a spoon, or to make something else. I said no thank you. The other guests were done. I left almost all the beef and broth. I told her we never received our cornbread, she offered to get it. As our party was through I said no. The Mac and cheese were very good. One person ordered chicken strips. The strips were very tender and crispy. were very good. When our bill arrived she had taken off my meal, I told her she did not have to do so. She insisted. I wish that when they have something good they keep to the same prep. Because as frequent visitors that is what we are expecting. This was not a glitch this is the 2nd time it has been served soupy. The cost has risen by about 4 dollars for a less than prime quality, that they at one time served. Noted that most of the menu for dinner was chicken. In our town you can go to 30 places that have chicken. I expect better from them. Their breakfast food is still awesome. Service was very good left nice tip. read more

Southern food, seems to cater to older population. This is immediately off the expressway. Took long time to get drinks and about 40-45 minutes to get our food. It wasn't busy and no clue why. Our waitress was not prepared to answer specific food questions regarding gluten. We assumed she was not trained properly as it should be part of any good restaurant protocol to know these basic things. read more

We were seated quickly. The table we were seated at was maybe 3 feet by 3 feet on this table was a lamp salt pepper shakers two games . LeVing very little room to eat. A lady came in after us one single person and they seated her at a table gor hour by herself. They were not crowded or overly busy. How the seating is gone is beyond me . Another couple came in and they all do sat them at a table behind us the man's chair was so close it kept hitting the back of our chair. The next couple told them they were not sitting there as there was not enough room so they were sat elsewhere. There was more than enough seating. We had ordered or we sold have left or ask to move. When our food came we had to stack everything in order to keep our food on the table. My husband ordered biscuits and gravy with gravy on side. The biscuits were not in the order. The waitress went and put two biscuits in a basket when basket was brought back the bottom of the osier was greasy and soaked with something. There were only two biscuits in basket it could not be set on table because it was to full of good. Put biscuits on plate and set basket in floor. When we ordered we ask to use the best deal for what we wanted they did not put anything together but charged us per item. We could have ordered the two biggest breakfasts on the menus with all sorts of meats pancakes etc for far cheaper than we paid. . I had one pancake bacon and hash browns. My husband had biscuits egg and gravy with bacon . 2 cups of coffee. Our bill was 27.09 excluding tip. Higher than anyplace we gave had breakfast at gor same food in Lafsyette. Food was good and tasty. My husband refused to eat the biscuit because of the wet and soggy bottom. Dont ask gor the waitress to show you best deal this was definitely the most expensive way to go. Not happy will use Bob Evans from Now on at least you know the cost of what you are getting Aldo cost was ten dollars cheaper . read more

We attempted to stop at CB on Mother's Day, but since they were not taking reservations, understandably, there was a wait time of over an hour, so we opted to come back the next day, a Monday. What a difference 18 hours can make. Only 6 cars in the parking lot and seating was immediate. I like CB, but wouldn't chose it. My Mother, on the other hand, adores CB, so here we are. I would say the food was decent and definitely plentiful. I had one of the specials; eggs, grits, biscuits and gravy. The first three items were good, but the gravy was "off". I mentioned this to our server, Chad. He said he would check in the kitchen. When he returned to our table, he assured me changes had been made in the kitchen, so my take home order of biscuits and gravy, for my Dad, would NOT be the same gravy. It was the server who turned my experience from potential disaster to "I'm good with this"; from a 2 star review to a 4 star review. Quality customer service is a dying art. Chad saved the day for me. I am willing to return because of Chad. read more

My family & I just left this location. We got to the store at 8:40 & waited about 10 minutes for a table. We walked around & shopped with our two little girls, my mom & a friend of my husbands. We are a military family who was just passing through town on our way to our home. My three year old wanted a pet golden puppy toy & would not sit at the table without it. We purchased it along with a purse for my eleven year old. We got seated & waited 15-20 minutes for a server to take our drink order. We then waitress almost 50 minutes for our meals. While I was taking my toddler to the restroom my mother & older daughter was waiting in the store section for us. They had the toy puppy in its box. My mother was accused repeatedly of not paying for the toy even after letting the cashier know that it was already paid for before we sat down to eat. The cashier continued to argue with my 60 year old mother saying that it wasn't paid for & that the cashier would know since she was the only one at the register that night. My husband had to then confirm that we did in fact pay. It was just a horrible experience & embarrassing. My mother feels as though she was a target of racism. read more
