It's Cracker Barrel. Pretty simple formula. Cute old-timey store. Comfort food. Relaxed environment. This would be among my last choice options for food in LaGrange. I went on Monday and they had a Pork chop special. It was sooo not special. It was the driest piece of meat I had ever been served in a restaurant. I ate a bite and just couldn't eat any more. I asked if the pork chops were usually like this and the server said she hadn't eaten them. I was offered a re-make and I reluctantly agreed (I hate sending food back). The replacements had a little more life to them but were still very dry and had zero seasoning. I drowned them in sauce and choked them down. Aside from that, my salad was fresh and the cheesy hash browns were ok. Orders were wrong. Glasses set empty for a while. My mom asked for vinegar 4 times before she got it. My dad liked his food and the kids got some candy. read more

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - These are the driest pork chops I have ever seen. :-( - American Near Me - Lagrange, Kentucky

we aerived at 730 pm . we were seated and greeted in a fairly pleasant manir the host was great! our waiter was Connor who was awesome all the way till the end. we ordered our food which consisted of The Side plate choice of 4 sides . we chose 2 dumplings .greens .and pinto beans. the food arrived in a normal ammoint of time. whwn it arrived they had messed uo by givin us two of everything.... no biggie we told the waiter and she said sont worry just keep it ... ok great when she went to set the beans down SHE the waitress said oh no theres no beans in the liquidans there wasnt. she took them to get them replaced ... in the meantime, we stared to nibble on out other sides ... the dumolings were luke warm at best .... and the greens were cold as if theyd been sitting in a cool area. ...The beans arrived back and they were again barely warm .... we then shiwed her the other food and told ber we didnt want anything sles for the fact i assume it woulda been cold as well . anyway aorely sorely disappointed at the lack of attention jn the kitchen your fiod is who you guys are and honestly its not the first time our meal has been bad at this location... i dint think we will be back . which is so infortunate cause we love the food ... when done right read more

Extremely slow service, server could not remember to bring us things we asked for, which were not unreasonable. For example she spilled a water when she brought us drinks and it took a very long time to get it replaced along with a black coffee. We waited SO LONG for our food and no surprise, it came out cold. This is by far the worst Cracker Barrel I've ever been to. We were a table of 4 and had easy orders. We were there almost two hours between the 15 min wait and the time we walked out.. insane. Will never go back to this one. I'd pick a different place to eat unless you have a couple hours to spare. read more

Great service, food came out and was perfect, social distancing perfect, waitress was on it

Worst cracker barrel i have ever been to. Waited over an hour for food. Management just standing around one walked past us several times and didnt say a word! Server he was super sweet and young. Seemed new to serving read more

Get Merlene for your server, and you're set for a good experience! She was so thoughtful. Pancakes were up to par for Cracker Barrel which is the best. $9.00 Mama's breakfast was perfectly cooked. $7.50 for a kid's pancakes and drink was good too! read more

Easily, the worst managed Cracker Barrel in existence. Inconsistent service, slow food and ignorant training of staff. Not the employees fault but clearly a management issue since methods and cooking are prescribed Nationwide! Want breakfast? Go to Noosh Nosh or Wild Eggs toward Louisville. Want lunch or dinner? Go to Our Best Restaurant in Smithfield. Want to be disturbed? Go here! read more

The waitress threw my friend out a window and touched my no no area and they ate the food b fore it got to hs

This location is absolute garbage. The service is terrible and the food is equally tragic. Most of the menu was unavailable and what was available was prepared with absolute disregard to the consumer. I can't believe I was served this disgusting meal. I will never return to this location. read more

What's to say...it was a Cracker Barrell. We were in and out quickly and it was cheap. I wish my husband wasn't addicted to this cr@p. That is all. read more

This is our local Cracker Barrel, we have given this place at least three try's to improve , but almost everytime my food is not very warm , like it has been sitting on the bar for awhile . This last time we were seated and not even given silverware. The server was not very attentive, couldn't get a refill of water , seemed like she was not really wanting to be there. At least fake it for the customer! Our food took over an hour to come out, the good wasn't too bad , but it never seem to be hot off the grill at this location. The server never said sorry for your wait or much of anything. read more

Very disappointed, I grew up in La Grange, was passing back through going home, stopped to grab a bite to eat. Every dish and utensil we had at our table was dirty, thought at first it was a few spots from their dishwasher but inspecting further there was greasy grim all over everything, you could feel it on the glasses and plates, we left shortly after receiving our meals, the only pleasant thing about going there was that our waitress was very nice, still tipped her for the meal, not her fault the dishes were dirty. Hey cracker barrel management, maybe your dishwasher needs tending to, wish I would have thought to take a few pictures. read more

After a one hour wait with less than half of the tables occupied, we got someone else's order. When we did get our order, it was wrong, items were missing, and it was so cold the butter on the pancakes would not melt. Our waiter told us several times they were short staffed. I spoke to the manager who said he was very new. He said he would comp our food and I told him we weren't eating it anyway. I will never eat here again. I wish I could give zero stars. read more

First, I would like to say that my rating of this restaurant has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with our waitress. She went above and beyond for me today, which I will explain, and I made sure she was well rewarded for that. We really had a difficult time trying to find a restaurant that was open on Thanksgiving. We finally gave up and went to Cracker Barrel. There are usually a few items I can have at Cracker Barrel, so we figured it was a safe bet. First thing we noticed is it was very, very crowded! We were told our wait would be 35 minutes and we both shrugged and walked around the country store. I don't think we waited more than five minutes which was good. When we sat down they gave us menus. Not only do I have to eat gluten-free and I cannot have pork, but I also am losing my eyesight, so I asked for a braille menu. Of course they didn't have braille menus of the current menu being used today. Again, not the fault of our waitress. She was just doing her job and she did it very well. Nearly everything, and I do mean everything, had gluten in it. I finally picked out roast beef, no mention of gravy whatsoever, potatoes and carrots. Turns out they cook the roast beef and gravy. The waitress was quick on her feet and asked me if I could have grilled chicken breasts. Of course, I was happy to accept that as my meal and they brought me extra carrots along with my potatoes for the trouble. My son got a breakfast. He got sausage patties and one of them appeared not to be cooked completely. He went ahead and ate it, but it was a little bit concerned about doing so. He said the eggs were good, as were the pancakes, but the eggs were not nearly as good as the ones we raise on our farm even though they are advertised as "farm fresh." I went to pay the bill for us and was surprised at exactly how much it cost us to eat that relatively ordinary meal. I made sure I tacked on a very good tip for the waitress because she really was amazing. If it had not been for The waitress and the delicious food, we would not have rated this Cracker Barrel as high as we did. And to not be prepared for people with vision impairments who have special diets is really not a good thing. I suspect there was something with gluten in something I ate, as my stomach has been having horrible cramps all evening. Apparently they don't have any way to separate the food in their restaurant so that people who cannot have gluten won't be exposed to it. This is extremely disappointing, especially once you get the bill. So, the food was excellent, it tasted very good, but the price was high. The restaurant was extremely crowded, which we kind of expected for a holiday, even though we personally don't celebrate holidays. We were seated much faster than we planned on. Overall it was a decent meal and we were happy with it except for the price vs quality. read more

Every time I go to this Cracker Barrel I say its going to be the last time but like a dummy we tried again after a few months thinking they may have gotten their act together. Nope even worse than ever. Four kids on the hostess stand telling people no kitchen help. Um why are you guys not back there helping instead of four people telling people you can't seat them? Corporate really needs to step in and straighten out Lagrange Cracker Barrel or just close it down, this store gives the company a bad reputation. We called ahead and when got there were up on the list while they were telling people 45 minutes yet after watching people from several tables leave the dining area complaining they still did not seat anyone for the hour we waited. We finally left. I see short staff issues all kinds of places but why is this particular store always so awful? read more

O stars. Understaffed, took 15 minutes for dozens of people standing at the hostess stand for someone to finally tell us it would be an hour wait. To add to the confusion there was some smartass customer standing behind the hostess stand "pretending" to take names thinking he was funny. read more

Amazing service, very nice waiter, very good food, food was out in 20 minutes, ambiance was old country style which is to be expected for Cracker Barrel, clean restaurant also. read more

Pretty good, good waiter with a nice butt lol, mom had the old timers, I had the fruit and yogurt and new butterscotch latte, and my daughter had the pancakes. Good meal on our way home from Nashville read more

Bailey was the best server! Great experience. She was so nice, the food was amazing, 10/10!

Cracker Barrel. Cracker Barrel. What to say about you? I'm not a big fan of this place, but it seems like everyone I date wants to go here. With that being said, I find myself here every now & then. When we're coming back from Cincinnati or somewhere else in the northeast & the hunger is increasing as we get closer to home, we always stop here. All of them are the same. People like to say great home cooking... Pfft! If I want cooking like this, then I'm going to make a trip to my parent's house. Leaps & bounds over anything a restaurant can throw at me. I normally order breakfast here. Typical toast. Edible eggs. Burnt bacon(when will places learn that extra crispy bacon isn't the best bacon)?! Puffy pancakes. Sweet syrup. It's better than any other fast food alternative that you'll find in the area. It is fun to go here & look around the store sometimes. It's an easy way to holiday/birthday shop for your family. With all of the nostalgic candy everywhere, you'll definitely feel like a kid no matter how old you are. Any other Cracker Barrel in the area would receive 2 stars from me. This one receives 3 because I think this one is the best. Additional notes: Friendly staff Inexpensive prices Outside porch sitting Plenty of parking read more

Stopped in for a quick bite after 3pm this afternoon. Five at the table ordered salad. 10 minutes later our waitress informed us they were out of lettuce. One substiituted kale salad. 10 minutes later, she was informed, no kale today. 40 minutes later our meals arrived. Grilled catfish was good but the fried catfish looked like last weeks fish. Dried up and freezing cold. :-( Two in our group had 5 minutes to eat before needing to leave for the airport. The new piece of fried catfish finally made it to the table but half of our party was gone. This was not the down home, good feelin, comforting lunch experience we expected from Cracker Barrel. Very disappointed. read more

I didn't know I would like Cracker Barrel so much! In fact, I avoided this restaurant for so many years because I convinced myself that there is no way I would like this place. Maybe I had a bad experiences with other locations before ... who knows. But I am a changed woman now. I can't get enough of this place! The services were always good and the fireplace in the winter was a plus. And I can't believe I am saying this: their biscuits are the best!!! I can eat here 3 meals a day. read more

Their food is excellent never been disappointed there, but the last time I went there the bathroom was nasty. This is so unlike this restaurant. Usually everything is pristine. I thought restaurants had to be extra clean right now. read more

Avoid this restaurant! We just stopped there on our trip from Louisville to Pennsylvania and it was terrible. I usually love Cracker Barrel on road trips because it is consistent, but this restaurant was anything but that. My oatmeal was hard and served with only a few pieces of dried fruit and apples. At my local CB, it comes with apples on top and dried fruit, pecans, brown sugar and milk on the side. I had to ask for milk at this place. I still couldn't eat it though...it tasted like it was a couple of days old! It didn't get taken off of our bill though. My husband's gravy tasted undercooked (it tasted too much like flour). All in all, this was the worst Cracker Barrel we've ever been to. read more

This is a really nice and relaxing little restaurant. A lot of people come here for thanksgiving because of the meager little things they do for the holidays. I like to come eat late dinners there when the sun goes down because they light all the little lanterns on the tables and they keep the fireplace going. Especially in the Fall. They normally have a lot of new employees working there so if You want excellent service with Zero mess-ups then please ask to for your server to be someone who is no a new employee so that you won't have to worry about them getting your order wrong. read more

Cracker Barrel is always a favorite for breakfast especially in the fall and winter on lazy weekend mornings. Service is good, the food is awesome and the store is always a gem! read more

Always good breakfast, southern fried chicken dinner is good. Service is good. Prices are reasonable, what else do you want!

Worst service ever! First we waited five minutes for someone to stop by our table for him to tell us someone had taken his pen so he couldn't take our order. I asked if he could get our drinks. He took the drink order. Five minutes later a different server brought our drinks and said the other guy was too busy and he took our order. During our 45 minute wait for our food, I finally got up and went to the kitchen and asked for biscuits because we never received any. Finally got the biscuits no jelly and no plates. Our server brought plates a few minutes later and the bottom plate was dirty. Food was brought, had to ask ANOTHER server for napkins and ketchup. Waited 15 minutes for our check. They were not that busy, steady but not slammed. Got up to the cashier, was telling her how terrible it was so she called the manager. The only thing he did was say he would talk to the server. REALLY . I didn't expect for my meal to be comped but a 10% discount would have been appreciated. (And yes we still tipped the server) read more

I was so disappointed with the visit here. The floor was really dirty, service was really slow and lacking. Servers didn't know what they were doing and the food just wasn't good. Not the Cracker Barrel standards I am used to. read more

Avoid this Cracker Barrel! Usually Cracker Barrel is a place we can count on for consistency and good food. Not this one. They don't even know how to cook an egg over medium. My husband and went for breakfast and ordered two eggs over medium and "thick sliced" bacon. Got thin bacon and two eggs that were barely over easy. Sent the eggs back. 2nd round took a while and came back as runny as this first ones. This time they were also cold! Waitress was nice but definitely didn't get 25.00 worth of anything. read more

We went there twice because it was close to our hotel. I urge you to go somewhere else. The first time we went we had such a bad waitress that we had to ask for a new one. She was quite lazy and did not want to give us silverware or our water. She slammed the waters down in front of me and told me to pass them to everybody. Our second waitress was awesome that's the only reason this place gets three stars. We ended up getting two meals free, and all her desserts for free. The reason for this is they ran out of our meal but didn't tell us until all the other meals were ready. So we had to wait an extra 15 minutes after everyone have their food. The food was quite good. But upon returning two nights later for dinner. Most of us got the exact same food, But it was very subpar. Mine was overcooked and dry. My husband's fish that was phenomenal tonight earlier was just not very tasty. He said it was mediocre. My mother who really liked her chicken BLT the first time we were there really did not like it the second time. The second waitress was OK. We figure that Cracker Barrel must not train their waitresses very good though. She never cleaned off our table unless we ask her to take a plate. She just kept piling new plates on. And yes they forgot or silverware the second night as well. read more

I could not give Cracker Barrel less than 5 stars. I LOVE THIS PLACE! I have been a fan of the chain for so many years and I have never been disappointed! I love their breakfasts (even for dinner), the ambiance, the service, the variety and their store. I feel like I travel in time everytime I go into one of these restaurants. I highly recommend that everyone visit this place at least once and trust me you will end up coming back! read more

Just what you would expect from any other Cracker Barrel except that my waitress forgot that I ordered french toast instead of pancakes.

It was packed today at lunch but I was still seated quickly. I tried the new trout dish (southern style under 600 calories) it was fast and the broccoli was fresh. I'd still say the lemon pepper trout is my favorite though. I like that they have a variety of lower calorie menu items. The waitress and all staff were polite and attentive. And as always the prices are reasonable. read more

I work at a nearby retail establishment and we like to order takeout every week for dinner. The last time we ordered the food was completely wrong on 3 of 5 orders and we were overcharged. The manager was great and gave us 3 meals for free to make up for this. Kudos for him trying to make it right, but this time our coworker had to wait 45 minutes for our order, 2 of the 5 orders were incorrect, obviously everything was bone cold, and we were overcharged, again. Feel sorry for the manager, but this location is a disaster. read more

Not the cracker barrel im used to. Cold fried chicken not too good. Very small serving glad I don't live near this one.

Absolutely horrible service and food! Sat for over an hour with waitress missing in action! Manager less than interested in customer service!!!! Watched our food set in the pick up for more than 20 minutes and had to find the manager to get it "slung" on the table for us. Never will stop or eat there again!!! read more
