I'm thankful that Cracker Barrel undid their changes. We went for breakfast and everybody had something different. Our server brought a complementary basket of beignets since one member of our group was visiting for the first time - and they were great. From their new bowls to familiar biscuits and gravy, everything was great. The whole place has that down home, comfortable, familiar feel. I hope they never change. read more

A traditional American breakfast with good service. They have changed through the years but still give a good breakfast not as good as years ago, but that seems to be an American way nowadays! read more

Who was the idiot that suggested that new is better? You are taking away what makes Cracker Barrel special. The old time looking store and items found there. Dining looking at the antique items throughout the walls and now the signage! Just sell the stock now;the idiots in charge are ruining what makes your restaurant special and definitely different. All you needed to do;is some creative advertising. I never hear ads or notice ads promoting yourselves. Don't ruin your uniqueness! Attracting new generations focus on your food and advertise your uniqueness read more

The food was good, the prices are very good as well, the service was good as well as the ambiance. I had the cat fish which is just the southern part of me. I did see their fried chicken looked very good. I love the little store that they have inside. I also had a co worker named Brian who wanted me to order a muffin with butter. Not sure what that means. The place looked very clean and nice. I love forward to coming back and trying something new. read more

The food was good, I always get the country fried steak. It's been better in the past but was still good! Nick J was my waiter. Very accommodating and super sweet. The service 12/10. Of course I will be back read more

We had another excellent lunch at Cracker Barrel today and our server Felicia was fantastic! I'm not normally a big fan of the giant chains but this particular Cracker Barrel hit all the marks! Friendly greeting when we walked in, immediate seating and quick friendly service. The fish fry is crazy good! Four stars cuz of the luke warm fries and not so good coffee! read more

Giving our waitress the one star. Food was horrible and small portions. I ordered turkey dinner which states sweet potatoe pie with it. got the worst stuffing. It wasn't cooked. It was like dust on my plate. The dinner says sweet potato casserole and one side. Waitress stated you get two sides. I got dry stuffing and green beans which were thrown into my apples. Menu Should state you get two sides and don't put sweet potatoe comes with the turkey. This is my 5th visit and it just gets worse. Husband got Chewy roast beef. Come on you guys can do better. We probably won't come back. See picture of stuffing read more

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - Dry dusty stuffing. Not sure if it was even cooked - American Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

Idk if the server was new, but wow she was super forgetful sadly. We repeatedly had to ask for condiments, silverware, and drink refills. I asked for the eggs Benedict with ham, and it came out with bacon. It took a while for it to be corrected. I then also realized they didn't put hollandaise sauce. By this time I had already waited so long my food became cold. I usually have a great experience here, but idk what was going on. read more

Consistency is big for me when I eat out and this place delivers! The food is always good and the stuff are friendly.

Cracker Barrel is usually right next to the Interstate, so it was interesting to find this one that is a mile east. I got here at around 8pm as the restaurant was getting ready to close. Still, a friendly greeting even if all I did was pass through the store to use the restroom. Cracker Barrel tolerates overnight parking in their lot and while there's no charge, there's a hope that yes, you will eat in the restaurant. In the morning, I woke up and was one of the first guests when they opened. Great breakfast! Eggs, bacon, hash brown casserole and a biscuit. I love that they offer "basted" eggs which don't have all the butter and fat and other stuff from frying. Tasty! CB now has wifi and that was awesome to catch up on emails before starting my drive onwards to meet up with friends in the Orlando area!

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, 1175 Palm Bay Rd, Melbourne, FL 32905 2- Stars (Chain Restaurant Review) While they've been around since 1969, Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, known colloquially as Cracker Barrel exploded about 25 years or so ago and began popping up all over the country. Whether you were in Sop Choppy, FL, or French Lick, IN you always got a consistent 4-star meal. Everything on the menu seemed delicious, and you couldn't go wrong. Apparently, things have either changed chain wide or just the one I visited on Palm Bay Rd as I did not have that experience. My waitstaff was Melissa. Melissa is a 4-star apron all the way. I kid, she was sluggish and somewhat inattentive, reminiscent of a Xenopus stuck in the mud. At first, I thought it was due to the early hour on the clock, but Melissa may be ready to throw in the towel. Even Tom Brady knew when to hang up the cleats (albeit a year late). I ordered the Build Your Own Home Style Breakfast with Hamburger Steak (redundant?), hash brown casserole, grits, biscuits and a slice of grilled sourdough. I eased my bulk back into my chair, snapped a few pictures and waited for Melissa to return with my grub. While everything looked as it should, downright delicious, that's about where the old Cracker Barrel stopped. The saving grace here and the reason for the 2 stars is the hamburger steak and grits saved the day, but not by much. The slice of sourdough, requested grilled, was obviously toasted and burnt at that. The hash brown casserole tasted like last night's leftovers haphazardly thrown together and microwaved. I also assume the same can be said for the biscuits as Matthew Tkachuck could use them for practice (go Panthers!). The Big Boy says, "WT heck happened here? 10 plus times of sliding quality and miserable waitstaff. Skip it until things return to normal." read more

Stopped for lunch on a Thursday! Love Cracker Barrel for consistent food that's hearty and satisfying. Chicken and dumplin's is such a classic here. Weekday lunch is $6.99 and comes with one side and bread of choice. The dish is a perfect portion for lunch. Nice tender chunks of chicken and the dumplin pieces are the perfect texture. I got a side of fried apples, which is the best side at Cracker Barrel in my opinion. It's like apple pie filling, warm and sweet and comforting. Cornbread muffins are excellent. The outside is crispy and it comes with butter and honey. My dad got the country fried steak, which he really enjoyed. It was topped with white gravy. He had turnip greens and green beans and finished all of it! He also got an orange mimosa which he enjoyed. Our waitress was very pleasant and food came out fast. Great lunch option if traveling along I-95! read more

Never thought I would be raving about eggs Benedict from here, but omg! The new menu item is fantastic. They put seasonings in the hollandaise sauce that really made it yummy! Service was fast as usual and so nice. It is a little noisy, but we expected that. Rock on for stepping up your breakfast game! read more

If you ever come here, do yourself a favor: whip out that kids' menu and order the mini chocolate chip pancakes. These little legends are cooked to chocolaty perfection, with the perfect ratio of powdered sugar, chocolate, and fluffy pancake goodness. The bacon? Juicy, crispy, and absolutely magnificent. You'd be a fool not to savor every magnificent nibble. Don't let the "kids menu" label fool you, these mini pancakes are surprisingly filling. If you're not having Cracker Barrel's kids' mini pancakes, you're not doing life right. read more

You can never go wrong with Cracker Barrel, and this location is always top notch. The service is always friendly as well as very helpful attendants in the store side. I have also purchased (and been gifted) many delightful home goods. Seasonal items are always fun to pick up after the holiday at a deep discount, but the inventory is limited so I would not recommend to sleep on anything you couldn't live without. My go to is usually Uncle Hershel's Favorite for breakfast and Chicken and Dumplings for lunch. I recently couldn't decide when I went for an early lunch and ended up asking for a sampler. I could not believe the items were all full size portions! You better believe I took some to-go. Never a bad experience! read more

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - Sampler platter. Items are full size! - American Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

My wife and I decided to try a familiar place for breakfast and selected this restaurant. We were promptly seated and greeted by our server. Our drinks were promptly served and our order was taken. My wife selected the Granmas player with French toast and I opted for the grandpa platter with steak tips. Our plates were served shortly thereafter and my wife's French toast with sourdough was scrumptious and decadent. My breakfast was delicious as well and my biscuits and sausage gravy on the side was the icing on the cake. They had the seasonal watermelon lemonade which was so good and my wife had their hot coffee. Refills were promptly topped off and our server was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this place read more

This place is going down hill fast! This Cracker Barrel needs to be closed down. It's gone from bad to horrible! Service is awful. Food is cold when it is delivered to the table. Restrooms are gross! Dining room needs to clean the floors, they are disgusting! Definitely NOT like any other Cracker Barrel! read more

I live closer to this location, but rarely eat here. Food has always been ok, but today's meal was so bad. Ordered; two scrambled eggs, two blueberry pancakes & side of hash brown casserole. Meal came out, after 40 min wait, as one egg (fried), two burned pancakes & hash brown casserole. The pancakes were tough, couldn't cut with my fork. What little I cut off with knife, was crispy! Flipping both over, they were charred on the bottom. I had that burned taste in my mouth & could not get rid of it. Staff offered to cook two more but I turned them down. Told server how disappointed I was in food. Was only then charged for my side of hash browns. Then, after paying, I visited restroom. It was so disgusting! Look as if it hadn't been cleaned in years. Trash all over, floor was filthy & sticky. Even stall door has something gross stuck all over it on inside. Pieces of sink was missing. Who would want to work there! I usually shop a little after my meal, but could not wait to get out of there! Will not, ever, return to this location. read more

What can I say? I'm a southern girl that sometimes needs her southern fixin's! Cracker Barrel has always been that spot for that. I am not one for chains but this one always hits just right! The coffee is nothing special, and yet, I crave it. Their biscuits are flaky and buttery with yummy jams. The fried chicken is always crunchy and flavorful with silky buttermilk gravy. The steaks are almost always OVER cooked so we order rare to get medium rare (a tip for those who haven't learned from their mistakes like we have) The sides are vast! From dumplin's to collards to Mac n cheese to fries and butter beans. All ooey and gooey that need just a tad more salt. The service is what you would expect. Not great but never bad. You order. You wait. You get your food. Done! Cracker Barrel is simple and laid back. A place for families to with with their grandchildren that will grow up and visit when they have their own family. This place just reminds me of home and mommas cooking when I was growing up. Always ALWAYS get to coke cake. You're welcome ;) read more

Ordered take out for breakfast. Food came out quickly! Staff was super friendly and conversational. Store was tidy and bathrooms clean.

Waited at the table for 1/2 an hour for any kind of service never was greeted and didn't even know who our waitress was. Looked like there were two people holding the whole place together. Pathetic. Do better. read more

Sat us immediately. They were very pleasant and I highly recommend it. Wonderful food a lot to eat we couldn't finish everything .

Another typical Cracker Barrel nothing extravagant but food was good and my grilled chicken breast with mashed potatoes and bacon had killer flavor. Service was a little slow but hey it worked read more

You know what you are gonna get when you visit a cracker barrel. For me as you can tell by the photos we got a lot. So we came here on Thanksgiving for a feast. Original plan was to order online and takeaway. Got there and as we were with our dog the waitress offered for us to sit down outside. Glad she suggested it. Was an enjoyable experience on a nice Florida day. Service was amazing throughout and did not flinch at our large order. We had countey fried turkey , turkey and stuffing, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans and the list goes on lol! To top it off we had pecan pie and pumpkin pie. Oh and almost forgot that they serve wine and beer now. The house cab completed the experience. Needless to say we left more than satisfied and ready for an afternoon nap as you should on turkey day. read more

This is our go to restaurant for home cooked meals. Fried chicken, turkey, & meatloaf are always on point. Not to mention chicken pot pies. Don't forget to order their half tea/half lemonade drinks with the option of takeout refills. It's the feeling of eating at someone's house with antique decors. Wait til you see their fully stocked sweets & chocolates. read more

Not impressed. The scrambled eggs were rubbery, the gravy for the biscuits and gravy was bland (and tasted like wet flour), and my side of fruit was moldy/mushy. read more

I never cared for Cracker Barrels food in the past but have gone twice in the last month and was pleasantly surprised both times.First time was the Sunday pot roast true comfort food tender juicy and just plain delicious.Second time was the Bourbon Hickory Chicken breasts phenomenal flavor and a generous portion. They now have beer, wine and Mimosas on the new revamped menu. Try it! You" ll like it! read more

For Highway chain food, this particular Cracker Barrel location rocks the house. It's clean, the service was excellent, and the buttermilk biscuits were the best that I've ever had at one of these joints. When you're on the road, and on a schedule where you can't venture off the highway too far in search of culinary adventures, you need a go-to. Since CB started putting calories on the menu, it has become my go-to dine-and-dash. Grilled chicken tenders, or the trout, where offered, beat a butt-bomb burger with two days of calories sitting with me like an anvil in my stomach, on the way down the highway. read more

This visit was so much better than the last one at another location. The sawmill gravy was delicious this time and the sides were reasonably sized. Lele Z was my server and was pleasant and polite which is oftentimes why I'm a repeat customer. She was quick and made sure the corn muffins weren't cold. She checked on me periodically but not so much she was a pest. They were a little on the slow side and the dining room was very quiet. I would recommend this place for any family. Thanks for the good, filling meal at a reasonable price. read more

Food was good. Price was good.. We asked for a particular server but she was off.. The server we got was mediocre at best.. Not friendly and we sat a long while waiting to order.. Which was not awful as I had family members passing thru and we met to visit for an hour before they continued on.. But the table behind us was seated after us and she took their order before coming for ours.. read more

We came in around 10:30 on a Sunday. It was busy. It took 45 minutes for us to get our food because the kitchen lost our order apparently. When we received our order we were missing: 2 hash brown casseroles. 1 spiced apples 1 ham. 2 pieces of bacon Grits. Sugar free syrup (which we asked for when ordering) Enough silverware for the table Extra napkins. We asked the waitress for what we remembered which was suegra free syrup, and a hash brown casserole. I had to go in my phone to figure out what else our party of 5 was missing. 15 minutes later we had everything but the grits. They never brought that out. We asked twice for more napkins and sugar free syrup When we received the bill, we were charged for Colby cheese, different drinks and who else knows. I had an empty water cup within 15 minutes arriving. It was never filled. I asked twice. The pancakes were fried in oil or on a pan that hadn't been cleaned in who knows how long. The sausage tasted utterly disgusting and one person ordered scrambled eggs that had a texture we can't even describe. We didn't even fight the bill. We've been here multiple times, and it's a similar experience every time. We won't be back after today. We'd rather spend $75.00 elsewhere even if we have to wait on a list longer. I gave it two stars because they have cute kids clothes. read more

Cracker Barrel is one of my favorite places for comfort food and for breakfast food all day long. I had my usual chicken and dumplings which is what l needed today to hit the spot. My side dishes were corn and turnip greens. My food was nice and hot, service was fast and a fresh batch of biscuits. I have been collecting Black Angels for about 30 years and l was right on time today. I wanted a new Black Angel and they sold the last one this morning. But they were able to find one for me in Viera Florida which is about 2 exits away. She will be in my possession on Wednesday. I was able to find a Black Ballerina tree topper that was absolutely beautiful. So, today l had on my happy face and full belly as l floated out of Cracker Barrel. read more

Food and service is great. The only challenge is that most every Cracker Barrel we've been to is a bit noisy.

Family and I have come to this location for 9 years. I have never had any issues, always a wonderful service and food. BUT I can no longer eat at this location. I have food allergies and when I stated this in the past I was always able to substitute. But I was informed that Corp says they can no longer do this and create the plate without the items but still get charged the same amount. Very disappointed that they don't take into consideration when a customer has food allergies. read more
