First time trying Cracker Barrel ever and I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed their market, the variety of the items they had and I enjoyed the food. Overall the idea that there's a store next to where you eat was odd at first but then became entertaining as I noticed the good quality of everything being sold. Everyone was charming. My food was great and the prices were reasonable. I see why people come here for good family time. It's a great place to bond and connect. read more

My wife, daughter, son-in-law, and I were at the Milford, CT Cracker Barrel yesterday and I had the worst steak ever. It was supposedly a 10 ounce NY Sirloin but was mostly Gristle. After hacking through it, the manager asked if I wanted to replace it. Heck no, I did not want to attempt to excise a few more scraps of meat from what should have been ground up as pig slop. I did not realize until checking out that she did remove it from our bill (thank you), but wanted corporate to know what horrid meat they were serving. I attempted to send an image to them via the "contact us" link, but it does not allowed the upload of an iPhone image! They sent a $6 gift card to me this morning, which I did not/do not want... I just want them to see the garbage they were serving. The rest of the menu items are decent, but do NOT bother ordering the 10 oz NY gristle! read more

Stopped in for breakfast. Had asked about the lunch and dinner menu and found out that although it's breakfast all day, the lunch and dinner menu is not. Starts at 1100am. So we all got the Grandma Breakfast. Food was great, loved the fluffy pancakes. read more

Man my first time at cracker barrel and I was impressed! The place is huge and has such a country vibe to it. Alot of cool decor all around. It was also a shop to my surprise. Even though I wasn't sure what to expect. It was really a nice experience. I loved my breakfast. I had an order of pancakes that was absolutely delicious. Buttery and looked exactly like home made pancakes do! Than another plate of hashbrown casserole with sausage, egg, and bacon. And a side of garlic steak tips. I loved it all. I was impressed. For a drink i had a peach sangria that was delicious and refreshing. l look very much forward to coming back here again very soon. The service was great and so was the vibe! read more

Getting here early on a weekend for breakfast is a must. I wanted to try some of their fall specials before they ended - the mixed berry tea was sweet and fruity, much more like a juice than a tea, but it was unique. The butter pecan French toast bake looked a lot less neat than in the picture, but it was like a little pie with a specialty butter pecan syrup. The bacon was crisp, the eggs were cooked perfectly to order, and we were able to switch out a side of grits with the baked apples, so we were able to try a good variety of foods and they were all great. The decor is quaint and standard across all locations, and the gift store is charming as well. Make it a stop on your travels and you won't regret it. read more

Cracker Barrel definitely serve up the southern hospitality. The hostess took our name as we entered and informed us of a 10 minute wait. We strolled around for about 5 minutes, and we were called. The coffee came first nice and hot, then the buttery warm biscuits. Our meal was plentiful and delicious. I highly recommend this location for quality food, excellent service and timeliness. read more

A warm and cozy meal on a cold snowy night! The French toast was the perfect mix of sweet and savory and the biscuits served at the beginning of the meal were the star! The sausage was a bit tough but otherwise tasty. Our waitress was friendly and attentive and cleaned the table she was seating us at when she noticed (before seating us) that it was still dirty. Yay for breakfast for dinner. read more

I came here for my birthday. We had an excellent server. She was very kind & made us feel special as soon as she greeted us! It was a Saturday morning so there was a wait of 20 minutes & the establishment was bustling. I love all the rustic vintage decor they have displayed. I usually always get the grandma's sampler but I decided to try their breakfast burger since we were in between menus at the time. For drinks, we had the strawberry pitcher for 3 of us & it served everybody twice. I felt very special already from the server's kindness and then she surprised me with a warm, thick, chocolate brownie with some vanilla ice cream. Both were delicious & rich! read more

Came to Cracker Barrel at around 11 am on a Sunday. Parking lot was decently crowded, as was the restaurant but when we walked in we were told there was no wait. We were seated immediately and handed both a breakfast and lunch menu. Soon we were helped and we ordered drinks. Things were quite lively so it took a bit of time for our waitress to get to us but we soon were able to order. Food came out quickly as you can expect at a Cracker Barrel! Everything was great. I got fried shrimp, and tried their new onion chips? These were delicious but the standout was the comeback sauce. Also always affordable! Since it as a Sunday morning, things were lively with a lot of post-church goers. And there were a lot of Halloween items in stock in the adjacent store. Always a fun time! read more

There are very few Cracker Barrel's in Connecticut so since we were in the area we had to stop. I've been once before, but this was my mom's very first time. It was a busy Saturday, we had a 20 minutes wait. We had time to check out the general store before we waited which has so many cute things from clothing, soap, gifts, candy, and so much more. During this time, we saw a sign that said if you signed up for Cracker Barrel's rewards program you could get a free shareable appetizer. We were called to the dining room once our table was ready. It was packed, but service was very quick and our server was great. They gave us the lunch menu and breakfast menu since they serve breakfast all day. We ordered Country Fried Pickles for our appetizer and Country Fried Chicken with two sides and sawmill gravy for our lunch. Our meal arrived very fast. For my sides, I got mac and cheese and fried okra. My mom got fried okra and dumplings. I grew up on Country Fried Chicken and it hit the spot. The sawmill gravy was so good and they gave us a huge bowl to share. The pieces of chicken were huge which we both took half of our meals home. Overall, despite being busy, we had a great lunch at Cracker Barrel. Don't let the crowds scare you, they flip tables fast! We also realized our lunch was very cheap after our bill came. We did get the appetizer for free since we signed up for the rewards, but our entrees were well worth the price with how much food we got. We spent a little over $30... A steal for a full-service restaurant. read more

Great staff and great food! You really can't go wrong with Cracker Barrel. And I found some nice merch on clearance.

There was nothing wrong with the food. It was typical Cracker Barrel quality. However where we were seated, there was so much dirt and dust that I was not comfortable eating there. I don't see how to attach photos, otherwise I would. They need to periodically schedule an overnight where they do some really thorough cleaning. read more

I normally only come here for breakfast. Today I came for lunch and was generally dissatisfied with the food. The service was lackluster. The servers didn't seem too happy to be at work. The ambiance was fine. It wasn't too crowded. Our soda was flat. They had run out of some dipping sauce. The house salad, tenders and fries were just ok. I think I'll stick to breakfast only items next time. read more

We had lunch at this Cracker Barrel location in Milford CT and it was a great experience. We've dined here before but I don't think I've ever completed a review so here we go. The ambiance was bustling with a lot of people dining on the weekend but I thought we were called to sit pretty quickly. We walked in although it was crowded we sat within 10 mins. Waitress bought we our drinks and took our order. The staff were friendly, prompt and attentive. I'm not sure about these take our 1 star reviews but for the most part our experience here has always been great. My wife had the steak and for me, the Barrel burger. The Mac and cheese was outstanding- wow !! Both were cooked to perfection and the service was quick. We highly recommend !! read more

It was my first time to this location. But like all other Cracker Barrels, it did not disappoint. The homestyle food is always on point. Our server was attentive and friendly. The portions were generous, We got the fried chicken, the chicken and dumplings and numerous sides. We all went home with leftovers. Great home style cooking. read more

The place is a classic country style type food, I personally enjoy eating at this place but this is the first time I get takeout. The place was beyond busy because I had the brilliant idea of going there on Father's Day, the wait time was endless and so we decided to opt for to go food thinking it would be faster..... WRONG! ... took such a long time, I'm pretty sure we would have been next, if we would have stayed a little longer. Anyway, waiting isn't terrible when you have a store full of fun trinkets, nostalgic toys and classic sweets.. which of course we partook. The food was placed in this really cool giant box, so big it looked like I was carrying a pet or something there lol ... They gave us one of the drinks we ordered so I had to swim back inside through the sea of people to get the drink they forgot, no big deal, the staff was super helpful and friendly . My food was ok, I had asked for country fried chicken, which is what I usually get.. with extra gravy and of course I didn't get it, and that's the downfall of taking things to go because I can't just ask for it if it's missing, and honestly that gravy is heavenly so not having much of it, was a huge disappointment. The chicken was a little dry and the mashed potatoes were even more dry, the Mac and cheese was a bit flavorless and a bit runny too. I know it was a busy busy day, Sunday AND Father's Day, deff double wham but I was hoping to at least enjoy a yummy meal at home and unfortunately, that's not what I got, I will still go in person but won't be taking food to go anymore so if you can sit and have a meal there, go for it and if you can't, don't order to go and just come back another time lol. read more

My last review was 6yrs ago & it still hits the spot lol. I love Cracker Barrel. The food always tastes the same & it's good. 8)

I'd consider no stars if that was possible. Back here again on Sunday evening. I decided to try a new menu item called the breakfast burger since it sounded good. I was asked how I wanted it cooked and asked for medium. I got my order after waiting for at least 15 minutes and the burger was burnt to a crisp, I mean actually charred. I would have sent it back but the service was so poor that I couldn't even find my waiter, and they were not terribly busy. He literally was there to take the order and much later to give me the check. Worst food paired with the worst service. I'd say this place has taken a serious downturn. read more

Stopped in to wait out a rain storm. We were seated quickly and got our (alcoholic!) drinks quickly as well. Server was friendly and accommodating by letting me sub a few things. My loaded sweet potato was HUGE and awesome but missing the candied pecans. Decor is like every Cracker Barrel, ye olde farm house vibes. Would definitely visit this location again. read more

I always enjoy stopping at a Cracker Barrel whenever I go on a trip so that's just what I did today on my day trip to CT! Honestly, this wasn't one of the better experiences. It was extremely crowded and the service was all over the place. Our waitress was very nice though. There was an extended menu which I didn't even realize! What I usually order wasn't on the menu we were given, but the item was still available on their website. I went with the signature fried apple french toast bake. It was doughy and delicious and the apples made the dish so much more amazing. I substituted the meat for eggs which was cooked to perfection. read more

The service was absolutely fantastic; Shaniqua was the most amazing server. I had the chicken and dumplings, my girlfriend had the meatloaf. It was absolutely everything we hoped for, it was served quickly, and was piping hot. Truly the best Cracker Barrel we have been to, highly recommend if you are in the area. read more

When did it get this expensive? $4 coffee, $16 farm raised trout with two sides, prompting for additional tip at the register?

Really in the mood for Cracker Barrel's amazing pancakes, and hash brown casserole. Just my luck, I was able to order from an easily accessible location. For those that may not know of Cracker Barrel's history. Please allow me to share one of the best places to get a bite to eat when your near one of their many locations. In 1969, a Tennessee man named Dan Evins saw an unmet need. The Interstate was expanding--connecting people to new places--but people on the move couldn't count on a consistent, quality place to stop along the way. To stretch their legs, refuel, and find a good meal at a fair price. Evins had a vision to build an old country store to meet their needs--a place that preserved the ingredients of country life to share with travelers on the road and families from nearby. Homemade food makes a huge difference! Homemade" may not be an ingredient, but it's something you can taste. The biscuits are hand roll and they make their mashed potatoes and gravy from scratch all day long in each, and every one of their restaurants. It's why the slow roast our beef for 18 hours, dip and bread our Sunday Homestyle Chicken® by hand, and stay true to their long standing, heritage of authentic country style cooking after all these years. Highly suggest giving Cracker Barrell a try, the pancakes are the best, and my favorite! read more

Today there was a piece of plastic in my barrel bites or in its ranch dip. After dipping it in the ranch I put it in my mouth and couldn't chew a piece that happened to be a plastic of some kind, similar to a packaging pouch; I brought it to the manager's attention and she seemed to pretend to care. I didn't enjoy my meal. The French toast was hard but not the crispy kind of hard, more like a stale hard. My cinnamon roll latte looked prettier in the photo. And my server didn't check up on us during the meal, I had to wait for a glass of water until I was done eating. My experience just keeps getting worse and worse. read more

I love Cracker Barrels! This one was pretty standard. A little off the highway though but not much. Plenty of parking, even though it was busy. If you haven't been to a CB, the store is half the fun. They have all types of toys, candies, souvenirs, and more. If there's a wait, which for bigger parties there usually is, you can wander the store. There wasn't a wait for a party of 2 and our waitress was awesome. Food was ok this time. I've had fresher but it was good. The menu is similar to a diners and they have their own signature dishes. I always love the breakfast here. Still a cheap meal too. read more

As always a delicious meal . The meatloaf was so good, just like homemade. The carrots were sweet and the mashed potatoes were very good. The corn had nice spices and it was tasty. The best is the biscuits, I ate three. One with butter, another with jelly and the last was with the gravy that came with my meal. I was able to go on their app and put my name in, plus I was able to pay for my meal with my smartphone. read more

Our server, Isabel, was very helpful and friendly. The vibe was Cracker Barrel, busy yet organized and efficient. I seriously think of the spicy grilled catfish whenever I think of Cracker Barrel ~ yummy That and the the cheesy hash browns (always great) or the bird's nest breakfast (that they no longer offer). It's always a pleasure to see a Cracker Barrel sign in our travels. read more

Steak is better now. Get the 10oz new york strip. Too bad you have to order all sides individually. They used to be included.

Hooray again for Cracker Barrel supporting RVers. I stopped in late and did not have dinner but breakfast was awesome. Perfectly basted eggs with bacon and no, I skipped the biscuits and muffins. A second cup coffee and a bit of time on the wifi before hitting the road and heading south. The restaurant is clean and my server was friendly even this early in the morning. The peg game on the table had all the pegs but I could never manage to get beyond leaving two on the board! [Review 18674 overall - 90 in Connecticut - 2196 of 2022.] read more

My mother and I intentionally stopped at the Milford, CT location on our way back from a vacay. We had a delicious breakfast "brunch". We both ordered Grandma's breakfast with Pancakes, Country Ham, and Hashbrowns. We both thoroughly enjoyed our time here and hit the shop after, finding some great articles of clothing! The service was excellent. Julia W., our server, was friendly and attentive. Shante, the manager, was wonderful--walking around checking on customer experience. Even Megan at the register made a great impression when ringing up my purchases. We've always had a positive experience at various locations, but this, by far, has been the best! We will be back! read more

Yes I would recommend and approve this eatery. I don't understand why it's only one Cracker Barrel Old Country in CT? Especially the food and prices etc. is so good. I have been to other states and they have a few places. The service is always very good from the front portion to the servers. Nice ambiance and bathroom. Love the catfish the grits, green beans and collards etc. and especially good when the cook is good. Hope to hear some good news on added locations in CT. read more
