A Wonderful Birthday Dinner at Cracker Barrel! We went to Cracker Barrel on Tuesday evening to celebrate my father‑in‑law's birthday, and it ended up being such a nice night. Our waitress, Annabelle, was wonderful ... super friendly, on top of everything, and just really made us feel taken care of. It's amazing how much a great server can elevate the whole experience. The food was exactly what we were hoping for: hot, comforting, and delicious. The whole place had that cozy, homey vibe Cracker Barrel does so well, which made it a perfect spot for a family celebration. Overall, we had a great time and left feeling happy and full. Definitely a memorable visit. read more

I ordered via a meal delivery service while traveling on business. I was craving some cooked greens and saw they had them on the menu along with fish (grilled). So I ordered. The grilled catfish and pinto beans were delicious and the corn muffins were good too (not Jiffy Mix corn muffins either). The greens appeared good but they just didn't hit my tummy and palate like I was hoping. I'd eat here again but won't get the greens. The salad was good too and so was the fruit. read more

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - Still a favorite of grandsons - American Near Me - Olathe, Kansas

On our way into Kansas City, we made our annual Thanksgiving order through the app for the Olathe location and the hubby and I picked up our dinner before heading to the lighting of country club plaza. We both ended up getting country vegetable plates, because the preset Thanksgiving dinner did not have the option to swap out the potatoes. So my plate consisted of cornbread stuffing, green beans, mashed potatoes with turkey gravy, and fried apples and rolls. My husband got the vegetable plate with hashbrown casserole, fried apples, Mac n cheese, cornbread stuffing. It made for a nice Thanksgiving dinner picnic, while we waited for the lights to come on. Now if cracker barrel would allow a potato swap out of the Thanksgiving plate, it would be great. Not everyone is a sweet potato fan. read more

My parents, family, and I stopped here since it was close to our hotel for dinner. We were seated immediately, and our server was very accommodating. We received our drinks and placed our order in a matter of minutes. We received our sides fairly quickly, but we did have to wait a few extra minutes for the main entrées. Everything tasted great, overall but our server seems to be fairly busy so she wasn't as attentive as we liked. She was still very friendly and took care of us. I love their early dinner (light menu) that's discounted. $12 for grilled steak bites with two sides is a great price these days. read more

What a waste of our evening! Restaurant wasn't very busy, but it took our waiter over thirty minutes just to serve us our drinks. Then after another hour we finally get our food, and it was cold! We ordered an additional burger to take home to our son. Even though we ordered the burger when we ordered our meal, we still had to wait for them to make it. After waiting fifteen more minutes we decided to just leave and grab something elsewhere. The only reason why they are getting two stars instead of one, is because they did comp one of our uneaten dinners, which we ended up just leaving on the table. read more

Cracker Barrel has been around since 1968. It is usually a restaurant one eats at when traveling, since they are located near highway exits, as I have in the past. This is not a place I would normally go out of my way to patronize, but on this occasion it was breakfast on my birthday and I thought, why not pick a place that has been around since I was a Freshman in High School. Walking into this location was like walking into an old familiar place as all Cracker Barrels are built and decorated the same. Unlike some restaurant chains that change designs over the years, Cracker Barrel decided to stay with the themed design that makes one feel at home. The food while not outstanding, it is good and the servers are friendly and efficient. This location is close, but I will probably not return soon except to buy one of the items I noted in the store before eating, as there is another of my favorite places for breakfast between my home and here. read more

I've been a very long-time customer of this Cracker Barrel. Often frequented as much as weekly. The food has always been good and consistent, nice-sized portions, quick service at a fair price. I know that all restaurants can have a bad day, which is why I give all restaurants three strikes before I write a bad review and then take them off my GOTO list. As of yesterday, this Cracker Barrel has just hit three strikes. The carrots are no longer sweet and soft, but instead hard and chewy. Other foods are not consistent either. Portions have been easily scaled down 25 percent or more. Prices have increased substantially Service - I have noticed the younger the waitress, the slower the service. Especially if the manager is not right there. The hostess (person who decides where you sit) will place customers all over the dining area, often not in the same area as the waitress serving you. Consequently, if you are out of sight of your waitress and her normal area, your service will be very slow. Instead of once a week, I will return to Cracker Barrel next year to see if anything has changed. Sorry Cracker Barrel - you caused this. Get your act together! read more

I ordered the fish, hash brown casserole and beans. Very filling and cooked just right

I got the new seasonal Cajun catfish and it was excellent! The mashed potatoes and apples were good too! Next time I'm going to try the shrimp! read more

My husband and I went to the Cracker Barrel hoping to get a nice Thanksgiving dinner. We got there at approximately 10:40 and still weren't seated at 12:10. The "store" part of the restaurant (which had people who were waiting to be seated) was packed to the gills and there was a long line waiting to get in. People couldn't even move inside the store. My husband asked several times how much longer until we would be seated and kept getting the same answer: about 20 minutes or so. Finally, we decided to leave and went to the Perkins closest to Cracker Barrel. We were seated and waited on right away and served a delicious Thanksgiving meal. Stay away from this Cracker Barrel!!! read more

My server is super cool and very helpful and knowledgeable too, having shrimp and grits, really good, have been here before and this is the first time I had napkins, she is well trained as a server, goes out of the way to make sure it's right, benefits for coming here is atmosphere, just started beer and wine drinks, all these years what I miss read more

Ordered delivery and I can't blame the delivery driver for the way the food was packed. The soup tipped over and the juice spilled everywhere in the sack. This happened once before when I ordered carryout, which leaves me to wonder why they don't always pkg liquids and soups separately. The food itself was fine, nothing to rave about read more

Just had breakfast here. I had scrambled eggs with cheese (extra 1.49) and bacon, hash brown casserole and biscuits and gravy. Nothing was hot, just barely warm. Has brown casserole had a very strong onion flavor, very strange. The bacon was just okay and the biscuits were small and not very flavorful. The gravy was actually the consistency of wall paper paste and had no flavor. There was no sausage used in the gravy prep. Eggs were passable. The only reason I gave this place 1 star was because I ordered a coke and it was really good. I cannot believe this franchise has lasted as long as it has. read more

This place is always wonderful Service is always fantastic. The atmosphere can get a little crowded and loud around their peak times but if you get here early enough, it's very calm and collected. The food is phenomenal. My husband and I both got chicken, it was very moist and tender here. It's one of our favorite places to come. read more

Never go on a holiday or even for pickup! They don't answer phones & your food is never hot. People are outside in their cars waiting for hours. No concessions given for disabled, even offer of a chair. My sister & I will only go early or late on any other day. It's back to HyVee for holidays. read more

The food was great and the service was good. I really like Cracker Barrel and the overall atmosphere here.

Please help me understand why it smells like PISS as soon as you hit the doors at this location! The first time, shame on you, the second time shame on me, and no three strikes and you're out. Both times I asked for an employee to let a manager know about the godawful smell from their restrooms that permeated the entire front store area. I have the nose of a bloodhound and I smell everything. Cleanliness is not an option for me, it's the only way. However, I do allow room for improvement and twice now there's been no change. P.S. - Our waitress Josefina however, was so AMAZING! She deserves 5 stars and better working conditions. Denise the hostess was also AMAZING and deserves better working conditions, especially with being right there in the thick of the PISSY smell. read more

How I have lived in the Midwest for over 25 years, and never experienced a Cracker Barrel until now, I'll never know how this happened. Half shop of fun goodies, half restaurant.. the walls are lined with all sorts of fun art and decor. I was occupied just looking around. I had the Good Morning Breakfast with a side of their hash brown casserole. Everything was great! The hash brown casserole tasted just like what we have at Thanksgiving where you add a can of creamed mushroom soup, turkey sausage was nice and crispy, and grits came slightly buttered only. Service was lovely, fast, and our waitress made sure to check on us often. No wait, either. It was 930a on a Sunday. read more

So we came here because we missed breakfast at the hotel. The wait wasn't too bad. We were seated at a table for 4 but we had 5 people they just put a chair on the end our table. Our waitress Samira was so nice that once the table next to us left she offered us to push our tables together to make more room. She was so nice with awesome customer service. It wasn't loud or too crowded inside just a good vibe. We are from California so the customer service here in Kansas is superb compared to our state. Samira made sure we had everything we needed, checked on us in a timely manner, and before you know it we were done eating and we left her a nice tip for the great customer service we received. Thank you Samira!!! read more

My family love coming here as there is something for everybody and they serve breakfast all day. For the past couple years the food has been very consistent and cooked well. The service here is always great and accommodating. But I will say some servers will go beyond the call of duty and it's rare that we don't get that type of service here. When the place is packed it can get pretty noisy since the restaurant area is basically one giant room with privacy walls separating further to three smaller rooms. Overall my family loves this place and have been coming here for years and will continue to come. I would recommend this place for breakfast lunch and dinner! read more

We went on Sunday for lunch after church. They had painted and cleaned up the dining area, it looked cleaner and fresher. We the. Had lunch and took a bit to get the food, the server was excellent and food was good. They changed the biscuits and cornbread recipes, they tasted better and were warm, you have to ask for them now. I usually get what they call the oven baked chicken and now the name has changed and how it's prepared. The chicken and green beans had great flavor, the chicken was a little smaller than before. I had the mashed potatoes, the portion was small for what dinner cost and a little dry, maybe had been sitting awhile. I would suggest eating here and looks like they are trying to have a variety now. read more

The food here was amazing the service was awesome and I would really recommend going here for the food but the restrooms were less desirable the floors were sticky and wet they had toilet paper on and in the toilet seat and the sinks barely worked other than that it was great. read more

Ordered pot roast and expected to get a wonderful piece of extremely tender roast with minimal amount of seasoning and sauce. What I received was big chunks of meat that were completely obliterated with a dark brown tar consistency sauce. The picture on the front of the restaurant still shows what I initially described. They were unable to tell me what was in the sauce, which was a problem because I have many allergies. I ended up eating a bowl of green beans and a bowl of corn for my dinner. I have a relied on being able to eat the food at Cracker Barrel, but I shall not be returning. read more

I rarely see these restaurants, so when I saw it, I knew I had to visit. I stopped in, got waited on immediately, the server told me they had bloody Mary's, and I jumped on it. I ordered breakfast for dinner, and the food was great. Of course, while here, I had to get some okra. It was fantastic. Overall, I wish there were more of these around where I live. My server was fantastic, and I'll be back when I come back for work. read more

We were told 15 minute wait when we arrived, that turned into 35 minutes. The front was a mess, with people who were not the parties being seated instead of the actual party being called. Our table wasn't clean when we were seated, then the table and chair were cleaned with the same rag, which was not really appealing since we didn't know what the wet substance was on the chair. We weren't given silverware, so I had to go get my own. Our waitress tried to give us food for a different table, so we had to help her figure out who it belonged to. When our food came, the eggs were cold and lacked seasoning, the biscuits were tasteless, and the bacon was undercooked. The little warm syrup bottles are nice, being able to pay online now is nice, and the store has a lot of cool things, but the restaurant was kind of dirty (the decor could,use some deep cleaning), and the food was mediocre. We'll probably go somewhere else for breakfast next time. read more

This is by far my favorite breakfast place. Ever. Hands. Down. The biscuits and gravy are to die for. But my number one favorite is the grandma's sampler. Two eggs - a sample of bacon sausage and ham and a side of hashbrown casserole with two buttermilk pancakes. Look - here I am writing this review about to go crawl to the car and go get some now just thinking about it. The pancakes -- you have to try the blackberry jam to put on it - it's on the side menu for you to pick out with whipped cream. Anyways. Place is just your typical Cracker barrel - service is kind of hit and miss at this location but food is allllways on point! read more

My party of four arrived to Cracker Barrel recently for a lunch. We decided to order four alcoholic drinks (mimosas), to start our meal. When the drinks were brought out, four bottles of sparkling champagne accompanied them, already opened and supposed to be filled about a quarter full. We poured them into all our juice glasses when we noticed one was empty. We notified our server and said she would take care of it. Quite a bit after, we began getting impatient, and flagged our waitress. Soon after the manager came and said she would "look into what happened in the kitchen" she came back saying that one of the bottles was filled more full and we should've had the correct amount of champagne. But all of the glasses of mimosas were filled to the same level (aside from the missing one), and when I asked her why there were four bottles, she replied that it was just for presentation purposes. She didn't fix my problem and I still paid for four mimosas even though I only received three. Needless to say, I feel like I've been cheated. It's unfortunate because I actually enjoy this place. But I don't see myself coming back because of how this situation was handled. Would not recommend. read more

This is a great spot for homestyle comfort foods at a reasonable price. I like the good selection, the daily specials, and the complimentary biscuits and cornbread. My maple bacon grilled chicken lunch ($8.99) was served in 15 minutes, and tasted great, with two juicy white breasts, and generous portions of the two sides I selected (cole slaw, and mac 'n cheese). Everything was flavorful, including the fresh biscuits with their tasty apple butter, and the service was efficient and professional. Very nice! read more

Food was good. I got the meatloaf and orka. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meal.

One of my favorites. So many options. Kids love it. The crackling fire and the old times stuff to look at on the walls makes you feel like your at grandmas house. There was a little bit of a wait to get seated but you can look around the store while you're waiting. Love that you can get breakfast all day. The grilled chicken is the best. read more

Great for family get togethers. Service was good. Price was good and food was delicious.

20 minute wait turned into 35. Once seated order was taken in reasonable time but took 30 minutes to make it to table. We ordered breakfast and eggs and pancakes came out cold. Overall 1hour and 20 minute beginning to end. An experience that is not acceptable for established restaurant. I will not go back read more

Sunrise Breakfast is a Big breakfast so you better have a big appetite! The food is great and the biscuits and cornbread are awesome. Ask for Jaime to be your waitress as she was the best server I've experienced in the last 20 years ! She really has it going on as she is accurate, fast, courteous and accommodating. What more could you ask for good food and good people. The gift shop is always a treat and fun to shop and Belinda is so helpful and friendly! If your from California this is your stop for a memorable Kansas visit. I must say Cracker Barrel Is in a league of its own. I forgot to add that I left my work brief case in the womens rest room. I realized it five hours later. Manager Dale retrieved it and even protected me by asking me to verify that it was mine. What a job of above and beyond the call of duty! Great team, Great food and peace of mind read more

Can you really right a bad review about Cracker Barrel? THE ANSWER IS NO. I mean sure...the food doesn't always hit it out of the park. And maybe the service isn't always top tier, but beggars can't be choosers and every experience I've had at Cracker Barrel has brought a smile to my face. This particular location holds a special place in my heart because it is where a group of my closest friends and I had our friendsgiving dinner this year. Each and every one of us was smiling from ear to ear upon arrival and continued do so throughout the dinner. They almost ran out of meatloaf for my friend and the chicken and dumplings didn't really land with my friends, but I enjoyed my meal of catfish and sides. The green bean casserole was a little cold...BUT THAT GIFT SHOP THOUGH! We spent a good 15 minutes looking at all of the goodies and had a grand old time. Definitely go here for an amazing family experience and true comfort food. read more

We had a rare occurrence when our To-Go order wasn't up to par. We did not ask for a refund, just wanted to let them know the four meals should not have left the kitchen, and they may want to check it out. The next day we noticed an unexpected credit on our card, thank you to Ryan, we will be returning. read more

This is the first time I've been to a Cracker Barrel, and I thought it was quite charming. The store part of the restaurant was like a mad-house. The Sunday lunch crowd was pretty big. There were hoards of people perusing the merchandise waiting to be called for their table. I liken it to wandering aimlessly through the drugstore waiting for a prescription to be filled. If you're not careful, you'll end up buying crap you don't need or really want. We were seated and I quickly jumped to the fried chicken dinner. For sides, I had the mashed potatoes and boiled cabbage (for a change and to make myself think I was eating something healthy to balance the meal). Overall, I thought the chicken was pretty good--better than what I can find in Southern California anyway. The one thing I wasn't too crazy about was having to take the bill to the register in the store to pay. It wasn't so much the task in and of itself--it was having to wait in line behind people buying T-shirts and bubble gum and then having the clerk try to sell you stuff ("do you need any candy or other souvenirs today before I ring you up?"). I understand stores being creative to reap in a few more dollars, but this feels too contrived. read more
