I'll start by saying this Cracker Barrel is average. The positive side is the storefront offers a wide selection of items and presents very well for their merchandising. As to the restaurant they were out of stock of multiple staple items, for instance they were out of hamburger meat. The fried okra was Bland and the meatloaf was dry but flavorful. The mashed potatoes were good however a little under temperature. Lastly the cornbread and biscuits were good, but it would be nice if the butter was not cold as that makes it hard to spread. Service was slow and overall the decor was what you would expect of a cracker barrel. read more

Visited yesterday it was terrible starting with hostess with a terrible attitude just wanted to run her mouth. Finally got seated in the half empty dining room after waiting about 10 minutes. Service was poor. Definitely not enough staff to keep the restaurant open. Food looked terrible ordered turkey and dressing got the left over scraps from the turkey and the dressing was grey almost black. Didn't send it back after waiting 45 minutes I do not recommend this location read more

Just walked in moments ago. Do they have any workers? We couldn't find any. Waited 5 minutes at the front reception. The worker in the store area was uninterested in helping us, so we figured we would head elsewhere. So disappointed. read more

Table was not clean, eggs on the floor, didn't clean until we got our food. There was a dog at the next table and I could smell it! Food was not hot and some of it was overcooked. Never, ever going back. I'm done! read more

Welcoming staff. Good service. IMO Cracker Barrel 9X out of 10 you're gonna get a great breakfast. This meal was perfectly cooked. I ordered 7 eggs medium well. They were all perfectly cooked. My hash browns were great and tasty. My steak tips were tender and tasty. My wife ordered the strawberry cheesecake French toast. She ate half I finished it with the apples on top it was absolutely amazing. I love Cracker Barrel more times than not. Breakfast all day. Always plenty of parking pulling a trailer. read more

I've dined at Craker Barrel restaurants across the country for years as we travel in our RV. Easily over one hundred times over the last forty years, maybe more. Always with an eye open for the familier sign along the highways and biways, i no longer require a menu to order from, but my meal on 07/14/2025 at store #CB0274 in Pearl, MS was possibly the worst dining experience I've ever had anywhere, at any eatery....and that says a lot. Seated at table 343, our server, Lauren R, took our order and hurried off. While waiting for our meal she returned to refill my coffee and spilled it over the table while eiither not noticing or not caring, and didn't apologize or cleanup the spill...she just walked away. I had to request napkins from another server to mop it up. The wait for food was almost 20 minutes, but she brought out my biscuits and gravy without any silverware, and though I asked for it, she didn't bring any to out table for 10 minutes. By the time our food arrived the gravy was cold, just a hard lump of flour and milk in a bowl. I asked for more, but it never arrived. It gets worse. I almost always order the Southern Fried chicken..4 pieces of heaven, but she brought me another order consisting of two pieces of breaded chicken breast. Dry white meat. I informed her of the mistake and she told me they were out of the Southern Fried Chicken...which surprised me greatly. She went back into the kitchen and because it had taken so over long to be served, I started eating. Then Lauren returned and said the cooks were now making it, and if I wanted what I had originally ordered she would put the order in, but it would be 15 minutes or more. By now we had been inside the restaurant almost an hour, waiting to be seated, and then waiting for our meal. On the road, with miles to go, I declined and asked for the check. Our meals cost $31.87 which i would have normally happily paid, but this time I grudgingly paid it, but told the lady at check out about our experience and that I would not include a tip, as the service was horrible. It will be a long time before I enter another Cracker Barrel. This experience has left a bad taste in my mouth... read more

This is the worst food i have ever eaten at Cracker Barrel. The chicken was overcooked and very dry. The grits had a hard top like they had been sitting out all day and the same goes for the dumplings. Hard and dry. The only thing that was good were the hot biscuits read more

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - Chicken, grits , and dumplings - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pearl, Mississippi

I am in town for the weekend and decided to dine in for a quick breakfast since there isn't a Cracker Barrel near me. It was THE WORSE dining experience I've ever had. After waiting 25 minutes to be seated, I waited another 10 minutes before being asked if someone was helping me. It went down heel from there. I asked for a hot chocolate with whipped cream and some water and placed my order. I got my hot chocolate, but with no utensils on the table. The waitress returned 10 minutes later to tell me that they didn't have what I ordered, so I changed it and asked for a spoon for my hot chocolate. 10 minutes later, she returned without a spoon and told me that they were out of grits. By then my hot chocolate was cold and the whipped cream had melted (still no utensils). She returned to tell me that they were out of grits, so I ordered wheat toast to go with my now scrambled eggs and sausage (still no utensils). She FINALLY came with my food 15 minutes later, but with white bread toast. When I was able to get her attention again, I asked her if they had wheat toast, she apologized for bringing the wrong toast and offered to bring the correct toast or some grits since they had some more. I declined because then my food would be cold waiting. She brought the grits right out but still no utensils. By the time I got utensils, my eggs were cold and I sent my COLD untouched hot chocolate back. I ate and asked for the check. She brought the check and was kind enough to tell me that she didn't charge me for the white bread toast that I didn't order nor eat! I asked her to remove the hot chocolate charge since I didn't drink that either. She was sweet but the most essential skill in costumer service is communication AND active LISTENING. Throwing in a few "sweeties", "honeys", and "darlings" is not enough.....especially coming from someone much younger than me. DO BETTER Cracker Barrel. read more

(*Don't dine here, you'll regret it*) Dining at this Cracker Barrel Old Country Store has got to be one of my worst dining experiences ever. My husband and I visited this restaurant this past Friday evening. We arrived around 7:45 pm and it was busy. I walked up to the front and gave my name to the friendly employee. He told me it would be a 15- 20 minute wait and that I would receive a text when it was ready. Sure enough, I got the text about 11 minutes later. After looking over the menu, we ended up ordering: Fish Fry Friday Meal, $13.99 prior to tax- I ordered the steak fries and broccoli for choice of sides. The broccoli was overly cooked where it was too soft and overpowered by some kind of lemon sauce that made it unpleasant. The fish itself was fine. Skillet Sirloin Steak Sampler, $15.79 prior to tax- My husband picked the fried chicken tenders and the hash brown casserole & fried apples for the sides. The hash brown casserole was not good and was not even warm when it was brought to the table. The fried apples tasted apple filling. My husband had his steak cooked medium rare. It wasn't that good but that is to be expected at a place like this. Take Home Meal Grilled Chicken, $5 prior to tax- This is supposed to served chilled so that you can reheat it at home. This meal is also supposed to come with mashed potatoes. Our server brought us a fried chicken meal instead and it was hot. This was consumed the next day and it was just average. The mashed potatoes were disgusting. They tasted like they were made with water instead of milk and butter. They had a weird off taste to them and so we threw them away. Take Home Meal Meatloaf, $5 prior to tax- This is supposed to served chilled so that you can reheat it at home. This meal also comes with mac & cheese. This slice of meatloaf was actually pretty thick and a great amount for the price, a good deal. The meatloaf itself tasted okay. I liked the mac & cheese, although I don't know why there was bread in it. --------------------------------- (Total= $43.76 after tax, prior to tip.... which I do regret giving tip) Our server (whom I do not know his name) took our order on the tablet. He apologized for taking so long and then walked away when he was done. However he walked back to us to ask my husband about the entrée he ordered and then we waited a long time for our food, which took over 40 minutes (yes that's not a typo, I have photos on my phone that an verify the time). I had to ask our server for condiments and our biscuits, as none of these things were brought out to us with our meal. The server never apologized for the long wait time for our meal and did not check up on us during the time we waited for our food. With our meals, our server gave us our bill. Our server never came back to our table so I had to ask another server if he could get our server regarding the bill because I was charged for loaded fries that I did not order, nor did I receive. I also did not see a charge for the take home meals that I had ordered with the server. He took off the bill and brought us a new bill that had our take home meals on it, although was not correct. But after being at the restaurant for over an hour, my husband did not want to have the server fix it and delay our wait even longer. Our server told my husband that it would be okay and that our food would be ready any minute. However, we waited another 15 minutes for it to be brought out. According to the menu, the meal is supposed to be brought out cold with sides. These meals were brought out hot and without sides. My husband asked the server where were the sides? He then asked us what sides did we want. My husband said he just wanted the sides that comes with the meals. We waited another 5 minutes for the sides (which again were served hot). Our dining experience took over 90 minutes, which is inexcusable. There was no need for us to wait over 40 minutes for our food. It was frustrating that our server had made very little effort to fix the problem and never acknowledged his mistakes and errors. Based on the many Yelp remembers before me, it takes an incredibly long time for an order to come out and the quality of the food is subpar. I wished I had read the reviews before coming here to avoid such a lousy dinner. read more

Went for fish and chips. They have them but the breading was overwhelming and crunchy and not very hot. The tarter sauce was loaded with sugar and you could actually pour it like salad dressing. Not thick and no horseradish. The coleslaw was good as well as the mashed potatoes. The coffee was Luke warm. The music was way too loud and it was freezing in there which when you are freezing and trying to eat is not pleasant. The bathroom was not kept. Paper towels overflowing the can and on to the floor. The wait person was sweet and helpful may be great for breakfast but not Friday fish n chips read more

TERRIBLE! The service was beyond awful. We can hear around 10 and waited 20 minutes to get our drinks. We ordered and our waitress didn't come back for 30 minutes we had to flag her down to get refills of of water. After another 10 minutes we finally got our food. We had waited 40 minutes! They gave my brother the wrong food and we had to give it back before he had an allergic reaction. We ordered blueberries pancakes and to no surprise we didn't get what we ordered. When we got our food we weren't given silverware. My momma had to go up to the manager and ask for some and they gave us plastic ones. It wouldn't cut the food and my brother had to use his hands. Not the normal Cracker Barrel experience I'm used to and would not recommend! WOULD GO AGIAN AND WOULDNT RECOMMEND!!!!! read more

We swore off eating at Cracker Barrels when we travel after several bad experiences in Slidell, LA, Mobile, AL, and Durham, NC. However, it's been a couple of years and we're in Jackson (Pearl), MS. Certainly they would be better, right? Not so fast, cupcake! First, an order that we were told would take only 30 minutes ended up taking over 90! When we got the order, which was a Thursday Turkey special, the turkey was tough and the promised cranberry sauce was missing. On a positive not, the green beans were delicious...cold, but delicious. The other was pot roast since for some unexplained reason "roast Beef" is no longer available.(?) Allegedly, the lengthy delay of receiving the order was that they were struggling with the pot roast. Seriously? How big was that fight? In any event, since that was the last thing prepared, you would have thought it's be at least war... uh, no. It was cold. Finally, when did you change the recipe for your corn bread? it used to be wonderfully savory. Now it is sweet corn cake and not the "Mom's" cornbread that has always been advertised. sweet corn cake is not the same as savory corn bread. Really sad to see the overall quality of all these Cracker Barrels crumble into dust. read more

20 minutes to even be waited on, the waitress was not in a good mood and the food came out cold.

We waited to be seated 10 minutes and there was hardly anyone eating. It was probably 1 in 8 tables being used. Apparently they were short staffed and couldn't allow people to seat themselves. When we finally talked to a hostess after about 10 minutes standing outside the restaurant, I asked if we could just sit at a table and wait. She said no. I asked how long we would have to wait before we could be seated. She said 10-15 more minutes. I'm sorry they were short-staffed, but it looks as if they had as many employees there as there were customers. This has happened at this location before. It's a shame that most people who experience this will choose to not go back. I mean what incentive is there to eat there if this is a normal routine or if there is no attempt to rectify the situation. Needless to say, we left without eating there again. read more

Cracker barrel were genius when they came up with the concept of shopping while you wait to be seated. The food is always delicious and I love all of the antique items scattered around. The service can be disappointing, but everything else makes up for it. read more

Long time Saturday morning dine in & Wednesday night take out favorite - the kids have called this the biscuit store since they learned to talk. I feel like this place has been a staple as the kids grow up. They get behind with their popularity and the number of waitstaff, but they always try hard - so either go early before the crowd or go knowing a little patience is worth the wait. I also take advantage of their virtual waitlist during peak times like Saturday mornings. I love all the changes they have made to make take home meals an easy thing for families. Plus the buy one now take one home for $5 is great for lunch the next day. Today the kids split a grandpas country fried platter with chicken fried chicken & I had a country boy platter with steak tips. Most everything was delish as always. I wasn't a fan of the change from sirloin steak to steak tips. They were a bit rubbery in texture. The hashbrown casserole was best ever though, I think they took out the onions. The biscuits and gravy are straight up one of our fav comfort foods. Arrived at 8:15a starving and left at 9:30a full & happy. read more

Didn't have stuff (white gravy), got drink orders wrong, food came out after about 20 min barely warm. Got biscuits at the end of our meal and never got requested cornbread. It had been a while since I had been to this location and once again had the same experience as the last, so won't make this mistake again. read more

The store part of this place is great but after waiting an hour when you're told 15 minutes, things get repetitive. We were eventually sat and we immediately places our order because we knew what we wanted. we got an appetizer and biscuits. When one orders appetizers, you'd think it would come out before your meal.. not here. We sat for 30 minutes. No appetizers, no biscuits, no server in site. She was too busy trading phone numbers with another table. When our fried pickles finally got there, with the rest of our food, they were hard, all batter, and cold. Asked for biscuits again, never saw them. Ate half the meal with no drink because she wasn't around to ask. Will not be returning here, if it were possible to give a negative tip we would have. If we want CB again, we'll drive to hattiesburg. read more

2 stars is enough for the store front. Waitress could careless she had any tables. Left her tips all over the table. Never welcomed us, demanded our drinks. Took almost 15 Mins to get our drinks, never got our biscuits or cornbread we ordered. My order was completely wrong. Handed my plate without letting anyone know they were hot. Food was not like is usually is. Only tip I have is that I know the food industry isn't easy to work in. But remember no one forced u to work here. At least care about something. And a smile goes a long way!!!! They do not know that concept!!! read more

First of all the bathrooms are trashy. The baby changing area was a counter. Second of all the seating was quick yet the waiter was very disrespectful and ignorant. It took them an hour to make my mom's salad. The fried pickles weren't fried enough and the seats were hard. They had Halloween stuff and creepy bullcrap in the middle of July. read more

Stop-ed in to eat after shopping at Bass Pro. The wait wasn't very bad. But our waitress and service was ridiculously bad. She never brought us small plates. She never produced straws and on top of that NEVER turned our order in after she told us twice it was coming out. We finally flagged down the older, VERY NICE, brown lady who was helping everyone. We told her we had been sitting there almost an hour for our food. She immediately went to the kitchen to check. She immediately came back and told us they were just now preparing our food. She was very apologetic but due to time constraints we could no longer sit and wait. She told us we did NOT have to pay for our drinks. We then left and never saw our waitress again. We ordered Dumplings and Meatloaf. It wasn't like they had to fry it up. Three tables that were seated after us had come in, ate, and left. This happened to us at the West Monroe, LA CB about 3 years ago. This was the first time I have been in a CB. NEVER AGAIN CB. read more

If I could give no stars I WOULD. This is the second time we had the same server JADA and she was horrible both times. No refills, (had to actually ask another server for a to go tea for my son), never asked how things where, once she dropped the food, we never seen her again, Except when she came to ask if it was all on one check. We never seen her again because even another server dropped out check. How Jada got 3 stars on her apron is beyond me she needs to go back through training or find a job doing something else. Very disappointing and the food wasn't good either... but ya know we couldn't say anything because our server didn't seem to care if we were happy or pleased. Avoid Pearl Cracker Barrel like the plague! read more

Service: waitress did the best she could smiles and friendly, but having to apologize for the kitchen. Ambience: clean as expected from Cracker Barrel. Food: I ordered tips chicken and shrimp sampler with baked potatoes. Tips almost too tough to eat and mostly fat, baked potato came to the table late. Chicken no flavor and over fried in grease. My wife ordered hamburger steak with gravy and onions. Well hamburger here gravy here no onions. "They will be right out with the baked potato " 5 mins 10mins hamburger steak getting cold after asking 3 different people to include the manager and expressing my displeasure with my wife's food getting cold to be completed they finally came. My food is now cold as me and my wife would like to enjoy diner together. I guess she could've ate her steak without the onions and ate the onions by themselves but that's not the way it was ordered and even offered at time of ordering. I am of the opinion that you may as well bring the wrong food out as to bringing pieces at a time letting your paying customer food experience ruin. read more

Let me preface this by saying we decided to get my 95 year old grandmother out of the house for Mother's Day. We sat for almost an hour after ordering and then the waitress says they don't have half the food we ordered. So we REORDER. We then wait ANOTHER hour and a half. They finally bring out food out at 9 PM!!! The steak was completely under done. The chicken was DRY AND OKRA WAS STALE. I am so disappointed. We will never give this establishment a dime again. read more

Left a review on google as well. Absolutely horrible, ordered pickup for meatloaf, dumplings, and pan trout with sides. Everything looked old like it sat out for a while, the pan trout was extremely dry and hard, the meat loaf was burnt, and the dumplings looked like slope. They do not care about quality anymore. Did not eat any of it. read more

So everyone is up in arms over the new Cracker Barrel logo. I am much more concerned about the sharp decline in food quality. We have been loyal CB customers for years and years. Absolutely every time we travel and a CB is available, we stop there. This summer was one of those times. We both said at the time that we were very disappointed. And this was early summer, before All of this hoopla. We had to ask twice just to get biscuits and cornbread, and biscuits were flat and smaller. The chicken and dumplings tasted awful and the tater tot casserole had changed for the worse. Why do this when customers won't come back? I think you need to double down on food quality and customer experience, and stop focusing on stupid stuff like changing a logo customers love. It does not make any sense. If the current management team doesn't understand this, fire them and bring in people who do-- before it is too late! read more

I've never left a review in my life. BUT this has to be the WORST service and FOOD experience I have ever had!! I love cracker barrel but this one is terrible. We asked for biscuits and corn bread first and ofc like many people it doesn't come in until you get your food. Even after asking politely reminding multiple times. Tables around us were getting baskets w biscuits and corn bread first after being there 35 min we finally got JUST biscuits on a plate despite everyone else's in a basket ( which is irrelevant) but helped us quickly realize that our biscuit had been reheated. They were wrinkly and it was super obvious they had been reheated. Then our food comes out right after we get the long awaited JUST biscuits and the food and very very obviously reheated! The hash brown casserole was hard and had crispy Burnt pieces on the top (indicating it was heated on the plate) the chicken was cold and also showing signs that it was reheated (which to me is very easy to tell) lastly the okra also had definitely been reheated as it was chewy. I usually enjoy crackerbarrel. This was such a terrible experience. Will never go to this one again. read more

I have never experience such poor customer service. Attempting to place an order to go: I drove from Clinton to Pearl, on hold to place an order with the Kitchen. After being transferred 6 times to only be disconnected, calling back 4 additional times of which a person answered then disconnected the call. I arrive, with my phone still on hold with the Cracker Barrell hold music playing on my speaker. The manager is exiting the door with a customer with a large order, he returns to retrieve the remainder of the large order that would not fit on a rolling cart. I am assisted by the cashier and directed to the hostess counter. I stand an additional 10 minutes before being assisted. There are approximately 12 cars in the parking lot and workers moving about. Not busy, it is 8:30 am. My order is finally taken, I am told it will be a 20 minute wait. I return inside to do a second order, same poor service took 10 minutes for someone to exit the kitchen. That person then proceed to seat waiting customers and then take my order. Meanwhile, manager walks by nonchalantly and go to the back. I hope the food is worth the wait and better than the service. I should definitely check my order before leaving. I do not know, maybe this one will close soon like the Jackson location... read more
