The food here is great depending on what you order. The chicken & meatloaf with beans & carrots are the best, the chicken sandwich & the Coca Cola cake. Misty,is a great server Danica & Lilly & Alison at counter are awesome. The Crying & screaming babies is unacceptable & something needs to be done. read more

It's a chain store but I'll give them a pass for that. This location, right off the fwy in north Phoenix, gets it right! The service was exemplary from the very start of meeting the hostess! She was extremely pleasant and actually laughed at my stupid joke! Sat us right away and left a great impression! Out server was also very pleasant, competent and on point with the specifics of our order! She also gave us great suggestions and made our complicated order work with the kitchen and store requirements! Love it!! This location was not particularly packed, at 2 in the afternoon, and was easy to hold a conversation with my business partner without constantly yelling "WHAT?"! The food, once again, was incredible! With my order, the hash brown casserole with a side of bacon and pancakes. So good! Will always come back! read more

What a lovely treat! Cracker Barrel's Garden Scramble with spinach and cremini mushrooms was bright and refreshing. For a healthy option, we chose the egg whites and the multigrain toast without butter. The toast with blueberry preserves was delicious. Kudos to Lilly! She deserves her four stars and more! the hash brown casserole was undercooked and she brought us a perfectly prepared batch. Lilly was sunshine and flowers. Her bubbly personality made our dining experience. She made a joke about her nickname Silly Lilly, but in truth, she is Lovely Lilly. We spoke to the manager about how she made our meal special! Keep up the good work. read more

Stopped in for breakfast today with my daughters as part of our day adventure. We were seated right away which was nice. We each tried a different breakfast meal, an old timer, grandma breakfast and the strawberry French toast bake. The food was all delicious and filling. The service was good up until the end when our server forgot to bring us a to go box and I had to walk over to the kitchen area and ask for one. The country feel is homey and perfect for the food served. read more

I came to this Cracker Barrel today. To grab a bite to eat. The service and the food was very subpar. The Grits were dry and overcooked. My burger was well done. Was barely able to get a refill before I left the Beignets were also dry and overcooked. When leaving and checking out after entering my phone number it did not give me the option to leave a review on the machine today to express how the food or service was as well. read more

My wife and I stopped in yesterday. We used to be fairly regulars here, but we stopped when we moved for a short time and now we've returned. We were looking forward to it. The place was clean, and the staff was friendly, but the food was well below what we expected. I ordered the beef tips and eggs were just okay... you can't really screw up eggs but the beef was flavorless. The fried apples weren't bad, but the biscuit and gravy tasted like flour. My wife ordered the catfish, and it wasn't bad, just under seasoned, and all of her side dishes were flavorless. Not terrible, but not worth the $50 for two meh meals read more

My wife and I came here for breakfast, we've been here plenty of times and this place satisfies any craving for great southern food cooking. We ordered the strawberry pancakes, country fried chicken, extra side of pancakes, extra side of eggs and sausage. Service was great, our waitress was a pro, very fast to serve our food and made sure we got any drink refills promptly. This is a very family friendly restaurant, bring the kids out or just come and enjoy comfort food here, you'll love it. Very country themed interior, old fashioned look but nice. Prices are extremely reasonable and portions are generous. We never had a bad experience here. It's like eating at a good friend's house. Check out their daily specials. Tuesday's are pork chop specials, yummy !! read more

Cracker Barrel never disappoints when it comes to comfort food and the food was genuinely good this visit. The mimosas were a little too sweet for my taste and could use some tweaking, but that is a minor complaint. What really stood out was the service. Absolutely top notch from start to finish. The staff was attentive, friendly and made the whole experience enjoyable. A solid spot for a relaxed, feel good meal. Will definitely be back!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

3.5 STARS! The Cracker Barrel chain is barely making its way into California, so I was looking forward to trying it out in Phoenix, AZ. The restaurant interior is large, open, and spacious. Cute Americana signage and trinkets all over for decor. The gift shop workers, host, and server were all wonderful and welcoming. The portions are generous (huge, even). Vibes and hospitality are the majority of what Cracker Barrel has going for it, though. Nothing was exceptional, unfortunately. Our party's meal was a range of good: the chicken, meatloaf, chicken and dumplings to okay: macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, corn... and then some not so good: biscuit and muffins were stale, beverages tasted watered down or otherwise "off." I'd try Cracker Barrel again because their menu is extensive. There's so much we didn't try yet and we didn't even have room for dessert. I can see how this could be a comfort food à la Denny's or IHOP or other sit-down restaurant chains. read more

Hadn't been to Cracker Barrel in a very long time so I was looking forward to a great breakfast. The service was really great. I ordered Grandpa's Country Fried Breakfast $17.79, chicken fried steak with eggs over easy and instead of biscuits and gravy I chose sourdough toast. The eggs were over hard, chicken fried steak was so dry that I could not finish it. Even the sourdough toast was dry and weirdly sweet? It was a very disappointing meal. The store has some cool stuff and trinkets but I came for breakfast and unfortunately did not have a good experience. I probably would've had a better experience at Denny's. read more

Enjoyed the food and service. When entering the restaurant it's be like a general store with nick knacks and cloches. A really fun general store with their old fashion candy. We came for lunch looked like the menu was changed again. I ordered the shrimp plate with rice and corn. The shrimp and hush puppies were good. The rice was salty. The meat loaf was very good. Moist and flavorful. The biscuits were a hit with honey and butter. Stop by for breakfast severed all day, or lunch, along with a dinner menu. read more

Pancakes are not good to go and were not as good overall. The coca cola chocolate fudge cake also was good, but lacking some soda flavor. read more

Our server made us feel very very rushed. We barely sat down and hadn't even put my purse down and he was asking about drinks and appetizers. We told him to give us a minute so we could look at the menu. He came back four times in five minutes. When we ordered, most of the things we got he said was an "up charge". On regular items... My date got the steak and shrimp combo with steak fries and bacon, macaroni and cheese. I got the meatloaf with salad and okra. For dessert, we ordered the carrot cake with one scoop of ice cream, which also was an up charge for the ice cream. And we only got a half a scoop. Everything from the main meal, was very bland and room temperature. The meatloaf and the okra both left a weird film in my mouth and had a weird aftertaste to it. The okra was very soggy. My boyfriend actually googled how to identify printed meat because this steak was kind of questionable. The carrot cake and the shrimp were the only two things that had any real flavor to them. They were the only things that tasted like what Cracker Barrel used to taste like. Very disappointed actually. Cracker Barrel used to feel like visiting family and had real home cooking. This tasted like bad cafeteria food. read more

Once again giving them yet another chance and they prove my point. They do not know how to cook scrambled eggs. One of the easiest things to make. read more

I stopped by yesterday with my mom and my son, we love Cracker Barrel! The service is always so good when we come. We got greeted when we walked into the gift shop right away, which we LOVE the gift shop, there is soooo many nice things in here from adult clothes, pens, candles, knickknacks, baby clothes, candy, toys, chapsticks, soaps, magnets, books, notebooks, pepper and salt shakers and sets of them, car scents, lotions, blankets, aprons, pots and pans, baking supplies, pies, jewelry, and probably more! I seriously love the gift shop. We went to eat first then browsed through the shop to get goodies. I got the Grandma's Sampler with extra bacon crispy, with the hash brown casserole and scrambled eggs with cheese, Yum! Their pancakes are soooo yummy! I love how they have the crispy ends and soft fluffy middle, the syrup is also so so good! Nice and buttery and everything was so yummy! Seriously my favorite! My mom got The Old Timer's breakfast with over easy eggs, bacon, and the hash brown casserole. She also got biscuits and gravy which was delicious! I tried the gravy, it was great! My son got the kids meal with the chicken tenders and fries, he loved his as well! We all loved what we got. Our food came out quick as well. It was a really great experience. Then in the gift shop I got an Apron, a cute Owl Pen with white snow glitter on it, goat milk lotion, and goat milk chapstick, my son got a dinosaur toy that holds a lollipop, and I believe that was all this time around. Usually we get so much more but we had to get going for the day. Definitely will be coming back like the per usual! The ambiance in here is so cute as well, love it! It's cute western old feeling and super comforting. They also had the fire place going in the restaurant area and it was a nice touch. Loved it! read more

It's always such a treat eating at a Cracker Barrel. You know what to expect and that's exactly what we received. The kids had pancakes for dinner while my hubby enjoyed the country fried chicken. U had soup and salad. The veggie soup was not great, it was water with veggies. Salad is generously sized much I was grateful for, and the chicken was moist and flavorful! The kids liked the pancakes and enjoyed shopping in the cute store. We will absolutely continue to visit Cracker Barrel locations whenever we are near one! Thanks for being consistent in a world that is ever changing. read more

Absolutely one of the worst meals I've had in years! I got a craving for fried chicken and came here to get some. I ate the drum, it was okay but the breading was super crunchy and dry. Every other piece wasn't edible trying a bite of each. It had obviously been fried many, many hours ago, was dry, and the crust like trying to chew gravel. The Mac was room temperature and bland. The pinto beans were okay, but way too sweet. The biscuits stale and dry with crunchy edges. read more

Well, it happened again. I fell victim to clever advertising. I've seen multiple commercials for Cracker Barrels early dinner deals and all-day breakfast specials, so we finally succumbed to the visual pressure and went to the Deer Valley location for their 4-6 early dinner deals starting at $10.99. The decor is a country store/ hunting lodge, and it is cool inside. Our server Bree was very friendly and helpful. We started with loaded hashbrown casserole tots, and they were delicious. Here's a tip you can get a free Barrel Bite appetizer when you join their rewards club. I had the homestyle chicken $11.49, and my wife had the grilled farm-rasised catfish $11.49. Both were enjoyable, but the sides were a little bland. Overall, Cracker Barrel is good value for families and a great place for comfort food. read more

My fiancée and I went here for breakfast this morning. Let me tell you, the BEST breakfast we've had in a very long time. The food was incredible. The pancakes and French toast were soft and fluffy. The hashbrown casserole is to die for!! Even though it was super busy the service was amazing! Everyone was so so nice and friendly and helpful. We had to wait a little bit for our food which was totally fine because the ambiance is so welcoming and enjoyable to look at. Very well kept and clean. Better than Waffle House food! We will definitely be back!! read more

I have gone too many Cracker Barrel's. It is my comfort food. The campfire chicken is one of my favorites so I'm so happy they have it this summer. I tried their s'mores brownie. Oh my goodness was that delicious definitely need to share it with someone. I had Stacy as my server and she was kind and wonderful. I felt so bad because I got here like 830 or so so probably 30 minutes before closing but she never rushed me. It was wonderful. If I'm in the area again, I would definitely come back to this one. read more

Absolutely terrible. We had a reservation for 9, we did not receive out food until ELEVEN!! We waited TWO hours for our breakfast just for it to almost be lunch. Once we received our food, things were missing from plates, and the waitresses were absolutely chaotic. It was so chaotic in there, and for fathers day, you guys should be prepared. It should NEVER be as chaotic as it was. Your priority should be your big tables. Not to mention this was my first experience. Terrible.. read more

Found this location to be reliable traditional decor and same great food and service! Yummy biscuits and gravy.

Now that all the brouhaha and noise about the logo and the redesign are behind us figured I'd go back to Old Fashioned restaurant and have a nice dinner. I was really impressed with the service and now you can actually pay with your app online and they have a pretty decent Rewards program as well so I'd advise to get the Cracker Barrel app cuz you get a free appetizer just for signing up. Anyway, I got myself the grilled Smokehouse chicken with a side of sweet potato casserole and fresh fruit. The chicken was a little chewy for me and I was kind of surprised I got through about three quarters of it I got too brass which were decent in size and the seasoning was okay. I really liked the sweet potato casserole cuz it had walnuts and cranberries in it which gave it some additional flavor. Also, the fresh fruit was well pineapples, blueberries, and strawberries. I like this place because they have a lot of healthy options and good protein hits. And of course my favorite part is still the entryway where you can shop around and see all those old time candies and all the different items that they have for sale clothing and toys and all sorts of stuff even had stuff for Halloween and even Christmas stuff is up already go figure. The menus expanded a bit and I'm really impressed with some of their new selections and look forward to trying them in the future. read more

This restaurant has gone down hill. The breakfast dishes were unsatisfying and have the quality of cafeteria style food. You are better off buying your own groceries and making breakfast yourself. I ordered the Old Timer's Breakfast, it contained two eggs, your choice of meat and one side with biscuits and gravy. Their sausage patties here are the worst I have ever eaten. I couldn't even tell what protein I was digesting. Their famous hashbrown casserole was also bland, I had to douse it with ketchup to add flavor as it contained more cheese than potatoes. I also ordered the Biscuit Beignets and those were fantastic. Freshly deep-fried and warm, tossed in cinnamon and powdered sugar with a butter pecan dipping sauce. Despite the tasteless food, shout out to our server Kimberly for providing excellent customer service and taking good care of us. read more

It was my first time to a Cracker Barrel and oh em gee!!! What an experience!!! Totally recommend, although we went for Thanksgiving, so I can't talk about any other food, but even then the food (turkey dinner) was amazing! We also bought things in the shop. The service was amazing and everyone was so nice, even on a holiday! Will definitely go back for more! read more

I enjoy most meals at Cracker Barrel very much. The team there works very hard to serve the meal quickly and in a friendly manner. Had the Thursday Turkey special. It was disappointing at best--turkey had no flavor, dressing and puréed squash all tasted the same. It was the first time I was disappointed in the food. As you advertise special opportunities for Thanksgiving take out it might be good to taste and critique the food and maybe make some adjustments. It felt like it was prepared in advance and gravy was added before serving. I enjoy going at off hours for a good experience! Definitely plan some time for the gift shop to purchase Christmas ornaments. It's my favorite spot for unique ornaments. read more

Cracker Barrel used to be the place to go for a delicious meal breakfast, lunch and dinner. Those days seem long gone. The service is still good but the food has gone downhill big time. Last 2 times I went for breakfast the hash brown casserole was barely warm. Today though was the last straw. The coffee which has always been great here was awful. Thought it tasted very bitter. I asked the waitress to bring another cup. Same taste. I won't be back. Cracker Barrel you've ruined your restaurant. read more

The service and the food or excellent! We were a party of 15 and we couldn't be more happy with this establishment.

Tiffany P was an excellent server. It was the best service we have had anywhere in a long time.

It had been a while since I ate at Cracker Barrel, but it was worth the trip. Service was excellent (the receipt reads Ezel, but I don't recall that being his name), the food was good, and the bathrooms were clean as always. My Strawberry Mimosa was made from wine, not champagne - I did not like it. The general store is always great for browsing and buying. Old-fashioned candies, unique clothes and toys, and other oddities make the restaurant interesting. read more

I was missing 3 items from Easter meal - 2 mash potatoes with gravy and 1 pecan pie. This order didn't deserve a tip.

We love Cracker Barrel for the great food and old time ambience. And we want to especially commend our waitress tonight, Erynn, who was possibly the best server we've had anywhere. She was fast, very friendly, incredibly attentive, and returned often to see that we had everything we needed. We'll definitely be back again! read more

The sever was so nice all the food was amazing we had a great time. We didn't need anything else

Oh how awful it was. I'm talking about the food. And it was so bad, so completely detestable, that it cancels out any other good things about the place. Basket of cornbread and biscuits with 4 cornbread and one biscuit. All of them incredibly dried out, as in over a day old dry and stale. The rest of the meal was the same. Country fried steak small, 5" breaded, the size of a thin hamburger patty. Stale, dry, with the breading soft and falling off. Mashed potatoes were a grayish brown, dry and crumbly. Greens were seasoned with rancid grease. Friend's meatloaf was dry, even hard in spots. The tomato sauce was dried up, almost gone. His hashbrown casserole had that gray color that my potatoes had, and when I asked how it tasted, he frowned and shrugged his shoulders. Then he tried to pry the sole biscuit open. It wouldn't open with his knife. He tapped the edge of the biscuit on the table. It clunked. Nothing else need be said about this place, the service, or anything else. Gray potatoes and biscuits that clunk. Everything was at least a day old, as in made the day before or possibly even earlier. This vile meal cost over $60. Never again. read more

Today we had Sam the man! Service was incredible food was amazing. We will be back thanks to Sam.

I love crackle barrel!! So yummy and their seasonal items are so fresh!! Go give them a try!!

We were greeted and seated immediately. The food and service by Stacy were amazing and my great grandson fell in love with the peg game they had at the table.
