Service was poor. Food not up the CB standards. Had chicken fried steak and was very bland. Dinning room very loud bout not crowded.

We were driving up to DC from Charleston on the evening before my tonsillectomy, so I knew I wanted to have the world's most gluttonous dinner (aka last meal). I wanted to go someplace I had never been before but then you never know what you're going to get . So we decided on a compromise - Cracker Barrel. We figured it was a pretty safe choice and I'd never been there for dinner. Plus they had biscuits, and biscuits were on my list of foods I wanted to eat before I was reduced to jello and popsicles. This CB wasn't too busy for an early Tuesday dinner. Our waitress was an older lady who looked like she desperately needed a good night's sleep...or perhaps even a month's worth of vacation. She was sweet but she forgot parts of our orders, even after we reminded her twice. I ordered the veggie skillet, which was fabulous and extremely filling. It came with two delicious salty biscuits so it made my life happy. My boyfriend got his fried catfish dish that he'd been talking about for the past few weeks and said it was as good as he remembered it. We both had so much food I really wish we could have boxed some of it up and saved it for the next day. If you're on a long road trip up or down I-95, don't worry, there are dozens of Cracker Barrel's along the way. read more

This is the best Cracker Barrel. I go quite often, actually the only place in town that I trust during Covid. Favorite server is Melissa, our order is always right, and hot and she really hustles to get everything out quickly. Great food at a reasonable price! read more

I looove cracker barrels. I have been to ones in New York and Pennsylvania and always had great food and service. Maybe its visible we are out of towners but service was extremely poor. Host didn't greet, server did not say hello, asked what we wanted and walked away. I wanted dessert but she gave me my check beforehand. Swept around my table and under my table while I was eating. My husband had a good burger but my ham was overcooked and too dry. Also, what happened to southern hospitality? read more

Worst hostess ever! Not a single word from her, no smile, no greeting. We asked for a different table and she still never said a word and acted put out by our request. Go to a different Cracker Barrel where folks want you to be there. read more

I understand staffing issues, but a 50 minute wait when your dining room was barely full? And then to have your hostess rudely proclaim the wait? Nah. We will spend our money elsewhere read more

After a very tiring day we ordered curb side pickup before going home. The email said the food would be ready in about 20 minutes. My husband called to let them know what parking spot number we were in then we waited. After 40 minutes I called, figuring that maybe with the sudden downpour our food was waiting on a counter somewhere waiting for a break in the rain. Shannon answered and was very nice and apologetic, explaining that the chicken was being cooked to order and was almost done. We understood and didn't mind waiting. He offered to bring us something to drink while we waited and came out about 2 minutes later with our food, plus 2 free drinks and 2 free desserts! Thank you so much for going the extra mile Shannon, we certainly appreciated it and the food was wonderful! read more

I had been one other time to cracker barrel - got sick. But my husband always wanted to go. Ha! The king of MacDonalds even said it was disgusting. I just don't get it. The personnel are great, friendly and sweet, but that will never get me back to a cracker barrel. It surely aint my mama's cooking. My dinner stayed with me through the next day. Find yourself someplace better than a cracker barrel. read more

So it was camp time again and as its tradition went to Cracker Barrel after picking my child up from Camp Adam Fisher (20th June 2015). Everything was super nice like it has was last year. Server was very attentive - then my son says there is a bug swimming in his chicken and dumplings. Which there was, looked to me like a carpet beetle. Got the waitress and she said yes I will take care of that and brought out another portion without asking us. There was no way we were eating anything else there. Then the manager came over and asked what the problem was and said he would take care of the bill - which is what I would expect. We then left. There is more... That afternoon all four of us had bad tummy upsets so it wasn't just the bug in my sons chicken and dumplings. Not sure if we will be going there next year after camp. Really put us off to be honest. read more

This place sucks,,, seated for 12 minutes place was not busy and could not get waited on. If u have an hour or 2 stop here. Otherwise pass. They are all too busy texting. read more

Really nice lunch at Cracker Barrel. The place was so busy and the staff was still so welcoming. My daughter had the chicken Cesar salad said best one she has had in quite awhile read more

I usually like Cracker Barrel. However, I was not impressed with this one. The waitress seemed annoyed at us. The food was also not that good. I got the chicken and dumplings and was not impressed. read more

Had mike as our server, he was great quick but not pushy. Food came out perfect and super fast. He was just about the perfect server there when you needed him but didn't hover. Crystal the manger was amazing! Super friendly and attended to our needs. They are RV friendly. read more

Had a great breakfast and loved our server Lisa was awesome. The blueberry pancakes are delicious and the coffee was kept coming. Thank you!

Food came out fast, server was nice and everyone said hello. Not impressed with my undercooked potatoes and bacon. They also had a bitter taste. Could have been better. The establishment was clean. read more

I feel extremely blessed to have stopped at this Cracker Barrel. They can always be counted on. But the customer service at this particular location went above and beyond this morning! read more

When traveling we always stop at cracker barrel restauranrs, always consistent. This one on Santee SC, has the worst ladies room my wife has ever been in, she said that gas stations would have been a better choice. read more

You just can't get any better home-style food that CB! This location has all the dishes and delectable tastefulness that all others possess. The only setback is that is just about the dirtiest CB we have seen. I don't have enough fingers and toes to count how many Old Country Stores we've visited over the years, so saying it's not the cleanest is really based on at least 25 other locations across the country. The service is still A+ and my kids never notice anything but their yummy food! read more

Our traveling choice forever. Great dinner and service tonight in santee sc. Cannot go wrong with cracker barrell.

Oh good Lord. During a drive from MIA to RI, we got hungry as you expect we would. My friend that was with LOVES this place, so we looked for one, and voila! A few miles up, there one was. Let me say this: I get it, its a Cracker Barrel. I know they dont really depend on repeat customers. But c'mon. We were seated with in 10 min. Then.... we waited. And waited. And waited. Finally, the manager came over to get a drink order for us. Then a server came over close to 10 min later to get our order. I put in soup (cause I was mega sick and needed something hot). I never got it. Then ANOTHER server came over to get our main order. 20 min later... still no soup. 10 min later.... finally we got our dinner. And it was cold. So, after having 2 servers and manager wait on us, we weren't really sure who to ask for anything. We sent our food back, and within 2 min, it was back in front of us. Clearly, it was chucked in the microwave. Ya know, when you are traveling for days, and its pouring rain, and your hungry, and there is a place offering comfort food, that's what you expect. Ill probably not ever go back to CB. No one seemed to care that we were there at all. And that's the opposite of what we needed at the time. read more

Reliable for a quick and fresh meal while traveling I-95. New wholesome options offer a healthier take on the traditional menu. It's like fast food but homemade. read more

The service here was good however the bacon was very over cooked and the scrambled eggs were very under done. Also the grits were like wall paper paste with no flavor. Although the country fried steak was alright it wasn't on par with other Cracker Barrel locations. Would probably pass on this location in the future. read more

Apparently at this location, once you get your check that's it, no more refills ect. The restrooms were a little unkept surprisingly how slow it was for dinner. read more

Stopped here on our way to Virginia on Thanksgiving Day. They had a special dinner plate for 12.99. All the traditional fixings. Came with a drink and pie of your choice. Pleasantly surprise it was really good! They were busy but for a party of two we only waited about maybe 20 minutes. We had Elizabeth as our waitress and she was very attentive. Would most definately stop here again! read more

Good meal with great service. Cracker Barrel is pretty predictable, so there were no surprises. Our server, Samantha, was great. Super friendly and helpful. I ordered the country fried steak, along with mac and cheese, fried apples and the special veg of the day, broccoli and cheese casserole. Everything was delicious. The plate of biscuits and cornbread were warm. My only complaint, and this is personal, the cornbread has zero flavor to me. Not enough salt and not a hint of sugar. I'm accustomed to cornbread that is at least a little sweet. Shopping in the CB store is always great and we left with a bag of old time candy we didn't need. Best thing in Santee so far. read more

Food was awful Never again. I will try fast food next time. The people working there are nice. Plenty of parking but don't go for the food read more

Typical Cracker Barrel. Had chicken and rice. Service was friendly. Good roadside eats on I-95 read more

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Santee, South Carolina

Typical Cracker Barrel. Service was friendly. Good roadside eats on the Interstate system.

I have eaten at this location many times. The food was always predictable good. The servuce is always consistent wether busy or slow. I reccomend heading to this restaurant for a quick 'southern' meal. read more

Very friendly staff - Cracker Barrel food is always consistent - good American style fare with all your favorites with a Southern flare - Ordered the raspberry iced tea that was a little too sweet - wife had the one of the special roast beef dip sandwich on a baguette with au jus - pretty good - I ordered the Friday night fish fry and had the piece of breaded catfish - it was very good read more

Food good but almost impossible to find this restaurant. Came off interstate looking for it, had to go to google maps to find it. Still have not seen a sign! No wonder it was almost deserted! read more

Pulled into this Cracker Barrel right behind a tour bus. I considered turning around and coming back another day, but my daughter had her heart set on dumplings. So, we went inside. The hostess quickly seated the bus load of retirees and still had room for my daughter and me. Our server was able to respond to us quickly and the manager on duty was making frequent rounds to pick up the slack. The food was what we expect from CB which is why we go there - no surprises. I was very impressed with their ability to accommodate that large crowd and still serve their regular customers without delay. read more

This was the last leg of our trip and we are head back home. Just made a stop here at about 9:15/ 9:20. Closing time is 10:00pm. I'm always weary when I go to a a place close to closing time. I know the end of a shift of serving can be rough and the last thing you want to see is someone running in trying to get in right before closing! lol...Ms. Lillie was our server and she was as sweet as sothern pecan pie! I can tell she was tired but she gave us her best from the time we sat down! she took our orders. The kids had breakfast, we had pork chop dinner plate with turnips and steak fries & country fried steak, gravy, greens and salad. A few cups of copy to survive the last leg of the trip. Thank you Ms. Lillie for giving us your best at the very end of your shift! read more

Two major complaints. One, the place was dirty including the disgusting high chair had days old crusty food on it. The second complaint was when the server brought the 4 iced tea drinks in glasses, he dumped them on my two year olds head causing him to scream. I'm going to pass on this one forever. read more

Excellent dinner and breakfast. Reasonably priced with big portions. Very friendly staff. Good stick to your bones type down home food. Delicious string beans mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese with roast beef for dinner. Scrumptious eggs sausage bacon and pancakes for breakfast. Also very racially inclusive with many blacks on staff and as customers. Will definitely go back if in santee again. read more

The service was excellent but the food was average or below. I had blueberry pancakes and they were the worst pancakes I think I have ever had. I also had eggs overnight and they were cooked perfect. Maybe they just don't know how to cook pancakes? They are suppose to be light and fluffy. turned once and served first side up. read more

After waiting 30 minutes with my party of 7, we were told that the kitchen was getting backed up and they weren't able to seat us. It would have been nice if they had told us when we first got there instead of wasting 30 minutes of our vacation time browsing their overpriced merchandise. read more

We went to this location for dinner and we were told there was a 20-25 minute wait. We gave our name and number and were told we would receive a text when our table was ready. The host, Mikayla, wasn't super friendly at first, but we headed outside to wait. There were other families outside waiting and we occasionally heard them call people in from the intercom. 30 minutes passed and we saw a family of four who had only been waiting 10ish minutes get called through the intercom for their table. We head inside to see when we will be sat, and the host "Mikayla" says the iPad was dead so she couldn't text us and we were outside so she couldn't sit us. She said she was told to sit that family of four before us, although there was only two of us and we had been there 20 minutes before them. If they called the family through the intercom why couldn't they do that for us? We ask how long for a table now, and she says "idk it's looking like it's gonna be a while" (with EXTREME attitude while sighing and no apology). At this point the restaurant is cleared out and there were only 2 small parties waiting to be sat. She has no intention of getting us a table anytime soon so we ask for a manager. He is able to clear off a table and we are sat within 5 minutes and offers us a free dessert. Our service once we are sat is great thanks to Ashley! read more

This place is all right. They used to give you 100% maple syrup with your pancakes, but not anymore. Also, they are always out of those tasty bran muffins. One star for the cheap candy and the maple candies shaped like maple leaves. read more

We've enjoyed this location every time we have been. For a small town, this Cracker Barrel is one of the best I've been to. One of the waitresses, Ariel, and the manager have been so sweet helpful each time we've gone. No complaints! read more
