It was just delicious, the fries were crisp. Everything was very hot and delicious. The service was very friendly and helpful answered all of our questions, they are only open from 11 to 230 for lunch on Sunday after church. The place was packed, but our food was brought quickly and efficiently, we definitely enjoy it. Got to spend a couple of minutes talking to the owner, who's a very nice guy, and you can tell that this is a family run business, and they cater to their customers. There were a lot of regulars as the wait staff was addressing them by name and saying thank you for coming back back.

Another road trip, another hunger emergency. Heading out of Atlanta on I-85, I thought I could make…read moreit to Greenville before stopping for dinner. Nope. Comfort food was calling, and Cracker Barrel in Anderson answered. This location is incredibly convenient to I-85 at Exit 19B. It almost feels like it's sitting out there by itself, but don't let that fool you--it gets BUSY. I arrived around supper time just before the rush hit, and within a short time the place had that packed Sunday-lunch-after-church energy. I ordered my Cracker Barrel comfort-food regular: country fried steak with mashed potatoes and corn, gravy on the side, biscuits, and an Arnold Palmer. My server, Michael--name proudly embroidered on his apron--was lovely. Friendly, welcoming and attentive from the start. My meal came out surprisingly fast considering how busy the restaurant was becoming, and everything arrived piping hot. The country fried steak was crispy, hearty and exactly what I wanted. Mashed potatoes, corn, gravy, biscuits--nothing fancy here, just a big plate of stick-to-your-ribs comfort food. I did need to give everything a generous dose of salt and pepper to wake up the flavors. Next time, I'm asking for Tabasco too. Problem solved. What impressed me most was Michael. The restaurant kept filling up, but he never disappeared. He checked on me frequently, kept things moving and maintained that friendly attitude even as his section got busier. Good service deserves recognition--and a good tip. Now, Cracker Barrel, we need to discuss dessert. For a restaurant built around nostalgic Southern comfort food, the dessert selection feels like a missed opportunity. Where is the carrot cake? Red velvet? Pecan pie? Coconut cream pie? And for goodness' sake, COBBLER! Give me a warm peach or blackberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream and take my money. The biscuit beignets and sundae options just weren't calling my name after that meal. So I skipped dessert and headed toward the register, where Cracker Barrel cleverly makes you walk through the land of rocking chairs, candy and every tchotchke imaginable before you can escape. Earlier I'd spotted some soft, chewy pralines, so I grabbed a couple for the road. Not quite as memorable as some I've had in Texas, but they did the job. Overall, this was exactly what a road-trip stop should be: convenient, fast, hot, filling and genuinely friendly. If you're traveling north or south on I-85 near Anderson and comfort food starts calling, Exit 19B is an easy detour. And if Michael is working, you're in good hands. Life is too short not to eat well. Get out there and find your next meal!

It was a treat to go to CB when I was a kid...something magical about the store at the front of the restaurant. Although I rarely buy anything it is always fun to browse. The staff is usually so friendly-true Southern hospitality. Not necessarily a healthy menu but you can enjoy true Southern comfort food. Emily was my server. She checked on me several times. She was very courteous and attentive but didn't hover excessively. I had the NY Strip Steak, a loaded baked potato, fried okra and a cornbread muffin and a biscuit. It was all good. The only think I would skip next time is the peach lemonade. (It tasted "fake.") I treated myself to a hot S'mores Coffee to finish off my meal. It was sooooo good-dessert and coffee rolled into one delicious yummy concoction. Always good for a Southern comfort food experience and Southern hospitality.
