Who hasn’t eaten at Cracker Barrel? In our younger days, my husband I had our weekly dates at CB. Now I use CB to get home-cooked tasting meals I won’t cook for myself…beef pot roast, fried chicken, meat loaf and the list goes on. The veggies are good. The biscuits and cornbread taste like Grandma’s. I even appreciate the real salted butter. Don’t forget the coffee and pie for a quick break from driving. My grandchildren have experienced and enjoyed many meals at CB. They appreciate the food, the fireplace and the gift shop.

New Menu items were delicious, and while shopping I had a employee named Ben go above and beyond to help me one on with with several different things. From checking inventory to digging the item I wanted out and scanning it to let me know the price! Bagging up all items to ensure nothing broke. Excellent customer service. 5 Star for Ben!

I’m not sure if it’s me or cracker barrel, I never seem to get great service and food anymore. I use too always didn’t matter which one I stopped at it was always a great time, not anymore. The store manager JOSHUA did a good job trying to apize me
But i think the problem is bigger than both of us.like I said bad service, cold food under cooked breakfast, maybe it’s me i know how it should be done ( my wife and I both have been in the restaurant service)i don’t understand these people wanting big tips but can’t remember to bring cream with coffee or spoon ,not paying attention to the order
And getting it the way it was ordered

There’s a specific kind of magic in the consistency Cracker Barrel offers. As full-time RVers, this isn’t just a restaurant to us; it’s a sanctuary.
We stop here constantly, and there is nothing quite like that early morning walk from the rig to grab a coffee. It’s quiet, grounded, and feels incredibly safe—a rare “home base” feeling when you’re always on the move.
A huge thank you to Cracker Barrel for remaining truly original and one-of-a-kind. Your support for the RV community doesn’t go unnoticed. You make life on the road feel a little more poetic and a lot more welcoming

Food was great, service was awesome and we are so glad we chose to pop in for lunch, then get back onto I-75! I had the bacon egg and cheese hashbrown casserole and was not disappointed.

Cozy, CLEAN & good comfort food country style. 1st one I’ve been to that didn’t have dust on the walls, lights, decor, etc. Great job to all who work so hard at this location!

First time dining here. The food was excellent and the customer service was very good. Despite how busy they were, they handled everything efficiently and made sure everyone was served.

I was in Gainesville for work and my husband brought the whole entire crew up to visit! So of course we had to make a pit stop at Cracker Barrel! We all love the food and atmosphere. The staff are welcoming and amazing! And the food is so delicious! My favorite pecan pancakes keeps my mouth watering. My children love the famous grandpas chicken and gravy! We all enjoyed the iconic rocking chairs in front. I highly recommend!

4.6 Stars, Always a great treat to stop at Cracker Barrel during a roadtrip. Love the biscuits and Gravy, the loaded Hashbrowns are a definite must get. Never leave hungry that’s for sure.

DISORGANIZED CHAOS IN THE KITCHEN: Biscuits were mushy dough inside. Ordered Chicken & Dumplings & my boyfriend ordered the fried fish offered on Fridays. The waitress told us the Chicken & Dumplings would take 40 minutes to prepare. I asked that my boyfriend’s fish also be held up so they would be delivered to the table @ the same time. They went ahead & brought his fish & 25 minutes later brought out Chicken & Dumplings, then I had to wait 10 more minutes on fried okra. The afternoon manager that came on around 3pm strolled by & asked how the food was, & we explained the above & he said “Oh, I hadn’t been informed.” Only thing he offered was to bring more biscuits, however we were finished & were traveling. Awful experience. I’ve been a huge fan of Cracker Barrel since I was a teen. We are retired & travel, however I may never go back to a Cracker Barrel. The problem was not the waitress, but poor management & the kitchen not doing it’s job.
