Wonderful experience, excellent service and the food is delicious as well.
It has a classic vive and feel, but it’s very pleasant and comfortable environment. Really enjoyed it with my family.

This restaurant needs to improve its customer service processes. For example, on my recent visit, the waiter forgot to bring me the sides, hot sauce, and napkins. I had to interrupt my meal to go get them, so the manager and staff need to pay more attention to these details. The world doesn’t revolve around me, nor does any restaurant, but if someone is going to have this type of business, they must ensure they take care of their internal processes to provide quality service promptly and with care to all their customers equally.

Eh. Haven’t been here in yearrrrsssss but this was mom’s easter pick. It was a bit of a let down. First I wish they would revamp the checkout experience. People stood in line but the way they created the line made no sense and apparently there should’ve been two lines because the 2nd cashier was letting people walk up to her even though others had created a line near the other lady and had been waiting longer. It just made no sense. They should reconsider this process. Maybe shift the cash registers to a different part of the store and put up a belt stanchion. And no I had no idea what they were called but I googled it just for this review so now we all know. Ha! Anyway on to the service and the food. The hostess didn’t give us utensils. I had to go searching for them and finally saw they were at the hostess stand. The waitress took our order. When the meatloaf and beans came out , the guy that brought the food said he still owed her a baked potato. Well because she wanted to eat it all together she decided to wait on it. unfortunately her food sat and sat and was getting cold. Our waitress finally stopped by and said who brought you that? Lol and my mother was like. I don’t know some guy but he hasn’t come back with my potato so now my food is getting cold. She asked the waitress why he would bring out a partial plate and the waitress just apologized and said she would go check on the potato. I was still on my appetizer which was the biscuit beignets. They’re supposed to come with a butter pecan sauce but oddly it tasted as if the container they put it in once had barbecue sauce in it and they didn’t clean it out first before pouring the butter pecansauce in. I didn’t say anything after the first couple of strange bites. My mother eventually decided to try one and she said why does that taste kind of spicy? I said to me it tastes like theres barbecue sauce in it and she tasted again and she said yeah that’s exactly what it taste like. How odd! I decided not to ask to have it replaced. The waitress circled back and told me tickets were running about 30-45. I set a timer just to keep track. Thankfully it came out before then. Probably like 25min. I got the oreo cheesecake pancakes. They were very good. Tastes just like it sounds. I was happy it wasn’t overly sweet. I had yet to take a bite but ended up calling the waitress over to ask for WARM syrup and i guess she thought I was complaining about the temperature of the pancakes because she said I just saw them pull that off the grill and I said okay that’s fine but I still want warm syrup and the waitress said it wasn’t served with syrup because it’s already sweet … well I want syrup anyway. When she walked off I took my first bite of the pancake and there’s no way that just came off the grill unless whatever the cheesecake filling they use is cold and maybe that cooled the pancake off. I took off a piece of the pancake and handed it to my mother and even just from the touch of her fingers she could tell there’s no way that that just came off the grill. I also got a to go order of the tenders and fries for later. They were ok. Nothing special. The Comeback sauce taste more like something that should be served with fried catfish instead of chicken tenders. The bacon mac n cheese was decent. Mom didn’t like the taste of the meatloaf. I tasted it and didn’t like it either. Very lacking. Also didn’t help that it had gotten cold. She was too afraid to ask for it to be reheated or a new one made because people are petty. She didn’t wanna take the risk of it being brought back out with sweat slathered on it or someones spit stirred in the beans. I wanted to talk to the manager but she told me to just let it go.

Straight after landing at the airport we headed to cracker barrel (for the first time). Our server was so friendly and she made us feel really welcome and made us laugh.
Her recommendations were great, she kept our drinks topped up and made it a great first visit.
The food was so delicious. We had the season Fried apple french toast bake with the additional sausage. It was so sweet (didn’t need extra syrup) but such a nice treat.
The breakfast plate was brilliant but the biscuits and gravy were out of this world. Warm fluffy and the rich gravy was a perfect accompaniment.
Get extra hash browns. They are the best I’ve ever had.

We had a group of 14 and they did their best to seat all of us. We wound up in 3 separate tables, but we were near each other.
Our table ordered the Maple Bacon Grilled Chicken, Grilled Rainbow Trout, Grilled Catfish, and Kids Mini Confetti Pancakes. The food turned out really good, but the service was even better. Our waitress was super-friendly and checked in with us enough but not too much.
It was a great experience overall. The store is nice too.

Another amazing experience at a Cracker Barrel location. The food was just delicious and superb, the service was quick, friendly and polite. There was no wait time which was awesome. The atmosphere was great, comfortable and just great.
Love going to have dinner and relaxing with a great cool atmosphere.
I had the fried chicken meal and my husband had the burger meal and both were just superb.
Definitely recommend a visit to Cracker Barrel Old Country Store.

Oh, where should I even start. Took a family of 4 here for an early dinner. The restaurant only has 3 tables with customers. Ordered our drink, btw they were out of coke. We all placed our orders. When the food came out, some of our meals were missing the sides that we ordered. We told the waiter, and he returned to the kitchen to get them. Came back out after 10 minutes to say they were out of mashed potatoes and out of ranch. Umm ok I guess. That was basically half our meal we wouldn’t have ordered if we had known they were missing half of it. I’m pretty sure our waiter sent over the manager because he knew we were not happy. Poor guy that was our server didn’t know what to do about being out of everything. He was nice.
My grilled chicken tenders meal was so dry and seemed as if it was microwaved. Never had such a dry piece of chicken. The manager said they were working on getting things. He took one meal off our bill.
Would have been nice to be offered a napkin for our meal. Like who doesn’t give a single napkin to people eating? Never removed our old empty cups off the table. With 4 people each having 2 drinks each the table was getting small. Would have been nice to have the old taken off.
Started talking to the table next to us, and they said they had to send their meals back 3 times.
Decided to use the bathroom. That was a mistake. Pee all over all the toilets, no toilet paper in any bathrooms. Told the manager the bathrooms were horrible he said he was only concerned about our table. This restaurant definitely dropped the ball. Not up to cracker barrel standards.

THANK YOU, LESHA!! You definitely turned it around for us! We were seated right away without wait. That was great. I’m not sure if we were your assigned table, but we did notice that our drink order was to be taken by a different waitress who skipped us (and, ironically, other minority guests). We had been waiting nearly 7 minutes and change already…(Yes, I timed it). We were about to walk out given that drink orders should be taken with 5 minutes of guests being seated, if not immediately like others were done around us. However, you came up and asked if our drink order had been taken, and it was obvious you realized the same thing we did, and you went on to provide phenomenal qualitative service! Your friendly demeanor and attentiveness were welcomed and definitely noticed. (My steak was cooked medium well, although I asked for medium, but that’s not your fault… you didn’t cook it. ). Keep smiling, stay kind, and be blessed!

This place is super busy, so get here early if you are planning to eat at this location. The food quality is good, the servers are busy so make sure you know what to order. There are a lot of great options on the menu to choose from, so come hungry.
