I had such a wonderful visit to Cracker Barrel! From the moment I walked in, the cozy country atmosphere made me feel right at home. While we waited for another member of our party, we enjoyed fresh coffee and the biscuit beignets—they were such a treat! The staff was welcoming, attentive, and made sure everything was just right throughout our meal. I ordered the turkey meal of the day, and it was absolutely delicious, hot, fresh, and full of flavor, just like good comfort food should be. I especially loved browsing the gift shop afterward; it’s always fun to find unique little treasures to take home. Overall, it was a great experience that left me looking forward to my next visit!

You can enjoy traditional American food done right here. The pancakes are absolutely delicious—fluffy, soft, and full of flavor. The American coffee is always good, and breakfast options like sunny-side-up eggs, steak & ham, and chicken fingers are great choices to start your day. The biscuits and cornbread are delicious, served with butter and jam, and they’re the perfect complement to your coffee.
It’s simple food, but very tasty. Straightforward flavors, well prepared, and always satisfying—perfect when you want something uncomplicated yet delicious.

Huge portions and im loving it for the prices. Today we got a stack of 3 pancakes,3 piecesof bacon, two large pieces of chicken fried chicken with 3 sides, mashed potatoes, green beans, and loaded hash browns casserole, and 2 drinks And 2 take home meals for about $40.00 + . All that was shared amongst 2 adults and 1 child and we still had left overs. Shout out to our server Carlos who went above and BEYOND with his kindness, speed, and upbeat energy.

Always enjoy CB, especially since we don’t have a franchise in our home area. This time I chose the Sampler with two entrees. Huge portions. Usually I think of samplers as smaller portions so you can taste a variety. These must have been full portions. Great leftovers the next day.

One of the only places I will get breakfast from. I am not a big breakfast person, but their strawberry cheesecake pancakes are absolutely amazing. And their hash brown casserole? Even better. My only complaint is that sometimes the service is slow but this location is almost always filled when we visit. Which explains the wait, but that’s what happens when the food is worth it. The prices are also great, not overly pricey and you get a good size portion for what you pay. They also have a gift shop to browse while waiting for a seat or just leaving with a little something for home or your child.

Food came out really good and had a lot more than I thought it’d be! Great portion size for the price! Although my server wasn’t very attentive and kept forgetting to check on the table when we needed drink refills and we were sat without any plates, so when they finally brought out the bread, I had to eat it on a napkin. The food didn’t take too long to come out of the kitchen, so that was nice! Overall, it was a decent experience with great food.

Another great stop at Cracker Barrel. The Thursday Turkey and Dressing Dinner was delicious. It could have been a little hotter but I still gobbled up every bite. The chicken tenders were great. They were out of chipotle honey sauce. The other two sauces did the trick . We had a nice browse around the gift shop and got some clearance Giardelli chocolate for 70 percent off. That was a bonus.

They were out of chicken and dublings and plus the brown gravy was real sweet for my meatloaf. The manager came after about 15 minutes after we order to let us know about the chicken. Plus they were also out of corn bread and told us it would be ready when we got our food, but it did not come then. After we ate and was ready to pay we were then told the corn bread was ready if you wanted to take it home. Is this what we wanted when we went to eat, no not at all. There was not even an offer to change our price on our ticket. I will go to other Cracker Barrels but not this one.

The place lovely inside, really wonderful decorations everywhere you look. I love feel of this place from the moment you walk outside to the moment you get inside.
The sampler food was very tasty, really good portions of food for just 8.99, my eggs were cooked perfectly over medium, my ham and bacon were good, the sausage here had a taste i didn’t quite like. The coffee was hot and flavorful.
My new favorite is Bacon n’ Egg Hashbrown Casserole, I would definitely recommend this one, very filling and delicious.
The staff was friendly and courteous.
Overall an amazing place to bring your family and have breakfast, i wish they made home made salsa, i would come here more often if they did.
