My wife wanted to have cracker barrel for her bday so we went. It was the perfect choice that day. Our waitress Tina was absolutely perfect, 10/10. We asked Tina what she would recommend and she nailed it. Food was perfect, taste was perfect and the service was perfect. Tina even presented my wife with a slice of bday cake and ice cream. Thank you Tina, our perfect visit was made all possible by Tina and would love to have her as our waitress again!!!

This is probably my favorite one close to me. The service is always great and food too. I always like to do a little shopping before & after dining in & there’s always something interesting to look at.

Service at Cracker Barrel’s has gone down significantly. Wait times are way too high and the employees there do not wanna do their job. The say the wait time is 20 minutes and then the employee in charge of sitting people just sat people wherever he pleased and people who were in 4th and 5th were there for 1hr including us. They also decided to close one of the kitchens. Manager had to come out and fix things. Ambience has declined since Cracker Barrel decided to remodel the restaurants to be more modern with white and grey modern. Food order was also wrong, don’t know how hard it can be to get plain right. It was not plain, had everything on it. Also took like 2 hours to get the food. Never again. Dessert was good tho

I find it quite frustrating that you are compelled to wait in line to settle your bill for the meal. I know they want you to shop while the one open register takes forever to ring up food bills and gift items. It’s a bad marketing force browse tactic that is deplorable. While I acknowledge that there is a mobile payment option available by scanning your receipt at your table before leaving, but my experience with Google Pay revealed that there was no option to leave a tip. We attempted to provide a tip at the register, despite our assumption that using the mobile payment would allow us to bypass the register, but the staff member informed us that she was unable to process it and advised us to disregard the tip. This is unacceptable. Bianca C, the waitress deserved a large tip, she was amazing. The food was satisfactory, yet basic condiments should be readily available on all tables. I dislike having to request napkins, ketchup, pepper, salt, jelly, and butter. Although it was a somewhat enjoyable experience, I would prefer not to have crackers served with the next meal. I also wouldn’t have wanted to be there when it is actually busy.

When you go to Cracker Barrel, you know exactly what you’re getting—consistency. They’ve always done a great job of making every location feel the same, and that’s kind of the charm.
This time, we tried their new cinnamon roll skillet. Pro tip: ask for a little bit of butter on top—it took it to the next level. My girlfriend ordered the steak and eggs, and let me tell you, it’s been a long time since a chain restaurant served a steak that good. It was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and you could smell how good it was the moment it hit the table.
I went with something simple—two pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon. Classic and just right.
While we waited, we browsed their store, which was already decked out for Halloween. It was fun checking out all the seasonal stuff, and they always have the best old-school candies that bring back memories.
The restrooms were impressively clean and well-stocked, which is something you don’t always see, but definitely appreciate.
Parking can be a little tough. I’d recommend going either early or later in the day to avoid the rush.

The food is good and the proportions are definitely worth the price tag but it wasn’t anything spectacular. Might come back if I’m wanting a home cooked meal but don’t feel like cooking.

I had a wonderful experience at Cracker Barrel! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was outstanding. I usually go for breakfast but lunch is very delicious as well. with my husband. Everyone was kind, attentive, and professional. I also love the store—I shop there almost every week, and all the associates are always welcoming, professional, and very helpful. This is definitely a place I highly recommend, and I look forward to visiting again.

Food was delicious as always. However, I strongly recommend for leadership in this location to train staff on managing traffic a more efficient way. My table was skipped , 2 people cut in front of my family and then after we were seated our food took 30-45 minutes for it to be served. Our server was great. However the people upfront , a manager needs to be present to help ensure that the customer morale is managed at a high level with a single line awaiting for customers to be seated, and the staff upfront should be able to maintain an positive attitude with high energy. There was no sense of urgency and the apology we received from the staff was insincere. I understand this line of business can be frustrating for the restaurant collectively, however, leadership needs to ensure staff, merchandise, and the environment operates at a high level. Every time i’ve been here, everything is great however traffic time — there’s room for opportunity in these areas.
