Stopped by for breakfast and overall enjoyed the food. We ordered the Old Timer’s Breakfast, Strawberry-Stuffed Cheesecake Pancakes, Momma’s French Toast Breakfast, and the Cinnamon Swirl French Toast
The Old Timer’s Breakfast was classic and comforting, just what you expect from Cracker Barrel. The Strawberry-Stuffed Cheesecake Pancakes were sweet without being too much, and the strawberry filling was really good. Momma’s French Toast was soft and fluffy, and the Cinnamon Swirl French Toast had a nice cinnamon flavor that stood out
Portions were generous, the food came out hot, and the staff was friendly. The only downside was that some of the silverware didn’t seem very clean, which was a bit disappointing. Aside from that, the overall experience was still good, and it’s a nice spot for a relaxed breakfast.

Visiting this restaurant for brunch on a Thursday morning, we cautioned the server that we liked our scrambled eggs well blended, and with no egg white showing. We have always had an issue with this at Cracker Barrel, try as we may to get them well mixed. Our server, Summer, upon hearing this stated “I will go back and mix them myself”. When the eggs were served a few minutes later, they were absolutely perfect! This was a tremendous effort, and the kind of service that makes us loyal Cracker Barrel customers, even when things aren’t perfect. This gesture, along with great food and care we received from Summer made it a very enjoyable experience. Also, I have to say that we always enjoy the perfectly curated gift shop, hoping you don’t change a thing on this. Great place to do some Christmas shopping!

The ‘hostess’ Jocelynn kept people waiting for quite a long time while the restaurant was almost empty. (There was a long line.) Every employee in the restaurant was smiling and happy to be there, except her.
Our server (I think his name was Darrius) was the best we’ve had anywhere in quite some time. Very attentive, smiling, and knew the menu very well. Gave excellent recommendations!
The atmosphere was COLD, the ceiling fans were on high. The table behind us were all sitting with their coats on eating and commenting on how cold it was in there.
The food was excellent!!

I had an outstanding experience thanks to our waiter Robert. From the moment we were seated, he was attentive, friendly, and professional. We anticipated our needs without being intrusive, offered great recommendations, and ensured everything was perfect throughout the meal. The timing of the courses was spot-on, and he checked in just enough to make sure we were comfortable. His warm attitude and genuine care made the dining experience exceptional. Highly recommend asking for Robert on your visit!!!!!!

Unfortunately the minimum rating is 1 star because that is a generous rating for this restaurant. I placed an online pickup order at 5:50ish with a pickup time of 6:15. I arrived at the store at 6:15, and they told me my order was not ready.
30 MINUTES LATER, a guy walks from the kitchen with a to go order and announces a pickup order for my name was ready. I told him that was mine, he apologized and then sat it down behind the counter instead of handing it to me. When I went to retrieve the food, the cashier told me I was not allowed back there/someone would have to come hand me the food.
After a quick drive home, my family and I discovered the food was cold and we were missing part of our order. Why was any of the food cold if I had to wait for it 30 minutes past my quoted pick up time???

This is my second time ordering from this location. The first time was a reck. I didn’t have silverware, items were missing and m condiments were in the same container as my food. Now this time around my order was suppose to be blueberry pancakes which I have no blueberries, double order of bacon received a single order or bacon with chicken sausage but I received silverware because I ordered it (don’t worry it was free). I wouldn’t order to go here again maybe try dine in.

Alexis was EXCEPTIONAL! We ordered the Grandmother breakfast with pancakes which were delish as we’re the variety of meats. However, the signature Hashbrown Casserole was still crunchy! Alexis asked if I wanted something else instead but I had put my eggs on top of the casserole because they were runny and I don’t like to waste food! Disappointed and surprised!

Homestyle chicken was soggy and premade under a heat lamp. Hash brown casserole was dry and barely got a portion of fried okra. Won’t be back to that location.

Love dining at Cracker Barrel! We enjoyed breakfast after parking overnight in our RV. Thank you for letting RVs spend the night at your place. Our breakfast was good, we usually split a Country Boy, but today we had the French Toast. Our server was great, the food was brought out fast and our coffee was topped up often. A great breakfast place as well as lunch and dinner.
