I like the country store feel of Cracker Barrel restaurants. We have eaten at quite a few of them on our month long journey driving from Pennsylvania to Texas and back again. It has given us a chance to compare the different locations. It has also given us a chance to pick up on some patterns.
It feels like Cracker Barrel is in a major cost-cutting mode. The coffee was always good at Cracker Barrel. However, it really seems like they are watering it down to make a pound of coffee grounds go further. Our experience at this location (we gave up on expecting good coffees we tried apple juice. Again, their juices used to be really good. Now? Not so much. Again, it seemed like the apple juice is watered down. The grits seem much more thin (watered down?) I don’t know, just not the same as they used to be.
Maybe Cracker Barrel is having an identity crisis. Are you a home cooked meal restaurant with lots of comfort food or are you a country store?
I would prefer to get rid of the overhead of all of the antiques and store front and go back to making hot fresh meals with pride.
Or, if the store front is where you are making your money, then have a small menue of quality food or even no food. Just be a real cool country store.
Our waitress was really good but she can’t make up for poor quality food

Authentic hospitality. Food was cooked to perfection and the flavor was out of this world delicious! To the cooks, I salute you! Unfortunately, they were all sold out of hush puppies, which was rather disappointing; in the grand scheme of all things food, wasn’t really a big deal, but it’s the only fried food I allow into my diet. However, Mia and Desiree went above and beyond to make sure that my dining experience met the CB standard for good home hospitality and made sure that I not only felt comfortable and satisfied, but also invited and welcomed back. All in all, Mia has done an outstanding job upholding and displaying each and every value CB was founded on. Thanks again, Mia and team, for the wonderful experience. Sincerely MeanMuggerTrucker

The food was served hot, fresh, and prepared with great attention to quality and flavor. Each item met expectations in both taste and temperature. In addition, the service was equally commendable. The staff was courteous, attentive, and ensured that our dining experience was pleasant. Overall, both the food and service contributed to a positive experience.

We visited Cracker Barrel twice during our vacation in West Monroe. We came back because of the great people and food. Both times we were blessed with the kindness and conversation with the workers. Quinton, Leo, Andrew and Audrey were the workers we met during our time dining in. Each one was friendly and created a welcoming atmosphere. If you are stopping in West Monroe I would recommend coming by the Cracker Barrel here.

I love this restaurant so much and I’m so glad they’re not changing it. However I wish they would bring the hash brown tots back, they were so delicious. I usually get breakfast when I go in. I get the Mama’s pancake breakfast I believe. I love that the pancakes are crunchy around the edges which I learned that they were hoe cakes and not buttermilk pancakes, which means they are made with cornmeal. Interesting. Are overall experience was great. We had good service, good food, and great atmosphere.

The worst Cracker Barrel experience ever besides the pancakes and lemonade. First of all, we waited about 10 minutes before we got seated and then another 10 minutes before the waitress came to take our drink order. She said she was trying to find out what they were out of yet she took the lady order that came in behind us. But she still could’ve came to take our drink order at least. The food came out quick but my hash brown casserole was cold, dry and did not taste good. I never liked their sausage Pattie’s and my husband ham had a terrible smell to it. Also, the grits were too thick. The restroom had no paper towels and the restaurant looked dirty for a Monday, not packed and employees just standing around. The manager (I guess he was the manager) saw I did not like my hash brown casserole and brought me some regular hash browns with cheese that was burnt. Please note this is the same thing I’ve ordered from Cracker Barrel’s in the past but I’ve never been this disappointed. At least the pancakes, bacon and eggs were delicious.

Road trip.. Omg Monica the waitress was amazing. She was very attentive “assiduously attending to the comfort or wishes of others, very polite and courteous, considerate, thoughtful, kind, caring, solicitous, understanding, accommodating, well mannered, respectful, responsible in every aspect.” Definitely ask for her. Location was clean, even the restroom. Everyone was super nice and professional. The food was good also had good presentation. I didn’t care for the biscuits but they were not bad. By far this Cracker Barrel has been the best over all that I have been to. I would definitely return to this location. Good job

We came with a large group of disaster response workers, and despite having 20+ orders to handle, the staff was attentive and diligent to make sure we all received great service and a positive experience. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was relaxing and homey.

3.8 rating for CB. Service was OK, seemed to get overwhelmed all at once, and we were not offered a refill on drinks. Luckily, we were not in need.
Breakfast, steak, and eggs were excellent and cooked perfect to order. Hasbrown casserole loaded was good along with the grits. Little more grisly on steak than I liked, but for the price, it was great. Biscuits, hands down the best around town. The 2nd plate, the eggs, was scrambled too long and dried out, and bacon was crispy and good along with the biscuits and gravy.
