It’s gone down hill since Amanda McConaha left. The strawberry pancakes had no strawberries. We waited about 20 minutes to see our server. My cousins waited so long on their server that they left. We never got napkins. We never got water refills. We were surrounded by dirty tables. They were their normal busy and couldn’t handle it and give a decent experience.

⭐☆☆☆☆ — Extremely Disappointing Experience
On December 28, 2025, I had a very disappointing experience at Cracker Barrel that will ensure I do not return.
I ordered chicken fried chicken, but when the food arrived it looked and tasted noticeably different than expected. I politely asked our waitress if the recipe had changed, as something seemed off. She stated that the recipe had changed like other items on the menu and said she would bring the manager over.
When the manager, Phylicia Johnson , arrived, her demeanor was immediately dismissive and rude. Instead of asking questions or trying to understand the concern, she approached us with an attitude and asked, “Who had a problem with the food?” After we explained, she abruptly stated that nothing had changed and that it had “always been like this.”
We calmly said that maybe it was the flour or seasoning and that something just didn’t sit well with us and to be clear, we did NOT ask for the food to be remade, replaced, or comped. We were simply asking a question.
At that point, Phylicia Johnson began pointing at the food, repeatedly saying, “You see that it’s chicken fried chicken, and that is chicken fried chicken,” in a condescending manner. She then walked over to the waitress and told her that nothing had changed. The waitress, who was a very sweet and caring woman, responded by saying, “I am very sorry about that.”
The manager’s behavior made us feel talked down to, like little children, and completely unworthy of her time. The interaction was unprofessional, uncomfortable, and unnecessary.
This situation could have been handled with honesty and basic courtesy, but instead it escalated due to poor management behavior. Cracker Barrel is known for hospitality, and this experience reflected the complete opposite.

Hi, party of 3 here. We were sat at our table at (5:25p) I can’t rate the food as we never received it. We were there 14 minutes before we were acknowledged. Then once she took our drink order, it took another 9 minutes for her to bring them out, water, sweet tea and Coke Zero. I tried to give grace simply because I have been a server in the past. I can usually tell when someone is new. Once she brought our drink order out, she took our food order. We ordered a hushpuppy shareable. It was brought out about 14 minutes later, without the comeback sauce that was advertised, they were “out”. We weren’t told this when we ordered. At 6:23 she brought out my 9 year old “sliders”. The buns were burnt and the burger wasn’t even acceptable enough to feed to my dog. OUR server brought the plate out and then said “I went ahead and brought these out because “they” were just letting it sit under the lamps”. At this point I asked to speak to the manager as we had still not received our adult entrees. I ordered the southern salmon with turnip greens, broccoli and baby carrots and my husband ordered a steak cooked medium, as they under cook every steak they make, turnip greens, Mac & cheese and coleslaw. The manager sent the server back to my table to ask what the problem was and when I gave her my daughters plate back because of the quality of the food, she took it back to the kitchen and PROMPTLY returned with our entire tray of food and offered it to us free of charge with to-go boxes. 5 servers & who i am assuming was the manager came to the kitchen entrance to watch the order being delivered. The “manager” threw her hands up in the air when we politely declined the food and left. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

I love this location! Wait time is not long and the service there is really great! My favorite for breakfast. We ordered the mozzarella bites as an appetizer, the mama pancakes, cheesecake pancakes, and the server kept our drinks filled. We left very full and satisfied and the pricing is very reasonable. We will be returning & recommend this Cracker Barrel

Me and my Mom had lunch here on 5/19/2025. I usually like Cracker Barrel, but this time, the food was not great. The sweet tea was on the verge of being spoiled. The turnip greens were also not good. My mom got a new Cajun shrimp dish with a sauce that was too thin…it was almost like water. The waitress was good and the atmosphere was good. The store, like always, has some cute items.

My family and I visit at least once a month, and we always have a great experience. On our last trip, I tried the seasonal Campfire Beef—it was absolutely delicious. My wife ordered the blueberry pancakes, which never disappoint. The food is consistently great, and the service is always friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!

The food had absolutely no flavor, the french toast tasted like salty stove top dressing, the sausage patties tasted like burnt ham, the biscuits were dry and was like out of a package, and the gravy was flavorless. Waitress was kind but didn’t offer any kind of assistance to make food right or give a discount or anything. I had a $60 bill. I have ate at other locations and were excellent not this one.

Columbus,MS. Cracker Barrel is undoubtedly the best run restaurant that we have ever dined in. This manager has her finger on the pulse of every aspect of this location. Her staff is spot on and follow her lead to perfection. Corporate should take a hard look at getting this manager in upper level management quickly. This location just amazes us. Out of 25 years of dining out it’s really nice to walk into a restaurant that’s run to perfection.

I’m extremely upset with my experience from 2/15/26 at the Columbus, MS location. I had a similar disappointing experience (same location) a few months ago, so after this happened again and was worse, I’m voicing my concerns.
My experience yesterday was a disaster from start to finish. First, I placed an order with nowhere to indicate to remove ice from my drink, so the chat said to contact the store. I did only to be told they don’t see my order and help. I contacted chat again (also not a good experience), and chat confirmed my order sending me back to the store. I waited 5 minutes and called the store again only to be told they still don’t have my order and don’t know how long it takes for them to see. Waited a few more minutes, now almost 10 minutes from placing order and I called the store and asked for a manager. The manager said they see it immediately so she’s not sure where the order is, but then a few seconds later she miraculously sees it as pending. I told her not to put ice in drink and she said we’ll make sure not to include ice.
My order was due at 4:30, so at 4:45 it’s still not there and I called the store. They said it was picked up but couldn’t tell me how long ago. I’m literally right behind the restaurant in a hotel so it should not take but 2 minutes to deliver. So again no help. Finally after being 20 minutes late, the driver arrived.
Not only was my order late, had issues with order being visible at the store, restaurant absolutely no help, now I get my order and have several issues.
My drink is wrong and was a regular lemonade which is not what I ordered. It had ice so I can’t drink it with sensitive teeth. I specifically called to request no ice and was told they’d make sure or didn’t have ice.
I ordered two extra dressing for salad and extra jelly for biscuits and extra silverware. I have neither.
My macaroni is runny and chicken is not the regular chicken. It looks like a chicken patty
This entire order was useless to me and I had to order something else and pay another delivery fee. Very unacceptable.
The chat tries to give me a $20 compensation card for future visit. Absolutely NOT! After having two bad experiences and this was the worst, I’d NEVER visit Cracker Barrel to be disappointed again. I requested a full refund of $34.18 and expect to receive it in the next few days or this matter will be escalated further.
This store needs to have an intervention because this is horrible to be visiting and each time have bad experience.

Upon entering this specific location I was welcomed with lots of greeting from the workers in the gift shop. And were quickly seated with drinks within 10min. Also the server was very patient as me and my grandmother waited on the rest of our party to come. Once our party arrived they were seated with drinks and then we placed our order and was able to have a good conversation before our food came out. While stuffing our face the waiter made sure to come around and ask if we needed anything such as refills or any Condiment that weren’t on the table prior. The food was great I would definitely be visiting every time I’m in the area.
