The waitress was nice, friendly and professional. Had no issues with service. The food was not so good. This was the first time eating here in probably 40 years. Now I know why I stopped. Now I love all the stuff in the store for shopping. They had some really good products for sale. I will go back to shop but not to eat.

The staff were happy, friendly, and quick. What a great experience! Katie was our server, such a sweet gal. And we always have fun in the store when there is a wait. Popular after-church spot.

I was craving some good homemade-style food, so I gave this a try. Had it delivered and it arrived warm, which I appreciated. The turkey was juicy and the gravy hit the spot. The dressing was decent — not bad, just not the best I’ve had. The pinto beans, though, were bland and really needed some seasoning. But those cornbread muffins? Soft, flavorful, and honestly stole the show. They tasted just like something grandma would’ve pulled out of the oven.

Great place very well located, the food in Cracker Barrel. It’s always good. This stuff is friendly, quick and efficient. There is a spacious parking. It’s a good place. If you need to use your laptop since it has Wi-Fi connection and big tables the shops at Cracker Barrel are always filled with interesting seasonal things and themed after holidays are going on great option for buying souvenirs for your family and loved ones if you’re driving around the Tyler area don’t think twice

Our server, Miss Kaylee is the ONLY reason this review has 3 stars in place of zero. She did excellent in absolutely every single way; pertaining to her role and hospitality ! She made us feel very welcome !!
The ATMOSPHERE at this place is truly remarkable; a one of a KIND country dining experience that personally reminds me of Amish country back home in Ohio !!
The food could have been better.
A lot better.
The cornbread muffin bottoms were burnt & I happened to find a sticker (assuming from a prepackaged ingredient either for the sauce of vegetables.)
The on duty manager comped the cost of the entree upon seeing the sticker at the bottom of my plate beneath my Hashbrown Casserole Shepherds pie.
I will be back, hopefully for a 5 star review in the future. These are simple kitchen issues, that I expect to see overcame by our next family outing to the Cracker ™️

The service was phenomenal, linsay was an awesome server. The food however was a different story…
Shrimp and sausage camp fire: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, the seasonings were fantastic and the shrimp was lovely as well as the corn, the potatoes needed seasoning but other than that it was great
Fried chicken breast and dumplings: ⭐⭐ chicken was good breading was crunchy, hard to cut
Chicken and dumplings: ⭐ the dumplings were just soggy dough, the dumplings, the shredded chicken, or even the soup base had not a trace of seasoning and tasted something out of a can and I don’t like to be negative but it was straight up such a disappointing dish
Bacon mac and cheese: ⭐⭐ the pasta and cheese were good, but the bacon was straight burnt, the “crumbs” just did not vibe and for a “premium side” it tasted more like a downgrade from the regular.
Coleslaw: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ no complaints, was really good.
The only reasons that the rating is even 3 rather than 1-2 is because of our server, the coleslaw, and the shrimp and sausage campfire skillet. Nice cracker barrel for gifts, great ones for low prices, but food other than the “spicy” or specified seasoning dishes, not the best for food.

Placed a pick up order. Was missing biscuits which was the reason my son wanted Cracker Barrel and food was absolutely awful. The hashbrown casserole tasted like it was a week old. The steak was tough and cooked to death. Kids pancakes were completely burnt and black.

We had an early dinner here yesterday. The food was excellent but the service even more so! Our waitress name was Vickie M. She was top notch and was the best server we have ever had at this location. The food was hot and brought out in a timely manner. She was super nice and pleasant! I hope her boss sees this review and she gets a bonus for doing such a great job!!! :)) Thanks Vickie M for being so AWESOME!!

Arrived at about 9am. Was greeted and seated promptly. My last visit was about 5 years ago. Our waitress Vickie, promptly took our drink and helped us with recommendations. We were served our drinks and breakfast was served in less than 10 minutes. The meal exceeded our expectations. Jim, our cashier was also courteous and asked if breakfast was good. We will definitely come back again. I highly recommend this business.

What a great Cracker Barrel! The staff was friendly and made us feel welcomed. That always makes for the start of a great meal. Our server took great care of us, we never had to wait for anything. The food was just as expected from Cracker Barrel, plentiful and delicious. We ended up with a nice to go box which we will enjoy later this evening.
