Been to this restaurant a handful of times over the past few years but today’s experience is by far the most disappointing. Wanted to try the new menu item, hash Brown casserole, and believing that we would get the same portion size. My husband ordered the sausage and I ordered the bacon. Much to my surprise, the bacon casserole, it was a much smaller portion than the sausage casserole. I ordered a side of fried apples and I got 3 apples. Our server seemed like she was uninterested at being there that day, and so she phoned it in. Spoke with the manager who was a very nice guy. However, he seemed apathetic about the whole situation. He did state that he would talk to his cooks about portion size and making sure that the food comes out hot and fully cooked.

Was an experience for sure. It did take a few minutes for them to chat with me once seated (18 minutes). Food was good. All good was exceptional except for the chicken fried chicken. It was overcooked and rubbery. I wanted to see what this place was all about. Would love to know what everyones favorite meal here is. I would go back but I would order something else.

This particular location stays insanely busy, especially on the weekends. The staff is really nice and so is management. The problem is inconsistency. Sometimes they will let me substitute things in my meal, sometimes they won’t, sometimes they charge me, sometimes they don’t. I get the same thing every time except my drink. Sometimes my meal is under 10 and sometimes i am charged 13 and up. Again i get the same thing as far as food every time. I come because the bacon is just that delicious and like i said servers and staff are supet nice. I just dislike the inconsistency.

If I could give them 6 stars I would. I meet my mom for lunch and I haven’t been to a Cracker Barrel in several years. There was about a ten minute wait for the table witch I thought was fine. Great thing about Cracker Barrel is the environment both on the patio, in the waiting area and the dinning area. The waiting area is loaded with all kinds of excellent gifts and random things that just about anybody would love. Candles, t-shirts, Post cards, jewelry, keychains, toys, candy, specialty sodas. Just about everything is 25%-70% off witch I think is awesome. I’ll be going back on payday to get several things myself. Then we were shown our table and the service was way over the top. I’ve been to streak houses and fine restaurants that didn’t have this kind of service. My waiter was Zachary. Guy went above and beyond and I had a phenomenal experience. I ordered the NY Strip Steak with loaded Backed potato and broccoli and the Fried Mozzarella cheese bites with ranch. Really really good! They served their buttermilk biscuits and cornbread muffins. With blackberry jam and salted butter. That was really awesome and very tasty. The steak was really phenomenal. The loaded potato surprised my expectations. Bacon strips, not bits. Scoop of sour cream and a scoop of butter. I ate the whole thing, peel and all. Zachary was the kind of cordial and overly attentive and polite that you expected from multi diamond hotel and restaurant staff. I was amazed and very impressed. So much so I had to ask to see the manager. Rair for me to do that with service. Waited less than 2 minutes and I spoke with Little Cindy. Apparently there are two Cindy’s. She was very kind and very encouraging. She said they strive to deliver just such experiences to everyone. I not only believe that, I know it and it shows in every facit of their restaurant. The bill was $50 for two with an appetizer and two drinks. Their tea is also really good. I’m blown away and sold. The area offers Chilies, IHOP, Olive garden and Cracker Barrel. It’s not even a competition in my honest opinion. The other places are not even on the same level in anything, let alone everything. I had the best dinning experience in years for far less than a $100. That’s very rare in my experience. Would absolutely recommend to everybody. I’m definitely going back and soon!

My waitress was wonderful. I had the special of the day – chicken broccoli cheddar. It was amazing! I love shopping at Cracker Barrel. The lady who checked me out was great. I was at the store in Temple, Texas.

I gave this place a 4 star. My husbands usual was not listed. It seems like they changed the menu options which is ok, but he wasnt so much ok with it. Its more of a charge to add what he likes vs what he didn’t want on the menu options. His toast wasn’t bread toast, it was burnt sourdough bread. If you see the toast came out burnt, why bring it out that way? Overall, the atmosphere was nice, our waiter was ok.. a little to over friendly with my husband. I was sitting there with him, but she didn’t seem to acknowledge I was. Tips come from the wife, so if you want a good tip, acknowledge everyone!

I got the campfire beef meal… it was ok, I don’t think it’s worth $16, not much meat in there. I’d say $10 at best. The meat was tender but for $16, id make it at home with the amount of meat I can add in myself

I ordered a burger with okra, they forgot my okra and when I asked about it, I was brought very over cooked french fries and where cold. They forget my husbands biscuits and gravy. I had unsweetened tea and twice they brought me sweet, which ended up having to get a new cup each time. I was rather disappointed in the kitchen itself. Our server on the other hand was great.

Love this place. Stephan was our server, and he was great. It’s VERY busy during lunch on Sunday, but that’s to be expected. Everyone is super friendly, and its just a great family atmosphere. Definitely recommend going. Plus, the store is awesome.
