Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

I love this location and will be sad when we move to Cornelius. They are always so friendly and hospitable, just like you’re walking into their own home. Even when I have a major blonde moment and spill my sweet tea all over the place, they still smile and laugh. The chicken and dumplings are beyond amazing and are the perfect cure for a cold winter night!

Came here for breakfast a couple of days ago. I got the Cracker Barrel Country Boy Breakfast w Sirloin Steak, eggs, grits, apples, and biscuit and gravy. The steak was rough didn’t really taste amazing but it wasn’t disgusting but it’s only 10 bucks so I’m not asking for the worlds finest steak. I asked for scramble Eggs and it didn’t really looked scrambled at all. Just look like they cracked 3 eggs put it in like a rectangle in a pan and just slapped it on my plate (kinda like what McDonald’s do to you). The grits was pretty good wish I had more of it though lol and the apples were amazing! Biscuits weren’t like the best in the world (not one of those restaurants you go to and be like ohhh there rolls/​biscuits were killer) And the gravy wasn’t very warm when we first got it and it honestly looked and tasted like something I could cook myself (and that’s sad because I am not a great cook at all lol) The service was good. Our waiter greeted us as soon as we seated and took our drinks, but it was a few times when my drink were left empty unusually long.
Overall, They gave you plenty of food for 10 bucks I was stuffed when I left and people have told me that they are known for there blueberry pancakes so I may try here one more time and get that and if its not amazing I probably wouldn’t come here again.

Happy Thanksgiving! First it’s great that the restaurant is open on Thanksgiving. But when I have to wait 20 minutes AFTER I paid for my to go order (that I called in) just to be acknowledged about my order there is a problem. Note that I still didn’t get my correct order until 30 minutes AFTER I paid for my meal.
Initially, they forgot about me and the person who was in line before me. Well the lady came and asked the guy’s name and then went to the kitchen to find his order. Then it’s my turn… and I had to wait even longer because they didn’t know what I ordered. I showed the waiter my receipt and she brings out a pie only. I looked in my bag before I left the store. Where the heck is my food? So then I go stand by the kitchen and give them my receipt along with the bag letting them know they forgot my meal. I just stood there at the kitchen and finally they got my order right. Seriously?!

I come here for breakfast often. If they are very busy, I never have to wait long. I have always received excellent service. (Shavonne is the best of the best.) The food is always good, and hot, and I never have to wait to long.

I’ve been to many cracker barrels and often enjoy the fact that they serve breakfast all day. We recently went on a Sunday. We anticipated a wait (which there was) and walked around the cramped store for about 35 minutes until our name was called.
Our waitress was nice and was quick to greet us and take our order. My main hang up is the quality of the food. My hashbrown casserole was room temperature and I only got one piece of bacon. I asked our waitress about this and she apologized, saying I should’ve received three pieces. She then brought out the other two pieces but, I mean, how did my plate (with ONE piece of bacon) even make it to the table?
In the past, my trips to this location have been hit or miss. This trip was underwhelming, to say the least. I like Cracker Barrel, but this location is (in my opinion) lacking.

Typically love this place. I have been coming here for 10 years. Probably two times a week. Just recently on our last two visits we noticed a terrible taste in their water. The ice tea is obviously uses the same water source. It tastes like «lake water». My daughter first noticed it, then me. My husband thought we were nuts. Then he tasted it. None of us could drink our water or ice tea. I reported it to the manager, and he said he would check the filtration system. We came back tonight, about a week later and you can still taste it in the water and tea.

Went late morning of 8−18−15. Waitress took my order which was very simple but brought me the exact wrong thing I wanted. She apologized but did nothing to rectify her mistake.
Then as I went to pay the bill. The cashier was too busy being on a personal call and communicated with me using a series of annoyed hand gestures. Yeah real professional.
The whole place just had a bad vibe after that. Probably won’t be back.

Can’t go wrong eating here for breakfast. Everything is good and the people watching is entertaining. It’s always loud but that’s expected.

I am a Cracker Barrel fanatic. As busy as they were on a Saturday it only took about twenty five mins to sit us. $ 7.99 for a huge sampler breakfast. How could you go wrong. And the country store, don’t get me started. I love everything about that store!!! They sell the cutest things ever

Cracker Barrel :
Old Country Store
I really didn’t knw what 2 expect wen I was asked 2 go there 4 Brkfts. Once I drove into the Parkin lot, it looked like FUN. I read «Old Country Store» on the sign and started there 1^st. I purchased a Big Checker Board Game 4 my grandkids back home on Maui. I also found some Old Skool candies ! What a treat.
Then the Breakfast came out. WOW ! What a Feast. Everything was so Good and Tasty. Ck out the pic. Mahalo Susie Q

It’s a Cracker Barrel. Not much more to expect. Decent service and food. Was very busy today when we went on a Saturday afternoon. Expected as usual.

Quite simple great service great food.
We thoroughly enjoyed our meal very affordable prices excellent customer service very attentive everything came out proper temperature great portion sizes we were satiated and it was good quality time

The place was real busy and in cattle herding mode. Refills were slow and they were out of a few sides. Good for breakfast but never great when they are on a wait.

Lunch 1−2pm
Very clean, but getting harder to get to restaurant due to all the merchandise for sale.
Hostess greeted me immediately.
Very slow service today, took over 8 minutes for a server to come to the table (after 3 had previously walked by, I know you see me sitting here). No apologies offered, stale face, took order. Drink delivery was over my shoulder. Food delivery: dropped on table, person too busy trying to get customers in her section to focus on me. Never asked if order was correct, need anything else. Food: was hot and good. Oh here is my server, drink poured and left, no questions asked. Did my server go above and beyond today? NO. (and you know what that mean)
FYI, new menus mean higher prices on some selections!

It’s everything you’d expect from a Cracker Barrel. The service at this location is on point. A good place to meet for a simple breakfast. Just not on a Saturday or Sunday morning unless you’re prepared to wait. Outside of breakfast, I’m not impressed. I’ll hit up CB on the occasional road trip but otherwise I don’t see this as a regular stop for me until I’m at least 65. Even then, I hope to have broader horizons with so much time on my hands.

Blueberry pancake… 5 stars! Use of real butter and (mostly) maple syrup = excellent!
Everything else is a one star or less. While it’s cheap and fast, and the service is very (surprisingly) friendly, the food is really average or below. In my mind, there is only one reason to go here: pancakes. I actually don’t like pancakes anywhere else, but here they have a crispy outside edge that is just amazing. Couple that with real butter and real maple syrup, and I’m in heaven.
Don’t even try to come on a Saturday or Sunday breakfast or lunch unless you want to wait over an hour. But those delicious pancakes are available anytime of the day, so hit them up on an off time or for dinner and you’ll slide right in.

GreAt food, nice people, but watch your silverware, might be dirty. Strawberry iced tea is great.

I do love Cracker Barrel’s biscuits and gravy with bacon. Not only is it good, but it’s also cheap. There was a line on 12pm on a Saturday, but my friend and I didn’t wait long. Long enough to walk around and peruse the store.
We were seated at a table right next to the hostess booth. Not ideal, but people tried not bumping into us. Like I said the place was packed, so we didn’t really have much of a choice. Marilyn was our waitress. She was nice and quick. After we ordered it only took about 10 minutes to get our food. I ordered my usual, which was actually better than it normally is. Score for me! My friend ordered the «vegetable» plate. I put that in quotes because you can order mac and cheese, fried okra, and other sort of vegetables but not really vegetables.
In the end, my bill came out to $ 5.02. Not shabby for an awesome brunch.

This is one of my favorite breakfast places. It’s simple and delicious! They have the best turkey sausage that I’ve ever tasted. It’s so good that I question wether it’s really a healthy alternative.
I also love their pancakes. They are fluffy, buttery and they have little crispy edges that provide a great contrast to the soft, warm pancake. They taste like something you’d get when visiting grandma’s house. They seem so simple, yet you know you couldn’t recreate it at home.
I also love their biscuits, but I only eat one bread item per sitting and I usually opt for the pancakes.
Finally, I actually enjoy browsing the nic knacks in the front of the store while I wait for my table. Am I the only one who has to fight the urge to purchase those huge candy bars? I mean they are gigantic! One day I’m gonna break down and buy the 2lb Reese peanut butter cups and a cream soda!

2.5 stars.
First meal in Charlotte, straight from CLT’s Douglas Airport. This location is my BIL’s fave location. Replete w/​Cracker Barrel’s large dining room capacity, its signature shop filled w/​old-​time memorabilia and wrapped candies, goat’s milk lotions and car scents, and a large selection of rocking chairs for sale in the front, this Cracker Barrel does stand out as having better customer service than what I’ve experienced elsewhere. (We used to visit CBs on childhood road trips, but I could probably count on one hand the number of visits I’ve made in the past decade or two.)
Mom and I shared the Country Boy Breakfast (well, she had the eggs, a little slice of the steak, and some of the biscuits and hash brown casserole. I tried to enjoy the rest, but the only item I appreciated was the dish of fried apples. While the steak was flavorful (it was actually over-​seasoned– this dish haunted me all day!), I didn’t enjoy its processed texture, which came across to me as a chopped steak and not a nice piece of USDA choice. The casserole was gummy, thus inedible, and the biscuits were dry, dry, dry. I overcame my wariness to try the fried apples (which glistened from the cornstarch that thickened the sauce) just so that I could consume a part of a dry biscuit. Ironic, then that out of the entire entrée ensemble, all I can recommend are the apples. (I believe Mom enjoyed the eggs…)
I did get to try my BIL’s French toast special, which is your traditional French toast, but w/​more cheesecake frosting and maple-​syrup goodness. I found its sweetness a little cloying in the end, but I’d take this over the disaster that was the Country Boy.
