Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

We went there twice because it was close to our hotel. I urge you to go somewhere else.
The first time we went we had such a bad waitress that we had to ask for a new one. She was quite lazy and did not want to give us silverware or our water. She slammed the waters down in front of me and told me to pass them to everybody.
Our second waitress was awesome that’s the only reason this place gets three stars.
We ended up getting two meals free, and all her desserts for free. The reason for this is they ran out of our meal but didn’t tell us until all the other meals were ready. So we had to wait an extra 15 minutes after everyone have their food.
The food was quite good. But upon returning two nights later for dinner. Most of us got the exact same food, But it was very subpar. Mine was overcooked and dry. My husband’s fish that was phenomenal tonight earlier was just not very tasty. He said it was mediocre. My mother who really liked her chicken BLT the first time we were there really did not like it the second time.
The second waitress was OK. We figure that Cracker Barrel must not train their waitresses very good though. She never cleaned off our table unless we ask her to take a plate. She just kept piling new plates on. And yes they forgot or silverware the second night as well.

The location is good. We usually have to wait when we come in which is okay because they have the little store in the front. The service is okay but not great. It is usually really loud and the floors aren’t very clean. The food is good. We usually order breakfast. The french toast is awesome. Their dinner is okay. I always order chicken with fried okra and it is good.

This location is just like every location, but the staff stand above the rest! I always have a wonderful service here! No matter if they are slammed busy or slow during off hours the service is always wonderful and attentive.

Always love Crackle Barrel. This location has super slow staff, though, and we are constantly trying to get refills, our food isn’t always correct, but I think it’s just the area? Food & prices are great!

First of all, we LOVE Cracker Barrel. We travel (drive) to Texas and Alabama/​Florida, more than I care to admit, and we have two picky kiddos who actually really enjoy the CB experience. On long road trips, I welcome the opportunities to stop, get out/​stretch our legs, walk around/​browse the old-​time goods, and sit down for what has been a reliably quick, edible «home-​cooked» meal, and a really pleasant dining and shopping experience that everyone in my family can enjoy.
Disclaimer: I’m not sure if the quality of food at all Cracker Barrel’s across America is on a major decline, or if it’s just at this particular location. However, we’ve basically sent food back every time we’ve dined here. Examples: Watered-​down, tasteless (old, like it’s been sitting out all day, and water was added to «revive» the gravy) chicken and dumplings; old, strange-​tasting mashed potatoes with crusty-​old bits of? mixed in; overcooked (dried out, like it’s been sitting under a heat lamp all day), metallic-​tasting, fried catfish; or questionable (did they change the gravy/​sauce?), tough, dried-​out beef pot roast. Needless to say, we won’t be returning — my stomach turns just thinking about it.
Why 2 stars? Absolutely AWESOME customer service every single time we visit. Incredibly helpful, energetic, empathetic servers and hostesses, love the shop staff, and we love to browse the shop/​goods.
I’m very disappointed, but this just gives me motivation to seek out and try more local diners and restaurants. ;-)

After being disappointed about Apple dumplings not being offered over the holiday season, I was excited to see them offered on the menu again. After my meal was over, I was informed that even though things are back on the menu, this restaurant does not have them yet. Obviously not prepared.

Met some friends for a Christmas breakfast and decided to try some of their famous pancakes. Got the blueberry special. 3 large pancakes swimming in butter with a side of sausage and a jar of blueberry syrup. Everything was hot, fresh and delicious. Our server was the best one we’ve ever had there. Great food, atmosphere and service. A very good place to stop when you are hungry or even when you’re not. They have a very nice gift shop as well.

Dirty plates and awful service! Stupid manager. Ordered pancakes and about half way thru there was lettuce stuck under my food!!! That’s enough for this girl.

Oct 29, 2015: For 2^nd visit in a row, they got it right half the time. Again, the pancakes, bacon, eggs were perfection. One would normally like coffee with their breakfast, but we know from experience to either bring our own coffee or get their better ice tea. Again, the daily special was barely edible – turkey tasted like reconstituted wood, the dressing and gravy were not so great, the fried okra was not freshly fried crisp. The biscuits were excellent. Service was pretty good, considering they were so busy at noontime. The head chef needs to sample-​taste what they’re serving, check dates cooked, & suspend daily specials until they can get it right.

Cracker Barrel. Cracker Barrel. What to say about you? I’m not a big fan of this place, but it seems like everyone I date wants to go here. With that being said, I find myself here every now & then. When we’re coming back from Cincinnati or somewhere else in the northeast & the hunger is increasing as we get closer to home, we always stop here.
All of them are the same. People like to say great home cooking… Pfft! If I want cooking like this, then I’m going to make a trip to my parent’s house. Leaps & bounds over anything a restaurant can throw at me.
I normally order breakfast here. Typical toast. Edible eggs. Burnt bacon (when will places learn that extra crispy bacon isn’t the best bacon)?! Puffy pancakes. Sweet syrup. It’s better than any other fast food alternative that you’ll find in the area.
It is fun to go here & look around the store sometimes. It’s an easy way to holiday/​birthday shop for your family. With all of the nostalgic candy everywhere, you’ll definitely feel like a kid no matter how old you are.
Any other Cracker Barrel in the area would receive 2 stars from me. This one receives 3 because I think this one is the best.
Additional notes:
Friendly staff
Inexpensive prices
Outside porch sitting
Plenty of parking

This place is great if you are gay, on your way through Kentucky, and want to watch an old man with a ford dealership hat on scowl at you and your boyfriend while you eat dinner. Can’t say this has happened to me personally as I was here with my mommy. Try the chicken and dumplings, sub fried okra for the dumplings.

Love it! Great food all the time!

Congratulations! I shall never step foot into your restaurant again! Fire the cook! Fire the waitress and get a real manager! Your giving Cracker Barrel a bad name!

I could not give Cracker Barrel less than 5 stars. I LOVE THIS PLACE! I have been a fan of the chain for so many years and I have never been disappointed! I love their breakfasts (even for dinner), the ambiance, the service, the variety and their store. I feel like I travel in time everytime I go into one of these restaurants. I highly recommend that everyone visit this place at least once and trust me you will end up coming back!

It was packed today at lunch but I was still seated quickly. I tried the new trout dish (southern style under 600 calories) it was fast and the broccoli was fresh. I’d still say the lemon pepper trout is my favorite though.
I like that they have a variety of lower calorie menu items.
The waitress and all staff were polite and attentive.
And as always the prices are reasonable.

Eat here about 3 times a week. Great food and awesome wait staff. Highly recommended wait times can be long in evenings.

It’s Cracker Barrell, what can I say. Not good, not bad, just… Cracker Barrell. I will say, it is clean.

It’s Cracker barrel: you know what you’re going to get. Pretty good food at reasonable prices.

Standard fair… Can’t go wrong.
