Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

We had the Friday fish catfish special for lunch. The portions were quite generous. The catfish was pretty good, although I’m from Mississippi and this is definitely not the fresh caught and fried that I grew up with. Still though, I was pleased with the crispy coating and the flavor was good. This particular location didn’t seem as clean as other Cracker Barrels I’ve been to. It wasn’t by any means filthy but seemed like it could be cleaner.

I have to call them out by name. Danielle and Preston did a fabulous job! What was really cool is that Danielle was our server and was on point. But Preston, who was cleaning tables, saw me from a distance staring at my plate and came over to see if anything was wrong. I told him «No» and I was just hoping that it tasted as good as it looked. And THEN he kept checking on us along with Danielle. The food was good, great service, and very clean dining area. A really good dining experience and we will definitely be back next Saturday!!!

Very bland breakfast. Sausage patties had no flavor. My eggs were way under cooked. Sausage gravy was unimpressive. Cheese grits were good in comparison to the rest of the food.
It may just be this store but it turned us off enough to make this our last time at a Cracker Barrel for breakfast.

This location makes the best Reuben sandwiches! I love ordering it with a cup of soup :)

Another excellent meal at Cracker Barrel! My family stopped here to meet up with more family members for a late lunch. This is a great location just off the highway with lots of parking. There were ten of us in the party and we had about a 30 minute wait before we were called. This is an easy place for my family to come to because there’s always plenty on the menu we’ll eat and the portions are just right. We were introduced to two servers, one was training and rightfully so. She was having a very difficult time so we were thankful for the trainer that was with her. The trainer did an excellent job at keeping our orders straight and our glasses filled. She was very kind and even took the time to show us some cheats for the games set on the table.
For lunch I finally had something other than the cornbread dusted haddock; I had the pot roast. It was amazing! So tender, I didn’t even need a knife to cut it. As with most of their meals, you can pick 3 sides. I got mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese and steamed broccoli. I’ve had these sides before so I knew what I was getting would be good. I will definitely be getting this meal again on my next visit!

I have eaten at multiple Cracker Barrels, and have always been pleased with the food and service. This one is no different. When we arrived Sunday morning, it was packed, but they are very quick with turn around, and we were seated within 10 minutes. I love their biscuits n’ gravy, but they had a delicious looking special that I wanted to try. Strawberry and Lemon French toast. Amazing! Like all other meals, it came with 2 eggs and choice of meat. Their dishes are fairly cheap, and you get a large portion of food.

Friendly staff, wonderful comfort food, and a cozy setting all for a great price.
I love this place. I always go for the breakfast menu, which is available all day.
I have been here more times than I can remember and will continue to come back.
They are super good with big groups as well as small ones.
The only downside is the country store, I usually want to buy everything in there.

Food is usually good for the price. Had service problems here a few times. Waited up to 10 minutes. No one. No drink order. Just terrible. Same was happening to many other customers. Sometimes people that come in well after us get there food long before us. It all depends on the waitress and the manager. I’ve been here many times and will return.
Many times this place has been fast and perfect.

Ate here twice while ay Lazydays because spouse found they had a good gluten-​free menu. Her steak and chicken meals were great as were our guests and mine.
Wait staff was attentive and did a good job.

This is just like every other Cracker Barrel. No better, no worse. I, personally really love Cracker Barrel!!! I grew up having it on road trips and for special occasions. I love their biscuits & the fried catfish. And then don’t get me started on the hash brown casserole, and if you ask them to put it on the griddle — they will. I read the other reviews for this location but it didn’t look dirty to me at all and I even went to the restroom.

The location is a bit hidden, and it is spooky to go there at night. But with that being said, as a tourist in the area, this place has everything. You can buy suveniers, sauces, clothes, greeting cards, rocking chairs, and oh yeah, there is food too.
The food portions are big. I got the meat loaf, and that with 3 sides was a lot of food. I could not decide on biscuits or corn bread so our server got us both. The service was good and I experienced Southern Hospitality here. I did taste a lot of butter in all the food, and as much as I would like to come back, I will stay away for now for the sake of my health.

I guess I’m now on cracker barrel’s «ignore this person» list. Having written to them with comments about they’re failed health inspection, sick to my stomach comments, they auto-​replied via they’re computer. The computer told me they welcomed my comments and «if they deemed necessary» would have a real person contact me… it’s been over a week, so I’m assuming they don’t give a roach’s ass! oh well. Corporate don’t give a dam, at it’s finest.

OMG. Shame on you Cracker Barrel (Seffner)! How could you let your restaurant get so nasty?! How were the employees just serving stuff up like it was all good?! Even when they COULD SEE what was going on?! I will NEVER eat here again unless they have a see thru kitchen where I can watch them cook my food. I’m so disgusted and disappointed. I really liked the food. Does that mean I like roach poop? Let’s not even.
*** Look up their health violations. Unless you’re used to similar conditions in your own kitchen at home (eww), you probably won’t want to eat here anymore either.

I just really don’t like none of their food but I will eat it because my friends like it

This Cracker Barrel just recently is temporally closed for live roaches around the cooking area this would leave a sour taste in your mouth. My family has eaten here in previous year and the smell of this place is nasty. It smells horrid once walking in to the establishment like what the other person has claimed and stated. Food was okay nothing special drink orders was filled in a timely manner.
The restrooms needs attention to it smells horrid like they haven’t been deep cleaned in a awhile I feel sorry for the customers have illnesses and low immunity who come here to eat and have to use the restroom and they have to use this restroom cause they have no where else to go.
Our food was served cold and it took forever to get it served back to us seemed like they only two cooks with a major crowd which we understood that but don’t serve food customers cold food.
Over all happy or not happy? Not happy with this place and now they got busted for live critters in the kitchen. DISGUSTING!!!
This link here to show the recent findings of roaches and 37 violations.

⁹⁄₉ Update: So the filth of the bathroom extended to the kitchen as they were shut down recently for a day due to finding over 50 roaches in the kitchen (including on food prep areas). Couple roaches isn’t a big deal to me but over 50? That’s a serious problem. Hopefully, the inspector told them to clean the awful men’s bathroom too.
Original review on ⁹⁄₈: Ahh nothing like the smell of stale urine to get dinner off to a great start. The men’s bathroom was disgusting on my latest visit. Bad idea going in there before eating. It was pretty foul. But my friend and I had already been seated so dinner carried on…
I ordered the meatloaf, which took forever to come out and I can see why; it seemed to be on the grill longer than it should have. My waitress was not good at her job at all. She took our order and was basically missing in action the rest of the time and it wasn’t even extremely busy, like it usually is. It wasn’t till the end of the meal when I got a refill and at which point, I asked for the check since I knew it would probably be the last time i see her. Just a bad experience all the way around. I’ve been to this location many times before because my parents used to stay at Lazy Days and we never had any problems (other than long waits on food) and I would’ve given it 3 stars after those visits. But after the latest visit, I’ll go with 2 stars.

Must be under new management. First visit was awful but I was pleasantly surprised this time.

Wow, surprisingly great breakfast! I thought this place was like Denny’s, but it is delicious. My mom had the Rueben which was delicious as well. I had the big country breakfast, don’t remember the name, came with meat, eggs, grits, fried apples, hash browns, and b&g. Biscuits and gravy wasn’t the best, but everything else was great.

So today stopped in for quick breakfast and as always had a good meal. Arrived about 9:30 so breakfast crowd had come and gone so lots of seating and attentive service. I had single blueberry pancake which was just enough. Although bacon is good I don’t see the «thick sliced» description fitting the bacon. I have had thicker sliced bacon purchased at grocery store.
My husband got Uncle Crackers breakfast and chose for his meat side grilled catfish. I would never order fish with breakfast but I wasn’t eating it. His breakfast came out and since I love fish but never tasted catfish I thought I would try a bite. It was delicious. I would definitely order that for lunch or dinner. Beautifully seasoned and flaky
Had to ask for water when breakfast cane which is a pet peeve of mine as I think water should at least be offered at all restaurants especially in the heat of the summer with high dehydration risks.
Again Cracker Barrel provided a consistent high quality meal for relatively good price.

I’m a big fan of Cracker Barrel breakfast, but this is a review of the lunch situation.
I’ll start with the building and staff. This CB looks like all the others I have ever been in, so aesthetics-​wise, they stick to the brand. My waitress was apparently emotional as it was her last day working there, so her sister warned us she may be aloof and kept checking up on our table to make sure she was okay. It was kind of weird truth be told.
As for the food, I order the CB Lunch Sampler. As such, I tasted meatloaf, sweet ham, mac and cheese, hash brown casserole, chicken and dumplings, a biscuit, a cornbread muffin, and French fries.
The two things that did not disappoint (and are also standard breakfast items) were the biscuit and the hash brown casserole. Lunch-​wise, I found that I enjoyed the chicken and dumplings, Mac and cheese, and ham.
I was not particularly pleased with the meat loaf which was a greasy heart burny mess. And I absolutely hated the corn muffin. It tasted like nothing.
Overall, I’d probably go back, but it wouldn’t be my first choice for dining.
