Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

It can be inconsistent (or I would give it a 5) but we have had mostly good experiences with often excellent food. The fried shrimp platter is one of our favorites and I love their macaroni.

Fresh homemade country food. My family has been coming to Cracker Barrel for years, it’s always delicious. This location is great, as well as others I have visited across this country. Fresh sweet tea, lemonade, soda. The food is always 5 stars and we are never disappointed. Order anything from breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert and you can’t lose. There are so many great choices and all the meals are served with a plate of corn bread muffins and buttermilk biscuits with butter. I always leave here stuffed. The staff here is great. They serve a really great Thanksgiving meal too. My family and I ate Thanksgiving dinner here last year instead of cooking. It was fantastic! The restrooms are clean and well maintained. The gift shop is loaded with nice gifts for just about anyone, candy, toys and even clothes. We will continue to eat here.

Unbelievable! This location deserves zero stars. After waiting 45 minutes for our food and after flagging down our server twice for drink refills and silverware, we asked for an order status only to find out that she never placed the order. She barely apologized so we just left never to return to that location again. Go elsewhere as there are plenty of good restaurants in the area.

We arrived at 830pm which was sorta late for dinner but we were headed to Dallas for a project. When we arrived there wasn’t many people there and they were starting to close down stations. I think the lady who sat us was a manager or supervisor she wasn’t so friendly when I got up to the stand she also wasn’t rude but felt like she was waiting to get store closed. The middle dining room was open and there looked to be only two servers left. So sorta busy for two servers which made service slow at first.
Our server was very friendly and quickly got our order in and was out with 10 minutes. My husband and I ordered the same thing which was the roast beef dinner with mash potatoes. I had steam carrots and turnip greens and he had green beans and a side salad. The meal was great! The roast beef was so tender. This worked well for me since I had just had a root canal hours before and needed something soft to eat.
Only complaint and this is what lead to the scoring, the biscuits (which is the biggest reason I eat here) were so hard and inside didn’t looked cooked. I would have broken a tooth with how hard they were. I didn’t know if they were old biscuits reheated in a microwave or just cooked too fast that the inside was not fluffy at all.
Other than the biscuits the food was excellent.

1^st time at Cracker Barrel and it was a good experience! Love their food and gift shop! Visiting from Hawaii!

I’ve been dying to come here, but it’s always so packed on the weekends. We finally had the chance to come on a Monday morning and there was no crowd. The food was pretty good. I really enjoyed the hash brown casserole! I’d definitely come back just for that. The service was great until we got our food, then the waitress disappeared. That was kind of disappointing, especially when you’re waiting for a drink refill. I’d still come back! Can’t wait to shop again in their little country store.

I love this place! There is a ton of things to buy and such good food. I really love how you can play checkers and rock in one of their rockers and even buy one outside! Cracker Barrel is one of my favorite places to go eat when I have to go drive far! (totally recommend)

Was greeted by a hostess that was very sweet seated us at our table and we waited 20 minutes and no one even said one word to us got up and left told the cashier this Cracker Barrel has the worst waiter service I would avoid stopping here if you’re expecting anything less than nothing

I ordered the Friday «Fish Fry» special for 9.99. The menu is misleading. It describes a hand breaded catfish with their special seasonings. They failed to mention the catfish is the nuggets which are basically the cheap cuts of leftover meat off the fish after it has been filleted. The first nugget I bit into contained two bones. The batter was bland and the nuggets were cold. The Cole slaw was tasteless and runny. The pinto beans had to have plenty of salt and tobacco to eat. Save your time and money. Just drive a mile down to chicken express and pay half the price for fillets. Better yet the best catfish around can be found at The Crawfish Stand in Big Sandy. Fresh, hot, and full of flavor– consistently excellent every time.

I must have caught them on a bad night, reading some of the other reviews. My experience won’t bring me back. The food was bad and the service was terrible, not what I expected at all. I think I’ll pass on going back.

We came as a large group here. It was not a long wait until we were seated or served. The food is good if you like a country style of food, and the biscuits were the best part. The food is very fulfilling, so you don’t have to eat a ton to be full. It’s interesting to look at the decorations and the style of everything while eating. After we ate, we went shopping and found some really cool stuff. It was Christmas time, so we were also doing a little bit of Christmas shopping. Overall, we had a great time and the restaurant part seemed pretty average.

Not so good. Pancakes were over done. Asked for less done came out almost under cooked. Bacon salty. Grits no taste.

Get the sweet potato casserole and chkn fried steak. It was perfect. I loved it. Service is nice. People are nice there. Close to work so its good for lunch break. Its fast service too.

One of my favorite locations!!! Came here as a child and still love coming here. All though I do miss the giant candy jars behind the counter!!!

Typically can count on Cracker Barrels to be consistently good food and service, but not this one. Should have had the first clue when we had to wait at the entrance between the gift shop and restaurant to be seated (no one was there). The second clue came after we ordered and realized no one around us had food on the table. It was around 3 pm, so they weren’t that busy, but waited and waited and waitress finally brought out bread with an apology that the kitchen was running slow. Manager was also bringing out bread to tables and apologizing. Food, when finally received, was flavorful enough. Then we went to check out and there was no one at the register, but small group of apron-​wearing employees gathered talking in a back corner of the store. When one of them finally lumbered over to a register, she picked a register different than the one at which we’d been waiting to swipe in, then told us to come down there. Poor service and poorly managed. Not up to Cracker Barrel standards.

Always fun to eat at this place. Good service and good food. Prices are very reasonable considering its a chain type of restaurant.

Good food and great service. Our waiter, River, was friendly and helpful to us tourists.

Family of 25 and the service was not that bad, but it could have been better. The wait was on 30 mins or less, not bad with that many people. Several waitresses divided up the responsibilities of taking or orders. We would of liked more biscuits as 4 biscuits were not enough for a table of 10. The food came out rather quickly for one side and the orders were correct, however the other side of the table the food orders were late and not properly executed. Overall, the food good, but the service could have been better. It would have been nice if the manager did a follow up during out visit just to inquire about our experience, since we were such a large party.

Very clean, even during the lunch rush on Memorial Day. Jessica, our waitress, kept the drinks full even with all the tables being taken. Food took about 15 minutes to come out after ordering 2 dinner plates. Plates were promptly taken away after finishing the meal. Restrooms were very clean.
Plenty of space to park a truck or SUV in the parking lot. And the area around the parking lot was clean.
Great stop off from Shreveport, Louisiana to Dallas. And has a gas station right there at the exit.

Picked up some take-​out this week while on travel. The food was great! Service was friendly and food was ready when we walked in the door!
We have also eaten here several times before and have no complaints! A well run establishment.
