My visit to Cracker Barrel was a pleasant experience, and I’d definitely go back. The service was splendid, with friendly and attentive staff making sure everything was just right. I started off with an iced water and a mocha iced coffee, which was smooth, rich, and had a nice balance of sweetness. For an appetizer, the fried pickles were crispy, well-seasoned, and served fresh.

We had a really great dinner at this Cracker Barrel Old Country Store. The restaurant is kept clean and the store is well stocked with a huge selection of merchandise. The food is very good, not and fresh with a nice selection. The service here is also very good, friendly and attentive.
Some of the best Cracker Barrel food I have had in a long time! The campfire chicken tasted just like what I make at home. I would say it was more like a roasted chicken and veggies out of the oven but very good none the less. Their hash brown casserole was on point! And the grilled chicken tenders were marinated well and have really good flavor. The waitress was almost over seated. She did an excellent job managing all that she had though.
I was eating alone, would have enjoyed a little peace and quieter area (which was empty), but was seated beside 10 loud people. I didn't complain, because I didn't want them to misunderstand why I would have moved. If they had been my family, I'd have moved! Maybe a little more attention to seating arrangements.
It really felt like the staff was overwhelmed. Our server was super busy, so service was really slow and we had to ask other servers for things like refills and napkins. Not really her fault she just had too many tables. I’m guessing the kitchen was in the same boat. The food was really greasy, and even though the plates were hot, the food itself wasn’t. Overall, just not the best experience. Also, the tables and menus were sticky, which didn’t leave the best impression. Definitely some room for improvement all around. Hope... read more
