Five stars for restoring my faith.
I’ll be honest. My relationship with Cracker Barrel had been on shaky ground lately. The one near home had slow service and food that made me wonder if nostalgia was doing all the heavy lifting. Then we stopped at this location, and suddenly all was right in the world again.
From the moment we walked in, it was excellent service and food that actually tasted like someone cared. I ordered the country fried turkey simply because it sounded delightfully unnecessary, and somehow it was even better than expected. Crispy, tender, and paired with cranberry sauce that added just the right amount of tang. I did not know fried turkey could be upgraded, but here we are.
The fried apples were exactly what fried apples are supposed to be. Warm, sweet, and impossible to stop eating. The only hiccup was the sweet potato casserole, which had a surprise citrus note that felt like it wandered in from the wrong dish. Not terrible, just unexpected.
Service was friendly and efficient, and the overall experience felt like classic Cracker Barrel done right. As for the decor, I noticed the lighter walls that hinted at a rebrand experiment, but thankfully all the familiar Cracker Barrel treasures were still there. Peg games, signs, and general country-store chaos intact.
Bottom line, this location redeemed the brand for me. Good food, good service, and a reminder of why Cracker Barrel earned our loyalty in the first place. -
Unfortunately there was plastic in my partner hash brown. We overlooked and didn’t complain about the cup with ketchup on the outside that was brought to us. We just poured it in another cup. We also overlooked the fact that they were using napkins to level a rocking table. I also overlooked the fact that their sanitation score is a 92. When we pointed this out to the waitress she was kind about it but the manager never came to speak to us and explain what happened. The waitress said the manager couldn’t come out because it was a mess in the back. The waitress also believes that this possible happened when the cook was cutting the hash brown bag open which was my thought already. They need to be more careful no matter how busy they are. We obviously don’t finish our food and I will never return.

I didn't eat on site but the ambience in the shop leading into the restaurant was clean and inviting. The staff is extremely helpful. I had an order for pick-up which I was purchasing using a gift card. This was my first visit to a Cracker Barrel near me (NC); my visits previously have been in VA. I was delighted with my meal which was considered a "shareable" and while plenty to share, I at the entire delicious meal in one sitting by myself! I immediately texted the family member who gifted it to tell him how much I enjoyed the gift. And I have a little money remaining on the gift to use toward my next meal there! Looking forward to it!

We were seated quickly, even on a holiday weekend Saturday night.
Our server was pleasant and checked in with us several times.
Hubs had the meatloaf, which he really enjoyed. I had the campfire chicken which was ok. Everything is cooked together inside an aluminum foil bubble. The chicken was cooked through but whatever seasoning used wasn't tasty. Everything needed salt and the corn could have used some butter. The potatoes and carrots were cooked through and everything was hot, just not delicious.
You can pay using the QR code on the receipt which is a time saver. When we were finished eating we were able to depart. At least two staff thanked us for coming - a nice touch to make us feel welcomed. -
The last time I ate at Cracker Barrel August 2025 and the food was good. I don't know if they change chefs or the food is better during the lunch hour versus dinner hours. However, the food was not good this past weekend and we were very disappointed because we were celebrating her birthday. Maybe we will try during the lunch hour to see if the food is better.
