It was Veterans day and my wife and I went to Cracker Barrel after an evening church service. It was about 45 minutes before closing. We were promptly seated, but waited about 10 minutes before our drink order was taken. There were a only a few customers , maybe 2 or 3 other tables.. I was asked if I was a Veteran., I am, I was thanked for my service. I asked about any Veteran discount my server wasn't sure and had to ask .meanwhile my wife noticed a card on the table about Veteran day When the server returned I showed her the card. She took our order. When we were served my wife was very happy with her order. My order on the other hand was not up to par the pancakes were cold , the sausage was over cooked and no eggs. I not one to nit pick and I thought she was going to bring them out. Never did. She brought the check wished us a good night. At checkout I was ignored several minutes until I asked if someone was going to take my money. I've been to that cracker barrel many times and have had mixed service.

Haven't been to cracker barrel in a while and there have been some changes. First, the food is still fabulous. We went for brunch/dinner and I knew I wanted breakfast food. I was a little disappointed I could no longer get an omelet. Omelets were never on the menu, but you could still order them. I love that they still provide a basket of cornbread and biscuits with jelly... you can ask for apple butter too. The sausage gravy is still on of my favs. The husband got the bacon and egg hashbrown casserole and I got the stuffed cheesecake pancakes and a side of loaded hashbrowns. The pancakes were dessert on a plate and the fresh strawberries were so sweet and good. Both hashbrown dishes were savory and really good. Another new thing is Mimosas. I would recommend the orange because they use fresh orange juice. The Apple was good and tasted like a jolly rancher, but it is made with a syrup that settles to the bottom and doesn't taste good. I would recommend less pumps of syrup for the apple and strawberry recipe. The pitcher is definitely the best value. However, they can usually only serve one pitcher per table. Taylor was an amazing server - sweet, kind, helpful and made sure we were taken care of. Don't forget to visit the store for all sorts of beautiful items, candy you can't find anywhere else and seasonal decorations. We enjoyed our visit!

This is one of my hubby & my favorite places to eat - it’s also a community favorite and passersby’s as this location is quite close to a major interstate and near several shopping experiences and a trauma center. Most recently I ordered the chicken & rice combo which I had to switch out- I then ordered a grill cheese and a side of the hash brown casserole both which were very good. The grill cheese was toasted just right with the cheddar nice and hot - delicious. The hubby ordered the roast beef which was very good. The service was acceptable on an apparently busy day. There are old fashioned candies - jewelry- candles- clothing & more available for purchase in the dry good area.Hubby & I usually get a Hershey bar- yummy! Take out - over the phone & online ordering available

Love Cracker Barrel! I was nervous when I heard the menu was changing but this time I tried a new item and it was great! Will come back to try some of the apple items, they all look delicious!

Been some time since eating at a Cracker Barrel, it's not the same restaurant that I've known from years past. Understand some locations better than others but last two times I've eating at one, it was not what was expected. Seems they're trying to be something for everyone instead of what was their core image. Sorry to say. The attached picture was the way my plate was served.

Cracker Barrel’s always been those places that I casually drove by but never got any chance to visit, so here I was on Wednesday. Food: I ordered the country fried steak. I think it tastes pretty good. The outside is not as crunchy/crispy as a KFC, but works fine. One thing to note though is that the kitchen might put several sides with your entree on the same plate, so if you are concerned about that, let them know. Overall it was 4/5 as decent home-style cooking. The coca cola cake was the best imo. It doesn’t have any coke taste but the top of it was rustling, almost as if you are eating ‘sands’ of chocolate pieces! The ice cream is free on top (based on availability) and complements the chocolatey taste of the cake pretty good. Environment: distinctive indeed, and the ‘country’ store has quite some collections. Worth taking a while to digest those food. One thing I wouldn’t recommend though is the loaded XXX (I got mac n cheese), it really was just some bacon pieces for almost $2. Overall I recommend this place if you’ve never tried American food before.

The food was good. I got fried chicken it was not that crispy like it used to be. Mashed potatoes and fried apples. The server did a good job always keeping my drink full and being attentive. The only thing was it took longer to get the food.. but other than the long wait time everything was good.

Long wait for such a small crowd. Half the party was missing things from there orders and 1 person waited almost 20 more min for their food than the rest. Waitress was new and don’t think they were the issue. Manager appeared not to care and believe the back room staff was the problem
