Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

Big thanks to Cracker Barrel because they support the RVers by tolerating overnight parking in their parking lots. There's no obligation to buy anything but sure, if I'm spending the night and the restaurant is open then I will.

I arrived at close to 9pm so I parked in the back and locked up for the night. This morning, a basic eggs and bacon and sausage breakfast with coffee coffee coffee. Biscuits looked great but I'm back on my no carbs so I skipped it. Great friendly service and I love that they now have wifi in the restaurant. Fantastic!

Pancakes were hard around the edges, which indicated to me that they were obviously not fresh/likely heated over.
Chicken tenders were quite literally burnt on one side. I was turned they were allowed to leave the kitchen. I was even more stunned that the waitress had the absolute nerve to serve them. Incredible. And not edible. We didn't have time to send back or argue the cost. Do NOT recommend it!

Ok Cracker Barrel. I visited years ago and the service has gone downhill. Still amazing food but iffy service.
Upon arriving, the hostess kindly greeted us and told us about the new Build-Your-Own Homestyle Breakfast. After 10 minutes, our server came and took our food and drink order and I ordered the Homestyle Breakfast. When the food came after 30 minutes, I was given the Momma's Pancake Breakfast instead of the Homestyle Breakfast I ordered, which is almost the same thing just without the Biscuits & Gravy. I would have asked to fix it but our server didn't come by for another 10 minutes.
I understand that servers can get overwhelmed but the restaurant was not crowded/busy at this point.

Anyhow, the food was WONDERFUL! I would still recommend this Cracker Barrell just know that it may take a while.

I was part of a bus tour group, and we stopped here for dinner. I am guessing the tour leaders and Cracker Barrel have a procedure that they use to seat a large group such as ours, and it worked well. One ding to the person that seated us who basically flopped down the menus on the table and left without a greeting
The server was quick to come to our table, greet us, and take our orders. The food arrived at the table with a surprisingly short wait time.
I ordered the Maple Bacon grilled chicken, found on the Home Cooked Classics portion of the menu. The two portions of chicken were cooked correctly, and the slices of bacon that topped them were delicious.
After the meal I went through the store (a required action when visiting a Cracker Barrel) in search of a baseball cap. (Rain was in the forecast and I left mine at home.) After being disappointed at seeing some with price tags as high as $24.99. I spotted one style I liked best near the register for $14.99.
Very pleasant dining and shopping experience.

Cracker and barrel has good southern comfort food. Love their fried chicken and their baby carrots. They also have a nice Country store, you can find beautiful decor products and other Knick knacks. This will remain as one of my favorite places for comfort American food.

I like to eat at Cracker Barrel when on the road because it is almost always solidly good. This restaurant was by far the absolutely worst one I've ever been to. The service was bad with a long ticket time. My husband got the country fried steak which was barely edible. Both of us had cold food. My cup of soup arrived 1/2 full and cold. Even the cornbread was not good. Nothing good to say here. Change of management needed.

As a Cracker Barrel employee our Christmas gift this year was being taxed $20 on my $100 Cracker Barrel gift certificate and hours cut. I get a charge out of Cracker Barrel advertising that their roast beef is slow cooked for 18 hours. I happen to know that it comes in all cooked and they slice it up. They don't serve enough of a portion. Their hash browns now are purchased dehydrated. They did away with blueberry muffins.

Stopped in for a late breakfast with my family. Even with a packed house we were seated and waited on quickly and efficiently. But what made the experience was our super friendly waitress Indya. She was helpful and patient with our little one. Definitely 10/10

Came here looking for a breakfast place after being on the road for a few hours and it's not a bad place to eat. It's a bit overpriced for simple eggs and hash browns and took a long time to get our food. Kept it simple just so we could eat and run but set us back a bit. Service is great but guess the kitchen was getting overwhelmed. Dinner is probably the best bet if your not in a rush.

I waited 20 minutes after being told that there was no wait. Trash service, trash atmosphere, my eggs were burnt, and my server smelled like beans.
