Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

The manager is awesome! Never had such a welcome and catering to my nut allergy child. So impressed. Needless to say the food is awesome and the waitress was great!

We walked in and were seated immediately, but it took a little bit to get our food though (about 15 – 35 minutes). I ordered the biscuits and gravy with the bacon. It was very good! Over all, I would recommend this Cracker Barrel to anyone.

I started this review at the restaurant yesterday frustrated and upset originally only giving them 1 star. I changed it to 3 stars only because the food was good.
I arrived about 2:30pm and they were not that busy, we were seated right away. Our waitress took about 2 – 3 minutes to come to our table which in the restaurant business is a long time, but that’s not really a big deal. What bothered me is we ordered, and she disappeared. No biscuits or cornbread, no drink refills. We didn’t see her for the next 20 minutes. When she did bring our food my things I had asked for with my meal weren’t there, and I had to request them again and wait and wait for them.
In my opinion it appeared to be a lack of training. I waited tables through my teenage years and the key to good service is a friendly attitude, keeping your tables drinks full, and ensuring they have everything they need promptly but DO NOT harass them. Pay attention to facial expression & you usually know if they need you.

Awful service! Got to Cracker Barrel at 5:44pm and its 6:13pm no drinks! we are walking out! Waitress walked by at least 7 times and acted like we weren’t there! The place wasn’t even busy…

We came from Maryland, so we aren’t used to Cracker Barrel. We’ve been interested in giving them a try, but they are always very busy and have a long wait. This past Friday, we must have hit just the right moment, because when we got there, we were seated right away, and our food came super quickly. Half way through the meal, the restaurant filled up and was super busy with a wait again. So, i guess we choose the right time to come in.
The waitress was super nice and oh so patient with us Cracker Barrel newbies. And Omg the food. My daughter and i did breakfast for dinner which was just awesome. And such huge portions for so cheap. And my wife got the country fried steak, which was also amazing. All and all, a perfect first impression!

Worst Cracker Barrel I have ever been to. Waited over an HOUR for food to come and The food was cold and stale as if it had been sitting on the counter for a while, and the plates were the warmest thing that were delivered to us. The biscuits were the only thing that tasted good out of this horrible fiasco. I would not recommend this at all, and I would highly request for you to NOT come here to eat. Drive the extra 10 minutes to find a better Cracker Barrel. I know I will next time.

The quality and quantity of their food has declined over the years. It’s the go to place with awesome memories but it is slowly fading as the top restaurant for our travels. It used to be tradition to stop during a trip but I think I prefer the local diner. Bummer!

This restaurant never ceases to amaze me. They provide you a wonderful breakfast for $ 10. Where in the world can you get a full service breakfast for $ 10 like this? I frequent this restaurant often when we want a quick wholesome southern meal and I’m never disappointed it is always the same excellent quality and great value. They are very conscientious with their waitress staff and take time to make sure that you have a good meal. If you’re traveling you can always depend on stopping at Cracker Barrel to get a great meal at a great price. Ironically enough The Wall Street group this week said Cracker Barrel was concerned that McDonalds was going to have breakfast all day now. What a joke not even close to comparing those like apples and oranges Cracker Barrel wins hands down every time McDonalds give it up.

I love this place for breakfast. Eggs are a little too done. .bacon is burnt but im starving and don’t care :)Casey is, a great server. notice u don’t have WiFi.. kinda disappointed but I survived…

If you have been to one Cracker Barrel it is safe to say you have been to them all… and that isn’t a bad thing!
I recently have been made aware of the deliciousness that is Sunday Fried Chicken, or as my boyfriend calls it «Grampa’s friend chicken.» I love this meal. I can never finish the plate and we leave with a relatively small bill. Where else can you get a huge heaping pile of food, that is all tasty, for under $ 10?

I’ve reviewed these places before but this one was funny as our server was one of the seven dwarfs from Snow White. We called him Sleepy because we thought he was going to fall over as he fell asleep taking our order.
The food is typical and OK for the price. It is the same in every location and definitely a cookie cutter style of home cooking. Don’t get me wrong. The food has always been fine, but it isn’t amazing or eye popping.
Costs are always fair and you can find specials that are seasonal.
My problem with this place is the gift shop. It’s like walking in to one of those «oranges/​gas/​trinkets» gas station for truckers. It’s stuff that is interesting enough to catch your eye and blind you from the fact you don’t really need to purchase it.

The typical what you have come to expect fair is served by nice servers. The floors were even clean, a first for the Cracker Barrel! HA!

This was a close location to all the hotels on Douglas Avenue. The service was friendly and they have many tables and seating available for all parties.
We usually order mama pancakes and those are always good. Also the blueberry muffin is pretty large by itself. Fair warning that the yogurt is pretty small but it comes w side of granola and almonds.
The strawberry and cream French toast is delish with strawberry and cream cheese flavoring to it.
Come with time. I came here in a rush and things were slower and they kept forgetting me and my order and requests.
The store is a blast. Stay after to take a look.

Ahh, Cracker Barrel.
A family friendly restaurant and also a cutesy country shop.
Cracker Barrel is a place I attend frequently, usually with my parents. It’s nice to sit down and relax and talk with my family. Cracker Barrel is quite a good place to do that. (It can get a little noisy but the environment is warm, friendly, and comfortable.)
ENVIRONMENT:
The décor is cool. It’s nice to see vintage signs and antique paintings filling up the walls. It adds an extra flair and uniqueness you might not get to see at another restaurant.
However, the wait can be fairly long on their busy nights. Today, however, we got a table in under five minutes. This is pretty good, in my opinion. I appreciated how the hostess wiped down the table before we sat instead of letting us sit at the dirty table.
SERVICE:
The waitress we had tonight was very nice. She was polite yet firm, which is what I look for in any waiter/​waitress. Our drinks were delivered in a fair amount of time (under ten minutes) as our food was also served pretty quickly (under twenty minutes). Other servers came over to offer drinks when they see we needed a refill. The manager also came over to check that everything was good.
FOOD:
The food is always OK. I get macaroni and fried chicken tenders with a sweet tea. Personally, I think the tea could be better with just a little bit more sugar. However, the fried chicken tenders are always filling and perfectly crispy. The macaroni isn’t anything to rave about but it’s not too shabby. This is what I always order. My parents, however, love to go on Fridays to get CB’s special (Fish Fry Fridays). Today they were very happy with the fried fish they were served.
CONSISTENCY:
Their food has kept the consistent taste on almost all of our visits. There are always hits and misses but usually it’s almost always perfect.
SHOP:
Their shop is quite lovely. There are always special sales on the back wall! It’s a great place to get someone a gift because it’s not too expensive and has pretty good quality (the items). There’s also a holiday themed section, which is always good. Not to mention, the kids section contains many fun and cute toys and books. Cracker Barrel ALSO has a large selection of cards, lotions, candles, and of course… candy! They have a pretty good selection of authentic country candy and normal candy you’d see in any store.
Overall, I love visiting Cracker Barrel. Their service is almost always good and the food is alright. The shop is fun to walk through and the décor is cute.
I recommend going if you’re ever looking for some nice country food.

4 star Rhonda –that’s what my husband calls her, is one of the best servers we know. We eat at Cracker Barrel in Altamonte the first week of each month. Rhonda always gets it right and the food is wonderful!
If they would give military discounts I would give Cracker Barrel five stars. After all they do sell military rockers «made exclusively» for Cracker Barrel. Just a thought.

If you want a sit down meal close to the freeway and you’re driving in the south, Cracker Barrel is your reliable choice.
None of the food is going to change your life. I like that they serve turnip greens on their regular menu, but I wish I could taste the greens a little. There’s so much country ham that it tastes like ham, not like a vegetable. I had the country ham, and it was too salty. The baked sweet potato and the corn bread were good. My husband seemed to like his food. He had the chicken fried steak with baked potato, green beans and side salad.
The staff was very nice, and food was served quickly. I cannot complain about this place. We were in and out of there quickly, facilities were clean, all in all, it was a decent place to take an hour break from a long drivee

Five stars for the food, but service was slow so it gets four stars for service. I think they were short staffed!
Awesome, food, check out the photos!

If you’re from the south and haven’t been to a Cracker Barrel… something is wrong with you and I’m not sure it can be identified. This review is more to the testament to the consistency of Cracker Barrel. I haven’t been to one that isn’t decent in taste and delivers good customer service. I went most recently on a Sunday, which, again speaking to consistency, was very busy. But we were sat in a timely manner. I tried something new (I usually only get breakfast) and got the lemon pepper trout. I was very delicious.

Has to be one of the worst meals we’ve had at a Cracker Barrel. Usually you can at least count on hot food. Not today. All three of us at the table were served cold eggs, cold meats, and lukewarm gravy. Yuck. My husband had asked for his steak to be served on a separate plate so the juices would not run into the other food. No such luck but «fortunately» for him, the steak was so over-​cooked it had no juices left. Medium rare it was not.
Knowing its a chain you don’t have an expectation of amazing food but when you’re a chain known for breakfast you at least expect it to have some taste and to be served hot. This is one Cracker Barrel we will not be returning to in the future.
Server did bring another plate to my husband and reheated our gravy in the microwave. Guess that’s something.

Ah, Cracker Barrel. It’s funny how tastes can change as time goes by. In my younger years, you would never catch me in a Cracker Barrel. No thank you. However, in recent times it has easily become one of my favorite places to eat.
I normally partake of the Cracker Barrel Country Boy Breakfast: 2 delicious Pork Chops grilled to order, Three Eggs (scrambled, for me, please) served with Fried Apples, Hashbrown Casserole, Grits, Sawmill Gravy and Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits (my main reason for coming, crazy good biscuits and gravy).
The employees are always nice and smiling. I have yet to have any issues here.
The addition of the store area at the entrance of the restaurant is also a nice touch. If there is a wait, this gives you something to pass the time, and they have some interesting items.
So, now when someone says «Cracker Barrel?» I say «Yes, please.»
