Cracker Barrel

love this place

Worst experience ever! Host made us wait and the 7 person group ahead of us wait. There were about 6 tables total with people seated at them. We were seated, our waiter had no personality, not even a smile, didn’t even tell us her name. Took our order, didn’t bring entire meals, the second time she came out we weren’t even a quarter way into our meal and she gave us our ticket/​check. Personally that’s rude, makes me want to hurry up and eat then jus leave, she came a total of 4 times. The last time to pick up our plates. Never coming to this Cracker Barrel again, and it is the closest to me, but I’d rather drive the extra 10 miles to the one with better service and a smile!

This is great for breakfast. Giant checkers and rocking chair greeting on entrance. great service and love the bisque test

pretty good comfort food. service sucked but the food was good.

We arrived in the middle of lunch rush… Had to wait about 30 minutes for a table. Lots of stuff to browse while waiting and it’s super adorable to be able to play checkers while we wait. The chicken fried steak was as good as I remembered and I’d recommend that anytime. Mac n cheese was just better than ok this time… spice rubbed pork dinner was super tough and that was a big disappointment; the fried okra wasn’t very good either.
Service was good, especially since it was so very busy. All in all: A-​OK when in the mood for comfort Americana food. Just avoid rush hour.

Went on Sunday 03÷22÷15 around 1400hrs. About 20 minutes after ordering, waitress returned to inform us the Chicken Salad was sold out & there were no sweet potato’s, so we would have to order something else if we wanted to eat. We went again on 03÷27÷15, around 1030hrs. 30 minute wait for a party of 6, after an hour, we finally got our food. Gravy was cold, sausage patties were WAY over smoked. Never saw a busboy the entire time. Both times waitress’s were very attentive, but the entire staff seemed entirely over worked. It is obvious this Cracker Barrel isn’t managed correctly. We’ll visit other Cracker Barrel’s, but never this one again.

This location was OK. Like other Crocker Barrel, has the rocking chair in the front, you have to walk through the gift shop to get seated. Food was good, I really enjoyed the fried chicken. Didn’t realize how good their chicken is. Was not that impressed with the biscuit and gravy. Service was OK, waitress was over whelmed. She needed help.

My family has been coming here since they opened, and I always get a breakfast no matter what time it is. I love the cheddar hashbrown casserole, it is divine. I’ve enjoyed their country store and have bought numerous Yankee candles and once an adorable Pirate costume for one of my kids. I have to say though, if you are browsing around the country store expect an employee to hover over you the whole time, lol. My sons enjoy the little wooden games that are on the tables and also playing checkers (nice that they offer those). Service is almost always very friendly and prompt. Avoid coming here on Sundays after church though, it is a madhouse.

I had just arrived at my friends place in Arizona and was hungry after the 5 ½ hour drive. My friend suggesting a few places to eat, but there are few options in Buckeye, AZ and Cracker Barrel is the only one that sounded good. I’d heard of Cracker Barrel but never been, so this was my chance.
We walk towards the front door and past a bunch of rocking chairs. Anyone up for a game of checkers?
The front door.
We walk in and what a surprise… a country store inside!
We’re taken into the dining room and seated. Yessiree Billy-​Bob, if this ain’t country, I don’t know what is!
SERVICE: Our server Deana was pretty awesome. Very friendly, always with had smile and not far away if we needed anything, including a beverage refills we never had to ask for. The food came out of the kitchen in a timely manner as well.
FOOD: After looking over the large menu of southern comfort fixin’s, I decided on the Fried Chicken Salad ($ 8.69), a side of Mac & cheese ($ 2.59) and a side of the «Hash brown casserole» ($ 2.59). My friend ordered the chicken tender sandwich platter ($ 8.49).
My salad was good as salads go. Crisp lettuce, crispy chicken tender pieces, grape tomatoes, cheese & croutons. Simple, but tasty overall and really hit the spot!
Mac & cheese = ooey, gooey, creamy & cheesy… Pretty tasty and more flavor than just melted Velveeta.
I had to try the Hash brown casserole because «it was there». Very cheesy and oniony, it’s quite rich, but quite tasty!
My friend said his open faced chicken sandwich (w/​fried rather than grilled chicken) was very good, though he didn’t eat any of the corn bread and apple butter that came with it.
OVERALL: Nice place and friendly service, for when you want those down home country vittles in a VERY down home country environment… 3.5 stars rounded up!

Never again! Worst breakfast and service. Burnt food, cold food, incompetent manager.

We come here every once in a while and I always enjoy the sides more than the main entrée. Hubs and I shared the chicken fried chicken and it was waaaay to dry. However, everything else about it was delicious — I love their biscuits! Service is also pretty decent at this location.

My husband and I had a great lunch here as we passed through town. I had the chicken campfire meal and my husband had the chicken BLT both were super tasty and served up quick and hot. We will stop here again anytime we pass through.

Came to visit my pops and he suggested this place, well done, well done.. I recommend the campfire beef, seasoning was exquisite on the meat and veggies. My dad got the granola pancakes I was impressed. The décor is lovely, antiques everywhere and cozy ambience. I also like their little store good knick knacks and candy. The only bad thing was we waited a while for our food, the waitress was nice it just seemed a forever wait to indulge our food. Will definitely come back :)

For a chain restaurant focusing on Southern comfort food, Cracker Barrel is as good as it gets. You get quality food, reasonable prices, great service, a shop in the front where you can buy candy, souvenirs, and tchochkes, along with friendly, sort of down home, roadside atmosphere. Those of you from CA need to stop at a Cracker Barrel while you’re in AZ as there aren’t any at home. Not every Cracker Barrel is created equal, and the service at the Buckeye location knocks the socks off the one in Goodyear.
I had the grilled catfish, potato casserole (cheesy potatoes), fried apples, and biscuits. Everything was excellent and the catfish portion was bigger than I’ve found at other locations. If you open up your biscuit and put some of the fried apples on there you’ve made yourself a biscuit apple pie. Oh yeah!

I love Cracker Barrel they have something for everyone. Service is always friendly just once we had a problem where we had to move from our original table because they sat us down accidentally then they took over 8 min for us to get our drink order taken. We had to get the managers attention.
That will still not change my mind about how awesome this place is. We completely stopped going to IHOP and Denny’s this place is so much better. Their blue berry muffin is one my favorites. Their pancakes are made out of cratch! I mean you don’t get that out of a franchise. It feels very cozy and welcoming.
