Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

We’ve been here several times. It used to be good. The last several times I’ve come the service has progressively gotten worse. Today the waitress Nancy delayed taking our drink order to go wait on a table that was seated after us because it looked like a bigger tipper. No apologies for the wait just a short «I’ll be with you soon». No apologies for the cold food, no apologies for forgetting things on our order. The only thing that was good was she kept my drink refilled. The manager was apologetic. And he was very nice about the situation. Thank you management.

This was the best Cracker Barrel that I’ve ever been to. The services was awesome and the food was AMAZING. The serving sizes were huge and I was extremely happy with my meal. You really can’t beat the price! I will definitely go back here.

Sorry I brought my family to this particular Cracker Barrel. We were greeted promptly and seated. Given menus and left. Which is ok. My family can never make a choice without reading everything offered. After several minutes our drink order was taken. I was pleased to see decaf earl grey on the menu. My plan was to have tea like in England, but more on that later. After several more minutes drinks were brought and food order was taken. Waitress was a little rough, but it was morning and maybe she was not a morning person, or hadn’t had coffee yet. That is ok, I totally understand. While waiting for our food to arrive we played the peg game and drank our drinks. Tea, water, and hot tea. Finished those and still waited. Never was checked on. Great if we wanted a quiet romantic breakfast, but CB is not the place for such a date, so this was never our intention! Anyway. My tea was drank straight. No milk, had sweetener since it was already on table worked, but not my plan. Then we were surprised that our food arrived!!! NOPE! Not our order. Not our waitress, but that was fine with me. THEN our waitress showed up, I think they were trying to hurry her along which she was having no part of! Food taken away and delivered to proper table. So we wait. Still could not get a refill of drinks or ask for my milk and another tea bag to attempt my quest! Food arrives, looks good, tastes good. Still no drink refills. I keep looking around wait staff is busy, but not noticing me looking in search of something, at this point if I could find a station for the drinks I would do it myself. Finally out of the corner of my eye I spy our waitress, hold up my cup and she brings hot water and another tea bag. She was in so much of a hurry (when this happened made me wonder what she was hurrying to do) I did not have enough time to get a milk for my tea. Foiled again. Dh never got a refill of tea and dd no water.
This was their first time eating at a Cracker Barrel, not sure I can get them to try another one any time soon. The ones at home always have great service even when busy, btw this one was not busy at the time we came in. Very disappointing.

It’s Cracker Barrel, hearty food and friendly staff.

I always enjoy visiting a Cracker Barrel and this one was not a disappointment. I was quickly seated and the waitress came right over. I had beef soup, chief salad and apple pie (I know I eat to much) and every dish was prepress excellently and timely. Defiantly will go back.

While we were in Florida we had breakfast here. OMG i LOVE their PANCAKES!!! They’re huge so was unable to finish them. Had Momma’s Breakfast and that was a lot of food. My BF had their stuffed french toast and it’s wayyyyyyy better than Ihop. 2 Breakfast 2 Strawberry Iced Teas and some yummy biscuits… the damage was only $ 27.00

The first time I came here I hated it and it has been 5 years since I came back. My experience changed quite a bit. The staff was very nice and greeted us promptly. The food is what you call typical, nothing special. However, the portion is huge and you’ll be satisfied with whatever you order.

The beauty of Cracker Barrel’s is that the are the same, and wherever you stop at one, you know what you to expect food-​wise. Once in a while you come across one that stands out because of their staff — wait staff and store staff. This one has some of the friendliest store staff that I’ve ever run across in all the Cracker Barrel’s I’ve been to — very friendly and helpful.
My meal was very good — I’m a sucker for good Chicken and Dumplin’s, and my expectations were definitely met the night we had dinner here on 4÷26÷2015. My husband’s meal — chicken livers and veggies — was very disappointing for him. The chicken livers were terribly over-​cooked, and he was really disappointed by that. The waitress could see he wasn’t eating much of his main dish and never said a word, never asked how our meals were, etc. A missed opportunity that night to show the caliber of service most Cracker Barrels have that we’ve been to.

Standard Cracker Barrel. I was pleased. Wish there was more chicken on my chicken salad, but no qualms with anything. Service was good.

Cannot get enough of this place! I usually dine here once a week. Food is awesome and the staff, for the most part, are very pleasant (hey every restaurant has that one «bad apple» lol). Food wise, in the 7 or so years I’ve been coming here, I can count on one hand the number of bad experiences. Even with those bad experiences, the was quick to comply.

It was an OK experience. Fast service, and affordable. Nothing special, but, not bad either. The poached eggs looked a bit odd, but tasted OK. The hashbrown was good. So, all in all, OK.

Yes it’s a Cracker Barrel and pretty much everyone has visited this establishment at one point in their life.
This review is for their salads. I usually always get a comfort food dish such as chicken n dumplings, hashbrown casserole and corn muffins. Today though I chose differently due to the weight loss challenge I’m currently in.
I went with their chef’s salad and it was great. Full of real ham and turkey and a deviled egg. I saw that they had a corn relish featured on another salad and asked if they could put a scoop on mine-​no problem.
So even though CB is known for their not so healthy meals, there are plenty of healthy, tasty options to choose from.

Every time I go to this cracker barrel I’ve been greeted by every staff member with nothing but friendliness & a good warm meal. I remember when we used to take ski trips up north, one of the highlights we all looked forward to was to visit cracker barrel since there were no locations in the city. As Floridians we are fortunate to be surrounded by a multitude of cracker barrel locations & with the best part being that the quality & service does not suffer one bit!
When I’m looking for some good wholesome low cost cooking this is my place to visit. From the hostess, to the waiter, to even the checkout person on the register I can always count on great service and a smile. Almost like a local diner type of feel to it. Thank you !
I usually come here on Sundays because they have the homestyle chicken w/​Corn & Apple Sauce which is my favorite meal in the house but is unfortunately only served on Sundays I only wish they would put this on the regular menu otherwise I would be coming every day!

Well this is my first time at Cracker Barrel and the great service put my experience over the top! I was greeted by my server Billy Henry, who was full of smiles and extremely friendly. He was very knowledgable of all the dishes. My drink was never empty and the food came out prompt and 100% correct. I had a complicated order too, but he handled everything very well. I have to say I would come back just for the service.

We went for lunch last week on Friday. Our server was very friendly and professional. I had the turkey dinner lunch meal with turkey and gravy, stuffing, sweet potato casserole, and a bit of cranberry sauce. $ 5.99 for a good amount of food. I mean, it wasn’t like a homemade Thanksgiving meal but it was really good. I will definitely have it again at some point. My husband had a breakfast meal which he said was very good.
Great service, good food, good pricing, nice, clean restaurant. Even the people up front were very attentive and friendly while we waited in line to pay. Wonderful customer service in my book.

We both love Cracker Barrel– honestly, we haven’t been to a location that did not deliver. But this is the one we frequent the most.
Justin always gets the roast beef– he says it reminds him of grandma’s. I vary with my orders– but my favorite would have to be this Beef Campfire special they have– it tastes exactly like beef pot roast I used to make (and mysteriously stopped)…it comes out served in wrapped up aluminum foil so you can open it up yourself, and the ingredients continue to soak in the juices as you eat. Divine.
We will be back, as this location is conveniently on the way to 275!

This Cracker Barrel is minutes from the Clearwater Airport and near our hotel. We arrived at 7am and had an excellent waitress. She was very helpful, knew the menu cover to cover and made our experience better.
The food is typical for a fast food establishment. Cracker Barrel is a great place for breakfast and one that’s perfect for the family. You can get out quickly or stay and take your time. Both are suitable here. The food is average and affordable. Come expecting that and you’ll go home happy, especially with how good our service was here.

This location is located right off Ulmerton. Haven’t had a problem parking yet. We were immediately greeted as we entered the store on our way toward the restaurant area. We were seated quickly, our server was friendly and our food came out fast.
I ordered the Sunrise Sampler which came with two eggs, grits, biscuits and gravy, fried apples, hash browns, sausage, bacon and ham. YES! Lots of food and I couldn’t finish it all. Good thing my son was there to help me! He had the kid’s one egg meal which came with a biscuit. That didn’t fill him up at all, but I gave him half my meal. Everything tasted great, no complaints here. Bacon was crispy, grits were creamy and REALLY good.
Good food at cheap prices. Breakfast any time of the day and southern style dinner meals. You really can’t go wrong here (or at least I haven’t).

Our luck to have a CB across the street from our hotel. We will usually hit up at least one on a vacation. Also a gift card to ease the expense does not hurt too. This is the second time I had visited this CB. I saw no change since last year when in the area.
I am sure my kids are so different than yours and love to check out the store with all the toys and candy prior to checking in for the meal. I am the strong one and say NO, most of the time… but hey it’s vacation so I am weak.
Luckily it was not too busy and we were seated immediately. The climate was not too hot outside, but as you know in Florida they love to blast the AC and it was chilly. Our server immediately took drink orders and was friendly.
After all was said and done drink orders were at the table in a timely manner and food orders were taken for the party of four. The only hitch here was it would have been nice for the waitress to mention there was gravy on a dish my son ordered.
The dining room was around half full at 7 PM and empty tables were cleaned. Floor was free of debris and I did see the manager roaming around which is a great sign. I know each CB is unique in what they put out and many have items that are local, but I just don’t pay attention to it.
The plate of biscuits and corn bread came out just before our food which was a nice appetizer. The entrees were out within 20 minutes of our order and looked great. I had the Roast Beef that was topped with gravy that was pretty tasty. In my opinion it had a little too much fat on the ends and a nice touch would have been to trim it off. My wife had the pecan crusted Cat Fish and really enjoyed. Daughter had the Mac n’ Cheese which is an upgrade from Kraft and son had the Chicken fried chicken and he ate is all after scraping the gravy off.
Our server was around, but did not check back in with us after the crucial few minutes after delivery to see if we had everything, food tasted good etc. I did have to call her over for a drink refill. Overall service was good. When finishing up the waitress was no where to be found and the kids and wife were ready to go and when to the store area to kill time. I ended up having to ask another waiter to let her know we needed a bill.
After paying for the meal I asked for the credit card receipt minus the gift card. However, according to the woman I had to ask prior to her ringing me out, so she could only provide the long itemized receipt.
The store presented well and CB does a great job in this area. My wife happen to find a VT sweatshirt that she loved, in all places Florida. The entire display was devoted to UF, so this was a weird find. Once checking out we learned this was a return months ago from a customer that bought it in VA. The sweatshirt is really soft, has the special thumb holes to pull it around the top of your hands and was a perfect fit. So this may have been the best part about the visit.
Check them out. Great location off Ulmerton and the Hwy. Several hotels in the area such as the Hampton Inn too.

I came here for dinner with my mom and her friend on a recent wednesday night. I have been to CB before, but mostly as a meal break when I’m on a road trip, don’t normally go locally here at home.
The décor and shopping here is standard — same at any location you go to. For my meal, I decided to stick with a classic and got the chicken ‘n dumplins with corn and country greens on the side. While we were waiting for food the waitress brought out biscuits with butter and gravy as an app. The biscuits were kind of hard and not that tasty. I recently made grands biscuits from a can at home that were softer and fluffier than these.
When our food arrived, it was a large portion size for the price and it was okay overall but the chicken and dumplins was a bit bland. Needed lots of salt and pepper to perk it up. All of the breakfast items i’ve had here were normally great, so maybe I’ll stick with those next time. My mom had the catfish with broccoli on the side, which is part of their low cal healthy options menu and she liked her meal.
The service was good overall, the prices are reasonable, my meal on this particular visit was not quite up to par, but since I’ve had other decent meals here before I’ll be back.
