Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

If you have ever been to Cracker Barrel before this is pretty much the same as any other. The service at the Mebane location is good. The food is decent, a good value for sure. I like the catfish meal they also have excellent fried chicken and chicken fingers. Salads are good as well. I wouldn’t recommend a side of green beans, they are clearly canned and you can tell. Cole slaw and fried okra or mac and cheese are your best Southern sides

Wow! This Cracker Barrel is wonderful! Alex was our server and she gave us great service. The corn bread and biscuits were as good as Grandma’s at this location. My meal and my husband’s sides were delicious. My husband’s country fried steak was quite overdone. It happens. A new meal was immediately brought out (even though my husband had eaten his sides). The manager came over, apologized, checked to make sure the new meal was cooked properly and offered a free dessert. THIS is customer service done right.

Food was great, but our server was on different planet that day.

Cracker Barrel has tasty food. It is priced low and served to you quickly. Service is always pleasant and quick. My main issue with them is the lack of healthy choice in menu items. Most of the items on the menu, while being very tasty, just aren’t good for you. My favorite meal here is breakfast.

This has historically been our favorite Cracker Barrel in the area and we drive a few extra miles to eat there with the Durham store being closer. But tonight was not good. Service was fair and food was not good. Wife’s chicken and dumplings were cold and my medium sirloin steak came out past well done and about ¹⁄₈ inch thick. Grant it this is not a steak house but if it’s on the menu, it has to be better than what I was served. Both got sent back. C&D came back quick and were really hot but I opted for chicken fried chicken not wanting to test the steak option again. The CFC came out after about 10 minutes by manager who apologized but never asked what was wrong with steak. CFC, which I have had many times, was mostly breading and not very tender. Biscuits were good as were all vegetables.

Just had a lame experience trying to place a to-​go order. Called at 9:43pm. Asked the friendly girl who answered if I could still place a take out order because I didn’t know when they closed. She said ‘yeah, as long as you have your order in by 9:59 it’s fine.’ I said ‘yeah I guess there are still some people finishing up after 10.’ She said yup and that she had to transfer me to a server to order. I was on hold about 5 minutes before someone picked up and after some confusion asked me what I wanted ‘on that.’ Wasn’t sure what she was asking so I said ‘can I place an order with you?’ She shot back ‘if you can get here in the next ten minutes.’ I told her what the friendly girl said (essentially that I could have successfully ordered even if I called 15 minutes later than I did) and asked again if I could order and told her that I could be there in 15 min. She seemed very put off by this so I just said ‘ok, I just wont order anything’ and hung up. Not kool, Cracker Barrel. It’s Sunday and the chicken on Sundays is super good! Actually it’s the only thing I ever come to The Barrel for, lol. Yup, 2 stars sounds bout right.

Now on to the store portion (though this may be a double entry). Super cool place to browse especially when they have seasonal merchandise out. Just played with a walking zombie toy that has arms and a head with exposed brains that fall off = I want one!!. My kids go crazy over the toys, candy and old fashioned sodas. Always clean and well organized. Can be a little cramped with diners waiting to be seated at times.

It is the Cracker Barrel, the food is predictable and the service at this location was quick and friendly. My wife and daughter go there on Fridays for mother/​daughter breakfast.

Hair in my food, slimy scrambled eggs, and raw catfish. What else is there to say.

While visiting my sister, my family and I ate here three times in the span of one weekend. You can’t go wrong with Cracker Barrel. The service was friendly, place was clean, food came out fast and was typical CB delicious.

As far as Cracker Barrel’s go, this one is fair. Went two times while in town, good is good but service was slow, pushy, and lacking most of the time. Not vegetarian friendly. All breakfast combos require a meat item and they will not substitute. Pancakes are always good, eggs made to order are great. Some veggies do contain pork as seasoning and will not state in the menu.

I’ve never had a bad experience at this Cracker Barrel. They e been so consistent, I’ve taken out of town guests there.

my wife and I have eaten at this location several times and have aways recieved excellant service and quality food. We have tried numeroius dishes and have never had any issues. The staff is excellant and the place is very clean. I would recommend it as a reasonable place to eat whether breakfast, lunch or dinner.

My husband and I had a great experience here. We arrived shortly after the normal lunch rush and we were immediately seated.
Our waitress’ name was Taneba. She was very polite and did an awesome job waiting on us. She promptly took our orders, brought our food out, and never let our glasses get empty. She even brought my husband’s coffee out to him after he had left it on the table and was standing at the register to pay. She offered us to-​go cups and had the check ready when we requested it. Great service from beginning to end; I can’t think of anything she could
have done better.
Our food was fresh, accurate, and was delivered in a timely manner. The biscuits were very fresh and delicious! The restaurant itself was clean and in good order. The restrooms were also clean and well-​kept.
We’ve been to this location in the past and if we come to this area again, there’s a good chance we’ll be back!

Always a solid choice for a quick bite. I especially enjoy their fried catfish, meatloaf, and dumplins. The other food items are decent as well. The prices are reasonable and the servers are polite. However, I do feel like every time I visit, they are understaffed and overbooked. I see a lot of servers making mistakes and I felt very rushed to finish my meal.
