Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

Would’ve been a solid five stars if not for the always slow service. Food has been perfect everytime though

Friendly staff, happy and cozy atmosphere. Delicious food. Consistent. Most of the entrees are under $ 10, amazing value for the money. SO Much better than Denny’s, cleaner, better variety, and more homey! Cool gift store too

I enjoy this place because of the choices that you get and for the amount you get for the food. With a majority of entrees you get to choose 3 sides. My group of friends and I’s favorite include the mash potatoes with white gravy, macaroni and cheese, fried okra and cheese casserole. Entrees we enjoy are the roast beef and chicken country chicken. The lemonade is also made fresh, and who doesn’t enjoy lemonade that was made just for you.
Even though these are my go to dishes, they are just country dishes, but it’s the ambience of old times that makes me come back. It feels comfortable and because it has a very neat store with the cutest trinkets and old style items that you wouldn’t find in other places. Going to both the restaurant and store is a trip within itself. My fiancée recently bought a toy there (haha), I got the cutest salt and pepper shakers and some ginger beer. My friends got candy of brands you don’t see in stores anymore, clothes, purses and signs with the best quotes.

Gotta love Cracker Barrell. Well, I guess you don’t HAVE to but I like it. I would probably always order the Turkey Dinner but they only serve in on Thursdays… Aaahhh! So I usually go for the meatloaf. Makes me laugh but reminds me of when I was little. Tonight I ordered the Chicken Fried Chicken, so we’ll see. I like the little store — it’s nice to walk around and distract you while you’re waiting. Unfortunately the kids always want to buy something but oh well.

Talk about a cool place. Outside the place are a bunch of rocking chairs line the front. As you go through the front doors, there is a gift shop with lots of toys and candies and items that will bring a blast from the past to you and keep your kids delighted for hours.
The seating is all nice, the server was great and the food was amazing. The kids loved playing the peg game that is on every table. Portions were way too big but they were amazing. Comfort food to the max.

This place was awesome! They had great food and our server was very attentive. This was my first time at a Cracker Barrel and I thought it was a pretty rad place. They even had a solid gluten free menu.

«The things we do for love…»
Ordinarily on my Boycott list due to discriminatory Corporate policies, our visit was prompted by a search for specific Beanie Boos my niece wanted for her seventh Birthday which we could not find elsewhere. My SIL frequents this location and advised that the desired stuffed animals were indeed in stock here.
Begrudgingly, we headed over to the ‘Country Store’ side of this chain, Sysco-​to-​table sourced restaurant. They did have the most extensive selection of Beanie Boos we have seen, and were offering a «buy two, get one 50% off» special.
Because of the special, we purchased more than two, receiving excellent customer service from a girl who noticed us searching, she checked the computer and brought the wayward «Tuffy» to us from the stockroom. We were rockstars in the eyes of our niece at her party, but the tea set we purchased at a locally owned «paint your own pottery» shop made us feel better as educated and socially conscious consumers.
Even the cashier was very friendly, thanking us for our visit and inquiring if we found everything ok. But, none of this pleasantry is enough to make me patronize this chain which discriminates against basic human rights whilst billing itself as «All American» = duplicitous at best. Two stars are for the helpful associate and friendly cashier.

It’s Cracker Barrel — you probably know everything that can be said.

Great Food. Descent Service. Huge Portions. Really busy quick service saying we were a party of four, and packed with people. Cool shop packed with expensive nic nacks.

This is a tough one to rate. I’ve been to a Cracker Barrel before and it was alright dining in.
This time I decided to get a meal to go, since i was traveling alone, and my hotel room was ready with the a/​c cranked up full blast I figured i’d just be comfortable and have my meal elsewhere. I called ahead after reviewing the menu and I asked if there were any specials, I was informed that the special of the day was a turkey dinner. I thought about it and after looking at other options, decided to go with it. The lady on the phone was polite and easy to understand and I was told that my meal would be ready in 5 minutes. Luckily i was just on the other side of the shopping center and was there in 5 minutes. The meal wasn’t ready so I wandered around the gift shop part of the restaurant for about 15 minutes admiring the Christmas items for sale. It’s only September (too soon in my opinion)
The person that brought out the food in a to go bag double checked the order item for item and it was correct. I headed back to my hotel and laid out the items: corn bread stuffing, turkey, cranberry dressing, corn bread and biscuit with apple butter, mac n cheese. With all the items in their respective containers and sitting on my table the meal somehow lost its sparkle. having a large plate with just a couple pieces of turkey, gravy and cranberry dressing just looked depressing, but if it all the items were together it would just be a mushy mess by the time i got to it. I picked through the different items, the cornbread dressing was good, the turkey was just OK,. the cranberry dressing was pretty tasty, the gravy tasted like something from the store, the mac n cheese was lacking flavor, the apple butter was good, but I wasn’t sure where to put it so it ended up on one of the rolls.
Overall i guess the experience was alright, and a meal for $ 10 isn’t bad. I’d probably go somewhere else given any options.

Had the fried shrimp platter w/​mixed veggies, steak fries & mashed potatoes.
Satisfying but a little stale on the shrimp and fries. Mashed potatoes we’re delicious, creamy. Good overall. But I wouldn’t really come here by choice. Great service though waitress was very kind made us feel welcome.

Went there Friday night and had the cod dinner. Excellent service and great food. It was a great experience. I will definitely return here ! Very nice gift shop too.

This place is just weird. It’s very crowded, other people seem to like it a lot, but not me. The whole «Country Store» theme throws me for a loop. It’s strange. I had some egg-​sausage combo for breakfast, that I thought would be a casserole-​type thing, but turned out to be just ‘taters and tiny pieces of sausage cooked together. Eggs were plain as can be, overall experience was a giant MEHHHHH. No thanks.

There are few things I dislike more than crowds and snowbirds. Cracker Barrel has both in force! The kids love this place. We cave every so often for their benefit.
Let’s start with there always being a 20+ minute wait. Then you have to dodge snowbirds, children and merchandise in the hoarder-​style, overfilled Country Store. I feel like I’m in Pac man trying to get to breakfast while being blocked by ghosts and Yankee candle displays.
I get to my table, which have the hardest, wobbly wooden chairs ever. The tables have so much junk on top we can never fit the food (or beat the peg game). My drink is slow to get refilled, and I’ve rarely had a visit when something in the order is not missing. And for crying out loud, I want the breakfast menu. Does anyone in their right mind want the dinner menu here?
Then after your meal, you reverse your way through the maze to pay your bill. Holy moly people, take my money so I can get the rock out of here! The ghosts are chasing me again, this time out to the parking lot where a hundred snowbirds impatiently wait on the walk in rocking chairs with their oxygen tanks, playing checkers.

Greasy FLOORING in the dinning area!!! Please be careful. I fell down and hit the floor before I knew what happened. Management seemed to be very new Or not aware of what to do if anything happens like this… AND he Never offered to even pay for my dinner. He took my name and #. That manager never called. Someone for the office in Tennessee called me to check and see what had happened. So I explain. He wished me well and made sure he had my address… Days later I got mail from the Tennessee office. a 25.00 gift card was in it. WOW! Thanks so much!!!
BUT MY BAD. I still have swollen knees and I’m hobbling around. Maybe if this happens to you … Go to the hospital and get your self checked out … I wish I had done that now my knees are still hurting and swollen. Really bad !!! My mistake for being a nice person and not wanting to cause problems.

I have not been let down here… Service was awesome and food was good. Had Grandma’s Breakfast, and it was tastey. Our server was great… Friendly, attentive, and on the ball… even joined with us. I’ll be back!

WHAT HAPPENED???
Been coming here for about 5 years. You used to come in and get waited on in 5 minutes and get your food in about 10 minutes more regardless of how busy they were!
Now you come in and get waited on within 30 minutes and get your food within 30 minutes more if your lucky!
Today I was given coffee and water in about 5 minutes and was told by the waitress she would be right back to take my order. A half hour later she showed up to take my order. 45 minutes later my food arrived! Yeah, I did get my coffee refilled, but no more cream… and had to ask for bill 5 minutes after finishing breakfast!
Recently came in with friend and after not be acknowledged for 15 minutes… went to another restaurant!
While waiting for my breakfast, an apparent manager was asking 2 guys if he could give them free desserts for the bad service they were receiving. He should have been giving free dessert to everyone in the restaurant from what I saw.
He also passed my table and asked «How is everything BOSS?» If I were his BOSS he would not be giving away free dessert… He would be out!
The food is great but who wants to spend there day waiting.

The food was decent. The servers and waitstaff were very friendly to my service dog and I. Just as we were gathering to leave, our food and drinks in to to go containers, the manager plows around the counter: brusquely demanding, «Is that a service dog?»
I politely replied, «yes.»
He bellowed, «Well, is it a he or she; it needs to be under the table.»
I responded, «We’re actually just leaving, she laid to the right of me out of the walkway. She doesn’t fit under table because of her size, and the rungs under the table.»
He pointed, commanding: «Next time, under the table.»
I apologized, «I’m sorry, none of the servers asked us to move.»
A lady next to us said, «Leave them alone, they’re fine.»
During our meal, the waitstaff complimented my dog’s courteous behavior and training.

Been here twice now and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience every time. I’ve only gone for breakfast.
Staff is always nice and accommodating.
Here’s what I’ve had and how I feel:
Biscuits & Gravy: Delicious.
Hashbrown Casserole: Also delicious.
Fried Apples: Taste like your typical fried apples, which means it’s delicious.
Country Fried Steak: Cooked well, crispy, and the added gravy makes the dish
Country Fried Chicken: Just as good as the country fried steak
Eggs: I mean, eggs are eggs. Just order them how you like.
Steak: Cooked well. I’m picky with my steak so the fact that we paid the cheap price for this steak and I enjoyed it, means something.
Apple cider in a Frozen mug: Get this EVERYTIME. Breakfast, lunch or dinner. It’s refreshing and works great with any meal.
Disclaimer: I may have been hungover or beyond ravenous upon my visits here, so this review may be a bit exaggerated.
All in all, it’s a great, decently priced breakfast spot.

This place has an old fashioned country cook feel. The gift shop area is great and has a good assortment of items.
The food is decent. Some items are hit or miss but a majority of the time it’s good. The buttermilk pancakes are tasty. The grits are always cold and gross. We like the lemonade and root beer in a frozen glass. It’s a good place for a large crowd because the food is priced well for the portion and a good variety.
