Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

Super friendly staff, great breakfast foods. I don’t think I’ve ever had anything other than breakfast so I can’t comment on that. I guess I should venture out and get something different but it’s hard to not get breakfast because it is so good! lol

We ordered take out from Cracker Barrel for lunch today. The food was pretty good BUT my husband ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger and he asked to substitute Hashbrown casserole for the cole slaw. We were even willing to pay extra! But the person taking our order flatly refused. Isn’t the goal to please the customer?!! Also we ordered a coke to go. Only 1 size! Less than an 8oz. can with ice for $ 2.19? CRAZY! It’s NOT LIQUID GOLD!

Poor service unlike most cracker barrels. I don’t know whats going on at this one, but it is evident the staff does not like working there. Store staff ok. Very loud. It will be a long time before i spend any money here again.

Went Monday night with the family (6 of us) about 6:30ish, so after the dinner rush. We got a table right away and the server got our drinks, and then it kind of went downhill.
The food came out eventually, not a super long time, but not quick either. It wasn’t too crowded though, but it was LOUD! And it took the server many trips for simple things with plenty of time in between. The food was good, but getting extras, like dressing, or missing croutons, or lemons or extra syrup, just seemed to take a few reminders and some time to get. It was just really slow and really loud.

I’ve eaten here three times in the past two weeks because of its proximity to my hotel, but I won’t be back. The service is not on par with other CB stores I have frequented. They have messed up my order on two occasions and the wait staff seem stressed out. It’s as though they are forcing themselves to be friendly and nice.

I love Cracker Barrel. I mean how can you not with a name like that? I takes me back to my youthful days filled with cracker jacks and I always loved them because of the prize at the bottom of the box. Well much like that box of my good ol’ cracker jacks in the days of young, I still get as excited as a little kid to eat at a Cracker Barrel.
I don’t know if it’s the store with all those fun toys to play with and trinkets to tinker with, or the giant pancakes with the best maple syrup… maybe it’s a combination of the two. I love their delicious choices, their service is always great and the food always comes out fast. In the fall there is nothing better than being seated by the fireplace to be warmed up and hear that comforting crackle. Ahhhh… crackly fire and comfort food. Now that’s living.

I’m normally a fan of CB but this time, it was true comfort food.
I went in circles trying to find a different place that had some lip smacking ribs. The address was probably very close and I am sure what I was trying to find may have been around the corner hidden in the back. I was so frustrated after trying to find it for about half and hour and I still ended up at CB. Fine!
I normally have breakfast and brunch here so to dinner was new to me. I didn’t remember the prices being so good. I was starving and wanted to 10oz steak but I knew I was eating with my eyes. I settled for the 8oz Sirloin with 3 sides (sweet carrots, butter corn, and mash potatoes with thick gravy) and, of course, the biscuit since I have yet to find a cornbread that I like. The carrots melted in my mouth, the corn popped, and the mashed potatoes was delish. The steak wasn’t as lean as I would’ve wanted but I stripped it to the way I wanted it. The best part, the frozen mug apple cider — mmmm.
The service was friendly and quick even though there was quite a number of families and elder couples there for dinner. Of course, I decided to shop for some fun goodies after dinner this time.
