This is the classic southern restaurant! I didn't know why it was so busy until I was there. I chose the southern fried chicken and it was very good, far from any secret recipe, I just felt at home, there's the secret, it's a busy place but their staff is always ready with a smile to help you. Don't forget to take the time to buy a souvenir in their store, there are some very nice items. See you soon!
The usual Cracker Barrel Experience. The wait was roughly 45 minutes. My daughter and wife shopped while we waited. Once we were seated our waiter promptly greeted us. He was very friendly. We ordered and 20 minutes or so our orders came out. There was several mix-ups, but the waiter did he best to correct. The food was decent except the pancakes which we couldn't cut with a knife. The waiter removed the pancakes from our ticket. The Pork Chops my daughter and I ordered were good along with the corn, hashbrowns and fries. My wife Shrimp were ok. All in all it was a decent trip to CB.
The location is great, the facility is nice and well maintained. Our server was Jim. He was responsive and friendly. We ordered the tater tots as an appetizer .. they seemed to be made in house, very flavorful. The Hash Brown Casserole Shepard’s Pie was excellent. The entrees were great, fresh and tasty. A great experience! This location is highly recommended.
The best part of Cracker Barrell is the Old Time Country Store. We visited today and had the Grandpa Breakfast & the Grandma's Breakfast. I had the country fried steak with one and th3 country fried Chicken with the other. We also had sausage with the grandma's Breakfast. Both come with a country side... two eggs any style and a side of biscuits and sausage gravy! Just because you can't come to CB and not order pancakes we had a side of pancakes too! The wait wasn't long, Carson (our server) was great and the food was good too! Now CB has a rewards program!
Good food good meal. Our waiter was assigned a very large table that was having a celebration. They occupied half of that dinning area, needless to say our table could not have a conversation due to noise level(4 on atmosphere). Our waiter had no help so he had large group,our table and a table of two. He was doing his best, our drinks were never refilled, was thru with dumplings before a spoon was delivered and one food item was brought out as we were ready to leave. All this is not a waiter fault its management.
To be honest, Cracker Barrels restaurants can be hit or miss! This isn't to cast a negative light on Cracker Barrel, but you'll agree that getting a 100% GREAT meal depends on several factors, starting with who's in the kitchen that day. That said, they usually offer good food, gopd cornbread, great service, and an inviting atmosphere.
Cracker Barrel is always a must on the road as I'm usually ready for some vegetables. The food was good and the restaurant was clean and not crowded. Our waitress took our order and came by to see if everything was good. That was the only time she came by the table until it was time to leave the check. No refills were offered and considering the price of tea, I thought she could have come by one more time. As I said, it was not very busy.
Great service and food was fabulous!! Super cute stuff in the store area
