“Have always been a fan of Cracker Barrel but had never done a breakfast meal before. The prices were as expected and the food was tasty. Our waitress was exceptional as she had basically a whole side to serve because they were short staffed. She was a go getter and kept a smile the whole time. Can't leave without checking out the merchandise throughout the store. Something in there for everyone. Will be back. Highly recommend.“

“TL;DR: you will have a good time here.Overall the service and atmosphere are fantastic. The owner, Mike, happened to be in the restaurant and came over to our table to check on us a few times. Personable guy, funny.The food was in a weird spot for me. The sides were dynamite (creole mashed potatoes & and corn bread), the mains that I had (ribs, brisket) were just ok.The rub from the ribs was very smoke forward (my hands and clothes actually smelled of smoke for a while after we left) but I didn't get much in the way of flavor past the smoke. The rib meat was fine, if not a little bland.The brisket was less smoke forward but still that was the primary flavor I got. Additionally the brisket was served in one big hunk and it had the taste and feel of a pot roast moreso than what I expect brisket to taste like.The homemade sauces did a lot to impart flavor though. I would go back and try some of the other offerings though.“
