Only half of the Dining area was open at prime dinner time. Staff didn't know why. Food was cold! The manager Offered a free soda for my cold food. I took it home and heated it up myself. Our server was very nice.

It's been a very long time since I've been to a Cracker Barrel. I thought I would give it a try for breakfast.I had the Grandma Sampler.The eggs were made just right. The pancakes were okay, not very fluffy. The maple syrup was on point.As for the meats that came with the sampler. The best was the bacon, it was cooked to perfection, it also had a good flavor. The ham was on the tough side. I didn't like the sausage patty, too smoky tasting to me.I also had the hash browns and they were good.I thought it was strange that they brought me a small carton of milk, rather than a glass.The people were really friendly and helpful.Would I return, probably not. I would rather support a local diner.Parking: A very large parking lot.

I went to CB with a friend to have an early dinner. I ordered the old timers breakfast. The eggs were overcooked, bacon was fatty and raw, hash brown casserole was greasy, corn bread was overcooked, looked burnt. I asked the server Taylor B to correct my order. She came back with flashed fried bacon, eggs semi-hard, not over medium, and the same greasy hashown casserole. I had to ask for my gravy and I told to share my friends gravy... Seriously, when I asked to see a manager she rolled her eyes at me in disgust! A man came out from the kitchen, not the dinning room, floor manager. He was polite and told me he was sorry. It was the worst experience and the food was awful. I paid $27.43 for my friend and I. I will never, never eat at CB Effingham again. Sorry, was not good enough... It showed that customer service is not a priority to your establishment!

Had an order delivered, that was very well done. However, the food left a little to be desired. Mashed potatoes and gravy and carrots were delicious. Roast beef, not so. Sliced very thin, probably about 1/4" and tough as a boot. Nothing like the roast beef used to be. Very disappointed in the meal for the price I paid.Parking: Don't know. Meal was delivered.

Our meal was great. Our service was great. The one thing that was frustrating is our son has many food allergies and we felt like it was nearly impossible to swap things out to accommodate what he's allowed to eat. I understand that only certain things can be swapped but it frustrating. For the rest of us everything was delicious.
