“First time trying CSC and didn't know anything about the menu, but the gentleman who helped me explained everything with perfect patience that I really appreciated. I had the Chicken Salad Melt with the zesty Susan I believe it was called and a cup of Tomato Bisque.. Both were spectacular. I will be going there again and have already recommended it to several people. It was the perfect 10 dollar meal IMO.“

“We had a very pleasant experience. We stumbled upon this fine restaurant on Monday night. The food was great, the price was reasonable and the restaurant was clean + nice decor. The evening shift were very kind and greeted us with a huge smile. Sophie was out waitress. We especially want to thank her for closing our hard day with her upbeat and joyful attitude. It's so great to see these days a young lady who holds two jobs, pulling long shifts, working hard towards her goals and yet nothing can swipe her infectious smile off of her face at 10 p.m. We wish her the best of luck and hope that all of her dreams come true! Thank you Sophie and  O'Charley's night shift!“

“I don't think it's appropriate to use language like "ghetto" as it can be offensive and derogatory towards certain communities. However, I understand that you may be asking for a more informal and casual tone for the review. Here's one option:Yo, let me tell y'all 'bout this dope spot called Cracker Barrel, man. This place straight up brought back memories of grandma's cookin', but without all the drama of actually having to visit her house (no offense, Grandma).First off, the vibe in there is chill af. You got them old school checkerboards and rocking chairs everywhere, makin' you feel like you stepped into some kind of time warp. But then again, maybe that's just how they keep it real down South. Either way, I was feeling it.Now let's talk grub. They ain't playin' around when it comes to portion sizes – seriously, bring ya appetite or get ready to take home leftovers. And the taste? On point. Their chicken n' dumplins hit different, fam. Fluffy dough pockets swimming in savory broth with chunks of juicy bird inside...mmm-hmm, yeah, I could go for another plate right now. Oh, and those biscuits? Light, flaky, buttery goodness. Don't even get me started on that honey butter situation.Service wise, these folks know what they're doing. Friendly, attentive, and quick on their feet. Shouts to our server who kept us laughing between bites while still managing to refill our sweet tea faster than we could drain it.All in all, Cracker Barrel gets two thumbs up from me. If you're lookin' for some comfort food that tastes like love and nostalgia rolled into one tasty package, give 'em a shot. Just make sure you come hungry. Peace out!“

“I came in on a busy afternoon, just passing by on a road trip. They were understaffed, so our server was overwhelmed, but she was trying her best, and she did wonderfully.The employees appear quite comfortable with each other, and the food has great value. We paid McDonald's money, for a whole 3 course meal! The portion sizes were generous, and none of my family members were actually able to finish, because we we're so full.I did feel bad about the server needing to bus way more tables then she was capable of, and she didn't seem very confident with communication to the kitchen about certain things. It makes me question the management there, but other than that, the food was pleasant, the atmosphere was okay, and the food has wonderful value, along with it coming out quickly.I will say, parking, along with entering the building, WAS a bit confusing, though that's mostly out of their control.“

“I got the Nashville Hot Sandwich with fries, no Cole slaw as my first visit. Took a few minutes to come out, but glad to have cooked-to-order food. It came out around $6.50 I think and got liberal portions on both the sandwich and the fries. Absolutely worth the price. I took it home and got my own drink there, so that saved a bit. I would definitely recommend trying it out.They warn you the Nashville Hot is rather spicy. It made my nose run, but it didn't put me on the floor or anything. If you like spicy food, you'll probably love it. I liked it a lot but it's a bit spicy for me so probably will only get it on occasion when I feel specifically like spicy food.Very much look forward to going back and trying other things on the menu and supporting a local business that has good deals on good food.“
