    “Food and vibe was cool. Service was blah. Our server was slow, uncaring and also blah. The drinks came super slow which I found wierd because there may have been 10 people there with 2 servers, a bar tender and a lady that circled our table waiting for us to be done eating. The part which perplexed me was that our server brought our check before we asked and seemed perturbed we wanted another drink. Dont expect a normal dining experience here. Slow and boring is the experience I had.”

Usually no complaints, but our last visit 3/23/2026, ,there was a lady, I assume the manager in the dining area. This is at Joplin, Missouri, and she seemed to be barking out orders, no smile, not very courteous to servers, very abrupt to staff at checkout, speaking with a tone of irritation. She could use some retraining. I had not observed this at any other visit. The Cracker Barrel crew are usually welcoming, friendly and accommodating.”

    “In truth it's four star brisket with five star service. Their brisket does have a smoke ring. It's not a thick dirty smoke ring like I like but there is a smoke ring so I know that the brisket was most likely cooked properly. They have a good seasoning rub that they are also apparently proud of and they should be. With that said they're flat is kind of dry. And they don't typically sell the point by the pound they strictly use it for chops so you have to request sliced point. The slight dryness of their brisket makes their point ideal to eat in my opinion. They have three different sauce options that are all quite unique.”
