This may be a national chain, but it's the people working there who make it local. Around the time my daughter was approaching her first birthday, she would regularly wake up during the 5am hour. Since we were up anyway, we'd throw on some street clothes and head over to Cracker Barrel for breakfast. So for several months, we were regulars... almost weekly. We routinely had Liz as our server and she was (and still is) amazing. When business was slower, as you'd expect for the early hours, she would pick up our daughter and carry her around the dining room to look at all the decorations, and the fireplace which she was especially fond of. This gave me and my wife a very welcome time to drink our coffee and eat our food while it was still hot. I think most parents appreciate just how nice it is to be able to eat a meal before it gets cold.Fast forward to the pandemic and we stopped going out to restaurants for a while. When we started coming back to this Cracker Barrel in mid-2022, we were elated to find out Liz was still there, and she still remembered our daughter. Just this past Sunday, we went back and while we were checking in at the host station, I heard from behind me: "Where is she? Where's Alice?" Liz looked like she was just about to start her shift and probably spotted us walking through the front door. She wasn't our server this time. But we still got impeccable service!After we ordered, I walked my daughter around the retail store. Liz walks up to me and asks me if anything in particular caught Alice's eye. I mentioned that there were a couple of snow globes that she wanted a closer look at. As we were getting ready to leave, Liz comes back to us and walks my daughter back into the retail store. This gives you an idea of just how comfortable we are with Liz. A few minutes later, Liz comes up to me at our table and hands me a bag with a snow globe in it. That's right, she bought my daughter a snow globe. Despite a 4-year-old attention span, my daughter is still talking about how kind it was for Liz to get her that snow globe.

Late lunch yesterday. No other people but us. We ordered meals, 2 of us ordered side salads ,3.89 ea additional cost. We never got any biscuits until I asked before we left. Sat there quite awhile waiting for our salads, they came less than 5 minutes before our food arrived, barely touched salad, waste of money. Manager sat at table behind us, told our server he was leaving, I said we've been waiting for our salads for awhile, she didn't even turn around and quipped, you will get all your food. Menu is a lot smaller, no corn muffins, lots of stuff missing from confusing menu.Manager rude, kitchen wasnt working good, how the hell hard is a side salad to make. The waiter was fine considering he was told to leave, then oh no you can stay. No wonder everything was a mess, head person doesn't know what she was doing. Should of gone to Red Robin. Total waste of 70 bucks! She wasn't around when I asked to speak to someone before we left, hope she sees this and comps our meal, it was a joke

The food is excellent! I have been to Cracker Barrel many times I have always loved the food, every time the service was excellent except this time. Timothy our server said they changed things on him but he didn't figure it out. We literally had to ask another employee every time we needed service from ordering to getting the bill. I highly recommend Cracker Barrel, hopefully it was just a bad day for Timothy.

We ordered fish fry, fish were pretty big, pretty good, but they didn't have corn bread and chocolate pecan pie. I don't like their side dish green bean.

Cracker Barrel is a good place to eat. If you like good homestyle cooking, the only thing I have experienced is sometimes the servers get a little overwhelmed, and it could take a while to get your food out of the kitchen.

Cracker Barrel has really gone downhill. First they took the catfish and haddock off the menu followed by taking the parfait, grits and breakfast sandwich off the menu as well. Prices have gone up too. We just waited 15 mins to be sat in a restaurant that was only half full. This place was our "go to" because we live close by but we'll be looking for a different breakfast/lunch spot now. Too bad.

Used to be our go to Sunday spot for breakfast until last weekend when my wife and I came in and requested the hash brown casserole. Kind of funny cause half of the staff was out side smoking cigarettes or meth. We arrived got seated, after 20 minutes waiting to place a drink order my wife and I decided to place a drink order and a full order. We requested the potatoes casserole, we were told on a Sunday with only 4 tables that they couldn't make it. We took our business elsewhere. We have a party of 6 every Sunday and this place sucks.

Our family of 5 stopped in for 3:00pm late lunch. I was worried it would be a madhouse on Sunday, but we had a nice area of the restaurant to ourselves. I hadn't been to Cracker Barrel in almost 20 years, but I remember the food being generous portions and very tasty. We had no complaints. The portions are still generous and the waitstaff were all very friendly. We ate our fill and still had plenty of leftovers to take home. I had the Sunday Chicken Dinner that included two large breast portions and two sides and biscuits for $17.99. The kids were in heaven browsing through the gift shop after dinner and have already started their Santa lists.

Kaitlyn did a good job service wise. Got Grandmas Pankcake breakfast. Sausage was dry, not hot. Ham was too salty. Eggs were not fresh, seemed like they had been sitting for a while.. Pancakes were good but were small for the price. Biscuits tasted fine. Friend got the meatloaf, it did not look appetizing and he did not care for it.

Can't review based on the food due to the host gave a lame excuse that our party of 5, can't be seated because not enough servers. This is 2:00 PM and the restaurant appeared a quart filled. While shopping in the store side, I saw a party of 3 being seated, then a party couple also being seated. My daughter went back to ask the host, why the other parties were seated right away, he gave the same lame answer. I've been to other Cracker Barrel restaurants in Florida and had no problems. Maybe we're from Hawaii, and of mixed races the host has a problem with that.
We had a great experience! Ordered steak and eggs and it came out perfect. The steak was cooked medium rare (how we ordered) and the seasoning was excellent. Will be back!

Food was horrible. I had a grilled chicken salad. The chicken tasted off. The only thing that tasted ok was the salad dressing. The waitress was nice. But had difficulty getting a cup of coffee. Took three tries. Husband food was bland. He said it tasted like mush. I won't eat there again.

Was able to get their hamburger steak cooked less how i like. So it was excellent ...its great hamburger steak but lousy when they cook it like rubber. Green beans were terrible .good waitress. Ordered the peach cobbler it had very little crust and was dried up. But the hamburg steak saved the meal

Great afternoon drive in the country to a familiar place for our craving for southern hospitality and food.
