Amanda was an awesome server! Great food, beautiful decor, very homey. Christmas and Halloween stuff was out, tons of nostalgia, awesome candy! Restrooms were clean. All good came out together, hot, fresh, and delicious!

I’m very aggravated. My dad ordered pick-up for his birthday meal. I asked for the chicken BLT, and once we got home with all the food, and putting the tomato and lettuce on the chicken (cause it was bagged separate too keep from getting soggy) I noticed these fuzzies. I ripped pieces off of my chicken to not eat them. This is very frustrating because this is the only dish I like eating from Cracker Barrel. I’m a little hesitant to eat the rest of my sandwich. I’m definitely not ordering food from here again.

Cracker Barrel is a fantastic restaurant with a cozy, country atmosphere. The food is always delicious, especially the Maple Bacon Grilled Chicken. The staff is so friendly and attentive; they really make you feel at home. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for some comfort food and a great dining experience.

The food was good but the restaurant was dirty. The table was sticky, the bathroom needed to be cleaned desperately, and the restaurant as super noisy. In spite of this, our waitress was friendly and provided good service, and it took a little longer to get seated than it should have. We did have a fair sized party, but I was finished eating my food before the half our party got their food. Three of us got ours first then about 10 minutes later, the rest of the food came out.

I used to eat here a lot I really like their food. It has a ” home-made taste! Unfortunately, their portion sizes kept getting reduced while their prices went up! I understand prices going up considering today’s economy, but decreasing portion sizes is ” double dipping ” in my opinion.

Heather did a great job, she was very nice and courteous, drinks never went dry and food came out in a timely fashion. Manager seated us and was very nice. As always the food was excellent, exactly what we’ve come to expect from any cracker barrel.

We have watched many of our favorite Cracker Barrel restaurants slowly go down hill. We thought it was due to lack of workers after covid. I am very pleased to say if you are looking for the old Cracker Barrel experience this is the place! Whatever management is doing here is RIGHT! Keep it up! We now have a Cracker Barrel with, great service, great food, and friendly smiling faces. Thank you we have a new favorite!

We just finished eating here. It was not busy. The waitress took forever to get our drinks. Then I got biscuits and gravy. Biscuits were lukewarm and the gravy was tepid. My partners food was lukewarm. The waitress never brought us refills. She walked to the lobby twice then waited on the people two tables back saw we were out of water , turned and went back to kitchen I thought maybe to get drinks. But no she didn’t, she came back to wait on the table behind us. Got there drink order and ignored us. Then she brought our check and finally asked if we needed water. Duh. We’d only been out since mid meal. I was finished waiting for my partner to get done 10 minutes later he finished still no refills. So I got up left as I was walking out she started out with water. I said no thanks we’re leaving. My partner said the same. You shouldn’t have to wait 20 minutes on a refill in a mostly empty restaurant.

Per usual, the food was amazing. My chicken was crispy and juicy and the french toast was sweet and delicious. My wife’s meal was equally on point. But the icing on the cake, the absolute best part of the meal, was our server, Terri. She was prompt but not pushy, fast yet smooth. At the end of the meal, we spoke and she touched our hearts in a phenomenal way. We came for meal, and left with full warm hearts. We even hugged goodbye. Incredible, stupendous experience.
