Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

We stopped to enjoy dinner on 2/16/26 arriving around 5:00 pm at the Athens, AL location. My husband ordered Mama’s Breakfast which was good. I ordered a vegetable plate - you were out of slaw and out of fried apples. In addition we wanted to purchase two take home $5 dinner specials - you were out of meatloaf. Finally I wanted to enjoy my Birthday Reward - Chocolate Cake which you were also out of. There were other guest around us sadly learning you were out of so many favorites! Just saddened the meal went in that direction. Left feeling disappointed. The highlight was our PRECIOUS server Anna Avery!! She was attentive, personable, gracious when explaining all the items we were requesting were not available. She served with a smile, kept our drinks full and was the best part of ou

Our server was Alex and she was fantastic (If available i would give her 10 stars). Very professional while being personable /friendly. It was so good we returned 2 days later only to have another awesome server Amanda. I would repeat my earlier sediments but don't want to be redundant! The whole staff was awesome. One of the managers approached us to make sure we were happy and we could not sing the praises of the team enough. My wife even commented "now that is a good manager checking on customers". I'm sure that her team is just following her excellent example!

Checked in at 1159, seated at 1220. Our waiter was great, but the time it took to get our food was horrible. There were only 2 in our party. I had the Grandmas breakfast platter, and she had mac and cheese Buffalo chicken. It was well after 1pm when we finally received our food. Several others that were seated around us, after we sat down, had already sat, ate, and left before we even received our plates. Our food didn't even come out at the same time. I rarely give bad reviews, and I understand things happen, but there was no sense in it taking that long to get what we had ordered. Again, not blaming the waiter. He was great!

Great experience at the Cracker Barrel in Athens, AL. I was so happy they had impossible sausage as an option! Food, service, and coffee was excellent! My waitress, Amber, was very warm and attentive. If you’re passing through Athens definitely check this place out !

We picked up Thanksgiving lunch at this Cracker Barrel and were very happy with the quality and the ease of preparation. My wife had a stroke and therefore was unable to prepare the big meal. I was also unequipped to do so. So, having a delicious alternative that I could manage simply by putting items into the oven or on the stove top was quite nice. The decision to appeal to both stuffing and dressing eaters with the dressing was smart. The quality of the turkey breast was high. The texture of the cranberry sauce was great. The rolls reminded me of Sister Shubert, which I love. Just a great overall experience. The only minor negative was waiting 15 minutes beyond the allotted pickup time before someone came out to assist me. But everything else was fantastic.
