We went here for Thanksgiving dinner (2 of us). We were thankful we joined the online waiting list because there was 30+ minutes wait. They were slammed! I saw various groups of people that were accommodated. I ordered the traditional turkey and dressing dinner and my daughter ordered the country fried turkey dinner from their limited dinner menu. I also ordered the chicken n dumplings dinner to see if it tasted any better than my last experience with it...it did not. Chicken n dumplings used to be my go to many years ago. I will no longer order it going forward. The dumplings were stuck together and gooey and tasted like raw flour while the chicken and the gravy were great. The other 2 dinners tasted fine. They ran out of rolls and offered biscuits or other bread options. I had
Always a good choice. Parking lot was clean and issue free, warmly welcomed by the inviting staff upon entry. Wait time to be seated was minimal at best. The biggest problem with Cracker Barrel is deciding what to order as out all sounds good. Lag time from ordering to presentation was minimal, once we got the order correctly dispersed we enjoyed our entire dining experience. Keeping drinks refilled proved problematic but was eventually well managed. Would recommend.
Loved the atmosphere, very welcoming. We have been wanting to visit a Cracker Barrel for quite sometime. Food was alright, the cornbread was tasteless and sad. We were told not to get the white gravy that evening because it was very watery and the kitchen wouldn't fix it. There were 5 of us and and we all ordered separate dishes for an overall feel.
When the family wanted to have a birthday party for seventeen, I knew what was going to happen, but I wanted to go because my elderly grandparents wanted to go there. I knew what was going to happen, and half the party (seated in separate tables of four) had successfully paid before our table even received our food. The waitress was forgetful and inattentive. The food, when it finally came, was pretty good. If we were a small party, I bet everything would've been great. Even though Cracker Barrel isn't suited for large parties, I still like it. Just don't bring a large party and you should be fine.
I was in the mood for a Southern breakfast so we stopped in on Sunday morning. It seems they got rid of Uncle Herschel's breakfast, which is what I always got when I was younger. I opted for Grandma's Sampler with French toast instead and it was good! My hubby had a burger and fries. Apparently, he liked it because he ate it all. This location is typical of all the others--quick service, consistently good food, decent prices, and fast turnover. As far as chain restaurants go, this one has never disappointed me. Don't forget the fried apples! That's my favorite part!
