The radio add indicated that buttermilk pancakes here have crispy edges. My pancakes did not have crispy edges. 👎🏼 Our waitress did not speak her name when she approached the table which is understood to be a customary practice in Western cultures: to greet diners by stating your name. 🤔 When I ordered my second order of pancakes delivered, my waitress did not remove the first plate, and when she returned to the table with the second plate of pancakes, she was about to put the plate of pancakeson top of the first plate, but I snatched the finished plate away so she could the second plate on the table. She definitely had a chance to remove two plates before she returned to the table with second plates, but did not. I attribute that possibly to poor training from management. 🤔 My friend n

The service from the waitress was great however the seating hostess seated under a fan and when asked to move to the other side because we were feeling cold she said that side was closed but never offered to move us to any other tables on the open side where the fans were turned off there were a few. Out of all the food we ordered most were very salty, i always get their meatloaf and that was delicious.

This is my first visit to a cracker barrel, and I was only here because someone gave me a gift card... about 5 years ago. The front door greeters were very pleasant, though they immediately mentioned I should consider signing up for a membership. The waiter was pleasant, but he's young. After presenting to him a sodium problem, he gave me the same blank stare that my 18-year-old does. Sodium here matters because all the butter was salted, and so is the chicken marinade, that I was actually trying to avoid. All I wanted was plain grilled chicken. But I guess I couldn't have that. He did try though, bringing me plain broccoli and an untouched baked potato. Two things I did not have were sugar for my iced tea and coffee, nor did I have any napkins. The biscuit was uncooked dough. If I squishe

★★★☆☆ 3.0 J. Ranger · Nov 2024

I love the theme and all the cool memorabilia that is all around the place. The gift shop has some really things, from oversized candies to clothing items, and a lot of other fun things for all age range. The atmosphere was family friendly. However, the food was not as flavorful as I would have anticipated. Not only did it take a while but also a few hiccups happened during the wait for our meal and our order in general. The server was really pleasant and was courteous enough to extent some apologies for any shortcoming.

★★★★★ 5.0 Stephen Combs · Feb 2026

We recently ate at Cracker Barrel, and without hesitation, this was probably one of the best Cracker Barrel experiences we’ve ever had. From the food to the service to the overall atmosphere, everything was top-notch from start to finish. The food alone deserves high praise. We ordered the fried chicken and the chicken and dumplings, and both were outstanding. The fried chicken was perfectly cooked — crispy, golden, and well-seasoned on the outside, while still juicy and tender inside. It tasted fresh, not greasy, and clearly made with care. The chicken and dumplings were just as impressive: rich, comforting, and full of that classic homestyle flavor Cracker Barrel is known for, but taken up a notch. The dumplings were soft and hearty, and the chicken was plentiful, not skimpy. We didn’t h
