Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

We have been to many many Cracker Barrels over 30 plus years and I have to say this one is memorable - because it was "dirty" and the food was "sub par". The table next to us was cleaned by a worker who left a lemon and paper from the straws on the table, food and crayons on the floor, menu on the floor etc. My husband and I sat there for most of our meal looking at this mess (I have pictures). The bathroom trash was overflowing with hand towels, soap residue on the sink. We could not wait to leave. Upon paying the cashier asked how everything was, I told him " Not Good"...he did not ask me what was wrong!! Why bother asking me? I guess they only know how to respond to positive feedback. We will never go back to that Cracker Barrel again.

EDIT: My first impression was not good. But in less than a week the manager reached out to us and provided us with a very nice lunch to make up for their mistake. Service was friendly and helpful, and the food was fantastic. I unfortunately did not get the name of the 2 managers I spoke with today but they are doing a wonderful job. I look forward to returning. First impression: ATROCIOUS! COLD, MISSING FOOD. UNCOOKED, DISRESPECTFUL MANAGER. Absolutely the worst ever. Ordered delivery so my husband didnt have to go anywhere on his ONLY day off and we get delivered the worst meal ever. Missing food, cold and uncooked meat and Absolutely RUDE management.

Food quality has complete fallen apart. Been here twice in Jan 2026 for breakfast. Both times the biscuits were beige and borderline raw. Last trip my chicken-fried steak was soaked in old, dirty grease that left a mess all over the plate. Won't go back unless they can do better. I miss when Cracker Barrel was a go-to spot with quality for a reasonable price.

My experience was pleasant. Even managers assisted me in retail finding a candle. My server Zander was spectacular and very attentive. Our food was delivered very quickly. We had a delicious breakfast. :)

My server Zander was every professional and nice got the food out in time. Managers were also helpful mostly John he helped me pick out a candle.
