⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars, Without Hesitation I rarely give five stars across the board, but this Cracker Barrel truly earned every single one. From the moment we walked in, we were treated with such kindness and care. The hostess, our waitress, the gentleman clearing tables, and even the ladies at the checkout counter in the store area all made my husband and me feel genuinely welcomed and seen. That kind of hospitality is rare, and it did not go unnoticed. The food was absolutely delicious, comfort food done right, and we were pleasantly surprised when they let us know about the military discount, something our own local Cracker Barrel has never mentioned. That extra thoughtfulness meant a lot to us. There is some construction happening on the main highway nearby, but honestly, it was a n

This is a good location. The service was prompt and the food and drinks were good. The only disappointment was the hashbrown casserole. Normally it's very good. I ordered it at dinner so I'll only get it at breakfast moving forward so that it's not dried out.

We waited a long time for food. When it came, my wife's biscuits were missing as well as my toast. A bit later we got them but I got bread, not toast. When we were chasing out, we were asked if everything was OK. As we said it wasn't good, she didn't even hear us. We actually said did you hear what we said, and she said no. Such bad service. I will NEVER go here again. Avoid it & find some place else.

Because we travel, we often stop at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store. My husband asked if I wanted to stop. I told him it's winter and the CBOFS usually have their fires going. Seeing I'm allergic to so much, burning wood is one and strong smells. The minute we walked in the door, it smelled nice. No fire, I was relieved. Then walking right past the fireplace low and behold, there one was just a blazing. BUT I couldn't smell it, no nose alerts. No smoke smell at all. So THANK you, THANK you They have a new menu. I got a marriage of shepherds pie meets hashbrown casserole. Instead of mashed potatoes, they used hashbrowns casserole and pot roast beef, gravy, carrots, and peas. My honey had the grandpa breakfast. which used to be my favorite. We've had just about everything thing on the

I’ve never had such a bad experience at Cracker Barrel. We waited about an hour to be seated, and over an hour for our food. The server barely paid attention to us, all while the manager walked around watching everyone with his tablet in hand and no urgency. When we got our food, it was cold. Not to mention, I ordered pancakes, and they are half the size they used to be, and with no volume! Our drinks also barely got refills. Probably once. Absolutely horrible experience and I won’t be back. If this is how you manage a restaurant, I’m surprised they’re still in business. I do not pay to go out to eat to experience this. They should close for being this bad.
