Cracker Barrel has to be the best restaurant chain to get "country-style" cooked meals for decent prices. Every location I have went to this far has been great, and this location is no exception. I personally usually go to Cracker Barrel on Sundays for their fried chicken special, but any day of the week is truly good for Cracker Barrel. Sometimes, I'll switch it up and get the meatloaf (which can be ordered any day of the week, or as cheaper lunch special with mashed potatoes on a specific day of the week I cannot recall at the moment.) However, fair note to people trying to watch their carbs: they DO have low-carb offerings here, and have a whole section if their menu catered to those looking for a low-carb meal. One would think that a restaurant that specialized in "country-style" cooking would not have a low-carb menu, but they do. Also, there is a disclaimer on their menu for true vegetarians that some of their vegetable offerings are made with meat, like their turnip greens being cooked and mixed with ham ("country-style" cooking.) Normally, I would give a good quality Cracker Barrel location a 4-star rating, but there is something about this specific location that pushed me to give it a 5-star rating. Usually during meal times, Cracker Barrel locations have a waiting list due to limited seating, but not this location. This location has about 5-10 more tables than most of the Cracker Barrel locations I have been. Smart planning! All and all, Cracker Barrel is a good restaurant chain, regardless of the location. And this one has more seating than most!

My 2 sisters and I were visiting Springdale and met 2 friends here for Sunday breakfast. All 5 meals were very, very good. Our server was very attentive to us throughout the meal. The Country Store was packed with all sorts of goodies. It was a fun breakfast.

Well.. Disappointed to say the least and I have eaten at over 10 locations!! 1) When we arrived at our table it was DIRtY! They made us stand there while being cleaned. Only after they called out names and said oop we don't actually have a table for you. 2) my daughters food was cold and hard! 3) my coffee was never refilled or offered. Waited for her to come by and ask or to even flag her down.. She was mia. 4) my grits were cold and had a hard coating. Couldn't eat. My eggs tasted awful. Spoiled? 5) manager was helpful and reduced tab... Bit after waiting 20 minutes for the waitress to even get me my tab? 6) now a few days we are all still suffering from stomach pain that started about 10 hrs after we ate there .

Really enjoyed our lunch. We had the Friday fish fry special. Unlike a lot of places where you get 'the special' the catfish was really good here. It wasn't cooked ahead nor over cooked. The waitress we had was very efficient and really nice. We also had the sweet tea. If you are looking for good 'southern' sweet tea they have it! The restrooms were very clean and for those who need it the handicap restroom was very large. We will certainly stop here again when we are in the area.

Normally I love Cracker Barrel for breakfast. However, at this location for this visit the service was so terrible that we almost walked out. The wait was atrocious, ok it was a sunday. Another waiter took our order after we had been sat for 20 minutes without someone even stopping by for a drink order. All of the tables around us, sat after us mind you, recieved there food first. Our food came out wrong when it did show up. The waitress was like "everything's good right?", no everything was not right but we don't have the time for you to correct it. Piss poor job Cracker Barrel.

If there was negative star I would select it, the worst cracker barrel ever. We love cracker barrel and we have standard meal we like and each time we order the same thing. This time it was the same thing only by menu but it arrived almost cold, chicken had a weird taste, mac n cheese burned out, portions were small which is strange for this place, sides were even smaller. This is the first time we left cracker barrel feeling hungry, service wasn't far from horrible either.... So if you are in Springdale avoid this one by miles radius. I hope I save someone from bad experience

Pretty good memories here. Young and old. This place is a nostalgic restaurant for me. Every time I come here it reminds me of the first time as a kid. Sitting on the rocking chairs and playing with the toys. The food brings it back too. A lot of southern comfort food going on here. Chicken dumplings and waffles with grVy and corn biscuit. Side of bacon with 2 eggs sunny side up. That will fill you up in a way you never have been. You may fall asleep in you chair. This place has a the Yum factor. We came here with our 87 year old grandma. She loves it too. She always gets the chicken pot pie with sweet tea. So funny. Service and staff are really friendly too. Great menu and a great time.

Really? A review of the Cracker Barrel? Sure, why not. Sometimes you have to review just to say that it was what it was supposed to be, which this visit certainly was. Stopping in with Mrs. K. for dinner, we were promptly seated and our orders were taken by a polite "rising star" waiter. He brought the drinks a few moments later. The food was exactly as ordered, though I found the pot roast to be a little too peppery. Otherwise, it was hot, tasty and delicious. No complaints. The French toast (Mrs. K. loves their French toast) was fresh and cooked perfectly. Our experience was perfect for a Cracker Barrel. The usual store and restaurant layout with rocking chairs outside. They just installed PIN readers, for those who prefer to use a debit card rather than a credit card. I assume this means you can get cash back, but I didn't ask.

We went n on a Monday afternoon around 2. Waited a few minutes for our server to come over. She was nice enough but not very attentive. The food was horrible probably the worst meal I have ever had in a restaurant in a long time. My daughter ordered a pancake and it was over cooked and dry. I ordered the tender dinner with broccoli casserole, fries, and applesauce. I gave the applesauce to my daughter. The broccoli casserole was all stems had no flavor and it was cold! The chicken was so dry and hard it hurt my teeth. How could someone feel good about serving that slop to a customer. This location was very disappointing. I want my $40 back! Won't be back.

I love Cracker Barrel and the old country store! I grew up in the South and this is one of the places I miss the most. Fortunately I visit at least once a year and make time for at least one breakfast here. My most recent visit was just a few weeks ago and, as always, I wasn't disappointed. I usually get Grandpa's Country Fried Breakfast - 2 eggs, grits, homemade buttermilk biscuits, gravy, hashbrown casserole (or you can have fried apples), and chicken fried chicken (or you can have country fried steak). Yes, it is enough food to feed a family of 4 but for me it's a once a year treat that I can't pass up! If you go when it's not busy, then make sure you give yourself time to peruse the old country store after you eat. If it's busy then peruse the store while you're waiting for your table. There are lots of great "find." Everyone is ALWAYS friendly but this is a Southern chain so I wouldn't expect anything less.
