I really have nothing but good things to say about this location. The wait staff are all very friendly and attentive. The food always comes out as ordered, hot and fresh. Great place for breakfast or dinner.

It's your average Cracker Barrel.. I visited this place with my sister. She got the old timers breakfast and I got the chicken and dumplings which was amazing:) I was full when I left I can say that. They could use a little more delightful people as servers. But other than that it was ok

Normally don't review but was traveling and would want to know. For a extremely busy Sunday and time the seating was a little slow. However the food made up for the speed. I have eaten at lots of Of Cracker Barrels but this was one of the better ones. Food was great for this chain. Staff was busy but still friendly in the area looking for one this is it.

Cracker Barrel has gone down hill . The casserole is dry as the biscuits are smaller than they use to be . Over all Cracker Barrel become horrible disappointment !

I have probably been to 30+ Cracker Barrels in my travels as I particularly enjoy their fried okra. This one spot just kind of comes up short of our previous stores somehow. We happened to come on a random Thursday morning to find my favorite breakfast (multigrain French toast) had been taken off the menu. I opted for a "lighter" breakfast this go round -- I believe it was called the "Good Morning Breakfast" with scrambled egg beaters, turkey bacon (or sausage), fruit, sliced tomatoes, and cheese grits. I asked for no cheese on my grits and the waitress proceeded to ask me if I wanted cheese on my eggs... Ummmm no. I asked for no cheese before... But anyway. Hubs got the Mama's French toast (with sourdough) with all the sides. Our waitress returned shortly after we ordered to ask me how I would like my eggs... note from the description that it said it was "scrambled egg beaters" ... anyway. When our food arrived, my eggs were 'regular' eggs (scrambled). Our waitress apologized and brought me an extra (tiny) fruit cup to make it up to me. Of note, our check was presented at the same time as the food was served which was kind of odd to me. We had the day off and were not in any kind of hurry, nor did we indicate we needed to jet. We even wanted a piece of my husband's favorite cake (Coca-Cola Chocolate cake) to go...so we had to ask for her to adjust it. Coffee was topped pretty often so can't complain there. Service just wasn't as syrupy sweet like I am used to from previous experiences.

If you ever need Thanksgiving dinner and don't want to cook, get it from here. We didn't cook this year, so we ordered a whole dinner. It was price better than other places and you get a lot more. The only problem was getting to the counter to pay. I don't know her name but the lady pulling the orders was great. She was checking the orders and notice a few things. She made sure the kitchen fixed the error and made up for the mistake. She was friendly and wanted to make sure our dinner was right.

I ate here for breakfast yesterday for the first time and everything was exceptional. I ordered the biscuits and gravy meal with sausage patties and a side of hash brown casserole. The portion sizes were more than enough and everything is very tasty, especially the hash brown casserole. It has cheese, onions and black pepper. It is to die for. Our waitress was extremely friendly and on top of her game. Very quick service.

We've eaten at many Cracker Barrels over the years and we've always had a very positive experience, but not at this one. We ate a late afternoon dinner there three days ago. Firstly, the hostess could barely be bothered to bring us to a table - and considering that the place was nearly empty, it might have been nice if she'd asked us where we wanted to sit. Immediately after we sat down, it was obvious the lighting was horrendous everywhere (we could barely even read the menus), so we moved to a table by the windows. After we'd ordered, an elderly couple sat at a table next to us (and let me preface this by saying I have an elderly mother & an elderly aunt and I'm not exactly young myself, so I'm not casting aspersions against the elderly). Shortly thereafter, one of the servers lowered all of the window shades and that left us practically in the *dark* (as it was, the sunlight was very muted and therefore it only provided weak light). We protested, and she told us that couple told her to lower the shades (hey, do you think it might be nice if you asked the OTHER people sitting by the windows if they wanted their shades lowered?!). We raised our window shade (they were large) and then the female half of the elderly couple became very nasty. Nasty elderly woman: "What are you DOING?!!" Me: "I'm raising our window shade so we can SEE!!" NEW: "I can't STAND sitting by sunlight!!" Me: "Then why did you sit by a WINDOW?!! This place is nearly EMPTY and you could sit ANYWHERE!!" NEW: "FINE; I know when I'm not WANTED!" Me: "Hey, if the shoe fits...." After that lovely experience (they moved far away from the windows [good riddance!]), we had an always-tasty/always a bargain Cracker Barrel dinner (we had the salmon patties, which came with two sides [we chose their always-delicious cole slaw, which was a generous serving - and I had a sweet potato which was small & just "o.k.", and my husband had hash browns which were good]. We were also given two/each of their always-delicious biscuits and corn muffins, for a grand total of only $7.69/each plus tax). Although I love sufficiently-attentive waiter service, our server took that to a whole new level; he was *constantly* asking if everything was o.k. and it became really annoying after awhile (let me please swallow my food before you ask me yet again!). When we were nearly finished eating, another elderly couple (sitting far from the windows) told a server to lower (all of) the window shades and the same routine commenced, so we quickly scarfed down our remaining food and beat a hasty retreat. The cashier was friendly, for what it's worth....

Cracker Barrel rarely disappoints. First of all, I love the country store! Some things are overpriced but there are always deals and they carry some really unique items. The selection of candy alone is enough to impress. The wait for a table is usually fairly short and the menu offers a lot of options. I recommend the sweet tea to drink. Biscuits and gravy are great in the morning. Meatloaf, dumplings, chicken, and fish are all good options for dinner. Prices are very reasonable and the overall feel and taste is very 'down home country cooking' - reminds me of my grandma's kitchen!

This isn't about the food so I can't give it five stars cause that just wouldn't be fair. But did you know you can "rent" books on tape here? Awesome!! Buy the book and then when you return it at any Cracker Barrel, they will credit your account minus the $3 it costs for the rental time. Sweet!

Gawd, I love Cracker Barrel. I don't...want to, really. There's the insufferable double entendre of the name (or so I'm convinced, and I mean, really: it is a little funny). Then there's the wretched store that blocks the path to every dining area, cluttered with the same chinsy glass "parlor" lamps, porcelain dolls and cloying Americana crap. The fake "antiques" that cover every latticed wall from floor to ceiling. The eighty million rocking chairs outside that are supposed to create some kind of homey, Grandma's porch feel. Like anyone really buys this. But.... The food. Oh my God, the food. So wrong, and yet so right. The dumplings alone are like a little slice of heaven. The fried apples? Glorious. The mashed potatos? Just thinking about them makes me happier. Vegetarians, steer clear. Even if your food doesn't contain meat, it was undoubtedly fried or otherwise cooked with animal fat. For the rest of us, however, this is a very good thing. You'll feel disgusting after eating here. You'll feel wrong, guilty, greasy and demoralized. And yet, you'll come back again. It can't be stopped.

Oh, how I miss you, 'ole CB. Every Friday morning in high school, we met for breakfast before heading to HSE, filling up on fried eggs, biscuits and gravy, grits, hash brown cassarole, and coffee. I still stop by after all these years whenever I visit Fishers, and I'm never disappointed. Granted, I stick to the breakfasts... the other meals don't look as appetizing. There are no CBs in all of California... the closest one is in Yuma, Arizona. I might as well fly to Indy, it'll take me less time than to drive to Yuma.

It's the same ol, but this restaurant sucks because it still has a very large smoking section. Since it is technically in Hamilton County, it is legal, but there is no other CB on the northeast side. There are maybe ten tables at the most in the "nonsmoking" section and they might as well be in the middle of the smoking section. No attempt at ventilation or separation is made. It was quite irritating to our eyes and lungs and the little one definitely noticed and voiced her displeasure. Never again.

I am getting worried that I've become addicted to Cracker Barrel's breakfasts. Their golden pancakes haunt my taste buds. How do they get them to be so fluffy and the edges so crispy? *sigh* The bacon is also top notch. Service was fast and friendly, and my cup of coffee never got empty.

This is a pretty good Cracker Barrel. Always good service and always an easy drive to get there. The food is average Cracker Barrel but predictable. Good breakfasts, good fried catfish, and always helpful waitresses ready to provide refills ASAP. I've been going there for years. Usually a clean restaurant but it does get busy.

I am like a moth to the flame when it comes to this place. I never ate here until I was in college--my parents told me that this chain has been in trouble for racial discrimination. But once I went here once, I was hooked. I can't help it. And I've never had a bad experience at any Cracker Barrel location so I feel much better about the discrimination issue. ANYWAY, there is not a single CB in the entire state of California so whenever I'm in Indpls. I hit up this location for a country breakfast. I have taken so much crap from ppl over my love for Cracker Barrel, but they just don't appreciate a stick to your ribs sort of meal. A girl cannot breakfast on egg white omelettes and crepes alone. The pancakes here are amazing, the hash brown casserole is great, the turkey sausage is one of my favorite breakfast meats, and they are really good at accommodating requests. I don't order the biscuits and gravy but I've tasted them and they were great too. I will say I did get an eye-roll here while dressed [and acting like] a California weight- conscious chick [I wanted everything on "the side"] but it all came out perfectly and if I were a waitress I would have rolled my eyes at me too.
