If you like Cracker Barrel then you will love this one. The staff is always awesome, the food is hot and just what I ordered. A++++++

This restaurant was so charming! There are cute little rocking chairs on the porch of the restaurant. When you walk in, there is a cute little souvenir shop with candies, nicknacks, and clothing. When you walk through the restaurant, it feels so homey. I walked by a nice fire place and was greeted by every waitress. The pricing is far for the amount of food you get, and you can also substitute your pork sausages and bacon or Turkey (which is awesome because I'm not much of a pork fan). Our waitress LoriAnn was great! She was very helpful with our orders, and brought us extra biscuits! I would recommend this place to anyone!

Slow and unfriendly - stopped at 1:30 on a weekday and they had come unglued. Plenty of empty tables but still a 20 minute wait for 2 people. Hostess mispronounced by name when calling it and nearly gave the table away - then got an attitude when I asked about it.

We just had a great breakfast by the warm fire. Michelle V. Was very friendly and helpful. I didn't know they give all you can eat biscuits and gravy and grits. I think I ate to much.

It seems Cracker Barrel is always a solid bet when travelling. A nice home style restaurant in contrast to the multitudes of fast food joints when on a road trip. Food is consistent and tasty. Manages to taste fairly home cooked (even though I suspect it is fairly mass produced) and the serving sizes are generous. But my favourite part of a trip to cracker barrel is always the service. I have yet to have poor service from any Cracker Barrel wait staff and this was no exception. Smiley, friendly, attentive but not intrusive. A very pleasant experience.

This place has its ups and downs. I came in this evening for lunch had a surprise in my food. A piece of long paper. It was disgusting. All they did was apologize. No refund or exchange of food. I will never come to this location again unless I am starving to death and they are giving out free food.

Have only visited a few cracker barrels around but this has been the cleanest and tastiest. Service was fast and friendly. Order was warm and delicious. We felt a little rushed by our waitress. (We did visit on a Sunday and there was a wait for tables but you still should not have placed down the check with our plates barely coming out of the kitchen) The gift shop was where we waited for our table. Cute seasonal stuff the workers walking around trying to hustle people into buying wraps and "buy three get one free!" Ornaments was pretty funny to me but I could see that getting annoying for others.

Just another Cracker Barrel. Not a bad place, but not the best breakfast, but it works. The prices are good in here, but the service always seems to be lacking.

Cracker Barrel is always a good choice for good ole American food especially when on the road. Breakfast is normally my preferred meal, but they have some pretty good dinner dishes too. I especially like their sourdough bread and grits. Being from Florida, I get a craving for grits every now and then, but it's hard to find up here in the Midwest. Thank goodness for Cracker Barrel. Service is generally good, though expect hickups every now and then when really busy. Usually the waiters and waitresses with 4 stars on their aprons are very good. This doesn't mean less than 4 stars can't give you great service, because there are ones that have been very good.

Staff here is always friendly. It's also one of the only places we can take our small children because they can pass the time in the store, or playing checkers. The menu is affordable for a family of 5, and we never walk away hungry.

The food was hot and tasted great. The service was quick and friendly. They would have earned 4 stars except when I went to buy a loaf of Sourdough bread at the checkout they tried to give me bread that had a date 4 days prior written on it. Where else can you get a decent sized portion of biscuits and gravy with excellent bacon for $4.50 though?

Great place, home cooked meal from scratch

So yes, it is a chain but it is so cute. The people are super nice, you get to pass the time away by the fireplace with the little games and checkers and the food is standard southern fare. I want to rave about that coca cola cake though. That is such a great chocolate cake. The roast beef was pretty awesome too, tender, covered in gravy - yum

Cracker barrel we finally meet! After years of hearing of hearing about this place I finally made it over from California. I don't know why we don't have this there because if they did I would be there all the time. I'll be honest my interest was peeked when Gary and Amber from Teen Mom has a cracker barrel meal by moonlight and ever since that day I needed to come here. Well it was everything I could hope for and more. Nothing fancy but definitely a very friendly crowd and good food. Awesome biscuits!

oooh I like the store part and breakfasts are really good too!! This place is always busy. The prices are good and it feels very cozy here esp. with the big fireplace!!

My family loves Cracker Barrel compared to the likes of Ihop, Denny's, etc. You can actually glance around their store while waiting to eat so the wait times don't seem long at all. The food is great and the old country restaurant feel makes you feel at home. I really recommend Grandpas Country Fried Stake and their Biscuits & Gravy.

Of the many Cracker Barrels through the Chicago and Merrillville areas this is truly the easiest off/on from an expressway. Sadly their service is so slow that the time inside the restaurant is the longest of any local CB. While we've been here a number of times in the last year and weren't always impressed with the service, we still liked it for easy access and good food. Our last two visits had the slowest service and the food has dropped in temperature, drink refills have disappeared, and the portion sizes have dropped in size. Service from our waitress this last time (Linda) was wretched. Asking for honey for biscuits or replacement eggs when the over easy arrived broken and fried through, was a true attitude experience. Is honey so expensive that they now deny it to customers? It seems so. There seem to be plenty of staff and an abundance of management. Things should be flowing so much easier here than what the reality is. Managers shouldn't be standing and laughing but making table rounds and checking kitchen quality. Seems the whole process is broken, not just a waitress or two not on the ball. The restrooms are typical here. Nothing awful or special. The store portion is well stocked and merchandised. But we come here to eat and only occasionally buy something unique from the store. I hope when we try this location in a couple months that things have improved. Otherwise we'll be stopping at a different CB.

My grandparents and I go here whenever I visit them. I always get the chicken tenderloin dinner, and okra- I love the okra. The lemonade isn't very good, IMO, but kids would probably like it. The little shop in front has a lot of cute seasonal stuff- when I was little grandpa always gave me a little money to pick something out. This is a great place for families, not a great place for dates though. A little noisy.

This restaurant was PACKED out on a Sunday afternoon, but the wait was only 20 minutes. We experienced a wonderful, friendly, hard-working staff that really made us feel at home in one of our favorite restaurant chains. Can't beat northern southern-style down home cooking!
