Disappointed. We drove across town to go to Cracker Barrel thinking that they would have the Thanksgiving dinner offer still going on as on the website. However this particular Restaurant did not. The wait was long even though the restaurant was not full. It seemed to lack proper staffing. Portion sizes were smaller then at other Cracker Barrel restaurants. Biscuits were not fresh and were gummy. The waitress serving us had 3 tables yet drinks were not refilled as needed and we had to request and wait for biscuits and butter long after the food was delivered to the table. Will not be returning to this Restuarant. It would be worth the drive to Hammond to get good Cracker Barrel food and service. It was also a very cold night and the fireplace was not burning. :(

It took a long time to get a table setting for 7 though it was not too busy yet. The kids' food seems fine, but both salads ordered by adults had wilted, inedible greens. Also, we had to ask three different servers for a leftover box before someone brought one to the table. Afterwards, while I took a small child back in to use the restroom, my husband sat in the car with our other four children, and witnessed a waitress performing oral sex in the car a space over. She saw him getting into our minivan with kids and then did it anyway.

Never had a satisfying meal here. The cornbread is like sawdust and the wait is always too long.

Absolutely horrible service. I was here for 11 minutes after I checked in on Swarm before someone asked me if I had been helped. Took another 5 minutes before someone finally helped me.

Worst Cracker Barrel experience ever! Eating a different Cracker Barrels all over the South I have come to expect a certain level from them. This one was well below the bar. When we arrived at noon there was an abundance of dirty tables. The host clean our table herself with us standing there. After waiting a little bit our waitress come over and we placed our order. Thirty minutes later my husband and I were about to leave, we had not even received our drinks yet! We told our waitress that she can cancel our order. She told us that our order was up next. We decided to stay and ended up with less than standard level food. After eating our food in ten minutes we had to leave to make it to our meeting. I would never recommend this Cracker Barrel to anyone.

We ordered to go. The chicken fried steak & greens were great! Would have liked to have ketchup, mustard & mayo with burger though. Fried okra a must! Overall fresh & great food. Love the cornbread!

Wow. I had never been to a Cracker Barrel in my life, so when we headed up to Baton Rouge for the LSU game, we made a point to stop in here. I was told that the breakfast here was amazing (and since we were there at about 8) I decided on the smokehouse breakfast. It comes with: 2 eggs, thick sliced bacon, biscuits with white gravy and grits. When I say it was amazing, I am not lying. In fact, it was SO good I went back the next day and ordered the same thing!! It's a hearty, big breakfast, but it will last you all day. I ate at 8am and didn't get hungry again until dinner. I LOVE that. The restaurant itself wasn't crowded at all and it's connected to a cute store full of "old time" candy, toys, decorations and "knick knacks" that you can pick up as gifts. I am sure that I will definitely be back. I hope to be able to stop in here at least once, every time I am in Baton Rouge for an LSU game. It is the perfect "pre game" place to carb up for a long day.

Terrible experience here. It took 20 minutes to take our order. No one ever gave us menus; I had to find them. Then, it took over 30 minutes for our food to arrive and it was cold. They didn't bring out my daughter's food at the same time - that took another five minutes. And none of us got utensils with our food! No one apologized or checked on us at all during the 30 minute wait. The manager was busy chatting with waitresses and I could never get his attention. Worst Cracker Barrel I've ever been to, and I've been to many of them in several states.

It's a cracker barrel, what do you expect? Southern simple food and nic-nacs for the family to play with... Just ask for the apple butter and fresh cornbread and none will get hurt! And yes.... leave the sweet tea. I found myself here late night when EVERYTHING ELSE IN BATON ROUGE.... was closed. enjoy.

Always an awesome stop. Breakfast served all day. Shop while you wait. Some hard to get items. Food is always very good. Service is good as well. Southern home style cooking.

Bad service. I've been to this one and the one in Gonzales and at both locations I did not feel comfortable. It took an hour for our food to come out BOTH times. The server was awkward and rude. When we talked to the manager at both locations they did nothing. They need new management and new servers. Their food was pretty good but the service makes me not want to go back.

We were seated immediately and outfitted with kiddie seats. Checked on regularly by our server Maggie and the hostess. Maggie made sure our 2 year Olds meal came out before the adults because he was so hungry. It also gave us time to eat our food less distracted. I ordered the chicken and dumplings my husband the rib eye...my husband loved his dish good and hot my on the other hand suffered from sitting longer than it should have while my husband's meal was prepared. Mine was lukewarm and had that solidified gelatin effect happening on my grits and dumpling gravy. I ate it anyway because I was starving. It tasted fine just needed to be hot. I shopped the country store and found a great gift for grandma...and Cheryl in the store rocked my world while she was assisting another customer she manager to greet everyone coming in and also took the time to make sure I was doing okay. When I asked her about a box she gift wrapped it for me. Cute yellow gingham wrapping paper a yellow bow sticker and to/from tag. Super cute!! Maggie:4 stars Cheryl: 5 stars Food: 2 stars The Moon Pies I also bought at the shop- PRICELESS. I would use again for gifting before eating.

Sorry, I forgot my pictures for this restaurant but the pancakes here are GREAT. I would love to rate them a little higher but there's always a long wait to be seated. Honestly, I go there for my pancake fix. My meal was closer to cold then warm (excluding the pancakes and hash browns). Please checkout their hash browns too. The location is off the interstate so I guess it's not to bad. The service is not that good here because they're so packed with customers and under staffed. Multiple people/customers are looking for waiter services.

I ordered a country fried breakfast and they put gravy on everything so when I asked for no gravy they took it back no problem and totally made me a new one love the service

I'm not gonna lie. I love Cracker Barrel, and I wish that they existed in SoCal. I suppose it's a good thing they don't, otherwise I'd load up on deep fried everything far too often. Generally speaking, my CB experiences have been pleasant. Service is usually pretty prompt, food can be relied upon to taste the same or very similar from location to location. This particular location was no different. Waited all of a minute to be seated, then another minute before I was asked what I wanted to drink. Total time spent in the restaurant from arrival to paying the bill was under an hour. Food was what I expected. Good. Sort of gray-ish (due to everything being covered in cheese or gravy .. or both!) If anything could have used a bit of improvement, it was the hash browns, which looked as though they were over done a bit. Didn't stop me from eating them, though.

Perfectly normal Cracker Barrel. Service was friendly, food was what I expected, and prices are on the low end for dining out. They also have some suprising healthy options, like turkey sausages (still cooked in grease) and egg substitute.

This time my boyfriend and I went to the restaurant for breakfast. I had the yogurt with granola and hash brown casserole. I was happy that they actually had it this time and it tasted wonderful. Also the yogurt was so delicious that I am still thinking about it and will order it again! The waiter was also nice and very attentive. Great job!

Apparently we went during a busy time and it was packed ---10 minute wait before being seat but once seated it was its efficient self---menus of breakfast lunch and dinner . Ordered a breakfast meal---holiday sampler---3meats of bacon, sausage patty and ham, plus 2 eggs, cornbread dressing , biscuits with gravy , grits and apple slices. The grits were too runny for my taste and it felt like I bit into a shell with my eggs. Dee was our server and she was nice, polite and responsive.

Cracker Barrel definitely has something for everyone. I love the variety on their menu for both breakfast and lunch. My favorite breakfast item is without doubt the pecan pancakes. A huge portion, packed with pecans and served with warm maple syrup. I usually add crispy bacon. I also absolutely love the complimentary biscuits. You can opt to have a mix with corn muffins ( which are also good), but I usually prefer all biscuits. They are served with real butter and a variety of Dickinson's jams/preserves. Lunch and dinner options are also good -- so many things to choose from. Definitely a great place to get a homestyle meal. I enjoy the hamburger steak with grilled onions and mushrooms, but also like the meatloaf, chicken and dumplings and chicken fried steak. There is an extensive selection of veggies - and my fave is without doubt the Mac and cheese. It is perfect - creamy, cheesy and baked to perfection. I'm usually too full to try out dessert, but have heard good things about the coca cola cake and strawberry shortcake. It is family friendly and very casual. Service is usually decent, but the waitresses usually seem rushed or busy. Overall, great stop and most locations are open 24 hours!

I'm a very fair reviewer. Here is what happened: An almost entirely empty restaurant, and I'm wedged between the obese couple and the annoying kids playing checkers. Drink orders were taken immediately, almost by two people. Then we waited 10 minutes for our order to be taken, in an almost empty restaurant. My reuben had no steak fries, just okra which I subbed for slaw. It also had no cheese. No thanks. Cracker Barrel as a whole, I'll always like.

I enjoyed my pecan pancakes. They were yummy and crisp on the edges. The ham was salty and good. I liked the hashbrown casserole but would have liked more heat (temperature wise). It seemed room temperature. The raspberry lemonade is a MUST try. Both the turkey sausage and the regular sausage patties were dry. The grits weren't too impressive either, waffle house does better in that dept. But still, I will def be back to cracker barrel.
