Stopped in for dinner and have to give them 5 stars for the service and the food. Jennifer was our server and she was fantastic! I had the roast beef cooked pot roast style with fried okra, fried apples and turnips. Angie had the chicken fried steak with white gravy. After eating we did a bit of shopping and all of the staff and especially the manager were very helpful and cordial. Definitely recommend a stop there if you want good food and good service.

Water is gross. Lol. I'm not from here but it's from the tap and it tastes it. The food was over cooked. Tasted tough and dry. I had the chicken fried steak. My mom had grilled cat fish. Everything was bland. No season. The one in Arlington TX is great. Maybe they're more hit and miss idk.

No. The only thing I *sort of* like about Cracker Barrel is the little store in the restaurant. I like that old time candy and those old time games and all the great Christmas ornaments they put on the pretty Christmas trees at Christmas time in there. Heck, I even like those rocking chairs out in the front of the store. But the food in the restaurant? No. It's boring, bland and often over or (even worse) undercooked. Cracker Barrel reminds me of Piccadilly, but if I'm being honest...I like Piccadilly better (for the record I'm no fan of Piccadilly) .

I love Cracker Barrels, and when traveling, I look for them, since I know that I can count on good food, good service, and a clean, inviting restaurant. And this one didn't let me down. They have a new berry pancake breakfast that includes blueberry pancakes topped with blackberries and raspberry syrup. They were so good! I've learned to ask for my bacon extra crispy since it comes pretty soggy if I don't ask.

Always a consistent meal. When you eat here you know what your getting. The food is good, the service is friendly, and quick. I love the all day breakfast. This is a great value!!!

My Dad and I used to drive all the way from Kenner just to eat here! Food is delicious! Love their pecan pancakes and turkey sausage. Yum yum yum.

Cracker Barrel is just your basic standard country cooking, and SHOULD, in theory, be all good, but this one is not. The last few times I've gone here, it's been around brunch or so and each time, instead of getting french toast or pancakes (almost impossible to mess up), I opted for some lunch entree instead. The last time? HELL NO. We went there wanting pancakes, but got there RIGHT as they were about so serve lunch and me and my lady friend both got fried catfish instead. Catfish? More like.... fried cardboard. Bland as hell. The sides I got were not even worth remembering, because I only remember the buttered corn; or more accurately, the bowl of melted butter half filled with corn kernels. I remember thinking that I could've gotten better fried fish at a Brother's Gas station! And for less dough!!! Service was S L O W W W W W.......... SLOW. I realize there are a bunch of people that like to crowd every Cracker Barrel for their mediocre food and they all need something as soon as possible, but damn. The time before that, I think I got a pot roast or something. Coulda gone to the grocery and got a Marie Colander's pot pie and enjoyed that better. I'll stick to the breakfast. It's hard to mess up stuff like pancakes, french toast, sausage and bacon. BUT.... I'm sure this Cracker Barrel will find a way.

Had breakfast there yesterday, it was terrible! The food was cold and the coffee weak. This is the second time the food was substandard. Will not go there again.

My wife and I have eaten at CB stores all over the South. Every road trip from Mississippi we try to eat at these places because we are familiar with their menu and for the most part all have been consistently good and very reasonable. The Slidell store was the first one we went to years ago and it has been the best one overall for all these years. I don't know how they do it but it is always a good place to eat. You can get breakfast any time of day or night. They have the best sweet tea ever. Forgot to mention that if you like desserts they have very good fruit cobblers.

I had to drive to Slidell tonight and of course it was pouring rain. To my delight the location I was headed happened to be near Cracker Barrel, so of course I had to stop in. It's a nice place to be on a rainy night. There are lots of treats and trinkets to look at in the market. I was so happy to be out of the rain, and I was taking pictures all over the market so the clerk asked if I needed help. I explained I was happy to be out of the rain and there is no Cracker Barrel near my house so I was excited to be able to browse the store. In my browsing I came across the most wonderful item, Lemon Coolers!!!! Those are the best cookies, and I can't ever find them in any store. That alone made my night, I am easily pleased if you can't tell. I was so delighted when I sat down for dinner. Of course I had to order the pancakes because they are consistently the best, and my waitress was delightful and so was the hostess. Even in the bad weather it's always nice to go to Cracker Barrel where everyone is nice and happy to help. I don't get to go often, but I'll be back epically because of the great service!

This use to be one of my favorite places. The food was always consistent, staff was friendly, and we loved to browse the gift shop. Last experience was horrible. Entering - Had to excuse myself to get pass manager & employees blocking gift shop. 1st sales lady very nice, helpful. Decided to eat first then shop. Meal - 3 broken pieces of dumplings & 2 small, questionable tasting pieces of chicken. When I told our server (new), she came back saying manager said I could order something else. He didn't bother to come to the table. No apology. Replacement hamburger steak was unseasoned, no gravy, sitting in a pool of grease. Ate two bites. Yuck. (Yes, I paid full price.) Gift shop part two - asked about price of an unmarked item & directed to % OFF sign above rack. Pointed out items not marked with original price, employee took item to back room, disappearing for 10 minutes. Well it may have been longer, but I left hungry, frustrated & angry. FYI - I did go to their website and commented. Tired paying for bad service.

Try the pecan pancakes! When ever I visit Louisiana I have to come here and have them! The proportions are pretty good especially considering the price. There will be left overs and you can always split a dish with someone.

Cracker Barrel is usually a safe bet when traveling. The food and service are fairly consistent throughout the country, or so I thought. My experience at this particular Cracker Barrel was disappointing. My husband and I arrived around dinnertime after a long day of traveling. We were seated immediately. The waiter came right out and took our order. I ordered biscuits and gravy and bacon. The bacon and gravy came out 15 minutes before the biscuits. It was weird. No one apologized or explained the mix up. However, I was given fresh gravy when the biscuits arrived. During the 15 minute wait for the rest of my meal, I could see the waiter wandering around the kitchen. I have no idea what he was doing back there. The restaurant wasn't overly busy on this particular night, and I don't think the waiter was new. The whole experience felt "off." Once my husband and I finished our dinner, we waited another 10-15 minutes for the check. There are tons of restaurants at this particular exit. I would recommend skipping this one and going elsewhere.

Great food and service in a country style. Better than expected all around. Wait staff is especially attentive and nice to customers.

Cracker Barrel's mission seems to be consistency in the consumer experience from location to location. So with that in mind, this location did not disappoint. Everything was as expected! Easy to get to, plenty of parking, near a bunch of gas stations. Good stop on I-10.

Boy oh boy was I happy to see this familiar sign. Nom nom nom . . . Meatloaf dinner with : Mac & Cheese, Hash-brown Casserole and Mashed potatoes { insert fat kid drool here} Don't get me wrong i eat ate Cracker barrel about once a month but there was something extra special about eating at one in the country. Maybe it was the accent of our server or just the overall country vibe of the place but gosh darn I loved it !

Cracker Barrel. Just the name conjures up driving vacations in years gone past. Nice thing about the restaurant chain, you know what you are going to get any time you stop at one nationwide. Decent food and clean restrooms. The Cracker Barrel in Slidell is no exception (most of the time). I get to this one once or twice a year. The last time I was there, I ordered the chicken fried steak dinner. (Is there any better way to eat a cheap piece of meat then to pound it flat, bread it, and throw in the deep fryer?) The waitress came back and said our orders were almost ready but they had just run out of the white gravy; would I want to wait for them to make some more white gravy or would I like brown? I said OK, brown rather than wait, I was hungry. As I discovered, a mistake. The brown gravy dulled the chicken fried steak experience. It has to be the pepper in the white gravy. I should have changed my order when offered the chance. Considering the number of times I've eaten at Cracker Barrels over the years, one bad experience isn't too bad. I won't complain. I could have ordered my second favorite dinner, the Chef's salad. Like all Cracker Barrels I've ever seen, this one is near the intersection of two Interstates, with easy on and off access and plenty of parking.

Easily the best pancakes and combine with he country ham you have a winner for breakfast served all day. Consistent wherever you go, on the road you can't go wrong with Cracker Barrel.

I am not a fan of their lunch and dinner options but I have yet to find a flapjack that could contend with the sheer awesomeness that is Cracker Barrel's pancakes. Buttery, palate pleasing deliciousness. And that's all I'm gonna say about that...

We were seated pretty quickly. We had three families with lots of kids so that was pretty good that they did that quickly. However, our orders were all mixed up and the waiters forgot to bring many of the things we ordered or asked for. They forgot to give the childrens table biscuits and cornbread. I asked for extra lemons never got it. And I asked twice for honey and the waiter kept forgetting and once she remembered she informed me, they didn't have any???

ROAD TRIP!!!! I am very thankful that there isn't a Cracker Barrel closer to my house, seriously. I only eat there when on a road trip and that is the way it ought to be. I love their breakfast sandwich, which is basically a grilled cheese & sliced tomato sandwich with egg on it. I always get the hash-brown casserole as my side, and then, I am not hungry again for hours. AND, since we only really go there on road trips, we always like to get a book-on-CD for the ride. There is always a rack of options in the store part. They'll put it on your credit card and you can drop it off at ANY other Cracker Barrel USA along the way, refund your money and only charge you $4 to rent the 'book'. Perfect!!!
