Repeatedly slow service for lunch. The food comes out like it was sitting under a hot light or in an oven to keep it warm. The waitstaff could at least stop by and refill drinks while we wait for over 45 minutes for simple breakfast. For how long it takes to get your food we could drive further and hit any number of diners/breakfast joints and still get back to work quicker. Very disappointed! It's not like their food is anything special. They don't even serve real maple syrup. It is nearly 50/50 high fructose corn syrup.

We never got waited on, so I had to after a really long time ask the hostess to get us something to drink . I ordered the roast beef with choice of 3 sides . The roast beef was tasty , however very very small portion mashed potatoes were runny , the corn good and the baked apples were the best I have ever tasted. Corn muffin good. My daughter liked her grilled cheese. I only gave one star mostly due to waiting so long and being embarrassed that nobody ever came to wait on us .

Very good food and service. Consistent every time. Best pancakes I've ever had here. Just don't go to Brighton CB, they can't even make the coffee right.

Consistent food, service always friendly and efficient. Enjoy stopping there when traveling back, kind of a home cooked meal away from home.

Love Cracker Barrel! My favorite thing to get is the fried okra! I have been craving the fried okra for five years and I was not disappointed! The chicken and dumplings are also pretty amazing! And then their blueberry pancakes with the blueberry syrup...oh goodness..so delicious! And there is also always something to do! There are little table games and then the huge checkers board! That is always fun! :D

I'll come right out and say that I'm not a fan of Cracker Barrel. A lot of family members and coworkers love this restaurant, but I don't care for it. The merchandise is pretty neat, but I don't care for the backstory or the constant country music they have playing on loop. Despite this, there is always a CB in walking distance of whatever hotel my company is staying at and people always recommend going there. I'm trying really hard to not be anti-social, so I go. Heck, I even suggested we go to this one since no one could decide on what to have for lunch. Our waitress was so nice. She really was. And the man who rung us up was nice, too... And that's where it stops. I ordered some uncle-bob-cousin-tom nonsense that had steak, eggs, and hash. The eggs and hash were okay, but the steak was tough. Getting your steak medium means it should be nowhere near tough. It was tasty, but chewy chewy chewy. I also got some baked apples... Ugh. I dunno. Maybe my tastebuds are off or something, but they were nasty and so was the gravy for the biscuits. My coworker got something smothered in sausage gravy and ended up scraping it all off. The eggs and hash were the stars of the dish. T_T How sad is that? I know not a lot of places can do grits justice and I wish they would just admit it. Cracker Barrel, why? My grits were lump-tastic and watery. If they just had a little patience and worked that water into the grits, they would have been great. My coworker just laughed at me when I was forking through the lumps, telling me that's why she ordered double apples, but the apples weren't good either. D: And no free re-fills on orange juice? You let me down, CB. Let me down hard.

We don't usually eat at the CB, but 95 yr old Mom wanted to go after a long day spent moving her to a new condo. The service was, as usual, very good. Our server Alice went out of her way to make sure mom (who is very hard of hearing) could understand her and got what she wanted. Two thumbs up, Alice! The food was what we have come to expect from CB, good quality and good portions, Mom and the wife loved the Bar-B-Que Apple Chutney stuff and the sides remind me of my Grandma's southern style cooking. Weight Watchers it isn't!

This was our first (probably last) time in a Cracker Barrel. The waitress was the only good experience yesterday. She was friendly, helpful and fun. The food though was cold, everything tasted "smoked" and we had someplace to be so we didn't bother asking for it to be redone. I don't mind if my toast is cold but the pancakes, the eggs, the bacon, the hashbrown casserole, the ham, the sausage.. literally everything was cold. The butter couldn't even melt on the pancakes.

A pretty basic casual restaurant on par with say ... Denny's, but it's all the antiques and fun adjacent shop that make it a 4 star instead of 3 star experience. The shop contains a fun variety of retro and nostalgic merchandise that is fun to look and and affordable to purchase. Lots of toys and candy! Even DVDs of old movies and tv shows!

Very friendly staff and very little wait time between ordering and receiving the food...first time here and it won't be my last! Did I mention less the $25 for two entrees and drinks? Awesome!

I am a food safety expert that ate at Cracker Barrel #517 on Feb. 10, 2014. I ordered the lunch special chicken, green beans and salad. Both the chicken and green beans were just warm and not at the min. 140 degree F for food safety. I ate one bite of my chicken and asked for a box (I will take it home and heat to the proper temperature). I also noticed Britney playing with her hair and not washing her hands prior to wait on tables. I saw a young man rubbing his nose and playing with his beard and not washing his hands. I asked for a manager on my way out and stated my concerns. She simply stated, "I should have made the complaint while eating and they could have done something about it." I paid my bill and will never return to a Cracker Barrel again.

This place has a cool old-time feel and some delicious food. I had the Berries & Buttermilk breakfast (which I think is seasonal...blueberry pancakes topped with fresh blackberries and served with raspberry syrup) and it was great! Their hash brown casserole is so good. My parents had the chicken pot pie and said it was very good. If you're looking for a good breakfast or some comfort food at really good prices, this is your place!

I have eaten here before. I had catfish, it was fine, food was ok, nothing to complain about. Clare M was our waitress, I couldn't hear her or she was mumbling,?? She was just ok.

The one thing I like about Cracker Barrel is consistency. Same clean and comfortable decor. Same good food (nothing spectacular, but always good) Same great service. Same great value. This location did not deviate from what I like about CB. One fo these days I going to buy one of those rocking chairs in front.
