"Great great service the staff is really friendly. The food was good a 3.5 out of 5. The inside is really nice the place clean that's always a plus. The staff super nice makes you feel welcomed. The eggs I ordered was scrabble but the shell was still in there if it was really small I wouldn't mind, I make eggs it happens but it was a dime size yeah that I had to say something. I wasn't upset because it happens so they also where nice and changed my eggs. So all In all a great place. A good 3.8 out of 5 I'd go back. But ask for over easy eggs and the sausage cooked a little more."

"We had a giftcard for Cracker Barrel so we decided to grab dinner there last night and I'm so glad we did. We started with fried pickles and they were so hot and fresh. Very crispy and great in the ranch. We both got the country fried chicken which comes with two huge pieces of fried chicken. My lady got corn, mashed potatoes and dumplins. Corn was sweet, very tasty. Dumplins were hot and delicious. The mashed potatoes that we both got with brown gravy were amazing. I got the hash brown casserole that was a little overcooked but I liked the crispy hash brown bits personally. I also got the Mac and cheese which was super creamy and delicious. Now on to these two huge pieces of chicken, wow. They were crispy and crunchy. The batter was very tasty and stayed on the entire time. We got the Sawmill (white) gravy on the side so that it didn't make them soggy. So much chicken that we both were able to take one piece home. Everything was hot and fresh including the biscuits they brought out which were awesome in the gravy btw. Very hot and fluffy. Our server Rena was the absolute best and made our dining experience 10x better. She was very on point, stayed on top of drink refills, brought us extra sauces super fast, checked on us regularly, and always had a smile on her face. If you go in, ask for her! She was awesome and I hope the management at Cracker Barrel knows it. Anyway, everything was 11/10 for us. We left full with plenty of leftovers and big smiles."

"Cracker Barrel trusted for dependable classic comfort food. chicken n dumplings - meatloaf and maple bacon chicken for the win! Chicken tasted a bit frozen and reheated and green beans tasted canned .. but still a fav!"

"Really love the food with authentic old style American. My classic fried chicken was perfect. When we were there the server only by herself on lunch time. Took more than 15 minutes to get drinks and biscuit. And the foods came take too long. That's only concern management need put action. Other than that love Cracker Barrel."

"Menu changes constantly, which is frustrating. Prices are rising constantly as well, moreso than other food establishments. Need more veggie choices besides high carb options, like squash, black eyes, cabbage, etc. Bring back jalapeño skillet cornbread, please. Take away extra pricing for sweet potatoes, salads, and other side "premium" side dishes, making improved selections for a variety of sides."

"Wonderful food, excellent service, great prices for good home cooking! We had the amazing pot roast that is cooked 14-16 hours and is so tender. My husband had the pork chops. Both were amazing!! Another treat is to experience one of the most wonderful gift shops. Great place to buy thoughtful gifts and cards. So much fun!!!"
