Cracker Barrel

We stopped by on the way to VT. This was the first time at a Cracker Barrel for us. The store was wonderful with many great items to see and buy. Then we went to the restaurant. Our server was amazing and our biscuits were delicious! The food came out fast and hot. However beside the biscuits, the rest of the meal was just a normal chain restaurant quality food. Overall we had a good time and would stop by again for another visit if we drive by again for breakfast!

I love going to this restaurant. All the food I’ve had here is delicious! Biscuits and cornbread served before meals are great. My favorite food is probably chicken dumplings! Yum! I also enjoyed the combo meal to try a few things with ham, meatloaf and chicken and 3 sides, I had plenty of food to bring home for left overs! The atmosphere is so neat with old country items on walls, a nice large fireplace and a store to buy great gifts which helps my 3 year old behave nicely at dinner table knowing he could get a prize from mommy and daddy in the store after meal.

First time coming here the tater tots were my fav had good flavor and love the ranch dipping sauce. The eggs with the hash needed more flavor. I added salt, pepper, ketchup to the hash and it tasted better. Definitely liked the crunchiest corner of the pancakes it would have been perfect if the butter came on the side so you can dip it into it. Love the syrup nice hot and fresh and the bottle it came in. This place got some potential. Like the country theme they have. Very interesting. I came a second time around and omg this tasted better than the last food I had. The steak, eggs with the grits, fried apples I did one substitute and got tater tots.

The Store: What a cool little shop to go to. They definitely have many unique items that I haven't seen in any other retail stores. The ceiling decor is wild. I would go back again to see what is new for sale in the future. The only fault is they're pricey, so be prepared to drop a few extra bucks. The Restaurant: I have mixed feelings on it. The plus side is the staff is nice, the area is clean, the decor is like no other, and service was timely. My steak was cooked at perfect temperature - always a huge plus. The lemonade is phenomenal. The worst that stood out to me would be the green beans looked like it came out of a very dated can. The texture was mush, the appearance was nauseating, and the taste is exactly what you think it would be; disgusting. When the bread was served we were told they had no plates so we were handed some napkins. The eating area wasn't even half full so I found that to be odd. I also noticed some Servsafe issues when handling cups and plates. A server should always be trained properly to avoid cross contamination. That's day 1 for every restaurant. Because of the store part I'll give a very generous 3 stars. I would probably visit another location again in the future. It just wouldn't be my first choice if I was going to do so.

Our impromptu visit here was delightful and enjoyable. We strolled in as a party of 3, there was no wait so we were immediately sat and soon thereafter greeted by our server. He has somewhat of a savoir fair which complemented the country elegance of the atmosphere. Sufficed to say, we were wholely satisfied upon departure. Our tip to our attentive server reflected this accordingly. High expectations were satisfied! You should give this place a try, especially if you like biscuits.

First, the food was cold. Instead of taking it back, waitress brought out another dish. I got charged twice for cold food. Then an ant crawls out from under the plate and up my partners arm! She squished it with a napkin. Showed our waitress who told the manager. She said he apologized. No kind of compensation for the most disgusting thing to happen in a public establishment. Never going there again. Yuck

We had a 3 star server who was excellant. We were seated next to the fire place. My favorite! The grits are outstanding and as far as I can tell, Cracker Barrel is the only place that offers this item after breakfast hours. The coffee is fresh all day and a perfect blend to accommodate either a non Starbucks or Starbucks coffee drinker. The corn bread is cooked to perfection and always a great addition to any meal with or without jam. Did I mention how much fun it was to shop for babies at Cracker Barrel. So much fun!
