Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

Message: Consistently a great place for breakfast or brunch. Food is excellent quality at a reasonable price. However, the atmosphere can feel claustrophobic due to the busy nature of the restaurant. While the restaurant benefits from staying busy and cannot control peak times, it is still something to consider if you are a person that doesn't like crowds of people around where you're eating. It can feel chaotic at times and not so relaxing. Also the rigid wood tables and seating are not the most comfortable and they are placed awfully close to other tables, so expect to be in close quarters with other families or groups while eating. All in all an excellent place for breakfast if you can handle the crowds and peak hours. Otherwise, I'd suggest going during time when it's not so busy for a more relaxing experience.

Message: I will preface this with the fact that the manager did compensate our meal, but I had to do the leg work for that rather than the wait staff.. The location is nice, it was quick seating, and fairly quick service. Unfortunately, the cutlery had caked on food from the previous users—not hard water stains which I know are inevitable. Also, when ordering I asked for the gramma’s special and I requested the French toast. When the meal came out, I was given pancakes. I told the waiter that I asked for French toast so he took it back. I didn’t get the French toast until I was done with my meal. When I spoke to the manager at the pay counter, she said the waiter should have mentioned the cutlery issue to them at minimum. It altogether wasn’t a good experience.

Message: We went on Easter and the restaurant was packed. Nothing to complain about but the people working there also need a break to celebrate with their family. Hats off to the employees that ran the show while. Would love to see some real vegetarian dishes other than veggies and fruits.

Message: It was crowded, but I didn't feel rushed. I enjoyed a delicious pecan pancake with a sampling of meat during my brunch. The peach tea was just right. My biggest shout out goes to our server Judea! She was attentive, approachable, and always with a smile. I couldn't help taking home some delicious biscuits

Message: If you're used to the old days be warned the hostess is at the front by the door - NOT where you have to travel all the way up front to get your name in. If you have a pinch of anxiety about stuff or people you'll want to wait outside. Service is good. Food will still hit the spot and it doesn't take too long.

Message: We got on the waiting list online, which usually works amazing. But to be fair, it is a Sunday and lots of people got the same idea. Once we we contacted by our server Eric D, we forgot about the wait. The service was great and the food was outstanding.. I will admit that I love Cracker Barrel, and am pretty biased, but I don’t give false praise. The food today was everything we hoped for. I am sharing pictures, but had to take a few bites before being able to write the review :).
