Cracker Barrel is always a welcomed stop. I love their biscuits, macaroni, country ham, and fried apples. Service has always been great, too. I enjoy browsing the store. There’s lots of unique options, although it’s a little expensive. App works well, too.

Other than being short staffed due to our current government attempting to pay people off to vote in a socialistic type of government. This establishment took care of their customers extremely well. The food was fresh and was served …

Brenda was amazing! Our meals were fairly quick, fresh, delicious. My only complaint was the small size of 1 pc catfish meal for 11.99 plus 1.99 per premium side. Those biscuits thoooooo...amazing

This was the first time ever that I have been disappointed in the service at any Cracker Barrel. Not only did it take quite a while for our server to come to our table, but she put in the wrong order. When our food came,...Read More

We went for my birthday. The wait was short so we were sat quickly. Our waitress Kylie was all smiles, attentive and extremely courteous. The food was delicious and we enjoyed the experience immensely.

The cornbread was hard around the edges; apparently having been under the heat lamp for hours. My friend's mashed potatoes were "crunchy" around the edges. Entree (chicken fried chicken) was excellent, especially the sawmill gravy. The dining room was less than half full at 6:30-7:15....Read More

This is my favorite "comfort food" restaurant. This location is always clean, friendly, and serves delicious food. Myfavorite is a vegetable plate, cornbread, and iced tea! The country fried steak tastes just like homemade (no dish washing required)! 🤣

We took Mom out for Mother's Day lunch Saturday. The Cracker Barrel was crowded, but our service was fast, friendly and the food was SO good, as usual. I especially like the $5 "to go" specials. Please don't change anything!
