  1. Although the atmosphere is friendly, the food good, and the service good, I cannot recommend Cracker Barrel to my friends because of the high level of noise. We were sitting at a table and could not hear conversation from across the table. Cracker Barrel has the highest noise level of any restaurant I’ve ever been in.

    • How right you are Ms. Cardona. The same noise level is in all of theCB Restaurants I guess. It most definitely is in our CB in Gainesville, FL & at the Ocala, FL CB. It has been like this forever. One would think that sound deadening material could be installed within the beams on the ceiling. I wrote to CB Corp Office about this.Not one answer. I have mentioned this to every Manager in both restaurants we visited but there is nothing they can do. They just say, keep after the CB Corporation with polite letters of our concern.
      I silently laughed to myself… Maybe if enough folks would make a proper complaint about the noise level being way too high making most guests uncomfortable that the folks at the top of the CB Corporation will do something about it, or maybe they are losing guests two at a time or even larger parties. I haven’t reached that LEVEL yet but my wife and I are very close to it.
      Great food, excellent service with an overcrowded Gift Shot area next to the cashier counter which is at the Bottleneck between the Staff registering incoming diners and the end of the Cashier’s counter and at the junction of diners exiting the Dining area.
      One bad scenario comes to mind and I pray this NEVER happens. If there was an emergency exit to be had due to a fire, explosion or other most serious danger a stamped to the Main Entrance would stop at the above mention BOTTLENECK area. I wonder if anyone ever gave this Exiting during an Emergency any thought? Every guest who walks into the restaurant should locate Emergency Exit doors within a few moments of entering any room.

      I do not mean to alarm folks but our safety or life could depend on being able to locate (in darkness) as well as in a smoke filled room, the nearest Emergency Exit.
      Safe & Happy Dining to All…

  2. Horrible service at Cracker Barrel in Weatherford TX again today. One fourth of the seating area was closed. A large crowd was standing around awaiting seating. In our group of five, one was crippled and using a walker, and she was left standing 20 minutes though two large tables at the front were empty and clean, We were told seating was in order of arrival even though those seated ahead of us were groups of 1 to 4 while we waited for the large, unused table at which we were finally seated. Two groups, ours and another one of six were seated at the same time at adjoining tables.. While these 11 people were standing, blocking merchandise and aisles, though our tables were sitting empty 20 minutes, we noticed several groups enter, see the waiting crowd, and exit. After seating, we waited 45 minutes for food. At this time we had been in the store for just over an hour. We noticed several patrons leaving the dining room before they ever received food. Beef sandwich was not available as they “ran out of beef” (this was 11:20) and had sent someone to Burleson (25 miles away) to retrieve some. I suspect your seating policy should be revised as it is obviously costing you customers. This is not the first time part of the restaurant is not being used, and not the first time much of the store area has been basically unavailable to shoppers because it is crowded with people awaiting seating. It happens fairly frequently. Why not greet and seat people, apologizing for the delay, and offering a beverage and some biscuits and cornbread while they wait? Or why not find a manager who keeps an adequate wait and kitchen staff, and an accurate food inventory? Our group eats here regularly, but we are tiring of days such as today. We were in the store one full hour, before we were served food.

    • Does cracker barrel really listen ?
      I have had the same experience many times at cracker barrel…..another person complained about the highest noise level of any restaurant I couldn’t agree more although I suppose there’s really nothing that can be done about that !

  3. Cracker Barrel is consistent with food quality and service. Cracker Barrel is more than a meal it is an experience, no matter what area of the country that you visit! It is always a welcome home!

  4. We ate at Cracker Barrel today and was disappointed that the carrots and beans no longer have the honey glaze that made them so tasty. My husband and I both commented on it. What’s up ? I’m sure we aren’t the only ones. When you start cutting corners consequences follow

  5. Was at the Victorville CA diner on 10/6/18. Zero stars. First, the 10 minute wait turned into a 50 minute wait when the hostess renamed my husband’s name that his parents gave him. When we asked for a manager, the second time (we later saw him sweeping floors that could not be interrupted ) we were finally taken to a table that had not been cleared. When we were seated, the waitress came, took our order and quickly brought our food. She quickly brought our bill even though we wanted dessert . Bottom line is: even if the food is good but service is this bad, customers will not return. This diner is on restaurant row. Plenty of other options with good food and great service.

  6. My mom, who is not well, and I eat at the Hot Springs, AR. Cracker Barrel around once a week. I want to get her out of the house and let here get exercise while we run around town. Her choice for lunch is Cracker Barrel. The chicken and dumplings are her favorite and never disappoint. CB is one of the few places that she will eat a full meal. Thanks Hot Springs CB! You are a large part of our weekly outings.

  9. We ordered the turkey and dressing. When it came, we only had the turkey and potatoes. They said the dressing liked 5 minutes and they ran out of my green beans. 10 minutes later I get the beans, 20 minutes later the dressing. I asked for gravy for the dressing, but they were out. My food was cold by the time I almost got everything.

    They also had good customer service / sending and confirming emails as well as calling . Pick up was easy and order was correct .

  13. Travel an hour to reach the nearest location in Victorville, CA. While we were seated right away. It took the server (or anyone for that matter) to even acknowledge us or at the very least take our drink order. After 15 minutes of seating, the server came and took our order. When the order was brought to the table it was incorrect. Ordered the pancake with Peach topping and was given apple topping instead. After waiting 5 minutes for the server to pop by again, I advised another server the order was incorrect. Our server came by to confirm. After another 10 minutes, was brought out another order also incorrect, again with apple instead of peach. Finally he acting manager brought out the food and the topping was on the side and guess what…apple again. Finally got a side of the peach topping which was only enough to cover 1 of the pancakes on the plate. Had to request a second side. At the same time all this was going on, my husband had to ask for his salad dressing 3 times before it was brought to him. Poor service…especially in the kitchen getting the order wrong repeatedly. Very disappointed.

  14. We have been customers of cracker barrel for years, and enjoy it. Recently had breakfast there as we love the pancakes. Wife and I ordered pancakes and bacon, as that is all we wanted with coffee. It was good as usual. The cost was $29.00. The next time we will check the menue.

  15. Had takeout meal at Greenville,NC store not real busy but very loud(music). Simple meal of meatloaf, corn, mash potatoes with cornbread . Got home only one mile away food was cold and my cornbread was no where to be found, as that was not enough both my wife and I got sick with cramps had to be the food only thing we shared all day. Probably will be a long time before going back or a reccomendation to this store.

  16. Every few months, several members of our family will get together in Allen, Texas to see each other, so we go to our favorite place, Cracker Barrel. Breakfast is always great, but this time we met at 2:00 pm and most of us ordered lunch or dinner. Everything was pretty good, but the child’s burger was not edible. Bun was hard, meat, very greasy and thin, Colby cheese .50 extra, not good. Such a shame, this sweet little niece of mine could not enjoy her meal. We also noticed a meal was not ordered by us and returned, but the waitress did not removed it from our price. We did not notice the extra $10.49 cent meal until we were in the car on the way home. It was Fancy Fixin ChileJack. Will not go there for lunch again if they feel the Children’s Menu is not important.

  18. Ate at Allen TX location today and sides were poor. Mashed potatoes not warm and steamed broccoli was old, brown spots and over cooked. The fried catfish was excellent and my husbands breakfast was very good. First time we’ve had bad food at this location. Our waitress was very attentive and good service. They were not busy at the time. Improvement needs to be made to make sure the food is
    hot and actually edible before placing on the table.

  19. We love to go to Cracker Barrel on Sunday after church. We don’t need a menu as we know what we already want. I am amazed that the food at all Cracker Barrel ‘ s taste the same like the green beans and the chicken and dumplings. So delicious. And the shopping is a plus .

  20. So excited that the Bend, Oregon Cracker Barrel finally opened. We’ve been waiting for months. Had to go on Wednesday to try the special of Chicken Pot Pie. It was yummy. My husband had the hamburger with the onion jam…..The service was great. The restaurant was hopping with people. We will go again. Love to eat out.

  24. Hi my husband and I along with 2 other couples visited your restaurant in Harlingen Tx today…..besides of the fact the noise level in there was terrible and we couldn’t have a decent visit, the service was terrible and the food wasn’t all that good either. Didn’t get all that you were suppose to get on our order….and some of it was cold….was too busy to have waiter take it back….all in all it wasn’t a good experience.

  25. Me & my family eat at CB several times a month. I have has some bad experiences here with my pancakes & hash browns being over cooked, so I make it a point to tell them how I expect both. Once we were seated ut took a very long time for our food for some reason. Our servers are always pretty good but this last time our server Hannah was extra awesome!! The best server by FAR! She was very attentive checking on us & refreshing our drinks.

  26. There were 4 people in our group. We were about the only ones in the restaurant at the time. It was about 9:00 AM. They took forever to bring coffee for everyone. The server took our order and later another person brought it out. My husband had the special. The eggs on his plate looked liked they were dumped there. Not a nice presentation. I ordered biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were hard and the gravy was cold and tasteless. The guys had to ask several times for coffee refills. It was not an enjoyable breakfast.

  27. Cracker Barrel is fairly new to my area(Panama City Fl) . After getting a few hiccups worked out we are happy to go to eat at CB. Last night 4/4/19 my husband and another couple and I went to CB around 4:00. We had the most delightful waiter named William, he was prompt, super personality and made us to feel we were the only table he had to take care of. We will always ask for William to wait on us.

  28. We visited the Cracker Barrel in Belton, MO. Our overall experience was excellent. We arrived to have brunch, no wait time, the place was clean, the staff, courteous & respectful, accommodating in every way! Our waitress was very good & there for our every need! The only complaint I had was about the merchandise available! I wanted 2 of a certain item for our granddaughters & there was only one of the item of the size needed. Otherwise, all would’ve been close to perfect!

  31. My wife and I went to the Cracker Barrel here in Panama City, Fl. this month this past Wednesday, the 24th of April. The staff was very nice, did not take long to get seated. I had the new fried chicken, and was over cooked, crust was hard, and too brown. I tried to specify what pieces of the chicken I wanted, and the waitress, said I could not do that because it was a new item on the menu.

  36. I was reluctant t try Cracker Barrel due to the kiosks in all the malls. As it turns out, we were pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere and congeniality of our new CB in Beaverton, OR. not only was their newest menu item, Fried Chicken, the best I have ever had but the service was cracker jack!. Our waiter, Kevin, was super informative and made some great recommendations. After a great meal we had a slice of the Buttermilk Pie with fresh whipped cream and strawberries. It was a perfect end to a wonderful dinner. And the gift shop was great fun with many hard to get items. We can’t wait to go back and try something else! Ask for Kevin, he was great!

  40. Very disappointed. Have eaten at Cracker Barrel In Texas and the food was very good and filling. We were told by the Manager the recipes are different in the west because of higher costs. If something isn’t done out here in the West this Cracker Barrel will never make it in Bend, Oregon. The gravy had a funny taste, the sausage was just warmed up and dry and the bisquits weren’t quite done. All the recipes should be uniform. I can understand a differing menu but not the quality of food. We will try 1 more for dinner ,if not any better you have lost a customer and I am sure more will follow.

  41. I was visiting family in San Antonio and it was recommended that I visit this restaurant because the food was good. We were from Hawaii but I was raised in Texas and wasn’t expecting much of anything but a good meal. I was very pleased that my family had an extremely happy time and this was a highlight of the trip. The server was outstanding because of her attention to serve us as if we were the only ones in the restaurant and was very attentive on every need. She knew what was needed before we realized we needed it. She went above and beyond to care for my family to make this much more than just a sit down meal. We will gladly be returning to this same restaurant next summer for these reasons. Oh, and the food was definitely superior to other places I’ve visited.

  42. I ordered a carryout today as the inside was closed due to the coronavirus. I ordered two pinto bean soups with biscuits instead of cornbread. When I went to pick it up, I was asked if I wanted to leave a tip. I have never been asked for a tip for carryout or drive thru before so I was stunned. I did not give a tip and I am really glad. The soup was just beans, no soup at all and I was given corn bread muffins which were like bricks instead of my biscuits. I could not even eat the corn bread muffins as they were too hard even when warmed up. They must have been a month old. I did add water to the beans, however, they were still not like the pinto bean soup that you usually receive at the Cracker Barrel when ordering inside. I was very disappointed.

  43. We enjoy eating at Cracker Barrel in Conroe Texas. The only place you can get a normal family meal and at reasonable price. This Conroe, Texas location has great people and great cooks. This is our go to place for always getting a good meal. The servers are so nice and polite and attentive. You should try this location if in the area. I am sorry some people go to location that are not as good as this one. This is a family restaurant and noise will be expected. I have not had a problem with excessive noise here. We have eaten at Crocker Barrels for many many years!

My okra was delicious the only thing that was edible.

  50. My friend and I have visited Cracker Barrel restaurants from time to time in Ohio and have always been well satisfied with the food and service and certainly love to visit the shop.. Our visit about 5 weeks ago and last Friday (8-20-21) had the same bad experience. The fish, of course, is always especially good as well as all the other offerings. We both requested a sweet potato. When it arrived, it looked well baked and so inviting. My friend said, “The butter isn’t melting”. Sure enough, the inside of the potato was cold. The server took them back and said she would microwave them. She had us check the potatoes for our satisfaction. Still cold inside. She took them back and microwaved them longer and brought them back. This time they were done and good. Are we the only guests who run into this problem? This experience makes me wonder how much food is microwaved as opposed to baking, frying or cooking. From the advertisements, one goes to Cracker Barrel with the thought in mind that we will be serving home-cooked meals. Too, the noise is rather loud but I consider the acoustics for that; however, I could name you two other well-known restaurants that are much louder than Cracker Barrel which do deter us from visiting them. This experience will not keep us from visiting Cracker Barrel in the future.
