Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Food was great and service was great! My server was Serena, she was very nice and attentive. The fireplace was beautiful and added to the overall great experience!

Does not live up to the hype of a country style restaurant. Service is slow, portions are small (really small), and the food is average. I was expecting a more hearty meal. My guess is most of the customers are lured in by nastalgia.

I’ve stopped at this location a few times before but only the gift shop. They’re always packed. Since I had a Monday off from work, I swung by to buy gifts but also to enjoy a meal. My waitress, Teresa was excellent. So attentive and...friendly. The gift shop was also fun to shop at, I spent more then I should’ve, but I left happy. Great place.More

Went on a Wednesday night. Not a packed house. Took 10 mins before we were even greeted at our seats. Got drinks and placed our order. 30 mins went by and finally the waitress came back to give us our biscuits while we wait (no...napkins, no plates). We asked how much longer would it be before we get our food, she wasn't sure and mentioned how it was a new cook for the night. We quickly found out we weren't the only ones based off the folks around telling us they waited 40 mins before getting food. The whole time while we waited we saw 8 to go orders get sent up front. We waited another 10 mins and still didn't have our food and asked for our bill for the drinks. We advised if the food wasn't ready to come out we needed to leave. Took our bill up front, they asked how everything was...we said terrible and the lady beside us said I guess I wasn't the only one. We ended up paying the $9 for drinks even though the service prior to that didn't deserve that. Was never even offered a refill the whole hour we sat there. They did offer for us to speak with the manager to maybe comp the drinks but we didn't want to wait any longer and just wanted to leave. One staff member said they were short staffed but there were 4 employees up front doing nothing. Management obviously doesn't have a clue. If you are short staffed then stop taking online orders, call in orders, etc. Help the actual folks in your dining room. Get the other staff members to help in other areas of the restaurant that are lacking. Ensure your tables have constant interaction with the servers and are taken care of if there is a delay. Maybe even shut down portions of the restaurant and not seat those sections. We all get it finding people to work these days is hard but as a manager you should be able to make better decisions on how to run your restaurant so customers in your restaurant are well taken care of. Change your focus and shut call in and online orders down until you can get it figured out. Oh and this hasn't been the only time this has happened at this location. We live local and always seem to give this restaurant another chance. Everytime it's the same story. This is the last time we will waste our time coming here. Lost a long time patron of your business due to poor management decisions. The leader is only to blame here.More

Dirty floor covered with smashed food on our walk through restaurant. Window sills covered in food crumbs. 7 of us served hot meal without silverware or napkins. Asked twice for silverware as food grew cold. Oh, also, meatloaf was featured dinner ….5 minutes later waitress...returned to say “out of meatloaf”. Asked for check after eating. Went to cashier and discovered bill was only 30 dollars for the seven of us! Waitress had given us someone’s bill but not ours! My husband returned to our table and waited 10 minutes trying to flag down our waitress to get OUR bill. We left her a 20 dollar tip because we felt sorry for her.More

Finally using the last of the 2020 gift cards. Arrived around 8:30 for breakfast, already a 20-min wait. That was fine. Sat for maybe 5-7 min before acknowledged. Waiter seemed okay, hustling like crazy. But the more we watched the more obvious he was running...around working harder not smarter. I wanted to tell him to take a breath, get a plan and settle down! Took probably 15-20 min to get food, maybe longer. I had French toast w/turkey sausage and apple topping w/whipped cream. I got a bowl of apple topping separately, no whipped cream. Big blob of butter on toast. Sausage was okay but got cold. French toast wasn’t that great but I was desperate and ate most of it. Husband ate his food (French toast/bacon/eggs). Never asked if I wanted more tea, never brought my husband more coffee. Place overall is NOT CLEAN, tables not well cleaned which kind of turns my stomach. And masks? Absolutely not except for a few patrons. Host and hostess were slow and zero personality. If I get another gift card this year it’s going in the trash! Apparently CB caters to those who just shovel food in and don’t care what it tastes like or how clean a place is. Never again!!More

Wonderful experience for breakfast. Hot eggs, crispy bacon and delicious hash browns. I was disappointed that the kids meal breakfast does not include a drink. Paying $2.19 for a little carton of milk is quite a shock, when the kids meal is $4.99. You and...I both know that carton doesn't cost more than $0.25!!More

We ordered grilled chicken and sides green beans, kale salad, and dumplings. We also got a catering order of Country Fried Steak. It was outstanding and presented well. We were very happy and so were our guests!

What I most like about C B it is just simple good food. They stick to what they are good at doing. Some restaurants lose sight how they got where they are. They try to be something to everyone. They lose their way. C B...always pleases me with their service and food. A customer for life. Wife likes the Gift Shop!More

Stpped for lunch while traveling and had a good Cracker Barrel experience. The food was very good and the atmosphere and service were excellent. Enjoyed shopping in the gift area. This is one of the better Cracker Barrel restaurants we've experienced.

I have never been disappointed at Cracker Barrel. This location has always had good service when we stop here. We got seated immediately. If you stop Sunday morning or Fri or Sat dinner time it will be busier. I had the roast beef dinner and...it was delicious. Polite and courteous staff. I saw a few one star reviews, and I have never experienced what they describe and whine about. No business is perfect. Maybe some people just can’t be pleased no matter what.More

We’ve always had great service at this location. There is one server we had a pretty horrible experience with. Apparently she was given our table even though we weren’t in her section, and she made sure to be very vocal and obvious that she was...pissed about it. She was extremely rude to us, and told my husband that he couldn’t order a side of banana pudding bc it is a dessert not a side (even though the menu clearly stated it was a “summer side). Other than that one time, the staff has always been friendly. The food is always tasty and reasonable.More

Great service, wonderful food. Love the vintage looks and the wonderful merchandise available in store. Old fashioned candy, soda, and snacks are great for travel or for personalized gifts.

Surprised when the grandkids got real maple syrup with their pancakes. It came in warmed individual little bottles. Sausage patty was a little spicy for me. Wish we had ordered the bacon instead. A little pricey but overall good food and good service. Not anything...that I crave to return for on the breakfast menu. Serving of grits was small. Substitutions pricey for breakfast.More
