Got seated quickly with a short wait, great waitress with lots of knowledge about the food, and ended with a nice shopping trip in the country store.

This visit was exceptional because they had the greeter at the entrance rather than having to fight your way back. There was quite a bit of management monitoring the operation and clearly things were running smoothly. This cracker barrel is much better than the average.

Waitress, Val, was great, very friendly and accurate. You could tell they were short on help, but they did a great job keeping up. There was a wait but nothing unreasonable.

The chicken breasts were very, very dry and difficult to eat. Seemed to have been sitting under a heat lamp or something for way too long. I had the white gravy on my mashed potatoes and there was only a tiny bit of gravy. At first I wasn't sure if there was any gravy at all. The biscuits were hard and dry. Broccoli was the only thing that was good. My partner had the pot roast and he enjoyed it but he said that the cornbread was not edible. He usually eats several pieces of cornbread and he didn't even finish the 1 piece he tried. Very disappointing for the price we paid. Food: 2 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Never seen the waitress except for once and we were ready to go. This is the second time in past month and a half it has been so slow with the food, not busy and the food is cold. I won't go back to this cracker barrel as both times it has not been good. Only see the waitress once and can't get refills. As much money as it costs to go out and especially a sit down restaurant, you should see your waitress more than the one time to get your order and when you are ready to go.
