Service was awful, as well as the cold food.

I came into this store at 829am. The place was not busy at all. I stood at the host stand for 5 minutes the gentlemen at the cash stand use his radio to let whoever know there was a guest needing seated as I arrived. No one came then a server came out of nowhere to seat me. Then the same server reach over a couple while they were eating to put there ticket...
Read full review of Cracker Barrelgrandpa's country fried breakfast
I have been coming to Cracker Barrel for years. I get the same thing every time. The Grandpa's Country Fried Breakfast, and always get the chicken fried chicken. Then to my utmost disappointment, I come this morning to find out that you can't get the chicken fried chicken with it, instead you get fried chicken tenderloins which was not enjoyable at all. Could we at least have the option have having the chicken fried chicken or chicken tenderloins? Please give this some thought. As of right now, I don't want to come back here to get breakfast when in my opinion has now gone downhill. It is no where near as enjoyable as it was.
new fried chicken
Whose idea was it to make the portions no smaller than 4 pieces? I travel alone and would never eat 4 pieces in one sitting, and I have no way to keep leftovers safely. Because of this, don't guess I will ever get a chance to try it. By the way, do a little research and find out how many people order more than 2 pieces at any other chicken restaurant... never happens.
Rude staff
My young daughter and I went into this Cracker Barrel looking for some holiday decorations. We love to get ready for the holiday seasons, and your stores have some of the most beautiful and unique decor. While we were there, we were followed through the store by three employees who were positioned in different parts of the area we were shopping in. We were...

We arrived at about 5:15 and waited until after 6:00 and never received our food. The restaurant was not overly busy. Many tables that were seated after us got their orders and left while we still sat. We asked three wait staff to please check on our order with no response .We asked a manager to check and after about 15 minutes she came back and said our...

This is the second time we have eaten at this location. We are extremely unhappy with the service. Our waitress, on both occasions, never came back to our table to see if we needed anything or refill our glasses. We had to ask another waitress to go find our waitress today because we had finished eating for about 10 minutes. It still took 5 or more minute...

This is the 4th time I've tried to make this complaint. Your website keeps kicking me off. I placed a To Go Order and stood in your restaurant for over 45 minutes waiting in my food and the the order was wrong. I literally had to find someone to see what was taking so long and she said it would be a minute. She comes back in 20 minutes and tells me they are...

We frequent Cracker Barrel, especially my husband who travels but we have never had any employee be rude as the hostess today, August 15, 2019 @ 7:28 p.m. She took us to one of the tables she wS and it was really warm so we ask her to seat us in the front area where it was cooler. She informed us in a rude manner that people had been asking all evening and...

I'm writing this letter I thought I;d never write because we have had so many wonderful meals at Cracker Barrel over the years. Friday Aug.9th I went with 6 other friends to the Bloomington Cracker Barrel restaurant for lunch. I having heard your commercials about your new country fried chicken ordered it. When it was served it was a let down. The breading...
gift shop
Dear Cracker Barrel Customer Service,
In your gift shops you have displays and gifts that honor all the branches of the military
EXCEPT the United States Coast Guard.
You highlight the Army, Navy, Air Force, and even the Marine Corps- which is technically a part of the Navy.
To be ignored and excluded this way, is an affront to the brave men and women that are out there serving and protecting the nation each day at great risk to their own lives.
The Coast Guard has the greatest interaction with the public in promoting boating and water safety, life saving, law enforcement, as well as support of the other branches in a myriad of military operations.
I felt that I needed to call this oversite to your attention in hopes that you could recognize their service as well.
Thank you - Jeffrey Bailey U.S.C.G. Auxiliary
Preparation of food
We have been going to this restaurant for the past 6 yrs sometimes twice a month. My husband loved their "open roast beef sandwich". On 8/3/19 we noticed on this visit that there was all new employees throughout. Husband ordered his usual indicating he wanted only white gravy plus bring extra white gravy. The waiter "Dakota" took the order along with mine ...

Anytime we go to this location, the service is horrible! We got there at noon today. We had 9 people. We were there for an hour. When we made our reservation, there was not a party of 15. Somehow, a party of 15 got sat before us. I asked the hostess about the part of 15. She told me they have been waiting 70 minutes. Really?? During that hour that we were...
Read full review of Cracker Barrelservice-delay with being waited on/delay of food delivery
We were at Cracker Barrel store #404 on 7/25/19 from 12:05 until 1:30.
We waited at our table 10 minutes before our waitress told us she would be with us in a minute. Meanwhile 3 tables around came in after us, were waited om immediately & received their food before our order was taken.
The 2 men in our party finally after 20 min. received their food. Waitress said she would be right back with my food & my sisters as she didn't have room on her tray.
The guys were almost finished eating when we received our food! A manager came over and said it did take 13 min. before our food order came up. Who knows when the waitress put the order in. We had to ask for to go boxes because I has to get back to work.
This is unacceptable! I was a waitress for several years in my parents restaurant.

Re: Experience @ Ypsillanti, Michigan Restaurant My wife, daughter and I were dining at the Cracker Barrel Restaurant in Ypsillanti, Michigan at about 4pm, on this date. My wife ordered a Halibut dinner. It had a very strong 'fishy' odor to it, which usually was not the case. She started to eat it anyways and found that it had many scales on it and wa...

My husband & I with my in-laws we're visiting in Corinth Mississippi Sunday and stopped in your restaurant. We have always enjoyed Cracker Barrel but this visit was awful. We waited in line for 20 minutes and when we got seated there were plenty of tables. I guess the wait was because they were short staff maybe. We placed our order & finally received it...

My husband and I visited Cracker Barrel in Central Park, Fredericksburg, Va last evening. It was 20 minutes before a server even came to our table, and they were not busy. After taking our drink order, it was another 15 minutes getting it, and that was after another server told her to bring them. The other server took our order, and we were 20 minutes receiving it, and my husband only got half of what he ordered. He was so perturbed by then that he told them to put it in a box. They offered us dessert then said they couldn't cut the cake for four hours. This was really ridiculous. We do not think we should have had to pay for our dinner. All in all we were there for about an hour and 15 minutes. I could say more but won't. My email is [protected]@gmail.com Thank you, Sharon Umstead

I agree 100%! I come to Cracker Barrel to get foods that I don’t make easily at home. My breakfast this morning was aweful. Chicken tenders that tasted like they came out of a frozen bag of Tyson chicken tenders. They were tough and bland. Way to go! Ruin a completely unique breakfast with more processed crap. Stop changing stuff! If it’s not broke, leave it the hell alone!
