Cracker Barrel

I visited Cracker Barrel in Texarkana, which I frequently visit. This particular time when I was there with a couple of friends for lunch, the service was terrible. We were seated in the back area of the restaurant, where they had either forgotten where we were or just never came. So after about 15 minutes a waitress came over and asked if what we wanted to drink. After about another 5 minutes a waiter came over and said he was sorry, but our waitress had an emergency and had to leave and he would be our waiter, and he took our drink order. So after about five minutes he brought our drinks, and we asked if we could have some cornbread. Another few minutes he brought the bread no extra small plates or asked if we needed anything. While back there, there was 2 other people back in the area that had been there before we arrived but we could tell that they was there for other reasons other than eating. Then this guy came thru that looked as if he was a manager headed to where the lady was seated, and we asked if he was a manager or if we could talk with a manager about our service, and he then becked for the waiter to come, and he came with the waitress that he had said had to leave, and we asked about our order. The manager went to the table and was doing interview with the people that was seated in the same area we were assigned to. The waiter never came back. Never came back to ask if our food was correct, which mine wasn't because it was to salty, and the hashbrown cassorole was cold, but he never came back to our table to check.

We finished our food and waited for check which again no one came, so we started to the front, when waiter noticed and offered our ticket which was wrong, so when we got to the front to pay, we told the cashier that we not only had been waiting on our ticket, but the service was terrible. So we tried to tell him what we had ordered so we could pay & leave, when the waiter finally came with our tickets. We asked who was the manager, and his name was Tim, he said that he was just a cashier, and couldn't help with what was in the other area, and manager was interviewing. I like Cracker Barrel and I frequent there, but that was the worse service I have ever experienced. If they was short staffed, it would have been nice if they had let us know when we arrived. The worse was the waiter/waitress that we had. NEVER Never came beck to the table, not even to offer tea or water, or see if we needed anything for our food.

The service was so bad, it made the food even worse.

I orderded Classic Hamburger Steak dinner with tea. Table 331 terminal CB037503 group of 3 Server 1998447

We waited a half hour for our order. When I finally got the waitress to go check, she brought the order. Oh, it was just ready. My husband's mashed potatoes were hard, indicating they had been sitting. She denied the orders had been sitting. We refused to eat the meals and on the way out asked for the manager at the check-in station. After he was called a second time, we quit waiting and just left. Also, the floor was dirty. One of the waitresses slipped because of this. But the worst of all, two tables over was a table with a customer with her dog in her lap. This is not legal. I eat at Cracker Barrell often. I had ate at the one in our home town the night before. This is the Wilson, NC location.

I have 3 gift cards I got as gifts about 3 years ago. I tried to use one in Stewartstown PA on May 14, 2023, and was told by the cashier that they no longer honor the older ("no expiraton date") gift cards. I was directed to contact corporate.

I went online and I filled out their online request-for-help-form and was only able to insert one gift certificate number per form, so had to make 3 separate inquiries.

That was on June 6th. The auto-response emails ("do not reply to this email") arrived on June 6th with the message that they would respond within 5 days. It has been 10 days and I haven't heard one word.

I along with numerous other people will be boycotting your restaurant. You all hide behind calls coming in with your voice mail. You evidently do not want to hear or talk to anyone. YOU of ALL restaurants supporting PRIDE month. This is something that is EVIL and I still cannot believe your decision on supporting something so wrong. This will not benefit you at all. God sees what you are doing. This is supporting Satan himself. God does not like anyone supporting the devil over Him. You should be ashamed of your self. Your sales will drop and you will not succeed with this type of behavior. God will not smile down on you. I hope you are happy because it will not last. It can't. Me along with others will halt all business with you.SHAME on you for what you have done!

Your police on gay pride week is so stupid you don't celebrate straight pride week but you give in to the minority. I eat breakfast with a group of Christian men every Friday. We want be back because of your woke polices that's about 15 families that will not be back. Cracker Barrel was a family place but not no more if you are going to honor things that are not Christian.

My daughter and I were dining in at the Cracker Barrel on Miller Lane, Dayton, Ohio on June 2, 2023 at about 5:30 p.m. The restaurant was not extremely busy and there were sufficient servers.

My daughter and I continued to wait while watching others being seated and served while we were ignored. We finally left the restaurant without any service and I told the cashier on the way out I didn't have a bill because we were never served or even checked on.

We went to the Olive Garden on Miller Lane and were seated promptly and waited on immediately. The food was excellent and served quickly although the Olive Garden was doing a lot more business than the Cracker Barrel on Miller Lane at this time.

We will return to the Olive Garden when we are again visiting Miller Lane, which is frequently. We will not be back to the Cracker Barrel. I am glad you are doing such good business that you don't need customers. I am not sure all of my friends on social media agree with you though.

On Friday, May 12, in San Antonio, Texas we decided to go have breakfast at the Cracker Barrel off of 10W. We arrived around 8:30 am and went in. Immediately we noticed the place was way too cold. After about 5 minutes we were seated. We also noticed that there were not many people in the place. There seemed to be a shortage of help for it took abut 15 minutes for someone to wait on us. We also noticed the fireplace was burning at full capacity and it was still too cold in the place. We told the server it was too cold and she just smiled with no comment. We ordered and after a 25 minute wait the food came. This is when we knew we had come to the wrong place. The eggs were cold, the bacon was burnt, and the bread was so cold the butter would not melt. After eating a cold breakfast we went to pay the bill. To our surprise we were charged the full price for coffee refills, but our refills were only for about a third of a cup. We will not be back and we will tell our friends how terrible the food was. I do not think this place will be in business very long with this kind of food and service.

Wilsons.

We visited yesterday Cracker Barrel in Boyton Beach Fl for lunch.

The problem is that 4 tables in front of us were dirty with used plates. I think you need to address ensuring that you have runners that clean the tables. We received our bill and no one removed our empty plates.

Need additional staff since food is generally good. I have pictures to prove my claim.

On Wednesday, March 29, 2023, a group of 5 ladies entered the Pooler,GA, CBOCS, for dinner on our way to church. When we entered there were very FEW customers in the dining area. We ordered our meal, we received our beverages and a basket of rolls. For the next HOUR, no exaggeration, we watched almost all the tables in our section fill with customers who not only ordered by received and ate their meals while we were still waiting. Our waitress, Nae, was new, this being her 2nd day. We asked about our order, she went to "check" at least twice. When the manager came over, Josh, we asked to pay for our drinks and bread so we could leave, we had waited over an hour and our time had come, we could wait no longer. He apologized and told us not to worry about the drinks and bread. About that time, Nae brought SOME of our food to the table. We began to question why it took so long when everyone else ate and left...Josh had a dumbfounded look on his face and bowed out as if it was his chance to escape. We were on individual tickets. Personally, I ordered a grilled chicken salad and a baked potato. I was the LAST person served. A salad...but she came back with a baked potato and stated that she did not want me to feel left out. (smh) One of our ladies did not get the baked sweet potato she ordered. Another lady in our grou did not get a side that she ordered (cant recall what it was). The waitress was told to just take them off of the tickets, we simply did not have time to wait. I had to have my salad put in a to go box.

When we got to the register our tickets were just wrong. Being in a hurry, the lady who didn't get the baked sweet potato stepped up and said she would pay the whole ticket and we could sort it out. $96.06. When we returned to our vehicle and began to sort the ticket so we could each pay her our part, we discovered that not only were we charged for the 2 sides that were never delivered, there were 2 additional $9.99 meals added to the ticket.

The manager on duty that night, LaJuan, assured us that the entire amount would be refunded to the Discover Card used to pay the bill. We understand that there is nothing that can be done as long as the charge is still pending. It finally cleared, and when I reached out to the restaurant again, Aubrey, the manager I spoke to on April 3, he said it had been too long and there was nothing that could be done from the store, but would have to be corrected on the corporate level. I'm not sure who i am the most upset by, the store and the entire fiasco, or the inability to reach corporate in any way. We are all pretty disgusted.
