Driven right by this place several years, I never knew it was here…read more Local country breakfast served until 11 am. Ambiance is like having breakfast at grandma's. Loving conversation, pet names, and warm service. Local customers are called by name. Unsweetened tea is great, which is an anomaly in the South. Breakfast made one plate at a time their motto. Served hot and quick. We'd eat here again. However, lacking a star for not keeping drinks refilled, and the hash browns could be cooked a little longer for crispy outside. They have whipped spread instead of butter on the tables. Also, baskets of jellies, creamers, etc. But most restaurants of this type do. No frills by any means. If you want lunch, wait until 11 am, then go next door to White Swan. Open 6 days a week.

A local neighborhood place where the servers know all their patrons. Service was fast and very friendly. The biscuits are tender and buttery. Nothing fancy here.

The unsweetened iced tea just kept coming and kept my husband's coffee cup full and hot.

Dinner for four. My…read morewife and I drove from Raleigh to this Cracker Barrel location to have dinner with her uncle and his wife who were passing through NC on their way back to Virginia. The Service was great , Michaela did an amazing job of taking care of us. She was upbeat, funny and attentive. The food was great 3 of us got the Turkey and dressing and one got meat loaf (I think) All 4 of us were happy with our meal. The ambiance was great, traditional Cracker Barrel look. The restaurant was clean in the dining area as well as the rest rooms. We were greeted when we first arrived and we were politely asked to shop in the store after dinner, I thought this was a brilliant way of getting people to shop... which we did. We had an amazing time at Cracker Barrel, if you're in the area I highly recommend stopping in. *This is Great place for families to eat. Thanks again Michaela and Cracker Barrel. :)

Food: The variety was very slim, the serving dishes were all pretty picked over - and not being readily filled - when we got there so we had to start out with the left overs and make our way back over to the buffet again later to check if they'd filled the serving dishes. I didn't think anything I had (flounder, chicken, potatoes, vegetables, pie) was particularly good. I put all that in small scoops each on my plate because somehow I just knew. I thought I'd find something I'd really enjoy but no way, didn't happen. (The place was busy though so I'll give them that. I just wouldn't go back, but I am traveling through so I wouldn't have much of an opportunity to do so more than once a year really). 'Ambiance' .. none. Very wide open and very much like a church rec-room basement with tables and booths. Nothing special or enticing. Big containers of water and drinks on every table. Looked cluttered but that's not important. Table: sticky. Floor: sticky Service: Everyone we had contact with was pleasant. Price was $30+ for two.

The folks who run it are super friendly, and take great care of me. I've tried a variety of dishes and have always been pleased. Today I had a seafood stew with shrimp and rice and a fried egg on top, it was fantastic!! Like nothing I've ever had before. The prices are excellent, especially for the quantity of food they give you.

Piled high with ham, bologna, salami, bacon and all the toppings. Felt like it weighed 5 pounds when I picked it up. I also got an order of deviled eggs, 4 per order. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. Upon checking out, I was offered a punch card for a free sub in the future. 3 people ate off this sub and was approved by all. I don't get to venture out for lunch often, but Hoagie City has made it to my list of great places.

You need to give these folks a try!! There subs are very good and you get a lot for your money. The…read moreonly suggestion I would make would be to use higher quality meats like "Boar's Head" and also provide "Sweet peppers" as a toppings option. That is the only reason they don't get 5 stars, but I do give them 4.5 stars and highly recommend. ***The staff is very friendly***

So I try to rate all restaurants on a common scale... White Glove treatment in an amazing setting…read morewith marvelous food being a 5... and going down from there. A 3-star is average everything, likely would go back but nothing special. A 1-star may include crawling creatures in the resturant or at your table and would definitely not go back. This place based on the above is a 2. Setting is very minimal, clean enough but not particularly appealing as a sit-down place. It has a 3 table setting and a food spread a typical family might have, very much a take-out kind of place. It's sort of small scale cafeteria line (6 items plus fried chicken) merged with Grandma's kitchen. Food was OK, but nothing standout-ish. Biggest thing going for it is it's relatively cheap and the lady helping was quite nice. In the end though, I'd not likely come back here.. KFC or Bojangles would be tastier options.

I let him know the food was great, home cooked and good portions. The one thing that ruined the evening was the RUDE waitress, he walked up to the table and before he could sit down she bought my drink out, she asked what will you have to drink, he's looking confused and responds still standing, well what do you have? She rambles all the options so fast I'm not sure he understood all but made a choice. Then he sat down. She came back and slid it on the table like a fly by.. Soon she bought a hush puppy basket they were cold, I dare not complain she was so nasty and distant. Next she came back, order book open and I was like it's his 1st time, she didn't say anything, she just looked out the window and waited, so we just knew we needed to order, so I named my meat before I could finish SIDES??then he simply asks did they have bone in chicken ( I didn't know he was going to ask or I would have told him beforehand) she says no we have , fried chicken breast tenders, sisco chicken etc, she named every chicken dish on the menu without taking a breath.. I can give her props for knowing that..we both were looking at her confused and she never looked at us it was always "looking out the window " He said just give me "Flounder " one piece or two??? He replies one, SIDES??? Like we needed to be on point. She took the menus and left. She asked the questions she needed but was mean, not engaging and just rude. The WAY she asked.. When our food came this waitress walked by and literally slid our food on the table in a way that was like HERE! And kept walking I don't even think she stopped when she put them on the table she may have slowed down. We had to reach towards the end of the table to slide our plates in front of us. We both looking at each other in agreement she just nasty! The next time she came back she walked by and sat down a half glass of refill for his drink, she hadn't asked she just did it, suppose he wanted a glass of water? When we put our forks down she came over to get his plate and bought me a to go box as I still had half my food on my plate and she left the ticket. She didn't say is there anything I can get you or anything the entire time. He put his pymt with the ticket and put it on the edge of the table, I hadn't been in a while so I forgot we would pay on the way out. She was cleaning the floor near us and slid our ticket/pymt farther on our table, as if it was in her way, again he's confused so he said this is ready and she let him know to pay up front. I have never experienced such a nasty waitress at this restaurant and because of this I probably will never go back. I don't like not feeling comfortable and welcomed in a place where my money and time is going into. I started to complain before I left but in reality I don't think it would have mattered, and we left a tip not as much as we would have if she was more pleasant. I don't know whether she was having a bad day, a long day or to take it personal but I can't deal with attitude like that and won't take a chance on it again. This man drove a hour to experience this was just unbelievable!!!!
