Cracker Barrel is affordable, southern style "home cooking" where the majority of the menu is probably not the most healthiest of choice. They're trying to fix that by offering more grilled items, such as fish and chicken, and even salads. I know getting the fried chicken tenders with potatoes and gravy and fried apples isn't the best choice, but where I come from the closest CB is 5 hours away in Phoenix, AZ and to me, the CBOCS is a treat! Paige did a decent job as our server. She refilled our drinks and was friendly enough. It's a great place for comfort food, and it's my favorite part.. its affordable! A entree with 2 sides is about $8, and you can get biscuits and/or cornbread with the meal. It's my go-to place when I'm outside California! read more

I always liked this place , Today it was so bad they sat me by the divider wall . These dust balls on that rail were as big as gum balls . I wanted to run to Home Depot and purchase swifters to dust the whole place. My utensils had crud on them. Manager said they dusted the top yesterday and did not clean up afterwards. I reported them to the dept of health. If your eggs have a cotton ball consistency check for dust balls. read more

Been a few times & it's consistent. Love the pancakes. Could do without Cracker Barrel's biscuits. It's exactly what you should expect from a chain restaurant - sometimes you have to wait, sometimes you feel like they could've done a much better job cleaning the table before you sat down. Wait staff is friendly, though! The country store has so many cute items! read more

Cracker Barrel - Grandma's Sampler - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fishkill, New York

Visit 1:Laurie was our waitress First when we got here there was no one at the hostess stand so we were standing there for a few minutes but someone came over with a smile to seat us. Didnt catch her name. Laurie was polite but hardly checked up on us. And when we did need something we had to ask a passing wait staff! Visit 2. Our waitress jennifer was super friendly and attentive. She made some great recommendations for breAkfast because she saw i was having a tough decision. She could tell my grandpa was hard of hearing so she was patient with him. Food came out great. Always satisfied leaving here! read more

Took a 35-45 minute wait. It took longer than they said. My grandfather told the person to get us a table. He said "if you don't sit down we will remove you from the building". So we left. What a horrible experience read more

Good food, good service but the biscuits are a little to dry and the gravy is the consistency of watered down jello chucks

Did you know I'm a Cracker Barrel nut case? When I vacation in Florida I know of every Cracker Barrel within a 4 mile radius. I'm a sucker for a rocking chair! Anyhoo, we drove north to see my niece in summer camp and swung by this Cracker Barrel in FishKill NY. If I'm here for Breakfast I'm ordering an Uncle Hershel breakfast. If its Friday night, then its Fish Fry night. Since its Saturday, I'm having the deep fried catfish with a side of baked apples. mmmmm mmm good!! read more

1st time being to this one. Had a good experience. 5 min wait for table. Service was excellent. Food is good and def affordable. I like this place for the breakfast and for country fried steak. Most of the sides are bland to me but the Hashbrown casserole is delicious! Friends liked the grits and biscuits with apple butter. All Cracker Barrels have the gift store in the entrance- has cool items ranging from candy to themed items , Yankee candles and decorative pieces. Worth the look esp when ur waiting for your table read more

Second time visiting a Cracker Barrel and I'm still impressed. The merchandise in the store brings back so many memories. The candy and sodas bring me back to my youth. Now to the food. I ordered a combo plate and I was very happy with the food. The chicken fried steak was seasoned well and tender, grits was thick and creamy, biscuits nice and fluffy and to top it all off the GRAVY!!!! Thick, flavorful and smooth. I would recommend coming here to anyone that's looking for some good ole southern food. read more

i left incredibly disappointed and dissatisfied. my family and i like to go to cracker barrel for breakfast either here or in connecticut, and the differences here and in connecticut are vastly different. firstly, i got the steak and egg hash brown casserole bowl, something i always get when i go to a cracker barrel. when i got it, the hash brown casserole was incredibly dry, and had no cheese on it like the menu described, i had to ask for a side of cheese from my server but couldn't even enjoy it well because my bowl was also cold/lukewarm. which was also another thing, our food took almost a half hour to come out. anyways, the crispy onion garnish also came out in huge rings and 2 of them weren't even breaded, just full on un breaded huge onion rings, which was disappointing as well. the steak tips didn't taste all that great either. so overall i couldn't even finish this bowl, it really wasn't good. i even left with a bad taste in my mouth. my brother ordered the exact same thing as me and also had the same exact situation. so yeah, i don't think ill ever come here again. food cold, unsatisfactory, and took forever to come. the kitchen seriously needs to do better. although our server was great, he was a sweetheart! don't blame him at all, just the kitchen. read more

Good food . Nothing special . I had the pecan pancakes with the hash casserole . They didn't have tea options but English breakfast . And I felt like the pancakes could have been more chunky or at least give me the nice looking pancakes but it's whatever. It's a cool stop if you're not from there. The staff was cool and moved efficiently in a crowded and busy place . read more

We have stopped here a few times through the years when heading home from upstate and it is so good every time. On the weekends expect a long wait. The country store when you first walk in is really great. So many items and throwback candy. Service is usually always pretty quick. Food is always hot and you'd get a great amount. I highly recommend the breakfast. I have had the bacon sausage hash casserole biscuits and gravy and it's all so good. Ice caramel macchiato is actually really good also. read more

I was waiting to try this place out for almost a year and its satisfying to say it was worth it. Mac and cheese was on point. If you like mac and cheese ask for two sides. The chicken potions are huge and crispy. No let's talk about the bill. I figured the nice restaurant, the store connected, parking and the large portion of food that the bill would of been close to $100 for the 3 of us. Boy was I wrong. The bill was $35. If you can make it here def go! You may have to find a spot for a drink after because they dont sell alcohol there, but dont let that be a deterrent. I'll be back next week! read more

Always consistent and so many healthy options over "fast food ". And of course there is the rustic ambiance and open space inside.

First time here The place is very country has the big wood rocking chairs and chess tables. When you walk in its a gift shop which is great if you wanna look around while you wait for a table. We only waited like five minutes however service is fast. Our server was lovely very sweet and the food was delicious. Me & my bf ate so much for $25 everything was very cheap I only wait for breakfast so i cant wait to go back and check out the lunch. The fried chicken was very good. As for my bf who got pancakes he loved them said hes never going back to ihop as he would rather eat them here read more

Cracker Barrel - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fishkill, New York

Portion sizes went down considerably within the past 6 months. We visit this location regularly and my son loves the meat loaf dinner. Ordered him a dinner this time and he received 1 thin slice of meatloaf. The sides used to come in small dishes now they put everything together on one plate so you don't realize the amount of food is less. Ordered biscuits and corn bread before our dinner and didn't receive it until 5 minutes after our dinner came with no butter. read more

Love this happy place! Great prices & friendly staff! Wish they had more restaurants in New York!!

Super good food, you can tell they're short staffed but Jared still took great care of us and it was a super pleasant experience

Today I came to have breakfast with my sons and usually they are good but today I was highly disappointed we got dirty cups and silverware (which I sent back) the waitress blamed the dishwasher(wtf). I ordered the egg whites with fruit, I am a chef I went to culinary school, in no way was I expecting French omelette but what they served me was shit, to boot I got the discarded ends of tomatoes placed on my plate as a shit garnish. read more

First experience at Cracker Barrel was an interesting one. Coming from Manhattan on our way to apple picking it felt a little like a time warp with the decor and atmosphere of the restaurant. Think IHOP meets Denny's. WAIT: We came around noon on a Saturday and for our group of 8 it was estimated to be a 50 minute wait. After 30 minutes or so, we were seated even though half our group wasn't there yet. ATMOSPHERE: Feels like a diner in the south or in the countryside. The atmosphere is lively, lots of space, lots of groups and people bustling everywhere. They have peg board games at the table for people to play with. The entrance is the huge country store which is fun to browse while you wait. FOOD: They serve breakfast all day as well as lunch when we got there. If you don't get the breakfast menu just ask for it. The menu is very expansive and they have just about everything. Things you order come with multiple side dishes, which is nice. The prices are also so cheap! For New York standards, you're paying $10-11 for a ton of food. SUNRISE SAMPLER - I opted for breakfast because I really enjoy breakfast foods and this one seemed like too good of a deal to pass up. It was about $8 for a slice of bacon, sausage, country ham, 2 eggs, biscuits, grits, gravy, hash brown casserole and fried apples. When I got my dish, I could see why it was so cheap since it's 1 slice of bacon, a small sausage patty and a small country ham. Regardless though, I was stuffed towards the end. MEATS: the bacon was good, the sausage was maybe a little on the saltier side and is a round patty, the country ham is salty and good, like the kind you get at thanksgiving. BISCUITS: they were slightly disappointing in that they were a little too soft and doughy (Popeyes is still really good) and had a slightly off aftertaste. Their jam and butters are from a package, not housemade. CORN MUFFINS: also was able to try this and it was basically like corn bread, but maybe a little less sweet? Pretty good if you enjoy cornbread. GRITS: I'm never a fan of grits, it was too bland. GRAVY: Good to put with your biscuits or your meats to make it a little less salty, and those that got chicken fried steak had extra to put on their meals. FRIED APPLES: basically the filling of an apple pie, they left the skin on, which I didn't like but it was sweet and mushy. HASHBROWN CASSEROLE: very good, it's shredded potatoes with onions and cheese made into a little lasagna like square. Overall, a good deal and definitely a good deal but the overall tastes were just A-OK. read more

Wait time was 25-35 minutes ... it was a Sunday so that's normal. 25 minutes and we were called and seated Our waitress was not there yet but we did get a nice waitress to get our drink order. The restaurant was clean and full of people After a few minutes a waitress came over to take our order she was a bit nervous. We upgraded to the house salad and got a side . The side of the day was boiled cabbage We tried the new southern fried chicken.. She came back after a few minutes and aid there was no blue cheese dressing or boiled cabbage.. Sigh . So I asked for thousand island and string beans . Salads came out after 5 minutes and she was very apologetic. After that the whole experience changed .. seemed she got back into her comfort zone and was on top of the drinks .. asked if everything was ok .. good experience read more

I find it funny Cracker Barrel prides themselves on their "inclusiveness" or whatever because what just happened to me and my mother was disgusting. Stopped in to Oder delivery and everyone just kept either ignoring us or passing us off saying "o someone's coming to take your order". Why is it a specific person to take a take out order ? That's nonsensical in these times man. And to make matters worse is that other customers saw us waiting and let the waitress know and she responded with "yea I know" and snickered. Man in these times it's always terrible to be reminded that I'm a black man.. good job Cracker Barrel.. I'll never annoy you guys with my business again read more

Years back my husband and I used to drive from New York to Florida for vacation. That's how we discovered Cracker Barrel. We would always stop at one of their locations for a bite, and always enjoyed ourselves. The last time we went to a location in Fishkill. The food was horrible. Not worth spending hard earned money on. There are no options for people who have food allergies. Also if you have high blood pressure, the food is overly salted. I'm done with this chain. read more

Food was ok. I had a country fried steak. The hubby had fried shrimp. A little bland but you can't beat the price. Waitress was nice. Kept checking to see if we were ok. read more

Nice big rooms, courteous waitstaff. But they don't give enough food. And my side of hash browns was incredibly gummy. It consisted of one lump. In general the food could have tasted better. read more

This place was really stinkin good for being a chain brunch joint! The bacon is making me drool as I am thinking about it. It was so thick, so fatty, and so damn flavorful. Just how I like it!!! And let me tell y'all about their biscuits. Holy crap, they were warm, buttery, and so fluffy! The eggs in a basket were cooked to the perfect medium. Just what I needed for a slight hangover. Our waitress was super friendly and accommodating for our big party. We were all super stuffed and happy. What was the cherry on top to this place was the price! We left with happy stomachs and happy hearts without breaking our bank. Loved this place! read more

Do you like the color grey? Well, you'd better, because that's all you'll be eating. You don't go into any Cracker Barrel with high expectations for ambiance, so I'm not making any marks about that. You fully expect screaming kids not being controlled by their parents, checkers rolling across the floor, a sticky table full of weird games and signs, and a general feeling of American Horror Story by way of Little House on the Prairie. That's fine. You even expect that their idea of a good ol' American salad would have less vegetables than it does cheese and bacon. Fine. What is less expected is the low, low quality of the food overall. I ordered a ribeye, medium rare, that was less than half an inch thick. I'm pretty convinced that it was a flank steak that was cooked to a moment before it turned into leather, and it was about half fat. And because you order a truly repulsive, misleading, and yet more expensive steak, you somehow give up your right to the three sides that come with every meal. Can I call bullshit? Granted, the tiny mashed potato dollop was fine. My girlfriend's meal was just bland slop. She restrained her disappointment until we got to the car, at which point she screamed, with the windows rolled up so as not to offend the spirits of the colonial soldiers that still wander these hills, "OH MY GOD THAT WAS SO DISGUSTING!" Don't do it. Don't come here. Don't come here unless you want a night of stomach cramps and nightmares about a white sheen of gravy over everything you eat, everything you own, and everything you love. read more

Broke my heart....hoping third time was a charm. I am going to have to give up on trying to smear at this particular location. Third time showing up on a Tuesday night and having to wait 32 minutes for a seat. Actually I didn't get a seat. I left however prior to leaving I walked through the restaurant and counted 13 open (clean) tables all within the two open areas. I was told manager is working the kitchen so they would not be able to speak with me. I left and two other families followed. I love Cracker Barrel and this is the closet I get to a fair meal as I am currently staying in a hotel (for another two months). Please get back to the norm. So disappointing. read more

The one thing you can count on at Cracker Barrel - if you get kidnapped and dropped blindfolded into a Cracker Barrel store - no chance of telling what state you were deposited in. The classic porch with rocking chairs and retail store that guards the entrance/exit from every location is impressively consistent and has that shopping magnetism that repels me but calls out to my wife Always plenty of parking, breakfast lunch or dinner all day, and a menu that appeals to young and old alike - all part of the charm of this restaurant chain No surprises, decent food, consistent service. Sort of like the diners of old on steriods... read more

As far as Cracker Barrels go, this one was like the standard. Good food, good service, and the waitress was great.

This is my first time here at Cracker Barrel , I have to say, the store front Gimmick, I like it. As soon as I walked in, I thought it was a store, I didn't know it was also a restaurant. So we walk in to put our Reservations and went outside to wait until they call us in. Where there was a Collection Rocking chair, that was so cool. So as soon as they called us. It was like jumping into the pass, all Collection of photo and items of the pass. I was like a Paparazzi with my Camera. So as soon as we sat down, our Waitress Tiffany came over to take our order. I got a Raspberry lemonade, it was so Awesome, and order the steak with Mashed potatoes Gravy and there Famous mac & cheese, I have to say, it was great Dining here . read more

Cracker Barrel's are few and far between on the West Coast, so our recent trip to NY brought not a little excitement to have a "down-home" meal at this locale. While portions of the meals we ordered were quite good, there were also some items sub-standard. By far, however, our experience suffered from terrible service. The young gentleman who was our server was friendly, but personality only gets you so far, and apparently it doesn't bring you back to the table you're serving without being begged and practically tackled. He could not remember what items were ordered by whom and 5 out of the 7 dinners we ordered had something either wrong or missing. One side dish never did arrive. One soup was served lukewarm and had to be returned. Coffee and sodas were so begrudgingly refilled you might have thought it was war time rations. The chicken fried steak was nice and tender, but a hallmark of the dish, the sausage gravy, was so sparse it almost seemed like it had accidentally been spilled on rather than purposely spooned. The catfish was ordered by one in our party and it seemed like the best dish of them all. The fried apples were sweet and juicy and made for a nice dessert. The restaurant was clean. read more
