Cracker Barrel is our road food restaurant. This year, we had dinner here twice. Consistent as usual. The macaroni and cheese is a favorite. The chicken campfire dinner is a deal -dinner and lunch the next day. The servers are always the best, do their best to meet all request. If you're not that hungry, try the kid's menu for kids of all ages. Always has something good. read more

Usually I am very disappointed with my local Cracker Barrel but I decided to stop by in my way to NC. We made a pit stop and I enjoyed the service. Our server was Savanna and she was great! She was so friendly and attentive to us. She made our visit a great one! I wasn't sure what to get so she recommended a meal based on what I was craving and it was spot on. I had three biscuits , scrambled eggs, bacon and cheesy hash browns. I don't know the name of the meal she personalized for me but it was amazing. The biscuits were nice and hot, the eggs I wish were more fluffy but they were also hot when they came to the table. The bacon was crispy and lastly the had browns were just seasoned perfectly. My bf and dad got the grandma's special and they loved it . The French toast was soft and buttery and the pancakes which are my favorite out of any breakfast establishment was cooked perfectly. Everything came out within 15 minutes and I was pleasantly surprised since I am always let down by their quality. We came in on a Wednesday at 9am and the restaurant was fairly empty. Every worker was friendly and I believe one of the managers went up to us to check up on us to see if we needed anything and if we enjoyed our meals. read more

Came here last night for dinner and had the Thursday special of Turkey and stuffing. They were out of many sides so she gave me a free salad. This place is only as good as its servers basically. Went back this morning since I'm at the hotel next door. I was looking forward to the new Baked Apple French toast but I was very disappointed. First it seemed to take forever to get our breakfast and someone besides our waitress brought it out. The French toast was dry and Tasteless. I told our waitress and she offered more syrup. Not really the answer. My husband's eggs weren't hot anymore. Breakfast is usually always good at Cracker Barrel. It was a letdown. read more

You can never go wrong with Cracker Barrel. The food is consistently great, and the service is always warm and friendly. The cozy, rustic ambiance adds to the charm of every visit. The only downside can be the wait time, but that's become a common experience at most popular spots these days. read more

I been coming here for years and today I got the best service I have ever had. Her name was Mistie she was very attentive brought everything we needed when we needed it never had to ask for a refill super sweet. And the next time I go back I'll definitely be asking for her. For the kindness and wonderful service she gave us I wanted to do something for her and let everyone know what a wonderful job she did and that I will be requesting her. read more

I was staying at the hotel across the street and my friends and I were looking for a quick place to have lunch. Cracker Barrel was right across the street and seemed like a good pick. Luckily we were seated right away. I ordered coleslaw and a baked potato, both of which were delicious. Everyone else was very happy with their meals too. Great service! Thanks Cracker Barrel! read more

We have recently been avoiding Cracker Barrel because we have been so disappointed. It used to be one of our favorite breakfast spots. We decided to try the one located in Lake City,FL. Well I have to say we were so impressed. It felt like the old Cracker Barrel is back. The food was perfect! The Pancakes had those amazing crispy edges, and everything was fresh and hot. But most of all the service was amazing! Our food did take about 25 mins to come out but it was well worth the wait. Lake City Cracker Barrel you made our day! read more

My steak was undercooked and I was sick for a week, also, my toddler was choking and no one helped. Never coming back here. I'll stay in Texas with my jack in the box. Do better Florida. read more

All staff was friendly. Alyssa (I think she spells her name differently) was our server and she was good. The blueberry pancakes were good. The bacon was under cooked, no hash brown casserole and no blue berry syrup. Offered us diced potatoes instead of the hash brown casserole and they were greasy and undercooked. There was NO ONE walking around serving coffee like they usually do at Cracker Barrel. I was extremely disappointed with our breakfast. read more

Sunday afternoon, expect crowds. Service was chaotic with orders coming out wrong and the food incorrectly prepared. Server didn't check on our table of six often enough and we had to flag down other staff to get refills, etc. The kicker was finding a clear plastic lid from a to-go container tucked into the bottom of my glass of ice water which I had been drinking from all through lunch. Biscuits are good though. Thumbs down, no desire to return. read more

Celebrated my Mom's 85th Birthday here today, (Sunday 2pm) we were quickly sat, our server Kathy took the cake we'd brought to the cooler, our delicious food was delivered correct and promptly, Our server was outstanding!! We even shared our cake with her. Thank you for a Great Visit! read more

Food overall is delicious. My only complaint is that the side dishes were not even warm but the entrees were. In my opinion the serving sizes got smaller. The roast beef platter that's supposed to be like "pot roast" was just two pieces of beef covered with a bit of gravy. The beef stew had no meat in it but did after we got a fresh order. Our server Brandy was amazing and took great care of us. read more

We stopped by this Cracker Barrel and had dinner here. We weren't really hungry but decided to have breakfast for dinner. The food is good, nothing fancy, just plain good food. Service was friendly and we were served within a reasonable amount of time. Sugar free pancake syrup is available when you ask for it. The manager visited our table to be sure our visit was satisfactory. The bathroom was maintained and clean. I love going to Cracker Barrel and walking through their country store, always something cutesy to want to take home. Their front porch lined with rocking chairs are always an invitation to down home comfort. I would return. read more

/we stopped here on the way to Pensacola. We were served right away, however some of the other customers were a bit rude. But the meal took quite a bit to come out, and just as another reviewer noted the side dishes were cold. I received no more than what I asked for, however when I ordered the same thing (exactly) at the Crestview location, no only was the presentation better, but there was a side cup of coleslaw on the plate, which was a part of the description when I referred back to the menu. The server was not very responsive and did not check back with us.... I hope it was an off day for the location. read more

I'm embarrassed to say that somehow we ended up stopping here twice on the same road trip-- once going to Orlando and again on the return. No excuses really, I'd seen the reviews (which spoke of the same things we experienced) and we were totally forwarned. The only thing I can say is that this location was convenient for our travel schedule. Shame on me and shame on Cracker Barrel! Both times, the service was severely lacking. Like, we sat at the table for over 5 minutes before anyone came to greet us lacking. Both times! Our first server said she was busy "on the phone", the next server offered up no explanations (not sure which is worse.) When our first server was actually AT our table, she was just fine. Our second server seemed annoyed to be waiting on us. When we were seated under a fan and asked for it to be lowered so our food wouldn't get cold, her response seemed as though we were asking to move mountains! Food was fine, nothing more nothing less. Still so disappointing as CB is usually pretty consistent in all regards. And from the reviews, it really does sound like a managerial and/or employee issue. Corporate, I'm taking to you! read more

Have you ever had one of those days where you wish you could have made a series of completely different decisions? Well going to Cracker Barrel in Lake City was one of those. Their kitchen must have been having a bad day because I could see in the eyes of most of the servers that they were frustrated at the pace of things. For us, we had been driving for a pretty long time and were tired. Cracker Barrel is usually a safe bet so we chose it to grab a nice "safe" meal. When we got there the wait was reasonable to get a table but once we got to a table each stage of the meal had a longer and longer wait. One person in our group got the chicken and noodles which turned out ok. The rest was not so good. I got the special of the day which was cornmeal breaded catfish. It was very dark in color like old street bricks after decades of traffic. The inside of the fish finger had some white but blobs of grey and this brownish color that (for me) is not normal and didn't seem right. The coleslaw was good and ended up being most of my caloric intake followed by the cornbread. You may ask, why didn't I send it back? We had a timeline and I just didn't want to wait. I would not blame my server or the servers I saw running the show. They were hustling when things became available. Watching other tables, I am certain that we were not an isolated case since everyone looked frustrated. There was one tall slim female server who should be a be part of Cirque du Soleil based on her ability to carry un-imaginable amounts of items from the kitchen out to the waiting tables. I just hope that we were there on an off day. Cracker Barrel is a good company but this was just not a good experience. read more

We stopped by here for lunch on New Year's Day and was pleasantly surprised after some of the negative reviews. All our orders came out hot and just as we requested. They served complimentary black-eye peas, which were yummy as well. If I am passing through again at meal time, I will not hesitate to come back! read more

These people are NOT a friend to law enforcement nor Veterans the food was sub-standard and the service was poor. Anytime I asked for anything the waitress acted like I was bothering her. WILL NOT BE BACK read more

We ordered the breakfast sampler (again) and pancakes. Both dishes were great, but the pancakes were excellent. Light and fluffy and lots of flavor ! Our waitress, Ms June is the best. Wonderful sense of humor and makes you feel like your being served right from her kitchen ! Can't wait to go back. This is our second time and location we've visited - seems to be consistent in look, feel and great staff ! Service and food has been excellent so far - an awesome find ! read more

Ummmm..... Southern restaurant that stops serving sweet pickles, that's so confusing! They've taken the grilled chicken tenderloin sandwich off of the menu. I guess because they stopped serving sweet pickles, who knew...what's up with that! So yes I did get up and leave. I went specifically for the grilled chicken tenderloin sandwich with those delightful sweet pickles. read more

This is the worst Cracker Barrel that I have ever been to. The hostess was sitting guest in a manner and location in the restaurant that would make you feel unwelcome and secluded. The sampler that I ordered was piled all together on one plate. The fried okra was soggy due to being placed next to the green beans. The dumplings were piled directly on top of the country ham which tasted like pure salt. And the meatloaf was undercooked and cold. I would not recommend this particular location to anybody. read more

Might be the worst Cracker Barrel I've ever visited. At least half a dozen tables were left dirty for 20-30 minutes. The bathroom was a mess. Took 40 minutes to get our food and when it arrived, it was awful. My wife got a chef salad and it came with an egg I can't even describe. The waitress tried to tell us it was a deviled egg (not what comes on a chef salad) but the yolk mixture was oozing out of the egg. My daughter's fried shrimp meal had 3 shrimp, one shrimp tail, a piece of chicken and what I'm guessing is a hush puppy. Never again read more

Cracker Barrel - Not sure what kind of egg this is that came on my wife's chef salad. It's beyond disgusting - American Near Me - Lake City, Florida

Arrived just after the Sunday noon rush. Was in and out within 40 minutes. Food was everything you expect at a Cracker Barrel: decent. Service was first rate. Dinged 1 star because bathrooms looked like what a bathroom would look like after a Sunday brunch rush. read more

On my last trip through Lake City FL following a football game in Jacksonville, a friend and I stopped in the Cracker Barrel restaurant for dinner. The next morning I realized that I had misplaced my car keys somewhere between his house in The Villages and Jacksonville FL. either going to or returning. Since he was driving I did not notice until the next morning. After several anxious moments and calls to the stadium management my wife and I returned to our home in Atlanta (using her keys). My friend's wife asked if I had checked with the Cracker Barrel. I had not so I called and after describing the set to first the hostess and then to the manager my keys were sent back to me! At Cracker Barrels all over the food is good and the service is great but the professional treatment from Ms. Williams and Ms. Christy made a trip to Florida one I won't soon forget and I will remain a Cracker Barrel customer for a long time! read more

This was such a disappointment for a Cracker Barrel. Our waitress was so rude and acted like we were just the biggest bother to her, and then while standing in line to pay the woman who's line we were in called person after person who had gotten there after us and just kept telling us to wait. It was beyond rude and very bad customer service. Definitely wouldn't eat at this location again. read more

If I could give this place a half a star I would. The staff are just there. Not happy about it either. The food was not fit for my dogs. We left and went next door to Steak and Shake. read more

Best service, food and time efficient stop we could have made today. Extremely attentive and friendly staff. Immediate seating...within 5 minutes of arrival. New vegan item, kale and Brussel sprout salad, to die for. Prompt service of food and beverages. Back on the highway within 35 minutes. Happy as clams! read more

Service was sloppy. Food was very bland and I wasn't happy. Waitress had attitude like hurry up already... Wasn't to inviting at all. Cook gave horrible low amount of sides and greens were mushy and bowl filled with liquid. read more

Stopped here for breakfast on our way to the river. Hostess and waitress was very nice, food was good as usual. The kids of course had fun playing checkers and the table top game. read more

The food was ok, the service was horrible, our waitress was sweet but the people that brought our food ...rude! We waited 15 mins for our biscuits and fries after our food was brought to our table. I don't think I would go back. read more

This was a great breakfast stop. The service was excellent and the food was delicious! Easy to find exiting the freeway. I enjoyed the gift shop & the restaurant. read more

WORST SERVICE I'VE EVER GOT!! They forgot about our drinks after serving us our biscuits, and laughed about it. We didn't get our drinks until they served our food. And the waitress was coughing all up in our faces, and the food!! Don't even get me started!! That tasted like buttyhole._. My momma had diarrhea!! She couldn't even get out of the place!! read more

I would give NO stars if possible- never got waited on after 20 minutes and alerted hostess ....walked out... Worse Cracker Barrel ever.

Great food, but service wasn't up to the usual expected at a cracker barrel. On a positive note, was able to get seating for 18 on a Sunday afternoon even with the normal church rush. read more

worst food I've ever had there! Service was awful and we didn't even get our drinks till we were almost done eating. Took almost 40mins before we even got our food. #feelingdisappointed read more

Not impressed! We love Cracker Barrel, just not that one. Service was questionable and the food was not good. Water was gross and my husbands Coke tasted like pure syrup. Neither of us were really impressed with the food. read more

Good Food....always good food, the only reason for the 4 star is because it is not always hot. But good!! Keeps me going back almost every Saturday.....and I just have to mention. I just noticed a review on here that is just mean... he also did this same thing on another local restaurants reviews GEORGE, stop being so grumpy lol. Eat at home if you can't be pleased. LOL Almost every review he has made is to bash someone. So be cautious about what you read. read more

Just returned from this restaurant and could not wait to post this review. This is the worst Cracker Barrel I have ever visited anywhere. Ordered the Southern trout and 1) was informed that they did not yet have the brown rice pilaf available even though it was after 5 p.m. 2) received only one piece of trout instead of the two advertised on the menu 3) did not receive the corn relish on the dish as stated on the menu 4) our dining partners were told that there were no chilled glassware available for their root beers 5) both the mens and womens bathrooms were dirty with used paper towels overflowing the trash containers. I have dined at many other Cracker Barrels in the past and never experienced these kinds of problems. This location obviously needs a major management change. If there was a zero star rating available I would have easily clicked it. I feel sorry for the servers because they were trying their best and, unfortunately, will bear the brunt of these problems through lower tips. read more
