    Garry H.

    When I'm in the mood for American food, CB is always a good choice. I've seen plenty of negative reviews about the food and the service. But that is not my experience. The food has always been good, and portion size is usually more than I can eat. Most of the servers are knowledgeable and experienced, and will provide you with good service. But again, always check your receipt to make sure it's right. There were 2 extra charges on my bill. One was supposed to be free, and the other was something that we did not order. The cashier did take care of the problem, but still, always check. Hmmm, CB breakfast tomorrow sounds good!

    We usually do breakfast at Cracker Barrel's. Traveling so we had an early dinner. My entree pot roast was delicious. My husband did not love his country fried steak. Steak was not seasoned and gravy was like wallpaper paste. Greens were tasteless. Great service !!! Great breads

    Melted mushy hash brown casserole. Not crispy like picture in menu.

    Sadly disappointed in a new menu item. Today I tried the hash brown casserole/pot roast shepherds pie. Claimed to have mashed potatoes on the bottom with roast, carrots, and peas and a hash brown crust. Waitress was sweet and efficient. Restrooms were clean. Payout line moved okay for lunch hour.

    Nice and cozy feel, walking into this restaurant on a cold Sunday morning the week of Thanksgiving! The staff were caring and welcoming. From the shop to the restaurant they were very kind. Our waiter was really helpful and checked in on us frequently, made sure we were taken care of. The food was great and yummy! Overall felt like a homey experience, like we were eating in someone's cabin. Would come back!

    I've purchased almost every game in the Tiny Arcade line. Now this one is mine!

    If you follow my content, then you know that the Mysterious Ryan M. steers clear of chain restaurants whenever possible. He is a culinary adventurer (never call him a "foodie"), a haughty, conceited gastronome prone to beginning Yelp reviews with narcissistic, self-aggrandizing, sesquipedalian introductions. On occasion, though, when the pickings are slim, he will swallow his pride (and often choke, for it's a lot to swallow) and patronize a chain restaurant. Such was the case on a recent road trip to Abilene. Breakfast options were minimal according to the local Yelp, so off we went to Cracker Barrel. A few service issues notwithstanding, my dad and I enjoyed our breakfast. Our first impression was not positive. As my dad and I stood at the hostess station, we observed several staff at the gift shop chatting and joking amongst themselves. No hostess was in sight, and none of the servers or staff at the restaurant acknowledged our presence. After several minutes, called out to one of the employees at the gift shop and asked if they could seat us. One of the staff snapped to attention and escorted us to an unbussed table. A manager intervened and reprimanded her for seating us without consulting him first. It was an uncomfortable exchange to witness. Even more uncomfortable was the snarky, patronizing comment he made to us after she left: "She has good intentions at times, bless her soul." I considered calling him out, but hunger superseded that urge. A busser wiped down the table and we sat down. My "Sunrise Sampler" breakfast was hearty, varied, and exactly what I wanted. The sunny-side-up eggs were cooked perfectly (slightly runny yolk, crisp edges, fully cooked whites), the bacon was crisp without being burnt, the sausage patties were browned on the edges and juicy in the middle, and the biscuits were flaky and buttery. With rare exception*, grits strike me as bland food best suited for nursing home residents. These were no different, but that's less an indictment of the kitchen and more a matter of personal taste (i.e., I like food that *tastes good*). Our server was prompt, attentive, and ingratiating. Few servers can walk the thin line between ingratiating and overbearing, but she read us well. She laughed at my dad's corny jokes (e.g., "He and I are gonna be on a separate ticket; I don't even know him." Ugh!) and seemed to enjoy her job, a rarity at chain restaurants. I tipped her accordingly. No trip to Cracker Barrel would be complete without a visit to the gift shop. Over the years, I've found some pretty cool little knickknacks, including several miniature, keychain-sized arcade games. These games in the "Tiny Arcade" line are admittedly a novelty, but I've enjoyed playing with them at work like a true American Psycho executive getting paid to goof on in his plush office. On this occasion, I picked up a new entry in the series: "BurgerTime"! If you've mastered the controls of the original full-size arcade cabinet, then I challenge you to control Peter Pepper with a joystick the size of a fire ant. It's actually a lot of fun. But I digress; the gift shop is cool and I urge you to check it out. If you know of a better place for breakfast in Abilene, please steer me towards it. For the time being, I would recommend this Cracker Barrel location. If you go, expect an unnecessarily long wait followed by a hearty, reasonably priced, no-frills breakfast. I've noticed that the prices have increased a bit since my last visit to a Cracker Barrel, so the next time I visit one, I'll bring my mom's vintage menu from 1969 and demand a breakfast platter for $1.75. *One such exception is the shrimp and grits entrée at Peggy's on the Green in Boerne. These grits are creamy, cheesy, and chock full of savory goodness.

    I placed a to go order and the guy that took my order was going to put my order on a napkin..red flag one. He said that the typical to go person wasn't there today. Okay I asked him how long it would be and he said about 20 minutes..cool I need to go across the street to Walmart and pick a few things up. I come back 30 minutes later to give them plenty of time and my guess is they had not started my order at this point. I walked around their store for another 30 minutes waiting for my food. I get my food and check the order and several things are messed up/missing. Food was mostly cold and disappointing for $60. I don't expect much at a chain, but they didn't even try..seemed short staffed and everyone that was there was confused.

    Picked up a breakfast to go - decent. I stopped in to order a breakfast to go - around 7:45 am on a Thursday. They weren't very busy. I asked how to order at the cash register. The gal there radioed someone to come out to take my order. About 5 minutes later, a gal came out and acknowledged me and said she'd be back to take my order. Another 5 minutes and another gal asks to seat me. Explained I wanted to place an order to go. She asked that I wait a few moments while she sat some people. She did return and she took my order. So - a bit disjointed but we got it done. It took about 10 minutes to get my food. I suppose that's about right. Took the food back to the RV to share with the wife. Everything was there and cooked right. So, a good experience overall - just a bit of a hard time trying to place the order. Might do it online next time and swing by to pickup.

Our server was friendly and energetic. She took us through what they have. Sides are communal, there was bread, beans, mash and cream corn. These were unlimited and free but not to be taken away. My husband has the chicken fried steak. It was the size of the dinner plate. He said it was super tasty. The batter was light, and steak was moist even though it's well cooked through. I had the lunch size catfish. Chose the tartare sauce. The batter was also light and fish was flaky. I took a bite of the chicken tender (our friends ordered), it was moist too! We finished lunch with a cherry cobler and their homemade fresh cream. If was to die for. Gotta try.

I had to use my flashlight to read the menu and to get opt the restroom in the back. Menu is simple, making it easy to figure out what to order. The homemade rolls are delicious and they have butter and honey on the table. I had their chicken and dumplings and my spouse had the CFS. I felt that the cream gravy was lack-luster and needed more seasoning. The chicken and dumplings were on-point and the sides we selected (mashed potatoes, corn and green beans) were delicious. I do wish that they had regular size spoons (or teaspoons) available. i did not like using a giant serving spoon to eat. But that did not detract from the taste of the food.

The food was just okay and the ambiance was nice, albeit slightly dated and themed. Read on for details... Food: The steaks were very good. They just were. No complaints there. The calamari was too heavily fried; downright crunchy, and the calamari may as well have been absent. If I had been blindfolded, I honestly couldn't have been able to distinguish between the fried green beans (I think?) that were in the mix and the calamari itself. The sides were unremarkable. As was the table bread. The dessert I chose was a special; a peanutbutter pie. It was very rich, and would have been all right paired with some fresh whipped cream atop; instead it was smothered in chocolate sauce, despite the chocolate ganache which was a significant part of the pie itself. It made for any almost inedible dessert. ...So why the 3 stars? The service was perfect. And don't forget that steak...

From the moment you arrive, it feels like you're out in the middle of nowhere--in the best way possible. The rustic atmosphere is incredible, and on the cool day we visited, they had a wood-burning fireplace going right in the middle of the dining room. It made the whole experience feel cozy and authentic. What really stood out, though, was the people. The service was absolutely top-notch from start to finish. I even had the chance to chat with a woman who's been working there for over 20 years--she shared some of the restaurant's history and how it's evolved over time, which made the visit even more special. For food, we started with the fried quail legs--perfectly cooked and seriously delicious (we could've easily eaten more). For the main course, I had the ribeye cooked medium rare, and it was spot on--full of flavor and didn't need a thing added. My wife went with the hamburger steak and loved it as well. Great food, even better people, and an atmosphere that's hard to beat. We'll definitely be back.
