Steak tips
Lanny H.

We weren't set on eating at Cracker Barrel, but let me start by saying we were surprised at this location. They sat us promptly with our menus. Soon after the server came over for drink and any appetizer orders we had. Our server was very friendly and offered suggestions for us. Drinks came out quickly then shortly afterwards the appetizer trio we ordered came out. Another 10 minutes after appetizers, then our meals arrived. There was soooo much food and everything tasted great. It was all reasonably priced too. From a place we had low expectations, they hit one out of the park for us. We would definitely visit this location again! Not to mention how friendly our server was. She helped make this a great experience.

To start off i was with a program and we stopped to cracker barrel on the way, ive never been to one of these before but with our group amount we were seated pretty quickly i got breaded okra steak rice and shrimp the food came out pretty quickly honestly and it wasnt too bad although i wasnt a fan of the rice as it tasted bland the okra was okay aswell as the steak which had a lot of fat but it was still pretty decent. the cornbread i believe was my biggest problem, maybe because of where im from it's different but here i did not enjoy it at all not sweet and tasted like straight grits, butter was provided with it but i just chose not to use it as i was already half full. the staff on the otherhand was phenomenal super kind and welcoming and easy to make small talk with overall the food was a 3.5/5 and id go if it were for a small quick stop

Ketchup packets
Jacob B.

I ordered [dine-in / takeout] for Easter dinner for myself and my mom and were really disappointed. The broccoli looked overcooked/brown, the chicken tenders were chewy instead of crispy, and the meatloaf came with plain ketchup just poured on top instead of their usual baked glaze. The mashed potatoes and gravy tasted exactly like KFC's -- not bad, but not the homestyle Cracker Barrel quality we expected. Service was [whatever it was -- friendly? slow?]. For a holiday meal, this fell flat. Probably won't choose them for special occasions again." Why did the meal came with ketchup packets if it wan't on top of the Meatloaf ?

When traveling on the east coast, there are the usual staples: Dennys, Perkins, Waffle House and of course Cracker Barrel. Ambience: when you first walk in, you enter a "country store", complete with souvenirs, cast iron skillets and clothing?! They are going for that little house on the prairie feel. The dining room is full of wooden countey chairs and a large fireplace. Food: comfort food. We ordered: Fried Chicken - freshly battered fried chicken. This was surprisingly moist on the inside, with a very well seasoned crunchy skin. This was a hit. 5/5 Country Fried Steak - My go to whenever I think about southern comfort food. This was flavorful, but a little dry. 4/5 Fried Apples - candied apples that are presumably fried and coated in a sweet sauce. 4/5 TL/DR: when on a long road trip, if you see a billboard for Cracker Barrel at the next exit, make that your rest stop, your tummy will thank you later.

Stopped in one evening on our way to an event. Who doesn't like "brinner?" Hubby enjoyed the blueberry pancakes, bacon and eggs. I ate the fried catfish with dumplings and green beans. The catfish could have been fried for maybe 4-5 more minutes, it wasn't very crispy. It was very flavorful. No wait, so quick service. For ambiance- come on, it's Cracker Barrel ;)

Good food great prices some technical difficulties but they were nice about it . Lots of parking speedy waitress. Family place to come and enjoy.

Roast Beef
david l.

Cracker barrel is still an inexpensive meal and a good road trip stop for a meal. However their portions has gotten much smaller. It's also alot less crowded these days and no wait. It won't be the best meal but it's fulling and does taste comforting. The fried chicken and roast beef are the best dishes.

Southern Fried Chicken
Heily P.

Haven't been to CB in years but was so happy got to stop by this one. Got some southern fried chicken which was so good with mashed potatoes and pancakes. Everything was great. They did get my husbands order wrong twice but our waitress Isabelle was amazing! She made my iced tea just right. Not too sweet. I highly recommend

Grandma's Sampler Pancake Breakfast

This is a great place for breakfast/brunch. The restaurant is huge and you can sign up for the waitlist online. There's also a country store in front to pass the time while you wait. The portions are generous, servers were very friendly and food came out fast.

Ale:I ordered the country fried steak with fried okra, hash brown casserole and mac and cheese. Everything tasted great and filled up my stomach real good. It was all a fair price aswell. Their ice tea was yummy and the ambiance was amazing with the tusti Alo: I ordered the chicken tenders and pancakes. The chicken tenders were okay but the pancakes made up for it. The biscuits made the trip worth while as it was super moist along with butter. The service was really nice but very speedy,

Tips, Tenders n' Shrimp Platter

Cracker Barrel is always my go to place for a sit down family dinner. My girls love it. I love it. My partner loves it. This location was nice and clean, as you would expect. The staff was friendly, and the table didn't wobble, which isn't always a guaranteed thing. Anyway, ourfood came out really fast. Everybody was happy. Got candy on the way out, which is the way. Seriously, who can resist getting candy when leaving Cracker Barrel? It's a thing.

Bacon Mac and cheese

Who doesn't love Cracker Barrel and who doesn't stop at Cracker Barrel on a road trip?! My boyfriend and I were on our way home from our weekend getaway, and stopped here for lunch! He ordered country fried steak with a side of dumplings and bacon mac and cheese. I ordered chicken fried chicken with a side of fried apples and loaded tots. Everything delish as always! Service perfect. Everything about our lunch was amazing. Cracker Barrel is definitely always a treat and we enjoy coming here every time! Don't forget to browse around the store!

Corn bread and biscuits
Emily C.

A CLASSIC. I love stopping at Cracker Barrel when I'm going on road trips! They always look exactly the same no matter which one you go to. The service is always great but the food is always the same across all Cracker Barrels. I came with a party of 7 on a Friday night and we were seated fairly quickly. We only had to wait because they had to set up the table for us but otherwise, you'd be seated immediately since they've always had tables available when I've gone. We ordered a ton - clam chowder, grilled sirloin steak, country fried steak, southern fired chicken, and grilled catfish, all of which came with 2-3 sides. They have regular sides like broccoli, fried okra, corn, collard greens and more but for a little extra, you can also get their signature sides such as the loaded hashbrown casserole tots and bacon mac and cheese. All of their entrees also come with corn bread and biscuits. The food is definitely a Southern country feel. The food is very filling, pretty heavy, but oh so very tasty! The clam chowder was veeerrryyy thick. Their fried foods are always fried perfectly, even the fried okra side! Everything was pretty heavily seasoned but still filled all my Cracker Barrel feels so it was good to me! Also, a must get side is the hashbrown casserole. It definitely is one of my favs! It's potatoes, cheese and tastiness. Definitely stop at a Cracker Barrel when you're traveling! It's such a classic road trip stop and the service is always great.

Ask the Community - Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

Is there a way to pre-arrange for a group, other than maybe buses? I see it's possible to get on a wait list -- but not for more than six people. I am talking a group of 10-15. It just would beat waiting and waiting.

Call them to pre-book your arrival time and number of guests. They appreciate the heads up!

I'm not a huge fan of chicken wings, but guys... Guys... GUUUUUUYS. The chicken wings here are legit DELICIOUS. The vibe of the restaurant is just chill and relaxed. It's clean, the service is great (the server took care of drink refills without us asking, checked back with us regularly & in a timely manner, and brought the items from our order out as they were ready), and the price point is great for what you get as well. We ordered 4 different kinds of wings - Cajun, Black Cherry Pepper BBQ, Carolina Gold (the star of the show), and Hot Honey Garlic. I'm a bit of a lightweight when it comes to heat, so I didn't try the Cajun... but I loved the bit of fruit flavor from the black cherry wings, and really enjoyed the bit of spice from the hot honey. Those Carolina Gold wings though... I would come back again and again for those alone. Consider me a chicken wing convert, I guess! ALSO... I almost forgot that we have the buffalo chicken eggrolls as an appetizer. Perfectly crunchy outer eggroll with delicious buffalo chicken inside. I'm not a bleu cheese gal (blasphemy with buffalo chicken, but I don't care), and the server brought a little side of ranch out for us to dip our eggrolls in. *chef's kiss* TL;DR GO. FOR. THE WINGS. Seriously... you're missing out if you don't. Get a bunch of flavors, share with friends (or eat them yourself - I won't judge), and wallow in the sauce-y goodness.

I had no expectations when I came here besides my motivation to eat because I was starving. When you enter the restaurant, you can order right away. To the left they have a bunch of tables. There are 2 or 3 benches outside if you wanted to sit outside. You just have to go all round through the front door to get there. Let's talk about the chicken tenders - I thought I was getting some regular diner kids menu quality nuggets but they were elite! They were soo crispy and super tender on the inside. The chicken was full of flavor. The best chicken tenders I've had in a while. I normally don't order these so I was so happy that I did! Now for the steak sandwich- I'm not sure what I was expecting but it was not this- a whole piece of meat in bread. I feel like it's a great value compared to other steak sandwiches I've had before. The meat itself plus the sauce on it made it delicious. There were no rough parts, everything was excellent. It was a big sandwich so my partner and I split it, or else I would not have been able to eat it on my own.

It was one of my favorite sandwich. Slices of rib eye sautéed with pepper and onion. We opt for no cheese cause of allergies, but the sandwich was very juicy. No need any condiments. They have two locations. This one is farther north about 15 mins away from Binghamton University but closer to Suny Broome. Though there is a closer location to Binghamton. I heard that the rib eye sandwich is only available in the other location. Def worth the drive up. We also ordered the onion rings and chicken nuggets. But the star was the rib eye sandwich. Will beback very soon.

It's your basic sports bar definitely more than enough TV's to cover whatever sport you'd want to watch. We ordered pretzel bites with beer cheese the pretzels were very salty but warm and in my opinion better without the cheese it definitely is more like nacho cheese rather than beer cheese but it's not bad just nothing to write home about. I got the Caprese Fried Chicken sandwich and it was pretty good and the fries in my opinion are the real show stopper crispy but not burnt the perfect fry homemade I believe too. My girlfriend got the Chicken Philly in a wrap and she enjoyed it. We had a new server training with Julianna and he was great very attentive asked if I wanted a refill when my drink was gone.

I asked for a Caesar salad with romaine hearts/light green leaves. When it was served, the bowl was filled with dark green Romain. This was very disappointing. I took half of the leaves out. The rest was edible with the shaved Parmesan cheese. I would have appreciated if the server informed me that the salad was made with mostly dark green leaves. A simple communication would have been considerate. She did offer me a separate menu item but I really wanted a salad, so I declined her offer. I ate 1/2 of the salad and my husband ate 1/2 of his sub then we paid the bill. I appreciate that our server maintained a pleasant disposition but we will not return.

For the most up-to-date menu, they recommended visiting their Facebook page because the menu on Yelp is outdated. The chicken wings were super crispy, as I requested... I ordered a traditional "medium" Buffalo hot sauce with blue cheese. They were fresh and hot. I would have liked more than 3 celery sticks (and perhaps the bare wings could have used a touch more seasoning before frying)....BUT these wings were still excellent! This tavern is located on a street corner across from our Airbnb, in the heart of the city; a "walkable" location in Binghamton. I noticed an outdoor seating area, but there were no guests outside and the heaters were not lit. The staff inside were friendly and quick when we picked up. And get this...I think our wait times from order to pick up was 20 min...Super fast! The only reason I didn't offer 5 stars was that the wings are actually on the small side and one order costs over $15 (seems a little expensive for just 10 wings). We ordered 1 1/2 orders for the 2 of us. That said, I would definitely order again from Peterson's because the service & quality of the food was great. I would highly recommend if you are hanging in downtown Binghamton and you need some GOOD bar food, to try this place!

We came towards the end of the lunch rush (1-2PM?) and were seated immediately. The ambiance is hip and buzzy, with lots of colorful decor. The menu had some very tempting options, even for vegetarians. We started with the buffalo brussel sprouts, a stroke of genius. I'd never thought about dousing this tasty veggie in hot sauce and blue cheese, but it makes sense. This was a very tasty app, and the sprouts were roasted perfectly with crispy outer skins which provided the crunch needed for a good buffalo dish. The special that day was some kind of french dip sandwich which one of my dining companions got. Another one got a cajun catfish sandwich and graciously offered me a bite. It was flavorful. For my main, I got the spring roll bowl and decided to add tofu. It had noodles, peanuts, a sweet thai chili sauce, and lots of veggies. It was MASSIVE. Prices are a little high but the portions definitely made it worth it. I could have taken half home as leftovers if I'd wanted. The restaurant also has a coffee bar which we decided last minute to partake in instead of venturing out into the rain to find a different cafe. This was such a convenient option because we didn't have to fight to find parking or brave the weather to go to a second location. I did a pistachio latte. Someone else at my table got a Mexican hot chocolate. I treated myself to the homemade whipped cream. The coffee hit the spot. Throughout the whole experience the staff was wonderful. Our food came out quickly, and the servers were very friendly and joking with us. I'd come back if I was in the area.
