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

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

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

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!

This is a difficult review to properly balance. We'd seen the rooftop restaurant from my son's new…read morecollege apartment and went for dinner. After reading the sign indicating we need to see the host inside, we went. It was packed and looked modern chic, with low lights and high tables and tall chairs. We didn't have reservations and got the sorry, but we're full, to which I said we wanted to eat upstairs. To that, we got "okay" but that is a "different experience," which I frankly took as pretension... until I got upstairs. Then we understood. It was mostly empty on this Saturday evening, opposite the main restaurant below, and had a single person working the whole space, a Bar tender who explained we were to pull up the menu with a QRC, order, and they would bring the food; if we wanted drinks, we needed to come to the bar. Ordered food. Went to bar and waited. Good local craft beer on tap. Decent view, pleasant weather. And then a half hour passed. For sandwiches and tacos. Few minutes later, I went in to make sure our order was sent and that the kitchen actually received it. There was no animated chef in toque at a stove to indicate it was working, but she assured me it was. Another 15 minutes go by, and our beers are low, and we're considering.... Leaving or raising a stink when the bartender leaves her bar, looks at us, and goes down the stairs without a word, returning a few minutes later with nothing. That was odd, but seemed like progress. A few minutes later, our food arrives. Perhaps 50-60 minutes after ordering it. The runner tells us the manager apologies for the wait and has comped all our food. Without our having to say a word. We ate a fine arugula salad with watermelon, blueberries, and cheese. A good chicken sandwich with the most unusual Parmesan parsley fries--they were more thick chips, fried into curls, and topped with fried parsley and grated Parmesan. If you order it on the side, it comes with aioli, which was excellent. My burger was outstanding. I could taste the smoke, and it came with not slices, but small cubes of bacon. No need for sauce. My wife's shrimp tacos were very good eating. Frankly, it was so good, I *might* have forgiven them the wait. They did right to acknowledge their mistake. When we visit Binghampton again, we'll make reservations for the main dining room, which we were told has a much larger menu. We paid our bar tab via their Toast app. So yes, table service, but no waitron. It was a different experience, true to the host's word.

We have been wanting to try this place for…read morea long time, but it seemed like last winter they had limited hours and days, and they were closed during summer! We finally got to try it after a year living in the area. We got the following: lavender vanilla latte - high quality coffee beans used, it wasn't that "milky"/no coffee type of latte. It was made to perfection, an espresso taste balanced w the vanilla lavender. The buffalo chicken sandwich was actually a very generous portion of chicken and right amount of buffalo sauce. The havarti/spinach/truffle oil crepe - the moment they brought the crepe to the table I could smell the very fragrant truffles. For dessert, we shared the rose hip mascarpone crepe - perfect amount of sweetness and eclectic flavor. Overall everything was on point, food was tasty and service was perfect. The only thing to improve is maybe the hours in the future? Not sure if during winter time they will change their schedule again but we had a hard time last winter going there due to timing.

We sat at a high top and ordered drinks... not the fastest service, but seemed to be just one bartender. Not our favorite cocktails as they were just a little off. Just one of the 4 would have gotten the same drink again. For food, seems like everyone else wanted their chicken sandwich!!! Nice sized breaded chicken on bun with delicious, crispy fries!!! I also loved my chicken and feta Greek type salad. Nice portion with perfectly cooked and cut chicken. The flavors were so good, I didn't even try their dressing which they serve on the side. We were a bit full for dessert, but also only option was their crepes... maybe next time. A good option if you have family members with food allergies, or are vegan/vegetarian. Everything is clearly marked on menu.
