Sometimes you just need breakfast for dinner, and this place definitely hit the spot. Since it's a chain, I went in with reasonable expectations, but our delivery order was actually pretty solid. We ordered the pecan pancakes, sausage, bacon, eggs, biscuits, and grits. The sausage and bacon were cooked just right. But let's get back to those pecan pancakes. They were loaded with pecans, but somehow still managed to be light and fluffy. That was the standout for me. Not a life changing breakfast, but a very satisfying one! read more

My wife and I were traveling and the sign from this Cracker Barrel welcomed us from the highway. The staff welcomed us in and treated us like extended family. We shopped for a little bit and got our seat. Aidan- our server was great.. My wife knew the menu and encouraged me to try the dumplings and fried okra- both amazing!! I also had the fried chicken and enjoyed a biscuit- OMG.. make sure to stop in you are in Binghamton!!! read more

It's been a minute since I've visited Cracker Barrel there have been some updates and changes. Always enjoy the walkthrough of the general store and the walk down memory lane of the old gadgets and toys. This is always a selling point of visiting CB. The food might be better now. The menu has definitely changed, some of my old favorites are no longer there but the new menu is pretty good. One member of my party was disappointed in the chewy sirloin steak but aside from that plate which wasn't one that our server recommended, everything else was fantastic. The Tuesday special was definitely the way to go for me. Country Fried Pork Chops, golden-fried, and smothered in country gravy was delicious. Don't skimp on the corn muffins either! Chicken Fried Chicken was also a favorite in my group. Our server was the best, drinks were constantly refilled and she was present for any additional needs. I wouldn't have an issue dropping in the next time I'm around. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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 ? read more

I know a lot of restaurants in this chain can be Hit or Miss but this one was actually pretty good. I always stick with what I know which is Breakfast or catfish. I don't like to be disappointed and I'm usually not when I order these things. read more

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. read more

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 ;) read more

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. read more

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.

Passing through on our way to the Finger Lakes region of NY, we stopped for a 1:30 PM lunch on a rainy Saturday and surprisingly were seated withing just a few minutes - even though we were told there would be a 10 minute wait. Wow! So much faster. We ordered "Momma's" Breakfast with Panckaes and eggs plus a side-dish platter (Your choice of 4 sides)/ Everything was served nice and hot and right away. Good service. For Cracker Barrel? This was terrific. read more

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. read more

This is straight up Comfort Food! The gift shop is gonna' tempt you, the bathrooms are always in the same place and the little peg game is always on the table. Is it a little salty? Yes. Do they add sugar to almost everything? Yes. Come on! It's Cracker Barrel for G-Dr's sake! They don't pretend to be anything but a sure thing. And by the way, our waiter, Nicholas W, was absolutely awesome. read more

It's Cracker Barrel, you kind of know what you're going to get. I wish my eggs came out hotter than they did but it was super busy when we were there so I'm willing to overlook that. What I'm not willing to overlook however was that even though I ordered two eggs, unless they were quail eggs, there's ZERO chance that there were 2 on my plate. I actually have my own chickens so I have a pretty good grasp on how much real estate 2 eggs should occupy on a plate. This wasn't even close. Our server Ashley was very nice and very attentive. There's not much quality roadside fare on this road which is disappointing but it is what it is. read more

I always plan to end our road trips with a stop at the Barrel. After skiing upstate for a long weekend, I was looking forward to some brunch before heading home. The familiar look of Cracker Barrel's green wood exterior, big yellow sign seen for miles on the highway, kitschy general store and lit fireplace gives me a nice, warm feeling. I was looking forward to maybe some catfish or tasty pancakes, but what is this?? After about coming here for over 20 years, they changed the menu?!? They've had seasonal menu specials before, but never a revamping of the whole menu(s). The familiar separate paper menus for breakfast and lunch & dinner have been replaced by a clear plastic folder with breakfast items on one page and lunch & dinner on the other. Where are my Pecan & Blueberry Pancakes? Uncle Herschel's Big Breakfast, where are you? What about the Steak and Eggs? How can there be no Catfish dinners? The one thing we come to Cracker Barrel for is consistency and now the whole world is turned upside down. It's not a global pandemic proportional problem, but what will Uncle Herschel have for breakfast now??? So I had to settle for Grandma's Sampler Breakfast: 2 eggs sunny-side-up, 1 each of sausage, bacon & ham, hash brown casserole and 2 regular pancakes. Pancakes were on the chewy side, but reasonable. My sausage patty was burnt though. My son tried the seasonal special Country Fried Turkey and they did it very nicely. 2 large battered & deep fried turkey medallions with gravy and sides of squash casserole & mashed potatoes and of course, he had to add an additional side of mac & cheese. I really wished that were my plate. When our excellent server, Bryant came with our check, I asked about the menu changes and he said that corporate was in the middle of a huge menu renovation, which is quite a big deal. But he also said that during this transition period and if we asked nicely, the kitchen could whip up some of the old menu items like pecan or blueberry pancakes, while they still had the supplies. Now he tells me! read more

While the food here wasn't particularly good, the price was super cheap and there were a ton of sides. The meatloaf was quite plain tasting and needed more interesting flavors as well as more of the tomato sauce on top. The turkey strips were a bit salty but otherwise fine. My favorite side was the fried apples, tasted like the filling inside of apple pies. Fun experience overall, especially since you get to shop in the store for a bit before getting your meal. read more

Please understand. Most of my Cracker Barrel reviews are the same. The restaurants are all alike the difference is what I am ordering and staffing. Cracker Barrel is just the All American Go-To place when I am traveling. I mean, how can you go wrong here. No matter where I am it seems like the people are all the same. We came here for breakfast while traveling in Binghamton, NY on our way to the Finger-Lakes. From the second you're on the porch of CB until you sit down, it's like a deja vous from one restaurant to another. Always a nice greeting when you walk in and usually seated right away. Not rushed at all primarily due to the fact that seating is limited do to Covid and many people were sitting outside at their outdoor seating. We were greeted by a very pleasant hostess and followed up by an extremely pleasant server. My wife and myself had a fabulous breakfast consisting of terrific sour dough french toast, link sausages, thick cut bacon and scrambled eggs. This place never disappoints you no matter what you order. All delicious and huge portions of food. A special shout out on the Sour Dough French Toast. It was some serious YUM. Our waiter Bryant was delightful-pleasant-helpful who was genuinely concerned that everything at our table was to our liking. The level of caring here is commendable. The manager came over to say hello too. read more

My family had a lovely time here! I loved the décor of both the country store and restaurant -- especially the wood-burning fireplace! -- and our server was pleasant and helpful. There were many delicious food options, including specials, beverages, and desserts. I ordered the fried catfish with fries and carrots. The carrots were sweet and amazingly delicious -- the best I've ever had! And I loved that our meals came with a plate of biscuits and cornbread to share. The prices were reasonable. After dinner, my family and I perused the country store and bought some cool items, including the highly-recommended salted caramel lip balm. I cannot wait to return! I think this is my new favorite restaurant. :-) read more

Ive been to this Cracker Barrel several times in the past. The service has always been good including this visit. The food has always been okay to good with the consideration of price, until now. My associat ordered the meatloaf with not one but two vegetables. The vegetable sides were horrible. String beans were mushy- looked like they were boiled to death 3 times and again. The other was supposed to be kale but it didn't look or taste like it. The grace was the meatloaf. My meal was simpler though again the sides were unworthy of my hard earned cash. They were bacon and a ham sausage. The manager came by and offered something else which was kind. But what I went for wasn't and paid good money to be disappointed. Never again. read more

Recently stopped at this Cracker Barrel on the way home from Atlantic City. Easy on and off from Interstate, typical chain food that is the same at every one, hot, delicious, and tastes good. Great store for shopping, and place was clean enough. Giving an extra star because the staff (Taylor) were super accommodating and kind to us given the large group. Her patience and help with the menu was great, everything was brought out accurately, thanks Taylor for making our dinner awesome, will definitely stop again when traveling through area. read more

What can I say, it's a chain restaurant where the food is consistent and the same as most others I've been to. Inside also looks like every other Cracker Barrel.

It might be brief but reflective of my experience. Early dinner tonight is at the Cracker Barrel. They have an overwhelming menu of meal choices including all-day breakfast.
