We walked in with a party seven on Monday the 15th and were promptly seated at table 162 Our server, Jordan J., was a "JEWEL!!" She was engaging and patient with us. I tend to joke around a little, much to my wife's displeasure. Jordan went along with it, giving it right back. To me it's this kind of personal interaction that makes it a much more pleasant experience. Our table ordered a variety of food from French toast to a steak. Everything was cooked perfectly. The woman who ordered the steak "annihilated" it. She thought it was better than the one at Texas Roadhouse. A note to Jordan; Thank you for tolerating me. You helped make my night! On the way out the ladies had to spend time in the store. It was the first time in a Cracker Barrel Restaurant for one of our group. It is kind of hard to describe. I went outside and sat in a rocking chair while the ladies shopped. read more

Cracker Barrel is truly an "American" food establishment. The storefront has rocking chairs for sale as well as old fashioned American candy and lots of things to buy that are "country" including many seasonal items for Halloween, Fall, the holidays, etc. The staff are very friendly The food always comes out super fast. Their breakfast specials like the eggs, meats, has browns, biscuits, French toast and/or pancakes have so much food, we get 2-3 breakfasts out of them. Their coffee speciality drinks are priced 1/3-1/2 of other higher end coffee shop's prices and quite tasty. Cracker Barrel is fun American food where you can leave with cute gifts for friends and lots of left overs. read more

It has become a tradition to come here whenever we are in Boise. The food is delicious and even though they were very short staffed the day we went, service was still good. read more

My husband and I were out and about running some late errands when we realized we needed to get dinner. We didn't even realize the time when we decided to head to Cracker Barrel. We pulled up and noticed how slow it was, which should have been our first indicator that they were closing soon. We were instantly greeted walking into the country store. Naya was at the hostess stand and got us sat. Conveniently, Naya was also our server tonight. My husband and I breezed over the menu and got dinner figured out pretty fast while drinks were being made. We were both starving. For dinner I got the hamburger patty with three sides. My sides were sweet whole baby carrots, country green beans and steamed broccoli. I also got my hamburger patty smothered in gravy and onions. My husband ordered the Country fried steak with the gravy on the side. His sides were corn and Mac and cheese. Our dinners did take a minute to be prepared. After we realized that we literally came in 5 minutes before closing, I told Naya that we can take our food to go. She said not to worry about it! I'm sure the kitchen was all cleaned and everything was put away when we headed in. We didn't mind the wait since they were even kind enough to let us eat at the table. My hamburger patty was perfectly cooked. They did forget the gravy and onions but once I added it, it was perfect! The gravy was on the saltier side so I only added a little to my patty. The carrots were tender and were slightly sweet, I wish they were a tad sweeter. The green beans were tasty and the broccoli was nicely steamed. My husband ate every bite of his country fried steak and his sides. Cracker Barrel always does a great job and consistently deliver a good country fried steak. Naya did a great job taking care of us tonight! She reassured us that we were ok taking our time eating our meals. She wasn't rushing us or mad at the fact that we showed up so late. I appreciate the service she gave us last night. I like the vibe at Cracker Barrel and looking around the Country store. If they were only close to us we would probably frequent the joint more often. We enjoyed our last minute dinner lazy and thank you Naya for your great service! read more

Food was all delicious! And fresh. They brought us fresh biscuits for the table! Not a bad wait time! Hostess who sat us and them were all very friendly. Check out at the registers were very friendly. Waitress was okay not super friendly maybe since we had a baby. But the rest of the store was top notch. Always fun to shop around. read more

Service was exceptional. Place was busy but it is properly staffed, big parking lot and the tables are spaced correctly. Sunday lunch is shown in the photos. Everything was very good. Shepherd Pie and Nashville fried chicken. Delicious side dishes. read more

The ladies and I stopped here along the way to a church retreat to fuel up and get some good food. We got some tasty dishes and we also did a whole lot of Christmas shopping while we were in the store. So many good deals on holiday items. Make sure to check them out Before they all get bought. read more

The worst of the worst! The second we walked in was awful, should have gave up after our kitchen seating, super long wait for food, inexperienced cook, poor patron needed medical attention in the bathroom, 5 minute talkative cashier and all the the lovely price of 80$ for 2 seniors and 2 children. Wow! read more

Zero wait time on a Sunday morning. Super friendly staff - restaurant is clean and all the amenities are full (sugar, salt, pepper,etc) Came here twice in 3 days for breakfast since we are staying at the hotel behind the restaurant. Really wanted an iced mocha. Machine is broken and from the sound of the staff it's been like that for a while. Shame, I would have been here every day. read more

Meatloaf was cold, like it was taken from fridge and warmed to room temperature on the counter. Ordered the Broccoli Cheesy Casserole; agreed to pay an additional charge for it. What came out was a single spear of broccoli covered in cheese. Seven tables around us were left uncleared (not bussed). This is our third time eating at this location. I do not recommend it until they fix the management and raise the standards. We love Cracker Barrell; it is one of our favorite eating locations (which is rare for us). My wife even toured their training location in TN in years past. The stores/restaurants in TN and KY are amazing. This specific location in Boise is not up to the company's otherwise wonderful standards. read more

The service here was great. The place is clean and it was close to my hotel. I ordered the build your own breakfast and got sausage (a bit dry) scrambled eggs, hash brown casserole and biscuits and gravy. Overall, not bad. It wasn't anything amazing, but for only $15 bucks this hit the spot. read more

We come here all the time and just love everything every time! We have never had a bad experience! Our favorite server is Lynn and Obed in the gift shop was super kind and very patient :) The breakfast casserole is my absolute favorite part of breakfast! I also love the country feel with all the front porch rocking chairs and vintage advertising! read more

On behalf of my dad who is particular on food, he has a warm fondness for Cracker Barrel, this location specifically. Today's breakfast was delicious. I got the Benedict and it was honestly one of the best ones I've had. Nicely proportioned with two options of sides. I opted for tomato slices and grits. My dad always gets the Old Timer which is the basic necessities you want for a good old American Breakfast. The seasonal menu going on right now looks amazing and I already want to head back to try their limited options! Kathryn was our server. We actually had her a couple of times and she has always been amazing. Kind, efficient and always asked if we needed anything else. The place is decorated with the Holiday and we are loving it. read more

Breakfast at Cracker Barrel before I head back to Los Angeles. After eating a delicious breakfast, took a few minutes to check out the country store. So many cute things, novelities and a line of clothing. I didn't have too much time so I'm going to go online to see some of the great fashions they had in the store. read more

Great breakfast! I got the pecan pancakes. Thanks to Lynn for taking good care of us.

This was our first time at a Cracker Barrel. We ordered a variety of foods, including but not limited to pancakes, chicken-fried chicken, and mashed potatoes with gravy. The food was very bland! The gravy had no flavor and the broccoli side was very undercooked. Our waitress was a gem, but I don't think we'll go back. read more

Wow! I'm no fan of comfort food, but this location is terrific. Our server, Madyson, was fantastic. She took good care of us during the entire meal. My only complaint is their French fries should be illegal. They are like crack! Once you start eating them, you're hooked--Crispy on the outside, hot and meaty on the inside. I had a BLT on sourdough bread with extra bacon. It was delicious. Would I eat here again? Absolutely! Highly recommended! read more

I threw up!!! Not sure what it was that I ate, but my entire meal went down the toilet. The server apologized and only brought me a cup of water to go. That's all that I got. I asked to speak with a manager who only offered to check a condiment that I was served, that's all. This is a large corporate chain, certainly, they could take a food item off my meal or offer a discount or offer a gift card for my next visit. Nothing. I went to pay and explained the situation, and the cashier said all she could do was discount the beverage, but she brought over her manager, who politely listened and compted my entire bill. That's 4 employees that I had to speak with about becoming sick on their food. I can understand from their point of view that I might have been lying and simply didn't want to pay for my bill, but I truly did throw up 5 times in their bathroom. read more

Stopped here while driving from Utah to Oregon. Service was very friendly and I loved my country vegetable platter. Would definitely come back here again! read more

Thank God for trump now Cracker Barrel can get rid of the old bitties that move so slow and can barely use POS system we all know cracker barrel only kept them because of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) trying to include 70+ year olds in the workforce when plenty of us youngins want the job we just don't want to work with senior citizens they hold things up cant move as fast horrible memories being a Boise state student a lot more of us would come here but the vibe is just really old lady. we really like the servers and workers that are our age it gives us more in common etc read more

Kinda weird there isn't a Cracker Barrel in WA state. They sell their mac and cheese at my neighborhood Safeway so I always wondered what it tasted like in the restaurant. I can't believe I had to fly to Boise just to try it though! Really friendly service. Surprisingly cheap food but large portions. I took my leftovers to go. read more

I heard about cracker barrell for YEARS before I got to try the deliciousness that is their chicken and dumplings. My friends, it was well worth the wait. Full disclosure, I have no frame of reference when it comes the chicken and dumplings. I know many people have strong feelings about this dish because their meemaw/momma/auntie makes the best in thr land, but I'm not fortunate in that respect. Cracker Barrell's chicken and dumplings are comfort food defined and served with a side of cinnamon apples. My son has decreed that we must stop here on our way out of Idaho every time we visit, and you will never hear me disagree. read more

First time coming here. I must say its such a cute spot. The food is delicious and our server Raquel was so nice. She was very patient with us. I loved the little bottle of warm syrup. The French toast was so mouth watering. All of our dishes where just perfect. read more

We frequently stay overnight at Cracker Barrel locations across the USA when traveling in our RV. We rarely frequent the restaurant and with good reason. But after a 9 hour drive, we were just too tired to look for anything else and caved. We ordered pancakes and French toast for take out. Both were extremely bland. The included eggs were just a disgusting pile of slop, and the bacon and sausage were burnt to hell. read more

So I came here this past weekend only because my wife wanted to come here. So 1st off I usually hate coming because it involves either a shopping experience before or after. This is not my thing looking around at trinkets etc...plus when our kids where younger this would involve being $100 into Cracker Barrel before even sitting down. For breakfast this place is just ok and so mediocre. The reason for the extra star was our waitress Pamela. She said as absolutely amazing! So friendly and so attentive. She made this experience so much better. For food I had the Cracker Barrel Benedict which consisted of a base of biscuits, country sausage, gravy and only available with over easy eggs or scrambled and not a pouched eggs. But it could've been anything because the flavors where just meh meh and bla bla....this place always has and always will be just what it is. Cafeteria food but what it has going for it like the others I have been to are the always friendly employees and this weekend was no exception. For me I was just happy that my wife was disappointed as well and that means we don't have to come back. Sorry if this is blunt and I know how popular these places area. I just feel there are so many local places that do a much better job at the food. To Pamela thank you! You were absolutely amazing!!! read more

The waitress seemed very hurried. When I gave my order, she didn't listen to what I was saying and got it wrong. The food was bland. Overall, the experience was average. Not great and not horrible. read more

To quote my husband: "How are the people out here not fat?!? This is great food and it's so damn cheap?!?" This was our first visit ever to this chain and will not be the last. It truly was comfort food- and not bland or underwhelming as that can sometimes be. He went with chicken fried steak, i went with fried catfish. We both got dumplings, but he got mashed potatoes and I went with hashbrown casserole. Dumplings were awesome. Biscuits were awesome. Steak/Gravy and catfish was awesome. And for under $40- a steal. You can hate on this sort of place all you want, but more for the rest of us. read more

This was absolutely the worst food my husband and myself have ever had! The potatoes were instant potatoes that were very obviously made with water, no seasoning, and no card at all. The loaded potatoes were microwaved beyond being edible, the dumplings had minimal chicken and absolutely no flavor. The service was great but that isn't enough to ever make us go back. The restaurant was extremely unclean. There was two inches of dust and cobwebs on all the nick nacks that are hung conveniently right over where people are eating. If you're lucky some of the dust will fall in your food so maybe it will give it some flavor. read more

The first place I think of for complete meal comfort food. The chain has managed to keep price increases down to a minimum in 2023 while so many restaurants and other retailers are needing to really raise their prices more significantly. My wife and I are appreciative of the entree menu items and the large selection of sides. read more

went to Cracker Barrel Boise with my wife and my 92 year old mother. mom wanted wine and they wouldn't serve her until they saw her ID. Manager stated company policy was to card EVERYONE! I asked her what about using common sense. she said "company policy". I wanted to leave but my wife and mom wanted to stay anyways. I told the manager I would never return to the restaurant. she did not care. have been to cracker barrel restaurants frequently (I am 72) and this is 1st time I ever saw anyone carded, especially a 92 year old. will never set foot in a Cracker Barrel again. read more

I did not have a good experience at this location - I wanted to and did order a turkey meal and what a disappointment. I now wish I would have taken a photo. there was one (1) thin slice of turkey 2 inch wide and 7 inches long and for the amount of money I had spent you would think they would have had more turkey portions and it looked as if I was not an important customer and I need to ad this is not the kind of experience I had received in the past. They had totally changed my attitude about this location and what I would expect in the future. Oh by the way my order was to GO and I now wish I would had opened the bag and checked what I was getting. read more

Great food outstanding g service very clean and a friendly place to eat I would highly recommend !!

They food was good and service was pleasant! Shame that the corp office doesn't take the time to keep up the parking lot and vegetation. Trees dying, overgrown with weeds and dead grass! Looks like they are getting ready to abandon this establishment! read more

Went there for breakfast....waiter was terrible All the food came out cold! I sent mine back... the rest of my crew accepted it. Server was no where to be found,I had to go to the kitchen to get a refill. Needless to say there are far better restaurants in the valley. I think I will stick with them. read more

Courtney the waitress was great. The one piece of Bacon burnt. Hot cakes overdone. The hash brown casserole was exceptionally dried and it tasted like rancid butter/oil. We also got the loaded premium hash brown casserole which was initially burnt black on the bottom It was replaced but also rancid tasting. This used to be my favorite side. The chicken fried steak was good with dumplings and mac & cheese sides. read more

We stayed at the Hilton Garden across the street and enjoyed breakfast here both days! The servers were excellent and good pancakes, French toast and the bacon was cooked just right. Our servers both were Shelley - they spelled their names differently and were delightful made us feel very welcomed. Highly recommend and would definitely be there again when we come back to Idaho. I got the impression this business really cares about their people! read more

The coffee was weak, the grits were too thin and Benjamin is sarcastic with a bad attitude. Clearly hates his job.

Cracker Barrel restaurant are very predictable and reliable. My husband has wanted to try their fried chicken. It was certainly hot and plentiful, with all the sides. It wasn't his favorite, but it was still good. Pretty typical good service and of course great shopping in the lobby. read more
