Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - Chicken dumplings - Southern Near Me - Boone, North Carolina

We visited this location on April 25 for supper, and we had delicious food and our waitress Hannah was the best. Hannah has such a good personality and a pleasant smile. She made our experience great and the food was delicious. Thank you Hannah for such excellent service. read more

Food was good. Table and chairs we're not clean. Waitress gave us no spoons (for coffee or child's cereal). Waitress's attitude was unprofessional. Also not made aware of entrees being unavailable until after we had ordered. I even had to find other staff to get our check, lol NOT RECOMMENDED. read more

I'm very happy they haven't changed the look of this location. I have been coming here since I was in high school and usually come here once when I visit. Service was really nice she made sure and let us know she has only been a waitress for two weeks. I think she did a great job. I will say the only complaint is the menu is all over the place. It took me a while to find my strawberry cheesecake pancakes. Also they service alcohol now? Who knew read more

Pretty much the same. This order was picked up so I don't have pictures of restaurant. We ordered a Family meal for 5. We ordered the 3 meatloaf and 2 person chicken tenders fried(10 total). We chose Loaded Hash brown Casserole and Mashed potatoes with brown gravy. Biscuits were also included. Everything was pretty standard for Cracker Barrell as one would expect-that's why we go. Only disappointment was we got regular hash-brown casserole instead of the loaded hash-brown casserole like we ordered. We would eat here again. read more

Ol' C.B...not much to report here. My other joint (Troy's Diner)'s line was out the door with it being App State's first week back in session. Boone has been an absolute mad house dumpster fire all week. So I landed at Cracker Barrel since it is easy to turn into and I found a parking spot close to the front door. Anyway, chose a veggie plate over breakfast, even the guy beside me had pancakes that looked good. Fried okra, Luke warm mashed potatoes and Mac & cheese were rounded out by a big bowl of creamy coleslaw (which I didn't want but the option I got came with four sides.) Small portion of Mac and cheese was the only thing that was hot and the okra has some inevitable cold stringy ones that I had to discard of. I'd say the teeny biscuit(s) and the tea were good but the stupid glass and a half of tea I got cost $3.69! If I ever go back I'll stick with water. Save yourself a trip and just stay local and go to Troy's. read more

Should have left after waiting 10 minutes just to order drinks when there were 3 waiter/waitress just standing there. One kids meal was wrong, hamburger steak was burnt, and mash potatoes literally tasted like dirt(rinse the potatoes before mashing them). Wife got fried chicken it was literally the driest most burnt fried chicken I have ever seen. I love a Cracker Barrel but this is probably the worst I have ever been to. read more

While the wait staff was amazing, even though she had worked 15 hour days all weekend she was still kind and attentive. The food on the other hand was inedible. The Louisiana Shrimp Skillet was overly salted, the biscuits and cornbread were under cooked, the hash brown casserole must have been prepared in a bowl directly from the sink because the taste of soap was immediately noticeable. It was not a pleasant eating experience. read more

We brought the Sprinter up to the North Carolina mountains and spent the night in their parking lot. Arriving not too late in the evening but not hungry, we took a look through the store and bought a few lemon sugar sticks after visiting the clean restrooms. The parking lot isn't completely level - it took two risers where we were parked but not bad. Sorry, no meal this time Cracker Barrel. I owe you one!

If I could give 0 stars I would. The staff were all very friendly but the food was the worst food I've ever eaten. I'm not sure our chicken was entirely cooked through. The okra was so fried it was just a crisp each bite. The green beans were tough and tasted old and musty. The grits the kids had tasted old, cold and very lumpy. Biscuits were not even fully cooked in one of the batches. For the price of the food it's not worth it. We used to love Cracker Barrel but this wasn't even edible. Very disappointed. read more

My family and I came to have lunch today. We waited about 45 minutes for our food, come to find out it had been served to another table and we had to wait longer. 10 minutes past and we was served all cold food. Very disappointing! read more

On a Monday morning at 9:30 we waited 50 mins for our food. There was no wait for a table nor was it as busy as we usually see this location. The kicker was when our waitress asked if we needed anything else when we hadn't even been served our food! She finally brought a basket of biscuits and proceeded to check on our food which took another 15 mins. Apparently our order was not entered, she made no apologies for the delays at all. Will never stop here again! read more

The food is so good. Comfort food is a must for us. The chicken and dumplings are so good. Not as good as my mom's but still delicious. My husband loves the fried chicken and hash brown casserole. The wait staff is very nice and welcoming. I love the antique style of the restaurant. Has a very homey atmosphere. Shopping at the store is always a treat and I love the selection of items that are available read more

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - Chicken and dumplings with broccoli apples and carrots - Southern Near Me - Boone, North Carolina

I ordered the Country fried steak with two sides. Mashed potatoes with gravel and green beans. The fried steak was below subpar. I will never order that menu item again. The mashed potatoes were warm on the top layer and cool in the center. Gravy was like warm. Green beans were hot and tasty. Waitress,Stacey was very nice and attentive. read more

Everything was great other than the host. The host William was the rudest host I have ever encountered. The restaurant was only on a 30 minute wait! I have worked in restaurants for many years, it is not that deep. Being rude to paying customers that have done nothing to you and just said their name and party number is wild. If you're that miserable to be working here maybe find a new job and wash your hair. read more

We order Thanksgiving dinner from CB in Boone as we spend Thanksgiving there. It's drive thru pick up, they are very well organized! Yummy dinner ready in 2 hours. Food , serviceas regarding pick up & ease of order! Ambiance That's my department hope I do well! read more

Have hesitated going back there as was disappointed the last time, but tried again...unfortunately, the only thing good about the visit was that the service was good. The food was not the quality for what we paid, not even close. The portions were small and our food was cold. The famous hash brown casserole was cold, bland and tasteless. Green beans were bland and had no taste to them even after generous S$P. At $15 a plate, I won't be coming back. Used to be our go to place when traveling...no longer... read more

Food was great, service was great. Earl was a superstar. Prices were very good restraunt was clean. We loved it!

Food cold, not what I had initially ordered. Half of it was burnt . Ran out of biscuits , got a sweet potato instead of fries. Bad visit all together. Never again. read more

This Cracker Barrel restaurant is on point! We used the waitlist and were seated immediately during busy Sunday lunch. Our server was Bailey. Absolutely the best server we had ever had. We travel and always go to a Cracker Barrel on a trip. She took our drink order, came back with hot biscuits and plates. Told us cornbread still baking. Took our food order, less than 5-10 minutes, our hot food arrived. Order was perfect and delicious. And came she came back shortly with hot cornbread. She checked on us but was not intrusive. Brought our check--and came back immediately with our boxes for leftovers and take home drink. This restaurant is working to make sure service and food is key. An employee is constantly observing the tables, making notes on a tablet. Definitely a go back! read more

Food was so good, waitress was very nice and gave many refills. Manager is a motherfucking goat, my gift card wasn't swiping right so he just gave me my meal for free. If you are seeing this bro you are amazing. read more

From the very start, our waiter, Reagan, had a bit of an attitude when helping us. Out of the gate she was not pleasant. We waited about 40 minutes for our entrees, and when we asked (nicely) what the hold up was, she lost her cool and said that it was because our party had 5 people. That shouldn't mean anything, because parties that came in after us got their food before us. If this wasn't enough, when she was serving a table right next to us, she'd apparently given them something extra and said (so we could hear): "this is what you get when you're kind," which seems extremely childish. You could see the mood shift when she moved to our table and continued to be less than apathetic when talking to us. We love this Cracker Barrel, but this experience was not fun. read more

We had an early appointment, so we went to CB for breakfast. The biscuits were hard and dry. Probably left over from the day before. Grits were lumpy, not mixed well enough. The table had syrup on it when we sat down. Very disappointing since we have eaten there many times and liked it very much. read more

Went to visit my mom for Mother's Day in Boone NC and she always chooses Cracker Barrel whenever we go out. It's consistent, delicious, a great price and so much food! The coffee was needed and so good, I knew what I wanted before I arrived and the country fried steak was perfect! It is always busy but we got there early and the service was wonderful! Blake was awesome, quick and so nice. read more

Okay, I had never eaten at a Cracker Barrel because I thought the food would be poor and this place matched my prior beliefs. Biscuits hard, gravy cold, bacon was so weird I'm not sure what the heck it was, coffee was weak, service was good hence the one star as the food is not! read more

First time to not cook Thanksgiving, I wouldn't do that again. It was extremely crowded, chose to take home instead of 2 hour wait. To their credit they were fast and handling the crowd great. The meals were very small portions. A couple tablespoons of green beans and of the runny sweet potatoe casserole. 3 thin slices of turkey with a scoop of dressing and a small slice of pumpkin pie. Everyone was still hungry afterwards. read more

They've added wine and beer to their menu. It's nice to come here for good comfort food. My favorite is chicken n dumplings - yum! And their biscuits with blackberry jam is my fave. read more

We have had very good experiences at good old Cracker Barrels. The layouts are the same, the staff very excellent and the food is very good. On this morning we were served by River B., a four star apron-ed, experienced and very nice wait person. I had the bacon and hash brown breakfast with two eggs ($9.29). The hash browns were LOADED with cheese and although they regularly do scrambled eggs with this dish, I asked for and got my eggs over medium. Yum-a-liscous. Wife went ala carte with hot apples and biscuits ($4.99). Tea and endless coffee topped off our table. You can't miss with this franchise. Clean, roaring fire burning off the morning chill and warm service to accompany good, solid chow. read more

Absolutely horrible food. Gravy tasted like paste, no flavor. The ham was terribly salty and had a sour flavor. These pancake taco things were a disaster. The only reason this isn't a 1 star review is because of the cool country store. Step your game up cracker barrel, your food sucks. read more

Literally the worst effing service ever I don't even know how they can run a place like this. Makes me genuinely sad because I love cracker barrel but the service is actually terrible. I feel like I could've gotten pregnant and given birth in the time I waited. read more

It's Cracker Barrel. They are the same everywhere. This one was fine. Food as expected. COVID-19 protocols in place, except in the gift store area. Some folks (customers) walking around the gift store without masks. Service here was good. No issues with the food. Always good. Recommend. read more

So, I came into Boone for a doctor appointment and was so hungry that a delicious breakfast at Cracker Barrel was in my near future. Well, never again. The pancakes were tough. I could barely cut them with a knife. The bacon was so undercooked and the hashbrown casserole was cold and literally hard. We didn't complain to the waitress as my mother didn't want to cause problems. But, I have written this one off my list. read more

My food was good but the smell off the place was terrible. the rating of the place was a 92. Customer service was terrible. I will never be coming back. The only reason that it gets 2 stars is because of the food. read more

I ventured up the mountain to Boone to look at the leaves and pick up some apples and cider. In the cold rain, I visited this Cracker Barrel for a hot cup of coffee and a good meal. Fish Friday is always a good time to visit Cracker Barrel. Madison provided outstanding service. The fish was amazing! I enjoyed a great meal. I sipped on a hot to go cup of coffee on my 90 minute drive back home. I look forward to visiting this Cracker Barrel again very soon. read more

The sanitation grade was 92 so I decided not to stay. I have never seen such a low rating at this restaurant. It's one of my favorites so I hope they can improve it. read more

Ordered food to go and it took almost an hour when the Uber app said 30 minutes. Don't ever order to go.

It used to be that when you got the grilled or fried chicken salad that it came with homemade croutons and a wedge of Colby cheese. Now, the croutons are from a box and the cheese was pre-grated and dry. I had to pick off a withered grape tomato. The "greens" are actually nothing but iceberg lettuce. I will never return. No wonder they are facing bankruptcy. read more
