An adequate representation of the franchise, with the wait staff being their strong suit. I arrived at 5:18PM on a Tuesday in late February and was cheered to see a blaze in the fireplace. Within 6 minutes a waitress arrived to take my drink order. They were out of lemonade so I had a Diet Coke with no ice and lemons and it was served within 2 minutes. I ordered the Tuesday special of pork chops, but had to substitute Bleu Cheese dressing because they were out of Ranch dressing! My salad came 6 minutes later was decent although the cherry tomatoes looked a bit under ripe. My entree arrived 12 minutes later, just as I finished my salad. The pork chops and onion petals were a bit greasy, but at least they were crispy. The comeback sauce container was less than half full (see my photo) and was mostly mustard. The gravy on the pork chops looked like it was made from a mix and not the quality I've come to expect from Cracker Barrel. My waitress was very attentive and proactively brought a refill including the lemons. She checked in to ensure I lacked for nothing and brought the bill without delay when I was finished. read more

Ordered to go online and it was very easy to place my order. They had it done before the estimated pick up time and everything was correct. Typical CB with the awesome store of random goodies as you enter. Friendly atmosphere and staff. Food was good as usual. They have the best grilled chicken, meal comes with 2-3 sides. Highly recommend the grilled chicken strips at any Cracker Barrel! Glad we stopped here as we were traveling through. read more

Blueberry pancakes were delicious! The syrup had blueberries in it. Really shocked at how good they were. Our server was wonderful, she came back to give us coffee three times. read more

The service at this location was great and all the employees were hard at work. However, the food at Cracker Barrel is spiraling downward. My chicken breasts had to have been cooked hours earlier. I get fresher chicken at KFC. The biscuits were nowhere to be found. They have been replaced with rolls disguised as biscuits. Come on Cracker Barrel do better! I just feel bad for the employees. I feel like the best way to describe my experience would be I just had sit down fast food. read more

dude the fried chicken was like trying to eat a freakin tire, last time I got the chickens and waffles and it was amazing but this time , good lord it was bad. the chicken and dumplings were like licking a salt rock bed of rice more like cot of rice. rice portion was not enough. if you get lunch at cracker barrel you're dumb, stick with the 10/10 breakfast it never disappoints. read more

Creo que a mejorado muchísimo la atención la mesera super amable y la comida estaba riquísima y no tardo mucho muy bien

Amazing experience food was hot thank you Calhoun Cracker Barrel for stepping up and showing that you still are capable of a good meal

I visited CB in Calhoun, Ga. yesterday and the shopping experience was amazing with the help of Callie and Jeffrey. This was my first visit there, but it want be my last. I was using my gift cards and spent over 500.00 and they were so helpful in wrapping and taking care of me and my purchase. Great merchandise and awesome customer service. God Bless and I wish I had you guys working for me LOL. See you next month and I hope you two are there again to help me. Have a wonderful day!!! read more

Over the last 2 years the food at this location has gone downhill. I ate breakfast there and the gravy was as runny as water. I would say go somewhere else. read more

save yourself some time when ordering to take out. after waiting 30 mins the server came to me to tell me the order was kick out. call order at 10:45am got there 11:15am, left there at 11:45am empty handed. WORST TAKE OUT SERVICE! read more

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - Refund receipt. - Southern Near Me - Calhoun, Georgia

Went to Cracker Barrel yesterday. Waited 45 minutes for cold food. Biscuits were hard as a rock. Nothing was cooked as requested. The butter would not melt on the cold food. The worst gravy I've ever tasted. Took it home and the dog wouldn't even eat it. Met the manager, Jennifer, as we were walking out and told her of our disappointing experience. She convinced us to come back today and give Cracker Barrel another chance. I'm very glad we did. Today the food was prepared perfectly. Hot chicken, French toast, eggs a perfect over- medium, and crisp bacon. Our waitress, Ray Lee, was attentive, competent, and friendly. So now we are once again Cracker Barrel fans. Please, Cracker Barrel, keep this level of competence. read more

I came back in to update my review of this cracker barrel location. Walking in, we were greeted and immediately seated. Very busy place. Ordered the house salad and catfish dinner and the salad came out very quickly. Very fresh crunchy lettuce with cherry tomatoes and cucumbers. Catfish came out perfectly cooked, very attentive server. Vegetables were a perfect temperature. I'm so glad we came back in to update our review from six years ago. A big difference from then to now. read more

This is the second time my family and I came to have brunch, and it felt more of a reunion than anything. For a Saturday, the wait time for 13 people was about 45 minutes and honestly that's not terrible! There's rocking chairs and chess, and luckily the weather was bright and sunny!! There's a separate menu for breakfast, lunch & dinner so make sure you're looking or ask for the time you are going. They do have pancakes, but no waffles! Great service and good fun! read more

Party of 3 Arrived 6:05 pm Ordered no later than 6:15 pm Food arrived after 7:00 pm The hamburger steak was a pre formed cookie cutter patty with zero flavor. The cheese burger patty was dry as well for my daughter The cornbread was half the size of normal muffins The hash brown casserole was inedible. It tasted old and greasy...all 3 of us were not able to eat it The grilled chicken was good for my other daughter & The biscuits were good but we had to ask multiple times for jelly The waitress was nice Very disappointed read more

Place was horrible took an hour and a half to sit down and when we sat down only half of the restaurant was full and then after another hour and a half half of our table got their food while the other half had to wait another 45 minutes mind you the whole time other tables were getting their food absolutely horrible experience read more

Staff were friendly. Food was good service was good and we arrived in a 45 foot motor coach and spent the night there as well! We will return on our seasonal trip to Florida! read more

I went on a Sunday night, and it wasn't packed at all. It was super quick seating, and the hostess was super nice. We were sat down, and we got this amazing waitress Georgia. I cannot express to you how amazing she was! She was quick, super sweet, didn't get bothered at all when we asked her for things (and I definitely thought it was being accidentally annoying). She was one of the best waitresses I've had there. The food was delicious as well. I got the chicken n dumplings. The biscuits were great per usual. The tables were clean, and the restaurant was very nicely kept up with. I will definitely be back. read more

We were seated and then ignored completely for 20 minutes. no drink order or even an acknowledgement that we were there. waitress walked by several times and never even looked our way. There was no wait and we were seated immediately. not busy enough for that to be an excuse. We got up and went over to Longhorn for better food and service. Also wanted to add that they were actively waiting on all the other tables. Just not ours... read more

Service is extremely slow. I am sure it is the same excuse of staffing but as a corporation you have to make adjustments to the new normal and I have not seen these changes being implemented. Waiting over an hour for food while in crowded is ridiculous read more

We were served way after other customers who sat after us and when we asked why they gave the excuse the tickets must have gotten mixed up. I wish i could say it had nothing to do with race but i can not as one of us was served the dinner on the infamous blue china plate and yes the one who got it was the only minority in the entire resteraunt. Shame on you Calhoun Cracker Barrel. We have eaten at others and have been treated with much more respect. I suggest you stop somewhere other than Calhoun if you are looking for a Cracker Barrel read more

It was a terrible service got shown to the table and left didn't asked what we wanted to drink. We had to wait 20 minutes just to get a waiter then wait additional 10 minutes for our drinks. We waited almost an hour and half just for the food to be cold. The steak, shrimp, chicken, mashed potato, and more all the food was cold. We ordered corn, baked potato, and a hash brown casserole all things that we did not receive. Although we did receive the some chicken tender and one order of hash brown casserole which was pretty good. The food portion were very small on meal cost around $20 for 4 little pieces of chicken like chicken nuggets. I feel like very disrespected I had high hopes for this establishment but not no more I will no longer step foot in Cracker Barrel. read more

I've been waiting an hour an wonder if I'm ever gonna eat? This place is terrible. Holy hell the food came as I was leaving this review. read more

Slowest service ever and took an hour to get food.The food was so-so and environment was ok.

Ugh. We are learning the ropes here. Second time using the app to order and both times pretty much fail miserably. Today we ordered via app (around 2:40pm) and the earliest pickup time was 4:10pm. So that was fine... until we got there at 4:10 to get it and it was pre-made for a 3:10 pick up time according to the ticket. I guess it was a glitch with the time change or something. So our food was cold, again. Also had to ask for the drink (drink missing last time) and we were only missing the vegetable soup when we got home. If you order ahead, I suggest not using the app and just call. Check your bag before you leave. They use to check it for you but don't any longer. We will likely try again - but will be more cautious of course. read more

Went on a busy Sunday afternoon, at the bottom of the church crowds. I get it, the after church crowds are heavy, and busy. We sat for 15 minutes in a section that was labeled Tammy,( I'm a host in the restaurant business, so I pay attention to the systems they use), we never saw her. Finally we got the attention of a very nice young man, and he waited on us. I wish I had gotten his name. Y'all need to get some better wait staff. read more

Just waited nearly two hours for food that never came. All we got was a very weak apology!! The entire management team should be fired on the spot! read more

I never leave Yelp reviews but I felt the need to after seeing what I saw today. First off, we waited 45 minutes for our food, thankfully our server was very helpful and understanding of our impatience. Secondly, when our food came out you can tell it was thrown together, poor quality. Lastly, we overheard the way management was speaking to their employee's, and we found it outright disgusting. Our server was amazing and sweet, she attended to our every need and did not deserve to be talked to the way she was. If you are debating eating at this Cracker Barrel we would highly suggest NOT TO. read more

Love Cracker Barrel, but it seems recently the recipes of many favorite items have changed. We loved their Mac N' Cheese... now it's very bland. Even though the food changes are unfortunate, we love the the atmosphere and they always have great service! read more

Great country homestyle cooking restaurant. They cook your food just like mama cooks it. They even cook food just like your grandma too. I got the Sunrise Breakfast. This includes bacon, sausage, country ham, biscuit and gravy, hash browns and biscuit and gravy. For my drink I got a sprite. The location is kind of hard to get to if you ask me as you have to circle around and go around to the back to find a parking space. All my food was excellent and great customer service my our experienced waitress. The sunny side up eggs were delicious. read more

Worse dining experience ever. Got there at 6:00PM and did not get are meal until 7:59PM. Food was cold and was not good. I have never had this experience before ay any other Cracker Barrel. This is our hometown Cracker Barrel and we eat there often. We will go to the next town over next time. read more

Party of 3, we were seated by the hostess given menus and told our server would be with us shortly 10:05am. by 10:30 no one had stopped by not even looked at us. no one said will be with you soon, no one offered drinks. Finally was able to get a servers attention and asked if she know who our server was, she said I will check. Came back by in about 10 minutes and said I quote " I GOT HIS ATTENTION HE WILL BE WITH YOU IN A FEW". In the meantime a family of 4 is seated behind us. another 15 minutes goes by and the only male server i have seen goes to this table behind us and tells them he is sorry for their wait. Oh that is all it took we stood up I told him we had been waiting at least an hour and no one had said a word to us but that was fine we are out of here!!! On our way out I asked to speak to the manager. The manager comes out and I tell her we waited for at least an hour and no one said anything to us at all!! She proceeds to say "I SAW THAT" what you saw that ??? then why the H#$$ didnt you come to our table???? This place has gone downhill so fast and so badly!!!!! She says let me get you a table and we will take care of you, well if you had said that 30 minutes ago ok but an 1 later and after i ask to see you??? NO THANK YOU!!! She offered no reasonable resolution at all. NO please come back and the meals on us nothing to get us to come back!!! To top it all off we were not the only ones to leave!! There were familes that told us they had been waiting over 30 minutes for food. Well Cracker Barrell you done it now!!! read more

Worst Cracker Barrel I have ever been to. The girl at the hostess station didn't know what to do. A server came out and told her she was overloading one section and we were put in a section with almost no people. Our server finally got us menus, then she told us it would probably be around 30 minutes to get our food. She also said this was nothing, it's usually much worse. The manager needs to be fired. This place gives CB a bad name. read more

not wanting to cook anything for us service sucks same as food. they were very rude. my cousin ask for chicken and said they didn't even get it but everyone else who ask got it some read more

Service was really slow even though the restaurant was about half full. Waited a long time for our food. Food was okay, not great. Ambiance was good. Cracker Barrel has a nice country feel about it. read more

Well, y'all, it's Cracker Barrel, so you pretty much know the drill. When on a road trip, what's a better breakfast stop?? (Ok, I'll give you WaHo but it depends on if you want/have more grease or a little healthier fare!) We got coffee before leaving Atlanta and needed actual sustenance less than an hour out (he drives fast), hence our CB foray. Typical fare and nice people - Penny was pleasant and efficient) and I did note that now they have books-on-tape on DVD too! Cool. I went with a simple one egg (scrambled) and toast combo, with bacon (standard and tasty as expected) and he did some kind of combo with eggs, biscuits, ham, jam, etc. Full and ready to ride, and we were off! One note- this CB location is a little hard to notice (though the highway sign indicates it, it is a bit undistinguishable off-road because the porch is not on the street side). read more

I like Cracker Barrel. But I made the mistake of ordering a Grilled Chicken Salad. I have ordered salads before and I know that you have to cut up your own cucumbers and tomatoes. Usually it is served with grilled chicken tenderloins. Not today. A whole chicken breast served on top of the salad. It hadn't been cut up into anything. Just one big piece. I mean, come on. At least cut it up into strips. It bothers me that I have to help prepare my own food at the restaurant. read more

This five stars goes to Doris! She is absolutely amazing and very detailed when taking my order! Daniel is also accommodating! I appreciate the the service that I was given. read more

Let me start by saying that I hate going to Cracker Barrel because I never get good service or even halfway decent service and they are usually very slow, but my wife loves Cracker Barrel so we went to this one because it was close to the hotel we were staying at. This Cracker Barrel was awesome. Our server was a young lady named Autumn and she did a fantastic job. Our food came out very quickly and was hot, fresh and tasted great. I would highly recommend this Cracker Barrel. If you are ever in Calhoun or passing through Calhoun . read more

My husband and I visited our local Cracker Barrel (Calhoun, GA) which has been going downhill for the last year, each visit thinking it will be better. Tonight was the same disappointment. However, this is the one that pushed me to the point of my review. On Tuesday, 2/6 @6pm the dining room was quite empty with only 5 tables in our section. We were greeted promptly which was a positive start. We get our drinks and order food: pancake tacos and a meatloaf dinner with 3 vegetables. Then we wait. And wait. And wait. When we inquired about the wait time, we were told that my order was wrong, and they were redoing it. Okay...45 minutes later, our meal comes out, and it was still wrong! Since we waited so long, we decided to make the best of the situation until my husband pulled a long haired from INSIDE his meatloaf!! I live within a 30 minute drive to 3 other Cracker Barrels (Dalton, Ringgold, Adairsville), so I will take my business there. I WILL NEVER BE BACK TO THIS LOCATION! read more

So far the most consistent CB I've experienced yet and definitely the best between Atlanta & Chattanooga. Love the sampler platter with chow chow and a slice of onion on the side. Pintos, turnip greens, & hash brown casserole are my sides of choice. I heard someone ordering the fried okra twice fried and that does sound pretty good now that I know that's an option read more
