On 10/8, I came here with my family, upon entering I noticed how super clean it was & so were their restrooms, highly organized & attention to details. The atmosphere there was very friendly, welcoming, inviting, warm and cozy. That day Cody was working he showed us to our table & with our menus so sweet of him. Next our lovely waitress Kristina came by asked us if we had any questions & she answered them all beautifully. We Ordered Bowl of Soup Chicken Noodle soup , Country Favs Pot Roast, I also bought to go their $6 meals 3 meatloaf with Mac & Cheese! Kristina was alway constantly asking if we needed anything & refilling our drinks she was on it! Everything was so delicious, mouthwatering, savory, hearty. Their price points are always spot on with their Quality & Quantities of their delicious foods. As we going through check out towards the back of the gift shop, There was Nick a sweet and kind gentleman. He asked me if I had any rewards which I did, I love the fact you have delicious meals while earning. The transaction was a breeze. Of course I had to browse their Amazing gift shop too! Kristina was so super polite, very friendly, kind, warm, very genuine, sweet, very down to earth! Kristina has this super positive upbeat energy about her herself that truly radiates! She is your Rarest of all Diamonds! Her shine can never fade, Please treasure her greatly! I would love especially Thank Kristina for a Fantastic & Fabulous & Memorable Visit! I would also like to Thank Nick & Cody for being so sweet, kind, and helpful! I would like to Thank Cracker Barrel for another Great & Wonderful & Positive Experience here! I'll definitely visit soon! I'll tell all my Family & Friends to come here! Please be Kind & Courteous to these hard workers! read more

Driving here all the way from the Valley twice a month is all worth it, most especially when you have Samantha S as your server! She is really amazing..the kind of server you want to have everywhere you dine!!! I ordered the country boy with a not well done ham, sunny side eggs, grits, and hash brown casserole. It comes with biscuits and gravy and all together is a scrumptious breakfast! I enjoyed everything immensely! The restaurant itself was clean and orderly. The decors are what makes the place so relaxing! I just love country style anything! Of course, I wouldn't leave without grabbing something from the store. I got a scale clock decor, with a small pillow(which I ended up getting for free). In addition, I grabbed some small salt and pepper shakers for additional decor. It was quite a drive, but all worth it! My son and I definitely enjoyed our little breakfast escapade! Will be back in a week or so...can't wait!!!! read more

First time at this chain and it was everything I expected. I wanted a good country meal and it was exactly what I got. Service was friendly and prompt. The inside has a nice story, and the dining area had plenty of seating. The food was very good for a hungry soul. read more

A Fairness Update as of 08/09/2026: Seems I saw where one of my conditions for a return visit has been fulfilled and both the wife and I were in the mood from some good old Cracker Barrel ambiance. We packed up the mother in law too, as she really enjoys this restaurant too. Since it was a Sunday, I was able to order my Southern Fried Chicken dinner; talk about a happy camper, my chicken was very good. The wife got the pot roast and mom got her standby of chicken and dumplings, both ladies were very pleased with their choices. The service was beyond wonderful despite the place being fairly busy and the wait staff was spread a bit thin. Our server must have been a psychic as she appeared with drink refills just as the first round was going empty. I must say that things seemed to be improving, or better said, returning to normal. read more

Had a friend from the south who was missing home and raving about Cracker Barrel. This was the closest location we could find, so we finally went. The vibes were off the chart. The dining experience was underwhelming. It's got a general store and the staff is very amiable. People were fun to talk to, and I'm sure we would have become friends if I lived closer to Camarillo. I'm a huge sucker for good fried chicken, and they really hyped it up saying it's one of their better dishes on the menu. Place has a very homey vibe which I'm all for, but when I got my coffee, first thing I noticed was a dirty cup. I mean the waitress poured me coffee in the cup and didn't even notice the long sticky substance on its side. I get that they're busy, but serving clean cups seems like a basic standard in the food industry; I took a photo of it for documentation. There are a lot of options and maybe the breakfast menu is better, but the fried chicken was very average. After all the hype and observing the ambience, I was hoping to experience something similar to Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles, but the food was very subpar. I mean I would have rather have gone to Popeye's for some hot chicken and Ralphs for some biscuits while paying half the price. To summarize Pros - The staff were friendly and fun. Cons - The hour-long drive, the dirty cup and the mediocre food. read more

It was a busy Sunday breakfast rush but we got a table right away. Our server, Abby, made our morning so delightful. My party of 4 had never been to cracker barrel before, and I'm glad this was the location we got to experience! read more

Everybody knows Cracker Barrel. If someone says they want a Southern food this place usually comes up. My visit didn't match that expectation. I ordered the Old Timer's Breakfast and added an extra sausage. When the plate came out, my first thought was, "That's it?" The food wasn't arranged badly, it just looked empty. Big plate, small portion, and nothing about it looked exciting. Breakfast plates are usually pretty similar everywhere, so presentation matters. The scrambled eggs were a tiny portion. There were three slices of tomato, one of them still a little green, and the sausage that comes with the meal was small and pretty dry. (There are two in my photo only because I paid extra for another one.) The coffee - it was not a coffee The one thing I really enjoyed was the Hashbrown Casserole Tots. Those were excellent. I'm not going to talk about the parking, the country-style decor, or the gift shop at the entrance. Every Cracker Barrel has those. I do want to mention my server. She was genuinely kind and pleasant the whole time. She's the reason this review gets 2 stars instead of 1. read more

This was my first time ever go into a Cracker Barrel. It's definitely an interesting place especially if you like the old style decorations, which I do. The waitress is friendly. One problem was she brought us the incorrect lunch that we ordered, but it was no problem because it was still good. We had the chicken tenders and they were plentiful. We were just passing by at shopping in the Camarillo shopping outlet so this is a very convenient place. The bottom line is if you're in the area and want a lunch that have fair prices for the quantity give Cracker Barrel a try. read more

The food and the prices they charged were not great. I don't mind paying for GOOD food, unfortunately this was not the case One person in our party wanted eggs, hash browns, ham and sourdough toast. We all looked for something similar and were told there was not so they advised to order " à la cart" which cost over $20. I ordered Biscuits and Gravy... biscuits were warm at best and the gravy was more like paste than gravy. Food was really bad. Won't be going back to eat anytime soon or at all BUT the gift shop was a 10+ read more

We walk in and gift shop had much happened..Easter, baby clothes, candies galore & old fashion candies too Toys, clothes, it's a great shop very cool And very friendly After lunch a bought some gifts at store it's a cute store We walk up to a cashier and took us to a table Lunch time not a lot of servers But our servers was busy and kept forgetting a set up lol She was funny I had chicken soup not any chicken in my soup And hushpuppies were great There was more then I thought was coming in a order. Chicken n Dumplings Had so many dumplings in the soup which was good I had a few also they were good dumplings But hushpuppies were my favorite And dipping sauce was okay I like a kick in the sauce. read more

Overall I haven't been the biggest fan of Cracker Barrel in the past (no matter the location) This review today is based on todays visit only. I'm glad I gave it a chance this afternoon. It was great for a nice treat and just a minute to relax. We ordered the cinnamon roll skillet, regular coffee and the specialty vanilla latte. The skillet was very good. A nice account of gooey frosting and cinnamon and butter filling. It comes hot to the table and the warm skillet keeps everything the perfect temperature so the last bite is as good as the first. It was lunch time and the place was rather busy. However, it looked like the service staff kept everything running smoothly. Our server, Susan, was personable, attentive (without being intrusive) and overall efficient. I would feel lucky to be seated in her section again. Walking into the restaurant you step straight into their general store. Lots to look at, and if you're like me you'll end buying something, "you just can't live without". My experience today gives me confidence in trying again for a full service meal. When looking at the menu today I was eyeing the fried chicken. read more

This was my first time visiting Cracker Barrel. Upon entering, I noticed that they had a small gift shop attached to the restaurant. The restaurant itself was very spacious, with plenty of tables available for dining in. It offers classic Southern-style comfort food and a nostalgic atmosphere. I browsed through the gift shop while I waited for my table to be ready. For a small shop, they had a wide variety of snacks and other goodies to choose from. I even found snacks and drinks that I've never seen before! For my meal, I went with the chicken tenders combo. I ordered the 6-piece Nashville tenders meal and chose mac and cheese and steak fries as my sides. The Nashville sauce came on the side, which I thought was a nice touch because I was able to control how much sauce I poured onto the tenders myself. The mac and cheese wasn't memorable, but it wasn't bad either. I just wish it had been a bit more flavorful. The steak fries were seasoned with garlic and salt and were cooked perfectly. They paired well with my tenders. The chicken tenders themselves were fried to perfection, crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. They were also very well seasoned. The Nashville sauce was not one of my favorites, though. It had a smoky, mildly spicy, but also sweet taste. I prefer Nashville sauces that are smoky and spicy, but not sweet. Let's talk about the service. My server was sweet and had great knowledge of the menu, but she wasn't as attentive as I had hoped. I had to flag her down a few times to get her attention. Overall, this restaurant offers a family-friendly atmosphere, comfort food classics, decent service, and a pretty cool gift shop. I'll definitely be coming back again!

My family and I had been walking around the outlets for several hours, and by the time 3 p.m. rolled around, we were all starving. Since I had never been to Cracker Barrel before, we decided to stop by and give it a try. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by shelves of merchandise since the entrance leads straight into their gift shop. There were lots of little knickknacks and nostalgic items. We did not end up buying anything, especially since we had already finished most of our holiday shopping, but next time we might browse more when we are not so tired. We were then welcomed by a friendly hostess and promptly seated. I absolutely loved the dining area decor. The walls were covered with old-timey relics like antique telephones, glass bottles, spades, and more. With so many restaurants moving toward a modern look, I really appreciated how themed and cozy this place felt. For food, we ordered the Hashbrown Shepherd's Pie and the six-piece chicken tenders with two sides. The shepherd's pie was flavorful and packed with tender beef, carrots, and celery. I especially enjoyed soaking the biscuits in the sauce. The chicken tenders were also good, with a lighter breading rather than a thick, crunchy coating, which is my preference. Overall, I really enjoyed our late lunch and would definitely come back again. If I had to point out a few cons, the service was a bit slow despite the restaurant not being very crowded, the cornbread tasted more like a muffin with only a subtle corn flavor, and the bathroom could have used better organization and cleaning, as it was fairly dirty during our visit. read more

Look, I didn't want to like this place as much as we did. Service was quite good and better than most places. Prices are very reasonable. I usually shy away from any chain restaurants. The cinnamon rolls were very sugary (is a to sweet roll even a thing) but I've had way worse. Country fried steak is always my sort of test for any place doing breakfast. Theirs was better than most. The biscuits are a little thin but tasty. Would definitely return. They do fill a consistent void in this area as the other breakfast places nearby have very inconsistent service. read more

Polite and prompt service. Ambiance is great with a western saloon look and fireplace going. Cute li'l gift shop as you enter. Lots of cute fun Knick knacks. Tried the grilled chicken breast with 3 sides, baked potato and Fried Apple and fried Okra. Fried Apple with cinnamon taste so delicious like the apple pie filling. And fried okra fritters were tasty too! We picked corn bread/biscuits. Boy that corn bread/ biscuits are goooood. Cracker Barrel knows what they are doing with those biscuits. Will definitely recommend this place and go back for those sides and corn bread/ biscuits. read more

I want to be fair but honest when rating Cracker Barrel. First we were great with a very friendly hostess. When we sat, the waitress was very friendly as well. We were told if we signed up for their membership we would get a free appetizer today. So that's what we did and we ordered our food. The first thing that came was the chicken noodle soup and salad which was quite good. Then we got our appetizer which was the fried pickles. Very good as well. Then our food came out. We got the meat loaf with green beans and greens and fried chicken with loaded potato and sweet carrots. The meat loaf was good but didn't come with any sauce. The loaded baked potato was good as well. The rest of the food, we were a little disappointed with. The green beans and greens tasted like they came from a can with very little flavor, the chicken was way over fried and the carrots were just ok, nothing special. When we were done, we went to pay and scanned my rewards for the free appetizer. Well what wasn't told to us is that it was on the next visit, not this current visit. The cashier was very sweet and reduced the appetizer to $0.01. We were thankful. It will be safe to say we appreciated all the workers and they were wonderful, just wished the food was better. read more

We had such a pleasant experience at this Cracker Barrel. There aren't many locations nearby so we were very excited to stop by after shopping at the outlets. We were seated quickly, and every single staff member was so kind from the host to the gift shop register, and our server Amber was phenomenal! She was so helpful and attentive and made sure we had a great meal. We got the chicken tenders, meatloaf, and fried chicken breast, all were great but my favorite were the tenders. But the biscuits...if you've been to Cracker Barrel you know the biscuits are to die for. We got the beignets for dessert and they were amazing, melt-in-your mouth delicious. The gift store connected was super cute too with so many fun knick knacks. Will definitely be back if I'm ever in the area! read more

In every state they have their location in, the layout is the exactly the same. New Jersey to Tennessee (HQ), Missouri, Arizona, Santa Maria (permanently closed). It reminds me of a great time with family and friends driving state to state and stopping by this place to feel at home for all parties. I love how you can get some comfort food in California that isn't too far away if you're lazy to cook. And they have a take home meal that's $6 after ordering my meal as well. I'm always looking forward to their dumplings, Mac and cheese, green beans and whatever cute iced coffee drink style they have seasonally. They have a new CEO now so there's no bar here anymore. You can also order holiday catered meals like holiday ham or turkey for large parties starting at $150 as well. Thanks for having Cracker Barrel in California. read more

Located in premium outlets, we decided to give the southern favorite a try. I wasn't very hungry and decided to share with the Hubbs. We ordered the meatloaf & chicken and dumplings plate which came with two sides and a biscuit. For our sides, we chose the fried okra which was crunchy fun food and not slimy at all and mashed potatoes with brown gravy. The hubs liked the meatloaf, but I wasn't so impressed. The chicken and dumplings seemed like large noodles in a white gravy with chunks of white chicken that is on the dry side. It didn't taste bad, but it sure looked clumpy. I liked the biscuit and fried okra the best. My friend ordered the blackened chicken, which was also very tasty. For dessert, we ordered their biscuit beignets which is more of a soft donut covered in cinnamon, sugar, powdered sugar, and a pecan syrup dipping sauce. They were very sweet and very good but then when is fried sweet bread, not good? They also have a store where we loaded up on old-fashioned candy. They have an add on Takeaway meal for $6.99 which is a great deal however we're traveling so we didn't order one. read more

I ordered the cinnamon apples for myself family to share. They were pretty mushy but that wasn't so bad. What was bad is that I took a bite and it was a breaded shrimp, not an apple!!! I flagged my waitress and showed her what was in my desert and her response was to bring me a new one. I told her no and immediately asked for the check. My son has a shellfish allergy so had he tried the apples before me, we could have been in a bad situation! She came back and said the manager was going to comp the side of apples for me. The entire experience was not great. My kids ordered chicken tender to share and they both said they were too dry and hard to eat. The ambiance was typical for a Cracker Barrel, general western theme. Nothing special. But because of the horrible taste in my mouth (literally), I will not be going back here. read more

Everything on my plate was cold and soggy. Fried fish soggy? YUCK! Even the coffee was burnt and cold. Lemons old and smelly I don't think they care anymore. I even put my coffee cup on the edge of the table in the hopes of getting a refill of (maybe fresh) coffee. No such luck. Host was awful and there was no one at the cashier so I could pay. This place has gone downhill. What a dump, never again. read more

Service was fine. Food was prompt. They are the first restaurant in the 40 or so we've been to with our baby that had us move the high chair to where one of the chairs was, usually they place it at end of table which allows for all hands on deck with mom and dad to help with a toddler learning to eat. Wasn't a big deal but manger? Did come to move it. They have different food deals each day of the week: fried chicken was a tad salty for my liking and I like a lot of salt. Biscuits were tough and tasted like sitting a while. Server 1942820 was great and very attentive. read more

Went first time this past Sunday, and it was very fun, both decorative-wise with old the old western theme and the service/shop/food. The gift shop is diverse and have hard to find old pop, snacks, souvenirs, etc. The dining room is large and barely any people at 9am, all right, my kinda place. Susan our server was terrific. The biscuits and gravy to start were super solid. Gravy almost tastes like clam chowder, no complaints. I had some kind of skillet with sausage crumbles, scrambled eggs, and the gravy on the bottom. Also a tasty cheesy hash browns bashed in all over the plate, good stuff. No need for the gravy, so just ate the center. It was different and good. The fried onions on top totally not needed, were cold and awful just picked them off and put aside, no biggy. Sister has the grandma plate or whatever and had really good fluffy pancakes that were super solid, and served with a bottle of warm syrup, would like thicker but good taste. Overall very fun place to eat and will come back for lunch and breakfast again. Its not a luxury resort breakfast, so grade it for what it is, and you'll be pleased. Plenty of parking, easy in/out/on/off freeway. Sign up for points, just give your number and check in. read more

The stars are strictly for good service and nostalgic atmosphere. The concept of this establishment is what attracted me to try this restaurant, but sadly the food was extremely disappointing. The taste and quality of the food needs to be revamped. I was thinking of buying the to go pies, but after tasting the entrees decided to opt out. Cracker Barrel needs to make sure the food is on point. read more

Don't bother. This is the second time we've tried this place and both times the service sucked. Front desk girl was super kind but we got seated and no one ever came. We started watching people that arrived AFTER us getting their drink orders in seconds after getting seated. And we were still there... waiting to order drinks. Even a giant family of 7 got seated and instantly got their drinks. It was 3 of us.... Do better. I talked to front desk girl and told her we were still waiting. I could not have been nicer about it and she was apologetic but honestly it was such a turn off that we decided to leave. We specifically came for the pancakes as they were so good last time but service alone isn't worth it. Never felt so ignored at a place. Management needs to take a step back, observe what's going on and get it together. read more

Let me start with Kristina, she is a FANTASTIC server, she is so kind, caring, and personable. The ambience is normally always great, but on this visit it was not; the servers were SO BUSY, and we never saw a bus person or manager helping them out, every table was dirty, and some people were getting impatient because they had to wait for refills on their beverages. The food was good, but the amount was something to be desired for, we had the campfire chicken and it was a tiny chicken, more like campfire pigeon--very disappointing!! read more

This was my first time here and I came in with an open mind. The food is good. Had the country fried steak, meatloaf, chicken dumplings with sides of mac and cheese, fried okra, and steak fries. We came in around 5pm and were promptly seated. No less than 6 tables were in need of bussing; the place was a mess. Not busy, maybe half full. Understaffed and yet servers disappear for ages. Food came out quickly and there was nothing that stood out as exceptional but also nothing objectionable. The country gravy on the steak had a unique flavor; couldn't quite pin it down but it wasn't the rich delicious gravy I'm used to from other places. The steak itself was very good. The steak fries also good, fried okra nice! Mac and cheese excellent. Meatloaf was a good, generous portion and was good. The dumplings were a solid choice. I give it 4 stars for food, 3 stars for service (initial service of order taking and delivery to table was 4 and subsequent service was 2) and 2 stars for ambiance. Total averages to 3 stars. read more
