The food and the waitstaff , scrambled eggs came out like flapjacks and seem to be under a lamp for quite some time, they should learn how to time people's food just in case someone else orders something entirely different from a couple who are out dining together and then receiving our food later than the people who just got their bc that's ridiculous....... read more

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - Good ol country food - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cleveland, Tennessee

Went to have breakfast after running my bus route. Order steak and eggs. I wanted steak cooked medium and the eggs scrambled. Well the steak arrived and parts of it were red not pink and uncooked and the eggs I got were medium fried. This place has issues, and I see why sales are down. The waitress did ask if I wanted a to go box but never why I didn't finish the steak!!!!!!! If anyone from Cracker Barrel reads this post, I do have a picture I took of the steak. raymond_ingram1@yahoo.com read more

I had a more than pleasant time here. I arrived just before closing and spent the night in the RV in their parking lot. It is much appreciated that Cracker Barrel supports RVers by allowing us to use their lot for free. We just have to be respectful and leave the place as nice as when we arrived. I did that. In the morning, a lovely breakfast. Eggs, bacon, coffee. No biscuits or hash brown casserole because I'm sticking to a keto diet. No carbs! Service was pleasant. The restaurant is clean. The "front porch" was tidy with tables and rocking chairs and a checkers game. Inside, the restroom was in good shape. Overall, a good experience.

See all

Horrible service today made my friend and her family super long letting people go ahead of them so they just left and lady was very rude

Second visit in two months. Both visits the scrambled eggs were runny and the bacon was cold and undercooked. Wish Denny's would come back. Server was nice though. read more

If you want cold food then Cracker Barrel is the place to go. This used to be my favorite place to eat when I wanted comfort food not anymore. Food is not as good as it used to be read more

Placed a pick up order at 2pm for four baskets of biscuits. order was supposed to be ready by 5:30. got here at 5:35 and they weren't ready yet. It's now 6:15 and finally leaving... Do not order to go from here!! read more

We started going to Cracker Barrel again. I have been there maybe 3 times in the past two months all different locations. Meh. After 5 years of not going there you would think they must have improved something to keep customers. A friend and I ordered the same meal. They couldn't get that right but made it right. Another restaurant had so much dust we couldn't stop sneezing. The dust in the corner was so thick above our heads it was about 1" thick in spots. I guess if it is out of reach it doesn't get cleaned. They have added alcohol to the menu, perhaps that will help you forget how bad the service is. But we don't drink so unfortunately we remember. I am sure some will say it was different before Covid, but no, it just never improved. We will still eat there if there is no other option. Sorry we are so negative but these restaurants have a lot of potential. Maybe someone will read this and understand why we avoid this restaurant chain. I am bumping it up one star because I didn't have a bone in my soup this time. (I just avoided ordering their soup.) read more

Excellent service, food and prices. The servers are eager to serve you. Fast and friendly. The food is good home cooking with generous portions. read more

today was the worse food I ever had in my life, it was like microwave food, and instead of biscuits they had the oldest dinner bonds ever, and the worst part was that was very expensive read more

Store clean as usual store staff friendly and welcoming. Waitress was great checked on us multiple times and offered suggestions. Hostess and food would receive a 2 star at best from me. Hostess receives a 1 star she never spoke never welcomed us just grabbed 2 menus and walked to a table we said thank you, still no sound or emotion from her never told us who would wait on us . Nothing but crickets. Food, I have a go to food as we frequent CB often and love the standard CB had always lived up to and Cleveland TN is our home CB. My go to is Chicken and Dumplings with three sides, this visit the sides were good at best the chicken and dumplings were terrible all dumplings and a single sliver of chicken. I hope as we live this place that this is not the new standard and some one does some training on what type of personality is needed as "the first impression person" a hostess/ host requires. Also food quality control must be a last line of defense for quality food to be served. We will give it another go as the standard has always been high, just way below standard on Monday 9/23/24 around 2:30 pm read more

Since they got the rainbow trout dinner n us being in Keto, this has become our go to restaurant. We get the broccoli n the salad with no pig( unclean) and no croutons. We take our own herbs since their dressings all have GMOed SUGAR! I ask for lemon n use about 1 T n vinegar3T n oil 3T and we add a bit of oregano 1/8 tsp n garlic 1 tsp n sea salt to taste n a tad of pepper and it's a wonderful dressing. And we get Lots of butter melted on the fish n broccoli. And we have ourselves a nice nutritious n Keto meal. That trout is so good! Yummy! Too bad it didn't come with more than 2 little pieces of trout though! But we always need omega 3. We hate fishy fish so that's why we get this when we go out! Thank you Cracker Barrel in Cleveland TN! read more

I placed this order online, and unfortunately, it did not go directly to the Cracker Barrel website, but instead, Uber eats. Therefore, when I went to pick it up, I had to go inside to retrieve it instead of using the car pick up service. The meal was ready at 11:50, but it was not brought out to me until 1230. I was missing my mashed potatoes from the order. The food was OK. The service could have been much better. read more

Vegetable plates were tasty, ample servings, corn muffins a little dry. Order was ready on time.

Had an okay experience at this Cracker Barrel. Our waiter was extremely polite and service was extremely fast. Like most Cracker Barrels, it's good bang for your buck. I got the fried chicken platter (half a chicken) for about $12. Came with two sides; I got the fried apples and the corn. Fried apples were good and sweet and cinnamony. I wouldn't recommend the corn, as it is probably straight out of a can. Chicken was good but a little bit too soggy for my liking. Probably wouldn't come back for the fried chicken, might come back to try some other things on their menu. read more

Arrived at 9am on a Sunday morning. Waitress promptly took my drink order had 3 more guests arrived about 10 minutes after me same thing waitress again did her job properly. Orders taken she apologized 3x for food delay. After inquiry about food approximately 1hour later we were told the food was now being started and would be out soon. Food never arrived after I hour in restaurant my party left location. Can't speak to food quality never revived any draw your own conclusio. read more

Ordered the 4 piece fried chicken, with okra and steak fries as a side. The okra was soggy, and undercooked, and the steak fries looked like they'd been sitting under a lamp for hours. Both sides were soggy and under salted. The chicken was by far the worst, the batter was way too thick, and there was almost no chicken underneath it. Out of an entire thigh, there were maybe 4-5 bites of chicken. read more

Great place to eat! Food was delicious. If you order from the website triple check your order as they are known for not including all your food that you ask for. You can complain but that dose no good they don't care nor as it got any better. read more

I came to Cracker Barrel this last Sunday with my family just for the apple french toast bake and had a great experience and amazing food!!! Our server Arianna made sure we had everything we needed while giving us a beautiful smile and personality the whole time!! read more

I have had the worst experience with Cracker Barrel! They won't own the issues and try to blame the delivery service. I have gone there myself to order take out and they still don't get it right. read more

The atmosphere was relaxing and cozy as expected... Customer service was great my breakfast was cooked well done too done and sat for a few min. Bacon was all fat but someone has to eat it right? read more

Food was good. Service was good. Nice and chilly on a hot day. Had lemon pepper trout and carrots.

Cracker Barrel is a Southern staple of where to find and get good southern comfort food. It is generally great for breakfast, lunch and or dinner. This particulat location is decent. The hospitality and service are great and excellent for the dine in experience. The food can sometime be mediocur. I will be back because this is the only place that has Thanksgiving every Thursday and sometimes you just want a comfort meal. The store is great, especially the clearance section. read more

My eggs & bacon were over cooked. Then I found a piece of plastic in my food. I brought it to the attention of our server who spoke to the manager. Other than an apology from the server, it was I acknowledged. Needless to say I do not recommend. If I found plastic in my food, what will you find in yours? Absolutely disgusting. read more

If you wanted to judge covid restriction compliance in this part of Tennessee you need not go further than this place on a Saturday evening. Despite the face covering requirement on the door only about half had anything on. It looked like Cracker Barrel had given up or maybe had never tried in the first place. Other than that my carry out order came out rather quick for how busy they were. Food was tasty. Both of us ordered a safe roasted chicken dish with a couple of sides which were okay. All in all, food was fine and rather inexpensive. Parking was ample. Not likely to return until covid is gone. read more

worst experience ever! Was waiting on food from 6pm until 830pm. food was cold. one person got their sides which were cold and not the entree. when we talked to the manager. he did nothing about it and went back into the kitchen. then we couldn't pay our checks because they we're still open. staff were standing around when this waitress clearly needed help. people who came in after us got their food quicker than us who had been there for 2hours. read more

Typical Cracker Barrel. I came for lunch on a Sunday and had to wait an hour for a table of 4. I got blueberry pancakes with fried apples and it was 22$. The pancakes were great as always, but not a lot of quantity for the price. Overall good food, mediocre service and a very expensive meal. read more

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - 6 Wild Maine Blueberry Pancakes with Fried apples. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cleveland, Tennessee

Our name was called and we went to the hostess stand. The gentleman told the young lady table 243. We sat and was greeted within a reasonable amount of time. Our drink orders were taken and I asked for milk and orange juice. I was brought OJ. No problem I'll get it later. But the I ran out of OJ and our waitress walked by our table 3 times, twice to the table next to us, 1. Taking their drink order and 2. Bringing their drink order. All 3 times she never once asked if i needed a refill. They can't control the food but drinks are definitely something they do have full control over. I actually started timing from the 2nd time she was at the table beside us how long before she checked on us and it was 22 minutes before she returned and it was to bring our food. A lady at the table beside us asked another employee that was walking around with with a tablet to bring her more coffee. So apparently, this is an issue with the particular waitress. read more

We ordered breakfast omelets. They were not in the menu but they made some for us and gave me a side salad I requested. For such accommodations I give them five stars. The food was good and filling. The service was great. read more

I have had many good meals at Cracker Barrel in the past, but today wasn't a good food day. I ordered the Wednesday daily special and was told that there was no such thing as a daily special by the manager and the servers. It's on the Menu and on Cracker Barrel website. What is going on? I then ordered a piece of chicken that taste like leather and a piece of coca-Cola cake, that was old. I can't spend good money on a meal that isn't edible. It went in the garbage. I won't be going back. It's sad that a good restaurant has destroyed itself. read more

I'm home visiting my mum for the holidays and we wanted to stay safe with the Covid numbers skyrocketing here in Cleveland, so we ordered take out online, two different times. Both times, I arrived to pick up my order and had to wait almost a half hour, roughly 20+ minutes *after* the scheduled pickup time, before the order was finished and ready to go. This review, however, is for the second trip: I placed my order online, used a gift card, and received a confirmation and receipt. Shortly thereafter, I received an email letting me know that my payment was not processed and I would need to pay at pickup. No problem. When I got to the store, I spoke with the manager who informed me that they held off making my order because of the payment issue. He was even kind to let me change my order as the online service said that two of the Thursday veggies were not available. I ordered two vegetable plates and thought nothing of having to wait a bit extra because the vegetables are easy enough to come from the kitchen. I waited almost 30 minutes before my order came out. 30 minutes! When I got home about 15 minutes later, the vegetable plates were depressing-looking and not appealing whatsoever. The food was lukewarm, at best. The cornbread dressing was scattered across the well of the plate like a demolished sand castle. The "sweet potato casserole" was nothing more than warmed up baby food. On the plus side, the cornbread muffins were tasty, as expected, and not burned. This was the worst meal we've ever had from Cracker Barrel. The entire experience was utterly disappointing. I don't know what it is with Cracker Barrel lately- and really a lot of chain restaurants- but their take out experience is completely lacking. The food itself wasn't the greatest, but the wait time for food that is supposed to be ready by a certain time is ridiculous. Five or so minutes extra, not a big deal, but over 20+ minutes past scheduled pickup for some vegetables to be spooned out of pots into to-go containers? There's no excuse for that. read more

Less food for higher prices. Not worth all the noise. Service is always good though. The store is awesome also.

We had a darling server, who was not backed up by her manager or kitchen staff. After waiting an hour since ordering we changed our order to go. But then was informed that they just started making our food, so we told them never mind and tipped the server instead. The manager mumbled some kind of apology. If there is a staffing shortage - they shouldn't open as many tables. I feel bad for the folks who work there under bad direction whether it's a corporate thing or a management thing. I'd post a picture of the food but I never got it. read more

This is the first review I have ever left and hate to dog Cracker Barrel but Mc Donald can cook a steak better than what I got Couldn't eat the first bite only right reason leveling one star is because I can leave zero read more

We went on a Saturday night and had a great waitress, Jordan. She was friendly, welcoming, checked in frequently and replenished our drinks without us even having to mention it. Our food was fresh and very good. Everyone in the store was fantastic. We loved it. read more

I stopped in to give their fried chicken try and was so disappointed on several different levels. The very first thing that disappointed me was the fact that when I asked for all legs, I was told that they couldn't do that. That if they did it for me, that's would have to do it for everyone. Then when my order came out the dissatisfaction continued. I found that the chicken was way over cooked d the breading tastes awful. So bad that I couldn't even finish my meal. It will be a very long time before I darken the door of Cracker Barrel. read more

We arrived at 7pm and didn't leave until 9 because it took so long to get our food. We waited and hour and half to get the food and had to ask the waitress five times for biscuits even after we got our food. The eggs were dry and crusty, the bacon was old and undercooked, and all of the food was cold and I could tell it sat under a heat lamp for a long time. The kids hamburger was so burnt it was hard as a rock and we had to have it taken off the bill because it was was so bad they couldn't eat it. The bathrooms were soaking wet because someone vomited in the bathroom floor. They cleaned it with a water hose, but they sprayed the toilets with water too and there was wet toilet paper all over the sides and front of the toilets. This place needs new management or they need to take a serious look at their service quality standards. read more

After driving 10 hours my husband and I were exhausted and after checking in to our hotel we ordered delivery. WORST MISTAKE EVER!! I specifically asked for utensils, salt, pepper, napkins, butter and jelly. We received our meals with no utensils to eat with and no condiments. This will be our LAST meal from any Cracker Barrel! Also food was cold and wasn't appetizing at all. Save your money and eat somewhere where they respect their customers enough to make sure your order is correct. read more

Food was spot on! Love that they serve breakfast all hours. Server was friendly abd attentive.

First of all, I love Cracker Barrel. Secondly, I know this was likely an isolated incident. Where do I start. We waited a while to get seated, which is understandable for a Friday night. We sat down and got comfy. The waitress came over and got our drink orders. She immediately came back and said her assistant was getting our drinks and she wanted to take our order. Okay, let me quickly look through the menu. Well, we ordered and waited. The food finally arrived and one of our hamburger steaks was without onions and it was over cooked. The waitress started talking about the cooks and blah blah blah. The food was sent back and the then she brought out a replacement. When she did she was obviously eating something, which is a health code violation, and then she burped while she was taking to us. At that point I was done. We finished up and left but not before we got to hear all about her health problems. Oh I'll be back but it'll be a while and I'll request a par 4 with maroon apron. read more
