Here is the attached review I have left for your company. Deleting won't help as I also have it posted on my fb with tagged local news. Please please, do your job and help the people that have been asking for your help. "During a recent visit to the Cracker Barrel in Crestview, I was shocked to learn about unacceptable practices within the restaurant. After asking general questions about employee well-being, several servers, some of whom are no longer with the company, reached out to share their experiences. What I've learned is deeply troubling. These servers, who will remain anonymous, revealed that they risk being reprimanded by management for bringing out bread before meals. This is outrageous, especially as I personally requested bread for my one-year-old while waiting for our food. Cracker Barrel has built its reputation on hospitality, including offering biscuits and cornbread as a core part of the dining experience. Quietly removing this service without notifying customers is dishonest and unfair, particularly when it directly affects servers ability to provide the experience customers expect, ultimately hurting their tips. More disturbingly, the servers I spoke with described a toxic work environment that includes: * HR ignoring legitimate concerns raised by employees. *Management calling employees with disabilities offensive names. *A clear disregard for employee well-being. These accusations are not just disappointing; they are unacceptable. As a consumer, I am horrified to learn that a young server or someone with a disability could be berated for something as simple as fulfilling a reasonable customer request, like providing bread and jelly. To Cracker Barrel corporate leadership: You are now aware of these issues. It is your obligation to act. Retrain your management teams, hold them accountable for treating employees respectfully, and communicate openly with customers about any service changes. Continuing to ignore these problems will only damage your reputation further. The next time I visit, I will request bread directly from management to ensure no server faces backlash for doing what customers expect. For a company that prides itself on Southern hospitality, these failures are glaring and unacceptable. Do better. The spotlight is now on you. read more

My waitress was incredible! She checked on me regularly, refilled my water immediately, made sure I enjoyed my meal. She and the cook were discussing work the whole time. A first for me to hear at a Waffle House. Usually I over-hear some off the wall stuff, but they were two genuinely hard working folks! The food was fresh and hit the spot. I truly had better service at this Waffle House location than probably anywhere in my whole life.

The brisket was GOOD! The muffins were very light, buttery, moist; not dry at all or too corny. c. The bbq sauce was thankfully in a container off to the side, it was too watery for me and was not a fan of the taste, it was like ketchup with water. 3. Price a little high for my liking ($18) 4.

There is a tip jar at the window and if you pay with a debit card they have you sign the receipt where it also asks for a tip. I'm not a fan of paying drive thru service workers a tip like you would a waiter/waitress. 6. Wish they sold chili. If they did sell chili I would like to see it come with the same toppings as the baked potato does. 7. I will definitely be a returning customer just not as often due to the price.
