Also, on Sunday nights, they do have priced pizzas, which is really awesome. They have a wide variety of at least a dozen different types of hotdog, and they are all very tasty. Not to mention, the staff is just killer cool!

But the main reason you go to a restaurant on the river is shrimp, right? Who doesn't love shrimp right out of the river? I don't know if that's even a thing, but I was in the mood for shrimp and I thought I'd turn pink like a flamingo from the amount of shrimp I started with the Shrimp Cocktail which was a generous portion of shrimp expertly placed on the rim of a cocktail glass. The Shrimp Happens was a hodgepodge of fried and grilled shrimp and it was also amazing, although a bit too much fried for me. The atmosphere was a bit on the dirty hole in the wall side. And like most people, I love a good hole-in-the-wall, but the food has to back it up. The food was good, but not outstanding to call it a hole in the wall. I also love the Fire Exit!

Waitresses seem in very bad moods a lot of them. Management should raise their salary to 7.25 hour plus tips. I think this would help the all over atmosphere confidence of the crew. If not then you keep getting complaints as usual. Some of the food on hot bar look crusty and dried, lots of plates were dirty trash on floors guys at grill weren't interested in helping customers but talking.

I recently visited Cracker Barrel with high hopes, but sadly, my experience left much to be desired. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt dated and tired. The staff seemed disinterested and unwelcoming, which set the tone for the rest of my visit. The food was mediocre at best. I ordered a dish that was supposed to be a house specialty, but it lacked flavor and freshness. It tasted like something reheated from a frozen meal, which was incredibly disappointing considering the restaurant's reputation. The service was slow and inattentive. It took ages for my order to arrive, and when it did, it was lukewarm at best. The servers seemed more interested in chatting amongst themselves than catering to the needs of the customers. To make matters worse, the cleanliness of the restaurant was questionable. The tables were sticky, and the overall cleanliness left much to be desired. It's safe to say that I won't be returning to Cracker Barrel anytime soon. Save your time and money and look for dining options that offer better quality food, service, and ambiance. read more

We came on Christmas Eve to get some breakfast and spend time with family, it was great until the manager came up to us and told us that the servers only make money if they are able to turn their tables, basically telling us to leave. How rude! We had just finished eating! Absolutely unacceptable read more

Coffee was hot and pretty fair and waitress kept it topped off. My wife's meal was equal. Bacon was generous and perhaps a little over cooked for my taste. I have been told that overcooked/ well cooked meat is a Southern standard so maybe it is just me and I rarely eat anything but cereal or oatmeal for breakfast at home. The ambience is humble, homey with plenty of room. Overall, it was just about average. The people and service was the high point. They were very friendly and nice.

I ordered the roasted chicken leg quarter, and that was honestly the only thing that tasted good. Unfortunately, everything else we tried was really disappointing. The turnip greens were extremely sweet and tasted canned, and the pinto beans were especially off -- they had a sour, almost mildewy flavor, like they'd been mixed with an older batch. I couldn't eat them at all. The hush puppies were very greasy, and even the tea order was mixed up. I ordered half-and-half tea, but on the second serving I was given sweet tea and had to ask again for unsweet. This might be an okay place if you're feeding a large group and not too picky, but overall the food just wasn't good, and it didn't feel fresh. I really think the kitchen needs to review quality and freshness. Personally, I'd rather eat at home than come back. I'm definitely willing to try it again but the food has got to be more fresh if it's southern home cooking.
