I had a late dinner and so I arrived here not at all hungry. But eating wasn't my primary purpose today. I'm "Cracker Docking" which is a portmanteau word combining "Cracker Barrel" with "boondocking". Basically, I'm spending the night in my RV in the Cracker Barrel parking lot. Easy, mostly quiet and best of all, free. And while I was out at 5:45 am well before they opened, I owe you a breakfast! Thanks for the positive visit!

I've NEVER had a bad experience at a Cracker Barrel, until this visit. I came in on a Saturday in August, 2024 near opening time, after twelve hours on the road. The store was not busy at all, and I was seated immediately. I sat there for eleven minutes without being greeted, offered water, or even apologized to for the wait. And I'm not sure the excuse for this, as there were only two occupied tables in my half of the restaurant. After sitting there for eleven minutes without being greeted, and seeing other patrons be served and even have their tables bussed, I approached the hostess and told the her that after eleven minutes, no one knew I was sitting at the table I hadn't gotten any service. The hostess just stared at me....For an awkward amount of time. She just went totally blank. I don't think she had been trained to do anything other than point people to a table...she just froze. So after the long, awkward pause, she tells me "I hope you have a nice day." I'll save you the details of the remainder of that conversation, but it only got worse. Needless to say, after far too long of the hostess not grasping what was going on, I walked out. It was truly disappointing to spend the entire night thinking about Cracker Barrel, only to have that dream snatched away from you. read more

I am way overdue for updating my review of Cracker Barrel, which my family and I are grateful to have as a local dining option in Harrison. My husband and I recently stopped in for Sunday dinner. As usual, we were greeted by friendly staff and seated immediately. For my entree, I tried something new: the Maple Bacon Grilled Chicken. My husband had the Old Timers Breakfast with Sirloin Steak. First, the overall presentation of the Maple Bacon Grilled Chicken was wonderful. It was almost too pretty to eat. Almost. The chicken was very tender, and the seasoning was perfect. I was initially worried that the maple would make it too sweet, but that wasn't the case at all. Each bite was delicious. My husband tried it too, and he also loved it. So why 4 stars instead of 5? My husband regretted ordering the sirloin with his meal instead of ham. He commented that the sirloin was a lite tough, despite being served medium rare,, and lacked flavor. There was no rub or seasoning. Everything else, though, was flavorful and delicious, especially the fried apples. The next time you're in the neighborhood I highly recommend that you stop in for a bite, and enjoy a little shopping while you're there. Bon Appétit! read more

Hadn't been there for as years. Disappointed. We took a couple of the grandkids. One ordered ribs but they didn't have it that day. It was noted on the menu but he hasn't noticed it. Ordered country fried steak. Some meat smothered in white gravy. Not good. I went with the fried chicken. Fair but fat from good. Popeyes is better. The 8 year old got the non breaded chicken fingers. Apparently tasted better than it looked. But not good enough to finish. The place bombards you with candy and junk. Won't be back read more

I found it frustrating when the food trickled out to our table over 10 minutes. The temperature of our food was not very hot. Yet, overcooked a bit besides the eggs. Dry deep fried chicken not even the gravy could save. I had the Grandpas Breakfast and there were some off flavors going on. I believe it was all over seasoned. Servers and all were nice and did all they could. It was just a swing and a miss tonight. read more

I really think this store is miss managed. Usually at restaurants you see managers rounding out in the dining area helping to deliver food help see people we have never seen a leader on Sunday mornings helping anyone. I do feel bad for the staff because it seems like most of them are trying your checkout cashier in the store is very slow and it's unfortunate. You can't use gift cards when you pay at the table. read more

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - Take a look at the biscuit size compared to the syrup in the butter. It's barely larger than the butter. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Harrison, Ohio

We hesitated to stop because we have been to some pretty bad CB's lately but let me tell you this one is GREAT! The food is the style and quality that CB is known for. Julie was our waitress. she was very good! I heard her tell the ppl next to us that she has been there over 7 years. IT SHOWS! she was the best waitress we have had at a CB in a long time . we go to a lot of Cracker Barrel's. definitely put this on your stop over! read more

I chose curbside pick up which didn't work, because I eventually had to go in. They asked if I'd like to add a dessert and I said yes. I paid for it but didn't get it. And no biscuits. I wish they'd check the orders. read more

I would give no stars if I could. The last two times I have been to this Cracker Barrel, the food was just ok, but still decent portions. Last night my family dined in and the food was terrible. The portions were certainly smaller and my family all had diarrhea after eating here. The fried catfish I ordered was undercooked and tasted fishy, no seasonings at all, the side of hashbrown casserole and carrots were tossed on the plate with the catfish, when the sides are usually in bowls on the side. The hashbrown casserole hasn't tasted good the last few times I've been here, but the carrots last night were still hard with no butter or flavor at all. This place has gone way down hill. read more

i'm a single elderly man and the last three times I've been in there. It's like I'm invisible the waitress I gave a simple order to. I've watched other people be seated after I have been. They've got their drinks and their order before I even got a drink I have walked out of this place twice now this this is poor management and these young girls that they are hiring now just do not want to work. I remember this place being one of the best service restaurants there was in Harrison. I would give it one star but there are a couple I'm sure decent waitresses there unfortunately I haven't came across one at all. Either get new management or train these very young and experiences young ladies a proper way to serve their guest, I will not be going back. I would say three strikes and you're out but it's two strikes with me. This is the second time I walked out of this place watching other people get their meals water service by a good waitress and I always seem to get to bad ones because I guess I'm a single man by the way I'm a big and what's good service I always leave a 25 to 30% tip. I will take my business elsewhere. It's a shame. And what is up with the high prices $3.45 for a glass iced tea really I don't know what kind of tea you're buying and a portion size has shrunk by 1/3% on all your meals. You're a disgrace good luck. I hope you get closed down read more

Bathroom was exquisite host named leland Deserves all the credit he is so good at his job and deserves a raise. Food was pretty good too read more

I feel like we got ripped off tonight. We are regulars to CB (usually about once a month). We always get baked potatoes as one of our sides INCLUDED with our meal. Tonight- our check said that we both got a loaded baked potato- which is normally a premium side. This added roughly 5 dollars to our total. When I told the manager that the check was incorrect since we both just got plain potatoes with only butter- she told us that it's all the same now. All potatoes are rung up as loaded potatoes! This is never how it was before so I picked up a menu when walking out to find that baked potatoes are no longer a regular side. Your only option to order is the premium priced loaded potato EVEN IF YOU GET IT PLAIN?! This is incredibly dumb and very purposeful since CB knows that most of their customers order a baked potato with their meals. It's too much of a common side that most everyone orders to have done this. CB knows this and is taking advantage of their customers. With the quality of service & food declining and now this little incident- we've come to the conclusion that we will not be frequenting CB like we used too. Too many changes all at once for this place. read more

Service was horrible, gave us the wrong order, burnt my burger and still served it, didn't give coleslaw but a little after the table beside us got coleslaw, had dirt and dust in my tea, overall not happy read more

We were seated but never waited on. They were not crowded at all and a waitress kept walking by our table but never acknowledged us. No one ever came to our table to take a drink or or anything. After waiting 15 minutes we ended up walking out. We were the only blacks in the restaurant. read more

1. Arrived at 12:15 on a Wednesday with 3adults and 3 toddlers. Waited 10 minutes for a table. Hostess was not friendly. 2. We told the beverage server and food server bill was to be split between 2 parties. Server still asked how the bill was to be split if at all. 3. No soup spoons were available for my soup. Tough to consume a broth based soup with a teaspoon. 4. No napkins provided at the table, then had to ask twice. 5. Salad greens were 100% iceberg....blah. 6. Blue cheese dressing was bottled....blah. 7. Server never came back until the end of the meal to check if we needed anything. 8. Waited 10 minutes at the register to check out. 9. Understaffed. 10. Food is mediocre at best. read more

I love Cracker Barrel! The food is consistent and good, great prices, and usually the service is pretty good too! I had the steak and egg hash brown casserole and it was SO good. Also, the biscuit beignets are a must. It's obviously not going to be a fine dining experience, but it's perfect for an affordable and tasty meal. Great for the whole family. Everyone was very nice and as always, love the country store and decor in the restaurant itself. Would of course come back! read more

Waited over 30 minutes for an order at curbside pickup. Then called the store only to be put on hold twice and never answered the call. after 50 minute I just left. 3 weeks later I tried again (my wife said everyone has a bad day) only to have the same results. This store needs a new management read more

For the value, this place is a home run. And all-day breakfast, what's not to love? I was having a difficult time deciding between dinner and breakfast so I got both. The fact that they offer pancakes as a substitute for a regular side dish made my decision an easy one. I'd get both! Our waiter on this occasion was excellent. He was Johnny-on-the-spot with refills, accurate with our orders and courteous. On this occasion I splurged for the strawberry lemonade which I highly recommend. It's worth the extra buck or two. As far as the meatloaf, which is advertised as one of their specials dishes, I didn't taste what was so special about it and will probably get something different next time. However, the breakfast and their pancakes are always dynamite no matter which location I've been to. And those little bottles of warm syrup...what's not to love about that?! Going to a Cracker Barrel has always been a treat (usually reserved for road trips) and this location is no exception. Check this one out if you're in the area! read more

Food is mediocre. Service is good. Love the store and shopping in it! Would eat here again. Dinning area could use a refresh. It's been the same decorations since it opened. read more

Good food. Service is not so great at times. Usually pretty clean inside. And the menu has something for everyone.

Quick, friendly service on New Years' Eve. Grilled trout was well executed, flaky and well seasoned. Country ham ditto. Biscuits were flaky and high, green beans in pot liquor as they should be. Fine dining? No, but well made comfort food should not be sneered at for being what it is. It's also rare to find trout on a menu, and it's usually twice as expensive as here. read more

Arrived at CB at 4:45, seated very quickly, many empty tables. Server seemed flustered. When she came to get our orders, I ordered Country fried shrimp and she seemed confused. Showed her menu listing. She wrote it down, went away, came back 10 minutes later and said it wasn't on the computer so I'd need to order something different. Told her to ask someone else (since she said she was new). Guy came back out with her (not another server) and I showed it to him. He seemed a bit confused also, said we'll figure it out. We finally got our food at 5:35. Had already asked for boxes cause we had to be home at 6:00. Had to throw food in boxes while my husband paid. Several items were missing so had to wait for her to get them. Worst experience we had ever had at CB. Husband was asked by cashier how was it. He said horrible. She offered to get a manager but he said we didn't have time. Very disappointing!!! read more

The food was good when it finally arrived. Took almost 30 minutes to receive our breakfast after we ordered. Was watching everyone around it and no one was getting their food. No explanation was given. read more

we came in for a quick bite to eat. and yet waited so long to seated while a watriess twittled her thumbs. then when we finally did get seated the guy made snotty remarked over and over and gave us extremely dirty looks. the lady that gave us are food was very sweet tho read more

I am not the biggest fan of any Cracker Barrel. I just typically cannot find anything uniquely different enough to go there to eat. However, because of my friends, I tried their meatloaf entrée for $9.69. It was a huge slice of meatloaf; it was still nothing too different to talk about but it hit the spot. The creamy hashbrown was different and OK. It came with my two other sides of baked sweet potato and fresh steamed broccoli. I did not care too much for the LIGHTLY toasted biscuits, but they could have been better if more toasted. read more

The service was terrible just went here for some late lunch ate my whole meal without a drink my waitress asked if I wanted biscuits or cornbread and I said biscuits which I never saw plus me and my husband waited 20 minutes to even speak to someone after we sat down honestly the best part of this experience was leaving... Food was great props to the cook read more

I love Cracker Barrel and this location has been my family's go to for years. I've never had a bad experience here. The food is always good and the staff is even better. My mom treated me to breakfast the other day. We decided to get a little wild and try their new pecan praline iced coffee. It was much sweeter than I normally take my coffee, but it was very good! I've tired their goo-goo cluster latte and wasn't too impressed, but their pecan praline was top notch. I ordered what I was order, which is the Sunrise Sampler. It comes with basically everything on the breakfast menu. I didn't even eat half because I was so full. read more

Haven't been to Cracker Barrel in quite some time. My son and I went this morning and it was phenomenal. Not just the food but the service was really special! Our server was a young lady Savannah. I can't say enough of her smiling face and generosity she showed throughout our visit! I'll definitely be back as long as Cracker Barrel has knowledgeable waitresses like Savannah! read more

We ordered are food at 5:05 and it about took a hour for and the time you bring the food out it was 5:47 no updates or anything no appetizers no nothing read more

Great service every time we come here! Food is great, love the Wednesday special- broccoli cheddar chicken!

This was one of the last places we ate at before everything shut down. And like always they delivered great food! Still can't mimic their crispy pancakes no matter how hard I try. We'll be back! Primary thing I'm not a fan of is the cramped store you have to walk through and squeeze past people etc to get to the dining room. read more

Was good but took awhile to get seated expected since it was on a holiday. Will give it another shot.

This location was my first Cracker Barrel experience. The first thing I thought was, why is there a store in the restaurant? Nowadays I like the uniqueness of the set up and the merchandise they sell. The merchandise they sell seems like things you can find at Hallmark. I love the country feel of the decor and I like hospitality. I had a mixed plate of meat loaf and pork with green beans. The food was okay. Simple but good. Overall, I'm glad I got to try Cracker Barrel and I have been to other locations since my first visit for breakfast and lunch. read more

Food was good and no wait on weeknight. Our waitress seemed new but the food was great.

My friends and I went to this Cracker Barrel on Easter Sunday at around 11am. There was a rush of people leaving morning mass, so there was a bit of a wait but a lot less than we expected. We were served by an extremely kind and gracious waitress named Hailey. she was sociable and checked on us semi-frequently despite the rush. All the food was correct, and she refilled our coffees whenever she noticed they were empty. She was much kinder to a group of teenagers than many wait staff are, and this was the best customer service experience I've ever had at a restaurant. read more

Food is always good but service is on a downhill slope. This last was the worst. Told a 15 min wait. After about 10 the called our name and then told us it was a mistake. Waited another 15 min and went up to check and they said we weren't on the list. Told us they could expedite us a table, finally get a table and there are 10+ open tables throughout the establishment. So I would say they were understaffed, except for the fact that there are sometimes as many as 5 people at the hostess station, 3 people in the lobby trying to sell me junk or candy samples and at times 5 more people standing by the fireplace watching the servers work. So I will just say mis-managed resources. read more

My husband and I visited cracker barrel Harrison Ohio yesterday for lunch and the store and restaurant is immaculate so clean you can eat off the floor I really want to give kudos to cracker barrel for following state and government guidelines CDC guidelines and give you guys a great review food was great hospitality was great it was great all around thank you for all you do thank you for your employees stay safe and may your finances be great thank you for all that you do for all of us read more

The food at Cracker Barrel is great, however this review is more about their carry out system. I wish they had an online order system. Calling is such a chore and deters us from ordering more often. I called at 5:09 to place an order for 3 meals, after being on hold for 3 full minutes someone finally took my order. Was told 10-15 minutes (@5:14). I arrived at 5:30 and was told it wasn't ready. Waited 20 minutes in the store before it was finally brought out. After returning home we discovered some forgotten items, careless packing and cold food. read more
