Soooooo good. Everything was so tasty. Some of the best biscuits I've ever had. I had the country fried steak with sawmill, gravy, and Mountain apples and okra. My husband had a roasted pot roast, and it was very tender and tasty as well. Could not believe how well it was prepared. The staff was very very attentive, service was prompt. Food was hot. I must admit that the past few times I've been to Cracker Barrel they were off their game from what they used to be. Not at this place. Of course we like the old things. It could use a little freshening up, however and I understand they're going to be doing more of that. read more

I ordered a burger, fries & tea for curbside pickup. I had to wait another 20 minutes after the stated time it was expected to take. There was a small piece of bone in the Burger, I hope it was bone & not a finger nail. This was my very last trip I will make to any Cracker Barrel. For $25 I expect much better. They have been declining for years with their food quality. We used to eat a Cracker Barrel once every month or so. read more

The food tonight was awful. Ordered Maple Bacon Chicken and the BBQ ribs. The chicken was gross. It was like "plastic" chicken not real chicken. Tough, all pressed out, not a good taste. Gave some to the dogs and they had to chomp on it several times instead of just chomp and swallow. Meat wouldn't even pull apart like chicken should. The bacon was very undercooked, flopped around like a wet noodle, which made it rubbery and hard to bite or cut through. The coleslaw was bland and worse than straight cabbage. The slaw had large chunks of cabbage, very coarse chop, the sauce was tasteless, not creamy, and almost not there. The ribs were ok but had a hard dry skin over the meat side of the ribs. Overall, very very disappointing. read more

Food was as expected. Pretty good. I enjoyed it. Restaurant was out of alot of items. Service was very slow. I am sure they are understaffed. True rating is 3.25 I will be back when in the area. No special trip. It's always a nice cozy feel at a Cracker Barrel. read more

Stopped here on a whim, and several things happened that made me want to say meh, it could be so much better. My friends wanted to take me and I gave it a chance, but to be honest this location isn't great. My friends wanted brunch at Cracker Barrel because their experience at other CBs were much better than what we had here. The first issue was that of the 5 people who ordered, 4 out of 5 in our group had something missing or and 1 had their order "lost." One of our friends had to wait much longer than the rest of us because of the missing order. Many things were missing like the country fried steak sauce, almost every dish had a side missing. The food itself was alright, it is to be expected, but the service definitely missed the mark here. Overall, not happy with it but the reason why it's only 3 stars and not lower is because the manager did straighten things out after the issues that occurred with our order. Hopefully they do better on the future orders, and but this past experience wasn't great. read more

Kayton was awesome and adorable! we were tired travelers, were seated immediately, she helped us with our order, and we literally had our dinner in 5 minutes. it was the best! she even put in our appetizer before we ordered our meals so it would be ready for us. the chicken was perfect, the mac and cheese was creamy, and the cooked apples hit the spot. thank you! read more

Staff and service is always friendly. Food is on point. Awesome, we stop in every time we come through there a couple times a year.

First let me say that we were NOT going to go here for breakfast because of all the negative reviews but we were hungry and gave it a chance anyway. I know everyone has there own expectations when dining out but we found this location to be awesome! Every single employee we came in contact with where delightful and extremely helpful. The restaurant was very clean as well as the restrooms. Our breakfasts were great, but it was our service who made this experience all the better. Our server, Marissa, was outstanding, we absolutely loved everything about her and the personalized service she gave us. We raved about the food and service to our friends and brought them there a couple weeks later. Marissa happened to be there so we requested her section. She even remembered who we were! My friend and I were bother servers back in the 80's when customer service really meant something. You just don't find that much anymore, but we did here at this Cracker Barrel in Kimball, TN. Thank you to the management there for raising such wonderful employees, your place really shines through. See you soon! read more

Stopped in for a quick dinner. Food was excellent. Our server Hayden was perfect. We accidentally left an envelope with cash on the table and Hayden was quick to catch us before we left and returned to us. read more

Miserable experience today. Waited 45 minutes for our meal. Server was MIA for at least 20 minutes. We were traveling. Hungry. Asked for bread. That didn't happen. Asked for water. Twice. Got one. Not two. No tea refills the entire meal. Asked for jam and honey. Nope! No napkins either. Finally talked to a manager. Offered to comp desserts to go. That's something. Ordered from the after 4:00 early dinner menu. Got charged regular dinner price. Had to go back inside to get the check corrected. We are driving. We are working. Not a Holiday for us. This stop killed 1.5 hours of our day. It was not busy at all. No idea what the problem is at this store. Server was initially friendly, but then she fell off a cliff. Manager said he was new. Apologized. Hopefully he can fix the chaos! read more

Very disappointing today. We went there and got meatloaf because they said they could serve it to go very quickly to in 10 minutes. It took closer to a half an hour for them to slice a piece of meatloaf put potatoes with virtually no gravy and a couple teaspoons of green beans a complete and utter rip off and a waste of a half hour. I'd like a refund. This is trash. read more

the service is so slow i've watched 5 tables get served (we arrived first) and receive biscuits before we even received drinks.

We had been eating fast food on this trip, so it was time to sit down to comfort food. We were seated immediately on New Year's Eve, . We both chose the Tuesday special - trout - based on previous experience. I had fried okra and fresh apple slices with my meal, along with blackberry jam on my biscuits. It was an excellent choice. Service was somewhat slow - typical of Cracker Barrel, imho. It was a great stop! read more

I was traveling through Tennessee for a military move with my family and we wanted a hot breakfast badly. So we stopped at an old faithful. Boy was that a mistake. So it was a 40 min to be seated...totally understandable...another 20 minutes for the food...custom to order so understandable as well...so why was ALL of the food cold? I mean everything from the eggs to the French toast. The warm syrup was hotter than the food! Even the hot tea was cold! It wasn't hot enough to desolve the sugar. On top of the food being cold, it was horrible. We asked for cheese on the eggs. There was an orange square outline of cheese on the eggs but trust me that wasn't real cheese. That was a cheese product but it wasn't cheese. We ordered "mama's" french toast...it was the worst I french toast I have ever had. My wife said, "Who's mama?! Because my mama would never make french toast this bad." Prisoners on death row are fed better! So we stayed at Arnold Air Force Base the night before which is like 30 minutes down the road. My wife asked if they honored a military discount. They said Cracker Barrels only offer a discount when they are near a military base. Well I guess this base doesn't count. And that's fine, I'm not going to argue about that, just the justification. They should just say they don't do one. The reason I bring it up is because in the same breath, they ask when you are paying the bill if you want to buy some jelly beans because a percentage of the profits go to help veterans. Really??? So suddenly we care about veterans? The only good thing I can salvage out of this visit was our waitress. She was really nice and tried to do her best! But this after this eating experience, I would never go back to this restaurant or a Cracker Barrel period! read more

Great service on Easter morning and the food came out fast and was always had a filled cup of coffee ice breakfast.

Husband and I just enjoyed a delicious meatloaf lunch. The service was prompt and friendly. The ambiance is just you'd expect from Cracker Barrel- down home country feeling. I have seen mixed reviews about this particular location, but we were completely satisfied! read more

Was I on candid camera? I'll just list my experience: 1. Cold while waiting in gift shop 2. So cold I went and put pants on in the car 3. Came back in and found table. Sat in chair to find it was wet, so wet my pants still are not dry as I write this. 4. Received bland food ( yeah I know people with dietary restrictions need less sodium, but food can be seasoned). 5. Waitress spilled coffee and tea on us The experience was so bad that it is almost comical. 6. Overall the food was fine read more

We were in the area for a mid-January delayed Christmas (dang pandemic) and my (from NY) brother-in-law wanted some "country cooking," so we went here based on Cracker Barrel being so well known. We were patient because we know staffing issues exist right now, but allowing for that, service was still really, really awful. Both in slowness and attitude. The food was... well, let's just say we ate enough to kill our hunger and took a box home for the dogs (they liked it, but then again they are fine without TP). The next day we went to Herman's Soul Food, not too far away. It was southern, delicious, and had excellent service. We plan to stop by again before we leave! I wish we had looked up this CB location before we went, seems it's pretty universally panned as being somewhere between just acceptable and downright awful. Take note Cracker Barrel Corporate: this place is tarnishing your brand name! read more

What used to be one of my favorite breakfast places is now one of my biggest disappointments and a source of aggravation. They have butchered their menu by decreasing not only your choices but the size of the portions. It is like they have decided they no longer care what the customer wants and now put what brings the biggest profit for them out there, take it or leave it. They definitely lost me as a customer. read more

Had to wait 5 minutes to be seated when no one in the line. Had to ask twice to be seated. Three waitresses waiting on tables l acted like we were invisible. we didn't get service. manager said he would get someone and still no one came. A waitress walked by and we asked for help, She said in not a very nice tone "this is not my section". We got up and left. I would not even give this place 1 star but it wouldn't let me. Do not stop here. read more

For any non-Southerner wondering: Cracker Barrel is NOT a real or good representation of soul food. It is not. It's an embarrassment masquerading under a veneer of good, old fashioned, quaint country intolerance. I don't usually leave reviews on chain restaurants...but this was so bad on so many levels. Although we had a large party (9 of us), the restaurant had numerous empty tables. It still took over 30 minutes for us to be seated. This was not ideal, but it could be forgivable, made up for with good food and good service. The service was pleasant, but clearly poorly trained and unprepared. We got an extra sweet tea and were short two coffees. Creamer wasn't brought until 5-7 minutes after the coffee was served. Almost everyone's order was messed up or poorly cooked. It would take a small novel to detail exactly what was wrong on every plate, but a quick overview: The pancakes were GOD AWFUL. They tasted like flour cement and not much else. They apparently don't give you a container of syrup at Cracker Barrel and instead bring you individual bottles of syrup, each one about the size of your thumb. They're made partially with cane syrup, which pales in comparison to maple syrup. You'd need at least 4 to mask the taste of the pancakes and give them adequate moisture, but you're brought two unless you ask for more. Cracker Barrel's biscuits are always mediocre excuses for biscuits, so not much to say there except these were a little burnt. Out of our table of nine, only four people wound up eating what they ordered, and only two of them liked what they were served. I probably got the worst deal, though. What I ordered: Herschel's breakfast, consisting of scrambled eggs, chicken tenders (I wanted lunch but it was only 10:30), and a hash brown casserole. I asked if I could swap grits for fried apples, and the waitress said that was fine. What I got: my (overcooked, cold) scrambled eggs were delivered to another party member, who swapped with me eventually. I was brought grits, which I didn't want, but never got my fried apples OR my hash brown casserole, the two parts of the meal I most wanted. They forgot the meat portion of my meal until 7-10 minutes after it was served to me, and when I finally got it, I was served....ham! As in, a far cry from chicken tenders. I tried to correct my order and reiterated my desires when my eggs were brought (alone on a single place) to the wrong person. I very clearly reminded the waitress what I wanted, but I never got it. By the time she came back, there was no point in trying to correct her again. Ultimately, I paid 9 bucks for a breakfast of over cooked eggs and a burnt biscuit and grits I didn't ask for. I tried a bite of my boyfriend's hash browns and they were cold and soggy, interspersed with great hunks of pepper that induced a coughing fit. This was my third visit to a Cracker Barrel store. I got food poisoning at the first, the service was terrible at the second, and all our orders were wrong and most of our food was bad at the third. Never again, if I have anything to say about it. read more

Harley was literally a gift to our group. I cannot overstate how hospitable and thoughtful she was. If she doesn't have 5 stars yet she needs her fifth.

This review is for take out dinner. We were staying at a neighboring hotel. We looked at the menu on line and called in the order to be "easily" picked up at the registers. The girl repeated the order back on the phone and had everything correct,Arriving the parking lot was packed so had to park next door. Walking through the store it is always fun to see what interesting items are in there. The clerk read back the order and it was missing the beverages. Was able to buy them in bottles from her. The order finally came out and I checked it before driving off. The desserts were missing. The girl could not help....the manager insisted that it was in the hot bag.... ice cream was not in the bag!! He returned with it in a separate bag.... The food was loaded with flavor and cooked exactly as ordered.... opening the ice cream... there was literally 1 tablespoon in the containers. Check your orders if taking to go! read more

Extremely slow service. Thirty minutes at the table before anyone stopped by just to say she'd be back. It was ridiculous to watch them to pretend to clean tables around us. Salt and pepper shakers on the table never once cleaned on the tables we watched. Food was good. Coffee awful. Probably not going back inside. read more

We love the Cracker Barrel. It really doesn't matter what you order on the menu or which Cracker Barrel you are in when you order it, the quality is always there. I ordered a meatloaf and they had run out of meatloaf but the cook prepared one is specially for my wife and I. I was kind of shocked actually and how accommodating they were. read more

This was my first visit to this Cracker Barrel. It's located in Kimball, TN at the end of the Walmart parking lot. It has 3 RV/ Bus parking places for big vehicles and that includes pick up trucks hooked to trailers. Menu items ordered: Cracker Barrel sampler with 3 sides and a sweet tea with lemon. My sampler included country ham, chicken and dumplings, and meat loaf. All 3 items were delicious as they reminded me of mamas cooking which I have really been missing badly. My 3 sides were macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes and brown gravy, and corn. All of this was delicious also. It is the simple truth: Everything is good at any Cracker Barrel. That's why i look for one while traveling. Yes, I will come back to any Cracker Barrel that I have visited in the past including this one. My waitress took care of me most of the time except I did run out of my drink for a few minutes before she checked on me and refilled my sweet tea with lemon. read more

This was by far the WORST cracker barrel experience I've had. The bathrooms were dirty. They were not that busy, but we waited almost 20 minutes to be sat. There were 3 of us. The waitress seemed nice enough. We all 3 ordered haddock meals. It took FOREVER. The food finally arrived and one of the plates was cold. My sides were wrong. She took our plates back to kitchen instead of replacing sides. We waited an additional 10 minutes for replacement meals. By that time our friends meal was cold. Long story short we ate cornbread and ended up with to go food. Manager never came by. The waitress took 10% off. Our bill was still $42 for 3 people who never ate a full meal. We frequent the one in east ridge and never have these kind of issues and they stay packed. We will stay away from Kimball store...boo :( read more

This was my first time visiting a cracker barrel. I was looking for a place to eat a decent breakfast. I tried the breakfast sampler with turkey sausage, country grilled ham, and bacon. It also allowed me to try their buttermilk biscuits, hash brown casserole, grits, and of course eggs (I know CB likes to make things from scratch, but I've still seen processed eggs at other diners and I'm sick of them, so I had to verify). CB definitely has a warmer feel than Denny's/Ihop. It's not surprising I've never seen one in the southwest considering it's southern cuisine. The eggs were definitely made fresh but they got to me a little cold. I realize the sampler breakfast requires many different parts of the plate to come together, but that could've been timed better. The turkey bacon and country grilled ham were just the right amount of salty/fatty for me, although I didn't care for the sausage much. For 10 bucks I sure got a good breakfast, I will return to try the steak and eggs. read more
