Love this place!! The people that helped us was Jamiya who was such a sweet and happy person, Tammy who was awesome, and Marissa who had a great personality! They were all so sweet and added such a great time to our cracker barrel experience. The food was awesome, I got the fried catfish and it was bomb. The ambience was awesome and fit in ever so perfectly with our experience as well!! Overall I rate our experience a 10/10 would highly recommend!! We are definitely going again!! Thank you cracker barrel read more

Two friends and I visited this Cracker Barrel for dinner while I was in town. I patronize Cracker Barrel somewhat regularly at home, almost always opting for a breakfast dish regardless of the time of day. This Cracker Barrel was smaller than the ones at home in Arizona, but it still got the job done. I ordered Mama's Breakfast, which comes with breakfast meat (I get sausage), eggs, and your choice of pancakes or French toast. My friends ordered fish and a burger. Overall, we were all fairly satisfied with our meals. The service was slower than expected as the restaurant was not very busy, but we weren't in much of a rush. Overall, fine experience. read more

I visited a Cracker Barrel in Tennessee with some college buddies many, many, years ago. It was nice to shop at the country store, wait on the iconic porch rocking in a rocking chair. This week I had the amazing opportunity to take the family to a Cracker Barrel right here in California. The kids could spend hours looking at all the novelties in the country store. The family enjoyed sweet tea and playing the tee peg game while we waited for our lunch. What makes this restaurant especially wonderful is the service, the host and servers provided the sweet southern charm that I experienced in the south! Definitely not an everyday meal, but worth the stop especially if you're on your way to or back from Tahoe! read more

I stopped in on my way to Stockton for a late afternoon early dinner. I ordered the Meatloaf off the Senior menu. The service was prompt and respectful as I have come to know many of the locations on the east coast. The ambiance is consistent across the entire chain. The decorations while not identical are always consistent to their theme. I selected the meatloaf dinner from the senior menu with two sides of steak fries and broccoli accompanied by a biscuit. Boy the cook really nailed this plate. Very very good recipe for their meatloaf. Kudos. read more

I heard that Cracker Barrel is popular on the East Coast, and I wanted to check it out. It's very classic, no frills American breakfast spot with a cozy, nostalgic vibes. They have a gift store with a variety items like hello kitty plushies, stickers, keychains etc in the entrance. Since I'm not a huge breakfast person, I wanted something lighter. I got the turkey sausage with egg whites and grits. The turkey sausage was flavorful and well cooked. This was actually my first time trying grits, for those who haven't had them, it's a bland porridge made from ground dried corn. I appreciated the fresh fruit on the side to finish the meal. The service was efficient, attentive, and very friendly. If you're in the area and looking for a reliable, classic breakfast, this is a great choice. read more

Cracker Barrel Old Coutry Store sells fun and seasonal merchandise as well as serves up good, old-fashioned Southern-style meals with seasonal items/meals. Sure, it's kitschy like a themed amusement park experience: tons of country decor but we've consistently had pretty good meals and good service. Winter brings out Thanksgiving and Christmas decor, entrees, and sides. On our recent visit, we had delightful fried chicken: moist meat, crunchy exterior, and good flavor. Plus, we had a tasty meatloaf! The sides are generally pretty good, too. Our favorites are the fried cinnamon apples, buttermilk biscuits, mac n cheese, dumplins, and cheesy grits. read more

We stopped in with a gift card, gifted by my mom for my hubby's birthday. We started out with a Southern Half & Half and Old-Fashioned Lemonade. I tried a sip of hubby's and it had just the right amount of sweetness, my lemonade was delicious as well! For dinner we ordered the New Big Easy Steak & Shrimp and Hashbrown Casserole Shepherd's Pie. Hubby enjoyed his flavorful filled meal, I tried a bite and loved the steak and mashed potatoes! I didn't think I'd like this casserole as much as I did, but it was smackin'! Tot loved it! Comes with their Hand-Rolled Buttermilk Biscuits and decent Corn Muffins. Cracker Barrel opened in 1969 and focuses on high quality ingredients. They know classic comfort food and their merchandise section has so many fun holiday decor and gifts right now! Even toddler and baby country clothes like an adorable cowgirl hat, boots, mustache, and barbell rattle! I want it all, lol! Great staff that serves you with a smile and location! She gave our tot a magnetic butterfly! We'll be back SYOY! :-) read more

There's only 5 CB in California so I was excited to see this. I left Lake Tahoe early so I could have breakfast here. Unfortunately, this doesn't measure up to the ones in the East or they have gone downhill in the last year. The biscuits which were large, fluffy and buttery are just small rocks with no taste. I could go on but there's better places to try. read more

Come here for the vibes and the nostalgia. The food is edible but I wouldn't say it's amazing. The biscuits are a bit under, the cornbread could use a bit of flavor. The Mac and cheese is decent but not special. I enjoyed the meatloaf more than I expected. Our family only ordered broccoli as the only vegetable and I found them unappealing. The brown gravy is straight up onion powder and salt made into a liquid. Kids meals are also decent, and I'm sure a child would eat their fill. The staff are all incredible patient and hardworking. They have to deal with picky eaters and huge tables. They were attentive, even with several large parties. The decor is fun and old-timey but I definitely wouldn't choose to come here. read more

Love Cracker Barrel!! No surprises, breakfast all day and good comfort food lunch n dinner. This is the only location in Northern Cali and only one down south in Victorville. When in Sacto, always a stop for good food and friendly service...love the Country Store too!! read more

Always a good place to stop at, especially if you need a place to boondock. We went here before the controversy, so I am not sure how the food will change. As it stands now, it is GREAT comfort food, and the service is outstanding. I am hoping the changes will just be cosmetic, with the quality of food staying the same. read more

There were 3 of us on a Saturday visit. Naturally. We all ordered the fried chicken (2 original and 1 Nashville Hot) We enjoyed our meal and the kindness of our server Marissa A. The restaurant was extremely clean, and the store was well stocked with all our favorites. We have only known Cracker Barrel's in Tennessee, but our server Marissa A. Made us feel at home. We look forward to our next visit. read more

Came here 07/05/2025 w family Honestly who made this place only 2.7stars because it should be at least a 4. They just ordering the wrong thing. This store is connected to a small shop where you can do some post munch shopping. Maybe get something cute! We were seated right away, lucky. There is a lot of cute, vintage items to look for on the walls. It can never get old. We all ordered the momma's breakfast pancake ($13.5) which came with bacon and two eggs (you can let the waiter know how you like them done) and three pancakes with whipped butter. They will give you a small bottle of house syrup on the side. Don't be why to ask for more. The pancakes were super buttery, creamy, and DELICIOUS. I couldn't make it past two pancakes, brought it home and it was still good!! what a surprise. I also got the pink lemonade ($3.99). Very refreshing, not too sour. A great combo with the pancakes. But it also pairs wonderfully with any drink! I also heard that the campfire meals are delicious, will try it next time!! Overall, great experience. Just ask the locals!! read more

I know this review is late but yes, I do highly recommend Cracker Barrel. They have something for everybody. For those with a sweet tooth they have a great skillet Cinnamon roll which are individually in the pan. They are very moist and the glaze is the perfect amount of sweetness. If you love barbecue, they make a barbecue where the bone comes out of the meat so tender so decadent . They make a great slaw with just a right amount of sauce. And if you get their peach mimosa you're gonna love it because it is fresh peach purée mixed with champagne. This is a great place for the whole family and. Friends to enjoy time together. Their service is very welcoming and friendly. If you like shopping they have a nice little gift shop for you to look around and buy something. read more

Time for an update! This is the only location left as the Howe ave location closed. I come here about once every other month. We brought our mother here for Mothers day as it is her favorite place. They used to be very good value for your money but now they are like everyone else, $16-18 per entree and that includes breakfast. When they first opened, service was long and atrocious. I will have to say that has improved as I do not remember a bad experience in recent months. What sets them apart is a few items you cannot find anywhere else. Chicken and dumpling. Fried apples. Hashbrown casserole. Then I love the little gift shop attached. One of the few places I don't mind waiting because I love to browse. Some items are pricey but they always have a sale section. read more

Had a combo breakfast hashbrown casserole is good but the pancakes are the best I like the crispy outside edges

This is my mom (age 67) new favorite place to eat. Where you first walk in you go through a cute little store where you can buy knickknacks for seasonal holidays or just for fun. And then you go into the restaurant which has cool decor throughout multiple periods all over the walls. The food is an American style and they have daily specials. Servers are always very friendly. Food I've had so far and what I would rate it: Meatloaf 4/5. Chicken and Dumplings 3/5. Chicken sandwich 5/5. Burger 5/5. Fries 5/5. Steak tips 4/5. Chocolate cake 3.5/5. Mac and cheese 4/5. Cheesy potato casserole 5/5. Mashed potatoes 4/5. read more

We went in at 8pm tonight as first time customers. Our server was amazing. However my husband was served a piece of ham and 2 sausages. All 3 were like shoe leather. Our server said she wouldn't eat it either. She spoke to her Manager Brent who decided to do absolutely nothing. He wouldn't even come to our table. He was beyond void of customer service. Thank goodness for Tammy who was completely understanding, she gave us a discount. The bathroom had no toilet paper as well Very disappointed read more

Claudia was hands down 10/10! She has the best customer service that I have ever had in my entire life. She's fast, kind, thinks ahead, & very attentive. If she doesn't have a raise yet she definitely deserves it. We need more people like her in this world. Thank you! read more

What a nice relaxing place to have some very delicious wholesome stick to your ribs food! My son, brother and I had dinner at this lovely restaurant this evening. We were waited on by a super nice and very friendly waitress. She politely assisted us in getting our drinks and taking our order. The food arrived quickly and was served hot and fresh. Very yummy. My son and I had the chicken strips and my brother had a salad and the turkey soup. The food was so yummy! (Please see pictures below and let your eyes do the feasting) Great place and hope to be back asap! read more

We make a trip from the Bay Area to this Cracker Barrel often. It's always great! We love their food and atmosphere. Log cabin with nostalgia mixed in. The gift shop has the cutest holiday stuff, from Halloween to Christmas. With so many great gifts! And the staff is always so friendly and helpful. It's like going to grandmas kitchen. Wonderful food and heart warming service. I wish we had one closer, but we will always make the drive as it's well worth it. Check out their delicious shepherds pie (savory beef with fluffy mashed potatoes on top). read more

Came across this on our way home from Reno. Got so excited since the last time I had this was in Atlanta back in 2014-ish and boy did it satisfy the cravings! Service was impeccable and the food was always amazing. Our new go to spot whenever we're in the area. read more

The food is great, chicken soup made fresh daily, loaded with chicken, delicious salad, crisp fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and real bacon bits. Trout served with skin attached, biscuits were cold. Unfortunately the restaurant is filthy. My menu was sticky in numerous places and the salt shaker had visible grime, obvious cuz you could see the white salt behind it. The women's bathroom had toilet paper all over the floor and one toilet was full of diarrhea, apparently it doesn't flush. Whatever cleaning they do is not even superficial. I dont want to know what its like in the kitchen read more

The guy who took my order over the phone was an absolute doll and so friendly and professional. The food isn't backing up the level of hard work the people here are doing and it isn't their fault. It's obvious standards for quality have been lowered this year and while I've noticed it getting worse and worse this is my final time eating at this chain. You just cannot tell me that is normal for chicken. I've never seen anything like it. Corporate, I understand you're trying to keep prices cheap, but when you're having to do so at the cost of serving prison grade meat, it's time to do something different. The biscuits also seemed like they were super old. I couldn't even eat this. As far as ambiance, I don't know. It was a takeout order. As far as I remember the place used to look old fashioned but I think they changed that, too. The worst is the food, though. Really cute southern restaurant concept but super gross food. Cannot overestimate how nice and lovely the employees are. Again, this is not on them. They're doing everything right in fact more right than much higher end places I've been to all over the world. read more

I stopped into Cracker Barrel while I was in the area because I've been looking for some old fashion candies. I hadn't been to a Cracker Barrel in quite some time, but it's very similar to what I remember. The parking lot was large and with plenty of spots. It serves Cracker Barrel and other nearby restaurants. I didn't end up dining in the restaurant, but I browsed the store portion and they had Halloween items on sale and plenty of winter holiday items out on the floor. After taking a quick peek at the items available, I focused on the candy area. I ended up grabbing a bunch of old fashioned candy sticks that were 10 for $2 as well as a big bag or Werther's and Butter Rum lifesavers. The staff there was really friendly and helped me find prices on a couple items before helping me check out. I thought the variety of items was great and the pricing was great too. read more

We have dinner there usually once every other week. Pros: Dawn the server. She's fantastic and very attentive. 5 star service! Campfire beef dinner is always yummy. Wish it was offered year round. Fried chicken dinner is always good too! Only served weekends though Gift shop has something for every one. Great holiday decor, but it sells fast, so if you see it, don't wait to buy it as it may be gone. Cons: Fried chicken dinner only offered on Saturday and Sunday. Chicken pot pie removed from menu Sometimes the host/ hostess is also the cashier, so it may take awhile to be seated. read more

Don't believe the elite reviewers. There is absolutely 100% no way the restaurant at this quality level should be ever given a five star review. When you see these elite reviewers giving them four stars and five stars you know what's going on. Went here with my wife the other day for the first time ever. We have never ever tried eating at this place in our whole life. We walked in the door and the main host sat somebody down and then disappeared for over 10 minutes while we were just standing there after he already saw us. We looked into the main restaurant area and just saw him standing there, looking around for minutes . Finally, after more than 10 minutes of us, just standing there without even getting a welcome, he sat down at a table in Dominic's area . We sat down for almost 15 minutes and watch the waiters and waitresses go round. Not once within 15 minutes, did we ever speak to that waiter in our area or any waiter for that matter. Nobody greeted at us. Nobody asked us for drinks. Nothing, Nada. We basically get up to walk out and the other waitresses look at us and say nothing to us. My wife goes out to the car and I stay in the retail store because I wanna talk to somebody about the situation seeing this. This is our first time ever there. We waited another 10 minutes for somebody to get to that counter and then the guy just ignored me. Needless to say, we will never ever ever ever go back to this place or any of them Their hospitality is on mark with their wokeness now. It's unwanted. It's cold and they have no manners. They don't appreciate their customers. Just outrageous We seriously do not recommend anybody going here especially with the CEO that they have now. If you go here and patronize this place, you're supporting the way that they treated us and you're supporting the CEOs direction as well and what she's all about. read more

It was my very first time coming here . Theres plenty of parking outside . The hostess was nice and she sat us down . Our waitress was sweet , I saw most people waiting a bit for their food , but we did wait a bit for our food but it seemed that our waitress had a bad leg, so we understood and were patient about it . But she still attended us very well. The food was fine . It is comfort food for sure . The decor was neat ! It was cool they had a store there too . I also like the outside of the restaurant to play some checkers. I ordered the grilled chicken tenders and it was very juicy and had flavor , with the plate I order it came with two sides I chose the cheese potato casserole and grits. That seemed okay . We also order the pot roast came with mashed potatoes that was always was good . The chicken noodle soup was very salty though. Overall it was a neat experience. It is a bit far from where I come from but was nice to finally make it out there . read more

Look, I don't usually wax poetic about chain restaurants, but Cracker Barrel isn't just a restaurant. It's a warm hug wrapped in sawmill gravy. I ordered the Grandma's Sampler--minus the "sampler" bit, as I went full-bacon, no regrets--and, as usual, *chef's kiss*. The eggs were scrambled to fluffy perfection. The pancakes were sporting that impossibly thin, golden edge of crispiness that should honestly be illegal because it's so delicious. The bacon was the kind of salty joy that makes you briefly consider writing a will just so you can list this meal under "final wishes." And the hashbrown casserole deserves its own legal protection under California heritage law. Everything came out piping hot and on time, which, frankly, as an attorney, is more than I can say for most court filings I see. Service was friendly without being overbearing--no excessive chit-chat, no "So what brings you in today?" Just good old-fashioned attentiveness and drink refills that seemed almost clairvoyant. The gift shop, of course, remains an enigma: equal parts candy store, toy store, Civil War museum, and your grandmother's attic. I walked out with a jar of apple butter and a mild existential crisis. All in all, Cracker Barrel Rocklin (or really almost any Cracker Barrel) remains--at least for me--the undisputed champion of breakfast, brunch, or "Brinner" (i.e., breakfast for dinner) and gravy-based decision making. I come here regularly and will be back many more times. read more

Madison delivered exceptional five-star service during our visit to Cracker Barrel. From the moment we were seated, she was attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. She kept our drinks refilled, checked in at the right times without being intrusive, and made sure every detail of our order was correct. What stood out most was her positive attitude and efficiency--even during what seemed like a busy shift, she stayed composed and friendly. It's clear she takes pride in her work and values the customer experience. read more

Best Family spot! Homey and Good Food. Great service too! A staple for any family :)

Only their Southern fried chicken doesn't hurt my soft stomach. Amazingly their southern fried chicken or home style chicken is never soggy or oily. Absolutely loved the honey butter southern fried chicken. It is a true delicacy. The toasted English Muffins came soaked in honey butter the combination was orgasmic. The dumplins have remained my absolute fav side dish thru the years. The seasoned rice was extra special as a side. Thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere with kind service right from cashier to receptionist to my waiter Margarita and the manger himself. Chic ambiance yet homely southern feel, which I find it to be inviting and nourishing to the soul. Love all the products in the gift store to treat oneself and entertain oneself. A special shout out to Mocha as they manage to out the right amount of chocolate powder without overpowering the coffee taste. As I said it is a place for body mind and soul. They always give me a good experience with ultra good food. read more

Not French chic restaurant but a great comfort food restaurant with a fun store attached. Their specialty biscuits were so light and good. As were their cinnamon rolls. Service was fast and staff were all very friendly. The store there is fun in that it has a lot of unique memorability merchandise as well as current day merchandise. I will definitely return. Only down side is there is not one located near me. read more

The meatloaf was a salty , corn had no flavor whatsoever. The waiters hardly came over to check on how ever was.

I ordered food to be delivered from Cracker Barrel. I received a confirmation number and an email. My food never arrived but I was charged. I called the store and the manager acted as if he could not care less. He told me a third party picks up the food and they don't track it. Yet, I ordered it on the Cracker Barrel app which is their own website. He refused to refund my money. I even gave him the order number sent to be from the Cracker Barrel site. First he said it had been picked up; next he said it wasn't in their online orders. I made him check the number again. He found it. Then he said it should be here soon. I never received the order and he refused to refund my money! This is outrageous!! Don't patronize Cracker Barrel!! read more

Finally was in the area and decided to try out Cracker Barrel. Came during off hours so it was pretty dead which I didn't mind. Ordered the Cajun shrimp plate which came with a garlic bread and it was so good. Also ordered their onion petals which were yummy as well it did come last since the waiter forgot but didn't mind. I also got the steak plate with mash and Mac and cheese and it was good and well seasoned the steak. Their biscuit so so gooooood, I never eat biscuits from restaurants but this one I tried it and loved it! Got the soup of the day which was basically pot roast with noodles and that was yummy as well, very homey. Also ordered their Coca Cola chocolate cake and it was so moist and yummy! The chocolate syrup was a little too sweet for me but that is just my taste buds. Also got the Cinnabon pie slice and that was delicious as well! Can't wait to stop here again whenever I pass by! Servers were great as well. read more

We came in on a Tuesday at 2pm. It has been forever since we have been to a Cracker Barrel and never been to one in California. As soon as we walked in we were welcomed by several associates. The restaurant has the same unique decor as usual. Our server (Ruby) was friendly and gave us nice suggestions. We ordered the three item classic sampler with mash potatoes and fried okra, chicken fried turkey with hash brown casserole and fried okra, and a pitcher of peach mimosa (never seen this item before!) The mimosa pitcher was smaller than I expected (but still enough for two) Mash potatoes good but cold, chicken dumplings cold, meatloaf kind of dried out on the edges, fried turkey -nicely crisp and hot, okra fantastic. Biscuits served with butter and apple butter - as good as I remember:) We are glad we finally tried them out again. Our memories of how good they are out of state are still there. read more
