Well Folks I am Happy to Post that this Location has Improved since my last few Visits!!!! Indeed, seems like Old Times are back and the Food and Service are greatly Improved. Now as You know I have always loved my Breakfast, but when you forget to add the gravy Come on Man!!!! This trip was actually the Best I have experienced in two years. Our Waiter Finn was on it from Start to Finish. The Food came out fast and delicious. If you haven't been there for a while, please stop by and see for yourself. read more

Traveling through with a few coworkers and we had to see what the hype was about. Wow! I was not expecting such a good meal. The restaurant is super cute, decorated but not in a busy way, lots of things for us to look at while we waited for our food but the food came out so fast we didn't get to look long. The waitstaff was warm and friendly and listened to all my coworkers allergen concerns and questions without missing a beat. The food was amazing, every single thing was clearly fresh and wasn't microwaved or reheated and my steak was cooked to perfection, which isn't always the case these days. I hope we get to come back again on the drive back home! read more

Food was good except the meatloaf which was very dried out. Service was good also and on point. Should have sent the meatloaf back

We were looking for a place to eat that would be a bit of an experience, but also have decent food. Note that we had one vegetarian, one mostly vegetarian, and one omnivore. Who would've thought that Cracker Barrel would've satisfied all three of us. The vegetarian had a impossible sausage Benedict with baked apples and a side of Broccoli. She finished it off and was quite satisfied. The mostly vegetarian had tater tots and a biscuit. The tater tots had cheese and ranch dressing on it. These tater tots were creamy inside, not like the frozen ones you buy at the supermarket. Absolutely delicious. And the omnivore had the normal Benedict with apples and Breakfast casserole. Equally delicious with bacon. Service was friendly, we had lots of questions which were cheerfully answered by the waitress. The only thing was one of us wanted their special fried chicken and they were out so that was sad. This is definitely not a place for someone who wants to eat healthy. Portions are large and fat is king. But for an occasional treat, I highly recommend this place. read more

I had an amazing time. Our waitress, Shanyah, was amazing!! We were a part of 7 and she was so patient with us and so attentive and kind. Her suggestions for food were fire! We had a younger child with us and she made sure she got her coloring and her food in early. She was the best, for sure! I will def come back when one in the area and I hope she's my waitress!! read more

food ass. Hard ass steak and soggy fries. Shrimp ight. Baked potato ight. Services deaf and blind.

Today is Sunday and the special of the day was "Pot Roast ". I had that for my lunch and it was delicious...just like Grandma's home cooked meal. Truly a comfort food. Michelle was our enthusiastic and wonderful server! She was so friendly. Excellent service!!! So if you are looking for true "home cooked comfort foods" Cracker Barrel is the place to go. On your way out you can even shop at their "general store" filled with wonderful gift items! I love their General Store!!! Fun to look at all their inventory! read more

They brought back the Strawberry French Toast! The last server we had was new but somewhat confrontational with us when we pointed out his mistake. read more

I had to leave a review for today! Jeni O was our waitress and she was the sweetest thing ever! So welcoming and warm! She is wonderful and shows she really cares! read more

My wife, her great granddaughter and I dined here Friday night. Our server, Courtney, was great. She attended to us well and offered good dinner recommendations for the great granddaughter. The food was awesome as was the ambiance. We'll definitely return here! read more

Don't bother going. Over the last 2-3 years the food quality keeps going downhill. Was there this week. Biscuits so hard that I was sure a tooth would break. Hash brown casserole was excessively dry and so crispy that I couldn't eat it. Told the waitress about the biscuits and she didn't do a thing. Came home and wrote complaint using their website. Crickets.....haven't heard a thing. Tried to buy a Christmas present and they didn't have the box for the item. I won't be back. read more

What's not to love about Cracker Barrel? This location in particular was up to par with what you would expect from any great Cracker Barrel. The service was friendly, the store was well decorated and well kept, and the food was delicious. We tried the chili for the first time, and I would go back just for more chili! My picky daughter said the chicken and dumplings was the best she had ever had anywhere. The grilled chicken salad was delicious. And of course, everything comes with fresh cornbread and biscuits. If you aren't familiar with this restaurant chain, I would say they are known for their breakfast plates and southern cooking. They also make great roast beef. They have tons of vegetable options, and I love the trout! The store is also fun to explore and you are bound to find some unique items if you are gift-shopping. read more

Absolutely horrible quality. This place hardly ever has decent food. Burnt pancakes this morning. How do you mess up pancakes? lol

I love Cracker Barrel, but I knew I'd regret DoorDashing it. My meal was delivered and half of it was missing. I got the country boy breakfast which is supposed to come with biscuits and gravy, which were not in the bag. The hash brown casserole was the smallest scoop. DoorDash can't take fault for the restaurant not checking their orders. I get mistakes happen but so disappointing read more

We had a party of 16 from our subdivision. Set things up with the GM Chris. The girls up front made it happen. Jocelyn, Dakota & a blonde girl (sorry I forgot her name) took care of us. Setting up & bringing us our food. We all ate at the same time, orders were perfect & food was very good. We appreciate CB taking us without any issues. Most places don't want us because it's a big group. Chris was very accommodating & took us in with open arms. Thank you again. We will be back. Thank you CR in Simpsonville. 7-21-23 read more

Me and a friend went and had dinner a little bit ago and our appetites were ruined due to a waitress divining every single detail into her life and the details were not pg per say. read more

Come on Man we're talking Southern Food to the Max!!!! Breakfast is my Preferred Meal. Yes I even have it at Dinner time!!!! Veggies are unlimited as is the Tea and Cornbread Muffins!!! Now if you have room the Desserts are good too, especially if you add Ice Cream!!!! read more

We came tonight and Marilyn was our server. It seemed like she was having a bad day. Marilyn didn't seem interested in our table whatsoever. It took forever for her to take our drink order and when the food finally came out, my friend found a piece of corn in her green beans. She is allergic to corn, but wasn't able to tell Marilyn because she kept walking away. We found Marilyn to be fresh, inattentive and overall disrespectful. I understand it was late, but if you can't put a smile on your face you shouldn't be serving people. read more

We've been here a few times with my fiance's family and the food is great every time. Service is slow at times, because they're so understaffed, but the food is always good and the servers are always super nice and all smiles. Will definitely be back the next time we're in town visiting. read more

Was excited to see they have southern fried chicken. Mmmmmm. Unfortunately and almost immediately disappointed to find out they didn't have any to serve. Ugh. And now strike two - no meatloaf. Ended up with roast beef and didn't like all the onions. Guess I'll have to wait longer between visits again. read more

Terrible fried chicken. It was so tough and seemed as though it had been sitting around for hours. The chicken fried steak he had was awful too it tasted like cardboard. Not sure why it's always packed. The prices were also high for what you get. Will not be back. read more

I eat at this location often when I'm in the area and I am ALWAYS pleased! I usually get curbside and my order is always brought out promptly. Once the weather was bad and I was going to go in but a waitress came to my car anyway! & Cracker Barrel has the BEST bacon!! read more

Had to walk out due to poor service. First time ever at Cracker Barrel. 2:12pm not rush hour. Ignored. read more

Rachel is so pleasant and efficient. My granddaughter and I always enjoy a great Saturday morning breakfast at "the brown food house" so mommy can sleep in. read more

Our family was very hungry this morning and we decided to come here because we would go here all the time when we were younger, but whenever we walked in we were expecting about a 20 minute wait at the longest but when they told us our wait for 30 minutes we didn't really care but after 1 hour we still didn't have are table so after a few minuets later we finally got our table but we could barely understand our server and it sounded like she had marbles in her mouth and by this time it was lunch..? And then we finally got our order in and it took 1 hour and 30 minutes for our food to come? And it didn't even taste good..? I don't recommend going here.. read more

It appears that management and waitstaff are understaffed and can't properly take care of their patrons. I should have known better, I really should have. It's my birthday weekend and I wanted some pancakes. Needless to say they hit way below the mark. I ordered the grandmas sampler and when it came out with pancakes that were not fluffy or done, bacon that was raw, hard fried eggs when I asked for over medium and country ham that was still also raw. I should have just gotten up and left. But again it's my birthday weekend and my diabetic self wanted pancakes. The manager made no mention at the lack luster appearance of my breakfast when he brought it out nor did he try to fix it. The waiter also didn't try to fix it even when I said something. It'll be along time before I visit a Cracker Barrel again. read more

I just went, and it was awesome! We got seated as soon as we got there, and served as soon as we got seated. The food was delicious! I got my own thing of syrup, and it was the best I have ever tasted in my life! And the atmosphere was great! There were many tables, so despite the large number of people, it didn't feel crowded. This is an awesome restaurant! Definitely consider coming here! read more

We were very disappointed in our lunch earlier today. We ate at your Simpsonville, SC, location and the food was terrible. Worst meal I ever ate at Cracker Barrel. The hamburgers were cold, the broccoli was raw not steamed, and the hash brown casserole was near cold. The grilled chicken tenders were burnt. We were celebrating my brother's birthday so we were extremely disappointed. The biscuits were good and hot and our waiter was the best. Too bad about the food. We wasted about $45.00 on food we could not eat. read more

We were told that the wait would be 20-25 minute wait, it's going on over 45 minutes and we're still waiting. We were told we were the next in line and they've called back 4 other people since us. We're too dedicated to this disaster to leave now. It's okay to be busy, but honesty is important to me read more

Ordered a take out order online. When we got there to pick it up, confirmation in hand, they proceeded to tell us that they couldn't find our order in the system - despite the receipt stapled on the bag with our name on it. They told us that the order wasn't paid for, made us feel like common criminals, before finally letting us go with our food. The food in question was intended for our grandfather at the nursing home, and because of their rude and inconvenient accusations, we were therefore late for our scheduled appointment with our grandfather. Our time is precious and valuable. Cracker Barrel doesn't seem to think so, however. read more

A group of us men meet every Tuesday morning when they open. Our service has always been exceptional. Our server, Beth, makes sure we have coffee and biscuits when we come in. Our food is always delivered hot. This great service enables us to have a great time each week. We will continue to meet here every week. read more

My family spent over $70 on food at Cracker Barrel. While waiting for our food, we decided to browse the store. However, a lady, who seemed like the manager, continuously stared at us through a window. She approached us and asked if we needed help, which is standard, but then proceeded to stand beside my family, pretending to be busy sifting through clothes next to us. She followed us around, repeatedly asking if we needed help, despite our constant refusals. She also yelled at her employees about getting our order out quickly, focusing solely on our order among all the other customers. Finally, after 30 minutes, when we received our food (and had paid for the food beforehand), she went through our food, asked the employee multiple times if we paid and even when the employee said we paid she rechecked the receipt multiple times. The entire interaction was odd and uncomfortable, especially considering my whole family is Black. We simply wanted dinner, but this experience was unsettling and unwelcoming. It's disappointing when what should have been a simple dining experience turns into an uncomfortable encounter. read more

If you are hangry. Thats right hangry. Don't come here on Friday morning before 8 at least. Keep driving to the next cracker barrel. They are poorly staffed and poorly managed. Never saw a single manager helping. Two waitress for over 20 tables. Just a thought maybe you could teach the hostess how to help in dining area. What happened to giving biscuits? Waitress with two pony tails has an attitude. Food average at best. read more

I really like the food and the service. I can't pass up the BlackBerry Pancakes, I love the Sunday Chicken, any of the breakfasts are great. The meatloaf with green beans ×2 is my go to. read more

The food was great. My server "stormy" had the worst attitude and resting bitch face. Maybe she had a rough day but she looked like she hated us from the begging lol. My boss asked for ketchup, she never brought it and when he asked again she said "you asked for ketchup?" with a dumb look on her face. She even repeated It back to him when he asked. I didn't bother asking for anything since it seemed like we were not worth her time. If you get "stormy" as your server ask to be seated in another section. And if you're reading this stormy, sooka la mink! read more

Very bad service. We waited for an hour and no food, no service! Worst brunch experience ever

Go to Cracker Barrel every Friday morning for breakfast. The staff could not be more friendlier and the environment is always clean. Beth has been my waitress a few times and is not only good at what she does but enjoys talking with her patrons. His name escapes me but he's a slim guy who's always approachable even if he's not your server. I should note to other folks who have a pleasant experience here, TIP!!! That's a waitress/waiters way of earning. Their actual pay per hour would floor you if you didn't know already. Ok so today my mom called in for a to go order. The only reason I'm not giving this place a 5 Star is it's to go service is absolutely pathetic. That has nothing to do with the wait staff nor your host/hostess as they all do fabulous work. Today I order biscuits and gravy with three pancakes with whipped cream and peach toppings. As par for the course my to go order wasn't right. Instead of getting three biscuits with gravy I got one biscuit, one cornbread (yuck) with the gravy. Secondly, with my three pancakes, no peach toppings, no whipped cream. The breakfast itself wasn't bad as they provided butter and 3 bottles of syrup, so I was satisfied with that but yet again this Cracker Barrel failed to come through. Lastly, on a separate takeout, I went in to pickup my order and wanted to make sure the Apples and Dumplings I love was prepared correctly. On one occasion the dumplings were like one quarter filled of what they should have been. I simply wanted to make sure it was done properly. Well, this surely didn't sit well with the female Manager whom still works there because I still frequent this restaurant as a walk in customer. After waiting and waiting here she comes with my desert, opens it up and says, "See, that looks like it could feed 2 to 3 people!?!" In hindsight I surely should have said, "Well I'm one person who certainly eats differently than you do." Let me say this as nicely as I can, this female manager came across as a BITCH and that I was wasting her time. Rusty read more

The quality of the food and the service at the chain has degenerated over most of the locations I have been to in the last few years. This one is no different. Prices not in line with spoonful proportions and filthy. read more

Not a place for a "home style" breakfast. Under-cooked eggs, cold biscuits and bacon that could be used as rubber bands. If you ask to have any cold food cooked more or heated up, they microwave it. The servers can't wait to hand your check because it is usually busy on weekends when you have time to go out for breakfast or brunch. read more
