I haven't been to a Cracker Barrel in years. I honestly had completely forgotten about them. I was craving cozy comfort food on a cold rainy night. Someone suggested Cracker Barrel and we went for it. I am so glad we did! We were seated right away, served drinks quickly, and our waitress was attentive and friendly. Our food came out so fast and was delicious! I would definitely go back when craving a comfort meal. read more

This location catered my daughter's wedding last weekend. It was wonderful! The general manager. Kathleen, went above and beyond. Exceptional customer service and everything was delicious! read more

Stopped here today. Staff were very welcoming and we were seated quickly. Waitress was very friendly and helpful. Our orders came quickly and the food was actually better than we had received before. Excellent experience on 11/7/25. Thank you folks at this location. Other Cracker Barrel locations would do well to learn from the staff here. read more

I got here after 9pm and was on my way well before 6am so there was no opportunity to eat a meal this time. Cracker Barrel supports the RV lifestyle by allowing RVers to use their parking lots with the polite request (but not requirement) that we purchase a meal. I didn't on this particular stop but did later on my journey. Clean parking lot, reasonably quiet considering that it's close to major roads. But this late at night and it was good enough! Thanks, CB! [Review 646 of 2024 - 338 in Missouri - 21677 overall] read more

About 20 minutes after we ordered were told we would have to wait 20 more minutes for meatloaf that four of our nine people had ordered, or they could all reorder. We decided to have them bring everything else and bring meatloaf when done. Ten to fifteen minutes later part of food came out. It was all lukewarm to cold. Thirty minutes after we were told twenty minutes on the meatloaf we asked to speak to manager. She came to the table with an attitude, and no apologies. She was also the one that had told us twenty minutes originally. She ended up taking the meals off that were missing and had the waitress bring the missing meatloaf to go. Will not be back because of her attitude. Things happen but it's about how you handle them. read more

Heavens Kitchen, southern food at its best. Let me tell you the biscuits and cornbread were just scrumptious. I ate here two days straight chicken fried steak dinner and the boneless chicken dinner both were so so good. My waitress the first time was so charming. And that southern Missouri drawl when that lady spoke it heavenly. read more

40 minutes to get biscuits, salad, and a cheeseburger, and it's only 49minutes bc I had to stop our waitress Kara on her tracks and ask about our biscuits. The House salad was a total let down, bacon is cold and uncooked, the greens cucumber and cherry tomatoes were fresh but the Buttermilk ranch was tasteless and it had texture from being frozen thawed out and then mixed back in no flavor. Like how can anyone mess up a salad right? So I definitely didn't eat my salad (still paid for it but will never eat here again). The cheese burger was just ok, the bun was dried out, tomatoes were old too and we only ate bc we were starving. Waitress was not attentive but I still gave her a 15% tip. Store is charming and they have great selection on gift items and ambiance is homey, but we will never eat here again. read more

This used to be one of our favorite places. However, our visit yesterday changed that. Order was wrong, service was slow and food quality was no where near as good as it used to be. It wasn't as clean as we remember as well. We won't be going back. read more

After a disappointing experience in Kansas City that made my fiancé and I never want to try Cracker Barrel again (we were seated and then no one served us for 20 minutes, not even drink orders), we were in Springfield for a day trip and drove by. We remembered what we wanted to order that day in Kansas City and then decided to give CB a second chance. I went to this CB several times in the late 2010s and prayed the service was still good because I didn't have it in my heart to be disappointed by CB again. We were immediately seated and greeted by the best, kindest, most genuine server we have seen in years and years. She was so nice while at the same not being too invasive with our lives. She checked in on us several times and I really felt like she took care of us! The chicken was great but we both admitted it could be a bit more crispy. The mashed potatoes and gravy were great. It was unfortunate I got full too fast. read more

'Guess this is my last trip to cracker barrel. 'Right away noticed new menu's since last time. Pretty much always means prices have changed (gone up). This was not an exception. Price have gone up considerably. While portion sizes have gone down. Apparently, that new ceo was pissed off when she didn't get her way to go "woke" Here's the deal; go as "woke" as you want. You can raise prices. Or you can reduce portions. You can't do both and keep me as a customer. The food we got was good (not exceptional. Good). But they were very careful not to give us too much. My wife had to ask for condiments that normally come with what she ordered. There was no question. No suggestion. Nothing. Some wouldn't even know that you could get condiments. The reason it didn't automatically come with the meal according to the waitress, was they were wasted before. But she could still ask, couldn't she? Next was a member of the staff that was coming through moving chairs and sweeping while INTENTIONALLY making as much noise as humanly possible doing it. I've heard cars crashing, that made less noise and craeted less of a disturbance. Several customers got up and left. 'Didn't appear that they were done with their meal. But they left anyway. My wife and I were about to do the same. But apparently he finished before we decided to leave. He was obviously upset about having to clean the area and straighten chairs and tables. Which brings me to my next issue. These are typically clean restaurants. This one, not so much. I would be hard pressed to guess when the windows were last cleaned. I know "windows" seems nit-picky. But these are difficult to look through without losing your appetite. There's dirt and spider webs on the outside and (probably kids') finger prints on the inside. read more

Had a horrible dinner tonight it was my second wedding anniversary it started out great I ordered an orange mimosa she brought me back peach I went ahead and drank it then I ordered my rare steak we waited at least 45 minutes for the steak it was medium at best. Nancy our waitress was very kind , she could she made sure that we got another steak and that my husband's dinner was re-cooked so that we could eat our anniversary dinner together still all in all I feel like they made me feel like I was throwing a fit, the manager finally brought me out a rare steak full of gristle I should have guessed that they wouldn't have gave me a good steak after I complained about the first one regardless it wasn't even busy in there . Next year we're going to Lambert's the quality of everything is just so much better ,and so is the staff to be honest. read more

wait staf was fantastic. Food is alwase good at all the cracker barrel locations. However we were in a 36 ft rv towing a car and all the rv spots were taken up with cars and there were plenty of other places for car. We were able to park across about 10 to 15 car spots since the rv spots were all taken. read more

We just left this cute, country.restaurant on a busy Saturday night. The food was down-home delicious. Three at our table ordered meatloaf, a meal I soon realized that I cannot do at home nearly as well. For the undecided diner among us the combo with beef chicken and shrimp was a hit. The service provided by Vonte was wonderful. We did not expect to eat and run, but still we really appreciated the online waitlist option. Overall our meal did take an hour and 15 minutes. and it was a very pleasant experience. read more

Came here on Sept 13 with a group of 16 for a family members Birthday dinner. We encountered an issue with a family member that has a latex allergy. She asked management to see the gloves used in the food prep area the manager Mike refused. We asked our servers if they could just take a picture of the box so she can read it. They went to their manager Mike again. He came back out still refusing to even take a picture just so she can read it herself. When the food came out some plates were cold, some plates the gravy was burnt. Others was just okay. We have been to this location and this was by far our worst experience with staff and food. Because of them refusing to let her read the box of gloves her and her husband did not eat. On our way to the register she stopped and spoke with a female manager named Marcy. She was very nice and stated there was no reason for Mike to act like that. It wasn't an issue to let her read the back of the box of gloves. By mike doing this they have lost the business of 5 people for life. If you have allergies of any type I would completely avoid this restaurant. They are unwilling to meet your needs. read more

Cracker Barrel's is always good however if you order your dinner, lunch, or breakfast through door dash you never get eating utensils. So apparently Cracker Barrel expects you to eat with your fingers. Other than that it's a great place to eat. read more

I got the pot roast shepherd's pie with the hash brown crust. We got it on our grub hub order and I thought it was one of the best dishes I had ever eaten. The food arrived warm and everything was excellent but the pot roast pie was outstanding! We are Senior citizens who are both recovering from hospital stays. We needed something nutritious that was quality food. We wanted something that was comforting and satisfying. Our Cracker Barrel order took care of both requirements. My husband ordered pinto beans with a side of cheese grits. He was also well pleased. Thank you Cracker Barrel for an excellent meal!! read more

I'm only giving 3 stars because they comped our meal, and the waitress was very nice. Waited an hour and twenty minutes for our meal!! Only a party of 6 and it wasn't packed. Everyone around us got their food and they arrived way after us!! Food arrived and it was cold, okra was hard as a rock, and the food was okay at best. I don't plan on coming back here. It was my first and last visit. read more

Waited 10 minutes to be seated Server was ok but didn't care Food was fine I had the chicken and dumplings and the fried apples husband had pot pie he enjoyed my dinner was good read more

As busy as this place was we were pleasantly surprised at how quickly they seated us. The waitress seemed a bit distracted but we will chalk it up to how many tables she had. Our order was complex but everything came out correct and the food was wonderful. We all commented on the speed at which we were able to pay our tab at the counter and leave. read more

The good: The food was good, the place was clean. The not so good: The wait was supposed to be 5-10 minutes so we stood by the hostess station. At 15 minutes a couple walked up and the hostess indicated she would seat them. Wait, what? She obviously forgot us... after writing our name down. At 50 minutes we finally got our food but there was no silverware on the table.... There was also no jelly. I understand short staffed but that was not the case here... take a pass on this location. read more

I love this place. Food is fire. Waitstaff always nice. Ambiance top notch. You wouldn't think it, but it's a great spot for a vegetarian!! Crackalackin' read more

I sent a friend a Cracker Barrel gift card for her 80th birthday in October 2023. She tried to use it at the Cracker Barrel in Springfield MO where she lives. They refused to honor it and multiple calls, emails, and discussions with one of the managers at the restaurant have failed to resolve the issue. This should not happen and customer service is unresponsive. Do not buy gift cards from Cracker Barrel! read more

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - Gift Card NOT Honored - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Still a spot for decent gifts and treats, but I'm really questioning the quality of the kitchen now. Even a simple breakfast seems lifeless now, and as always the case with Cracker Barrel, omelets are apparently a foreign term here., despite the menu offering of 'eggs made to order'. Free the cooks and introduce them to 2022, please. Wait staff and bussers are still quite courteous, a usual staple of this franchise, and the facility seems well-maintained. read more

No food after waiting more than an hour...Not even biscuits. I'm about to give up and go somewhere else. Worst experience I've ever had at a Cracker Barrel. Update...Finally got our food after 1-1/2 hours of waiting. read more

The breakfast food is very good. Service is very good too. A bit noisy with chatter but that's what comes with the open dining plan. The gift shops are always fun for the ladies. Overall a nice occasional or road stop detour. read more

Extremely horrible service, took over a hour just to get our food, forgot a whole meal, and offered literally nothing after all the mistakes they made. Definitely would not recommend. read more

Was really busy on a Sunday afternoon. We were seated shortly after we arrived. The service was typical for any restaurant when busy. The waitress was nice enough but all she really did was take out order and deliver our food. I have had much better service at a Cracker Barrel. As for the food it is one restaurant that is usually very consistent. One of those places you can go anywhere and get the same quality meal. read more

We went as a group of 6 a Saturday morning. It took forever for us to get our order. We were there like almost 2 hours. Couldnt get refills. Food was cold. Spoke with the manager who really didn't care. Sent a email to corporate and they never got back to me. And the bill was $30. Wouldn't recommend read more

I don't usually get too enthusiastic about Cracker Barrel but the food and service was just spot on today. We're just passing through Mo. on our way to Oklahoma and stopped for breakfast. Both hubby and I got the Smokehouse breakfast and daughter got biscuits and gravy. Our waitress heard my daughter say she didn't want breakfast meat with her meal (it comes with it) so I asked my daughter if I could have hers and when meals arrived, the bacon was already on my plate! Our waitress gave my husband an order of biscuits and gravy which we didn't think came with the meal ordered but it was a delightful surprise. Coffee was quick to be refilled and our waitress checked on us several times so we never had to wait for anything. My over easy eggs were perfect as were the grits I drowned in butter and maple syrup. Probably the best cooked bacon I've ever had at a Cracker Barrel and the sausage patties that were part of my meal were perfectly cooked. I would definitely stop here again on the way back home to Indiana. It was just the perfect dining experience after eight hours on the road. read more

I called in early for my order, could someone tell me why I'm still waiting 30 minutes past the time they said it would be ready. Very chaotic atmosphere today, it maybe a while that we order from here again. My wife is sick and the delay could not be worser timing. And to top it off I'm practically being ignored, no one is tell me anything. I think my order may finally be ready, but waiter person is busy, while my food is getting cold. read more

The restaurant for breakfast was very slow, good for coffee but food took about 20+ minutes to come after ordering. No hash browns available for breakfast and the butter for toast was almost frozen. I would not bother for breakfast next time. read more

Always good, always great service. Excellent locations near the highways. Never been disappointed there

I called them to ask if they had a Buffett because someone told me they did. A lady answered and was super rude and short with me. Didn't say bye or anything at the end of the call. I'm sorry but that makes me not want to eat somewhere. All you need is human decency and you'll get pretty far. This girl doesn't have any. I didn't get a name though. read more
