Thanksgiving day review. Staff was awesome,friendly, and upbeat. The Thanksgiving menu was shortened from the regular menu, but still had a good number of options. Everything was great, and the staff worked together to keep things flowing. read more

I spoke with two managers about this then a corporate representative called me to hear about what happened to me her manager she failed to tell her they had a broken dishwasher and it had to be serviced three times in those past three weeks. They knew that they had a problem and did nothing. I recently found out that all was a lie the real reason I got sick was they gave had a water line issue and our friends grandson had been working on their terrible waterline problems. This is most certainly a health concern for the general public and I am so sick it's been awful so awful I couldn't leave the house awful they're like go to the er I told them I was hugging my bathroom. Anyways I'm slowly moving forward I still get sick every week I end up in the bathroom I'm not sure what that soapy tasting water was I don't know but from now on I'm only drinking bottled water. Shame on Cracker Barrel and shame on trying to buy me off with a stupid gift card I said I didn't want they emailed it to me anyway. I do not recommend this establishment I just can't read more

I was craving some good homemade-style food, so I gave this a try. Had it delivered and it arrived warm, which I appreciated. The turkey was juicy and the gravy hit the spot. The dressing was decent -- not bad, just not the best I've had. The pinto beans, though, were bland and really needed some seasoning. But those cornbread muffins? Soft, flavorful, and honestly stole the show. They tasted just like something grandma would've pulled out of the oven. read more

The food was cold and tasted like it had been sitting out for hours. It also seemed to take forever for our food to arrive. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing as well. Overall, it was not a good dining experience, and we will not return. read more

Excellent service. Didn't have to wait to be seated. The food was very good. The manager went from table to table checking on guest satisfaction. Peach tea was refreshing. My chicken fried chicken was very juicy. My beans and Mac in cheese were delicious. The bacon was crisp. The cornbread and biscuits were delicious. Hashbrowns are amazing. Great brunch. read more

Grandma's sampler breakfast was very good. We had a great server. It was quite full of people. I'd prefer to return when it's not packed.

My Fiance and I decided to go to Cracker Barrel today after it made headlines for the CEO trying to shake things up. Luckily, Cracker Barrel decided to stay the same. We loved the character and atmosphere, which really felt true to Southern Americana. The small store was also very interesting with an eclectic blend of random knick knacks. The menu offers plenty of options, mostly comfort food. I'm giving 4 stars because the service could have been slightly better and the food tasted somewhat bland. Overall though, the price was very good for the amount of food we ordered. read more

Maddox, aka the rock, is a great server, he needs to be promoted to CEO right now. Have great suggestions and his hospitality was perfect. 10/10 would recommend :) read more

First off the store was a fun environment lots of oddities and treats. As for breakfast our server was very kind, prompt and attentive. The food is where the visit lacked luster. The lack of normal breakfast sides ie; regular hash browns, bacon, ham or sausage with out charge was frustrating. And the very slim toast options was sad. The chicken fried steak was good but run of the mill. And I was not a fan of the stuffed hash browns. Might opt to choose some where else for breakfast. But might still come visit the store for treats. read more

Had a great meal cooked perfect, chicken tenders, green beans, macaroni and cheese. We had a great server named Katie.

Our wait was short, long enough to shop around a few minutes before seating. Normal CB decor. Our waitress was patient and on top of our needs despite multiple tables. Food was good. Biscuits were fluffy and flavorful, eggs and bacon great. Add the hashbrown casserole and you're golden! read more

We recently had a very bad experience at a Longview TX Cracker Barrel. Cracker Barrel sent me an online complimentary meal for two. so we decided to try the Tyler/Lindale store since we were in that area. It was like the difference between daylight and darkness. Whereas it took 45 minutes to get a cold meal in Longview TX, it only took 15 minutes to get a hot meal at the Tyler/Lindale one. I still don't think I can bring myself to return to the Longview TX one even though it's much closer to where we live. read more

Food was bad really unbelievable I have always loved these restaurants but since i was at a Cracker Barrel the food has changed. Not even real country fried steak anymore. Soy Pattie. Steak my dgt got and grandson got was tough. I will never go back to Cracker Barrel again. Lost a customer. read more

Food is always good, but my head hurts from how loud the dining area was! Why oh why doesn't Cracker Barrel install sound absorbing material in the ceiling? Hubby checked noise level with a decibel meter, and it was at 99.5 !!!!! That level shouldn't be exposed to for more than 15 minutes or you risk hearing damage! read more

Manuel was our server today. They were so busy due to not only Sunday it was also Memorial Day weekend. He was excellent. I hope they know what an asset he is to their restaurant. Kudos to him!! We didn't have to ask for anything he was on top of it. The food was very good. read more

Worst ever. Waiter maliciously ignored to a point we had to get manager involved. Walked by our table 3 times and would not take our order. Still can't figured how we may have offended him. Have not been at this store in a while. Was really looking forward to a great breakfast experience. So disappointed. Manager was responsive and caring but never should have gotten to that point. Probably will not go back . And definitely would not recommend read more

Terrible service. We waited over 80 minutes to get seated, and nothing! We would see other large parties go ahead of us, and when we asked about our party, they would lie about how many people were ahead of us and place other parties ahead. We ended up leaving the restaurant only to get a notification 20 minutes later that our table was ready!! Outrageous! read more

Tried their biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were undercooked and doughy and the gravy was tasteless. This is the South - should know how to make biscuits and gravy. My wife had the chicken tenders and they were delicious. The service was greAt. read more

Do not get the steak and eggs. Almost as much inedible as edible. Too much $ for only half a meal. read more

I have eaten at Cracker Barrel's at least 50 times. I have eaten at multiple different stores and its usually really good and with normally good service. But today at the Tyler Tx store we ( 5 people) waited 45 minutes for food to arrive , some cold with no refills on drinks until we were finished eating. Also this was the first time EVER that the restrooms were dirty and lacked toiletries read more

So now that Cracker Barrel has decided to cut their own throat with "updating" logo, stripping Americana Wall Art, and what has become substandard food, I can safely state, BYE! Don't pretend it's not about woke, when it IS. They just alienated one of the most loyal customer base in numbers you can't imagine. Was a slice, but I'm OUT. Other restaurants I plan to eat at in the future. From someone who doesn't go back on their morals and values. Luck y'all, you'll need it. read more

I come here frequently. This time my server's name was Jackie 3 star. Not happy about her attitude when I asked to see the new chicken and rice on the menu. Not sure what she had against me but after she got done dealing with me I felt like a second class citizen. I will ask for a new waitress next time!! I am guessing that she is Texan and I am from Ohio. Must be a culture issue. We let people finish their sentence BEFORE asking us to clarify our requirements. I felt pretty put out. read more

Attentive service. Very good lunch turkey and dressing, cranberry sauce, roasted turkey breast, rolls and cornbread. This meal was getting me getting me ready for last Thursday in November. Will stop on the way back to NRH, Tx. and enjoy one of their breakfast meals. read more

We just arrived at Cracker Barrel in Lindale, Tx at 12 noon. It took a long time to get our order finalized because we were told twice that items we wanted from the menu were not available. One item they didn't have was the chicken fried steak, which is listed as one of their featured items. We have noticed the food here has been declining over time and their menu is very limited. read more

Cracker Barrel is always good quality, nice staff, and the shopping before you eat is a great time to pass the time. The pancake mix and the pancake syrup are the best tasting and we always buy the mix and syrup to take home read more

We were quoted 20 minutes when we arrived but it was about 35 minutes. Our waitress was Jackie. All of the wait staff are very harried taking orders and delivering food. We ordered and than 2 of us drank our beverages waiting for the food. When the food came we asked for refills. 10 minutes later we asked another staff member for a refill. I was done eating and my husband was almost done when we finally received a refill. Jackie never checked back on us until it was time to order dessert. We ordered the following: Watermelon lemonade - pretty good Sweet Tea - good Chicken and dumplings - average Chicken fried steak - average Cornbread - awful, dry and tasteless Hashbrown casserole - very good, but 2 clumps of solid pepper Mac and cheese - very good Coca Cola cake ala mode - excellent Strawberry lemon icebox pie - it was ok but served almost frozen, it would have better better at fridge temp At checkout I asked to have the tea and lemonade charges removed since we had refill trouble. The manger agreed but the cashier only removed the sweet tea. It wasn't worth going back in to correct that. I have never asked for that before but those two bites of all pepper in the hashbrowns really needed a beverage. Not recommended. read more

I began to feel uncomfortable, the moment that the hostess (Rhonda) seated me. It was a Wednesday morning, after 9:00 when I arrived. The restaurant was about half full. For some reason, the hostess decided to completely isolate from the rest of the customers. There were plenty of seats in the dining room, but she seats me across the main aisle from the dining room in a corner alone (next to the kitchen). This was a little cubby hole that most restaurants use for storage. I politely changed my seat to the dining room with the rest of the customers and informed the waitress. I sat and watched the hostess escort other patrons to their tables and never once did she offer that table to anyone else. Approximately, 10-12 individuals & groups came in during the time that I was there. Why did she do that? I was the only person of my race at the restaurant during that time. I hope that it was the reason for the isolation. Just weird! read more

You aren't even trying. Way over cooked chicken strips - like eating a piece of pulp wood. Dry dumplings with no juice.

Had Thanksgiving dinner at Cracker Barrel in Tyler Tx. Great food and fantastic server. She made us feel like we were in her home!

Jackie is outstanding in serving us. As many as eight of us have breakfast at the same table every Monday and Jackie takes great care of us. David Stubblefield read more

It's really 1 star for food . 3 out of the 4 ppl w/ me felt weird after we ate there. But 2 of us got SICK pretty much food poisoned 20-30 min after we ate there. We both got flushed, stomach discomfort & we're nausea for a good 24hrs. Very disappointed. But 5 stars for staff & environment of the location. Staff was nice & store part was very nice. Chefs need to be trained to handle & or cook food properly. Sadly I will not return again & this was my first there. read more

Excellent place, location and staff. It was very clean and fully stocked. The wait staff was very attentive and the order has been correct every time. The roaring fire was great and the rest rooms were clean. Need a gift? They got it. The lady on the floor is very helpful. Right off the freeway. read more

This is your typical Cracker Barrel . It ain't fine dining but is ain't fine dining prices either. Good solid diner food at a normal price. Good size portions with friendly service and hey, you can get your Christmas shopping in before or after your meal. What's not to like about that combo? read more

Waited an hour for our food to come out on my moms bday. Luke warm mashed potatoes, crunchy stale hash brown casserole, and no refills in the 1 1/2 hours we were here. 0/5 stars if I could. read more

If you are not in the mood to cook, but are in the mood for home cooking, look no further than Cracker Barrel. We visited the location in Lindale, TX and were helped by our efficient server, Cesar. He did a wonderful job. We all ordered the same item, the trout, and it was prepared excellently and so fast! I chose the dinner full portion with two filets and two sides. For my sides I chose the mac and cheese and green beans. The iced tea was refreshing and tasted like it brewed fresh daily if not several times a day. I couldn't believe how fast the food came out. I think maybe 5 minutes? Plus, you really can't beat the value. I think the 3 of us ate for less than 30 dollars. I look forward to coming back and trying some other options as the menu has plenty of variety for your curious palate. All in all, a very positive experience. read more
