We ordered (2) Mama's Pancake breakfasts for takeout today. We typically enjoy the pancakes and since our order has 3 pancakes each, they only gave us one syrup even after requesting an extra one. The scramble eggs turned out right, but the smoked sausage patties were barely cooked and raw in the middle! That's not acceptable! Since this was takeout, we recooked the patties at home because undercooked pork can make you sick. Positive note... I did find a nice little summer dress in the country store and was able to use our reward points towards the purchase. read more

This CB location has consistently been a good place to grab breakfast in Wilson. It's my sister's favorite. The food is served hot, orders are accurate, staff is friendly and the prices reasonable. Even though they can get pretty busy at times, we are always seated and served promptly. read more

The Cracker Barrel was convenient to where I was staying in Wilson so I stopped for dinner. My waiter David was fantastic and I have no complaints with the service. The host was friendly as well. If I had ordered something different the meal may have been better. I did enjoy the sides. The fries were nice steak fries and the apples were good too. The steak tips were a cut up steak so not what I was expecting as steak tips are normally tender and prepared differently. I would have been ok with the cut up steak but after two bites it was just too chewy for me. The whole meal was $9.99 so it was a good deal for the entree and two sides. I wouldn't order the steak tips again. read more

Service was horrible; like watching monkeys @the Zoo.. the drinks were horrible.. how do you mess up a Bloody Mary?? Ambiance ; non existent; & it needs a thorough cleaning.. it smells like grease.. read more

We went in 40 minutes before closing (I know, I know!) when we walked in the workers at the toy store (front register) greeted us and let a hostess know we were here. The waitress was friendly and attentive. The food was good. I ordered the sampler (meatloaf and chicken dumplings and sides) the meatloaf was cold but that was ok with me bc I like it better the next day. The rest of my food was great! My daughter got chicken tenders and fries and they were good, my ex got pot roast and that was amazing! If I could create a new sampler with some pot roast, meatloaf and chicken and dumplings I'd be sold! I don't even like meatloaf but love Cracker Barrels meatloaf. Waitress was attentive and we didn't feel rushed even though I kinda rushed us along bc I knew it was close to closing time. read more

Thank you! Mecca my server you were amazing. The staff is extremely diverse and polite. What they didn't know is I am an active duty service member relocating to my new base taking 95 north. I had a taste for some crispy pancakes today so 20 minutes ago I stopped at the Smithfield location. I was disrespected and treated EXTREMELY poorly at that location and left. While still north bound on 95 I saw this location and decided to give the franchise another try. Walking in the diversity of the staff stood out. I was seat at a much better table and my waitress wasted no time bringing me a drink k and taking my order. She had no idea how I was treated at the same franchise right down the road. She was genuinely kind and had hospitality. Thank you so much for hanging my perception of the business and treated a customer how they deserve to be treated. Much better location with amazing staff. The ambiance when you walk it just felt different. The energy was much better. read more

After a long drive, my group stopped in for breakfast about 15 minutes after opening. Despite the restaurant being nearly empty, they seemed to struggle to seat our party of 9 (despite us offering to split up across two tables). When we finally sat, our waitress was fine. She seemed a little less than patient despite us having just sat down, and even when we were ordering. When my food came out I was not thrilled. They forgot parts of my order, and honestly compared to other Cracker Barrel's the food was just okay. I wish it would've been better, but it got the job done for a relatively inexpensive quick breakfast. read more

The food and service is much improved over their decline a while back! Keeping the decor and sign helped a lot, plus new management!

Very solid restaurant overall went here for all day breakfast and I wish there was more all day breakfast options but to be fair we arrived late, food was good, liked the pancakes (buttermilk pancakes on top) bacon was crispy, eggs were tasty, one thing though portion sizes, overall though very good food loved the service very nice and helpful, the inside was classic southern vibes also floors were clean. (Side note very affordable family of four we all ate good only 50$) read more

Sunday dinner was no dinner! My husband and I arrived around 1:41 and was told a 15 minute wait, but was called in 5 minutes, seated, ordered drinks and bread, place the order and wait time was over an a hour for our food! The family next to us got up and left. Surroundings tables we all had to wait. No explanation until the family walked out. Explanation was we are working on it, waitress said she didn't know what happened. Our food came and one order wrong, completely wrong. I ordered a shrimp platter with Cole slaw and fries, they bought me some type of broil shrimp in a pan dish, looked like rice with it, not mine! So while my husband ate a little, I was waiting, so I just canceled my order, got tired of waiting at that point. The manager never came out to any of the tables, just terrible service. My husband's meatloaf looked as if it was cooked that morning and covered with burnt looking gravy. This is the worse we have ever seen Cracker Barrel. Don't know what happened on a Sunday at 1:30-3:00pm. We are backing off for now. BEWARE on Sundays. read more

Great staff and clean restaurant. Food was typical Cracker Barrel. My food was good well and as ordered. No complaints and was very happy. Will return if in the area. read more

We visited this Cracker Barrel on Mother's Day and we expected a wait, but the wait was fine - they called our party of 6 in approximately 30 minutes- which was great. We were seated and we placed our drink order, once the server returned we placed our orders and we waited. It took a while for the food, but we didn't complain. The server said your food is ready I'll get someone to help me bring it out, we waited another 15 minutes and saw her assist another table in bringing food. When they finally brought our food out, the orders were wrong!! Pancakes looked a mess an eggs were overcooked and I sent them both back. One person in our party only ordered egg and hashbrown casserole- our server continued to say they are working on the correction and her food... Everyone ate what they could of their breakfast... and we continued waiting and finally we just said don't worry about the order or correction, but they finally brought it out with the checks. We had to ask for refills and some still didn't get coffee refills. The ham and bacon were extremely salty on today. And although a lot of ham was left on all of the plates (came with the meal) she didn't bother to even ask was anything wrong with the ham. Sadly we didn't get to eat and enjoy with our family as planned on Mother's Day due to Cracker Barrel! We also ordered 2 extra take home meals and the server came back and said they don't have that either. Previously she told me they were prepackaged meals, but when she told me they don't have it.. she said they hadn't fixed them yet. I'm not sure what the true reason is, but I didn't get the take home meals ordered either. I would not recommend that anyone come to Cracker Barrel. We spent over 2 hours trying to enjoy a nice breakfast and still couldn't eat together! The bathrooms were clean and they do have their own private parking lot which was filled. read more

Interesting. That's what I have to say. We needed a place to go for dinner on the way home on our road trip to Fl. It wouldn't have been my first choice but when you're on the road...first order of business, I tried to sign up for rewards both in the app and just by scanning the QR code. It took forever to get a code sent to this email. I even had the waitress get the manager to help me. Eventually, it worked. But you can't use the reward right away - you have to go back a 2nd time within 30 days to use it (so that probably will discount me!). I ended up only with a side salad since most of the foods were fried and I didn't want that. My husband got a steak and fried shrimp and my son got chicken tenders. The one thing I did like was the the country store - you did feel like you were in a country store! MY son bought a bunch of candy to bring for the ride home - the prices were reasonable which was a nice surprise. It wouldn't be my first choice because I really don't like this kind of food. read more

So good! The southern fried chicken is a must! Biscuits and cheesy hash are a must! Service was so nice. The inside is very old school, but I expected this since it is Cracker Barrel! read more

Went here on Saturday March 8th 2025 with my parents and uncle for a much needed breakfast while traveling for our trip to South Carolina. This was our first trip to this location. As My parents and I have been to other Cracker Barrell locations, mainly for breakfast. Anyways, we walked in, was greeted by a smiling host, who sat us at a table. Our server also greeted us efficiently, and quickly. We all started with 4 coffees and 4 waters. Waitress did do a good job refilling our coffee and made sure they were filled. After a few minutes we decided what we wanted: i got the short stack of chocolate chip pancakes with a side of impossible sauasage (and the chocolate chip pancakes are new to the menu!) someone else had the blueberry pancakes with bacon, and we had 2 grandma's breakfasts, one with regular hash browns, and one with casserole. Food came out in a timely manner. The only reason this has 4 stars is because the server-- gave us eggs with the chocolate chip pancakes, and i did not think it came with the eggs, nor was it explained to me. . Now no big deal because my dad ate them, but still. Anyways, the chocolate chip pancakes exceeded my expectations, and i enjoyed them as well as the sausage! Everyone else also enjoyed their food. We then was given the bill and gave a cash tip to the waitress. My dad paid up front while my mom and I used the restrooms, which were clean. Would definetely be back to a cracker barrel soon! read more

Our waiter Cody was excellent. Food was very good, with the exception of the decaf coffee which looked more like dirty water.Our silverware was not clean so asked for another set. Second set was not clean either. Not "used" but smudged. Place was crowded. read more

I never write reviews, buuut...I got robbed by an UberEats driver tonight. It was not Cracker Barrel's responsibility to fix it, but they did. The manager got on the phone, was super nice and understanding and made it right. I'm so grateful because I was CRAVING that meatloaf. Thank y'all! read more

Our waiervwas very kind and helpful. But I have noticed that the baked potatoes seem warmed over. As rho they have been set aside, and warmed up for the next ordering customer. Should it not be a fresh cooked potatoe? Since you are paying full price for a fresh one. Not one reheated. Persons usually know a good potatoe and one sitting around refrigerated. Cracker Barrell has or had a good reputation for good food! That is what paying customers expect! Appreciate your waitstaff very pleasant individuals! read more

I don't usually leave reviews but I must say my husband and I went to Cracker Barrel for my birthday and Roz, our server was wonderful. I enjoy the old timey vibe here as I'm not a fan of the newer remodeled restaurants. I really enjoyed the campfire chicken and my husband had the meatloaf per usual. Overall, an amazing experience. Thank you !!! read more

This place has improved 100%. Food and service now is excellent! We came for breakfast and today we had lunch. Everything was great and decent prices read more

Let me just say that my waitress Ashley was a complete rockstar & by far the best waitress I've had @ a CB in probably a year. Since it was Thursday I went with the Turkey & Dressing special. My order was put within 10 minutes and smokin hot. Now the dressing was horribly dry but the Turkey was on point and that sweet potato was a nice touch as well. Ashley was a little fairy floating around. Before u could even drink half your drink she had it topped off and was always asking how everything was and just had a really nice personality. read more

If you eat here and thing it's good...something is wrong with your palate. To start we had lunch...breakfast I'm sure is WAY better. It's almost not edible, in fact we left most of it. The chicken tenders (the simplest thing to not screw up) we're soggy not crisp not even a little and cold. My husband had maple grilled chicken with Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was room temperature and had no taste. I'm giving one star for the Watermelon lemonade. The server was also a 5...very sweet southern boy. Wished we went to Chick Fil A!!! read more

Ate here last year on New Year's Eve. They had no lettuce...problem is easily solved...send an employee to the produce section of a grocery store. This New Year's Eve (2024)...no soup. Surely they must have someone in the kitchen who can make soup. I ordered an early dinner...fried chicken. Got a piece of chicken I couldn't cut into...probably sitting around for awhile. My guess is poor management/poor inventory records. Waitstaff very nice. read more

My wife and I road trip fairly often and I have always wondered about Cracker Barrel's popularity "mystique". The restaurant on Wilson, NC is located close to where we stayed overnight when traveling to Florida this year. For convenience sake, and because we wanted a sit down meal at the end of our 10 hour drive, we decided to eat here. BIG MISTAKE!!! The service was chaotic, the menus for both my wife and I were partially torn and falling apart. The order was delivered out of sequence and the food was barely warm. I might add that the food was also either overcooked or barely cooked at all. Avoid at all costs the side of Mac and Cheese as, if you like this item, chances are you will only have one forkful before you gag. We got to the restaurant at around 7 or so and it was fairly crowded but most tables were clearing out by the time we sat down. Thinking that the place was very popular, we had no idea how bad the food was. NEVER AGAIN! read more

Meh.... Nothing special. Slow to bring food. Smaller portions. They usually are large portions but not anymore. Not hot just Warm. read more

Are you in the South? Are you on a highway? Is it within normal business hours? Are you hungry? Are you willing to sell your stomach's soul for pre-done, pre-portioned, pre-made food? If you said yes to the above then wait about eight seconds because the next Cracker Barrel is only moments away. We were on the way back to PA from FL and needed a place for a late dinner. This CB was right off 95 and open and we were starving so the low threshold for stopping here was achieved. The restaurant was maybe a third full and with how everything here is rendered chow hall style the food hit the table in beyond record time. We always order the same things so it does provide a basis point as to the quality but in a way that's an oxymoron since CB is 100% supposed to be all about bland uniformity not Michelin Star worthy creativity. Country Fried Steak - Roast Beef - Apple Cider BBQ Chicken - Cheeseburger All things were rendered as advertised with the slight exceptions of the roast beef which was fattier than usual and our server who asked if we wanted biscuits and muffins only to bring us just the muffins. No Bueno in my book since the muffins have the consistency of flavored dry sand. Thanks Flo but I made sure to flag her down for the biscuits. Door to door it was around forty minutes which for a sit down dinner is like getting serviced by a NASCAR pit crew. Nothing special, and to the jokers who give this place five stars you honestly need to get out more, but also nothing bad which sounds like A-OK to me. read more

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - Profile shot - American Near Me - Wilson, North Carolina

The 2016 YELP Review #234: SERVER: Jennifer P. Personal appearance: A+ Politeness: A+ Professionalism:A+ Knowledge of menu: A+ Ability to remember the little things requested: A+ NOTE: If I returned to this location, I would desire to be seated in her section because of her efficiency. RESTAURANT: Clean, plenty of seating - like all Cracker Barrels. The temp. was a bit cool, so if you are susceptible to getting a chill - older folks take heed, then you should bring a light jacket or sweater. Noting that I was fine in a t-shirt and shorts. RESTROOM: Clean. Well-stocked. FOOD: My usual. Pancakes, turkey sausage & hash brown casserole. Large OJ. Pancakes tasted a bit metallic... (I know that sounds odd)... not sure why, they were cooked perfectly and passed the fork test. Casserole was hot and tasted fresh. It thankfully lacked the hard-dryness that I fear getting when I am in a rush. Sausage was just OK. ELAPSED TIME: From placing the order to being served: A PARKING: Like all Cracker Barrels... super plentiful CASHIER: Polite, wore a smile, was very efficient (not her first rodeo). 4-stars now. 5.on next visit if I experience similar results. read more

1st time at this Wilson location, Sat am breakfast. The restaurant was fairly busy, but I was quickly seated and greeted by my server. Food came to the table with a minimal wait. Everything was flavorful, and good portion sizes. read more

Service was excellent, unfortunately, the quality of Cracker Barrel's food has reached the lowest point. Hash brown casserole wasn't even a casserole. It tasted AND looked like really old, soggy hash browns with no other ingredients. Sure, restaurants may have bad days but this is my third time recently trying to give them another chance but the results have been the same. I'm so disappointed. read more

We stopped here for dinner while on a road trip from Florida to New York. We stopped in on NYE and there was no crowd. The restaurant was clean and the food was great. I wish I remembered our waitresses name because she was outstanding, never had an empty glass. Kids had chicken fingers and sliders, husband ordered a sampler and I had an egg sandwich on the multigrain all was cooked well and enjoyed by all. read more

I love eating at this place! I always stop thru when I'm in Wilson visiting family. You can always tell that the food is good simply because it's always packed. Not only are the staff very friendly, so are the patrons. The prices are affordable and the food is great. If I had to pick one thing here, it would definitely be the pancakes. The combination of the warm and buttery pancakes along with the warm syrup is a masterpiece! Its convenient to the highway and there's enough parking even when its packed. I will continue to eat here because it's a great experience. I cant comment on anything else but the breakfast food, so hopefully one day I will try other things on the menu and give my opinion on it. Let me add that it never takes too long for our food to come. The biscuits are always warm and the seating is comfortable. read more

Went to Cracker Barrell last night, first they got the order wrong,asked for hot choc.-machine was broke down. We got coffee-waitress never returned to refill cups also asked for straws & extra napkins (never received them). Worst meal ever at cracker barrell. That's a first for us! Food is usually good. I know everyone is short of help. Posted by Nancy Boykin of Wilson NC read more

I went on a Monday morning and my experience was okay. I ordered their new egg sandwich and added bacon to it. However, when it came, the waiter told me she did not put cheese on it bc that would cost extra. I explained that the cheese was part of the sandwich but she kept saying it was extra. I just dealt with it bc the bacon was the item that was extra. I just wish the waiter better understood the menu. I don't think I would go back bc I was not wowed. read more

This store provides a whole experience. They have a little general store with all sorts of items in it. From jackets to candles and books it is really an eclectic mix of things to buy. As for the food, it was pretty good with the highlights being the buttermilk biscuits and chicken fried chicken. For the side dishes they were a little bland and lacked some seasoning. I was fairly happy with my whole experience here with the exception of not knowing when my takeout was ready to be picked up. I gave them my phone number but was never alerted when my food was ready. Overall I am quite satisfied but there are a few improvements to be made! read more

Worst fried chicken ever! Dried out over cooked, couldn't cut it with a knife. How can you serve food like this!!!! Never again will I go to CB & I was a fan for 20 years. read more

We were a group of four. I wanted them to have a good experience of Southern Cooking. Food was good, and service was excellent. The only negative opinion we all had was that the Coca Cola Cake had no coke in it.... They should omit mentioning Coke in the Coca Cola cake. Others, we all enjoyed the evening. read more

Couldn't wait to be back to North Carolina and try this pancakes but the service was terrible. I pay for my food and the cashier tells me to grab my food as I'm getting my food from behind her , I'm struggling with myfoo/drinks and my drink spills on my leg and shoes never once she offer a napkin so I can wipe myself nor offer any help carry the food to my car places like this make me want to be white person so I can be treated with a courtesy and maybe a smile as I come into the restaurant. By the way the pancakes were awful and burn. read more
