This review is based on only 2 visits... and I may be in a minority for not experiencing this place until this point in my life (30's), we just never had this restaurant around me... 1st experience was for breakfast... BREAKFAST HERE IS WHERE IT IS AT!!! And for that reason only, I would give it a 4! I got the pecan pancakes, turkey bacon and hash brown casserole. The pancakes were like crack... This is really where the 4 stars come in because it was realllly good I ended up going into the general store and buying a bag of their pancake mix... Yum... the turkey bacon was average and the hash brown casserole was a little too much for me with the pancakes but it was still good. 2nd experience was for dinner while I waited for the Bay Bridge to open due to high winds (was in traffic for 2 hours and I had to pee -- great! I can pee and eat at Cracker Barrel!). I ended up getting the Chicken Fried Chicken (gravy on the side), mac n cheese and coleslaw. The chicken was good, not the best I've ever had, but it was good. With the gravy for me, it would've been too much . But I also don't like my food really mixing so I'm weird like that, even with toppings like gravy. The coleslaw was good - just the way I like it... The mac n cheese was a little disappointing but it was still edible. By a few bites in I did regret I didn't opt for the pancakes instead.... They also give you a biscuit and piece of cornbread; those were good. Overall, the food is mediocre with the exception of the pancakes which are like crack... so good. The staff is very customer service friendly. Overall good experience but going forward I'll stick to the all day breakfast menu. read more

Cozy spot with a great staff and delicious food across the board. The biscuits will change your life for the better and give you a more optimistic output for 2018. Make sure to eat at least 4-7 for the full experience. The fried apples are go-to every time I visit. Just the best. Hearty homemade sides could be a meal upon themselves. I'm not sure if I like the breakfast or lunch menu more, both are a wonderland of belt adjusting dishes. Support America, Eat Cracker Barrel. Skip the Gift Shop. read more

The website didn't have the regular sides I wanted so I tried to call in the order and they put me on hold for ten min then I just called back to go on hold again for 5 min then hung up and called back just to go on hold again. Very simple question and no one could answer. Terrible attitude and service read more

What was supposed to be a great family outing turned to be not so great. I will start by saying they were pretty efficient with assigning guests to a table. HOWEVER, there was not much order when it came to how individuals were to be seated. Meaning I was standing in line waiting for my family to be seated when another family blatantly walked in front of us and completed cut the line. Nobody attempted to rectify the situation. Next, my food came out with a nice long strand of HAIR! Also, my husband's order did not come out as requested. The manager corrected the problem, but to be honest there needs to be a bit more organization when it comes to waiting lines/areas and quality control with orders especially during the current pandemic. read more

Excellent service, food was great and very friendly staff. The cashier needs a little smile and hostess also but the very friendly waitress, Loh, was great. It was nice that the manager came to our table and chatted with us. read more

What a disappointment. When being seated, we like the windows and there was an open table. We were informed that table had no server, not 10 minutes later, the hostess sat someone at that table. We stopped by to get a Sandwich and there was only two sandwiches. Seeing Cheese Curds on the menu was going to be a treat. We were informed that they were out of the Cheese Curds, but the pickles were just as good. Tried the pickles, a disappointment. We ordered 2 cheeseburgers, well McDonalds burgers are better and cheaper. We ordered medium cooked, if that was medium, I wouldn't want to see what well done was. They were dry, no taste and just bad. My husbands drink was refilled, but I had to ask to have my tea refilled. The gift shop where I traditionally purchase Christmas gifts that are University of Maryland and Navy was a very poor selection and I don't mind paying extra for a unique gift, but the prices were crazy. read more

Some good food but the staff isnt the best . Not very impressed but some of the food is good . Really old country style though . Cute store . read more

I stopped here for comfort food after being stuck in epic Bay Bridge traffic. I was in meltdown mode and considering giving up on my weekend Ocean City plans. The wait staff at this Cracker Barrel location seems to have expertise in dealing with frazzled eastbound travelers. The chicken and dumplings and peach tea was just what I needed! Thank you Cracker Barrel for saving my trip! read more

After being seated we waited roughly a few minutes before our server Theresa came to ask for our drinks. After placing our order we sat with drinks only for over 45 minutes. We needed refills and biscuits however they came once our food finally arrived. It seemed that our food was under the heat lamp for a while. My meat loaf and mashed potatoes were hard on top. Some of the other plates were warm and the food was not hot. The meat loaf is horrible! Very sweet and totally disgusting. We had to ask for everything. The biscuits were very hard. Theresa acted like we were bothering her. No personality. She was busy on her phone when she was standing in the kitchen area while we were still waiting on our food. Our server brought the check shortly after delivering our food without asking if we needed anything else. I'm assuming we won't be having dessert. We will NEVER come back to this Cracker Barrel. We have never had this kind of experience like we did today. When traveling we always seek out Cracker Barrel's. I would give them 0 stars if I was able to. read more

I cannot believe people are rating Cracker Barrel as "As good as it gets!" Yeesh, expand your palette--eat somewhere that serves real food, and doesn't just reheat frozen and canned items. I've been there twice, dragged by friends, and both events were horrible. Usually I'm okay with a big plate of greasy food to quash a hangover, but the slow service and cold food were definitely not worth the price. You couldn't pay me to go back. I know Cracker Barrel used to be a paragon of the pit-stops when traveling, but it's really gone downhill (or at least, at this location) in the last few years. If you're hungry and on the road going through Maryland, I suggest hitting up a WaWa to save you time, money, and from liquid diarrhea. read more

Meals here are so affordable and taste just as good! Getting to choose between breakfast or lunch food also helps! Everything I've gotten here has always been tasty. I've had their ribeye, grilled catfish, french toast, pecan trout, meatloaf, and sirloin. Definitely would get the catfish and ribeye again along with their hashbrown casserole and carrots. The mac and cheese is also great! Get biscuits instead of their cornbread and don't forget to ask for apple butter and jelly! read more

I LOVE CRACKER BARREL END OF STORY...LOL Ok let me get to the review. I have yet to go to any location of Cracker Barrel and receive bad customer service or food! Locations are always in a good spot. You walk in and they make you feel like family. I love all of the old school decor. The gift shop that has the oldies but goodies candy and plenty of cool items for you to choose from. There pancakes are good. French Toast is the bomb.com!! Ask for powder sugar and BOOM you got a awesome dish! Nothing like eating eggs and knowing that they are super fresh. Heck I thought about running out back to see if they got it straight from the chicken they were so good! LOL Honey chile when they say "country ham" they mean it! Bacon is great! I have nothing bad to say about this place. And YOU yes YOU reading this review..what are you waiting for? Stop pondering about going and just GO GO GO!! You won't be disappointed. :-) EnJOY! read more

Cracker Barrel cracks me up. Drive by at any hour of the day, any day of the year and the parking lot is packed. Can't blame 'em! The sides are rockin. You know I can't resist macaroni and cheese on a menu. Other CB loves of mine include dumplings (not slick like my mama makes but still good), green beans, glazed carrots, baked apples, and sugar ham. Service has been fine at this location. Nothing fabulous, nothing terrible. But, what a bummer when you get the person with one star on their apron. Nothing says "you're in for a great experience here" like that one star apron. Might as well have them wearing around a sign "Warning, new person!" I've only been at non-peak times so I've never had a problem with a wait. read more

Once loved Cracker Barrell. Its not what it once was. Quality and quantity are no longer so great. Better places around.

Ok I'm a huge Cracker Barrel fan, mostly for their breakfast....However my second visit to this location was mediocre....I had to wait 35 mins to be seated for starters which isn't typical. My pancakes were lukewarm, my bacon was over cooked and looked like old leather and my eggs was a scary sight to see. I sent the eggs back because it was unsightly and looked undercooked and I requested it to be scrambled hard. The actual taste of my meal was lackluster and was disappointing after the long wait and my high expectations of Cracker Barrel. The pancakes were not as fresh and fluffy as usual. I will def be back to Cracker Barrel in the future but not this location.... *waitress was nice , attentive and accommodating nonetheless :-)* read more

We always love a drive over the bridge to this amazing place .. Food is always good ..no wait time tonight at approx 715 pm They have an extensive menu including breakfast all the time ...the service is usually friendly although on this evening we had a young 17 yr old gent who seemed to forget things and got confused quite bit ...We just had to remind him could we have those biscuits and butter now please..did you forget we need cutlery ..... Frequently Ive noticed by later in the day their outta of a few sides or something we always seem to want on the menu ...due to a local tornado that hit the island 2 days prior and apparently a loss of power we were told there was no ice creme and things that needed to be refrigerated ..we wondered how they kept the catfish and chicken cooled since there was no power for 2 days but decided not to ask .. As for our meals we had catfish with sides of mac n cheese, okra, coleslaw and campfire chicken dinner ...always tasty ...corn muffins and biscuits always good warm with lotsa butter..I think the water here has a strange taste to it ...almost like local well water ..not to desirable frankly even with lemon in it .. Upon check out the bill was not in system to be found ..another waiter issue apparently ..Were sure hoping out waiter gets some additional training so next time hell be spot on ... Of course shopping in the store always a treat we always find something neat to take home and one has to sit on the rockers outdoors and take a pic or two ... read more

Signed up for the waitlist as we left our house. Wait time was 15 minutes, that was an hour ago! Its a shame, this location used to be so fast & efficient. read more

Good price. Good food. Server was very attentive of our needs. A lot of sweets to chose from at their shop. Definitely would recommend the deep fried cat fish. Yum. read more

This place was packed but the service was excellent and we were served quickly. Thanks!

Packed January 2nd 2017. Must be due to crappy rain outside. Food is ok nothing spectacular. Gift shop area is packed with stuff. Hard to moved around. Fresh squeeze orange juice is the only thing that's good here. read more

From a SOCAL perspective I was happy with the menu choices. They have some stick to your ribs food and the place was packed...always a good sign that the food's good. read more

I've heard so many things about Cracker Barrel that I finally decided to give it a try as we were close to a Cracker Barrel going on a vacation get away. We were seated right away, ordered our food. I ordered the fish fries (fish chips) and my friends ordered the ruben sandwhich and salad. There was barely any fish meat .. and super dry. I felt like I just ate a little bit of the fish but majority of the breaded skin. The ruben sandwhich my friend got was super cheesy and oily looking - like a heart attack waiting to be happened. Don't think I'll be coming back. read more

Oh I love me some crack barrel! Service was great and the food was too.

I've been here several times but tonight was great. Sunshine my server took a minute to great me but she did awesome otherwise. My roast beef dinner was perfect. Refills were quick. If you come here ask for sunshine. read more

I will not be returning anytime soon! The waitress was really nice and I appreciated her attitude but the hostess was very rude. She would rather talk to her friend rather then seat us. Both hostesses were very rude in many ways. And when we asked a simple question the one hostess gave us unnecessary attitude. What happened to treating the customer with respect. Me and my husband will not be returning until my money is given back or they both are fired. read more

First time here for dinner the hostess acted like we were bothering her and then gave us one dinner and one breakfast menu when I said something she didn't even look at me just handed me another menu. She should be fired luckily our server was great and the food was good it would have been five stars if not for the hostess read more

You had me at the country store! Down home goodness and enough food that you will not eat for the rest of the day. Pecan pancakes, grits, combo breakfast platters, and much more! Love this place! (EGG Rating-) read more

The cracker barrel meals are home style and a good mainstay at a reasonable price. Great for families with out breaking the bank. They do tend to over cooked the,vegetables. You can get breakfast anytime day or night. They have excellent desserts. After eater your wife, girlfriend, boyfriend and children can gander at clothes and toys and Nick necks. There is candy there that you in childhood and cannot find it anywhere else. read more

Stopped here for breakfast before heading to work. Seated quickly and our waitress was prompt. Out food came out quickly and was hot and enjoyable. Portions are a good size, I can never finish all of mine. The only thing I dislike about their breakfast is that just about EVERYTHING on the breakfast menu comes with biscuits and "sawmill gravy". Need to mix that up a bit or offer substitutions, especially for GF. I love their atmosphere and decoration. read more

My fruit was too warm and they don't have raspberry tea and I'm getting weird vibes from the server and they had audacity to send me a message while I was on the terlit read more

It's where you go with the family. It has good portions and good food. Everyone is friendly. They always have the gift shop area full of holiday items. Keep an eye out for specials on the menu if you want to try something new. This place can get really busy but don't worry they usually get you a table fast. read more

Just like every other Cracker Barrel, it's next to a highway and looks the same. Sadly it's across the bay bridge which I hate to drive across. But, it's worth the toll. The food is amazing like the atmosphere and the wait staff are extremely friendly. Which is a nice change of pace from Annapolis. read more

The service here was pretty good. Megan was super responsive, friendly, and nice. This place is almost always slam packed as it's one of the hottest and trendiest eateries for eastern shore foodies. You almost guaranteed to see someone you know here. It's the place to be seen. We had the French toast, pecan pancakes, and biscuits and gravy with a side order of dippy eggs and turkey sausage. The food was average. The silverware was clean as were the plates and glasses. The water was clear, refreshing and the hot chocolate was approved by my sons. read more

Oh Cracker Barrel Breakfast: I am a fan! Consistently we get great service (thank you Jackie, our favorite) and the food is always hot, delicious, and exactly as we ordered. Hubby likes what he calls a "Pittsburgh salad" which in some cases could be a pain of a request in the kitchen (because it's not on the menu) but always comes out perfectly. I change it up with the breakfast items and am always impressed. No wonder your parking lot is always full, Keep up the good work! read more

Of all the cracker barrels I've ever been to (and that's a lot) this is the worst location I've ever been. The floor was absolutely disgusting, so dirty and slippery. Our server was the absolute worst. My mom's food came out - pot roast with mashed potatoes and broccoli- completely cold. The gravy on her mash was congealed. She returned it and they brought her a new plate which was still cold and this time didn't even have gravy. She asked the server to get her some gravy and he literally never returned. We had to get the manager to get us the bill. She didn't even offer an apology. Absolutely ridiculous service. Worst part was they weren't even that busy. read more

Went there for breakfast on New Year's Day morning after watching the sunrise (very beautiful). Service was slow to be expected on New Year's day morning and the food was prepared well. Thank you for being opened. read more

Had a very enjoyable brunch here! The food was delicious and the waitress was very attentive. We were on the way home from Baltimore with my 8 year old son after surgery and she took such good care of him! Even wished him good luck in a note on our tab! Keep up the great service! read more

I ordered the Momma's breakfast which comes with 3 pancakes , choice of bacon or sausage, and two eggs . The pancakes were golden brown with crisp edges and a fluffy center just the way I like. My bacon and eggs were perfect. I made the mistake of asking the waitress to heat my lemonade. This is a request I always make at the various Cracker Barrel's I've been to over the years due to tooth sensitivity. The waitress was very accommodating. She bought it back and told me to try it to make sure it was ok. I took 1 little sip and thought my mouth was on fire . As it slid down my throat it burned so bad I wanted to I requested ice from the waitress to try to cool my mouth and she got the manger who wanted to make sure I was ok and if I needed to see a Dr. At this moment it feels like some of my taste buds have been burned away and the roof of my mouth feels chafed . I'm so confused ‍ the waitress said she pushed the 3 button on the microwave. I have no idea how long that is but clearly too long!! My take away from this is be very specific about how you want your food and drink because clearly you may end up burned read more

The food and service was great!!! I ordered the lemon pepper trout... it was grilled to perfection. I love eating here . I love the country atmosphere and food. read more

Slow on the pick up. We only had 2 meals and it's been a 20 min wait past our pick up time. Supposed to be eating with family in who met us up here in parking lot but they're already done eating. Absolutely ridiculous. And the food is never that good. read more
