It's a place you're likely to encounter your grandparents l, who come here because portions are generous and it taste like it always has. Nothing fancy. Pancakes are the winner - they are fluffy and nearly sweet enough to eat without syrup. Eggs are fine and hashbrowns are plenty though you might be hoping for a bit more crisp. Lunch will need to wait until another visit but I can tell the club sandwich and side of biscuits will be easy choice along with open face turkey or meatloaf. It's grandma's kitchen for certain, and it always has a place in my heart.

I was wrong, but it was worth the wait. We got our names out down and waited about 20 mins for a table to open up. Our server was very nice and super busy. She got our drink orders and then when she came back she got our food orders. I got the breakfast sandwich with ham and the homestyle potatoes and fruit. My husband got the early bird special, which goes until 11. It was a little wait for the food which was completely understandable. When it came out, it came out hot and tasty. The sandwich was served with an omelet style egg and tasted really good. The homefries were delicious, they were cooked with onions that added a little sweetness and had a little crust on them from the flat top. My husband really liked his meal. It was a good sized portion, with 2 biscuits, eggs over easy, 2 sausage patties and gravy. He turned them into little biscuit sandwiches. The biscuit he said was really good and gave me a piece, it was light and fluffy. The food here is down home comfort food that hits the spot. Service is super friendly. It's a place worth checking out if you are passing through or just coming to if you are a local. The prices are great, food delicious, service friendly and fast, you can't go wrong.

Located in downtown Maryville, there is plenty of parking available. Since we were a large group, we were seated upstairs, which I loved.

If I ever owned a restaurant, I would hire him! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive and made the whole experience even better. Most of our group ordered the tableside pasta wheel and loved it. I had the penne allá vodka and couldn't get enough of it, while my husband really enjoyed their wide selection of bourbon.

I used to be a regular at Cracker Barrel, but we stopped going because of the menu changes, slow…read moreservice, smaller portions and price increases over the last 2 years. After the logo controversy, we decided to give Cracker Barrel another try today. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment. We were seated to a dirty table that was never wiped off. We were handed a new menu that had coffee stains all over it. We ordered the food and the wait was fairly long, even though there weren't that many people. There were 3 of us and they brought a basket with only 2 small biscuits. The waitress didn't return to fill our glasses or coffee the entire time. I ordered the Country Boy Breakfast with Sirloin Tips. This item used to include a Sirloin Steak, 3 Eggs and Apples, Hashbrowns and Grits. Now, it's ham or Sirloin tips and 2 sides, no grits and costs more. A single meal that used to cost $20 out the door leaving a $5 tip, now costs, $5 more. The food arrived lukewarm and didn't look that great presentation wise. It was ok. It wasn't like it used to be. The hash-brown casserole was tasteless and the sirloin tips were over-cooked with no seasoning. Regardless of logo changes or not, Cracker Barrel isn't a value anymore and quite frankly, the food isn't that great. I don't ask for a lot, but I think I should have a clean table, a clean menu, and hot food that tastes good. And it wouldn't hurt if the waitress refilled the drinks once. It's a shame, but I don't see Cracker Barrel making it. I know that I won't be back. Cracker Barrel had millions of dollars in free advertising from all this controversy. People will probably try it again just to see how it's changed. People may give it ONE shot out of curiosity, but they won't come back for overpriced, mediocre, lukewarm food.
