As we discovered for good reason. This establishment has an old diner ambiance that really works. We were greeted as we entered and sat immediately. Orders coffee and waters. After a few minutes our orders were taken. Throughout our dining experience, our coffees and waters were frequently topped off. When our food came after a short wait, we were very pleased. Everything was prepared well and they do provide adequate portions. Everything tasted great and the customer service was on point. If we're in this area again, we'll definitely eat here. So many options to choose from.

First, they forgot half of our food and I had to remind the waitress about it. Then, my gravy biscuits were cold and when I mentioned it, the waitress took the plate, microwaved it, and brought it back to me. I wasn't expecting that. The biscuits were a little dry. I'm not sure much of it is homemade, as we saw the delivery of frozen food while we were there. The pancakes, plain and chocolate chip, were really good and my husband loved the bacon. My cheese grits were good and the sausage was pretty good. The prices were low.

He made sure everything was perfect! We started off with the Cheese Sticks with both ranch dressing and marinara sauce! The marinara sauce was really good! The ranch dressing was too watered down for my taste!!! The cheese sticks were hot and fresh! Very gooey and good! He ordered the 13 Bones burger with fries. The burger had amazing flavor! The fries were a bit too salty, but they were perfectly cooked and served hot! I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich with their homemade chips! I ordered an extra side of dressing for both my sandwich and the chips. I just cannot rave enough about how amazing my entire meal was! Those chips were PERFECT!!!! Already looking forward to our next visit! Most Sincerely, Dayla

I had high hopes. The food and reviews looked good…read more We arrived and there was a full parking lot, always a good sign. We were sat quickly. The server was super nice. It was very cold where we were sitting and the server allowed us to move to a warmer spot. We ordered a fried mushroom appetizer. This was very good. They came with ranch and I think it was the horseradish sauce. The orangish sauce was very good. I ordered 1/2 rack of dry ribs with mac & cheese and green beans, and 2 hushpuppies. You get a choice of Texas toast, hushpuppies, or rolls. My coworker ordered salmon. When the food came out, my ribs were wet. I told the server that I had ordered dry rub. He stated they were dry but had sauce on them. I'm sorry, that is not a "dry rib", in my opinion. The first piece of rib meat I ate was soft and juicy. The next two were super dry and I could not eat any more of them. My coworker joked that that was probably what they were referring to when they said "dry rub". The green beans were ok. I added a ton of pepper and some hot sauce. I saved the mac & cheese for lunch the next day. The hushpuppies were dense and needed a little more flavor. My coworker commented that her salmon was ok but nothing to write home about. I should have went with my first instinct and ordered from the kids menu. The prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is nice.

We've been coming here for several years in a row, and the consistency in both the food and service has been great. We stopped in for lunch today as a group of 7, and everything was spot on. Our server, Taylor B., was absolutely excellent--attentive, friendly, and kept everything running smoothly without missing a beat. I ordered the meatloaf with fried apples and mashed potatoes, and it was fantastic. The meatloaf was flavorful and perfectly cooked, the apples were warm and sweet, and the mashed potatoes were classic comfort food. If you're in Mount Airy and looking for a solid, satisfying meal with great service, don't let the low ratings scare you off. Cracker Barrel continues to deliver every time for us!
