I was excited to find a diner near my location, unfortunately Metro Diner didn't quite live up to…read morewhat I expect from a diner. Overall, I'd describe the experience as okay. The food was hit or miss, with the chicken noodle soup being the highlight and easily the best thing I had. The fried chicken tenders, on the other hand, were disappointing. They were dry and lacked the crispy, flavorful batter and overall "fry factor" I expect from good chicken tenders. The service was also subpar. Our server (Amber C) seemed more interested in sitting in a booth with a male patron than making sure her guests were taken care of. There were missed opportunities to check back or see if we needed anything and, as a result, the restaurant missed out on an additional $16 in sales -- along with what would have been a generous tip. We didn't order a beverage because we thought the prices were simply too high. As for the atmosphere, there really wasn't anything particularly memorable about it. We were hoping to find that classic, welcoming diner experience, but unfortunately, this just didn't leave much of an impression. It's not a terrible place, but based on this visit, I'm not rushing back.

Today we were going to try a new restaurant in Farragut, but the wait line was out the door, so we…read morewent to Cracker Barrel. Our server was Dylan who was pleasant, knowledgeable, and an overall likable young man. During our time there, he returned to our table several times and asked if our food was to our liking and if he could provide anything else for us. I ordered the Biscuit Benny which is CB's version of Eggs Benedict. It is a biscuit with choice of ham, sausage, plant-based sausage or bacon, eggs and Hollandaise sauce. Finished with a tomato-green-onion blend garnish and a choice of two sides. I chose the bacon with hash brown casserole and spicy baked apples as my sides. When the food arrived at my table, it was the most beautiful plating job I have seen at a CB. Instead of the nondescript white plates, mine was a blue and white Dresden design. The biscuits were fluffy, the eggs cooked perfectly (when I cut into them, the yolk ran liberally over my biscuits) and bacon was covered in a delicious Hollandaise sauce, with colorful diced green onions and tomatoes. The hash brown casserole was divine and the apples cooked to perfection. Considering many restaurants who are raising their prices, I thought for $12.49, I got a delicious bargain. I had to give kudos to and tip the cook as well who prepared the most delicious meal I have had to date at a CB and plated it with artistic aplomb (see attached photo). Kudos to George who is the King of the Line Cooks. Like Arnold Schwarzenegger is famous for saying, "I'll be back!"

My husband has been wanting for seven years to try the fried chicken at Cracker Barrel, we've tried…read moremany other things... but we had just returned from a trip to Nashville and decided around 8 o'clock at night that we'd stop in and order his craving. Four piece fried chicken with mashed potatoes, green beans and we decided four pieces was enough between the two of us just split . I ordered a side salad as well. I asked the waitress what the four pieces were, if there was a choice. Her reply was "there are pieces of chicken." I explained to her the chicken has drumsticks, wings, breasts, thighs. ..." oh she said...... I can go ask!" No worries, we'll take what comes ! Room temperature, fried chicken, obviously been sitting under their lights or somewhere... dried out mashed potatoes that were the color of I'm not quite sure... with a crust on top.... Only because they too have been sitting somewhere for a while, cool to the touch. Green beans were also barely lukewarm. We have been to Cracker Barrel many times and typically are happy but have noticed that that southern comfort style and grace is a little bit far and in between ... Cracker Barrel is comfort food, good old fashion meals that should be served hot . This was 8 o'clock at night. There was not a lot of people dining in at this time. And I'm not sure why they felt that serving this type of fare was acceptable. We also had to ask for a basket of rolls, which typically have always been a combination of biscuits and cornbread... there were just biscuits. We got up and asked to speak to management..... which did finally come out at the back kitchen area.... Obviously not overseeing what type of food was being served. She was kind apologized, offered us food to go or whatever at that point we weren't interested at all. I certainly hope that the management at the Cracker Barrel's.... take some management concern in helping especially number one their servers that don't understand the baskets of biscuits and cornbread come out with the meals and that there are different parts of a chicken.... And the server definitely should pay attention to the food they're serving, and if it doesn't look fresh and hot that they need to return it to the person preparing the meals. I honestly don't know how that food even left the kitchen. Nobody was obviously looking at the food they were serving. Truly disappointed and hoping again that management makes corrections in these areas.

The ambience was good too so I thought I'd enjoy the food. I was wrong. The server asked if I'd like warm bread and butter before the meal, so I said yes. She brought me a warmed up hamburger bun (gross) but the honey butter was pretty great, but it didn't help me forget I was eating a hamburger bun. The main course appeared. I ordered a Rajun Cajun which is a spicy chicken breast on a bun. It tasted okay, but then I bit into a tendon or something in the chicken breast which skeeved me so I quit eating that. The thick-sliced potatoes dipped in homemade ranch was pretty good too but overall, I was disappointed.
