Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

Ok, so here’s the thing. First you walk in, dazed and dazzled as you walk through their store front, looking at their unique and interesting products and décor as you make your way to the sitting area. Packed and bustling away as the best smells linger from a busy kitchen. and with so many positive reviews, its got to be good right? That’s what I thought, well boy was I WRONG. Turns out its just another overpriced waffle house impersonator that cant even make their coffee right. If you also take a look at all the breakfast platters, ALL are the same thing except for one little option added (You mean your going to charge 6 bucks extra for a menu item I may not even get? Trust me your better of going to a waffle house then this place, why pay more for the SAME exact thing all chain diners have?

Stopped in for dinner, as I love CB.
The hostess is sick, really sick coughing all over the place .
Then I see her walk into the kitchen for a major coughing hacking spell,
Yuck.
I then sit for 5 minutes and never get waited on.
Time to leave, walked over to Ruby Tuesday.

Always pleased. Pancakes are old fashioned, no glitz & glamor… just hearty and good. My eggs we perfectly prepared (whites only fried hard). Most places can’t seem to get it right. Was very surprised that they carry English Breakfast tea. We love those little bottles of hot maple syrup. Lost one star because hot water pot only stores enough for 1 cup of tea and although really good and flavorful, the smoked sausage patties are really small… like silver dollar pancakes. Our waitress was really nice and attentive… sorry I can’t remember her name.

Gary is the BEST! Great attitude, great smile. Will keep you in stitches laughing. Always remembers everything. I love this Cracker Barrel!

My favorite breakfast place. Fresh meat and eggs. Love it. Service is good and we love looking in the country store. I love that their syrup comes in a sealed glass bottle. Yum! And the country store always has interesting unique items from clothes and jewelry to kids toys to home décor.

I would have given this place a 5 star review if it wasnt for the service. I will say this is the most busiest Cracker Barrel ive ever seen. Does not matter what time of day, its always packed. It is because the food is very very good. If you can handle waiting 30 – 40 minutes to be seated and another 30 for your food and horrible waitressing then your golden.

Yum!

This Cracker Barrel needs to buy a new dishwasher — NOW. Every time we eat there the silverware is dirty, spotty and sometimes even has bits of food or paper stuck to it. If the dishwasher is not getting off what I can see, then what about the germs I can’t see? I have no faith the silverware is getting sanitized. Apparently the health inspector doesn’t have a problem with this since he gave them a 90 in late July. But I have a problem with it. If you can’t even manage clean silverware, I am not eating in your restaurant!

I was on a family trip and as usual we decided to go typical for breakfast and try Cracker Barrel. I typically eat healthier options than that, but it’s very convenient for a bigger group. The menu is of course predictable. I dont care for pancakes or other starchy options, soI am glad I asked about omlettes. They do make them, even though they are not on the menu. An egg white omlette with mushrooms and tomatoes did the trick. The coffee was decent too, and better without sugar than with. I always will get anoyed with places that don’t care sugar in the raw as a sweetner option. Cracker Barrel also gains my contempt for this. It is frustrating to order coffee and then realize the two awful sweetner choices are refined table sugar or splenda. No thank you.
Overall it was fine so I think four stars will suffice.

The food and waitress were okay but the restaurant was out of several entrees and the service was a bit disorganized. I am surprised that things were this way on a Saturday and it wasn’t all that busy. I would have hoped that they would have it together by now!

My coworker and I were seated promply and our orders were delivered very quickly. They were not correct and they were missing items, but we got it quickly. Also our drink glasses were empty most of our meal. Not a happy customer.

Great place for some good southern cooking. Free black eyed peas today for new years day! Great way to start out 2011.
Service started out a little slow but cracker barrel to me is always worth the wait. Great food with great prices. Sure beats fast food on the road
I had the chef salad with a pancake. Yes, a pancake with salad! I can’t pass up an opportunity for a cracker barrel pancake. The pancake was a little well done but still Yummy.
I give this cracker barrel a 4 because of the slow service right out of the gate and the overcooked pancake.
Everything else was great!

I have tried CB in many different locations. I’m still waiting for my first pleasant experience. Either the service or the food is horrible. I guess you can’t have both. One morning at breakfast, I had to wait 45 minutes to get someone to let me pay for my breakfast. There was no cashier despite several attempts to get the manager to get someone up there. All thumbs down here.

I’ve always been a fan of Cracker Barrel for their breakfast menu so I decided to give their dinner menu a try and I was not dissappointed. The Dothan location is clean, service is fast & friendly. I ordered the Chicken and Dumplings plate with mac & cheese, green beans, and their signature hashbrown casserole. The food was delicious! The chicken and dumplings was piping hot, creamy and seasoned well and the sides were all fresh and tasty. If you’re looking for a comforting breakfast or dinner, this is the place!

very very good for a chain

We stopped in for dinner. I couldn’t decide between the country fried steak or the meatloaf. Our waitress, Melissa, suggested the meatloaf w/​fried okra and maccaroni. She made the right choice; it was delicious. I wasn’t crazy about the cornbread, but the biscuits were awesome. We had planned on ordering the strawberry shortcake for dessert, but didn’t manage to save room for it.
Eat here.

Service was slow, but the pancakes were good. Lack of fresh fruits really did them in. Poor place to get some healthy breakfast food.
