We went around 330 on a Friday evening. Restaurant was pretty empty but service was terrible, waitress was chatting with friends and ignored us. Food was not good - veggie plate - carrots were soggy, fried okra wasn't fried long enough. Second bad trip to this site and no improvements.

We stopped here thinking we knew what to expect....boy, this was the worst meal i ever had at a Cracker Barrel.

Nice selection of clothes, bric-a-brac and nostalgic candies, sodas and deserts. The Buckeyes are almost as good as those made by our friends in Ohio. There are interesting toys for the children. So, if you're looking for a unique gift or just to treat yourself, this may fit the bill for you.

We went later in the evening, the ladies at the table behind us were crabby and complaining a lot, we had the same waitress, she was very patient and tried to accommodate them, When she couldn't she got a manager. The manager was very nice and offered them replacement food. A few other people came over to check on them...

Large servings

The breakfasts consisted of extremely large servings of pancakes, eggs and French toast. Service was lacking at times depending on how busy they were. The cashier is too quick to throw out charge receipts. Some of us need them for business travel.

Comfort Food--well done in volume

The standard Cracker Barrel lineup, but the store is well-managed and has a lot of dedicated servers who've been with the store for significant periods of time. As a result, the restaurant handles volume well--and the food is always consistent!

I had an early Thanksgiving with my mother, grandmother, boyfriend, sister and her two young sons. We were seated quickly, and a young man began to take our drink orders.

Predictable but not great food. Hard of find something for vegetarians because many of the vegetables have meat in them. I always think of its fireplace in cold weather and ask to be seated near there. Great for comfort food. Lines are usually long but the store is interesting enough to make it bearable. If you're diabetic there is NSA...

This is a great place to go when you are on a budget. They have a great selection of meals, all reasonably priced. In November they had a special. My favorite is the pork roast. It is a seasonal dish they should have all year long.

My dining partner wanted steak and eggs which isn't on the menu. At other Cracker Barrel's he'd been told what amounted to 'no,' but at this one the waitress said 'sure.' Nothing was too much trouble for her and we were very pleased to let the manager and Cracker Barrel know how good she was.

They really want you to check out the junk store at Cracker Barrel, so they are in no hurry to clear tables and seat you - even if you can see plenty of available tables.

What can I say about the Cracker Barrel that you don't already know? They're all over, making them very convenient, and their food is pretty consistent no matter where you go.

We ate brunch here, and found the food to be OK, but not great. My omelette was a bit on the dry side, and the rest of the meal was also so-so. However, we did have an outstanding waitress who looked after us very well, and was also extemely personable. I would go back there again.

The wait to get a table was not long, but it did take longer than it should have to get service. I ordered breakfast and the portions were very generous and the food was tasty. Some of the students with me ordered dinner and they were very pleased with the quality of the food.

Cracker Barrel has never been a favorite of mine, but my wife likes it - home-cooked food, she says. I ordered a Hamburger Steak, mashed potatoes, green beans, biscuits.

This is definitely a "Meh. I've experienced better" place. I've eaten at Cracker Barrels before; it's pretty reliable food at a decent price. But this is the first time I've eaten at a Cracker Barrel…

Good old fashioned southern cooking. I have missed this kind of food. Not something you can get in Colorado. Biscuits and gravy were great and the ham was awesome.

In Short
Originating in Lebanon Texas, this country store and restaurant has branched out all over the U.S. The décor includes old advertising signs, farm equipment, early kitchen appliances and photos which complement the country-style seating. Their menu includes home-style comfort foods like meatloaf and house-made mashed potatoes daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Make sure to stop into the gift shop for souvenirs and a variety of knick-knacks.

Great place to eat AND shop! YP.com

This is one of my favorite places to eat. The servers are friendly and generally keep drink orders full. If an order gets messed up, the servers will take care of it. Of all our travels, we have found the Newport News Cracker Barrel to be the best - friendly and helpful servers as well as having good food. The people in the store section are willing to go out of their way to find merchandise....
