    Typical Cracker Barrel. Blueberry pancakes were perfect. The bacon was just meh. Service was very good.

    Honestly, the best experience we've had at any Cracker Barrel location. Our waitress, Miceala, went above and beyond with service! She's extremely efficient and takes such good care of the tables she has. I definitely recommend this location. The food was amazing as well. Thank you so much.

    Always a great breakfast! We went on a Saturday around 9 AM and were seated right away. Service was great. I had the egg sandwich with bacon and cheese and the hashbrown casserole, everything was delicious!

    Hash brown casserole was delicious. Eggs and grits were ok. Coffee was too weak and ordered an expresso drink to take it up q notch. Was nice to sit across the fireplace while waiting on my late breakfast.

    Hands down the absolute best Cracker Barrel we have ever experienced. The food… The service…. OMG!!! That Peanut Butter Mocha!!! Thank you to this location for absolutely amazing service!! Ummmm one negative that has absolutely nothing to do with this location as a whole… the new vendor their getting the fries from… YUCK!! I ate one and left the rest on my plate!! 🤮 Buuut the loaded mashed potatoes were sooooooo freaking delicious!! We visited the SAME location on Friday evening AND TUESDAY afternoon!! Our waitresses were absolutely phenomenal!! One I think was named Mary. 🤔!! (Such a sweet elderly lady) she definitely made us want to come back Tuesday. Thank you Mary!!! (Please forgive me if I got your name wrong) This afternoon our waitress was a younger lady with long dark brown hair it was in a ponytail (sorta messy bun) we were sitting by the window in the back portion close to the wall. (I added a picture of the window we were sitting at). she was soooo great as well she took phenomenal care of us! She waited patiently for my husband to get off his conference call. We looooved our experience!!

    We stopped here on a return trip for a funeral. Were told it would be a 25 min wait. Ended up being a 50 min wait. Waiter was very polite. Took our order and told us that or food wouldn't be ready for 15-20 min. Was about to walk out, but I figured well we waited this long to get a set so we decided to wait it out. Will have to say the food was very good. There was about twice as many carry-outs as customers coming in the store. I suppose that delayed service to dine in customers.

    We wanted a sit-down meal that was relatively affordable, so we came to Cracker Barrel. It took a few minutes for us to be seated, but we ultimately ended up getting a table. Janene was our server, and she was incredibly sweet and personable. Our experience was very nice. For my meal, I got the country fried steak with two sides: a loaded baked potato and macaroni n’ cheese. The food came out after some time, and it was delicious. I never had this meal before but I enjoyed it. The food was nice and hot, and it tasted great. I would definitely recommend this location.

    As a former food service manager the management and customer service of this location was not good at all. Our food was late when there was an open dining room. The server did not follow the steps of service correctly. We had plastic wrap in our food because the hotel pan was not cleaned off properly and when the employees were told all that was done was apologizes. There was a table near us that had cleaning spray left on the table and two different servers didn’t grab it. It was in front of a booster seat for a child and what presumed to be the dad of the kid had to remove it from the table. One of the servers were new and she didn’t have anyone shadowing her or making sure she was doing what she was supposed to.

    We enjoy dining at Cracker Barrel. This particular restaurant is conveniently located right off the highway, exit 44. We usually order breakfast and like that it is offered any time of the day. The rustic decor is interesting and entertaining to look at while you wait for your meal. The store is fun to explore and has many unique and old fashioned items.

    Exactly what you’d expect from CB. Busy Sunday morning but our server was sweet and efficient! Food was good. Biscuits were just the way my dad likes them!

    Food was good but waitress, must have been a new and she was still learning? Had to ask for drink refills, I don’t think she came back to check on us during the meal- the table top was dirty after being bussed, not sure it was her doing as the host was wiping them down and I had to ask for a re-wipe to remove food left from previous diners. There seemed to be enough staff handling a couple tables each so didn’t seem short staffed.

    Great Spot and of course the food is good. Megan knocked it out of the park! Super attentive, coffee never hit the bottom, and super friendly. Grandma’s Sample is the way go…. Every time. Wouldn’t think twice about coming back here. Cheers.

    Always go to Cracker Barrel! The food is always good. Today their grill is giving them a difficult time but you wouldn't notice as a basket of the best, freshest biscuits was brought to our table. The best thing is there was plenty of RV space and we are 45 ft.

    The food was amazing and surprisingly cheap!! There was also a store which is a great plus! The inside was very nicely decorated and even had games to play!

    After making it through the worst of the mountains from Tennessee, I was ready to sleep for the night. I found a spot with the Sprinter van in the back, locked up, went into the store for the restroom and then I was done for the night. I did notice that there are a lot of people walking around in the evening - the low cost motel nearby may be related to that and so you will want to take extra care to lock up your vehicle. Other than a lot of pedestrians, it was a quiet night and I was undisturbed. In the morning, it's time for breakfast! Lots of coffee with eggs and biscuits and some gravy. Good food that will definitely require a nap later. Great service and I love that Cracker Barrel now has a free wifi. Awesome to be able to catch up on a few emails before getting back on to I-40!

    Cracker Barrel is always a good quick option on a trip and they didn't disappoint. Our waitress was super sweet. However, she ordered me a meatloaf plate when I ordered Chicken and Dumplings (which she did end up getting me my correct order) and forgot to change it on my bill. I didn't notice until I was already back on the road and on my way. It wasn't a huge deal, but it was more money for something I wouldn't and didn't eat.

    Long wait on a Thursday night (45 min) Our waitress was very good. Even gave my great niece ice cream for her upcoming birthday. Food was really good. We were pleasantly surprised. The extra time was put to good use. My niece was able to walk around and pick out her own birthday gift. The girl that worked the gift shop floor went above and beyond by going into the back stock room to get her the sleeping puppy ( King Charles Springer Spaniel) she wanted. We had breakfast for dinner. Had not done that in a long time. All in all it was a great family night out.

    On our way home from the AVL airport we stopped to eat here. We waited about 15 minutes because apparently they were short on employees. We enjoyed waiting in the wonderful gift shop wish was very full and attractive. All the staff were very friendly. The food was great and we specially loved the cheese balls. My son eat the whole plate and even tried some new food. My trout was well cooked and delicious. Over all it was a great experience and we will definitely be back.
