The Bay Area’s Most Exciting Restaurant Openings | Eater SF

"The classic country-style chain is opening a Rocklin location, promising the comfort-soups-and-dumplings crowd a traditional Cracker Barrel experience." - Luke Tsai

A New Cracker Barrel Is Opening in Northern California in the Sacramento Area | Eater SF

"If you’re a fan of buttermilk biscuits, problematic founders, and—based on a Facebook video from the Rocklin store—haunted rocking chairs, you can start your “Cracker Barrel countdown”: the chain’s new Rocklin location at 4660 Sierra College Boulevard is set to open on December 2, and it will be the chain’s second NorCal spot after a packed 2018 opening in Sacramento." - Eve Batey

I love this place. I really do. But oh my gosh! $150 for one day at a pumpkin farm is INSANE! Yes I got unlimited rides for 2 toddlers but that essentially just meant that they could go on 1 ride as much as they wanted because they couldn't do the race cars. There is n9 way that place should have cost that much. Then to make us pay more to have to ride eith my toddlers on the train as their adult supervision. This economy is impossible! Can't even have one nice family outing without having to break into savings! We had a good time though.

Always enjoy the food and service. Wanted to come for the last time before they make all the planned changes. What a shame! Always enjoyed the country store and would usually buy something on each visit. I will definitely miss Cracker Barrell...good bye country store and rustic restaurant. What a shame!!!!

this was my first time at a cracker barrel. I wanted to check it out after all the controversy. this place is great. I don't know what it looked like before all the hoopla but as of now all the service people were awesome and the meal was great. hopefully it didn't affect them that bad but they should fire that CEO that started all this.

Stopped by before Thanksgiving. Everyone was awesome, food was tasty! Couldn't believe the food came out so fast since we ordered an entrée and a breakfast dish in the middle of the afternoon. Was a great stop on the way!

Best chain diner there is, I got nothing to complain about when dining at Cracker Barrel. The atmosphere of the restaurant and store is always so welcoming and warming. The service from the waitresses to the manager all feel as if you are dining at a small mom and pop eatery. I love the food variety they offer, consisting of bbq and southern classics such as fried chicken, fried catfish, chicken 'n dumplins, meatloaf, poboys, and much more! Some of my favorite fixins are the fried apples, biscuits & cornbread(gotta try both), fried okra, fried pickles, and mac 'n cheese. I recommend ordering the classic sampler or a fried chicken dinner. Their fried chicken is some of the best you will try, they use the breast of a chicken but keep it tender, crispy, flavorful, and NOT dry at all. I highly encourage anyone to dine in here and try Cracker Barrel at least once! Their hospitality is truly astounding!

Good grub. On par with a Lumberjack's restaurant. You enter through a novelty gift shop to get to the dining area, or restrooms. The walls throughout are covered in a hodgepodge of signs and antiques.

Greeter was awesome. Waitress was sweet friendly and helpful. Plenty of food. Had to take some home. The greeter was smiley and friendly. The lemon herb chicken was delicious! Moist and very warm. Medium priced meal. But it was worth every penny.

Great service and food no matter what these reviews say about having to wait ten minutes or whatever it was it just seems like they don't understand how restaurants can be busy. The food was great so was the atmosphere and all for a great price. Me and my family came in right before closing and yet they still served us happily and our waitress was very kind throughout our whole meal even tho she was working after closing time. Even tho it was closing and we were some of the only people in there we got our food within no more then 5 to 10 minutes max and the food was great especially for the price and the time it was that we were ordering. Overall everything was great don't listen to these people on these reviews rating them a one star complaining about having to wait a little bit while a restaurant is busy this place is great and so is the food 5 out of 5 stars would recommend and would definitely come here again.

Cracker Barrel Old Coutry Store sells fun and seasonal merchandise as well as serves up good, old-fashioned Southern-style meals with seasonal items/meals. Sure, it's kitschy like a themed amusement park experience: tons of country decor but we've consistently had pretty good meals and good service. Winter brings out Thanksgiving and Christmas decor, entrees, and sides. On our recent visit, we had delightful fried chicken: moist meat, crunchy exterior, and good flavor. Plus, we had a tasty meatloaf! The sides are generally pretty good, too. Our favorites are the fried cinnamon apples, buttermilk biscuits, mac n cheese, dumplins, and cheesy grits.

Come here for the vibes and the nostalgia. The food is edible but I wouldn't say it's amazing. The biscuits are a bit under, the cornbread could use a bit of flavor. The Mac and cheese is decent but not special. I enjoyed the meatloaf more than I expected. Our family only ordered broccoli as the only vegetable and I found them unappealing. The brown gravy is straight up onion powder and salt made into a liquid. Kids meals are also decent, and I'm sure a child would eat their fill. The staff are all incredible patient and hardworking. They have to deal with picky eaters and huge tables. They were attentive, even with several large parties. The decor is fun and old-timey but I definitely wouldn't choose to come here.

We stopped in with a gift card, gifted by my mom for my hubby's birthday. We started out with a Southern Half & Half and Old-Fashioned Lemonade. I tried a sip of hubby's and it had just the right amount of sweetness, my lemonade was delicious as well! For dinner we ordered the New Big Easy Steak & Shrimp and Hashbrown Casserole Shepherd's Pie. Hubby enjoyed his flavorful filled meal, I tried a bite and loved the steak and mashed potatoes! I didn't think I'd like this casserole as much as I did, but it was smackin'! Tot loved it! Comes with their Hand-Rolled Buttermilk Biscuits and decent Corn Muffins. Cracker Barrel opened in 1969 and focuses on high quality ingredients. They know classic comfort food and their merchandise section has so many fun holiday decor and gifts right now! Even toddler and baby country clothes like an adorable cowgirl hat, boots, mustache, and barbell rattle! I want it all, lol! Great staff that serves you with a smile and location! She gave our tot a magnetic butterfly! We'll be back SYOY! :-)

It was my very first time coming here . Theres plenty of parking outside . The hostess was nice and she sat us down . Our waitress was sweet , I saw most people waiting a bit for their food , but we did wait a bit for our food but it seemed that our waitress had a bad leg, so we understood and were patient about it . But she still attended us very well. The food was fine . It is comfort food for sure . The decor was neat ! It was cool they had a store there too . I also like the outside of the restaurant to play some checkers. I ordered the grilled chicken tenders and it was very juicy and had flavor , with the plate I order it came with two sides I chose the cheese potato casserole and grits. That seemed okay . We also order the pot roast came with mashed potatoes that was always was good . The chicken noodle soup was very salty though. Overall it was a neat experience. It is a bit far from where I come from but was nice to finally make it out there .

Always a good place to stop at, especially if you need a place to boondock. We went here before the controversy, so I am not sure how the food will change. As it stands now, it is GREAT comfort food, and the service is outstanding. I am hoping the changes will just be cosmetic, with the quality of food staying the same.

This is my mom (age 67) new favorite place to eat. Where you first walk in you go through a cute little store where you can buy knickknacks for seasonal holidays or just for fun. And then you go into the restaurant which has cool decor throughout multiple periods all over the walls. The food is an American style and they have daily specials. Servers are always very friendly. Food I've had so far and what I would rate it: Meatloaf 4/5. Chicken and Dumplings 3/5. Chicken sandwich 5/5. Burger 5/5. Fries 5/5. Steak tips 4/5. Chocolate cake 3.5/5. Mac and cheese 4/5. Cheesy potato casserole 5/5. Mashed potatoes 4/5.

Came here 07/05/2025 w family Honestly who made this place only 2.7stars because it should be at least a 4. They just ordering the wrong thing. This store is connected to a small shop where you can do some post munch shopping. Maybe get something cute! We were seated right away, lucky. There is a lot of cute, vintage items to look for on the walls. It can never get old. We all ordered the momma's breakfast pancake ($13.5) which came with bacon and two eggs (you can let the waiter know how you like them done) and three pancakes with whipped butter. They will give you a small bottle of house syrup on the side. Don't be why to ask for more. The pancakes were super buttery, creamy, and DELICIOUS. I couldn't make it past two pancakes, brought it home and it was still good!! what a surprise. I also got the pink lemonade ($3.99). Very refreshing, not too sour. A great combo with the pancakes. But it also pairs wonderfully with any drink! I also heard that the campfire meals are delicious, will try it next time!! Overall, great experience. Just ask the locals!!

I know this review is late but yes, I do highly recommend Cracker Barrel. They have something for everybody. For those with a sweet tooth they have a great skillet Cinnamon roll which are individually in the pan. They are very moist and the glaze is the perfect amount of sweetness. If you love barbecue, they make a barbecue where the bone comes out of the meat so tender so decadent . They make a great slaw with just a right amount of sauce. And if you get their peach mimosa you're gonna love it because it is fresh peach purée mixed with champagne. This is a great place for the whole family and. Friends to enjoy time together. Their service is very welcoming and friendly. If you like shopping they have a nice little gift shop for you to look around and buy something.

Finally was in the area and decided to try out Cracker Barrel. Came during off hours so it was pretty dead which I didn't mind. Ordered the Cajun shrimp plate which came with a garlic bread and it was so good. Also ordered their onion petals which were yummy as well it did come last since the waiter forgot but didn't mind. I also got the steak plate with mash and Mac and cheese and it was good and well seasoned the steak. Their biscuit so so gooooood, I never eat biscuits from restaurants but this one I tried it and loved it! Got the soup of the day which was basically pot roast with noodles and that was yummy as well, very homey. Also ordered their Coca Cola chocolate cake and it was so moist and yummy! The chocolate syrup was a little too sweet for me but that is just my taste buds. Also got the Cinnabon pie slice and that was delicious as well! Can't wait to stop here again whenever I pass by! Servers were great as well.

Time for an update! This is the only location left as the Howe ave location closed. I come here about once every other month. We brought our mother here for Mothers day as it is her favorite place. They used to be very good value for your money but now they are like everyone else, $16-18 per entree and that includes breakfast. When they first opened, service was long and atrocious. I will have to say that has improved as I do not remember a bad experience in recent months. What sets them apart is a few items you cannot find anywhere else. Chicken and dumpling. Fried apples. Hashbrown casserole. Then I love the little gift shop attached. One of the few places I don't mind waiting because I love to browse. Some items are pricey but they always have a sale section.

What a nice relaxing place to have some very delicious wholesome stick to your ribs food! My son, brother and I had dinner at this lovely restaurant this evening. We were waited on by a super nice and very friendly waitress. She politely assisted us in getting our drinks and taking our order. The food arrived quickly and was served hot and fresh. Very yummy. My son and I had the chicken strips and my brother had a salad and the turkey soup. The food was so yummy! (Please see pictures below and let your eyes do the feasting) Great place and hope to be back asap!

Don't believe the elite reviewers. There is absolutely 100% no way the restaurant at this quality level should be ever given a five star review. When you see these elite reviewers giving them four stars and five stars you know what's going on. Went here with my wife the other day for the first time ever. We have never ever tried eating at this place in our whole life. We walked in the door and the main host sat somebody down and then disappeared for over 10 minutes while we were just standing there after he already saw us. We looked into the main restaurant area and just saw him standing there, looking around for minutes . Finally, after more than 10 minutes of us, just standing there without even getting a welcome, he sat down at a table in Dominic's area . We sat down for almost 15 minutes and watch the waiters and waitresses go round. Not once within 15 minutes, did we ever speak to that waiter in our area or any waiter for that matter. Nobody greeted at us. Nobody asked us for drinks. Nothing, Nada. We basically get up to walk out and the other waitresses look at us and say nothing to us. My wife goes out to the car and I stay in the retail store because I wanna talk to somebody about the situation seeing this. This is our first time ever there. We waited another 10 minutes for somebody to get to that counter and then the guy just ignored me. Needless to say, we will never ever ever ever go back to this place or any of them Their hospitality is on mark with their wokeness now. It's unwanted. It's cold and they have no manners. They don't appreciate their customers. Just outrageous We seriously do not recommend anybody going here especially with the CEO that they have now. If you go here and patronize this place, you're supporting the way that they treated us and you're supporting the CEOs direction as well and what she's all about.

I stopped into Cracker Barrel while I was in the area because I've been looking for some old fashion candies. I hadn't been to a Cracker Barrel in quite some time, but it's very similar to what I remember. The parking lot was large and with plenty of spots. It serves Cracker Barrel and other nearby restaurants. I didn't end up dining in the restaurant, but I browsed the store portion and they had Halloween items on sale and plenty of winter holiday items out on the floor. After taking a quick peek at the items available, I focused on the candy area. I ended up grabbing a bunch of old fashioned candy sticks that were 10 for $2 as well as a big bag or Werther's and Butter Rum lifesavers. The staff there was really friendly and helped me find prices on a couple items before helping me check out. I thought the variety of items was great and the pricing was great too.

A staple of its trade, Cracker barrel doesn't try to be more than it is and honestly, that's alright. Our party of 6 stopped off here on the way up to Lake Tahoe from SF, and it served as a great mid-point pit stop to satisfy everyone's curiosity. Would I go back? If only for the novelty of going to a Cracker Barrel, but honestly, that's really all the reason you need.

Look, I don't usually wax poetic about chain restaurants, but Cracker Barrel isn't just a restaurant. It's a warm hug wrapped in sawmill gravy. I ordered the Grandma's Sampler--minus the "sampler" bit, as I went full-bacon, no regrets--and, as usual, *chef's kiss*. The eggs were scrambled to fluffy perfection. The pancakes were sporting that impossibly thin, golden edge of crispiness that should honestly be illegal because it's so delicious. The bacon was the kind of salty joy that makes you briefly consider writing a will just so you can list this meal under "final wishes." And the hashbrown casserole deserves its own legal protection under California heritage law. Everything came out piping hot and on time, which, frankly, as an attorney, is more than I can say for most court filings I see. Service was friendly without being overbearing--no excessive chit-chat, no "So what brings you in today?" Just good old-fashioned attentiveness and drink refills that seemed almost clairvoyant. The gift shop, of course, remains an enigma: equal parts candy store, toy store, Civil War museum, and your grandmother's attic. I walked out with a jar of apple butter and a mild existential crisis. All in all, Cracker Barrel Rocklin (or really almost any Cracker Barrel) remains--at least for me--the undisputed champion of breakfast, brunch, or "Brinner" (i.e., breakfast for dinner) and gravy-based decision making. I come here regularly and will be back many more times.

Say what you want but Cracker Barrel has consistently good food, every time we have gone. They just changed up their menu and simplified it. I had the special chicken fried turkey which was delicious. So juicy and good flavor. We stop on Thursday or Friday nights on the way to Tahoe. The service is ok, but it is also Cracker Barrel. Last time we were there a customer was having a meltdown because she had to wait, and the same server was nice and attentive to us.

Food and service is always great. But I'm still trying to figure out who the CEO got to keep her job after blowing $700 million dollars???? They should have just given it away.

We came in on a Tuesday at 2pm. It has been forever since we have been to a Cracker Barrel and never been to one in California. As soon as we walked in we were welcomed by several associates. The restaurant has the same unique decor as usual. Our server (Ruby) was friendly and gave us nice suggestions. We ordered the three item classic sampler with mash potatoes and fried okra, chicken fried turkey with hash brown casserole and fried okra, and a pitcher of peach mimosa (never seen this item before!) The mimosa pitcher was smaller than I expected (but still enough for two) Mash potatoes good but cold, chicken dumplings cold, meatloaf kind of dried out on the edges, fried turkey -nicely crisp and hot, okra fantastic. Biscuits served with butter and apple butter - as good as I remember:) We are glad we finally tried them out again. Our memories of how good they are out of state are still there.

Really good! Husband had the special shrimp and grits. Great additions to the menu. Pleasantly surprised. Service good. Food really tasty. Great visit.

First time to a Cracker Barrel tonight, and I told my wife I I have zero interest in returning. Earlier this day due to a commercial she expressed her desire to give it a try; to which I complied for reasons that should be clear to a married man. Food was comparable to Dennys, at best. Service staff had us feeling uncomfortable and to get a refill on water was next to impossible. The daily special advertised online AND in store at the greeter was not available at 530 on a Sunday. No thanks

Wow! Talk about an absolutely mouthwatering pot roast! I've been dining here since they first opened and have always enjoyed their fried chicken and savory meatloaf. Today, I decided to try the pot roast, served with creamy mashed potatoes and rich, flavorful brown gravy. It was incredibly tender and perfectly seasoned with carrots potatoes and celery --so good I practically licked the plate clean, especially with those warm, buttery biscuits! My husband ordered the chicken tenders, but he wasn't a fan--he found them too thin and overly crunchy for his taste. That said, after tasting my dish, he quickly agreed the pot roast will be his go-to next time we visit. Our waitress was very friendly but a bit lacking in speed and attentiveness. But other than that, I'm definitely returning for round 2 of that pot roast!

Cracker Barrel served up a breakfast so indulgent it felt downright filthy--in the best way. Those griddle pancakes were thick, soft, and begging to be smothered in warm, sticky syrup before we devoured every last bite. The hash brown casserole? Hot, cheesy, and just the right amount of crisp to leave us craving more. And the grits? Smooth, buttery, and sliding down easy. Then came the biscuit Benedict, a downright sinful creation--flaky, buttery biscuits cradling tender poached eggs, their golden yolks bursting and running down your chin. That rich hollandaise? Thick, velvety, and dripping over every inch, making it impossible not to lick our lips. And let's not forget the mimosas--bubbly, sweet, and going down easy, leaving us warm, buzzed, and ready for round two. With service that made us feel pampered and taken care of, Cracker Barrel gave us a breakfast experience we won't stop thinking about.

Came for dinner last night and honestly was super disappointed. First of all, I took a bite from my chicken and it was raw... That alone is ridiculous but to add to that, the waiter forgot one of our orders, commented on how much food we were ordering, and never came to check on us during our dinner or fill our waters. It wasn't until a different waiter came over to our table and noticed our empty drinks and so kindle asked if we would've liked a refill, which then our waiter came by at the end of our dinner to ask about everything. I was dissatisfied to say the least

I've been seeing Cracker Barrel all over my fyp lately and we decided to make a stop on the way home from Tahoe. It was the best decision!! We arrived about 4:30pm on a Sunday. We were greeted upon arrival by Joe who was super awesome! We ordered the bbq ribs with mac n cheese and coleslaw & the country fried steak with the hash brown casserole and green beans. Both entrees came with biscuits and corn bread muffins. The food came out super fast like ~10min and was super satisfying. Ribs were very tender!! Dawn was our server and she was very kind! Joe also hooked it up with two free dessert vouchers (we took home 2 orders of the biscuit beignets) and a brownie with vanilla ice cream at the end of our meal. Sooo good! We browsed the gift shop at the end of our meal and there were so many cute knick knacks, toys, and more! We will definitely be back! Loved the food, customer service, and atmosphere.

We came here for a birthday brunch. We had to wait for about 45 minutes but during that time we were able to look around the store. There were a lot of cool things at the store. We had a great waitress. She was very attentive. I ordered the chicken fried chicken with corn and mash potatoes and gravy. It was a big portion and I took leftovers home. The dish was good. I was hoping for the fried chicken but they ran out.

Came on Veteran's weekend and it was a 45 mins wait. They ran out of fried chicken and meat loaf. We had such a great waitress. The food actually took long to come out but worth the wait. The portions are huge. I ordered the biscuit and gravy and it was yummy once I mixed the white and dark gravy. Most of the food was on the salty side. Will I come here again? Yes

After browsing through the store we were immediately seated for a late lunch. Wayne, our server came by and offered water. We hadn't been here in quite sometime so we forgot how many options are offered. Needless to say, it took awhile to order but Wayne was patient and offered some options. The food was what was to be expected (comfort). The dining room was nicely decorated with a huge fireplace. I saw no signs of "woke" other than the new logo on the menu, however the old logo still stands out on the front of the restaurant.

Waitress was a bit slow in all senses of the word. Wife's burger was undercooked and there was a piece of plastic in my country fried steak. Dessert was not ready when we had it ordered to go and I gave up trying to buy a soda because they were mostly mixed up. Even the damn survey for the pickup dessert order they gave me crashed so this is actually the second time I'm typing this out. Disappointing and unlikely to be back.

Been here several times. Love the fried chicken but I'm not going back. Off my list of go to restaurants! Yuck.. Read the health violations section of YELP for this location and it looks like it just gets worse! "Standard not met: Demonstration of knowledge; food manager/handler cert. Standard not met: Toxic substances properly identified, stored, used Standard not met: Warewashing facilities: installed & maintained. Standard not met: Food obtained from approved source Standard not met: Food in good condition, safe and unadulterated Standard not met: Floors, walls and ceilings, clean & maintained. Standard not met: Sanitizing of equipment & Utensils." I'm fine taking YELPs unbiased research at face value.

I was in th Rocklin, Ca store a few ago prior to any changes. It was my birthday and my husband asked where I wanted to go. Staff are incredible, great food and what always draws us there is the fun little shopping I get to do afterwards. I love the the trinkets, I always find a top I "need", we buy old time candy at Christmas to fill everyone's stocking EVERY YEAR, and every visit I pick up, items I am out of; fried apples, syrup, pancake mix, moon pies, apple butter etc. (things that are nostalgic to me as they have an authentic taste). If they take away the store, I will not go back.

Just last April, Cracker Barrel Old Country Store abruptly closed two stores in California, leaving only five stores in the state, and the Rocklin location standing as the only location in NorCal. I enjoyed their breakfast during my last visit, and I decided to pay a visit, "just in case..." As you enter, you'll notice the "country store" side of the operation, which displays clothes, souvenirs, knick knacks, canned fruit, posters, and practically anything with a "southern" slant. It's late August, and already much of the merchandise is centered on Halloween and Christmas. In a clever marketing twist, you will need to walk through the store to enter the restaurant. Cracker Barrel is very serious about breakfast, as their menu begins with breakfast. I chose from the top of the menu, and went with the "Old Timer's Breakfast," which seemed the right thing to do on this Monday morning. The dining room is absolute GIGANTIC and it's separated in the middle by a low partition. If you love wood, you've come to the right place, as the floor, the furniture and much of the walls are wood, or wood paneled. The furniture is all tables, as there are no booths or a counter. The spacious dining room centers around the charming fireplace - which wasn't lit on this warm August morning - and is "country," quirky, attractive and interesting. The walls are adorned with posters, tools, pictures, guns, farm equipment... you name it. You could spend all of your morning just admiring the interesting decor. From the "Cracker Barrel Classics" section of the breakfast menu, I started at the top, and went for "Old Timer's Special." The menu describes this delicious breakfast as, "Two farm fresh eggs, with your choice of breakfast side, PLUS thick skinned bacon or smoked sausage patties. Served with biscuits 'n gravy." True Southern cuisine in Rocklin! My meal began with two small, thin patties of smoked sausage, each a little larger than a silver dollar and maybe a quarter inch thick. The sausage definitely had a delicious, smoky flavor, and the smoke taste enhanced the sausage and didn't overpower it. The sausage was tender, juicy and delicious, but each patty only made for about two bites, which is only a "taste." Cracker Barrel offers several choices for your side, and like to keep my breakfast on the simple side, so I went for hash browns, which I truly adore with any breakfast. The slab of hash browns were average size, perfectly grilled to a crispy, medium brown on the outside, with a white inside, which made for perfect hash browns. My two eggs arrived perfectly fried sunnyside up, as per my request, which matched perfectly with the hash browns, especially when I added some Cholula Mexican Hot Sauce, which is the perfect breakfast hot sauce, especially with eggs. My breakfast included two small, freshly baked biscuits, with a cup of sausage gravy in a small basket, with made for a sunning presentation. I cut each biscuit in half, placed both on my plated and topped them with the gravy for a delicious, Southern taste sensation. The glass of Blue Moon beer added a refreshing "fruity" touch" and served as both my appetizer and my dessert. Cracker Barrel Old Country Store is serious about breakfast, and I enjoyed a solid, delicious, "Southern style" breakfast at this fine restaurant. I loved the breakfast, but I was slightly disappointed in the size of the portions, as I feel, for the price I paid, they could have been a bit larger. Despite that small gripe, the breakfast was delicious, and the price of admission wasn't totally out of the Rocklin ball park. Solid four-star dining.

I'm going to give this place some love, me and my partner went here for Brunch. So literally right around the corner you have Chick-fil-A and their grilled chicken sandwich combo with small drink and fries is around $15, insanely bad value. At Cracker Barrell, you are going to get a HUGE portion for $15. I ordered the 6 piece chicken tenders w/ two sides and 3 sauces and it was around $15. I think it came with two biscuits too I couldnt tell they brought us so much food. This place has a lot of options and it's hit or miss you kind of have to trial and error what to order. Things that are not that good are the ham (too salty). Don't get the scrambled eggs (taste not fresh), get the sunny side eggs are definitely freshly made from an egg. I found the fried apple sides way too sugary and mushy. So enough about the negative, there are so many good items here, bacon is always reliably good. The french toast we got was delicious. The hashbrown casserolle was super good! I like the corn, it was plain which was fine because most of the other dishes have lots of flavor. This place is seriously underrated. We got two HUGE meals for $25, but I cheated and had a coupon code for free chicken tenders, so the real meal was around $40 , and I'm a nice tipper. So without any coupons we got two large meals with drinks for about $50 out the door. Definitely going to come back here but just every once in a while, don't want to get fat.

I like old southern style food. I also like the little shop they have out front with all the neat goodies and old style candies.

Friendly, fast service and really good food! We've never had a bad meal or a bad experience at a Cracker Barrel restaurant. The store is always fun to look around in while waiting for your table. We always seem to find something to purchase. The parking area is spacious and easy to get in and out of. There are quite a few handicapped spaces, which is nice to see. We will definitely be back soon!

2nd time to be disappointed. First time chicken was extremely dry, no taste. Promised a coupon, never received. Today, chicken fryer was broken so no fried chicken. Ordered other stuff, just not tasty. Service was poor, had to ask for muffins included with meal, and more coffee. Had to share a knife because she forgot. All together, won't go back.

Service and the food! Have eaten here about 10 times. I live about an hour and a half south of here. I have eaten at about 100 different Cracker Barrel throughout the United States and this one is one of the best.

I moved from south. Boy, was I happy to spot Cracker Barrel while driving on 80 East. I love their menu. Because I like fried items. Quite a list on barrel bites. My absolute fav has been Fried Okra for a couple of decades now. I go for souther fried chicken. This time I had chicken fried chicken with dumplins and a couple sides. They have quite a selection on sides alone and they have premium sides for a little bit more money. Service was top notch. Nothing to beat southern charm and service. Southerners are not pretentious at all. Loved their store. Such a collection they had for summer. I went on a rampage. Not just trinkets. Beautiful clothing collection. Ambiance was immaculate. Lanterns on tables. Spotlessly clean area all around. Enjoyed a pancake latte as I felt sore from Caramel latte and other run of the mill lattes

If you're from the Midwest you get it. Shopping around while waiting for your table, the golf tee game, biscuits, and depending on your age, hypertension. There is a lot of salt in the food so this is not a regular spot but every few blue moons it is an adventure. We have only had pleasant experiences here.

This is a must for if you are in the area and are a fan of Southern cuisine! I tried the cinnamon roll skillet and my mom had the ribs. Both items were delicious! The consistency of the cinnamon roll dough was just the right amount of softness and the glaze was not too sweet. My mom claims that the ribs were very tender to the point where the bones fell out! We also tried the famous Cracker Barrel biscuits and they had the perfect texture, which was moist, light, flaky, and we even got to dip some pieces into the leftover cinnamon roll glaze and that paired nicely. The staff were very welcoming and helpful with menu options. Overall, it is a great place to hang out with family and friends and I would recommend you give it a try.

A few years back, I was in Texas and I stopped at the Cracker Barrel for the first time ever in life. The food was decent. But nothing noteworthy. The Cracker Barrel in Rocklin, California absolutely sucks. The food was bland. The waitresses were not very nice. I kind of dumb. I will never go back.

We've been here 3 times for lunch and have never been disappointed. Waitstaff are always amazing. Food is delicious and comes out of the kitchen pretty quick. Our server was helpful in getting our order together. We had a big breakfast and were looking for something just a little something to tide us over until dinner. I don't think we're going to have dinner! We ordered the cheddar broccoli side with a side of mac n cheese and a side of chicken strips. 3 way split. So good and so filling. We always feel welcomed here and have a good time, get full and roll down the road to our next adventure!

I love this place!!! i'm giving five stars to offset the 2.5 they have! I'm so confused how expensive, trash restaurants can have high reviews and trash food and service but this place had tasty, flavorful hot food with great service and has such a low review. FOOD: We had a GREAT hot meal here when we went!! Biscuit beignets - bomb! Really good! Heavier than the real NOLA beignets but bomb. Chicken strips - HOT and crispy!! Homemade sauces for dipping! Hashbrown casserole - SO flavorful and amazing! Fried apples - so tasty and served hot! Mashed potatoes with gravy - BOMB biscuits and gravy - bomb! Tons of tasty food for a reasonable price. My mom and grandma basically hate eating out and all restaurants but they liked their meals and said they would return. STORE: i love their damn store so much lol. CUTEST baby clothes!! Good deals! great candy and cute stuff! 10/10 recommend - our experience and food was great when we went

This is the 2nd Cracker Barrel I've been to (the other in Ohio) and the store and dining area look identical. My favorite dish from here are their pancakes! Soooo delicious. French toast is just ok. Tried the hash brown casserole before and it was too hard, not crispy but hard. Tried the seasonal Granny Smith apple tea and that was pretty good. Service is usually good, just wish they were more consistent on allowing certain customizations or substitutes to our meals, for example a server allowed something before but this time another server said they couldn't do it that way.

Love this place. Great comfort food. Staff is very friendly and much nicer than other mid-range restaurant. Portions are generous. Wish they were closer to where I live.

My mom and I have been here a couple of times and both times the food has been pretty good. The last time we were here, it was pretty busy. It took the waiter a few minutes to get to us. The waiter that me my mom had was pretty nice.

Another great visit to Cracker Barrel. Plenty of seating, waiter (Wayne) was awesome and drinks were always flowing. Short wait for our food to arrive. Love the store!!

My server was Amy and she was the worst server I've ever had, not only did she have horrible breathe she had the worst table service! She not only stunk but it looked like she hadn't showered I 1/10 recommend, never recommend her as your server

We LOVE Amy! She is my favorite server she is so sweet and makes me feel right at home. She even remembers my drink order and food order. She remembers the way I like things. And gives her honest opinion on what she loves best. She needs a raise!
