Cracker Barrel Quality of food

Did a online order on may 19, 2020 for 2 pc fried catfish, sides mashed potatoes chicken&dumplings and turnip greens, biscuit... Catfish was ok have had much better.. Mashed potatoes looked and tasted like they was cooked 3 days ago put in trash.. Chicken&dumpling no sign of chicken very dry and tough... Has been better... Biscuits very hard could not eat... So out of that meal all I could eat was the turnip greens & 1pc of the fish... Eat there often but after these last 3 online orders being not good at all just had to say something.. Don't have the money to throw away food and still hungry...

I ordered the homestyle fried chicken dinner with sides. Everything was good, except the chicken was most definetly left over from lunch. The crust It was very hard. I like crunchy hot fried chicken, but this was truly old, couldn't eat it. Sad thing is, my son gave me this gift card because so many of us are unable to get together he wanted me to have a...

Cracker Barrel Dinner?

Restaurant was REDICULOUSLY sweltering HOT and uncomfortable from totally unnecessary fire burning in fireplace. Management should be aware location is Florida, after all.
Food less than appealing. Gravy on country fried steak, mashed potatoes rounded out what seemed to be afternoon leftovers.
Unable to get refill on water from overworked server.

This makes our 3rd complaint filed in the last several years. We again visited our local Cracker Barrel restaurant at 7:30pm on February 25, 2020; there were approximately 20-30 customers/ guests dining around this time. The server took our order of - Grilled Chicken Tenderloin 2 sides, Chicken Dumplings 2 sides, and Haddock 3 sides. Upon placing the order...

Pitifully understaffed. The restaurant has about 40% capacity filled and the wait was 15 minutes. We have been seated along with many others who have not being to be served. The table we are seated at is loose and not screwed down. The fire is not kept and the tables have not been bused. What a far cry from the good service at other cracker barrels

Very disappointing experience at Cracker Barrel on I-55 in Jackson MS Saturday night. We were seated 20 minutes and never had anyone come to take our order or get us drinks. A waitress walked by us 5 or 6 times to take care of others who were seated after us. This restaurant is in need of major help. Declining customers due to poor services. Last time we...

I'm a server at this store. I've been working here for a while. And I've always been dedicated to my job. The only thing that demoralizes me constantly is the hypocrisy of management. Just last year, I saw the GM get fired for sleeping with his employees. Obviously this is against company policy pretty much anywhere. And the rest of the management...

My family went this evening to have dinner. After being seated the waitress came in 15 minutes to ask about drinks. 15 minutes later they arrived. 15 minutes later she came back to get out orders. 45 minutes later our meals showed up. Meanwhile other people got up and walked out due to this. We ordered dessert and 15 minutes later waitress informs us they...

My family and I love your restaurant and have been coming for many many years. But today my experience was horrible and embarrassing. My famly's food was serve to us cold. When the manager came to our table she was very rude. She said "what do you want me to do" very nasty. She was not polite. She didn't say i'm sorry. We left there feeling very bad. I hope...

Cracker Barrel Online order not ready on time and not correct

Firstly - I am a long-time fan of Craker Barrel! I also want you to know exactly why I am very dissappointed. Placed online order on Dec 22-2019 at 1513 hrs for pickup at 1600 at store #42- Columbia, S.C. Arrived at store at 1555 and was soon told (turkey dinner was not available, no phone call)! I said I would take grilled chicken instead. At 1620 hrs I was contemplating asking for refund and asked to see a manager and I spoke with a very busy young man that was unaware I was waiting on my food, he took my receipt and dissappeared into the kitchen. My food arrived at 1630 hrs by another employee who had no idea what was going on. Upon unpacking and checking our food order I was even more dissappointed at the inaccuracy to fill our order. I am listing the accuracy issues in the order of our receipt, photos attached below. Fried Turkey Dinner (not available). Meatloaf dinner (meatloaf charred and no mac and cheese pics attached). We ordered bisquits and got nothing. Vegetable plate (house salad with ranch on side, we got nothing).in pictures you will see my receipt and food photos at least what we got. Normally you guys do a great job and we have always been happy - tonight we are at the polar opposite of that.in total our check was $42.81, I just dont feel like this is somthing normal to your business and I wanted someone to know what happened.

Went in to eat and ordered kale salad and Brussels sprout salad also squash casserole was also not available due to the fact that the truck did not bring in the ingredients for the last 2 days according to the server. The fried chicken that was ordered was very greasy . Spent 55.00 and was very disappointed. We have eaten at a lot better restaurant than this one in Sevierville Tn.

I was fired simply because I responded "whatever I know I didnt do anything wrong" to a manager that talks to people any kind of way.. I have never been written up or anything. I feel I should take legal actions for pain and suffering because the while situation was unfair. I was fired in the middle of lunch without even being able to be heard. Every since...

I believe that this crackel barrel needs a new GM because he constantly goes around disrespecting everybody that work there. last Wednesday on 12/12/19, I caught the GM taking out new dishes from a box which came off the truck and put it on the kitchen line and didnt even wash it and the other dishwasher named Connor was beside me when he did it, and that...

I'm not a happy camper. I'm disappointed that I cant leave less than 1 star. My waitress was very nice and customer friendly. However the food I was served was beyond terrible. Probably without a doubt the worse food I've ever been served. I ordered a Western Omelet the order came with toast and hash browns with a side of grits. Everything on the plate wa...

My parents, my wife, and my children visit to this location often, and have done so for years. We arrived around 1:45 - 2:00 pm, and after waiting over an hour 1/2, my father first, and mom second went in to check the list, because nobody but us were left outside. Mom was trying to explain to a young male host, but a rude floor manager interrupted multiple...

I was at the Cracker Barrel on the Beltline Road location, which I patronize frequently, today November 16, 2019. I ordered the the Double meat breakfast, as I always do for breakfast. I asked for one pancake instead of biscuts. The waitress, who I did not know, said nothing about that there was a $3.99 upcharge for the pancake. I definitely would have paid...
