"I arrived around 9:20 PM after an exhausting 11-hour drive, feeling famished but not wanting to be "that customer" who walks in right before closing. Before heading in, I double-checked if it was alright to dine in; I was perfectly fine with takeout if necessary. The staff was incredibly friendly, and I felt a warm welcome like never before. My server, Jack, was outstanding—he took great care of me and recommended some of his top three dishes, from which I chose the Meatloaf. The food was absolutely delicious, and I want to give a shout-out to the chef and kitchen staff for their quick service, especially as they were preparing to close. Thank you all so much! The cashier, whose name I unfortunately didn't catch, was also fantastic—efficient and courteous, really exemplifying great customer service. If you’re still unsure about whether to visit, the exceptional customer service alone makes this place worth it!"

Delicious homestyle cooking! The staff were quick, friendly, and attentive. The prices are reasonable, and they even have a gift shop! What more could you ask for? I had the chicken steak with green beans and carrots, and it was absolutely tasty!

Best pancakes in town. Also I love the unique items in the little shop there. Years ago I bought my baby a mini hope chest that I absolutely fell in love with. It gave her nursery such character. I actually decorated her bedroom around this one unique piece. And it was not extremely expensive either! Just a wonderful place all around. View menu

I absolutely adore Cracker Barrel! The food is fantastic, and I enjoy browsing through the gift shop. The peg game is always a fun challenge, and I can't resist the swing chairs on the front veranda! While I come primarily for the delicious meals, I often end up spending more time than I intended in the gift shop. They always have the most charming (and reasonably priced) seasonal decor!

This is the best place to eat! The service is fantastic, the food is delicious, and the prices are great. The sweetest touches in the business! My server, Jose, always brings my toast exactly how I like it for my egg yolk. I can only imagine how his back must feel from working here. I highly recommend asking for Jose; he truly provides the best service around. I don’t know how this young man manages it all – he’s simply the best! 10/10!

We absolutely love Cracker Barrel! This visit was similar to our previous ones, but it was even better! Our waiter, Carrie, was fantastic—maybe you'll be lucky enough to have her, too! She truly went above and beyond and was a delight to talk to. The atmosphere had that charming old farmhouse vibe that we adore. We even played a game involving tea and a square, and let's just say I didn’t do so well at it! :P I ordered my usual: eggs, bacon, hash browns, cinnamon apples, and biscuits with gravy. Delicious! This Cracker Barrel location definitely deserves a 5-star rating! View menu

It was a busy Friday but we checked in online and got a table 5 minutes upon arrival Before being seated I found the most adorable Halloween salt and pepper shakers. Which I later purchased. We both got the Friday fish fry special and it was delicious. Our waitress Olivia was very welcoming and kind and super accommodating. Our meal was delivered by the manager Howie, who commented on our “ink”and thought our tattoos were awesome, we thought that was cool! All in all, it was a great great experience. Fish fry for Two salt and pepper shakers, hand sanitizers, and pumpkin spice haystacks plus tip was $38. Cracker barrel is always a win!

Great place to eat. Great midwestern home style hospitality and food. The food is all stuff like your grandma would make you home made, before chain fast food places existed. Breakfast, lunch, supper, all great items to choose from and you’ll be hard pressed to get something you don’t like. It’s hard to get a bad meal here. Wait staff is generally on top of things and performing well also. Prices are also fair and in line with what you’d expect. About the only problem I’ve encountered is the inconvenience of a wait, because everyone else beat you here, and tables are full. If so, while you wait, these places have a gift shop with a lot of cool and cute items, and most will carry some things...

"the place broke my head! I knew they had the best nativity at the weekend and see how people post it on the fb, so I had to try. when they arrive there, this place is very beautiful looking and really has the feeling of a chic steakhouse instead of a pizzeria. obviously they are a very good Italian place that has decided to discuss their names with the pizza. my man and I both ordered their regular cut, and I would suspect it was around 14 ounces. I got medium and my man was medium. I added tweeping on my eyes and he added mushrooms. the wobbles were excellent, but my man said that the mushrooms had to have been skilled so that they were not as good as he hoped. the star of this steaks and the reason is replaced the drover as my favorite prime rib in the subway is the au jus. it wasn't just a brown liquid that had a taste. it was thick, closer to heavy than water and so tasteful it was like swallowing the steak in a warm brown sheet of joy. I have never enjoyed so much in my life a first-class nativity. the whisky primary in drover is excellent, but it will never be pk for the jus. the salat was simple and the buttered green beans that were the veggie option tonight were skillful and they can say in taste. but even if everything else was just meh in comparison, the steak stole the show and I will definitely enjoy again that melt in their mouth delicious again soon."
