Cracker Barrel
We have always stopped at them when traveling between Wisc. & S.C. Good food at reasonable prices.

Their prices have gone up and their portions have shrunk. Like every where else.

Ate breakfast at local one this am. Any other meal is risky, call it fast food.

sad to say but our local one isn't near what it used to be in food or service.......

Always liked Cracker Barrell, it's the kind of food I grew up on.

20 years ago.....really enjoyed them. One of my favorites.
Now.....I hate Cracker Barrel with great passion. Long waits, bland food, cold & noisy, slow/bad service, high prices, small portions.

Not a fan . So so food and poor service . Ours is located just off I95 at a tourist trap area . Would refer to go to Arby's if I have to choose and I not really a fast food person

True story:
Last time we ate at cracker barrel, wife wanted to shop after we ate. I stepped outside and a poor fellow was flat on the concrete in front of the entrance. EMT's were doing CPR. I don't know if he had eaten there or was coming to eat there but I'm certain he was dead.

Hope he left a huge tip!

The food can be so-so but nothing to brag about, the food is mostly microwaved on the plate before serving, terrible noisy acoustics, one has to shout to converse with people sitting at the same table.

Crapper barrel near us is a tacky gift shop with a mediocre restaurant attached.

I have never even seen a Cracker Barrel but anytime something gets to big it goes down hill...

I think I've been to a Cracker Barrel once. I don't remember what I ate there, but having never had it before, I bought a jar of sorghum syrup in the gift shop. It didn't last long, I'll just say that much.

Years ago we would go some what often and it was not great but good and resonable cost and relatable food
Several weeks back we had some old gift cards and decided to use them they were ctacker barrel cards
Agree food and portions nothing like it use to be
both of us a few hours later where having stomach pain and running to the bath room
The only common factor we both had mashed potatoes at cracker barrel as a side dish
Hit my wife a lot worse I was close to hauling her to the ER that bad
I don't see a follow up visit to them any time soon

Howard Johnsons, Sizzler and Union 76 Truck stops were my favorites in the 70's

There are several in Utah, all along I-15. I think we've eaten at all of them. Never a complaint.
They must be really awful if you have to wait an hour to get a table and then it's so crowded you have to shout. And all their servers and the kitchen are run ragged.
Maybe you should find someplace where nobody eats.

Reminds me of what the great New York Yankee Yogi Berra once said about a night club "it's so crowded no one goes there anymore".......😀

It's where I purchased my pink stiletto Christmas tree ornament. Love to browse the little country store. Food has always been great. But, I've only eaten at southern Cracker Barrels.

We have one at 84 and Cole road. Always good food and reasonable service.

The last time we ate at one, was the last time we will eat at one.

The one in Mt. Vernon, IL. must be the exception. Clean, great service and to me good eating. Yes it is a little loud but that is the décor in the building.

We have a local Cracker Barrel that has been OK as far as service and quality goes. When we were in Springfield, MO, we were seated next to Charlie Pride and his wife. I recognized him, and told him I liked his music, had a good chat. He surprised us by paying for our meal on his way out! The waitress told us after he was gone.

They have changed. We used to go to local one fairly often. Then they completely changed the menu. Used to have a small ribeye steak. It is gone with the new menu. I can’t remember the last time we ate there.

all the complaints seem to have come after they started serving alcohol.....

We haven’t been to one lately. Seems like the quality has slowly declined

Can anyone tell me about a national chain whose quality has improved while lowering prices? Especially since 2020?

I like to make Cracker Barrel a meeting place when I'm traveling because you can count on the bathrooms being pretty clean and the back part of the parking lot is always pretty secluded, so you can transfer items from car to car without too much hassle. I'm not a huge fan of the food and the stuff they sell is pretty overpriced. I wish they would have different things in different areas, they sell the same "stuff" at every location.

The chain took a nose-dive way before 2020.
The quality at Cracker Barrel tanked long before the prices skyrocketed. The rising prices just made it even less palatable.
Of course, that’s just my view. Everyone gets an opinion. For anyone who is still a Cracker Barrel fan, I’m glad you’re still pleased with it. I miss having a reasonable non-fast food option to stop and take a break at long trips.

Buc-ees will soon take over the country for travelers, they already have the Southern travel routes almost covered. They are the one to watch grow, it's amazing inside their business plus it's a not a price gouging outfit.
