Ordered meatloaf, 40 minute wait so I switched to chicken. It was delicious. I think my waitress was learning, a little slow to ask and deliver refills.
Check store for lots of markdowns 40 or 60% off. Halloween and thanksgiving are out. Bring on Christmas!
Unique store attached to restaurant.
Portions are plentiful. Chicken sandwich was delicious. Meatloaf was good, broccoli and Mac n cheese, was served kind of cold.
I recently visited Cracker Barrel for breakfast and ordered the steak & eggs, requesting the steak medium rare. Unfortunately, it came out overcooked and quite salty, so I ended up only eating the eggs. I mentioned it to the manager, who acknowledged it briefly but didn’t offer much beyond that.
In the past, I’ve had really great experiences here, which is why I chose to bring guests who had traveled from out of town. This visit didn’t quite match the standard I was used to service felt a bit stretched, coffee took a while, and a few items from our order were missed.
That said, I understand places can have off days. I’ll be back to give them another try because of the consistently positive experiences I’ve had here before.
Cracker Barrel in Lakeville, MN was GREAT! The staff was so accommodating and friendly. The food was tasty and well portioned. The gift shop staff were so helpful. My daughter wanted an item that was out of stock. The staff offered the display, which was in perfect condition. My daughter was so surprised and happy. Great job, guys. You were worth the visit!
This is a truly iconic place to be. Cracker Barrels are very consistent. They’re essentially the same carbon copy store from place to place.
You walk in and are greeted by an interesting and fully amusing gift shop of sorts, everything ranging from seasonal displays, whole gadgets, an entire candle assortment, some clothing, and my favorite: the candy/snack section. This place had a wide assortment of vintage soda (“pop” where I’m from”) for less than two dollars per bottle.
Once inside, you notice that this place has an actual live wooden fire in the hearth. The only of its kind in the restaurant business.
All around the walls, are conversation starters about vintage objects of America’s past.
Most iconic, arguably, is the “triangle peg game” that every table has next to its candle-lit lamp.
If you like southern cuisine and a taste of “old country America,” this place is worth a visit.
