Cracker Barrel Old Country Store -Food CA (Near Temple)

5 /5 Josh Biddly: If I could give them 6 stars I would. I meet my mom for lunch and I havent been to a Cracker Barrel in several years. There was about a ten minute wait for the table witch I thought was fine. Great thing about Cracker Barrel is the environment both on the patio, in the waiting area and the dinning area. The waiting area is loaded with all kinds of excellent gifts and random things that just about anybody would love. Candles, t-shirts, Post cards, jewelry, keychains, toys, candy, specialty sodas. Just about everything is 25%-70% off witch I think is awesome. Ill be going back on payday to get several things myself. Then we were shown our table and the service was way over the top. Ive been to streak houses and fine restaurants that didnt have this kind of service. My waiter was Zachary. Guy went above and beyond and I had a phenomenal experience. I ordered the NY Strip Steak with loaded Backed potato and broccoli and the Fried Mozzarella cheese bites with ranch. Really really good! They served their buttermilk biscuits and cornbread muffins. With blackberry jam and salted butter. That was really awesome and very tasty. The steak was really phenomenal. The loaded potato surprised my expectations. Bacon strips, not bits. Scoop of sour cream and a scoop of butter. I ate the whole thing, peel and all. Zachary was the kind of cordial and overly attentive and polite that you expected from multi diamond hotel and restaurant staff. I was amazed and very impressed. So much so I had to ask to see the manager. Rair for me to do that with service. Waited less than 2 minutes and I spoke with Little Cindy. Apparently there are two Cindys. She was very kind and very encouraging. She said they strive to deliver just such experiences to everyone. I not only believe that, I know it and it shows in every facit of their restaurant. The bill was $50 for two with an appetizer and two drinks. Their tea is also really good. Im blown away and sold. The area offers Chilies, IHOP, Olive garden and Cracker Barrel. Its not even a competition in my honest opinion. The other places are not even on the same level in anything, let alone everything. I had the best dinning experience in years for far less than a $100. Thats very rare in my experience. Would absolutely recommend to everybody. Im definitely going back and soon!

5 /5 Jason Sanchez: I got the campfire beef meal… it was ok, I don’t think it’s worth $16, not much meat in there. I’d say $10 at best. The meat was tender but for $16, id make it at home with the amount of meat I can add in myself

5 /5 Warrior Presents: Was an experience for sure. It did take a few minutes for them to chat with me once seated (18 minutes). Food was good. All good was exceptional except for the chicken fried chicken. It was overcooked and rubbery. I wanted to see what this place was all about. Would love to know what everyones favorite meal here is. I would go back but I would order something else.

3 /5 April Forshee: Been to this restaurant a handful of times over the past few years but todays experience is by far the most disappointing. Wanted to try the new menu item, hash Brown casserole, and believing that we would get the same portion size. My husband ordered the sausage and I ordered the bacon. Much to my surprise, the bacon casserole, it was a much smaller portion than the sausage casserole. I ordered a side of fried apples and I got 3 apples. Our server seemed like she was uninterested at being there that day, and so she phoned it in. Spoke with the manager who was a very nice guy. However, he seemed apathetic about the whole situation. He did state that he would talk to his cooks about portion size and making sure that the food comes out hot and fully cooked.
