As we ate, multiple staff members checked on our beverages and make sure we didn't need anything. Though the dining room quickly filled up, I thought the service stayed top-notch throughout our entire meal.
To me, every dish had a flavor that seemed homemade. The eggs and bacon from the Old Timer's Breakfast were cooked perfectly, the pancakes that came with the Southern Fried Chicken were delicious, and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed side dishes like mac and cheese and fried apples.
Though I thought the fried chicken was a little dry for my taste and the Chicken n' Dumplings weren't for me, I could see myself eating at Cracker Barrel whenever I'm craving the satisfying warmth of comfort food.
I thought the chain's prices were reasonable and the amount of food was a great value. I took quite a bit home and it all reheated well. Since I'd definitely come back, I would rate my experience a nine out of 10.
