Well its Cracker Barrel if you don't know what you are getting I can't help you ha. This location is like all the others and produces good quality food. While they say country food like chicken and meatloaf it lacks the seasoning of a mom and pop southern place. They definitely appeal to their base of children, and older diners. I do like that as you travel they are consistent. My fav thing is the oven baked chicken breast. It comes with seasoned veggies or steamed broccoli and a choice of one side. It is pretty healthy for a casual dinning restaurant. The only reason I give this location 4 stars is the service is up and down. Sometimes good sometimes just ok at best. It has never been our right bad.

This used to be my go to place when crossing the boarder. It still packs up but the service and quality of food is my what it used to be. I had an issue last time I came and today they actually served me some burnt bacon that falls apart, by the time the replacement came to the table, the eggs/hash browns etc.. was cold I'll think twice next time about coming here. Such a shame Angelo

Most expensive breakfast in town. $160 when all was said and done! This isn't because of the food, it's because of that awful gift shop that just has so many things we absolutely loved and dresses for my wife, jars of goodies, candies, toys, knick-knacks, rocking chairs, games, oh for the joy of stuff stuff stuff! We'll be back, Cracker Barrel, and will use your plentiful parking, easy access off the road, to have more yummy food and buy more goodies afterward! Men (or equivalent other half thereof), guard your wallets! :)

First time here & the food was good..loved the chicken fried steak, greens, mac & cheese got to sample off my husbands plate...I myself ordered the Chicken & Rice w/ sweet potato, loved the chicken & Rice only suggestion there was so much wild rice & not enough gravy next time ill order more gravy....loved the baked sweet potato w/ some brown sugar & butter, seriously amazing, small potato but for me it was just the right amount of delicious, the staff was very friendly, and can't wait to go back..its a must if you never been. Big kuddos to the manager gal who came up to check up on us several times, super nice & friendly will come back & visit & eat again

My boyfriend and I have heard nothing but good things so we wanted to try then out . We showed up at 11:45 am and we're called to be seated at 11:55 which was not bad at all for how busy they were . After about 2 mins of waiting to be seated . The hostess sat us instead of waiting for someone to come get us . We sat down and waited , 15 mins later still no one said " hi be right with you " or anything of the sort . No drinks were taken ... all tables around us were being serviced . We ended up walking out ...

I have eaten at Cracker Barrel once or twice before (long ago), and just had to visit one before heading back home to Los Angeles where we don't have any nearby. It is a store with lots of knick-knacks and a restaurant with good old-fashion country food. There are a bunch of rocking chairs you will see as you walk down the long porch/patio to the front door. There are some for sale. Such a cool country feel to it. Sit a spell and relax. You can play checkers while you wait. We had to wait for our entire party to arrive before we could put our name on the list to be seated. Once they arrived, we were seated rather quickly. They were busy and our food arrived at the table cold. We had 7 in our party. The service was okay, I think our waitress was there and then disappeared and then reappeared later on. My husband ordered a breakfast combo with scrambled eggs, sausage, & hashed browns. It was rather basic. I got the Blueberry Pancakes, they were really, really, really delicious! They bring out individual bottles of maple and blueberry syrups. I got the blueberry syrup and was surprised that the syrup contained real blueberries! It was deliciously awesome! My daughter ordered french toast with maple syrup. If the food had arrived promptly to the table, it would have been ideal! When you are ready to settle your bill, you have to take the ticket to the cashiers in the store to pay. The store is full of cute things! There were a few items I would have bought, but I restrained! The pig salt & pepper holder was cute! I would have liked to taste the Divinity although it would not compare to my mother-in-law's fresh divinity!! They had their Easter items out as well as a religious section of goodies. There was a big poster announcing the sale of the new Casting Crowns CD, which I thought was rather neat. If I ever return to this Cracker Barrel, I sure hope the food is hot when it is brought out to the table! I should have told the manager when she walked by and asked us how things were. We asked for more syrups and she then went and had the waitress bring them out. I guess she herself doesn't get things for guests. I was really hoping this would warrant 5-stars, but it just didn't measure up.

We come here whenever we're in town... Love the rocking chairs out front... And the store at front as well, with all it's random items.. Came here on a weekday, late breakfast, and we were able to be seated right away. The place has a southern, casual, backyard patio type feel... Large dining area, clean... The few times we've gone here, I've only tried their breakfast items. Their menu is a bit large... So this time I opted for a healthier option and ordered fresh fruits, tomatoes, and scrambled egg beater.. No complaints, it is what it is.. But I was disappointed that their fruit bowl was soooo TINY!... I did try bites of their biscuits and pancakes, now those were tasty. Both light and fluffy. Yum! Try their hash brown casserole. It's cheese and yummy. Service was friendly and timely. In conclusion, the food itself is good, but the atmosphere is what makes this place worth trying.

Had breakfast here on Sunday. It was very busy so I was surprised they were able to seat us right away. As we were shown to our table, my boyfriend pointed out there was some syrup residue on the table. The hostess asked me if I wanted her to clean it. Did she really have to ask that? Why not "Sorry about that, I'll clean it right away!"? Ugh. Then she comes back with a dry napkin, like that's really going to clean up sticky syrup. Whatever. Once our waters came, my boyfriend wiped the table himself. Great service here... The restaurant was very noisy. For my breakfast I decided on the Sunrise Sampler with scrambled eggs (well done), biscuits & gravy, fried apples, hashbrown casserole, and a sampling of sweet ham, sausage, and bacon. I told the server I didn't need the grits. It was a lot of food! The eggs were cooked right and the hashbrown casserole and apples were yummy. I took a small bite of the sausage patty and didn't care for it. The flavor reminded me of beef jerky. I enjoyed one biscuit with butter & jelly and gave the other biscuit to my boyfriend. I didn't try the sausage gravy. I also ate half of my boyfriend's pancake with my cinnamon apples of course! I liked my breakfast overall, but I can't rank it above any other breakfast establishment. I do enjoy walking around the Cracker Barrel store and looking at all the different things.

I used to live in the Deep South and miss the food. Sadly, this Cracker Barrel is not the place to go for authentic Southern food. I ordered the chicken fried steak breakfast with biscuits & gravy. The eggs were OK, the biscuits were subpar, and the steak itself wasn't bad--though it seemed more microwaved than fried. However, the country gravy was truly unfortunate. I like thick gravy. However, it is possible for gravy to be too thick. When I tried to dump the little bowl of gravy on my biscuits, the gravy didn't pour out; instead, a gelatinous slab of albinoid gravy slid out of the bowl and settled atop the biscuits, admirably retaining the cylindrical shape of the original vessel without so much as a wobble. Even this could have been forgiven, if the gravy had not been utterly bland, without a hint of savory, sour, sweet, bitter, umami or any other scent or flavor detectable by human taste buds or olfaction. It was the gustatory equivalent of white noise. In terms of texture, imagine a mouthful of smooth yet flavorless phlegm. The pecan pie was acceptable, but we made the mistake of ordering it a la mode, so it came with a little ball of freezer-burned ice cream that hinted at artificial vanilla flavoring. The kitschy decor reflects nostalgia for the rural South of past decades, though without any representation of African American people or culture. The place is soulless in every sense. Country & western music plays constantly.

First and foremost I love Cracker Barrel ! But this Cracker Barrel has to be my favorite ! The service is always spot on and the meals are always so good and comforting :) My favorite servers are the Cindy's ( Cynthia Ray and Cindy aka spike ) if your new to a Cracker Barrel and want to try one thing get the Hashbrown casserole

My sister and brother-in-law had not eaten at a Cracker Barrel in 10+ years so we were excited to stop here on the way back from the rodeo in Wickenburg. Shopping, family atmosphere, great food... I was stoked. I eat at CB regularly in the east valley so how was I to know this was going to be AWFUL?! My brother-in-laws eggs were wrong, DH's ORDER was wrong, my egg sandwich wasn't cooked through at all, had no mayo (which is standard) and the mayo that was brought out tasted like lard, my sister's fries had NO flavor and my stepson's kid burger was burned to a crisp. We got DH's order fixed but the rest wasn't worth complaining about. Drinks sat empty, apologies were made for the cooking time (we sat a LONG time with no food while maintaining good spirits). I will never go to this location again and it's safe to say that my sister and bro-in-law will probably never eat at a CB again. Way to go!!

This is only for the manager because our server Shontay was superb. We came in for dinner and the food wasn't even Cracker Barrel quality it was cold but after a 8 hour drive we just ate it. I ordered a peach cobbler to go which was literally 4 peaches and a dime sized piece of crust. My husband went inside to ask a cashier was this a normal serving size and the cashier directed him to the manager. My husband asked the manager the same question and he said yes before my husband could get the question out then quickly turned away as if my husband was bothering him and was not the least bit apologetic. How rude! Then my husband requested to speak with the manager again because he didn't get the chance to really speak with him regarding the serving size of the peach cobbler. Needless to say the at that particular location the serving size for peach cobbler is barely enough for a toddler, which cost $4. This is more than likely the reason this locations food is less than edible because the staff has to work with such a sour apple for a boss. I can't imagine if he treats paying customers this way how is he treating his staff? So whoever you are Mr. Manager please take off your moon shoes and astronaut costume come back down to earth!

I would love to give Cracker Barrel 2 stars because the food was boring. However, this Cracker Barrel doesn't deserve to be villified just because I'm not a huge fan of corporate food. I went, I ate, it was pleasant. I really found nothing to make me want to go back. But I also found nothing to complain about. That's about as far as I can go with this. Sorry!

Standard country kitchen food for your morning Cracker Barrel is a good go-to place when you have a taste for a heavy Midwestern breakfast. Good number of fried, egg, potato, meat, and salty sides to hit the spot. Can get a little loud with all the conversations in a fairly large, open eating area. The service is usually very good and you aren't left waiting for your food. There is often a wait of 10 to 20 minutes, but it's cool since you can wander the country store part of the restaurant in the interim. Tons of knickknacks and old-time candy to peruse to occupy your time. Not a haute cuisine place, but one you will enjoy for those family breakfasts where you just want to spend time with each other over a heap of food. :o)

My sister and her family met my family at Cracker Barrel, Sunday morning, 8/2/15, at 8:30. We hadn't eaten there in a long time , because of the food being served cold on previous occasions. Well, Cracker Barrel...you got us again ! I read these positive reviews and think, "are these people reviewing the same restaurant I am ?" Here's the run down: Scrambled eggs...barely warm. Hash brown Casserole...cold Bacon...barely warm, but it was crispy and good tasting. Coffee...good. I ordered my French toast with blueberries...it came without anything on it. I asked for blueberry syrup...never came. The French toast looked and tasted as if it had been in the kitchen from a previous order and gotten old and cold and on top of it all...it was horrible !. I didn't try to get my meal corrected since my sister and her family were anxious to get back home to Tennessee, so I nibbled on my meal. If I had said, "would you please put some blueberries on my French toast , it would have probably been delivered to the table about the time they pulled into the drive of their home in Knoxville. Cracker Barrel , you can chisel this in stone: We'll never eat at your pig swill restaurant again. How anyone with a brain , who has a basic idea of how to cook a meal, mess up a simple breakfast like that is beyond comprehension. Yuck !

I really enjoy going to this spot well, it's the only one I've been to so I don't have another to compare it to. The first time I tried it I was ecstatic. The restaurant in itself is fun and inviting while the food is equally enjoyable. You can't beat the huge portions. The apples are a sweet treat and the biscuits are filling that come with breakfast meals. The boneless chicken breasts are very tasty and you get enough to feed two. A nice place for the family.

Cracker barrel is definitely one of a kind. I want to always be able to bring my son for a Sunday breakfast or any time I need some good Ole country cookin. Fish fry Friday is great, the lighter menu chicken is great, the yogurt parfait, breakfast... pretty much everything.

I have always wanted to try this restaurant and finally did while traveling. I was so disappointed. There food is greasy and so unhealthy. The chicken was equivalents to a fried chicken Pattie you can buy a bag of 10 for 6 bucks in your local grocery isle. The corn muffins were tasteless. Coleslaw was ok but you get a tiny little portion. I will never go back. The music was annoying too, some gospel, some old school country.

Our kids love the food at Cracker Barrel. When they're away from Phoenix they lament, rhapsodize, reflect on the heavenly food last served to them at Cracker Barrel. Darrin loves the catfish and greens. Orders it for breakfast, lunch or dinner every time he's in town. Chrissie enjoys the light, fluffy pancakes. Although Jr Jake prefers pancakes at Coco's he's smitten by the general store filled with candy, curios, and toys, toys, and more toys. He's amused by the checker board waiting for the next set of players to sit and play. And he's delighted by the peg board at each table waiting for him to invent his own fun. We ate dinner, then breakfast the following morning at CB. - Exceptional customer service. - Enchanting general store decorated for Christmas. Uncommon, yet affordable tree ornaments and toys. - Mediocre food.

Cracker Barrels are not all created equal. While the vibe at the Goodyear location is great, the service leaves a lot to be desired. We were served by a "Rising Star" (he hadn't yet earned any gold stars for his apron). He was sure nice enough, but kept coming back to clarify our orders, we had to go get our own napkins/silverware because he gave us our food but not with the necessary silverware, and he was very slow to come back to check on us and refill our drinks. Worst of all, he brought AC's salad without the deviled eggs and didn't explain that they were out of cooked eggs until after we brought it to his attention. He apologized and seemed sincere, but the service left a lot to be desired. The food we did receive was up to Cracker Barrel standards, but the overall experience was really disappointing especially after looking forward to my yearly Cracker Barrel experience (they don't exist in California) since last spring.

Great comfort food. I recommend the country style chicken. You can't go wrong with the sides. I like their fried okra, mac n cheese and country style green beans. And don't forget to wash it down with sweet tea. Melany our waitress was the best. Friendly, personable, and knew just when we needed something. (Refills, extra napkins, to go boxes). Also love the country store. They have great unique gift ideas and fun candy and toys for the kids.

Well...you just have to visit a Cracker Barrel once in a while. We were driving from Phoenix, returning to California when the four of us decided to stop. We hadn't been to one in awhile and it was that same as the others. Friendly folks, good food and a good price. I didn't care for their sausage that much, but their bacon was quite good. The scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly. The shopping in the country store after eating is always fun.

Wish they had Cracker Barrel. In California. Went there twice while in Arizona and loved it. 1st time midday not crowded good service great food. Quick hot and good. 2nd time waiting told us 15-20. What I like is when they call a party they then tell the next party you are next called when table is available that way they are ready. They were moving people in and out fast. Got seated took order and got food fast again. Love this place.

The service is wonderful and the food is great! The price is good for the portion size and the amount of items in the meal. My favorite is the Grandpa Fried Breakfast! Fried chicken, eggs, biscuits, grits and hash brown casserole all for $8-$10. (i don't remember exactly)

A trip to Arizona is no complete with out at least one meal at the Cracker Barrel. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you can't go wrong as everything on their menu is scrumptious! I think the best way to describe the food is good old fashion American. With items like Biscuits & Gravy, Meatloaf, Chicken and Biscuits, Grits, ... The wait is never unbearable, and they have a cool little store to look around in while you wait for them to call your name. That's not to mention their fleet of rocking chairs, and benches to sit on, in addition to simple board games like chess, and checkers to make the wait go by faster.

Cracker Barrel is an old reliable - always good service and good food. Wait times can be long on holidays (as it was on New Years Day - but we knew that) - cannot complain that everyone wanted to eat at noon time, now can I? On a follow up visit a few weeks later with another couple, we were seated within fifteen minutes. The hostess was pleasant, the waitress was pleansant and the food was like it always is - good and warm. No complaints here - bacon and eggs and toast and some kibble just to keep me happy (after all my wife tells me I'm a dog). This is a happy place where everyone comes to get theri happy on - one success after another. Here I just sit and enjoy - mommy says I'm a good boy!

Wow....well....besides the food looking mediocre and the beautiful antiques that are on display the cracker barrel in Arlington TX off Bowen Rd/ I20 is a joke, but not a very funny one. #1- IF any patron were to peek into the kitchen area, you wouldn't make it to the bathroom quick enough and would inevitably vomit on the already dirty floor. I guarantee you some of the food splatter on the walls etc. Are 6 mos old. Besides that..they treat any employees that haven't been there 10 yrs like crap. I was promised 35 (plus) hrs per week with average nightly tips of 100-200. YEA RITE!!!! I'm scheduled the nxt week for 9.5 hrs!!!! And the most I EVER made was 63 bucks in a day!! How can anyone live on that????? And what's really funny is there "NOW HIRING" sign still up!! Grow up cracker barrel!! Give ppl a chance to actually make money!!

Here's a challenge for you: try being a vegetarian and go to eat at Cracker Barrel. Vegetable plate my buttinsky--there's pork in that there dish. Yep, my wife ordered their plate with four vegetables and two of them were loaded with pork. Look, I'm not dogmatic about vegetarianism--if you want meat, go for it (it's tasty), but if you are offering a veggie plate at your restaurant, at least mention somewhere in the menu that it's mixed with pig meat. . . About the best you can do at a place like Cracker Barrel (if you want to do more than graze on salad) is to resort to Starchitarianism. In that case, either order sides or get something like their French Toast plate with the meat on the side to take home to the dog. It's really good tasting and will fill you up for a nice price. Otherwise, this Cracker Barrel is a great place to eat--just not really for us. If you're not veggie, there's gonna be tons of great food here for you.

Visiting from California on busines. Came here on thanksgiving day and ordered the thanksgiving meal. Came with turkey, dressing, a slice of ham and two sides you can pick. I went with mashed potatoes and hash brown casserole. Got cornbread and homemade biscuits. Everything was good. Our waiter was attentive. For 10.99 you get more than what you pay for. I stuffed myself! I asked for boxes, I wasn't going to leave my leftovers. It was too good. Then my waiter asked what kind of pie I wanted....what! Pie too!!! Why don't I have one of these by my house???sad. The Pumpkin pie was on point! Like my mom makes.

We recently visited 2 days in a row since we had a visiting family member here who happens to love Cracker Barrel. The food was consistent both days. I had the French toast one day and the hashbrown casserole and bacon the next. I did have a bite of my husband's pancake which was super good too. In my opinion the French toast and pancakes are the way to go when visiting. Our service was inconsistent with the first visit being great and the second being just ok. Overall it was fine. The food and the price are ok and I will visit again.

Ok so this is an amazing place for Breakfast! If you love country styled comfort food then you picked the right place! 3 stars for over all food and price If I could score the bathrooms here at this location it would be 1 star. I'm not sure if they were overly busy in the kitchen or on the dinning room floor but they neglected the bathroom while I was here. It was gross! But like I said the food was great but not the "truck stop" bathroom

I ordered chicken and dumplings with sides of green beans and lima beans. We're from Oregon and don't have this chain so I was excited to see what it was all about. The chicken was dry and lacked flavor but the dumplings were the worst. They were bland thin chewy squares of flour with water that appeared to have no levening or salt. The green beans weren't the worst. However the lima beans were outstanding. The service was good and the place was clean and pleasant.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly I enjoy eating out in different restaurants on a regular basis. After a long day of shopping I decided to stop at the Cracker Barrel, Hadn't been to Cracker Barrel in a long time but every time I drive past it's always packed so I thought the Cracker Barrel would be good food choice. WOW was I wrong!! The service was slow, and the food was tasteless and cold. It was the worst dining experience I've had in a long time. Even though we ate very little off our plates it wasn't until - the cashier asked me "how was the food"; that anyone even showed concern. I told the cashier it was "terrible it just wasn't good". I wasn't going to speak to a manager initially however; the two cashiers talked me into speaking with a manger. After waiting 20 minutes for a manager, I walked away with one thought on my mind. I will never go back again.

I've been here a couple if times an I think I leave less impressed every time. The food tastes canned, frozen, or from a mix. The service is lackluster at best. Today our food was cold and dry... How does that even happen when the food took less than 10 min to get to the table... To me that makes it seem like it was all precooked and reheated to order. I suppose I am not their target clientele, regardless I still have left every time I've gone feeling like I wasted both calories and money.

Cracker Barrel is one of those places, which, for me, falls under the heading of "Comfort Food". To be sure, portions are far from small and typically American ... as in "America in the 1960s", when breakfast meant three eggs, pancakes, sausage, ham or bacon, toast, and enough butter to paint the walls of a restaurant yellow. And Cracker Barrel does its best to carry on that tradition. This is NOT the place to go to to eat healthy; and I'd wager, Black Bear Diner has healthier meals. If you're a diabetic or a vegetarian, this is the place to go to commit suicide. Apparently, 70-80% of Arizona's sugar imports go to this restaurant and I'm almost positive I saw a truck filled with cows being delivered to the rear of the building. (Of course, I jest: everyone knows they consume so much meat here, they have their own slaughterhouse on premises). If your blood sugar level hasn't shot up to 600 reading this and your personal trainer hasn't slapped you for looking at this page, then you'll be happy(?) to know, that the food here is tasty, plentiful and will only likely put 2 or 3 pounds on your hips by meal's end. Service is usually attentive and polite. There's nothing to fault the place as far as attitude and professionalism is concerned (and isn't the lobby with all those cute knick-knacks just the bees' knees?!). If President Obama and First Lady Michelle have their way and Americans are compelled to actually exercise and do their part to cut down on medical costs, places like Cracker Barrel will go the way of the Pony Express and 29 Cent a gallon gas. For now, enjoy the blast into the past and the extra dose of cholestorol meds you'll need after eating dinner here.

I can remember going to Cracker Barrel with my Grandmother about 30 yrs ago!! I don't remember the food, but I do remember the memories with grandma! Now all I hear is how great the breakfast is! Wife and I went to Cracker Barrel this past weekend. She has gone there a few times in the last year. For myself it's been a while. So I ordered their two pancake stack with a side of biscuit and gravy. Wife had two eggs and bacon. I was not to fond of their biscuit and gravy. Biscuit seemed to be on the dry side, and the gravy was like some kind of gel?? Not much taste. I did however really enjoyed their pancakes! Wife enjoyed their eggs and bacon, she likes her bacon extra crispy and it was perfect. It was a good time and we will probably come back.

Never again. The apple french toast (~$12) and the sampler (includes a little of the chicken dumpling, sugar crusted ham, and meatloaf - ~$14) and both were huge disappointments. The only saving grace, for me, was the cranberry-pomegranate (or something similar) iced tea, which wasn't too sweet (yay!) and very refreshing (~$3). Other important info: chain restaurant, country store and rocking chairs were fun, overwhelming menu, cleaning could be improved, and slow service.

I dont like writing bad reviews, but I have to warn you. This was the WORST experience ever at a cracker barrel. First time service was bad and they were out of dumplings. No big deal until we received our dinner and everything was cold, looked like it had been microwaved. Decided stupidly to give this location a second chance this morning only to be served raw CHICKEN and stale biscuits with raw potatoe casserole. When I told the manager he had the nerve to argue with me about how raw the chicken was. Um sorry I cook chicken everyday I know that pink, bloody chicken breast is not a good sign. We will stick to our pinnacle peak and I-17 location even though its on the other side of town...

What can you say - Cracker Barrel serves consistent southern comfort food. All I need to drive across country are gas stations and Cracker Barrel restaurants. The Goodyear location is often full during popular dining times and days (Nascar in town or not) . 6:30 Saturday morning is easy to get a table. Wait until 8:00 in the morning and you will probably get on a half hour wait list. They have plenty of outdoor rocking chairs to enjoy the usual awesome Arizona weather while you wait. They aren't so popular to rock away the time in July though. I love their fried okra and turnip greens. Not as good as my grandmother made but still worth my money.

Went for breakfast this morning and I am STILL full!! :-) Plenty of food for the price and they have AWESOME old school candy! There were a million and 42 people there today and we were seated in good time. The service is always good...even if they refill my coffee just after I got it the way I like it with 16 sugars and 6 creamers!! Good service will make or break it for me and these folks are on top of their game. And I only had to kick one little old man outta one of the rocking chairs so I could have a turn! :-)

I dined here while on vacation in AZ. It was my first time and I had high expectations but it was just ok. I really wanted a steak for breakfast but it wasn't on the menu which is a little strange to me for a place that specializes in breakfast. Catfish is on the menu and it was stinking up the joint and not really the food I want to smell when eating in the morning. I had the french toast and it was just blah...nothing special. They give you little individual bottles of syrup that are so cute but unfortunately the taste isn't that great. CB has great ambiance and that's about it.

We love this place. We only get to come when we visit friends in Arizona. The food is grub. The hashbrown casserole is our favorite. I am now a huge fan of thief coleslaw!!

I love Cracker Barrel and jump at the chance to grab some grub when I see it around especially their breakfast. I would totally 5 star this joint if it wasn't for the service we received on this visit. Just pretty forgetful and slow, which is funny because I remember our server serving us over four years ago and back then she was fantastic! I think that most people have gone to a Cracker Barrel location at one point so I won't bore folks in this review by going over the bits I love. I'll just say that their biscuits are outrageously good, tea is always perfectly sweet and their breakfast is like mom's....All that goodness at a fraction of the cost for the portions you get. And I always love the knickknacks they have in their store and is a great spot for picking up some quirky gifts.

Cracker Barrel is one of my favorite restaurants! They always have the best comfort food. My five year old daughter loves their pancakes and my husband usually gets the special of the day which is always different and so tasty. I love mama's pancakes with peaches. We always have great service when we come here and I can never leave without walking through the store.

OK food for a chain restaurant. The egg dishes did come with three eggs instead of two which is nice. The biscuits were less fluffy and more salty than I like. The prices are a bit steep for what you get too.

Love this place! I wish we can get some Cracker Barrels in Cali! had the Mama's french toast meal.. so Delicious! I thinks my only complaint would be the sausage patties, I get the size for the kids meals but for an adult meal? Anyway, can't go to Az without a stop at good 'ol Cracker Barrel, will definately be back next time I'm in town!

Oh, the horror, the horror.............. Okay not really. More of a disappointment and a bummer. In a nutshell- apathetic General Manager acting as expeditor sent out food that should not have gone out to clients. He should have looked at it first- nothing major, a baked potato cut down the middle with a large black "tumor" of rot hidden beneath the skin at one end. Could happen to anyone at home, I didn't want a free meal, but I thought that as expeditor he should be more alert. His response was no response until he waited on me at the register, where his comeback to the issue was "it was an eye." No, it was not a potato eye- they are external root sprouts and not black- and even so, what restaurant serves potatoes without trimming eyes? He proceeded to grow increasingly more condescending, apathetic, and overtly rude albeit being rude using "kind" words- the dismissive "thanks for coming and you have a nice day" said in a tone of voice that essentially translates to "F off." He just would not take ownership for the oversight, and obviously is not a person to learn from his mistakes. He's in the wrong business. I have had salads served to me with the huge copper staples from the lettuce crate in my salad and expected nothing but for the prep cook in the pantry to use more diligence when washing and chopping lettuce. I didn't even want an apology, just a simple acknowledgment that there was an oversight that needed to be more closely heeded before sending food out from the line. All I got was attitude from a young man whose age I double, but who believes that he knows much more than I do and whose authority is not to be challenged. My server Emmy was great, she got a 30% tip from me. That manager netted a phone call to Cracker Barrel customer service. I've eaten at Cracker Barrels all over the USA for 21 years now, and have never been addressed or treated so rudely as my experience today. Hopefully corporate in Lebanon, TN will sort this fellow out.

This is by far the worst Cracker Barrel in Arizona. I have been to the Glendale, Buckeye and Kingman locations in Arizona and this place is AWFUL on so many levels. Why I have given it more than a couple tries is only because it is five minutes from my house. The location in Glendale by Westgate is light years better. First of all the wait staff at the Goodyear location is slow and dimwitted at times, on more than one visit I have had to find my own water. Secondly the portion size is very small, probably a good thing eating at cracker Barrel but you get at least 50% more food at the Westgate location. Thirdly the food has come served at different times, cold, overcooked, undercooked, and of course the completely wrong order. I feel like (probably due to the food being poorly cooked at the Goodyear location) that the food is much fresher at the Westgate location compared to the Goodyear location. I love Cracker Barrel but will avoid the Goodyear location and drive 15 minutes out of my way if I have to have Cracker Barrel.

Although I'm really not that much of a breakfast person, I was surprisingly impressed with the quality, service and overall vibe of this place. It is fully decked out like an old-fashioned, southern-country joint and based on the large crowd it is definitely a hotspot to hit up for breakfast on the weekends. One of the only reasons I deducted a star is because although the wait staff was friendly, they were a bit "pushy" and really wanted to get our order in. I mean, I can understand that you're busy, but when I just sit down and haven't even opened the menu yet, it probably wouldn't be polite to ask me "So have we decided yet?" I ordered a traditional breakfast (Mama's Big Breakfast I think) with scrambled eggs (and cheese), really thick bacon (my favorite kind) and pecan pancakes (AMAZINGLY GOOD). My friends pretty much ordered the same thing, so I'm not sure how the rest of the menu is, but I was happy with my food. I really want to try what they have for lunch and dinner!

I was on vacation from Southern Calfornia and we ate here for breakfast. I have never been to a Cracker Barrel. It was so good! The French Toast and Hashbrown Casserole was delish! We are so coming back here to eat next year!

It's Cracker Barrel standard. Good food at a reasonable price. They know how to cook eggs TO ORDER (which can be something of a rarity). They don't come out over easy or over medium no matter how you actually order them and the ingredients are good for the price. The place gets busy...especially in the winter and fall, but no problem now. If you want a quality breakfast at a good price, stop on in.

Cracker Barrel has been our family's favorite breakfast restaurant for 30 years. We've eaten at this Cracker Barrel dozens of times. Not any more. Something changed. They started serving our breakfast cold. We sent it back and it was still served lukewarm. We figured they had a bad day so the next time we politely ask them to make sure our breakfast was served hot. It was servied cold again. We talked to the manager and he apoligized. We tried eating there three more times and every time it was served cold. So, we stopped eating there. We now eat breakfast at the Waffle House where they we watch them make our breakfast and serve it directly to our table HOT. We miss the Cracker Barrel but I expect a hot breakfast and they can't seem to provide a hot breakfast.

I have been eating at Cracker Barrel restaurants for years and always enjoy the southern food. This location I visit the most and have always received great service. The only issue recently was that I noticed that our plates were dirty. Like dried food stuck to the bottoms and sides of the plates. This happened not once, but the last few times that I have been. I first complained to the manager, who was very nice, but the problem did not get taken care of. I visited their website and let them know about what was going on. Apparently there was a dish washing issue that needed to be addressed. The corporate office called to apologize and sent me a coupon for two free complete meals. Very nice gesture, and much appreciated. We went back recently to use the coupon for breakfast, there seemed to be improvement, at least on this day. I am glad because I freakin love their catfish !!!

Why oh why don't they have a Cracker Barrel in Califonia??!! My friends and I were in the Phoenix area this weekend and this was first on our list to eat! We were excited to eat our breakfast here! We also love browsing through the country store and sitting outside in the rocking chairs. I hope one day this chain will expand to the Pacific Coast.

I stopped in here for lunch yesterday with my boyfriend. We thought it was hilarious that every handicapped parking spot in front of the place was full and that some of the other cars in the lot had the handicapped stickers hanging from them. No, we don't think its funny to be handicapped. We just thought it was hilarious that we'd never been out this early in the day together during the week for lunch. Aside from being the youngest people here for lunch, we were seated quickly and our waitress popped over to take our drink orders. She was very nice and though I don't drink lemonade, I thought about ordering it the two times she asked if I wanted one (haha). Our food came out relatively fast (a group of men across from us started up with a, "Did we have a special order? They got here after us!" then 30 seconds later their food for four was at their table). Of all the Cracker Barrels I've been to, this was probably one of the nicer ones. I'd definitely go back.

Please note: This restaurant has NO affiliation to the cheese. This place is country cute and the food is pure comfort food. In fact, I decided to try the oooey-gooey most fattening food on the menu. The dumplings were good. The mac and cheese was okay. The fried shrimp very heavy...I didn't care for the batter. Good on chicken bad on shrimp. The best thing on the place was the hashbrown casserole which was just okay. The customer service was great which is why I gave the place three stars. I doubt I will be back here again once in a lifetime was enough. I will say this about the artery-clogging heart attack on a plate restaurant. You don't go away hungry!

I have some vague memory of Cracker Barrel from my East Coast childhood, but I hadn't been to one in decades. There are no Cracker Barrels in Los Angeles, where I live, or anywhere on the West Coast for that matter. Which is just sad. Last year, on a road trip to Arizona, some friends and I were looking for a place to stop for lunch. When we spotted the Cracker Barrel right off the 10 freeway, my pals got VERY excited about going there, since they're all from the South and all had fond memories of Cracker Barrel. The four of us had a delicious meal of Southern cooking and then amused ourselves in the kitschy gift shop. This year, we knew we'd be stopping there again on our way home from Arizona, and we had two more people in the group who were only too happy to join us in our gustatory pilgrimage. I had the "chicken fried chicken" (a breaded breast fillet served with white gravy) with fried okra, green beans and cornbread stuffing, followed by blackberry cobbler and ice cream. Plus the best biscuits I've ever had anywhere. Heaven! The service was friendly, timely and attentive. My sweet iced tea glass was always full. Everything on the table was perfectly prepared and exactly what the person wanted. There wasn't a single disappointment in the entire meal. We all left full and happy. I know we'll be back again next year. There needs to be a Cracker Barrel in L.A.

I love this place, rocking chairs for your wait, shopping before you eat, comfort food...it is woman's dream restaurant. Great for families, plenty of food for the price, great service. Although I will say I have a lot of crap that I bought at cracker barrel and have since either tossed or donated.

Everytime I visit the AZ I always stop here for breakfast on my last day. I've ordered almost everything on the menu. It's really home cooking country food. Please order a milkshake when your done with breakfast, it always hit's the spot. As for lunch and dinner I couldn't tell you anything really. I only eat breakfast there.make sure you visit the store before you go, you'll end up buying something unique. Peace.

Well its Cracker Barrel if you don't know what you are getting I can't help you ha. This location is like all the others and produces good quality food. While they say country food like chicken and meatloaf it lacks the seasoning of a mom and pop southern place. They definitely appeal to their base of children, and older diners. I do like that as you travel they are consistent. My fav thing is the oven baked chicken breast. It comes with seasoned veggies or steamed broccoli and a choice of one side. It is pretty healthy for a casual dinning restaurant. The only reason I give this location 4 stars is the service is up and down. Sometimes good sometimes just ok at best. It has never been our right bad.
(4)Angelo V.
This used to be my go to place when crossing the boarder. It still packs up but the service and quality of food is my what it used to be. I had an issue last time I came and today they actually served me some burnt bacon that falls apart, by the time the replacement came to the table, the eggs/hash browns etc.. was cold I'll think twice next time about coming here. Such a shame Angelo
(2)Christopher C.
Most expensive breakfast in town. $160 when all was said and done! This isn't because of the food, it's because of that awful gift shop that just has so many things we absolutely loved and dresses for my wife, jars of goodies, candies, toys, knick-knacks, rocking chairs, games, oh for the joy of stuff stuff stuff! We'll be back, Cracker Barrel, and will use your plentiful parking, easy access off the road, to have more yummy food and buy more goodies afterward! Men (or equivalent other half thereof), guard your wallets! :)

First time here & the food was good..loved the chicken fried steak, greens, mac & cheese got to sample off my husbands plate...I myself ordered the Chicken & Rice w/ sweet potato, loved the chicken & Rice only suggestion there was so much wild rice & not enough gravy next time ill order more gravy....loved the baked sweet potato w/ some brown sugar & butter, seriously amazing, small potato but for me it was just the right amount of delicious, the staff was very friendly, and can't wait to go back..its a must if you never been. Big kuddos to the manager gal who came up to check up on us several times, super nice & friendly will come back & visit & eat again
(5)Tiffany M.
My boyfriend and I have heard nothing but good things so we wanted to try then out . We showed up at 11:45 am and we're called to be seated at 11:55 which was not bad at all for how busy they were . After about 2 mins of waiting to be seated . The hostess sat us instead of waiting for someone to come get us . We sat down and waited , 15 mins later still no one said " hi be right with you " or anything of the sort . No drinks were taken ... all tables around us were being serviced . We ended up walking out ...

I have eaten at Cracker Barrel once or twice before (long ago), and just had to visit one before heading back home to Los Angeles where we don't have any nearby. It is a store with lots of knick-knacks and a restaurant with good old-fashion country food. There are a bunch of rocking chairs you will see as you walk down the long porch/patio to the front door. There are some for sale. Such a cool country feel to it. Sit a spell and relax. You can play checkers while you wait. We had to wait for our entire party to arrive before we could put our name on the list to be seated. Once they arrived, we were seated rather quickly. They were busy and our food arrived at the table cold. We had 7 in our party. The service was okay, I think our waitress was there and then disappeared and then reappeared later on. My husband ordered a breakfast combo with scrambled eggs, sausage, & hashed browns. It was rather basic. I got the Blueberry Pancakes, they were really, really, really delicious! They bring out individual bottles of maple and blueberry syrups. I got the blueberry syrup and was surprised that the syrup contained real blueberries! It was deliciously awesome! My daughter ordered french toast with maple syrup. If the food had arrived promptly to the table, it would have been ideal! When you are ready to settle your bill, you have to take the ticket to the cashiers in the store to pay. The store is full of cute things! There were a few items I would have bought, but I restrained! The pig salt & pepper holder was cute! I would have liked to taste the Divinity although it would not compare to my mother-in-law's fresh divinity!! They had their Easter items out as well as a religious section of goodies. There was a big poster announcing the sale of the new Casting Crowns CD, which I thought was rather neat. If I ever return to this Cracker Barrel, I sure hope the food is hot when it is brought out to the table! I should have told the manager when she walked by and asked us how things were. We asked for more syrups and she then went and had the waitress bring them out. I guess she herself doesn't get things for guests. I was really hoping this would warrant 5-stars, but it just didn't measure up.

We come here whenever we're in town... Love the rocking chairs out front... And the store at front as well, with all it's random items.. Came here on a weekday, late breakfast, and we were able to be seated right away. The place has a southern, casual, backyard patio type feel... Large dining area, clean... The few times we've gone here, I've only tried their breakfast items. Their menu is a bit large... So this time I opted for a healthier option and ordered fresh fruits, tomatoes, and scrambled egg beater.. No complaints, it is what it is.. But I was disappointed that their fruit bowl was soooo TINY!... I did try bites of their biscuits and pancakes, now those were tasty. Both light and fluffy. Yum! Try their hash brown casserole. It's cheese and yummy. Service was friendly and timely. In conclusion, the food itself is good, but the atmosphere is what makes this place worth trying.
(4)Jade W.
Had breakfast here on Sunday. It was very busy so I was surprised they were able to seat us right away. As we were shown to our table, my boyfriend pointed out there was some syrup residue on the table. The hostess asked me if I wanted her to clean it. Did she really have to ask that? Why not "Sorry about that, I'll clean it right away!"? Ugh. Then she comes back with a dry napkin, like that's really going to clean up sticky syrup. Whatever. Once our waters came, my boyfriend wiped the table himself. Great service here... The restaurant was very noisy. For my breakfast I decided on the Sunrise Sampler with scrambled eggs (well done), biscuits & gravy, fried apples, hashbrown casserole, and a sampling of sweet ham, sausage, and bacon. I told the server I didn't need the grits. It was a lot of food! The eggs were cooked right and the hashbrown casserole and apples were yummy. I took a small bite of the sausage patty and didn't care for it. The flavor reminded me of beef jerky. I enjoyed one biscuit with butter & jelly and gave the other biscuit to my boyfriend. I didn't try the sausage gravy. I also ate half of my boyfriend's pancake with my cinnamon apples of course! I liked my breakfast overall, but I can't rank it above any other breakfast establishment. I do enjoy walking around the Cracker Barrel store and looking at all the different things.

I used to live in the Deep South and miss the food. Sadly, this Cracker Barrel is not the place to go for authentic Southern food. I ordered the chicken fried steak breakfast with biscuits & gravy. The eggs were OK, the biscuits were subpar, and the steak itself wasn't bad--though it seemed more microwaved than fried. However, the country gravy was truly unfortunate. I like thick gravy. However, it is possible for gravy to be too thick. When I tried to dump the little bowl of gravy on my biscuits, the gravy didn't pour out; instead, a gelatinous slab of albinoid gravy slid out of the bowl and settled atop the biscuits, admirably retaining the cylindrical shape of the original vessel without so much as a wobble. Even this could have been forgiven, if the gravy had not been utterly bland, without a hint of savory, sour, sweet, bitter, umami or any other scent or flavor detectable by human taste buds or olfaction. It was the gustatory equivalent of white noise. In terms of texture, imagine a mouthful of smooth yet flavorless phlegm. The pecan pie was acceptable, but we made the mistake of ordering it a la mode, so it came with a little ball of freezer-burned ice cream that hinted at artificial vanilla flavoring. The kitschy decor reflects nostalgia for the rural South of past decades, though without any representation of African American people or culture. The place is soulless in every sense. Country & western music plays constantly.

First and foremost I love Cracker Barrel ! But this Cracker Barrel has to be my favorite ! The service is always spot on and the meals are always so good and comforting :) My favorite servers are the Cindy's ( Cynthia Ray and Cindy aka spike ) if your new to a Cracker Barrel and want to try one thing get the Hashbrown casserole
(5)Amanda S.
My sister and brother-in-law had not eaten at a Cracker Barrel in 10+ years so we were excited to stop here on the way back from the rodeo in Wickenburg. Shopping, family atmosphere, great food... I was stoked. I eat at CB regularly in the east valley so how was I to know this was going to be AWFUL?! My brother-in-laws eggs were wrong, DH's ORDER was wrong, my egg sandwich wasn't cooked through at all, had no mayo (which is standard) and the mayo that was brought out tasted like lard, my sister's fries had NO flavor and my stepson's kid burger was burned to a crisp. We got DH's order fixed but the rest wasn't worth complaining about. Drinks sat empty, apologies were made for the cooking time (we sat a LONG time with no food while maintaining good spirits). I will never go to this location again and it's safe to say that my sister and bro-in-law will probably never eat at a CB again. Way to go!!

This is only for the manager because our server Shontay was superb. We came in for dinner and the food wasn't even Cracker Barrel quality it was cold but after a 8 hour drive we just ate it. I ordered a peach cobbler to go which was literally 4 peaches and a dime sized piece of crust. My husband went inside to ask a cashier was this a normal serving size and the cashier directed him to the manager. My husband asked the manager the same question and he said yes before my husband could get the question out then quickly turned away as if my husband was bothering him and was not the least bit apologetic. How rude! Then my husband requested to speak with the manager again because he didn't get the chance to really speak with him regarding the serving size of the peach cobbler. Needless to say the at that particular location the serving size for peach cobbler is barely enough for a toddler, which cost $4. This is more than likely the reason this locations food is less than edible because the staff has to work with such a sour apple for a boss. I can't imagine if he treats paying customers this way how is he treating his staff? So whoever you are Mr. Manager please take off your moon shoes and astronaut costume come back down to earth!

Food is alway hot, fresh delicious. Cornbread and biscuits are good. I love there green beans. People are always friendly. If you need some chicken noodle soap it's just perfect.

I would love to give Cracker Barrel 2 stars because the food was boring. However, this Cracker Barrel doesn't deserve to be villified just because I'm not a huge fan of corporate food. I went, I ate, it was pleasant. I really found nothing to make me want to go back. But I also found nothing to complain about. That's about as far as I can go with this. Sorry!

Standard country kitchen food for your morning Cracker Barrel is a good go-to place when you have a taste for a heavy Midwestern breakfast. Good number of fried, egg, potato, meat, and salty sides to hit the spot. Can get a little loud with all the conversations in a fairly large, open eating area. The service is usually very good and you aren't left waiting for your food. There is often a wait of 10 to 20 minutes, but it's cool since you can wander the country store part of the restaurant in the interim. Tons of knickknacks and old-time candy to peruse to occupy your time. Not a haute cuisine place, but one you will enjoy for those family breakfasts where you just want to spend time with each other over a heap of food. :o)

Service was great here The breakfast menu is a bit busy but I like how it tells you what you are getting Most of the breakfast options are big I am not a big fan of the grits but the biscuits and gravy is good The gravy is really yummy The eggs and sausage/bacon are both good as well If I am in the area I would stop in for breakfast

My sister and her family met my family at Cracker Barrel, Sunday morning, 8/2/15, at 8:30. We hadn't eaten there in a long time , because of the food being served cold on previous occasions. Well, Cracker Barrel...you got us again ! I read these positive reviews and think, "are these people reviewing the same restaurant I am ?" Here's the run down: Scrambled eggs...barely warm. Hash brown Casserole...cold Bacon...barely warm, but it was crispy and good tasting. Coffee...good. I ordered my French toast with blueberries...it came without anything on it. I asked for blueberry syrup...never came. The French toast looked and tasted as if it had been in the kitchen from a previous order and gotten old and cold and on top of it all...it was horrible !. I didn't try to get my meal corrected since my sister and her family were anxious to get back home to Tennessee, so I nibbled on my meal. If I had said, "would you please put some blueberries on my French toast , it would have probably been delivered to the table about the time they pulled into the drive of their home in Knoxville. Cracker Barrel , you can chisel this in stone: We'll never eat at your pig swill restaurant again. How anyone with a brain , who has a basic idea of how to cook a meal, mess up a simple breakfast like that is beyond comprehension. Yuck !
(1)Veronica V.
I really enjoy going to this spot well, it's the only one I've been to so I don't have another to compare it to. The first time I tried it I was ecstatic. The restaurant in itself is fun and inviting while the food is equally enjoyable. You can't beat the huge portions. The apples are a sweet treat and the biscuits are filling that come with breakfast meals. The boneless chicken breasts are very tasty and you get enough to feed two. A nice place for the family.
(5)Carissa T.
Cracker barrel is definitely one of a kind. I want to always be able to bring my son for a Sunday breakfast or any time I need some good Ole country cookin. Fish fry Friday is great, the lighter menu chicken is great, the yogurt parfait, breakfast... pretty much everything.
(5)S M.
I have always wanted to try this restaurant and finally did while traveling. I was so disappointed. There food is greasy and so unhealthy. The chicken was equivalents to a fried chicken Pattie you can buy a bag of 10 for 6 bucks in your local grocery isle. The corn muffins were tasteless. Coleslaw was ok but you get a tiny little portion. I will never go back. The music was annoying too, some gospel, some old school country.

Our kids love the food at Cracker Barrel. When they're away from Phoenix they lament, rhapsodize, reflect on the heavenly food last served to them at Cracker Barrel. Darrin loves the catfish and greens. Orders it for breakfast, lunch or dinner every time he's in town. Chrissie enjoys the light, fluffy pancakes. Although Jr Jake prefers pancakes at Coco's he's smitten by the general store filled with candy, curios, and toys, toys, and more toys. He's amused by the checker board waiting for the next set of players to sit and play. And he's delighted by the peg board at each table waiting for him to invent his own fun. We ate dinner, then breakfast the following morning at CB. - Exceptional customer service. - Enchanting general store decorated for Christmas. Uncommon, yet affordable tree ornaments and toys. - Mediocre food.

Cracker Barrels are not all created equal. While the vibe at the Goodyear location is great, the service leaves a lot to be desired. We were served by a "Rising Star" (he hadn't yet earned any gold stars for his apron). He was sure nice enough, but kept coming back to clarify our orders, we had to go get our own napkins/silverware because he gave us our food but not with the necessary silverware, and he was very slow to come back to check on us and refill our drinks. Worst of all, he brought AC's salad without the deviled eggs and didn't explain that they were out of cooked eggs until after we brought it to his attention. He apologized and seemed sincere, but the service left a lot to be desired. The food we did receive was up to Cracker Barrel standards, but the overall experience was really disappointing especially after looking forward to my yearly Cracker Barrel experience (they don't exist in California) since last spring.

Great comfort food. I recommend the country style chicken. You can't go wrong with the sides. I like their fried okra, mac n cheese and country style green beans. And don't forget to wash it down with sweet tea. Melany our waitress was the best. Friendly, personable, and knew just when we needed something. (Refills, extra napkins, to go boxes). Also love the country store. They have great unique gift ideas and fun candy and toys for the kids.

Well...you just have to visit a Cracker Barrel once in a while. We were driving from Phoenix, returning to California when the four of us decided to stop. We hadn't been to one in awhile and it was that same as the others. Friendly folks, good food and a good price. I didn't care for their sausage that much, but their bacon was quite good. The scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly. The shopping in the country store after eating is always fun.

Wish they had Cracker Barrel. In California. Went there twice while in Arizona and loved it. 1st time midday not crowded good service great food. Quick hot and good. 2nd time waiting told us 15-20. What I like is when they call a party they then tell the next party you are next called when table is available that way they are ready. They were moving people in and out fast. Got seated took order and got food fast again. Love this place.

The service is wonderful and the food is great! The price is good for the portion size and the amount of items in the meal. My favorite is the Grandpa Fried Breakfast! Fried chicken, eggs, biscuits, grits and hash brown casserole all for $8-$10. (i don't remember exactly)

A trip to Arizona is no complete with out at least one meal at the Cracker Barrel. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you can't go wrong as everything on their menu is scrumptious! I think the best way to describe the food is good old fashion American. With items like Biscuits & Gravy, Meatloaf, Chicken and Biscuits, Grits, ... The wait is never unbearable, and they have a cool little store to look around in while you wait for them to call your name. That's not to mention their fleet of rocking chairs, and benches to sit on, in addition to simple board games like chess, and checkers to make the wait go by faster.

Cracker Barrel is an old reliable - always good service and good food. Wait times can be long on holidays (as it was on New Years Day - but we knew that) - cannot complain that everyone wanted to eat at noon time, now can I? On a follow up visit a few weeks later with another couple, we were seated within fifteen minutes. The hostess was pleasant, the waitress was pleansant and the food was like it always is - good and warm. No complaints here - bacon and eggs and toast and some kibble just to keep me happy (after all my wife tells me I'm a dog). This is a happy place where everyone comes to get theri happy on - one success after another. Here I just sit and enjoy - mommy says I'm a good boy!
(5)Lori D.
The food tasted fine, but the portions were mighty small. I had over medium eggs and biscuits. The wait was not worth the food, that's for sure. Nothing memorable to keep me coming back.

Wow....well....besides the food looking mediocre and the beautiful antiques that are on display the cracker barrel in Arlington TX off Bowen Rd/ I20 is a joke, but not a very funny one. #1- IF any patron were to peek into the kitchen area, you wouldn't make it to the bathroom quick enough and would inevitably vomit on the already dirty floor. I guarantee you some of the food splatter on the walls etc. Are 6 mos old. Besides that..they treat any employees that haven't been there 10 yrs like crap. I was promised 35 (plus) hrs per week with average nightly tips of 100-200. YEA RITE!!!! I'm scheduled the nxt week for 9.5 hrs!!!! And the most I EVER made was 63 bucks in a day!! How can anyone live on that????? And what's really funny is there "NOW HIRING" sign still up!! Grow up cracker barrel!! Give ppl a chance to actually make money!!

Here's a challenge for you: try being a vegetarian and go to eat at Cracker Barrel. Vegetable plate my buttinsky--there's pork in that there dish. Yep, my wife ordered their plate with four vegetables and two of them were loaded with pork. Look, I'm not dogmatic about vegetarianism--if you want meat, go for it (it's tasty), but if you are offering a veggie plate at your restaurant, at least mention somewhere in the menu that it's mixed with pig meat. . . About the best you can do at a place like Cracker Barrel (if you want to do more than graze on salad) is to resort to Starchitarianism. In that case, either order sides or get something like their French Toast plate with the meat on the side to take home to the dog. It's really good tasting and will fill you up for a nice price. Otherwise, this Cracker Barrel is a great place to eat--just not really for us. If you're not veggie, there's gonna be tons of great food here for you.

Visiting from California on busines. Came here on thanksgiving day and ordered the thanksgiving meal. Came with turkey, dressing, a slice of ham and two sides you can pick. I went with mashed potatoes and hash brown casserole. Got cornbread and homemade biscuits. Everything was good. Our waiter was attentive. For 10.99 you get more than what you pay for. I stuffed myself! I asked for boxes, I wasn't going to leave my leftovers. It was too good. Then my waiter asked what kind of pie I wanted....what! Pie too!!! Why don't I have one of these by my house???sad. The Pumpkin pie was on point! Like my mom makes.
(4)Tony M.
Always excellent, down home style cooking. Never disappoints. Breakfasts are especially great
(5)Barb P.
I remember Cracker Barrel for having great home cooked food. Maybe it's what we ordered but it seemed like standard restaurant food. Great service!
(2)Shelley M.
We recently visited 2 days in a row since we had a visiting family member here who happens to love Cracker Barrel. The food was consistent both days. I had the French toast one day and the hashbrown casserole and bacon the next. I did have a bite of my husband's pancake which was super good too. In my opinion the French toast and pancakes are the way to go when visiting. Our service was inconsistent with the first visit being great and the second being just ok. Overall it was fine. The food and the price are ok and I will visit again.
(3)Isaac M.
Ok so this is an amazing place for Breakfast! If you love country styled comfort food then you picked the right place! 3 stars for over all food and price If I could score the bathrooms here at this location it would be 1 star. I'm not sure if they were overly busy in the kitchen or on the dinning room floor but they neglected the bathroom while I was here. It was gross! But like I said the food was great but not the "truck stop" bathroom

I ordered chicken and dumplings with sides of green beans and lima beans. We're from Oregon and don't have this chain so I was excited to see what it was all about. The chicken was dry and lacked flavor but the dumplings were the worst. They were bland thin chewy squares of flour with water that appeared to have no levening or salt. The green beans weren't the worst. However the lima beans were outstanding. The service was good and the place was clean and pleasant.
(1)Blair J.
I love this place! We visited Arizona, and ate here three times! Just good, old-fashioned food. I love the chicken-fried chicken!!
(4)Rand H.
Stopped in here today joined by Mike C. for a first visit to this Cracker Barrel (& fourth visit ever to any). This time I ordered Meat Loaf, with mashed potatoes & beef gravy, turnip greens, cole slaw, & one each of a biscuit & a cornbread muffin. The serving sizes were excellent, the price low ($8.79), & every bite of this meal was SOOOOO good!! :-))
(5)Sandra H.
I love eating there breakfast here. Country boy is my fav. Love the steak and hash brown casserole. My order was almost perfect except i got wheat bread not white, i don't like wheat but no big deal. Mike my server was great, friendl, and nice

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly I enjoy eating out in different restaurants on a regular basis. After a long day of shopping I decided to stop at the Cracker Barrel, Hadn't been to Cracker Barrel in a long time but every time I drive past it's always packed so I thought the Cracker Barrel would be good food choice. WOW was I wrong!! The service was slow, and the food was tasteless and cold. It was the worst dining experience I've had in a long time. Even though we ate very little off our plates it wasn't until - the cashier asked me "how was the food"; that anyone even showed concern. I told the cashier it was "terrible it just wasn't good". I wasn't going to speak to a manager initially however; the two cashiers talked me into speaking with a manger. After waiting 20 minutes for a manager, I walked away with one thought on my mind. I will never go back again.
(1)Miss C.
I've been here a couple if times an I think I leave less impressed every time. The food tastes canned, frozen, or from a mix. The service is lackluster at best. Today our food was cold and dry... How does that even happen when the food took less than 10 min to get to the table... To me that makes it seem like it was all precooked and reheated to order. I suppose I am not their target clientele, regardless I still have left every time I've gone feeling like I wasted both calories and money.
(2)Alex S.
Cracker Barrel is one of those places, which, for me, falls under the heading of "Comfort Food". To be sure, portions are far from small and typically American ... as in "America in the 1960s", when breakfast meant three eggs, pancakes, sausage, ham or bacon, toast, and enough butter to paint the walls of a restaurant yellow. And Cracker Barrel does its best to carry on that tradition. This is NOT the place to go to to eat healthy; and I'd wager, Black Bear Diner has healthier meals. If you're a diabetic or a vegetarian, this is the place to go to commit suicide. Apparently, 70-80% of Arizona's sugar imports go to this restaurant and I'm almost positive I saw a truck filled with cows being delivered to the rear of the building. (Of course, I jest: everyone knows they consume so much meat here, they have their own slaughterhouse on premises). If your blood sugar level hasn't shot up to 600 reading this and your personal trainer hasn't slapped you for looking at this page, then you'll be happy(?) to know, that the food here is tasty, plentiful and will only likely put 2 or 3 pounds on your hips by meal's end. Service is usually attentive and polite. There's nothing to fault the place as far as attitude and professionalism is concerned (and isn't the lobby with all those cute knick-knacks just the bees' knees?!). If President Obama and First Lady Michelle have their way and Americans are compelled to actually exercise and do their part to cut down on medical costs, places like Cracker Barrel will go the way of the Pony Express and 29 Cent a gallon gas. For now, enjoy the blast into the past and the extra dose of cholestorol meds you'll need after eating dinner here.

I love CB. None in California so I come here everytime I come to AZ. Unfortunately food cold today. Out of pie so they said they would put in oven but it takes an hour to cook!!! Now I am checking out and finding my bill is incorrect. Wow...
(3)Rach T.
Hearty portions, warm friendly service. House coffee is smooth & rich. Nice place to stop by.
(4)Desiree H.
I have been to plenty of cracker barrels I absolutely love their food and service no complaints there but I agree with the other reviews on this specific location it is quite dirty ..... The bathroom was horrible I couldn't believe it was cracker barrel for a min
(3)Judy L.
I have been to this location many times, just can't believe that I never checked in or wrote about them. I have always enjoyed their food and service. But noticed the place just was not so clean (table & chairs) a little dirty. =(

Good Food, Good Portions, Great Lemonade :)

I can remember going to Cracker Barrel with my Grandmother about 30 yrs ago!! I don't remember the food, but I do remember the memories with grandma! Now all I hear is how great the breakfast is! Wife and I went to Cracker Barrel this past weekend. She has gone there a few times in the last year. For myself it's been a while. So I ordered their two pancake stack with a side of biscuit and gravy. Wife had two eggs and bacon. I was not to fond of their biscuit and gravy. Biscuit seemed to be on the dry side, and the gravy was like some kind of gel?? Not much taste. I did however really enjoyed their pancakes! Wife enjoyed their eggs and bacon, she likes her bacon extra crispy and it was perfect. It was a good time and we will probably come back.
(3)T C.
Never again. The apple french toast (~$12) and the sampler (includes a little of the chicken dumpling, sugar crusted ham, and meatloaf - ~$14) and both were huge disappointments. The only saving grace, for me, was the cranberry-pomegranate (or something similar) iced tea, which wasn't too sweet (yay!) and very refreshing (~$3). Other important info: chain restaurant, country store and rocking chairs were fun, overwhelming menu, cleaning could be improved, and slow service.
(1)Janel H.
I dont like writing bad reviews, but I have to warn you. This was the WORST experience ever at a cracker barrel. First time service was bad and they were out of dumplings. No big deal until we received our dinner and everything was cold, looked like it had been microwaved. Decided stupidly to give this location a second chance this morning only to be served raw CHICKEN and stale biscuits with raw potatoe casserole. When I told the manager he had the nerve to argue with me about how raw the chicken was. Um sorry I cook chicken everyday I know that pink, bloody chicken breast is not a good sign. We will stick to our pinnacle peak and I-17 location even though its on the other side of town...
(1)Jim J.
What can you say - Cracker Barrel serves consistent southern comfort food. All I need to drive across country are gas stations and Cracker Barrel restaurants. The Goodyear location is often full during popular dining times and days (Nascar in town or not) . 6:30 Saturday morning is easy to get a table. Wait until 8:00 in the morning and you will probably get on a half hour wait list. They have plenty of outdoor rocking chairs to enjoy the usual awesome Arizona weather while you wait. They aren't so popular to rock away the time in July though. I love their fried okra and turnip greens. Not as good as my grandmother made but still worth my money.
(5)Glen F.
I love this place! They always have the best country food and the service is always good.
(5)Dan H.
I highly recommend the Country Boy Breakfast- Sirloin! A lot of great food for a good price. Great ambience. My favorite restaurant for a family breakfast.
(5)Kathy S.
All good, they don't make dumplins like me though!,
(4)Eyezola G.
Went for breakfast this morning and I am STILL full!! :-) Plenty of food for the price and they have AWESOME old school candy! There were a million and 42 people there today and we were seated in good time. The service is always good...even if they refill my coffee just after I got it the way I like it with 16 sugars and 6 creamers!! Good service will make or break it for me and these folks are on top of their game. And I only had to kick one little old man outta one of the rocking chairs so I could have a turn! :-)
(4)Michael L.
Nothing has changed, same boring food and same nonsense in the store area.
(2)SunnyCali Y.
I dined here while on vacation in AZ. It was my first time and I had high expectations but it was just ok. I really wanted a steak for breakfast but it wasn't on the menu which is a little strange to me for a place that specializes in breakfast. Catfish is on the menu and it was stinking up the joint and not really the food I want to smell when eating in the morning. I had the french toast and it was just blah...nothing special. They give you little individual bottles of syrup that are so cute but unfortunately the taste isn't that great. CB has great ambiance and that's about it.
(2)Rande O.
Always yummy!
(4)Jonny B.
We love this place. We only get to come when we visit friends in Arizona. The food is grub. The hashbrown casserole is our favorite. I am now a huge fan of thief coleslaw!!
(5)Shy A.
I love Cracker Barrel and jump at the chance to grab some grub when I see it around especially their breakfast. I would totally 5 star this joint if it wasn't for the service we received on this visit. Just pretty forgetful and slow, which is funny because I remember our server serving us over four years ago and back then she was fantastic! I think that most people have gone to a Cracker Barrel location at one point so I won't bore folks in this review by going over the bits I love. I'll just say that their biscuits are outrageously good, tea is always perfectly sweet and their breakfast is like mom's....All that goodness at a fraction of the cost for the portions you get. And I always love the knickknacks they have in their store and is a great spot for picking up some quirky gifts.
(4)Brianna P.
Cracker Barrel is one of my favorite restaurants! They always have the best comfort food. My five year old daughter loves their pancakes and my husband usually gets the special of the day which is always different and so tasty. I love mama's pancakes with peaches. We always have great service when we come here and I can never leave without walking through the store.
(5)Shane M.
OK food for a chain restaurant. The egg dishes did come with three eggs instead of two which is nice. The biscuits were less fluffy and more salty than I like. The prices are a bit steep for what you get too.
(3)Lisa R.
Love this place! I wish we can get some Cracker Barrels in Cali! had the Mama's french toast meal.. so Delicious! I thinks my only complaint would be the sausage patties, I get the size for the kids meals but for an adult meal? Anyway, can't go to Az without a stop at good 'ol Cracker Barrel, will definately be back next time I'm in town!
(5)Kathy N.
Oh, the horror, the horror.............. Okay not really. More of a disappointment and a bummer. In a nutshell- apathetic General Manager acting as expeditor sent out food that should not have gone out to clients. He should have looked at it first- nothing major, a baked potato cut down the middle with a large black "tumor" of rot hidden beneath the skin at one end. Could happen to anyone at home, I didn't want a free meal, but I thought that as expeditor he should be more alert. His response was no response until he waited on me at the register, where his comeback to the issue was "it was an eye." No, it was not a potato eye- they are external root sprouts and not black- and even so, what restaurant serves potatoes without trimming eyes? He proceeded to grow increasingly more condescending, apathetic, and overtly rude albeit being rude using "kind" words- the dismissive "thanks for coming and you have a nice day" said in a tone of voice that essentially translates to "F off." He just would not take ownership for the oversight, and obviously is not a person to learn from his mistakes. He's in the wrong business. I have had salads served to me with the huge copper staples from the lettuce crate in my salad and expected nothing but for the prep cook in the pantry to use more diligence when washing and chopping lettuce. I didn't even want an apology, just a simple acknowledgment that there was an oversight that needed to be more closely heeded before sending food out from the line. All I got was attitude from a young man whose age I double, but who believes that he knows much more than I do and whose authority is not to be challenged. My server Emmy was great, she got a 30% tip from me. That manager netted a phone call to Cracker Barrel customer service. I've eaten at Cracker Barrels all over the USA for 21 years now, and have never been addressed or treated so rudely as my experience today. Hopefully corporate in Lebanon, TN will sort this fellow out.

I don't know why I thought it would be good but it's not.

Went to Cracker Barrel twice while vacationing at our home in Litchfield Park. All the food we ordered were very good and the service was good also. I highly recommend their pancakes.
(5)Josh H.
Delicious food, unlimited biscuits and cornbread. MUST try the apple dumplin dessert. It's a little big, perfect for sharing.

Great food but staff was a bit rdue

This is by far the worst Cracker Barrel in Arizona. I have been to the Glendale, Buckeye and Kingman locations in Arizona and this place is AWFUL on so many levels. Why I have given it more than a couple tries is only because it is five minutes from my house. The location in Glendale by Westgate is light years better. First of all the wait staff at the Goodyear location is slow and dimwitted at times, on more than one visit I have had to find my own water. Secondly the portion size is very small, probably a good thing eating at cracker Barrel but you get at least 50% more food at the Westgate location. Thirdly the food has come served at different times, cold, overcooked, undercooked, and of course the completely wrong order. I feel like (probably due to the food being poorly cooked at the Goodyear location) that the food is much fresher at the Westgate location compared to the Goodyear location. I love Cracker Barrel but will avoid the Goodyear location and drive 15 minutes out of my way if I have to have Cracker Barrel.

i love cracker barrel! their pecan pancakes are amazing and super filling!! also, get their biscuits and gravy... delish! wish there was one in the Bay Area...
(5)Raymond M.
Although I'm really not that much of a breakfast person, I was surprisingly impressed with the quality, service and overall vibe of this place. It is fully decked out like an old-fashioned, southern-country joint and based on the large crowd it is definitely a hotspot to hit up for breakfast on the weekends. One of the only reasons I deducted a star is because although the wait staff was friendly, they were a bit "pushy" and really wanted to get our order in. I mean, I can understand that you're busy, but when I just sit down and haven't even opened the menu yet, it probably wouldn't be polite to ask me "So have we decided yet?" I ordered a traditional breakfast (Mama's Big Breakfast I think) with scrambled eggs (and cheese), really thick bacon (my favorite kind) and pecan pancakes (AMAZINGLY GOOD). My friends pretty much ordered the same thing, so I'm not sure how the rest of the menu is, but I was happy with my food. I really want to try what they have for lunch and dinner!
(4)Bryan P.
Food was great! Large portions and excellently cooked! Classic country food... must try their apple butter and sweet potatoe pancakes!
(5)Krissy G.
I was on vacation from Southern Calfornia and we ate here for breakfast. I have never been to a Cracker Barrel. It was so good! The French Toast and Hashbrown Casserole was delish! We are so coming back here to eat next year!
(5)David D.
It's Cracker Barrel standard. Good food at a reasonable price. They know how to cook eggs TO ORDER (which can be something of a rarity). They don't come out over easy or over medium no matter how you actually order them and the ingredients are good for the price. The place gets busy...especially in the winter and fall, but no problem now. If you want a quality breakfast at a good price, stop on in.
(3)Wesley S.
Dumplings, Chicken fried steak with gravy. What more could you ask for. Staff was friendly and fast.
(4)Roger P.
Cracker Barrel has been our family's favorite breakfast restaurant for 30 years. We've eaten at this Cracker Barrel dozens of times. Not any more. Something changed. They started serving our breakfast cold. We sent it back and it was still served lukewarm. We figured they had a bad day so the next time we politely ask them to make sure our breakfast was served hot. It was servied cold again. We talked to the manager and he apoligized. We tried eating there three more times and every time it was served cold. So, we stopped eating there. We now eat breakfast at the Waffle House where they we watch them make our breakfast and serve it directly to our table HOT. We miss the Cracker Barrel but I expect a hot breakfast and they can't seem to provide a hot breakfast.
(1)Amber G.
I have been eating at Cracker Barrel restaurants for years and always enjoy the southern food. This location I visit the most and have always received great service. The only issue recently was that I noticed that our plates were dirty. Like dried food stuck to the bottoms and sides of the plates. This happened not once, but the last few times that I have been. I first complained to the manager, who was very nice, but the problem did not get taken care of. I visited their website and let them know about what was going on. Apparently there was a dish washing issue that needed to be addressed. The corporate office called to apologize and sent me a coupon for two free complete meals. Very nice gesture, and much appreciated. We went back recently to use the coupon for breakfast, there seemed to be improvement, at least on this day. I am glad because I freakin love their catfish !!!
(3)Jenny D.
Why oh why don't they have a Cracker Barrel in Califonia??!! My friends and I were in the Phoenix area this weekend and this was first on our list to eat! We were excited to eat our breakfast here! We also love browsing through the country store and sitting outside in the rocking chairs. I hope one day this chain will expand to the Pacific Coast.

I stopped in here for lunch yesterday with my boyfriend. We thought it was hilarious that every handicapped parking spot in front of the place was full and that some of the other cars in the lot had the handicapped stickers hanging from them. No, we don't think its funny to be handicapped. We just thought it was hilarious that we'd never been out this early in the day together during the week for lunch. Aside from being the youngest people here for lunch, we were seated quickly and our waitress popped over to take our drink orders. She was very nice and though I don't drink lemonade, I thought about ordering it the two times she asked if I wanted one (haha). Our food came out relatively fast (a group of men across from us started up with a, "Did we have a special order? They got here after us!" then 30 seconds later their food for four was at their table). Of all the Cracker Barrels I've been to, this was probably one of the nicer ones. I'd definitely go back.
(4)Deanna J.
Please note: This restaurant has NO affiliation to the cheese. This place is country cute and the food is pure comfort food. In fact, I decided to try the oooey-gooey most fattening food on the menu. The dumplings were good. The mac and cheese was okay. The fried shrimp very heavy...I didn't care for the batter. Good on chicken bad on shrimp. The best thing on the place was the hashbrown casserole which was just okay. The customer service was great which is why I gave the place three stars. I doubt I will be back here again once in a lifetime was enough. I will say this about the artery-clogging heart attack on a plate restaurant. You don't go away hungry!

I have some vague memory of Cracker Barrel from my East Coast childhood, but I hadn't been to one in decades. There are no Cracker Barrels in Los Angeles, where I live, or anywhere on the West Coast for that matter. Which is just sad. Last year, on a road trip to Arizona, some friends and I were looking for a place to stop for lunch. When we spotted the Cracker Barrel right off the 10 freeway, my pals got VERY excited about going there, since they're all from the South and all had fond memories of Cracker Barrel. The four of us had a delicious meal of Southern cooking and then amused ourselves in the kitschy gift shop. This year, we knew we'd be stopping there again on our way home from Arizona, and we had two more people in the group who were only too happy to join us in our gustatory pilgrimage. I had the "chicken fried chicken" (a breaded breast fillet served with white gravy) with fried okra, green beans and cornbread stuffing, followed by blackberry cobbler and ice cream. Plus the best biscuits I've ever had anywhere. Heaven! The service was friendly, timely and attentive. My sweet iced tea glass was always full. Everything on the table was perfectly prepared and exactly what the person wanted. There wasn't a single disappointment in the entire meal. We all left full and happy. I know we'll be back again next year. There needs to be a Cracker Barrel in L.A.
(5)Mike C.
Always a great place for breakfast. Dinner also has some tasty choices. I love going there.
(5)Katie O.
I love this place, rocking chairs for your wait, shopping before you eat, comfort food...it is woman's dream restaurant. Great for families, plenty of food for the price, great service. Although I will say I have a lot of crap that I bought at cracker barrel and have since either tossed or donated.
(4)Carlos D.
Everytime I visit the AZ I always stop here for breakfast on my last day. I've ordered almost everything on the menu. It's really home cooking country food. Please order a milkshake when your done with breakfast, it always hit's the spot. As for lunch and dinner I couldn't tell you anything really. I only eat breakfast there.make sure you visit the store before you go, you'll end up buying something unique. Peace.
(5)Scott L.
The fried chicken here on Sunday's is the BOMB!!!!! All I need is some hot sauce and ranch, then it's on. =P
