Typical Cracker Barrel. Get in, sit down, order food, food comes out fast and hot, server asks if you want drink to go. Yes, now leave. Pay the cashier and back out the door you go. lol.. So, I tried the Cajun Trout, I have to say they always hit the mark with any baked fish here, 2 pretty large filets with roasted corn on top, side order of steamed broccoli and an ice tea. Just right for lunch.

Had a pretty good non-heart-healthy breakfast here one fine Sunday morn. The wait was looooooong and the place was slammed with hungry people. Parking lot was pretty full too. I almost had to park at the lot for a nearby clothing store and *walk* back! Gasp! What else can I say... this is a corporate chain that specializes in trying to capture your dollars by marketing a down-home, aw shucks ma'am country/olden days theme. Also they sell all kinds of junk in thier lobby.

This is the only chain I go to without being forced to go by friends or circumstances. You know what you are getting. Quality across USA is consistent like the menu. When you travel it is a low risk stop if unexciting. But also the one in Bloomington is singular for excellent service and personnel. Hats off for such good service.

We usually go to this Cracker Barrel location for breakfast when we are in the area of Bloomington IN coming home from Lake Monroe. if we don't end up going to Yia Yias pancake house in Greenwood, (which by the way is amazing and basically blows CB away), first before we head out of town going south, we can also end up at CB. Their breakfasts are pretty ample considering what you're ordering. The food is acceptable when considering breakfast grub. I haven't had anything else on their menu except for their breakfast offerings. I do like their pancakes, as well as their hash brown casserole. They seem to be a few of their notable and shining standards. Eggs are eggs, so they are difficult to screw up. Their biscuits are acceptable and decent, but the gravy could use a little work. It's usually too thick and congealed. It often tastes a little on the floury/pasty side. The grits are OK, for being what they are - grits. It's nothing a small pat of butter can't fix. I have noticed many people skip the grits because it's an acquired taste. The turkey sausage is decent as well as some of the other meat choices. The baked apples are pretty tasty as well. I think their coffee is drinkable, but I prefer a much stronger cup of coffee. I am a bit of a Java juice snob, so I really do appreciate a great tasting and quality bean cup of coffee. I wish more restaurants would give the customers the choice of getting a stronger cup of coffee if that's what they prefer, versus the average and/or weak to medium strength cup of coffee. The service is always quick, friendly and attentive. The food arrives at the table usually in a snap. Of course their country store is always a cool novelty to rummage around if one has some extra time to kill. I have always considered it a clever concept and they seem to have some fun offerings.

Years ago I loved Cracker Barrel. My wife is from the South and we like Tennessee cooking. This is no longer good here. Listless eggs. Grits taste like instant. Gravy has no sausage flavor. Coffee is weak. We got no jam or jelly and no butter. Fair service. I am not sure how they stay packed. I know of several local places with better breakfast and my wife can cook better than this.

As far as CB's go, this one is kind of at the bottom of my list. Both times we've been here have included poor service and cold food. I don't know what it is about this B'ton CB, but they need to pull it together.

Okay, so I try my best not to visit chains, but I had a hankering for Chicken and Dumplings, and this place was along the route and served to fulfill my craving. 6 of us entered the place a little after 9pm on a Saturday evening and were immediately seated. Service was very good. Our messed up humor was well played by our server, who did a great job of fitting right in. I overheard him say "God bless" to the table of people behind us, but didn't "bless" us as we left. He knows his crowd. We all ordered various things.. some dessert with a random side of apple butter, some soup, and others a full meal. Everything came out perfectly prepared, and although we had to remind our server for blackberry jelly (they always try and push the grape) and that we didn't have silverware and didn't plan on eating with our fingers, we were in and out fairly quickly and on our way. 3 stars because, even though the service and food were good, nothing really blew me out of the water.

While I am not a huge fan of Cracker Barrel food, I must give them 4 stars for being such a nod to Americana. The kitschy souveniers in the store always make me smile...but I'd never buy them :-) My hiking friends and I stopped here for lunch on our way to Spring Mill State Park. Since I hadn't eaten all morning and had already done a 6 mile training run...I was starving. My friends opted for lunch but I wanted a BIG breakfast. They serve breakfast all day. I had the Old Timer's breakfast. My breakfast included 2 scrambled eggs (I chose egg beaters), 2 sausage patties (I chose turkey sausage), the hash brown casserole, grits, biscuits (2) and gravy. Haha! I ate every bite! Soon, we were on the road to Spring Mill State Park and well-fueled for our 6 mile hike.

If you have good memories of home cooking or if you like comfort food, this is the place. Don't be fooled into thinking the food is bad for you, however, because a lot of the food here is Weight Watchers(tm) friendly!

The chicken fried chicken is awesome and I love the green beans. I have been coming to Cracker Barrels for years for the comfort food just like mom used to make, only better because i don't have to do the dishes afterward! The place was really busy but i was seated quickly. The servers were friendly and very quick. And i love that i could get a box of moon pies to take home with me!

Bland food and vomit-inducing "country kitchen" theme...terrible.
