If you are craving a good southern-style home cooked meal, this is the place to go. My personal favorites are chicken & dumplings or turkey & dressing. And of course you must try their hashbrown casserole, it is absolutely delicious. Don't forget to try their breakfast sometime as well. It is my favorite place in Somerset to eat breakfast. All of the portions are generous and hearty. I love the biscuits & gravy, which I usually get with hashbrown casserole and the delicious sausage patties & eggs. After dining, take time to visit the country store where you will find all kinds of interesting treasures. This is a great family restaurant and the service is always friendly and efficient. The restaurant itself is clean, a dirty place is an absolute deal breaker for me. So try Cracker Barrel in Somerset. If you are in the mood for homestyle country cooking, I promise you will not be disappointed.

I just love This restaurant. The people ( mainly Jason who took our takeout order and April for breakfast dine-in), the food and the atmosphere. Five stars plus another five stars. After a long ride from Tennessee we arrived in Kentucky tired. We placed a take out order and was able to pick up our food with 10-15 minutes. The food was beyond excellent. We really enjoyed the food.

Although a busy location this one is clean and well kept with good service. Unusually off an interstate on Hwy. 27, this Somerset CB stays busy. The food is usually good and of course, the old store to saunter around in makes things worthwhile. We had the french toast, fried eggs (OE), bacon and also the opened faced roast beef w/mashed potatoes and cole slaw (an old stand by fave). Food was good and again, the service at this location was very good. Good food, good service, good atmosphere, country cookin'...Cracker Barrel.

Wonderful experience! Never been to a Cracker Barrel before and I loved it. Great food, cute store with a lot of old, country memorabilia. I ordered the Sunday Special, country fried chicken. It was so tasty and was accompanied by corn bread and applebutter, fried apples, mashed potates, and some fried shrimp. I definitely recommend coming down here for good food and some cool shopping. They also have some great rocking chairs outside that you can relax in for a few minutes and enjoy the Kentucky scenery!

Definitely one of the saddest Cracker Barrel's I've been to. The service was downright depressing. The server was clearly on something hardcore and could barely function, better yet remember anything we requested. The food took a very long time and came out half-assed. The people in the gift shop were pleasant at least. The location is pretty damn convenient if you're in Somerset though... Lots of parking is a plus though, right? ;)

1 star for the kitchen staff and 5+ stars for the management, making up for the kitchen staff. I'll try to keep this short and to the point but I don't think it will be. Husband ordered a special multi-berry pancake breakfast. He liked it. We came in on a Sunday and their Sunday chicken special is my absolute favorite. That chicken is amazing. But I think it was too early to order that but I saw a special breakfast called Grandpa's Country Fried Breakfast, that included "Chicken Fried Chicken or Country Fried Steak topped with our Sawmill Gravy, with two Grade A eggs* cooked to order, Grits, homemade Buttermilk Biscuits, Sawmill Gravy, and the Best Preserves, Jam n' Apple Butter (on request) we could find. Served with Fried Apples or our Hashbrown Casserole." Now, I hate country gravy. Hate it with a passion... but my husband digs biscuits and gravy so I decided I would ask for the gravy on the side so we could order him some extra biscuits to have with the gravy. I was thinking the chicken fried chicken would be like that delectable homestyle chicken and I can never get enough hashbrown casserole. I also don't like grits so I always tell them to not bring it (i hate seeing it wasted). When my order came, the first thing I noticed was the waitress handing me a bowl of grits but then she said "oh, they put the gravy on the chicken. I'll take that back". She mentioned that she had written it twice on the ticket about No gravy on the meat. I decided to let the grits thing go and just slid it over to the other side of the table. Within about 2 minutes, a guy who was not our waitress brought my plate back. I had realized they only brought my 2 biscuits but not the ones for my husband so I asked him if he could please bring the extra biscuits. While he was off doing that, I happened to turn the chicken over and found that all that happened was they scraped most of the gravy off and turned the chicken over. Ummm, I could have done that if I didn't mind the vile gravy touching my chicken. So when the guy brough the extra biscuits back, I apologized and said "i hate to do this but I really don't want any gravy on my chicken" while showing him the underside of the chicken. He said he'd have to show his manager and took it away. After a couple minutes, the waitress came over and was so apologetic about it. She said she couldn't believe they (the kitchen staff) thought they could correct the problem by doing that and said the manager was back there, cooking my food himself. After about 5 minutes or so, the manager brought out ALL my food, including more grits and biscuits (the extra biscuits made up for the extra grits but I still feel guilty about 2 bowls of untouched grits). He was very apologetic and said he took my order off the bill. I thanked him and said that wasn't necessary and he said it was, that he spoke to his kitchen staff because that's not how they do things at Cracker Barrel. So major kudos to him for correcting the situation. And just FYI, while the chicken fried chicken was okay, it was nothing like the homestyle chicken they serve on Sundays so lesson learned there. But we left as happy customers and made sure to leave a generous tip ($8 on the adjusted bill amount of $16) for the waitress as she seemed mortified at the situation and it clearly wasn't her fault. The Management at this Cracker Barrel is to be commended and I hope the kitchen staff learned a lesson.

Food was great but our server was a little off, she forgot the Togo order and we ended up waiting over 20 minutes for one meal. I still highly recommend the chicken and dumplings
