REVIEWS OF Cracker Barrel Old Country Store IN Alabama

G Sn

By far the worst experience we've had at a Cracker Barrel anywhere. They weren't very busy but the kitchen clearly couldn't manage. Our server did a decent job and continuously updated us and apologized for the delays. When the food finally arrived, there were several items missing and my wife's food had obviously been sitting in the window under a heat lamp. She spoke with the manager about the quality and appearance and he apologized and offered something else to eat. Normally that would be sufficient but what she ordered originally and wanted replaced was out. This is one of their main staple menu items and they were sold out of it. That explained the plate of food she was initially given. The final straw was the incredibly disgusting bathrooms. Both men and women's rooms were filthy and stunk like that hadn't been cleaned for a few days. We were there for lunch, if that gives you an idea regarding length of time since they opened. The staff was very friendly and the manager did try to make things right, but overall, it just wasn't a good experience.

Efrain Martinez

I don't have words to describe how awesome this place is. Every single person in there is great, the food is incredible and the prices are extremely affordable. Will definitely go there more often. Thanks Tessa for being so amazing!

Erika Stratton

We usually love Cracker Barrel, but tonight's visit wasn't the best. We were seated promptly and the host was friendly. Our server may have been new, or maybe she was having a rough day. Our drinks were often empty and we had to wait about 20 minutes after we finished our meals for the ticket. The food was subpar, but edible.

Brenda Floyd

Great family restaraunt. Super generous portions. Super tasty food. Comfortable atmosphere. Neat gift shop.

Steven Wolf

Good food. Decent prices.

Jack Forbes

Had the new fried chicken dinner awesome! Best bang for your buck!

Jean Walton

Great ambience, food was good, wait staff did ok.

Dan Nicholson

Havent been in a long while so I decided to eat breakfast there today. Scrambled eggs with cheese were done well, as was the bacon. Sausage patties were nothing to write home about. Prices have gone up ($2.69 for a diet coke is ridiculous), and there is better food for less or the same money at several competitors down the street.

Nicol Nowlin

Great Food and Friendly service with a family friendly environment

Cathy Solis

Great food, excellent gift shop! Delicious home style vegetables, entrees and desserts! The personnel here are attentive, friendly and accommodating. We bought a chocolate pecan pie as suggested by the cashier as we paid for our meals. So looking forward to enjoying this after our Thanksgiving dinner. Cracker Barrel always reinforces our thoughts on returning to this happy, enjoyable restaurant.

Rosie White

As usual the service and the food was great. Our server Deshon was attentive and polite! Great experience!

Andy Sixx

Mackenzie had the absolute WORST service I’ve ever received from any restaurant. Don’t be a waitress if you don’t like “working with people” as she personally told my husband and I. The food wasn’t any better. Told our waitress our food was over cooked and she touched it. Picked it up and left it. Trash.

Kathy McKee

Delicious breakfast fast! Friendly staff who isn't afraid to come back several times and ask if you're doing ok! Great coffee...

Benton Lindsey

Disappointed in quality of the fried Chicken, like it had been refried and too much black pepper.

Amber Kirkland

I went to get a to go order of some of that fried chicken I keep seeing commercials of, but after 10 minutes of waiting, reminding staff I was there and even seeing a manager, nobody took my order. I looked around the store a bit then left bummed. But I know this place is usually way better and the food is usually delicious. Well, what I've had before anyway. It's just the service was off this time around.

Malllory Richers

If there was a zero star or negative they would have gotten that. They didn’t bring all our food out and we had to ask twice to get it. Then they served us moldy food. I would highly recommend NEVER Going here.

Beverly Kunkle

Awesome service and food. Such friendly people! Love the old time things you can buy on the store side of the restaurant!

TellnItLike ItIs

This was our very first time here, and we were quite impressed. The food was delicious and our hostess Ashley W. was outstanding!! We will be returning frequently.

Theresa Voivedich

I placed an order to go and was advised that it would ready in 30 minutes the chicken was burnt after an additional 15 minutes for my order I will not be ordering anything to go anymore!! Very disappointed.

Kelley Tyus

Yvonne Beyers

Love to go for breakfast. Food is always good

Nic Nice

Tons of food, love the breakfast! Grits and fresh biscuits with jam! 2 people = $20 Great price!

Aleah Camp

I cant believe I didn't go here sooner! Service was great.. Fun table games, great food and very homey atmosphere! 5 stars for perfect.

Brian Bryant

American comfort food. It is fast and delicious. I'm not a shopper, but I've found many unique items for family and friends. They serve breakfast all day, have daily specials, and the seasonal items are changed to keep choices fresh. They have ample parking but can get busy. If you are going during a peak time you can expect a 20 min wait. Sundays after church, it becomes a 30 min wait.

R L

Very busy during lunch but it was a short wait. They had complimentary strawberry lemonade for cooling off while rocking on the front porch. Comfort food at its best!

elissa lisk

I had placed an online order, picked it up & went home; missing half of my order. The manager (Don?) & staff was SUPER nice about the entire situation & replaced the entire order not just the missing items, and I didn't ask for such. It's this kind of customer service that really stands out; YES it was a huge inconvenience but in food service sh*t happens (I used to work food) & they made it up, exponentially. Thank you for the amazing breakfast.

Caitlin Roberts

I've been here a few times and they usually have good service but the wait time tends to be a gamble. Sometimes you're in and out quickly, other times you wait 40 minutes to get food. Overall not a bad place.

Trey Lewis

I can only comment on their breakfast. It is really good food. The staff are always helpful. I would suggest the "country boy breakfast" if you are feeling hungry. My wife likes the pancake breakfast. I have never been to a restaurant with better pancakes. Also, the store located in the lobby is wonderful. I always find something I want in there. They have everything from clothing to candy.

Rick Mann

My wife and I really enjoy Cracker Barrel restaurant. You can order breakfast all day. Excellent assortment of lunch and dinner options also. From sandwiches and burgers to full blown dinner options.

Samuraiii !

The food was wonderful and the staff was great. We stopped in on vacation multiple times, each one being just as great as the last. The food was hot and fresh and the store had wonderful little trinkets.

Rodney Wright

At 7:00 AM no hostess, had to wait for a waitress to seat me. But food is always good

Ainsley Collins

Good food, good service and they allow overnight RV/van parking.

Garbabs Garbucs

Awesome location. Dothan location 10 times better than panama city fl or marianna fl locations. Food much much better

Philip Wright

I eat at Cracker Barrel frequently while traveling for the great food, fair prices, and warm old time feel and service. One this occasion, we decided to try their take out. We saw the 12 pc chicken picnic meal on TV so we called in advance to place our order. They asked what time would we like to pick up, and said it would be ready. We arrived on time, only had to wait 5 minutes for them to finish packing our "basket". I was amazed when they brought out a box with a carry handle and the size of an actual picnic basket. Inside everything was individually packaged and protected, including the quarts of mashed potatoes, gravey, corn, biscuits, Spoons, knives, forks, napkins, wet naps. This is a take out dinner that you can bring home with pride, or go straight to the picnic area. The food was hot, and delicious. This was a great experience and fantastic meal.

Allen Smock

Great Food and Great Company makes for a fantastic first date

Dimitri Madrid

Homestyle meals, delicious sides, and friendly service. Fantastic place to take the whole family!

Karen Ziska

The fried chicken is great! Friendly staff, affordable prices.

Steve Wallace

Still a great place to eat. But the new fried chicken option is a NO

Doug Johnson

My wife and I were invited out and treated to a Sunday lunch with friends. I have never been before and found it to be a pleasure. I'm not sure we will return because it's not my wife's or mine style of food. There's nothing wrong it's just not our style. I did find wheelchair access to be a challenge, both entrance and exit is through a gift shop which I difficult to navigate without people, it was packed both entering and exiting.

D Glass

One of the best Cracker Barrel restaurants I've been to in a while! The food was all the same as expected, it's the service that made all the difference. Hosts/hostesses and servers we all very friendly, pleasant, clean. None of them looked like they rolled around in the parking lot before clocking in. After a few minutes I noticed what appeared to be a manager actually helping one of the servers and several times saw him running food, filling drinks, checking on tables, and even bussing a few - I've never seen a cracker barrel manager do much more than hold up the wall while playing on their phone. This location gets it right.

Lucindy Weaver

Sat for 10 minutes before they took my drink order. The drinks didn't have much ice and the tea was hot. Didn't get much food was out of alot of the sides. I have been to alot of Cracker Barrel before by for the worst one. I usually love them but it was terrible. They apologized for everything. Also the food was not hot

Tyler Swanson

The hospitality is outstanding! Clarissa was very attentive and truly made me feel at home.

Annette DeCroix

Cracker Barrel is always a cut above when it comes to good old southern style food.

Katherine Thompson

The only thing that I'd change is the amount of space .. I'm a bigger lady and in a wheelchair. It doesn't quite have enough space for a bariatric wheelchair to go through the dining room area. and I would have appreciated if it would have had just a little bit more space. The staff however is entirely great. They're extremely helpful they move some tables around for me. they got me everything I ask for in a few things I didn't ask for trying to make me feel better about myself which I really appreciate. I will definitely be back

Susan Odum

Great place , Great food , Great service !!!!! My favorite place to go eat .

Liam Smith

Cracker Barrel is always a warm and welcoming place with good food. Excellent service and good prices. The store always has unique items that make good gifts.

Kim Carter

Food was so good. Chicken and dumplings were off the chain!!

Kerry foy

Really Good food at a really good price. Country Cooking and a Country Store with great products. My wife and I enjoy going there.

Lorenzo Ruiz Castro

When you walk into this place it seems like it's just a gift store with different trinkets, toys and clothing but as you make your way around you realize that they have a huge dinning area. the host takes you to your table and a waitress rapidly is there to take your order. food comes out pretty quickly. quality is decent. the only complaint I have is they dont give you enough time to enjoy your appetizer or salad before they bring the main course which I turn you have to decide which of the two to eat. other than that we enjoyed the food and the hot cornbread/ biscuits and honey. most definitely we"ll return.

K J

We visited Cracker Barrel this morning for a girls breakfast. Our server Emily was amazing!!! She was very attentive and sweet! This Cracker Barrel always has wonderful food and the staff is always friendly.

tiolrnow

This place is alright. The cook the food with either too much butter or too much olive oil so I always leave here feeling sick. I usually end up having an awful #2 after eating here.

Janice Melton

One of my favorite restaurants

Monica Mora

Cornbread was bland...great service....fried fish was good

Russ Ewing

Loved the boiled cabbage and of course the turnip greens!

Daniel Gomez

Great food good service.

Victor Payne

The service was great. Sonja H. Was our server. Very attentive to our needs!

Kelly Stuart

Great old school restaurant in downtown bessemer. Been open for over 100 years, that alone is a good reason to go. Always upgrade to the Greek salad. Snapper throats are the best in the state...if they have them.

Rodney Lazear

It's ok. Really hot in there though.

Tony Cockerham

It had been almost a year since I had the pleasure of eating at Cracker Barrel and I was craving it again! Thankfully, my craving was not disappointed. Everything was great! The food was awesome! There service was pleasant, kind, and fast with no mistakes! I was well pleased!

barry cole

Good food. Country cooking. Great attitudes. Good service.

J4rrex

Love this place ever since I was a kid and as an adult it is still fantastic. Before you check in or after you finished your meal, they have a mini store with an abundance of candies, toys, and will have something for anyone. On to the food. I loved the food and so did my significant other. Large menu with something for everyone. And while you wait for your food they have this triangle puzzle thing that tests how smart you are, it's pretty tricky. I had to knock one star off for the place not being the cleanest, but customer service was fantastic and so was the food so I will definitely be back.

Robert Bush

Food is always good. Sometimes the service is a little slow. My order always varies. I've always enjoyed there roast beef.

Jacob Mortenson

We were sat in the back by the window around 7:20. We don't know for sure because none would tell me for certain when they sat us. We sat until 7:32, when a couple who was sat in the last two minutes had their drink order taken. We got up to complain and leave, when our waiter, a big tall young guy with attitude, walks over and asks if we still wanted to eat. I tell him no we are going to complain and leave. He said, real snarky, "okay great my bad. Have a good night." So while we are waiting another ten minute for the manager to come talk to us, y'all guy comes and clears his table, and I'm guessing that's why they couldn't tell me when I was sat. Doug finally comes out to speak to me, my partner has gone to the car already, hungry, and frustrated because we are right in the middle of a move to New Mexico. He offers us free food or to come back and get a meal on him, which is expected, but unfortunately they will not be able to make up for the lack of skills, as we're moving. If you are sat in the section of a big tall young man, I think his name was Brian, ask to be seated in another section.

Jay S

I was seated with my wife and we were served drinks. Placed our order and didn't get food or even see our waitress again for almost an hour. Got up to go to the counter and pay for the drinks and the cashier got an attitude. Mentioned that we had been seated almost an hour ago and just wanted to pay for our drinks and she said "just go, maybe you shouldn't have come here if you didn't have time to wait." Little girl, I didn't have time for the chicken to lay the eggs for my food, so put the sass away and learn some politeness.

Joaquin Perez

Awesome Experience here. Great food great staff

MayanMountainInc

My family's favorite place to eat. We love the food, price and portion size.

Audrey de Lange

Today the service wasn't very good although the food was as good as normal.

Leatha Wilson

Ordered the fried chicken and it was way to salty for my taste. The brussel sprout-kale slaw was okay but the carrots were overcooked and tasted water logged if that's even a taste the corn bread was dry and cold. However, the staff was very courteous.

Mike Wobrock

We came here on a quazi vacation. We had never been to one and were pleased. They have good down home cooking here. I have had grits since I visited my grandma in Georgia. Lots of options to choose from. My wife informed me that we just got one back home. I look forward to trying that one too. Recommended.

Darryl Dunnam

The atmosphere was great. They people were friendly and the food was very good .

Shirley Jones

We got in less than 10 minutes and it was fathers day and it was crowded.The food and service was great and me and my husband donated blood that day also.

Nate R

Great food, friendly service and atmosphere!

Mike Armstrong

Got take out. Ordered on line. All went flawlessly. Love that they pull everything out and verify you have it all right. No surprises when you get home, just great food for a fair price.

Linda Patrick

If I could I would give them a zero the food is so untasted

D R

Simple but good food for reasonable prices.

Katrinia Walter

Love Cracked Barrel not only to eat but to buy clothes, gift cards & other country items.

Cameron Prater

Very crowded but great food as always. Service was alright.

Candace Davis

I live in Texas and eat breakfast at Crackle Barrel most weekends. I love the Colorado location. Nice people. Beautiful scenery. Same good food.

CImportant Message

First time visiting I love it they really set the vibe you feel welcome by just having rocking chairs u can sit in outside and then enter being treated by all type of goodies I admit it's over prices in the store but they are items u don't see everyday so I get that..the food was wonderful the service gets 5 stars the wait was no existing I had a great first experience I will be taking my family back for my son's birthday I think they will love it..I went for a business lunch it was so nice I wished my family was there the first time I felt a little bad they weren't there and I enjoyed it but with great company. Also my corporate guest loved it all the way from Arizona and they suggested it because they never get to go here during their travels but always wanted to we we're all impressed

Kimberley Payne

Roe is a great waitress there and the food is always good.

Kayla Castle

We wanted to make a reservation for 13 people we were told they cannot make reservations over the phone.. we showed up asked for table for 13 people was told to wait a half an hour. After ordering the food we got all except for two people's plates...while everyone else is eating we sat there waiting until everyone was finished eating. I was very upset as being one of these people that did not receive food after a half an hour of waiting!!! it's a little ridiculous to have the whole tables food ready except for two people!

Evelyn Esparza

ate here for the fiest time with ny family and I can't wait to go back for a visit and a pit stop here

Elliott 1

Had breakfast for lunch. It was amazing. Pilar, the waitress was very good. If it was possible, I'd go there daily.

Tiffany Saffold-Bawa

Fast friendly service. Fresh food.

Shirley Jyoti Jenkins

Love visiting the store so much to see. I had to taste the new fried chicken. It is delicious. I enjoyed my meal!

Sarah Whitehead

We love eating at the Dothan Cracker Barrel. We've never had to wait to be seated, the service and the food is excellent every time and I just love the store! I always find a neat treasure in there. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this restaurant branch at all ✔

Erick M Cedeno

As always the Cra kernel Barrel did not disappoint. The place just feels so welcoming, the staff is great and the food is amazing! This visit was extra special because I took my daughter for the first time and thanks to our AMAZING waitress ROCHELE, we had such an amazing experience. She was so helpful, patient and kind. Though the restaurant was full, Rochelle was always so attentive to all her tables, not skipping a beat and always with a beautiful welcoming smile. Thank you so much for the excellent experience.

Javier Sanchez

Pancakes and French Toast yo. Don't be wack B.

Richard Reid

First time at this location and it was delicious! Very nice waitresses and a very nice manager!

Donovan B.

Great food at great prices! I enjoy spending time with the family here. They have great pancakes if you didn’t already know!

Sam Casillas

Great food. Great service

Christine Dimiceli

Fun place to shop and eat! The food is good time comfort eating. Pleasantly pleased!

Allison Bender-Romero

The food was good, but the waitress forgot some of our food. We asked twice but never received our item. Her excuse was she was having a bad day and she was new. The table next to us was there before we were and never received their meal at all (we left before them). Definitely need stronger training for their wait staff!

jm frary

Food was really good, as usual. Service was less than stellar, as usual. Server never offered refills, was scarce and slow in responding to requests.

Brandi Sowell

The food was delicious they were aim to please, very friendly and the gift shop is terrific. Definitely going back.

Tanya Caswell

I go here a lot and the last time I did the waitress was great but it took a long time to get our food and the manager was very rude that was working that night saying that they were short staffed n the kitchen and he didn't know what to tell us that we just need to deal with it like he was. The food was ok but I have had better. The poor waitress was trying to go above and beyond for us especially since the manager was being rude.

Judith Jones

The menu was varied. I chose the day's special which was fried chicken with two sides. My granddaughter chose their signature dumplings. We both enjoyed our choices. I always enjoy Cracker Barrel.

Gabrielle Schmidt

Wonderful place, great food, great place to shop.

amy fitch

Server got mad cause we asked someone to bring us plates because in the 15 minutes she had from the time she dropped off biscuits she didnt bring us any or butter. So the rest of our meal was with her and her attitude.

Barbara McGhee

In the past, this was one of my favorite places to eat! I can't Express how disappointed I was today. I ordered Country Ham, and 4 sides. The Pinto Beans BROKE when pinched, they were NOT cooked! The Broccoli was hard and cold, wouldn't even melt the butter I put on them. The Okra was hard, and the mashed potatoes were cold. Nuff said, I came home hungry and really disappointed.

Laurie Wyatt

Food is okay but I LOVE their gift shop. It's the best gift shop ever.

Howard Tress

The food came out cold. The butter NEVER melted on my waffle and half the staff had a cold. No happy probably will not go back to that restaurant.

Tristan Osterman

Service was kinda slow. Servers were more focused on what time it was than giving good service. Food was pretty good.

Steve Koehler

Service and food were spectacular. Our waiter Taylor was the best. Love coming here

Tristian Weaver

We had a few misunderstandings with the kitchen and our food came out wrong. Our server Roe was so patient and kind with our complicated order and then when it came out funky she immediately fixed it and with a smile. The manager came out and instead of explaining with excuses he took everything that needed fixed away and made sure we were happy. I couldnt believe what a great staff they had all around and it shows why (the manager) thank you Roe for such a pleasant breakfast we will be back!

J S Bailey

We were in an area where wasn't many choices for lunch. Their staff is very friendly. The food is like prepackaged meals though. Good for what it is.

James McCranie

Their really on top of their game here...itd b even better if they hired me..lol

Karen Lasitter

Price is way too high a family of four could not go there and eat which is sad the price of should not be this high for Okeechobee

Melodie Wantuch

We went and right before closing and our waitress was absolutely wonderful!

Gail Fowell

Very cool place. Good service and food.

Donna W Gustafson

Greetings, Sunday morning crowd. Meal was good & our server lady did her best to keep up. Happy trails

Ron Etter

Lunch with our granddaughter oh yea good food also

nancy burchfield

Everything is good. Wish more in Denver area.

Amanda Biggs

I love Cracker Barrel. Good food and the shop in front is always nice to browse.

serina Serrano

Love this place my family and I come here very frequently!! Never disappoints us! Great service and a lot of food for a great price!!

Jo Smyth

The portions and quality of the food were really sad. A huge disappointment. Front service and staff was VERY friendly however the food not only looked bad but also did not taste very good. Hamburger patties were definitely Frozen and thrown on a grill. The sad little piece of wilted lettuce and the small quarter size slice of tomato were very unappetizing. The bun was the best part. Portion of undercooked fries was disheartening. The four chicken tenders we're hardly one chicken tender combined. The portions of the sides we're very, very small. Maybe it would have seems like more food if a smaller plate has been used. We did not attempt to speak with management about rectifying the situation and elected to use this as a learning opportunity. This is a far cry from what Cracker Barrel used to be. The portions used to be generous and very appetising in appearance. I understand that the choice of food that evening was not the traditional food ordered at Cracker Barrel with gravies, jams, breakfast type items and country meats, however frozen is frozen fresh is fresh and most likely we will not return unless we need something from the country store.

Ron Catalano

The food is always great, the facility is clean, the servers I have had are always friendly. Ask for Ms. Edith, she is very efficient. Checks back often for coffee warm ups, or tea refills, and to see if order is right.

D Hi

Really depends on meal how it goes. Often it's cool in there so bring a jacket! IMO Breakfast is the best meal here. Quite a bit of food. Supper wasn't as impressive. Food OK but breakfast is better. Really need to replace the worn - dirty menus. I don't want to touch some of them. Appreciate the staff checks on you regardless if there table or not. They are friendly. If I could find a path to the door without going through 'store' and maneuvering all the people just trying to wait in line - it would be wonderful.

Robert R

This was one of the most memorable meals I've had in a long time. Emily was our server and was very attentive. The food was SPECTACULAR. I had the Chicken Fried Steak breakfast. The Steak was so tender and spiced just right. I picked the apples and grits for my side dishes, both were fantastic. The portions were generous, I had to bring some home. I definitely want to return and order the Chicken Fried Steak dinner.

David Smith

Some friends and I visited the Dothan location. It was by far the worst Cracker Barrel I’ve been to and I’ve LOVE Cracker Barrel. The place was disgusting. Food was smashed and trash was on the floor every where. The bathrooms looked as if they hadn’t been cleaned in a month. All of our forks were caked with dried food (not water spots) but literal FOOD. The waitress was friendly but the food was anything but good. Two of our friends actually got sick from the Ham and Chicken Dumplings. Just awful. Avoid at all costs!

Patty McGowan

I had the grilled pork chop and it was great!!! The sides were good, too. I had fried okra and mashed potatoes with brown gravy. The service was great, also. I believe the boy's name was Nolan and he was very attentive and there promptly when we needed something. This Cracker Barrel is in Dothan, Al., off Ross Clark Circle. Thanks for a great meal and great experience!!! Love it!!!

Cathy R

The Sunday night special is the best so we always go on Sunday. We went on Mother's Day and the were really crowded, but they got us a table within 10 mins. Our waiter was great, he kept all of our drinks filled very quickly. It was a great night with great service and amazing food!!

michael cyr

Food was ok...not the quality that I remember from yrs ago. Service was good, staff friendly. Prices were on par for Dothan.

Wendy Lopez

their wait staff is utterly open to requests to build a meal from individual items, even if that combination is not on the menu. I don't mind if they need to upcharge for some of those combinations, and I let them know it, both verbally and by tipping additionally. As a person with an extremely restricted diet, I find that Cracker Barrels are about a decade ahead of the curve in offering food to those who cannot eat much of what modern humans consume.

Greg Johnson

Great food and service. Love going here

JacqueLynn A

Food was at best warm. Not appetizing. Thrown on the plate. Service minimum. The store was good! Lots of neat Halloween stuff

Marilyn Woods

One of my favorite breakfast spots but wasn't the best

J Heidel

I know they were busy but tables that were set 30 minutes after us got their food long before we did. It was dried out, apparently it had been setting waiting to be delivered. Our server was Makalea or so we were told. She didn't take our drink order or food order. We asked 3 times for water refills. We asked for a box & the check with no results. Finally had to get up & find another server to get the box & then someone else had to track down the check. She should be a host or cashier because she isn't a server. Our son took us out for Father's Day, it was our 1st & last time at this location.

TODD WILLIS

Always good food and service

Karen Dixon

We REALLY LOVE TAKING UNCLE BAY HE FOR SUNDAY DINNER WE ENJOYED HOT FRESH FOOD

JEREMY GREEN

The food is good, service not so good. Why do they tell you it will be ready for pickup in 10 min and I have been here for 30 minutes??? I already paid so they must think I dont exist anymore. This is twice in a row! Not acceptable!!!

MASK Crafting

There berrel cheeseburger is so gokd with their home made fries that us the bomb

Rachel Olson

Normally a 5 star but this one was grand central station with slow wait staff.. And on a side note - Hey CB, how about not fixing what wasnt broke.. You changed your practices to keep prices low BUT still charge the same if not more; with LESS on the menu!!

Margaret Taylor

The store have very nice thing but I was in the Restaurant and food was very good, great price and very very friendly people and clean

Jason Hebrard

It was good but both our kids went #fullsend and were being total savages. We had to box it up and GTFO so mom could go ham on them in the parking lot. Definitely going back for more gravy.

Marisa Garding-Brown

It was ok. The food was good, once I managed to get my server to take it back to be cooked all the way. Service was slow and quite lacking.

Temia Torres

I remember coming here when I was younger, the food was so good! My experience this time was not great. Was served over cooked chicken tenders, got a new batch that were raw! Talked to the GM and he smiled and just took my food away. Was not offered any other replacement for food. I guess he wanted me to sit here and watch my grandparents eat. The server on the other hand was so helpful and amazing, it wasn’t her fault the food and management fell short. Will not be coming back!

ruth prescott

We had a really bad experience a couple of months ago. Complained to Cracker Barrell Corporate. Told them we did NOT want anything free, just to get Dothan's location that maybe additional training. Tried it again tonight. Nothing had changed. Just like before, waitress did not listen, took our order and then immediately after she wanted on the people next to us. They got their drinks before we did, we had to ask for ours. Won't keep grossing, will say the course of our meal got no better. We will not be returning to the Dothan, Al again. Good luck if you decide to give them a go.

Malisa Cox

They have the best fried catfish filets around.

Sasha Scheer

Cool place with interesting candy and decorations. The restaurant has decent American breakfast food Good place.

Allison Gilmore

My husband's pancakes were burned, my hashbrown casserole was disgusting & all this after habing to wait over 30 minutes for our food

My special needs son and I visited this Cracker Barrel this afternoon. The staff seem to need some retraining on social etiquette. After explaining to one of the employees that my son was nonverbal and has autism one of the first things she asked me was if he'll 'grow out of it'. A common (extremely hurtful) question I tried to overlook. Then proceeded to ask me if I was an Anti-Vaxxer...strongly inappropriate question for a business setting, in my opinion. Then made light of her comments by saying she sometimes would like to be nonverbal too...adding on that she didn't want to make light of his PROBLEM. My toddler son was picking through the toys in the shop while she checked us out. He greatly enjoyed his visit. I, on the other hand, did not. I dearly hope that when he's old enough to understand this type of discrimination that the world will be just a little more understanding of people like him. Your staff needs retraining if they don't have common sense and a grasp of social norms. But regardless, I'm afraid we won't be back to this particular location again.

Randy Pryor

Service good. Asked for chopped steak to be medium came very well done with raw onions on top. ??? Turnip greens were dry and taste like sawdust. Usually very happy with QB but this time the cook needs be sent back to McDonald's to flip burgers.

Casey Jordan

I can get lost in the country store area. I did not eat there this time but went in to get my Ale-8 fix and they were well stocked. Friendly service as always. I love that the prices are fair and that they carry the variety of specialized sodas! Ale-8 makes this Kentucky girl happy!

Keith Cauley

One of our favorite places to eat. Being seated was fast. Our waitress was friendly and kept our glasses full. The food was prepared and brought to our table quickly. We enjoy going for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

robert white

They were out of most everything we ordered. Even when we ordered food they were supposed to have the server would come back after a few minutes and say they were out of substitutes. Never did get everything we ordered as a sub. Will never go here again.

Kevan Mcadams

Always need to go into the old store the food is really good lots of choices we always enjoy eating at Cracker Barrel

Jim O'Dell

Great food for a great price

Hayat Chick

The food was absolutely horrible that I ordered it was the roast beef. I talk to the manager and she said that she would take that meal off the bill but in the meantime are you hungry for something else or can I get something else for you and I said fried Chicken so she brought two small pieces a leg and a wing. The waitress was amazing best one I've ever had her name was Danielle she did everything she could to make us happy. now back to the manager as we went to go pay our bill I was informed that we are being charged for two meals instead of one the front desk lady went back and asked about it and the manager said that she gave me a meal replacement two pieces of chicken is not a replacement four would have been I should not have been charged for that meal at all her name is Sarah and I will be talking to corporate very soon about the situation.

Susan Hutcheson

The food was great as always I had the new fried Chicken which was excellent atmosphere was pleasant and comfortable.

Sherry Sheffield

Great food. Usually friendly welcome. Today the hostess was very unfriendly and distant. Very slow moving. Her service was poor. No smiles at all. My waitress was very friendly and helpful. Eager to serve.

Lynne Brodd

Had about a 10 minute wait as we got the just after 12 noon. Service good as always. Ordered the fried chicken salad which I would recommend. It was fresh crisp greens, grape tomatoes (fresh, juicy and delicious), cucumber sliced and grated Colby cheese. The blue cheese dressing was exceptional.

Drea Sou

If you've ever stopped in a Cracker Barrel, you'll know what to expect; hearty portions for cheap, friendly service with stars on their aprons, and a unique storefront experience to pass the time. This location is no exception. While wait times can get quite lengthy (especially on the weekends), they do quite a good job at getting everyone seated and served in a timely manner. The food itself is always fresh and filling with a southern comfort flair - for the price, you really can't beat it. I'd suggest looking at their rotating sides (changes depending on the day of the week) and seasonal offerings!

Anthony Reyes

Great experience. Food was delicious and even the staff was great!

tammy bernier

Good food & service. No wait. Love the gift shop!

Susan Mondragon

Sunday chicken any time and fried chicken great store

Tana Taylor

I love visiting this place! There is a server there that is so friendly and always gets my orders right by the name of Kristina G. I ask for her every time I go there! She is the epitome of what a true Southerner is supposed to be. This place is always clean. If you are planning to stay awhile, bring a cushion! Cracker Barrel has the most uncomfortable chairs of any restaurant there is. It is really difficult to maneuver a wheelchair through there, but this is an issue at every Cracker Barrel. Patrons like to stop and chat in the main aisle and don't like to be asked to move. It is always nice when the fireplace is going and the lanterns are lit on the tables. It is an "awe" moment to sit and take it all in. The pancakes here are huge and filling, especially the pecan ones!

Daniel Edison

It was good food and great service.

Steven Mawby

Awesome breakfast! A bit of a wait for a table, but that's a given for great food and service! I'll definitely be there again. YUM

Bob Lee

The coop is very good and the waitresses very nice I recommend it to everybody

WILLIAM L. ROTENBERRY

Always good country type sit down meal. Never go there in a hurry.

Melissa Deal

Great service and food as always. The best pancakes anywhere and it's always fun checking out the store!

Cracker Barrel in Dothan, AL for Mothers Day weekend Lunch. Biscuits hot and fresh. The fried chicken meal was good. It was overcrowded and didn't seem to be prepared for crowd with staff and food. Server was nice but had a long wait for our order to come and some of our order wasn't right when we got it. Server too busy and unable to keep our drinks filled. Server also said it was about 45 minutes on some food because they ran out, so we just made do and made the most if the moment with family.

D L

Food was terrible. We would have walked out if it not been for one young server who was very friendly and hard working.

Jimmy Clay

Food was great as always.Waitresses were awesome.

Cathy Blakeman

Love the home cooking and the prices. Great variety of options. I love the pick 4 sides option for when I just can't decide what I want. Service is always good and welcoming.

Soren Brown

Fast friendly service. Food was pretty good. Affordable prices.

Scott Moore

Love this place friendly staff great place to eat I highly recommend

Shayna German-Carter

The food was hot and fresh and was brought to our table quickly even though it was extremely busy. Our waitress was very personable and it was a joy for her to serve us.

Justin Coyle

Food was good, not amazing. It's good simple country grub!

Johnny W

Always loved crackerbarrel great family food place. Reasonably priced with great grandma's sunday breakfast kinda food

p gill

This place is one of our favorites. We buy a lot of clothes and gifts in the shop, and the food is great.

Dez Camacho

Very nice. Great food great service

Glenda Joanne Duming

It has good and well prepared food if you are a fan of Southern cooking. Most of the meals are too much food for me so I order a la carte. On this visit I had a house salad with crumbled bacon and a baked sweet potato. The potato came with cinnamon butter. Yum, delish!. The items were tasty and presented well. Prices are reasonable. My brother ordered the fried chicken special. THERE WAS 4 BIG PIECES OF CHICKEN ON THE PLATE!! in addition, 2 sides and the choice of corn bread or biscuits. That is too much food for one person. So if you eat at Cracker Barrel, either share or ask for a take home box. There is enough for 2 meals on each plate.

Elizabeth Romero

Clean building consistently good food a value

Jennifer Ford

Omg best French dip I have ever had!

Pinky Rochelle

The staff is not the best, it’s rare for them to get an order right, the food is mediocre at best, & the best thing it has going for it is the nostalgic consistency. Today an employee named Allison took it upon herself to stick her dirty working hands in My child’s curly hair when she brought us our food to go. Do not touch children or stick your hands in kinky Curls! Very annoyed with the audacity.

Charles Beard

Food was okay some of my wife's and my dinner came out cold. Service was okay at best wasn't a very good waitress. More than likely we won't be back

Danielle Dawsey

Great service. Good food

Leesha Leesha

Well, aside from the pancakes, the food was only ok. Service was horrible. Waited for fat too long (approx 15 mins) just for refills. Less than impressive. Hadn't been here on awhile and think it could very well be another long while to be back unless I am craving pancakes. That's the only thing worth the price and the wait.

Bonnie Fournier

The building was cold people were wearing hoodies and sweaters to try to keep warm.and the food is not the quality I remember from a few years ago. Service was okay but the people who worked there did not seem happy to be there. Even the person who seated us.

Sheila Devine

It was CROWDED! It's understandable on Thanksgiving. The food was very good and didn't take any extra time to get out. Hannah, our waitress was awesome. She's very sweet. Maryann was wonderful to meet and talk to and so was everyone else. Whoever came up with holding your spot in line from online is a genius. It takes us about an hour to get there so my sister-in-law went online to hold our spot so we didn't have to wait a whole additional hour to be seated. We'll definitely go there again.

Collette Barnes

We ate dinner here this afternoon 7/31/19 with another couple. Our friends both had the meat loaf dinner and their proportions were so inconsistent. One had a really nice slice of meat loaf and the other had a thin slice. The food looked and tasted like it had been sitting in the kitchen for hours...not fresh at all. We were so disappointed. Also, it was ridiculously cold in the restaurant. We even sat next to the window trying to be warmer but it didn't work. Our waitress, even though she may have been joking, but said some not too nice things to us. Overall it was an extremely bad experience for us all. We won't be back to this Dorhan location.

Bryan Eakins

If you like "good ol' American food", that's delicious - - this place is for you. If you like welcoming & friendly service, this place is for you. If you like generous portions for an equally fair price, this place is for you. If you like a gift/curio shop that rivals that of the now closed White Fence Farm, this place is for you. If you like any combination of these, it's not just for YOU - - it's for EVERYONE!

Torey Hicks

We went a hour before closing and the place was super friendly and clean. Our waitress was informative and friendly. One of the best dining experiences we have ever had.

Brendan Kosovich

Hands-down one of THE best restaurant experiences in my whole life! Cracker Barrel does not disappoint; and my most recent visit to this location proved that point. The decor is wonderfully laid out as a comforting old-style American home, the food is absolutely delicious, the price is great, the service is fast and friendly, and there's always a cute gift-store to check out either before or after eating. I will definitely be returning here and would highly recommend breakfast, lunch or dinner at this fantastic establishment.

Cherie Van Duyn

We haven't been to the Cracker Barrel in quite a while, a year or so. The service was mediocre and the food was ok. However, this visit was 100% better. We were very pleased with the options on the menu, as well as the service. The meal was quite yummy! Our server, Lexi, was on point!!!!! We hope to have her as our server on future visits!!

Judy Gale

Good food love to shop there store to.

Terrie Krause

75% of what we wanted to eat they were out of. They did comp. our meal that we had to settle for. One of the items was there white gravy, one of their signature items.

Abel

Great place. Food in great

Bob Vaughan

My mashed potatoes were warm not hot. Wife's dumplings were warm not hot. The server stopped by once, asked if we wanted anything else. Pushed the ticket under a plate and walked away

Christina Harris

Elizabeth B was our server and she was excellent!! Dothan Cracker barrel is always clean, servers are awesome, management is always out helping when needed, and the food is always great. .. We even bought the new Pecan Bread Pudding i cant wait to eat it!! Try the Dothan Cracker Barrel.. We drive to Dothan from Enterprise because there is not one there..

Sharon V Harrell

Always good food and a touch of southern charm

Jessica Ortega

Tried to order by phone by kitchen wouldn't answer the phone. I'll try elsewhere.

jb dalvit

Needs better indoor waiting...store is too crowded to be comfortable. Also, fix your online reservations- i reserved, then was told it doesn't really do any good, and we ended up waiting 45 min, even though my online wait said 15-20, completely worthless. Food was good, but not worth the wait. Service was great, and prices for food and store items reasonably priced.

Paula Liberty

The chicken...excellent. The greens were all salt. Service was efficient!

Kylee Estrella

My best friend I enjoy coming here once a month and Desiree (cool glasses and light hair) took care of us so well. I wanted the banana pudding with my meal to try and the menu was very misleading with its new sides and upcharges. Long story short I got my pudding for no extra charge and left full and feeling appriciated as a customer. Thanks for the extra mile Dez, this place is so lucky to have you.

Chris Senn

Crazy busy this Thanksgiving Night. Super backed up but the staff did an amazing job and with a smile. They made it much easier and faster. You could see a great we'll run staff making everyone comfortable and happy. The food was delicious and we'll prepared. Thank you to our waitress who couldn't have been nicer and to the manager who was making it all flow. Even pitching in to clean tables when needed. I was impressed.

Dennis Johnson

Good food but lacked service. Waited over an hour and then they called over the intercom and said our table was ready. We go to the host who tells us they just wanted to get us to come inside and it would be ready in a few minutes. Why lie and say it's ready if it's not? Finally seated and then it's another 20 minutes before the order is taken. Very poor customer service, which is unusual for a Cracker Barrel.

Anne Norcross

Good place, have a gift store with really cool stuff from clothing to candies & a whole lot more. Ribeye was thin & came out overcooked, if get it get it either rare or well. Nice people, server was good.

Spencer Lee

There is a certainty to most chain restaurants in terms of the food. The difference typically is found in service. That made the difference last night. Tonya was as good as it gets in terms of taking care of a customer and making them feel welcome. Of course if you come to this Cracker Barrel you only have a certain percent chance you'll get Tonya but if she reflects the general approach of the staff then this would be a great stop.

Geoffrey Payne

The food was great like always. It was a little clustered and messy but they were busy in their defenses. It was great to see the manager sweeping and busing tables to help his team.

Matthew Travis

I've eaten here multiple times and the foods always good and the service is great. Fast seating for couples.

Ron Fullerton

Good food, wonderful service from very cheerful employees, with a chance to "think back" with all the goodies from yesterday hung on the walls and up in the rafters. Had a great time!

Greg Long

Good food and friendly staff.

Anna Silva

Cold cold plate?? They mustn't THINK?.. before u put Food on a plate. 1st! cook What Needs to be cooked fresh , such as Breakfast .. THEN.. Serve Up the Other plates that are Ready to plate.. Hate Luke warm foods! Then YOU CAN'T SEND BACK TO WARM.. they may Spit or ? And Rest of your Table is Already Done Eating??

Mark Chavez

This particular "Cracker Barrel" has really disappointing and poor service. Also the clientele leaves much to be desired. Don't go in here if you're not Caucasian.

Robin Dellinger

Great wait staff ..very friendly. Food was just ok. Tried the dinner special of pork chops and they tasted like they had been boiled... pretty tasteless. The biscuits and mashed potatoes were good.

grntj

Excellent wait staff! The food was served quickly and was tasty.

Willie C. Fagg

Everything in the meal was good except the steak. It was very tough. But I like Cracker Barrel so I will definitely be back again.

Damion Cole

For my first time I was pretty impressed! I will have to take my mum next time!

Layla White

Great place! Love the service and great food.

Eddie Lane

Food good but man's bathroom stunk. Urinals needed serious scrubbing and disinfecting. They didn't look to have been cleaned in a long time. Also the air conditioning in the dining area was cold enough to hang meat. After making that remark to my waitress she agreed but it stayed that way for about 30 minutes more.

Denise Thomas

So sad that the food was not up to par! It was my first bad meal at Cracker Barrell.

anggnbama

Great food. I always leave with a full belly and a smile on my face. The workers there are friendly attentive and do great service.

Lana Knoebel

I love Cracker Barrel it's always great and I always find something

Kristian Roberts

Great place for good ol American food! My family loves this place.

Chris CANNON

I love going into the store front and take in all of the items for sale. Such unique items to look at and the staff is always friendly and helpful. The pancakes are always great no matter which state your in. A very comfortable dining experience and the servers go above and beyond to help.

D.l. Overstreet

Fantastic gifts. Visiting relatives found many items to take home for adults and kids. I will return again soon.

Judy Thomas

It took our food forever to get there and when it got there the bacon was undercooked

Tina Morgan

Use to have much better servic & food. Very disappointed. This use to be my favorite place...now not so much

Sabrina Phillips

Great atmosphere and what I expect of Cracker Barrel! We had a newbie in training and I just told him to relax while waiting on us no pressure. He (Deshon) ended up being awesome!

melike' buttz

The only reason my mom wanted to go there was because they have a certain type of barbecue sauce that she really likes. And sure enough they were out of it when we got there. So Mom was ticked.

Michael Jones

Cracker Barrel is slways good but this visit was not the best. Food was not hot, service lackadaisical at best. Based on previous visits, they will get another chance.

Cecilia Brda

Breakfast was great. Service was outstanding

Tiffany Powell

Service was.better than the food this morning

Kevin Davis

Good food chicken and Dumplings.

Dustin Foster

Way too big portion sizes and the crafty for sale items are very high proceed. Food was fine for a dinner but nothing to write home about. Atmosphere is nice but obviously corporate styling.

Camarin Zanger

Best buttermilk pancakes I've ever had.

Tyler West

My first experience in a cracker barrel and I really enjoyed it. The meal that I ordered was very good and the staff was very friendly and made sure that you were satisfied with your time their. I also liked that they had a store front in front of the restaurant. It was my first experience like this and I look forward to going again.

Jeannette Daughtry

Good food,nice people, great store too.

dinah martinez

Suppose to be a nice evening with family to celebrate my 59th Birthday (what a disappointment) I choose Cracker Barrel first of all we waited 30 minutes to be seated their were seven of us so this waitress walks up with an attitude I knew it I felt her nasty vibes all the way on the other side of our table it began with taking our orders she said to me can you hurry I’m busy because I was still viewing the sides for my dinner then she came out & said I’m busy omg

Danelle Lovelace

Dirty, loud, took forever to get a table. Then an hour and 15 mins to get sub par food. I went for breakfast. Maybe other times might be better. Everything was under cooked. Disappointed....

Tawney Williams

Love it. I had never really been until recently. My gosh what was I missing! The vegetable plate is the way to go. All those yummy sides. Really great service at the restaurant in Dothan Alabama.

Bryan Miller

It is always the best place to go for comfort food I love Cracker Barrel

Misty Cason

I love their hashbrown casserole....so good! Good home country cooking at affordable prices. Lots of neat stuff to look at and buy.

Shelly Binder

Saw the ads for fried chicken this summer, so ordered a picnic box to go to an evening event. Chicken was good, but there were no napkins or utensils in the bag (even though I was told we would at least get forks and napkins), the mashed potatoes were dry and tasteless, biscuits were semi-hard and no butter, and the corn was cooked in water with no seasoning. I was so disappointed! Not to mention the total was $36! Went to another event a few weeks later and got the same meal from King Soopers - it was really tasty for a third the price. Lesson learned.

Sharom Spurvey

Good meals and very filling. Love their country store , many interesting things to look at and buy.

Kai Biederman

Well this usually is a great place but today on the 4th of July I reserved a table for my mother and I. It said come in 30 min and see the host to be seated. So we came 15 min early talked with the host and she said that’s the right time only 15 more min to wait. So 30 min went by so i went up and asked the host she said 15 more min we waited a total of an hour and 15 min only to be told another 20 min wait. So we left and went to Denny’s.

Cindy Bach

Love cb. Food always good. Service stinks.

Wilbur Mills

Great place to eat and shop for old fashioned items

Maria Grunwald

Yummy food and good prices! Service was excellent!

Brandon Ai

Best chicken and dumplings. Always love coming here

Laura Weimer

We called ahead and were told we would be placed on a list and seated when we arrived - in about 45 minutes. So we drove 30 min to get there, and drove around nearby for another 15 min since we have two toddlers. When we got there, we were told that even with call ahead there was a 45 min wait. They need up address this.

Caleb Foster

The staff at this Dothan Alabama location need better training. They will follow their black customers around the shop and not even bother being secretive about it. When a teenage girl can’t go to your restaurant without feeling profiled, you have a major problem.

Tammy Luther

It was okay. We had to send our shrimp back because it taste like the crust was not done. We also had to ask for more gravy on our mash potatoes. Then ask for refills on our drinks. Every one was very friendly though. I will go back again.

Lisa McKim

Cracker Barrel has hit or miss food, but the gift shop is great for anyone in your life - especially those who enjoy Americana.

The Domestic Desi

I love this place. Great food, family friendly, decent prices and it feels like you're stepping back in time. Chicken and dumplings, sweet tea and coca cola cake are my faves

Banned of Hammers

Overall good service. However my last visit I had a terribly cranky waitress. My order was gotten wrong twice. But love the location overall.

Miggz

Best friend chicken I've ever had. Sorry Mom.
