The Cracker-barrel Surrealist

When we arrived the parking lot seemed almost empty. It was on a Saturday evening around 5:15 pm. Upon checking in for a table we were told there was a thirty minute wait. They did not have enough servers. The food was lukewarm and ok but not great. It is not the servers fault because everyone I saw working looked like they were worn out and frazzled! It’s sad but that seems to be the standard now. Not sure we would come back next time but this area close to the airport has few good options.

This Cracker Barrel is very hidden behind some trees. Even their sign is covered up. To get there take the Airport Blvd. Exit away from the airport and go down about a half mile and turn right on Slater Road across from the Texas Steakhouse. Take the first left. My food and service was excellent. Ordered their great Lemon Rainbow Trout which is a good value also with two grilled filets. I had mashed potatoes and carrots with it. Service was friendly and prompt. As always make sure you look in the Cracker Barrel gift shop which has a great Christmas selection.

Well I walked in stood at the hostess stand for about 3 mins every one looking at me. But noone said anything to me. Finally one lady That walked past me 2 times set me throw my forks on the table walked away..ummm hello I know everywhere is short handed but at the same time it never should have happen that way. I also felt like my waitress throw my drinks down. I have been here a few times never been treated like this. Next time I'm in the area I will find some where else to eat.

Hubby and I decided to eat breakfast here to kick off July 4 festivities.Check in and order was prompt.The room was almost empty as it was 8:30 am.After a few min we saw more people got sitted after us ,like 3 tables.So we sat and talked and noticed the food is served in those 3 tables that came after us.I asked the server and she said it’s that 1 steak that’s holding our food.I ordered eggs and grits ,my hubby chose the item that has steak on it.It’s a joke to wait for it for almost 25 min.We eat out a lot,and felt like this place is discriminatory,never had this experience,and am never one to fuss.I didn’t feel happy spending my time and money here.There are better places out in the area that makes you feel happy.This place is pretentious and assuming and not a good place to eat out.

We came in for breakfast after a hotel stay in the area. We had to wait a bit for a table although the place was not too busy. Waitress was very pleasant and took care of us quickly. However, we were disappointed in the food. It was just so- so with the biggest issue being that it was not served hot! Eggs are never very tasty when they arrive luke warm. As we needed to head out on a long drive, we did not ask for them to be re-done but will think twice before eating here again if we pass through the area.
