Cracker Barrel - Mount Arlington

The service at this restaurant was excellent. Our waiter, Alex, took care of our party of 8 efficiently. He provided great recommendations and was very knowledgeable about the entire menu. One person in our group had allergies to draught, and Alex was very accommodating. Overall, it was a satisfying visit with a surprisingly affordable bill.

My go-to place in NJ when I want to eat southern food. My favorite side choice is fried okra and I like their cornbread. Usually get country fried steak, meatloaf, chicken n’ dumplins, fried chicken, or sugar cured ham as the main dish. The restaurant decor is fun and the staff takes care of you. Also, it's fun to browse the country store.

Quick comfort food for our family of 5. Wife had the southern fried chicken it was seasoned very well. Kids ordered from the kids menu but ate all our sides. I had the steak and the hamburger steak so I had 5 sides between the two entrees. Here’s a pro-tip. My son put the fried apples in between a split biscuit and he loved it! We had to wait 15 minutes but there is some much to look at in the country store the time flew by. Great road trip stop.

Cracker Barrel is a great spot to stop for a meal during a road trip. It's not fast food, but rather a nice sit-down restaurant serving delicious, home-cooked meals. They offer comfort foods with all the traditional fixings.

Okay the food wasn't gourmet. It was southern style cooking hi fat, high starch. But it was done well and it was satisfying. The country store attached was interesting as well as the old style foods and specialty items. I'm not a fan of perfume and walking through the door practically sent me sneezing back out. But the service was quick the waitress was pleasant and we got what we asked for. It was wheelchair accessible and the menus definitely kid friendly. What kid doesn't love Max and cheese. And there's also the chicken fingers and the traditional kid type foods.
