The last couple of times I went, I was not impressed with the quality of the food. It seems they have gone down a lot over the years from what I remember.

I like the atmosphere and their store, but don’t know if I’ll be eating anything from there anytime soon.

Definitely not what it used to be. From time to time I used to crave their breakfast that just isn’t the case anymore.

The meatloaf is still killer. We usually stop on every roadtrip.

Sorry to hear that. Last time I ate there the food was legit but they appeared to have staffing problems. Tables were going unbussed for longer than they should.

Anytime I’m traveling I-49 with family, my kids for some reason demand we stop at the one north of Alexandria.

Yes, can’t really tell any difference in the food other than portion size appears a bit smaller.

Definitely less staff on duty, so service has suffered

Been at least two years since I went to one.

I don’t ever choose to eat at one, it’s usually if I’m meeting someone born in the ‘30s or ‘40s and they suggest it.

We travel a lot, and I can say the breakfast plates are still good. Would rather Waffle House if asked though.

Usually only on road trips. Not sure why only on road trips. There are three of them all less than an hour away. But if I’m traveling and it’s time to eat, especially breakfast, Cracker Barrel is a go-to. Their pancakes are the best.

According to a video on TikTok a few years ago they replaced some of the items on the menu with cheaper chicken in order to keep costs down

Covid killed Cracker Barrel. Used to love their country fried steak but got it a couple of years ago and it was terrible. The quality of food dropped drastically

Went a couple of weeks ago, only because I had a gift card that was given to me. Service was good, but I’ve had better frozen dinners. Maybe we chose the wrong menu items, but I don’t ever plan on going back to find out.

Used to stop there religiously. Won't go back. Food quality has dropped drastically s well as the service.
