Cracker Barrel - Clinton

We really enjoy it here. The service is always excellent, and it's surprisingly good for a chain restaurant.

My best advice is to stick with breakfast. Proceed at your own risk for anything beyond that...

We stopped at the cracker barrel in Clinton, NJ for dinner on the way home in PA. It was great! The waiting period was minimal and everything was organized. I am in wheelchair and usually Loathe baths because they are not disabled friendly. Barrier-free does not mean the same as friendly. He threw me away! It was more than big enough to fit my chair and maneuver easily. It had a sink, soap dispenser and paper towel dispenser in the stable!!! Excellent! Not only that the baby change station was NOT in the stable! That's so big for me. I can't tell you how often I had to wait for the only disabled stable in the bathroom. Anyway, I loved it. Our server Bennett was a 5 star, although his apron said 2 stars. He was great! I've been waiting tables for years and was a head server. I would have hired him in a heartbeat!! Just the best. The food was so good and very inexpensive. We had remains and Bennett even offered us dessert and drinks to go! We brought him to the drink. My son is stunned and I'm sure we're back when we get back. Very recommended!

This place is awesome. The gift shop was decorated for Halloween/Thanksgiving/Christmas which made it super cozy. And then the food ...out of this world amazing! Comfort food! And The portions are Great for the price. I wish I didn't live so far from here, because I'd come here at least once a week!

Have been to many Cracker Barrel locations and always had a good experience. Today was a surprising disappointment. Fried chicken…dry and over cooked. Bacon borderline raw, 90% fat. Grilled cheese burnt. Coleslaw not good. Most of the food we didn’t eat. Our waiter was excellent. Not his fault… tipped 20%. He asked numerous times if everything was all right. We only asked to replace the bacon. When nothing was good we felt there wasn’t a point asking for everything to be replaced. I know it is difficult to hire these days. Even if you have to pay over market I suggest splurging to get a good chef. We are not giving up on Cracker Barrel. This location is closest to our home. Will wait to see if reviews improve before returning. I’ll end on a high note. Very cold today. The big hearth had a beautiful fire wood not gas and the gift shop is excellent. This may sound like a strange request. It would be appreciated it if the restaurant can let us know when they are back on track.
