Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

There is a group of us 8-10 people. each eats there at least 3 times a week and every day. a 45 min.-1 hour is normal waiting time, and the ac has not worked all season. it doesn't make fun to eat there.

Buttery cornbread is a highlight here. Also, try the dill ranch dressing. Good old fashioned vibe and pleasant experience.

The pictures on the menu of the watermelon lemonade looked good. I figured with watermelon it would be on the sweet side. I was wrong in a big way. It came yellow in color not pink like in the picture. Really no watermelon taste just strong unsweetened lemon juice. I asked if there was any watermelon flavoring in it and the waitress said they don't use much because watermelon is so sour. Whaaat? ? I couldn't drink it and asked for just water as they were not going to try to make it right. When my bill came I was charged for the drink that only my wife and I took one sip each from and neither could hardly choke that down. My wife doesn't do sweet drinks at all and she just about grabbed our son-in-laws pop to try to get rid of the bad taste. Not the kind of service that I've come to know from this chain. Not even an attempt to make it right. The rest of the food was good but that drink ruined the whole meal.

Told meatloaf would take 30 minutes, after waiting 20. Switched to another meal, still took over 30 minutes. Floors were full of garbage. I love Cracker Barrel, but this was a very disappointing and frustrating time.

This has to be the slowest service we've ever had at cracker barrel. so far have waited 25 mins on our food.
