First time to a Cracker Barrel, so I'm not sure what the norm would be. The service was friendly. We enjoyed that they offer a sling for car seats; that made it more comfortable to watch our little one. The food was about what I expected. It wasn't the most phenomenal, but it wasn't bad either. Just some nice, simple, comfort food.
I'm only docking stars because I thought the dumplings would have been a little bit better, but they seem very mass produced. Mine also had a fairly large clump of "dumplings" stuck together. Also the cornbread was not sweet like you expect cornbread to be. It was almost like the mix was off.
Other than that everything else was great. I suggest the biscuits over the cornbread though. They taste like they are made with a stick of butter each. Paula Deen would be proud.
