| - After months of waiting it out, we finally came to Cracker Barrel. I gotta say I was hoping to like this place.
Got there at 1230 this afternoon, wait time was 5-10mins but was pleasantly surprised when we got paged not even 3minutes later. Thought to myself...great start! We were led to our window side table . 10minutes passed , no one came to get our order. The couple that came after us got their drinks served way before we finally got someone's attention. 20mins later, we got our orders taken. 3 of us ordered fried fish(1 cod and 2 catfish) and kid's grilled cheese. For our sides, we ordered Mac n cheese, fries, turnip greens, apple slices and corn muffins. Drinks are iced sweet tea, lemonade and milk for the kids.
An hour after we got seated, the fried cod was served. Yup, just one of us got her food. 20minutes later, we got the rest of our order, minus the corn muffins but we were given fried apples that we didn't order. My friend got fed up and asked for a manager who came and apologized and promised to make things right. He brought the corn muffins and 2 extra biscuits for the bother. Really?
As for the food., the fried catfish was really good but the serving was way too small compared to the fried cod. The mac n cheese and fries were good as well. The breading on the fried cod was very salty and the turnip greens were inedible. The corn muffins were no better. They were dry and grainy. The lemonade and sweet tea were refreshingly good though.
I find it odd that they had so many people standing around yet very few servers. This place is VERY chaotic, with servers running around like headless chickens.
It's a very disappointing 2 hours experience. Sadly, we won't be coming back unless they get their act together.
