Decided to check out this Cracker Barrel because we were on this side of town after an event. I have had good experiences at their Craig location so I was excited because we were hungry! There wasn't a wait which was good because I was anticipating one it being a Saturday evening and all. No appetizers this time but we ordered the Signature Burger ($8.99), the Country Fried Steak ($12.4)9, the Meatloaf (10.99), and the Country Fried Shrimp for me ($11.49).
While we waited for our food our very nice waitress brought us out some biscuits and corn bread muffins. The corn bread was delicious but we had to bring it to the managers attention (he happened to be walking by and asked us), that the biscuits were very underdone. So much so that the center was gooey. He replaced them with new ones and they were fine.
My friend, as a one of his sides, ordered a side salad so that came out first. More than a couple pieces of the lettuce were dark and beginning to rot. Then we received our dinners to which I grabbed the dish the butter had come in for the biscuits and muffins to scoop out my side of macaroni and cheese to give to my boyfriend- hey, I'm nice. I then went to eat some of my mashed potatoes and I found a black hair. It was right under the mashed potatoes on the side so it could have been from the macaroni or the potatoes. We brought it the managers attention and he replaced my meal and took the meal off the bill. Which was nice because I wasn't asking for that. But at this point I lost my appetite and had to take the food to go. Which was so unfortunate because it's seafood so it never tastes the same as it does fresh.
I asked everyone else how their meals were and I got the following feedback
-The burger was fine, it was just generic and the fries were bland.
-The country fried steak was good and it had a nice crunch.
-The meatloaf was bland and not very good.
Overall, our waitress and the manager were great. The kitchen I would say at this location is seriously lacking. Rotting lettuce, hair in the food and bland meals isn't going to have me return to this location. I'll stick to the one on my side of town.
