Visited Madison for Christmas coming from California. We don't have a Cracker Barrel but been wanting to try it.
Ambience/Interior: So cute and quaint inside. Like your entering grandmal's house. For new people, you didn't enter the wrong door, you have to walk through the store and look for the hostess booth. The restaurant is pretty large considering how small I feel Madison is.
Service: We had an elderly lady seat us. She was a bit slow but so cute and sweet. Our waitress was a sweet lady who knew her menu well. She checked on us often.
Food: I ordered the pot roast special which comes with mashed potatoes. Added a side of broccoli and Mac & cheese. Sides were small, but all had plenty of flavor. Daughter ordered the chicken biscuits with double side of hash brown casserole. She didn't like the cranberry sauce it came with it. But I think it made it taste better since the chicken didn't have much flavor. Hash brown casserole had plenty of onions which she loved. Husband ordered the country fried steak with mashed potatoes and a side salad. He loved it all. Especially the gravy. Most meals come with biscuits or corn muffins. They were ok. Not great.
Parking/area: Plenty of parking. I feel like everywhere in Madison has adequate parking compared to California. Lol.
No complaints. Tasted liked home cooking when we wanted it most while away from home. We plan on coming back and trying other things.
