I love me some Cracker Barrel! I haven't mastered the art of cooking a good meatloaf, so when I have the craving I look for a Cracker Barrell. I'm so glad they opened this location, because I had to drive all the way up to Concord Mills exit to get my fix before.
The service hasn't really improved since the opening week. For some reason there is always a problem getting my drink here. I think I throw the server off when I order my food and drink at the same time? Last time the server came back to ask if we wanted some bread while we waited for food, and I responded with "well, not really, but I would LOVE to have my water while I wait". LOL! He apologized and ran with some great speed to grab our water.
There does seem to be a good 30 minute wait between ordering and getting my food no matter what I order. Hopefully that will eventually speed up soon.
The parking lot always seems to be full and often there is a wait. The turn around on tables seems to be pretty speedy though, so that is good. Haven't had to wait more than 20 mins to be seated yet, even when I was told the wait would be 45 minutes.
This is actually the second CB I've seen not directly off the Interstate. We had one back in Athens, GA.. which has no interstate nearby.. good 30 minute drive to I-85. These non-interstate CB's must be popping' up due to high demand, which seems to be the case here..
I gave 4 stars.. but it's more like 3.5. I'll return often for my meatloaf cravings! yay!
