| - OKAY, So I wish I could write two separate reviews on this place, but I'll just include both experiences here.
The very first time I went Cracker Barrel - amazing experience. The food was good, great portions, cheap prices, and the FOOD itself was satisfying. And to top in all off, we had GREAT service. Our server was extra attentive to our party of 4 (whom are very needy and specific about what they want). The server was very patient and fulfilled our needs. So, after this experience, we were sure that it was worth coming back to. First time visit: 4 stars
After that, I went two more times. The second time, it was not too special, I ordered the chicken tenders. The food did not "taste bad", it was just bland. The third time I went, I felt that the food got worse. It was bland, the mashed potatoes had no seasoning, the mac and cheese were too mushy, but the chicken was good. I even ordered the same entree I did on my first experience because I like it so much, but obviously, there seems to be some consistency issues. This experience, I would give it a 1 star, so that's why I just averaged the score to three stars.
For both times, I did NOT like to cornbread. It's dry, crumbly, and had no flavor; the biscuits are better, but taste store-bought anyway.
However, both times, I really like the coleslaw, so that's a plus, because I am very picky with coleslaw. This is my favorite place so far when it comes to coleslaw.
As for the service, can't say anything bad about it, they do an exceptional job.
I particularly like the little store on the side, too. It carries a lot of candy and pop that bring back memories of my childhood, with very cheap prices as well.
From this review, I would hope to either improve the food, or better, yet, add some consistency, because I may come back another time, and it be fantastic again, but not sure when that day will be? Does it just depend on the cook? Perhaps. But I don't want to visit on a gamble that it MIGHT be good this time around.
