i had a good time, but service was terrible, waitresses disappear, had a hard time getting to go box, steak was overdone on hubby plate.

Cracker Barrel restaurants only started here in California about five years ago, and I have never eaten in one of them as they are too far away.

I imagine that food and service can vary from one restaurant to another.

Since I don't live in Georgia, I'll just go to the one near me which so far has had great service and food.

I've never been to one. There aren't any around me that I've ever seen. Google is trying to tell me something different but is not really being very specific.

i hope you get it fix, oldbroad.

family, if your area is anything like mine, restaurants and stores are suffering from a severe worker shortage and sadly, employees that only show up when they feel like. I know of restaurants that are closing without notice because some days no one shows up at all. Patience is often needed to the servers that likely are dealing with more tables than used to. It may just be that they just are employees who could care less about customer service, but unless they were rude to me, I'd give them a good tip anyways. You never know what they are dealing with.

that is true, we gave $6 dollar tip.

We always tip 20%. These wait staff are sometimes only making about $3 an hour and rely on tips. I hate the system and would much rather they just get paid a fair wage. But it's what we've got, so we are always generous. During the lockdown, I picked up a $27 order for a couple of steak sandwiches and left a $20 tip because I knew the wait staff was really struggling. The owner is a friend and called to ask if I really meant to do that! Dave did the same thing and the little gal that usually waited on us when they are open jumped up and down with joy, saying ,"Look what I got!"

drac that is wonderful, but with the grocery stores prices going up as other places, i have to budge my money, i not trying to be scrooge, but everything going up.

It sure is going up everywhere. I have to budget too. But if I can't tip fairly, I probably wouldn't eat out.

I have to agree with Drac and if I can't afford a proper tip, I would not eat out or I'd order something less expensive. Servers rely on tips to live. They are not paid like others.

thank you guys very much.

I love Cracker Barrel! The biscuits are to die for! The fish fry special is hand battered to order and deliciously light and crunchy. I like to shop in their gift area because they find some very interesting items to sell. They also have a lot of the old-time candy for sale.

And their cheesy potatoes are also to die for! We don't go often because the nearest restaurant is about 20 miles away, but the food is always so good. They are very clever about arranging all the goodies out front to make you think you really need to buy this or that!

went to kennesaw one, it was better. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaur...ews-Cracker_Barrel-Kennesaw_Georgia.html
