Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

We stopped for lunch on our way from NY to Rhode Island. Both my husband and I got the southern fried chicken and loved it. The quantity was big, and together with the warm biscuits brought for starters and the side dishes we were more than full. But it was worth it. The price also is really inexpensive for such food. But the place felt a bit rundown and not so well cleaned and maintained. The table was greasy, not sure if it was cleaned between seatings and the whole place felt like it needed a good clean!

The service and the food was disappointing. The menu stated that the tater tot casserole was something for the table to share. The portion came in a small saucer and was maybe ten tots and the server forgot the dipping sauce. We ordered chicken fried steak which was tough. The sausage gravy was as thick as pudding. The mashed potato side was maybe two table spoons worth and they forgot to put gravy on. We had to ask for napkins as none was on the table. The bathroom was nasty. Ive been to a location in Rhode Island which was like night and day compared to this one. The worst part is we drove over a hundred miles from long island for this disappointing experience.

As someone who looks forward to visiting a Cracker Barrel when travelling along the Interstate, it pains me to give a poor rating. Before getting into the food, I was taken aback when I used the restroom and found it to be filthy and unusable. (Use your imagination on this one. It sickens me to think that the staff used that restroom. The table was sticky and in need of refinishing. The server and food runner were definitely off their game. They forgot a number of items and didn 't give us our biscuits until we were finished eating and leaving the table. The pancakes tasted like they were cooked at too high of a heat setting and were overdone. The sausage patty was dry, tiny and burnt. The ham was full of gristle, the bacon was rubbery and the over medium eggs were runny and cold. This eatery needs a visit from Restaurant Impossible.

Service and food was great.. Nice atmosphere.. U can buy merchandise as well as have a positive dining experience..
