I have been visiting Cracker Barrel restaurants for many years. Our meal today was still their usual good home style eating. The last several times we have visited we have NOT enjoyed the "in your face" declarations that we should purchase alcoholic beverages. I think that is a new profit center, for them. We do not drink and hope that the family atmosphere we have enjoyed in the past is not threatened by this strong promotion of alcohol.
In addition to our meal we purchased two dresses and a decorative towel. Which were reasonably priced.
You pretty much know what you are going to get at Cracker Barrel. There is an old timey store filled with interesting items and treats, along with the restaurant usually featuring a country style chicken dinner.
We promised ourselves that we would go to a Cracker Barrel on our trip. This was one of the farthest north locations on our path and it was a little quieter than we expected at lunchtime. But that shouldn't have given pause. This location was great.
The staff were very helpful. The store was clean and had just what you expected for good products. The food was prepared just right and was just what we were hoping for. The manager on duty was very engaged with her staff, checking on tables, picking up high chairs, and keeping everything moving for her team.
We were very impressed with this location and would recommend it to others. If we're driving through Madison again, it's on our list of pit stops to eat and relax!

Clean area.. friendly staff...big portion for us..and price is really deal.
First experience at a Cracker Barrel and in COVID times the food and service here was exceptional. We are trying to skip eating out because it's hardly worth it lately, nothing is what it use to be. Prices are high, service and food quality is low and not worth the time. However this place is excellent! The food was the best, it was fresh, delicious, and portions were filling, and there was a nice selection.
The service was great, server admitted he was new, but I wouldn't have noticed had he not said anything. We're definitely coming back. The small store is an extra special benefit, we browsed the vintage candy brands, bottled soda, quilts, clothes, cast iron cookware, burts bees hand cut soaps, and sparkly pretty misc stuff, and the prices aren't horrible there either. All-in-all an expected great experience.
