We ate here because it was next door to the hotel. Nothing to rave about but it was fine. Just typical chain restaurant food.

When traveling to St. Louis we always stop for breakfast at this location. It has easy access to and from I-55 from either direction. On return trips we stop for dinner. The chain has locations in many areas so they are easy to find. Highly recommend this location. Helpful and friendly staff always makes our stops enjoyable.

Traditionally for me, sometimes the food is not always the best but always enjoy the store (mainly candy) aspect of Cracker Barrel. But for the first time I ordered my favorite thing....a Reuben. This was undoubtedly the best Reuben I've ever had. Wait staff also was very friendly and helpful.

My wife and daughter and I generally stop here on the way to or from my parents' house in Chicago. It has always been a reliable, clean, friendly place to stop with good food and nice service. We have always tried to time it so we stop at an off time, as Cracker Barrel restaurants generally get busy during regular... More

Chicken and Dumplings are very good. Prices are reasonable, and not much of a wait. Steaks could use some improvement. Kids menu is cheap and good quality

I always like Cracker Barrels. I visited twice during a three day stay. The first time the fish was way undercooked but I went back again and asked that the fish be well done, which it was. However, nothing was said about the fish being undercooked the first time. Service was excellent. If you want to walk around the store... More

The food was very good and offered a good variety, but the service was very slow. The restaurant had more than enough service people there to accommodate the crowd but the kitchen staff must have been overwhelmed since it took almost 40 minutes for out food to arrive after we placed our order.

This is nice and clean. The service is good. The food is comfort style food and good. I did not care for my broccoli casserole...not sure if it was because it had sat under a heat light or if that is how it would have tasted fresh out of the oven. I don't recommend that as a side.

We had a party of 7, broke in to 4 tickets. The server was professional, although I felt like he was a little fake and hurried. All the orders were quick and correct. Between 2 servers the coffee & tea cups stayed filled, and the extras we asked for (ketchup, sauces, water after the order, etc) came quickly. The only... More
