Reviews for Cracker Barrel Old Country Store in Cape Girardeau, MO

I've eaten here a few times usually busy so there is a waiting line best to visit early or later. Overall food not bad however... the quality varies as I was not impressed with the meals. I like their breakfast but I noticed my grits were watered down andsomewhat cold. Eggs were ok, Bacon was a tad greasy no surprise here, my biscuits were a little dry, coffee was good. Waitresswas a little slow on response but the place was busy so you have to learn to have patience. My table had crumbs on it prior toseating so they did not do a very good job cleaning it, so overall gave it a 65. My recent visit I noticed the floors were dirtysuggest someone take some time to clean them throughout the day. I ordered a BLT (not on the menu) not recommended as it wasbad. The bread had a burned taste to it? Ordered extra bacon (never happened) overall bad. The Fried apples and Ice Tea wasGreat. Had a complimentary dessert coupon was wanting a granny chocolate pie but they did not have it. The server recommendedthe Double chocolate Fudge Cola Cake w/vanilla ice cream it was so dry I could not eat it kinda sad had two bites and it made megag the icing tasted like something out of a can nothing homemade about this dessert. My recent visit was not good so I'll leaveit at that as I've had way better meals elsewhere. Best to all who visit the store section is great had a lot of interestingitems but the restaurant could use a good cleaning and maybe updating as everything was dusty and many things missing from mylast visit like the glass domes on the table lamps.

Takeout Trash... I usually LOVE Cracker Barrel. I've never been to a bad franchise. Never had bad food there. Until now. Had... take out here, the portions were children sized. Food was cold, extremely bland. Meatloaf was dry, burned on the bottom, anddidn't even resemble a slice of meatloaf. I warmed it in the container for 1 minute and it literally crumbled. On top of that,they forgot one of my sides I paid extra for, gave me 1 cutlery set for 2 meals, and the cornbread was overcooked, dry, andtasteless. Nothing in this meal tasted remotely okay. These people obviously don't care what they're putting out at all. Read more

Love this place! The atmosphere is so nice and the customer service is terrific. And the food is delicious. My son loves this... place so much he says he wants to work here when he gets bigger :) He's only 9 so he has a ways to go???? But I'd definitelyrecommend Cracker Barrel to anyone that has never tried it. Everything is always so clean and nice, including the bathrooms.After we eat we love to look around at all the beautiful things they have for sale. Read more

Staff was very friendly and i overheard staff say it was unusually busy so wait times (30+ mins) didn't bother us since both of... us have been in the food industry and understand. But bacon wasn't cooked and over 80% of our food was cold. Had to toss thewhole order in the trash because we couldn't eat it. Was passing though the state so we couldn't have came back to do aremake/refund. Spent $30-$40 combined for both orders. Read more

We have dined in 3 different times and gave them one last chance, They Need New MANAGEMENT!! last time we went they tried... seating us where they had no room for my Mother in laws wheelchair. We decided to try again going just us and the food wasawful!! Cold & Overcooked Chicken, mashed potatoes and country gravy was cold and the okra was cold plus tough because it was onthe hot pass too long. The poor server was a young lady who hadn't been trained and didn't even know the menu nor the daysspecial which was told to us when we walked in. You would expect Hot food especially when it's what they were pushing. Onelady with a special needs child and other kids left before they were served she had waited over 30 minutes. We won't be backtill they get new management and fix their store area where it's wheelchair accessible without having to move their displaytables to be able to look around. Read more

Is a excellent place to eat and enjoy. When you are done eating, you can go buy gifts or snacks or some clothing

Great restaurant, even better store. This place has a certain magic to it and has gift ideas for anyone of your list. Their... Christmas selection is particularly clutch, you can build your entire Christmas here! Read more

Food for a party of 4 took over 30 mins to come out. I could not help but notice after that, that everyone's else's food was not... taking as long. Did not receive an explanation for the delay but nonetheless this should not have happened. Food was just belowroom temperature, so I hope my food was not just sitting in the kitchen waiting for it to be brought to our table. If servicewas quicker and food was warmer, definitely could have been five stars. Read more
