Reviews for Cracker Barrel Old Country Store in Joliet, IL

Service is always great and the food fresh and hot. They do need to upgrade the chairs. The chairs are not comfortable and... really hard. I had a steak (ordered medium rare and got medium well :(...) with Loaded Mash, green beans, and hashbrowncasserole! Food was still good even with the over cooked steak! Read more

I can't believe I have heard this restaurant so many times from my friends for years and never get to try. The food is delish... and prices are extremely cheap. Their Roast Beef was super soft and the gravy on top adds more flavor to it . I heard that theirchicken and Dumpling dish is super popular but I didn't care much ,to me it was missing flavors big time. Atmosphere of thisrestaurant is cool , the little board game they put on every table is fun , I even purchased one for my kids . I woulddefinitely visit this restaurant again . Read more

Went for lunch on a weekday. Long wait bc no clean tables. Long wait before approached for drink order. Ordered biscuits, corn... bread brought with food over 40min later. I have ordered the ham here a dozen times. I got one that had been cut in half! Iasked if it was a lunch special aka smaller portion and was told it?d always been that small?ummm no?$12 for what I got. And thefries were cold. Terrible. Read more

Went here on our way back from Starved Rock. I had the Fried Chicken with okra, mashed potato and corn bread. My friend had pork... chops with mashed potato, turnip and biscuits. Everything was really nice! So much food, we had to take some home. The waiterwas really nice and friendly. The place and the restrooms were clean as well. Read more

If you need comfort food they have it. Cracker Barrel has a wonderful arrangement of menu items that everyone will enjoy. The... cost and the quality are worth it just look at the photos we posted. Excellent food and service. Will go there again. Read more

Steak were done perfect. And I'm very picky about how my steak is done. Coffee cup kept full. And we had wonderful time with my... wife. Read more

Stunning service! +2 star. Great vibe. Bland food :/ the breaded shrimp was great, but the sides, even the apple, were fairly... average and not memorable. For some reason, the food was also not that filling. The service was slowww, but oh so kind. Thewaitress was clearly stretched between way too many tables. She was friendly and paid close attention to all of our quirks. Alovely lady who is the only reason this rating is 4 stars instead of 3. Overall, the food portion was fine, the price was?reasonable, I suppose, and the food taste was a bit on the bland side. A time for us to rest in the vibe of the place. Itdelivered what most Cracker Barrel?s do, so I guess that was fine. Read more

Never went to cracker barrel before in my life. They are such a great environment to eat. I didn't shop at the country store. I... sat and ate southern fried chicken, fried okra, and fresh seasonal fruit. Read more
