Reviews for Cracker Barrel Old Country Store in South Portland, ME

Our server was new when we visited the other day, which I understand. It's hard for everyone to hire staff, I get it. It's just... frustrating when you have to ask 4 and 5 times for the same thing. They weren't super busy, but I'm sure she was stilloverwhelmed. We still tipped really well, cause we aren't jerks. I always love going here, no matter how the service is. Theatmosphere is just so fun! Read more

The food is good and the people are very nice. The store is always fun and automatically earns them a star. They are NOT gluten... friendly, surprisingly having no options for gluten-free substitutions. They recently got impossible sausage and have mimosas!!! Read more

This is the only Cracker Barrel in the State. It's wonderfully old fashioned. From the hearty meals to the lovely waiters which... tell jokes and other quirky stories. We paid around 45$ for 2 adults with 2 10year olds. Very good food and too much to look at.It's like 50ties Disneyland without waiting in lines. If you are here it's a must to go. Have fun!!

The Cracker Barrel Old Country is a wonderful restaurant that offers guests superbly tasty decent sized meals at very reasonable... prices!!! In May of 2022, I brought and treated myself and my wife for dinner at the Cracker Barrel, specifically the branchlocated in South Portland, Maine. The staff at Cracker Barrel warmly welcomed us in upon our entry, and our server, Terry H.treated us with great kindness and did a great job on taking our orders and explaining the menu options. Both my wife and Ihighly enjoyed our meals, which included a steak based entree for my wife and maple bacon chicken meal for myself. We found ourmeal to be well cooked, perfectly seasoned and definitely delicious!!! When visiting Portland Maine, my wife and I definitelyrecommend that you visit and dine at the Cracker Barrel restaurant!!! Read more

The food good. The wait staff was another matter. We had a waiter and he wasn't pleasant at all. Almost like we were a burden to... him. He only came by once to see how every was. He seemed very short with us. If he was having a bad day or night for thatmatter he shouldn't take it to work with him. And the hostess was less than be desired. It was just a unpleasant dinner there.I'm sorry to say but we won't be back to this one restaurant in Portland. Love the store part if it and the historical thingsthat they have in the restaurant.

I love this restaurant. The gift shop was full of merchandise to look thru. They had sweets and kids toys as well. Our waitress... Amelia was a sweetheart. The food was delicious and filling. They have the best fried okra in Maine. Read more
