Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

It was around 10 a.m. when we arrived and only breakfast was being served; which we do like their breakfasts. Just had my mouth wanting something different. The waitstaff was great. The bathroom was clean and well stocked.

Variety of food options is a plus. I would give more stars but my food was luke warm. We received biscuits with our meal but no small plates to eat them on. I was served a drink refill that I didn't ask for, appreciate it but didn't ask for so it was wasted. The staff was friendly. We were able to sit quickly because of online check-in, which is a plus.

Our server Mitchell provided great service. He was attentive and friendly. I would've given 5 stars but I didn't enjoy the green beans. This visit was much better compared to a visit earlier in the year. I now look forward to returning.

Service, food, and ambiance was good tonight. I enjoyed the crispy chicken tenders I ordered with a side a sweet and smokey sauce on the side. Loaded mashed potatoes earn 4 stars instead of 5 because the bacon was more fatty than chewable.

We met of state family at the Allen, Texas location. It was great right from the start as we were greeted and seated quickly even though it was a school holiday! Our server was wonderful! He was there when you needed, very helpful and courteous. Food was hot, fresh and delicious! We always enjoy the country store and found a couple of cute things for our family to take home. ❤

It’s a beautiful restaurant and shopping store.
Beautifully decorated for Christmas and holidays season.
I visited with my family, Our server was very knowledgeable and courteous.
Pancake and breakfast was very delicious and specially hot and fresh cinnamon roll. Our server make sure we have our coffee cup full and if we need anything else.
They also serve fresh and breakfast all day👍🏽
I was very impressed with food and service.
Planning to go back there soon.
I Will highly recommend for great place to take your family for any occasion.👍🏽👍🏽

Our family dined at Cracker Barrel in Allen yesterday after church, and we thoroughly enjoyed everything. Our server, Meghan R., was absolutely fantastic!! Very friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, accommodating, and made our lunch a great experience. The food was yummy, hot, and came out fast, which we appreciate with 3 young children. We'll definitely be back! Thanks, Meghan!! ❤

Went for my brother's birthday we had a great time, our waitress was amazing. Sorry I do not know her name. Oh and the food was great as well.

We used the app to order for pickup. We arrived at the designated time. However, they were out of our selection. So we had another 15 minute wait for the expedited replacement. Would have been great if the app would have known or communicated that issue.

This was me and my hubby's first sit down experience at Cracker Barrel. I checked in online and was notified of a 30m wait at around 1p on a Sunday, so the Allen location runs pretty packed. When we reached the restaurant, we were checked in promptly by our host who notified us of 5m remaining on our wait time. While I recommend that you check in online, it's OK if you don't as you'll easily spend that time in the much larger than expected Cracker Barrel gift shop; more on that later.

We were seated promptly and our server almost immediately stopped by and took our drinks order. I almost instantly got munching on tasty cornbread while sipping on my delicious strawberry lemonade. Our order was then swiftly taken and before I had finished my first cornbread, there it was, our food. I was mighty surprised at not only the politeness and the sense of humor of the staff at this point, but also at the speed of service given the restaurant was at full capacity.

Me and hubby both ordered chicken fried chicken with a side of corn, hashbrown casserole and dumplins. I was impressed by the generosity of the portion size including the gravy that came with the entree. The chicken was perfectly breaded with the right meat to breading ratio, crispy on the outside and juicy and flavorful on the inside. The corn wasn't bad, and the dumplins kept me going back for more. But the hashbrown was absolutely delicious with cheesy crispy potatoey goodness.

I gobbled down the whole plate and my glass of lemonade magically got refilled before I ran out. A solid dining experience and all that for just 30 bucks for two, and I'll certainly be back for more.

The gift shop was a fun bonus. They have a great selection of apparel, seasonal decorations (Fall and Christmas), old school chocolates, sodas and snacks. While we only got a few sodas and chocolates, we are definitely going to buy some apparel next time we are here as they are not only fairly priced but have that boutique shop quality.

Arrived during very crowded Saturday lunch. They promised a 15 minute wait and seated at 15 minutes. Server was very attentive, despite being VERY busy. Food was fresh and tasted delicious. We've dined at several Cracker Barrel stores in the Dallas metro area. This one is best by far.

One of my favorite spots! The food is good and consistent! Abbie is my favorite waitress, Ms. Bobbie is so sweet in the Old Country Store! I love this place, feels like home. Very diverse crowd and well ran operations!

We went to this restaurant to celebrate pre-thanksgiving. It was a weekend, so the entire restaurant was packed. We had to wait for about 30 mins before we could get in. They have nice rocking chairs on the patio for people waiting.
The food was great! As usual! I ordered fish fillet with sides of coleslaw and fried apples. It was my first time experiencing fried apples. I loved it. The fish was perfectly grilled and seasoned. I loved it. The apples were so juicy and soft that they melted in my mouth. My husband ordered country fried steak. He loves his meal too.

We went out for dinner late on a Sunday evening. Our wait time was 15 minutes so we used that time to pick up our grocery order from ALDI.
We got the text that our table was ready just as we were pulling up to the restaurant.
We were taken right to our table (much to my chagrin allowing no time to shop).

I knew what I wanted from looking at the online menu. The kids made their mind up quick. Our drinks were ordered and brought right out. They made my daughter a cherry Dr Pepper that was incredibly tasty!!!
Biscuits & muffins were brought out with our butter & honey request and soon after came our meals.
The Sunday chicken dinner was exactly what I had been hoping for. Boneless chicken breast perfectly seasoned and fried to the beautiful crispy golden for that homemade flavor to satisfy !!! My son enjoyed every bite of the beef roast and his loaded baked potato too. Miss Picky who didn’t go outside her wheelhouse got her usual chicken fingers & fries and was happy with those as well.
Our server was great-friendly & engaging. The restaurant was clean & inviting as expected and socially distanced due to the times.
And I never got to shop because my adult children know how I can dawdle and whisked me directly to the cash register and out the door.

The food was delicious, the server was very kind. It brought so many good family memories!. The family ambiance is just 😍 amazing.

Wonderful place for breakfast or lunch. Kids love the Mac and cheese. I loved the green beans and sweet carrots. Enjoyed the games and the store and of course rocking on the porch. A bit crowded but there is an online wait list.

The hostess was excellent; sitting us quickly. The waitress took our drink and meal order within 3 minutes of us sitting. The food was outstanding. Pancakes fluffy, sausage cooked to perfection and eggs scrambled well so they were soft or running. This location was clean organized and well managed. Bathrooms also clean and well-stocked. I most certainly recommend this location.

Great dinner with the Family! We were craving dumplings so we headed here for dinner and we’re not disappointed, as usual! There was an added surprise, they now have alcohol!

The food is always good no matter what we get. And the waitresses are really nice and in top of things.

Such a cute store. I have never ate at this location. But have ordered take out. Easy to park location. Right off the 75. Customer service is great.

Our waitress. Reagan was SO fast and the most friendly wait-person I have encountered in a while. Food was great. Love the store!

We had our Christmas lunch delivered from Cracker Barrel. The delivery was right on time and the food was delicious! Everyone enjoyed the meal - we will definitely order our holiday meals from this Cracker Barrel again!
