Reviews & Ratings for Cracker Barrel Old Country Str

A little ole' country general store serving down-home foods and goods since 1969.

by Contributor at Citysearch

In Short
Originating in Lebanon Texas, this country store and restaurant has branched out all over the U.S. The décor includes old advertising signs, farm equipment, early kitchen appliances and photos which complement the country-style seating. Their menu includes home-style comfort foods like meatloaf and house-made mashed potatoes daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Make sure to stop into the gift shop for souvenirs and a variety of knick-knacks.

Seriously?

by TWallace at Citysearch

I can not believe Cracker Barrel rates as one of Tucson's Best Breakfast places! Incredible. That's like rating MacDonald's #1! It's a nice enough place, but it's cookie-cutter -- looks like every other Cracker Barrel in the USA. Same mediocre food, unenthusiastic service and dimly lit atmosphere as the other 1500 of them...what's so special about that? This restaurant probably enjoys popularity due to its proximity to the interstate and motels, and the lack of decent restaurants nearby. Save your $$ and go to IHOP or MacDonald's down the road a bit.

• Pros: New, lots of parking
• Cons: long waits, poor service, mediocre food

countryblah hype

by FireHawk57 at Citysearch

hard to get too, food is typical southern hype, rarely meets what mom would make satndards.

then you have to wend your way past the real bussiness tourist trap goods. somewhere in the trip from georgia the pot fell off the wagon.

• Cons: poorly presented food, over or underdone, another bad truckstop

SUCKS

by puntaz at Citysearch

If you've ever been to the cracker barrel in another state, preferably the south you know how terrible this one is. i've been atleast 5 times and the food is terrible. no flavor what so ever. check out dons on oracle and roger.

The Food Sucks

by rmrhoads75 at Citysearch

The food was very salty. The service was lousy. I rank service by how many times they refill my soda or coffee without having to ask. You had to pull teeth to get a refill or even find the waitress once the food was delivered tothe table. Tip $0.01

Old Timer Infestation

by lemmex at Citysearch

It is shocking to me that the Cracker Barrel is considered the top breakfast place in Tucson. Tucson has many wonderful restaurants that dont revolve around hill billy motifs such as this one. The food is bland and nothing spectacular. Its exactly what youd expect from a chain restaurant whose main concern is to bring in truck drivers and seniors. The worst part of this establishment is the decor and environment. If you are comfortable with the tacky ranch style, hometown table clothes, and the out in the prairie wall decorations, then you probably eat here all the time. Youll probably feel right at home if you are accustomed to the nursing home odors of the large parties of seniors who waddle in here like cattle from the range. However, if you are not part of the nursing home or retirement community, this is definitely not the place for you.

• Pros: inexpensive, parking
• Cons: location, decor, food

Love Uncle Hershal

by allenc2c at Citysearch

My favorite breakfast is the Uncle Hershal!! Two Eggs, choice of meat (I LOVE the grilled catfish), hashbrown cassarole, grits and biskets and gravy!!!

Cracker Barrel has the best selection of breakfast entrees in TUCSON!!

• Pros: Great FOOD, Love the store
• Cons: noisy, smoking section, NOT enclosed

heavy on the 'F' word...fat

by bupak at Citysearch

overall this is a nice place. it just leans toward old-fashioned hearty(not 'heart' healthy) food. a meat and potatoes type of eatery.

• Pros: appearance, available seating
• Cons: slow service, indifferent staff
