An average restaurant. The food a bit bland.
**I edited my review after the last review reminded me about the complimentary cornbread! I totally forgot that! They are supposed to serve it to you before a meal, and I remember thinking that when I was there but thought maybe I was thinking wrong. SERVE THE CORNBREAD.
Cracker Barrel Restaurant is a good dinner for anyone who eats out at least a few times per month and is not a food snob. Â Why? Â They make a lot of the food right after you order it, so it takes a little while to get to you. Â It's country cooking, tastes like it, and gets served like it (big portions; don't plan to stick with any "diet"). Â Only item on the menu that I will pass on every time is the corn muffins - nothing stands out about them. Â Menu aspects that keep me coming back - great deals such as several entree choices with two sides and biscuits for under $8 before tax and tip; sweet tea with real juices added for fun flavors; desserts with some character; you can eat like you're in the south without having to travel there. Â As a "mixed race couple" or however you might call it, we felt no discrimination or noticeable poor attitudes towards us. Â Staff were of a few different races too. Â Last two sentences are in response to one review seeming to imply that the restaurant is backwards.
Room for improvement:  our waitress was average at best and I was  calculating 15% as exactly as I could for my tip to send that message.  Bussing of the tables is poor - crumbs, and some times chunks of things, on the table tops and around the bases.  If you don't mind clearing a little bit on your own, you can still enjoy yourself.  If you didn't know it, the tables have kerosene lamps on them at night.  They produce nice light and noticeable but gentle heat within a few inches of the glass around the flame.
I have had lunch and dinner at Cracker Barrel but never had breakfast there so I was kind of excited for some good breakfast! I must say, I got alot of food for $8. I wouldn't say that it was the best I have ever had and that I would crave it because I could live without it but it was good. The staff was very nice and made sure we had drink refills and such.
Review Source:My friend and I needed some good comfort food after visiting a scary psychic in Elkhart. This place delivers. I had the meatloaf and it was a nice thick slab.. very nice and pretty good. I don't care if it's a chain! SNOB!! Oh yeah when you first walk in, you go through their little gift shop with cool candy. I've only been to one Cracker Barrel meaning this one so I don't know if it's the same layout with all locations but I thought it was cute in a down homey kinda way. One of the better chains I've eaten compared to the other dankity ass places around these parts. I think I may have eaten at all chains that exist good ole Indiana and I'm sick of eating at Chili's and TGI Fridays and fast food!! No wonder all of you are obese... shit. Also to the other reviewer talking about the KKK, My friend is mexican and I'm vietnamese- we were treated fine and did not feel uncomfortable in this restaurant nor the town of Elkhart. Have a great day!!
Review Source:This is an ideal place to go for brunch after your Klan rally, gay-bashing, or anti-abortion protest with the local Fred Phelps supporters. Â It's also a very popular alternative if you are a veteran of the War of Northern Aggression. Â Spend your money at a chain, where it will all leave the area and make no local economic impact, and then loudly blame the total shithole recession in Elkhart on racial minorities. Â Oh don't worry, your hard-earned money is going toward illegal campaign contributions to Tom Delay. Â (Look it up.)
I don't care how good or bad their food is - I simply can't wrap my head around this old country hillbilly thing that's so popular at places like this. Â Slapping some raw wooden planks on the walls and selling some "handmade" trinkets in a store (handmade in China, probably) doesn't make me run to the car and hit the highway. Â Maybe that's why I had to leave Elkhart when I graduated. Â Maybe everyone who reads this will think I'm a left-wing, blue-state, liberal elitist fuck, but I'd rather spend my entire 401K at Wal-Mart than give this place a dollar of my cash.
