Well when we arrived we got sat in an empty restaurant between two families that were rather noisy. When we ordered food we were informed that they didnt meatloaf so they subbed it for more ham instead. Then out comes the worst food Ive ever eaten at a restaurant. I had the wednesday special, broccoli cheese chicken and the gf had the sampler. Mine tasted of velveta and the broccoli wasnt green most of the time which was rather disheartening. The fries were not salted, which was really perplexing given a restaurant like this; if anything I expected them to be WAY too salty but there was absolutely none. The biscuit I had was very doughy and the cornbread tasted so dry that it sat around in your mouth minutes after eating even just a small bite. It was by FAR the worst cornbread Ive ever had and I wasnt even going to compare it at first, just to taste it but I had to see if I ever had worse. My gf got ham and chicken dumplings but they put them both on the same plate so the sauce from the dumplings carried over to the ham. The dumplings were fine, nothing spectacular and I would never recommend them but the ham was TRULY something special. It tasted like it was brined in a brown sugar chemical and this is apparently where all the salt that was lacking from the rest of the food went. It was so perplexing to have that odd taste in your mouth, you really couldnt analyze what it was just that it tasted bad. Overall it was the worst food Ive ever eaten at a restaurant and Im not exaggerating here.

Mike Huckabee Cracker Barrel has decided it wanted to be the first big corporate sponsor to distance itself from Phil Robertson and in doing so, it has decided it doesnt want "his kind," in their stores. Well, Im "his kind," so they want me seeing me at their tables in the future. While pretending to be a place where "country people" can get old fashioned "country cooking," they must not understand that folks like Phil has more followers than GLAAD. They have made their choice. Cracker Barrel didnt mind making money off the Duck Dynasty products, but who did they think was wearing those t-shirts? Ive written to Cracker Barrel, not that it will matter to them. I have far more respect for companies for companies that openly support liberal causes and dont give a pretense of being what they arent. I will do business with them because they are honest about who they are. I can live with that. I have no respect for a company that bows to the slightest pressure from the politically correct. I ask Cracker Barrel to clarify exactly what Phil stands for that they wish to be disassociated with? If its his Christian beliefs that make them uncomfortable, then we all need to know. It would be helpful for Christians everywhere to know so we can make their stores more "comfortable" for the people they think are their constituents. Its obvious they dont want "my kind" in their stores. Ill sure accommodate them!

What could have been a pleasant experience was ruined, first by seating a couple of whiny children just inches by my side when there were at least 10 tables vacant. very inconsiderate for seniors with a disabled person. Normally I would have just picked up and moved but had already seated disabled friend and folded her walker. Are they blind or just totally unaware of whats going on around them? Second: they have taken beef stew off the menu (a favorite), and I settled on a special of roast beef and mushroom turnover or pot pie sort of thing. Do not ever order that. It is a mushy mess of mashed roast beef, gag, with no mushrooms in sight. Yes, I should have had it taken off the bill since it was inedible, but didnt. Third, as if having to endure the small fussing children wasnt enough, along came about 7 waitresses yelling a birthday ditty to adjacent table. It will be a very long time before I enter another CB since there are better places all around. Esther Coffield

Went with my girlfriend on a Thursday morning around 11am for lunch. It wasnt packed to capacity but wasnt empty either. They seated us at a table for 4 in the middle of the room. Then put two families around us that both had loud yelling babies. Sure the babies arent their fault, but the seating plan is, and that was ridiculous. The food was "alright", it felt like everything was taken off the stove like 2 minutes too soon and seemed slightly under-cooked. The waitress barely stopped by our table and took forever to do anything, despite the location not being that busy. It took a while before we even got our orders placed. Then once our food shows up she immediately gives us the check which seemed kind of rude. But I guess it worked out because it allowed us to get out of that mess sooner. We probably wont be coming back to this location again anytime soon.

By far some of the worst, if not the worst restaurant food I have ever eaten. I honestly do not understand the high reviews that this place has received. The food was very bland. So much so that we realized my boyfriends french fries werent salted and neither were my mashed potatoes. The broccoli cheddar chicken tasted heavily store brand velveta microwaved on top of bland chicken with mushy broccoli. The ham tasted like they crammed all of the salt they werent using in the other dishes into it and the collard greens tasted like they had been boiling for two days. Nothing on our plates were good and with how many quality restaurants in Sanford I do not understand how this location is still open. Do yourselves a favor and go anywhere else.

This was by far the worst service Ive ever had. If I could give them a negative star rating it would be -5 star rating. The drinks were flat. The food was half cooked and it was cold. The server just threw our food on the table. Reached over everybody food. She didnt check on us to see if we was satisfied. The food was just half cooked. If I knew the server name I would post her name. I will never EVER come here again!!!

This is your typical Cracker Barrel with the country store and the usual restaurant with southern comfort food. My husband always gets the chicken and dumplings with turnip greens and fried okra. I like more variety. Some of my favorites include catfish, turkey with dressing (on Thursdays) and chopped steak. They also serve breakfast for dinner.

Every time I place an order to go and specifically ask for my cobbler to be warmed up, it isnt and today had only peaches in it, which means you cant really call it a cobbler. My dumplings had more liquid than dumplings. Like many restaurants, the portions dont match what you pay for. Im about done with this specific Cracker Barrel.

Had really gone down hill. The bacon used to wonderful but the quality has seriously dropped. Not rock bottom yet but it will be if the trend continues. The biscuit and gravy are bland and tasteless. You might as well be pouring glue on Styrofoam. What happened? Probably some CFO or regional manager looking for cost cutting.

The worst service I have ever had here we had 9 different people at our table and our food came out at different times. Most didnt even come. Meals were cold and burnt . all they told us was we have to wait for it to be done again. By the time that it was out we were already done !!! THE SERVICE HERE SUCKS !
