Reviews for Cracker Barrel Old Country Store in Allen, TX

The server told us up front service would be bad. He had a lot of tables and was busy. Stated they were out of several items.... The appetizer came out with dinner. No bread. Had to ask. Probably worst service I've had in a CB. The 2 managers just stood onand off at the fireplace. Never once helps their staff. No wonder why the staff has such a negative outlook. The gift shop didhave cute items.. no one in there either to help though.. ugh! Read more

Good location. The server was very attentive. Good food as always

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 byour 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 asyou'll easily spend that time in the much larger than expected Cracker Barrel gift shop; more on that later. We were seatedpromptly and our server almost immediately stopped by and took our drinks order. I almost instantly got munching on tastycornbread while sipping on my delicious strawberry lemonade. Our order was then swiftly taken and before I had finished my firstcornbread, there it was, our food. I was mighty surprised at not only the politeness and the sense of humor of the staff at thispoint, but also at the speed of service given the restaurant was at full capacity. Me and hubby both ordered chicken friedchicken with a side of corn, hashbrown casserole and dumplins. I was impressed by the generosity of the portion size includingthe gravy that came with the entree. The chicken was perfectly breaded with the right meat to breading ratio, crispy on theoutside and juicy and flavorful on the inside. The corn wasn't bad, and the dumplins kept me going back for more. But thehashbrown was absolutely delicious with cheesy crispy potatoey goodness. I gobbled down the whole plate and my glass oflemonade magically got refilled before I ran out. A solid dining experience and all that for just 30 bucks for two, and I'llcertainly be back for more. The gift shop was a fun bonus. They have a great selection of apparel, seasonal decorations (Falland Christmas), old school chocolates, sodas and snacks. While we only got a few sodas and chocolates, we are definitely goingto buy some apparel next time we are here as they are not only fairly priced but have that boutique shop quality. Read more

The food was excellent and very good wait staff. I recommend the country fried pork chops.

Had the worst day experience in my life here today the meat loaf came out with other meats mixed in with it I asked for another... piece and it came out half cooked. I ordered beans with my meal and it had greens mixed in with them(NOT AT MY REQUEST). I drove45min to this location and will never be doing it again Read more

The one and only time I've visited without a crowd lol, great location. I absolutely enjoy the homestyle cooked meals sitting... near the fireplace. Saturday's chicken fried pork chops are my favorite. I had the best waiter, Arden, he was fantastic!!!! Read more
