Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - American restaurant in Lexington - 2220 Elkhorn Rd, USA

Asked for biscuits, got cornbread (burnt). Upcharged for a loaded baked potato that I did not order or even receive. The steak was good, the shrimp was hard and stale, no cutlery was given or salt, we were told everything was in there. When we got to the motel we discovered we didn't have nothing to even eat it with. Luckily my husband rounded us up some.

Haven't been to a Cracker Barrel in a while, thought I'd give it a try. I had a Pot Pie and then add-on Fried Shrimp. The shrimp were small and mostly breading, but had good flavor and were ok for the price. The pot pie was meh. Not much flavor, maybe they have to cater to an older crowd that want stuff bland. The included biscuits were pretty dry, even smothered with butter. They do have a good deal where you can order a to-go meal for $5, such as Meatloaf and Mac and Cheese.

We stopped at this Cracker Barrel on our way from Ontario, Canada to Atlanta, Georgia. We'd been on the road for about 9-10 hours. This location was right beside our hotel, the Hampton Inn (which was also good). I had the Fried Chicken Dinner and it was just as expected. The chicken batter was great, the chicken was good, and the vegetables were overcooked and mushy (as expected). My husband had the meatloaf and thought it was ok but could have used some gravy. The service was good and since it was later in the evening, the place was practically empty which was good for our first post-pandemic trip. It was exactly what we needed. Not fine dining but filling and plentiful. We also bought some mugs and 4 sticks of hard candy. The candy was supposed to be 4/$1 but they charged us 35 cents for each stick, bringing it to $1.40 for four. I asked and they said it was state taxes, which seems a little high. I think they got it wrong but that speaks to the poor quality of education these days.

We had a terrific wait person and tasty food with generous portions tonight. Very enjoyable evening!

It is style over substance. Pricing is good People are nice but forgot item on the order and slow ( only 2 customers in the restaurant). Hash brown is soggy. Biscuit is too doughy. The shop and restaurant look very good !

Saturday, Dec 9, 2023, just before noon. Sheila provided great, fast service with a smile. It was extremely busy. The kitchen was slow about getting hushpuppies out. Husband had finished his Catfish before they arrived. The manager greeted us when we entered the dining area and kept his eyes on the tables. FYI you are now charged 50 cents for what used to be complimentary apple butter. No complaints about my "Mama's pancake breakfast". 😋

The Cracker Barrel Old Country Store located in Lexington, Kentucky is a good restaurant and store. Our food was good. Our waitress new every option of the menu. The parking lot had plenty of space. We recommend this restaurant.

The employees are warm and friendly. Servers are very attentive. I love shopping in their store. Especially at Christmas! We had breakfast. I wish I could give the food 5 stars. My French toast bread was chewy. My sausage was very dry. However, I usually don't eat eggs very often, but I had 2 eggs over easy, and they were delicious. The coffee was very good
