I wanted to compliment the Athens Cracker Barrel on their guest service. My family, and I, have been to several Cracker Barrel’s in the north Georgia area but none seem to come close to the experience we have at Athens. The team seems to be happier in recent months and the atmosphere just seems down home. We are thankful for our server Jaime today, and Lyndsey the other day. There is always a smile on their faces and a politeness in their voice. We have restaurant managers in our family, so it’s nice to see managers out visiting tables, and genuinely caring about what the guests have to say, fixing the issues, and having great conversation. In the midst of all that has gone on with Cracker Barrel recently, they have not allowed it to affect their stride, nor will we allow it to affect our frequency there.

Looking forward to having breakfast for dinner and this hit the spot. Pancakes were amazing as usual and the pecan maple french toast was very sweet but good. Asked for extra crispy bacon and got bacon with minimal crisp. Dining room looks like it could use a really good cleaning but service was great and the food was hot, fresh and was just what we were looking for! Thanks CB team!!

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional dining experience my family and I enjoyed last night at Cracker Barrel. The service we received was truly outstanding. O'Neill, the manager, and Ivan, our waiter, were both incredibly attentive and ensured that every aspect of our meal was perfect. Their professionalism and friendly demeanor created a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere. I highly recommend Cracker Barrel to anyone seeking a family-friendly restaurant with superior service and a pleasant ambiance. We will certainly be returning in the future. Sincerely, Desmon Smith

I recently visited the Athens Cracker Barrel & had Cindie as a server. I love coming in & having her as my server she’s taken care of me & my son multiple times & it’s always been a pleasant experience. Shes very friendly & knows I love the flavored lemonades so she always asks if I want to try the new flavor. If I come to Cracker Barrel I always ask if she serving & if she has space in her section or able to take me & my sons order. I’ll continue to come & ask for her as long as she’s there. Also love the food , the cooks do a great job back there 👏🏽👏🏽

Pretty good! Very traditional southern cuisine. I used to go here a kid, and the place was just as how I remembered it. I got the chicken pot pie, and it was pretty good. I would liked the crust to be a little more crispy, though. My friend got the southern friend chicken, with fried apples, and ocra. The chicken was "excellent", though it was pretty salty. The fried apples were like the inside of an apple pie. They weren't peeled for some reason. The fried ocra was good, definitely something I'd recommend if you know you like it. They gave us free biscuits that were good, pretty average. When I looked at the kids menu, I'm sure it could feed an adult. Over all, pretty good!

Went here on my lunch break around 12pm a few weeks ago and I was amazed by the new lunch deal of a NY strip and two sides for 15.99, I didn't get to change the sides but they were amazing anyway. It came with two corn on the cobs and two red potatoes that were super soft! I waited no more than a few minutes to be seated and served, and food came out hot and steaming. I was told there was new management in the store now and I could totally see a difference from six months ago. I am excited to go back!

Worst Cracker Barrel ever! I came inside to place a Togo order which took forever! When I finally got my order the eggs were raw! As in the membrane was still clear! They said there was nothing they could do but remake the order instead of refunding my money. Which is crazy because honestly I could have gotten salmonella! My mother is a USDA health inspector and I made sure to have her confide in her supervisors regarding the matter. Don’t waste your time here, the host in the front to me herself that I shouldn’t eat her because their health score is low!

Cracker barrel has changed up their menu some. It was nice to see new options, but I was disappointed that some of our favorite dishes seemed to be different. Our overall experience at the location was good. We were able to be seated right away. Our server was nice and professional.

The campfire chicken dinner was delicious! The family friendly atmosphere would have been good but there was a young child who kept screaming and the parents either were struggling to control the child or not trying. It echoed in the restaurant because there’s no carpet (good for spills but not screams). Once the child stopped 1/2 way through our meal, the atmosphere was good. Our server had to be asked to refill drinks, forgot to bring our biscuits until we asked for it and forgot other things we asked for a few times and didn’t clear away any dishes, but she was nice and polite and eventually came through with everything we asked for with a smile. We weren’t in a hurry and the food was so good that it helped be patient.

We enjoyed our meal as always. Today we had the pleasure of being served by Jessica, and she was fantastic! She promptly greeted us and explained all of our options on the menu. Quickly, she had our drinks on our table and without delay, took our order. We were eating Ing our delicious meal soon after. It was, overall a great experience all because of the amazing service she provided.
