Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

If you've been wandering through the wilds of Tennessee, pondering the eternal question of whether there's more to life than saltines in a wooden barrel, I've got news for you: Cracker Barrel in Ooltewah is here to expand your culinary horizons and then some. Upon stepping into this homely establishment, the first revelation is that, contrary to popular belief and despite its name, Cracker Barrel does indeed offer more than just crackers. Shocking, I know. The menu is so extensive that you might just need a road map and a compass to navigate through the sea of comfort food options. It's like discovering a treasure chest, but instead of gold, it's overflowing with biscuits and gravy, chicken n' dumplings, and enough country-fried steak to make you consider writing a country ballad about it. The atmosphere is as cozy as your grandma's living room if your grandma's living room was the size of a barn and adorned with more antiques than the History Channel can shake a stick at. The place is decked out with rocking chairs that beckon you to sit a spell, and the walls are a veritable museum of Americana, making you half expect Teddy Roosevelt to come marching out of the kitchen, brandishing a drumstick. The staff at Cracker Barrel in Ooltewah deserves a shout-out for their service, which is so warm and welcoming you'll start to wonder if you've accidentally stumbled into a family reunion. They're so friendly, in fact, that you'll leave knowing their life stories, from Aunt Sally's famous meatloaf recipe to the saga of Cousin Joe's lost harmonica. And they're always on hand to recommend their favorites, guide you through the menu, and assure you that, yes, there's more to life than just crackers. Let's talk about the food, which is so comforting, it feels like a hug from the inside. Each dish is served with a side of nostalgia, making you nostalgic for times you never lived through. It's the kind of place where calories don't count because everything is cooked with love (and probably a bit of butter). And for those adventurous souls who might still be clinging to the hope of finding actual barrels of crackers, you'll be pleased to know that the biscuits are so fluffy, they'll make you forget all about your cracker quest. In conclusion, Cracker Barrel in Ooltewah is a revelation, a place where comfort food is raised to an art form, and the discovery that there's more to their menu than crackers feels like unearthing a hidden culinary treasure. Whether you're a local or just passing through, make sure to stop by. You'll leave with a full belly, a warm heart, and maybe, just maybe, a new appreciation for the wide world beyond the wooden barrel.

How was up excellent service at Cracker Barrel? The only thing I don't like and sometimes. I got to wait on all that good food.

I had the worst and coldest food. You can't even call anyone because the phone is shut off . I spent 50.00 and threw most of it away. I received no silver wear,condiments,or napkins for my order and u could eat nothing without them.this is my receipt for my order

The evening our group of six had dinner at Cracker Barrel they were very busy and short staffed. But, we were finally seated and our server now worked two sections. She was very conscious of all her customers needs & wants. Our food was so good! But sadly they ran out of vegetable soup. Would we go back to this particular store? Most definitely!

Vegetarian options: They had an impossible sausage patty that was quite good!

Everyone was so nice and friendly! Best Cracker Barrel ever... the food was awesome!

Our 1st time visiting and we enjoyed the food and service.
