Cracker Barrel Lufkin Reviews
"Stopped by the Cracker Barrel in Lufkin for a solid country breakfast and it did not disappoint. I ordered Grandma’s Holiday Sampler (Grandma's Plate) and it was exactly the kind of comfort food I was looking for. What really made the visit stand out, though, was our waitress, Cortney. She was incredibly friendly and provided top-tier customer service. It’s rare to find service this genuine these days—the management team there should be very proud to have her on the team! If you're stopping through Lufkin, ask for Cortney."
Savannah S was our server. She was a delight! She was very polite and efficient and had a great personality. The restaurant had only two servers the night my friend and I ate there. I know the servers were both very busy but Savannah S was as calm and patient and kind as she could be. You would have thought we were the only table she had to serve. What a refreshing change to have a server like her as opposed to some other restaurants where the server seems as if it is a problem to have to do anything. I have to say that all of the employees in this restaurant/store are very polite and always willing to help!!
Came out late for dinner with my family and had a great evening. All 8 of us ordered something different and it turned into a share and tell of sorts as everyone began talking about how good their food was and then bartering with each other.lol Savannah was super attentive as our server, but I have to admit, we nearly ran her to death back-and-forth to the kitchen. She was such a good sport about it however, and never once showed an ounce of frustration. Towards the end of dinner, a manager named Sarah came over to check on us. We ended up having a fun conversation with her for about five minutes with quite a few more laughs to add to our evening. All in all, I would rate this location a solid 10 out of 10!
Such a great place to be. Love the homey atmosphere and the home style food. The service is great and they have lovely managers. Jeff and Sarah keep the place alive. Ask for Kacey, Jackie, Marji, or Angel for the best experience. Try the take home meals! the meatloaf is delicious. This is the best spot in Lufkin for good southern food and a bit of nostalgia.
From the moment my guest and I walked in, the service was impeccable! Everyone was so friendly. They got my day off to an excellent start. The breakfast was delicious. The entire place was clean and our server Morgan was on top of everything. This was our first visit to Cracker Barrel and we almost went twice in one day because the food and the service was stellar. We had the French Toast and Chicken. It was fresh and delicious and they kept the fresh brewed coffee coming! Kudos to management and staff at this location - job well done! I’ll be back!

It was my first time eating at Cracker Barrel. The food was amazing and our waitress, Kelsey was beyond exceptional.
Gotta try the campfire meals! My favorite is the campfire beef. The atmosphere is also great, nice home feeling in my opinion. The service is always nice and respectful
Food was really good had chicken breast, fried okra, and a salad. The salad was $2 more or, my meal would have been Around $10. Came with biscuits too. The saltines that came with the salad were very stale. The wait staff was very attentive, professional, and friendly. There was one other diner in there so the place was empty- guess it's true what is being said about the failed marketing idea losing customers. This has always been our family trip place to eat because we always knew what to expect. Cracker Barrel was always worth the wait. The outdoor rocking chairs that used to be full of diners waiting for their name to be called were empty. Sometimes you need to be happy with the success you are having and not change to appeal to a crowd that wants 5 brother's burgers and a dining experience like every other restaurant. Appealing to younger people on a date or grabbing a bite to eat was never going to be the cracker barrel crowd. Cracker Barrel was where families went on a trip across the country and where you met up with grandmaw for lunch after church. If it works, don't change it. Love browsing and purchasing fun things at the old time store and the staff were amazing.
Kinda hard to get in and out of. New waitress was sweet but a bit timid. There was a spider crawling on my sweetheart's pancakes. Informed waitress and they were remade. The manager was super helpful and nice. Kitchen was on the slow side getting food out. Food was good. We would return if we were that way again.
This is meant to be a dining experience. I wouldn’t advise choosing this location if you’re in a hurry or on a limited time frame. The food is better than average but not anything to drool over. Their specialty teas are unique & refreshing. Service is a coin toss. You either get an amazing server or the slowest inattentive server; no in between. Enough registers for checking out that you don’t have to wait too long. The store of course is great and nostalgic. More than enough entrances/exits to get you back on your way which is very appreciated.

Great American Southern food, especially breakfast (not exactly low cal).\n\nExcellent service. Clean. Fun place to shop. I have gotten clothing for myself, grand children, & now gr-grand baby.
Upon entering, no hostess was at desk... waited several minutes until our server, Chevy, seated us. During that wait, two employees walked by and didn't acknowledge us. Chevy was very pleasant. We had Uncle Herchels and Grandmas Pancakes. I had the chicken strips and didn't like them. A weird wetness to the meat. Grits were runny. Biscuits good. Hubby liked his pancakes. He requested poached eggs but was advised they don't poach eggs. Overall, disappointing experience. Music too loud. Fireplace full blast and giving off a gas smell.
I placed an order on their app. The price shown for the Vegetable Platter was $7.99; however, I was charged $9.99. That is the price on their menu I was told so the app price needs to changed. My veggies & fresh cinnamon rolls were cold because they bagged them underneath the cold meal I also purchased. My order was also 20 minutes late. I usually make an effort to eat at Cracker Barrel when there's one nearby but this was just an all around disappointment.
My husband, four of our grandchildren and I are eating brunch at Cracker Barrel. The restaurant is crowded and noisy. Our waiter is soft-spoken and difficult to understand, due to the noisy background of loud country music and people speaking loudly to be heard at their tables (which echos through the restaurant). There are no prices on the kid's menus, and the menus are not clear as to drinks not being included with kid's meals. This needs to be corrected, as it is off-putting to large families on a budget. The water is filtered and tastes very good. (Lufkin tap water smells and tastes gross.) My husband and I are enjoying cinnamon roll lattes. One grandson is enjoying a Stewart's Root Beer. Ella (my granddaughter), David (my husband), and Emma (my granddaughterr) are having fun with the Jump All But One games, at our table. Our food was hot and fresh. My Sunday Fried Chicken, pinto beans, and cornbread muffins were delicious! My husband and I were served doughy, undercooked dumplings. We sent them back for fries. The fries were good. Ella and I liked the biscuits, but my husband found them undercooked in the center. Eedan (my grandson) loved his sliders and fries! Emma and Zander (my grandson) loved their confetti pancakes and bacon! Ella loved the bacon breakfast sandwich, too! Zander also enjoyed the hashbrown casserole, which the rest of our table abhorred. Our meal was hit and miss, but more hit than miss. The well-lit, free parking lot is clean. The restrooms are clean, well-stocked and have large, comfortable stalls. After a terrible Easter Eggsravaganza in Lufkin, with green-shirted church volunteers pushing past children in line to get Easter eggs to put their children first, we ate breakfast at Cracker Barrel again. I got the worst tasting strawberry mimosa ever - no sweetness, strong rock-gut alcohol taste, and I immediately sent it back. Our waitress did not remove the mimosa from our bill, so I deducted the cost of the gross, undrinkable beverage from her 24-percent tip. The food was fresh, hot and delicious, though.

For many many years, we came here for breakfast and LOVED the turkey sausage, because we don't eat pig. Today, we find out they know longer offer it. Sad.... Please bring back the turkey sausage!…
This is just not a good location. Was not busy at all and was probably 15 minutes before someone took our drink order and another 10 before we got them. I asked for a plate of biscuits and that was a problem. Apparently they dont give them out until they bring your meal now? And when they came they were dry and hard little hockey pucks. Not the fluffy pillows they used to be. Then two of our mains were wrong. Chicken fried steak instead of fried chicken. Additionally my pancakes had this strong garlic/onion flavor. Probably cooked next to something else and cross contaminated. 80$ to be disappointed. I won't be back. Quality has gone downhill. Prices have gone up and service was terrible.

Wish there was a no star!!! Never got waited on- told the server when we left and she just shrugged her shoulders! DON'T STOP HERE!!!
This place is the worst. I wish I could rate lower than one star but atlas I cannot. Our waitress was the only pleasent thing about our experience. We waited a hour for our food after placing our o…
Customer service, wait time on food or at least a decent explanation with we got none. Only giving 1 star because it won't let me out
I asked my waitress 3 times for some coffee and never got it. I asked another waitress to tell my waitress for some coffee still none. It was not very busy but took a long time to take my order. It was way too loud in there so I left and never got any food nor coffee. Terrible service. I was really looking forward to eating here. 😪
The service this morning was almost nonexistent. My wife and I waited to be seated, (they were not busy) then waited 20 more minutes before seeing a server (I had to ask the hostess if we had one when she sat another table nearby). The biscuits were hard as a rock and overcooked, the coffee that I ordered took a long time to arrive, and no creamer was offered with it. It was the worst experience I've had here by far. I even deleted a previous positive review to post this one.
This was the most disappointing experience I have ever had at Cracker Barrel. Our table of 5 waited up to 45 minutes and did not receive our food. Our waiter was rude, distant, and he only asked if we needed water, not refilling our beverages. We left because our food never showed up. The manager apologized, but it was too late at that point. We will never come back to this location again.
Not sure what's going on with Cracker B. I've visited two of their locations recently, including the Lufkin location. The waiters/waitress were great, however, the food was nothing like it use to be at both locations I visited. The pancakes are smaller and perfectly round like pre-made, and not fresh. They also tasted like they were heated in a microwave and were rubbery. The biscuit basket has a big hump underneath to give the optical Illusion that it's full, when it's not. The hash brown casserole tasted stale, and the grits were cold. I use to love going there because it reminded me of my grandmother's house in the country when I was young, especially with the big fireplace going in cold weather. I read they are trying to bring in new customers with a brighter interior and food changes. That's great, but you are losing the older repeat customs because of the food quality. Please undo the recent changes y'all have made with the food, and serve it fresh again.
Our experience had to be one of the worst we've had. We were set in an area with no waitress. Then the bus boy came and helped us. We got our drinks no napkins no biscuits no cornbread. Then a manager from the back came took her order, 45 minutes later we still did not have our order. I went to the kitchen I went in the door and I saw our tray of food just sitting under the heat lamp so I asked the main manager Melissa when were we going to get our food and I told her how disappointed we were in the service. She had someone bring it out to us. My mom got the chicken and dumplings and it was basically water in a bowl. She didn't eat it we took it home to the dog. My chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes was cold, ate half of it took the rest to the dog. All of this and the manager did not even take the meal off of our ticket we paid full price for such a crappy service. Unbelievable! However the store section was very organized, very clean. The man help me check me out was very nice.
