Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - Yuma

We went for breakfast and ordered both the Grandma and Grandpa Breakfasts, along with a side of Fried Pickles and, of course, the biscuits. Everything was delicious, but the Fried Pickles really stood out, along with the complimentary dessert and the Birthday Song that accompanied it.

Service was awesome. Display of retail goods with Xmas was amazing. Food unfortunately was not too good. Breakfast orders were ok. Fried chicken orders were tasting like they were cooked in old oil. Bad taste on the crust...inside was ok. Pork chops were dry and bland taste. The Cole slaw was delicious and the Mac and cheese was delicious. When the sides taste better than the main dish....not good! One odd thing also happened...my 65 year old sister in law ordered a mimosa and was carded! Since she forgot her Id at home she was not allowed to order the drink! We thought she was joking with us but she refused to take her order! We decided not to make a big deal out of it, since she was very nice and not her policy. Probably won't come here again!

I'll preface this by saying, I love Cracker Barrel and this location gave great service delicious food that I've come to expect. This is a convenient location off the freeway and was greeted by the familiar outdoor porch area and rocking chairs. Inside we were quickly seated and greeted. As usual everything looked good so opted for the 3 item sampler platter of meatloaf, fried chicken chicken and dumplings with a side of broccoli and mashed potatoes. Delicious as usual and satisfied my comfort food craving. The biscuits and corn bread are also an added bonus to the meal. Besides the food I always enjoy looking at the store items especially this time of year where they have Halloween and holiday stuff. I wish they would open locations in Southern California, but on the flip side it is a special treat to eat here since it's not something I can get everyday.

I've eaten at others Cracker Barrel's but this is the only one I wouldn't return too. Everything tastes processed. The chicken pot pie isn't cooked with chicken in it. It's added after the fact so when you eat it; the chicken is dried out in a spoonful of hot liquid. So you get a soggy and tough bite. The service is great and the ambience is second to none.

We stopped here on our way to California and enjoyed such a delicious meal that we decided to stop again on our way back. Both times, the food was exactly as we ordered and served hot. Danielle was our server during our first visit, and she did an excellent job checking in with us to ensure we had everything we needed and that our orders were correct. On our return trip, Brooklyn was our server, and she handled everything well despite being very busy that day. I ordered a massive, incredibly fresh salad, which they called a side salad, and it came with my meal of turkey and mashed potatoes. Honestly, that salad could have been a meal on its own. We received an abundance of food for the price, which was quite surprising. We will definitely consider Cracker Barrel more often on our travels.
