Why Locals Love Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store in Cicero, NY is a comforting slice of Southern hospitality and traditional American flavors, perfect for those seeking hearty, nostalgic meals in a warm, family-friendly setting. Known for its rich Southern cuisine and classic American staples, this beloved chain offers a dining experience steeped in down-home charm and generous portions that fill both the belly and the heart.

Step inside and you’ll immediately notice the inviting farmhouse atmosphere, complete with rustic wooden decor and a charming country store that beckons you to browse for unique gifts and exclusive seasonal decor. The aroma of fresh-baked biscuits and slow-cooked meals fills the air, evoking vivid memories of grandma’s kitchen and Sunday family dinners.

The menu at the Cicero location showcases a selection of timeless favorites, each bursting with comforting flavors. For meat lovers, the Country Fried Steak stands out—a USDA Choice cut fried to golden perfection and smothered in rich, creamy sawmill gravy. Paired with hand-rolled buttermilk biscuits or moist corn muffins and two or three country sides, this dish epitomizes the essence of Southern comfort food. The Meatloaf, a hearty blend of tomatoes, onions, and green peppers, offers a tender and flavorful bite reminiscent of home-cooked family recipes. Seafood enthusiasts will relish the Country Fried Shrimp, delightfully crispy and served with hushpuppies and classic Southern sides, or the Campfire Shrimp Skillet, where grilled shrimp mingles with andouille sausage, buttery seasoned corn on the cob, and red skin potatoes cooked to tender perfection in a savory broth sealed in foil to lock in all the flavors.

Beyond just the food, Cracker Barrel provides a memorable dining atmosphere complemented by outstanding customer service. Guests like Stephanie McGee highlight the comforting, headache-free quality of their meals, while Mario Miranda praises the attentive staff who warmly accommodated his group even as closing time approached. The friendly and patient service, as noted by Mar W, ensures each visit feels personalized and welcoming. The bustling country store adds an extra layer of magic, packed with holiday-themed decor and unique Cracker Barrel merchandise that makes it hard to leave empty-handed, as Carrie Luther experienced.

This definitely was the only place on my trip that didn’t give me a headache or make my stomach hurt! Brought back so many childhood memories when i walked through the door! And ofc I brought back presents!! Oh I had the shepherds pie with the pot roast …it was decent and the pot roast was definitely tender

It had been a long time since we went to a Cracker Barrel. This one didn't disappointed. I ordered the hamburger stake, came with sautéed onions and delicious creamy gravy and country hash brown potatoes. I also had a sugar plum mimosa. So good! Shout out to hostess Jessica and phenomenal waitress that patiently helped with my order, Savannah M. It was a great experience!

Halloween and Fall has hit the shelves at Cracker Barrel’s Country store! Mid July May seem early if you are not a Holiday enthusiast, but now is the time to shop! They have Cracker Barrel exclusive decor. I found it hard to resist some of the new items. The store is packed with merchandise and though I did not dine there this trip, it smelled amazing! I have previously had brunches and Easter Dinner at this location. I’ll definitely be back to shop and dine. Update I brought my kids as a post Easter late lunch early dinner. Service was efficient, and friendly. The food came out pretty quickly, it was a Monday afternoon so not busy. My son had steak and eggs, which he enjoyed but the steak was unevenly cooked and extremely rare. Teenage boys aren't very picky and the steak was consumed before I could even comment! My daughter had the Oreo Stuffed Cheesecake Pancakes. We each tried a bite as well. Pure sinful chocolate cheesecake delight! I recommend sharing as a dessert. They are so rich, my daughter could only eat one. I had the Saucy Chicken Sandwich with Tennessee Hot sauce with steak fries. I should have tried the sauce before pouring over the chicken, it hits you Smokey, bbq, then the hot! I love spicy and hot but this was different, and has the highest calories of the sauces. Chicken hand breaded with the perfect crunch to chicken ratio. Loved the sandwich pick with iconic barrel on top! Steak fries served hot and crisp added some pepper to give them a bit more flavor. Love the old fashioned ambiance and the Cracker Barrel store! They still have the checker boards my kids used to play as children. I hope with many Cracker Barrel's being modernized they keep the old fashioned feel, keep the nostalgia alive! It's code orange Ghoulies at CB! Halloween is in full swing on display! They have the sold out online vintage blow molds in stock! So run don't wait the blow molds are highly sought after, and are predicted to be heirlooms for us holiday haunters! Always love the nostalgic vibe of the classic store with oodles of merchandise! Tons of summer novelties as well. I didn't eat this visit as I already broke the bank with my hauntingly amazing Halloween purchases! But I did sign up for the rewards membership and scored a complimentary shareable appetizer as my first reward, good for thirty days! I'll be back to cash in on that and the summer menu looks delectable! The staff was very friendly and retrieved the huge haunted house blow mold from stock and delivered to check out.

The tour bus pulled into The Cracker Barrel in Cicero NY last night for dinner. What a great place, huge menu, a variety of meals basically down home, country cooking. You know mac and cheese, shepherds pie, meatloaf. All the stuff you grew up eating. Fancy.. nope, but big portions, delicious and not expensive. Friendly waiters and served fast to get us back on the tour bus. You leave through the gift shop, also amazing with great prices.

My visit to this cracker barrel was amazing! My waitress, I am not sure of her name, she had blue glasses, very kind. We ordered the chicken tender meal, w/ mac and cheese, fries, chicken noodle soup, and the waitress brought us the best cornbread and biscuits. A not so good day, turned great with the deliciousness of this establishment. Food was 10/10 would highly recommend this location. Absolutely no complaints for dinner around 5:30 pm. No wait, comfortable, enjoyed the games at the table, and was really warmed by the staff’s presence. Was even convinced to buy candy on the way out by our waitress, which 3/$5.99 bagged candies was a great way to end the night!!!! Also- gift shop is a must even just to peruse.

This is a southern style restaurant featuring grilled chicken. We dropped by on our way back to Canada . Got seated immediately. They are offering quite a selection of menu items with kids menu, strawberries lemonade is refillable. Ordered: Grilled chicken- 4/5 Kids menu- 5/5 strawberries lemonade 3/5 Corn breads and biscuits 5/5 ( complimentary) Overall good quality, grilled chicken was juicy and delicious, kids menu is big portion for only $6.99. Corn breads and biscuits/( complimentary) were airy and fresh. Considering the price, these are offering a great value! Highly recommended!
