Cracker Barrel

2019- this review has nothing to do with the staff. They were great!! BUT I’m very disappointed in Cracker-barrel. One reason is they have no clue how to put together their new allergy menu. I think it’s been done by a person who has no idea or interest in the subject matter. I come here with my husband who enjoys the turkey and dressing which he says is very good but me...I love the vegetables but I have to make sure I don’t mess up all my hard work healing from years of torcher. Look at the allergy menu! You need to go back to the drawing board.

2018The veggies here are very delicious!

Staff was exceptional. They do have a very limited gluten free menu but our waiter was very helpful and provided it right away. It’s mostly limited to vegetables and potatoes and fruit. I had eggs and grits and fried apples with turkey sausage. It has caused no problems. I would say for breakfast it’s fairly easy to eat GF. Beyond that you are in for a lot of veggies. Wish they had GF bread.

When asked if GF Menu available I was given a 15 page spieal bound book listing every food item Doan the left side and 12 or more "allergens" as a header row across (spreadsheet style chart) I t would an hour with a magnifying glass to read that entire thing,very awkward and k.poisibke to be of any use to me. I asked about individual items.

This is a last resort restaurant IMO. I should have kept the"book" at the table as I am pretty sure the fried apples were in a flour based sauce.

I can't say I would recommend eating at a cracker barrel if you have celiac or a gluten sensitivity, but they do have options should you need them. They have an allergen menu on their website with some gluten free items, but there is still a high risk of cross-contact.

I only ordered a side of mashed potatoes to be safe. Explained to the staff that I have celiac disease and the importance of no cross-contact. I didn't have a reaction.

They do offer a gluten free menu and have a lot of gluten free items. I’m always a little cautious since they do such a high volume of food. No gluten free breads.

Absolutely a pain to eat here. Even with the allergen menu, the risk of cross contamination is very high.

A little disappointed with the options here. There is only one entree I can safely eat gluten free at this establishment- Grilled Chicken Tenderloins, with a few safe sides (usually I choose green beans and corn).

GF options are extremely limited here because almost everything is breaded, fried or is thickened with flour.

Cross contamination is possible.

Anyone who is Celiac should not eat here.
