Staff is not knowledgeable about food allergies. There are very few option that can be made gluten free. There are no safety practices in place.

Horrible. I was just passing through town and thought a chain would be safe since others have had luck with Cracker Barrels offering a dedicated gluten free menu. Not only do they not have a gluten free menu at this location, but the server had no clue about any allergens. I finally got a "menu" that was pretty much instructions for the kitchen staff on what they could offer. All they could offer is eggs, salad and very few sides (corn, carrots, sweet potato), but even with those items they say they can't guarantee anything. They don't have a dedicated frier or even grill space and they don't want to have to clean anything to prepare one meal. After asking to speak with the manager, I found that even their grilled chicken even contained flour. He seemed apologetic, but that doesn't help me much. Ended up not eating anything and watched the others in my party eat while I sipped my water. Skip this place and find the Fig Pig (which I later learned was nearby) instead.
No
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.
