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.
There were 4 of us. We sat around waiting for at least 15 minutes. My wife got up and had to get someone to come to our table. After that the waitress wase done eating good. When we were done eating i went to pay the bill and had remembered i left my box to go home on the table. Went back to get it. They had thrown it away. Disappointed 😞
I had family come in for a visit while staying in the area. I usually have to drive to Raleigh or Fayetteville to find something to eat. (There are a couple BBQue restaurants a little closer though). They all wanted to meet for breakfast & I hv avoided Cracker Barrel due to the fact they mainly have pancakes & biscuits. The corporate site recommends asking for the manager. I did. Ryan came to the front hosting area & we spoke about my issues. He assured me that he would alert the staff & the waitress. I was able to have eggs (I suggest scrambled) I got over easy & then realized there was nothing to sop it up with so scrambled is a better bet. I had three strips of bacon & fruit. It was nice to be able to eat. When the waitress got to the table, she already knew I had Celiac. I'll definitely go back to Cracker Barrel.
Unfortunately decided not to eat at this particular franchise.
Seating hostess could not find a gf menu, asked for support and second hostess pointed out that regular menu was marked with options.
Her words.....items marked with a carrot are gf.
When pointed out that that symbol was for vevegetarian she claimed.....same thing.
So we promptly left.
Suggest better training is needed from head office!
This is a chain restaurant. The choices are few but adequate for breakfast. They have sausage and bacon and I’m not sure if the ham is gluten free. I had scrambled cheese eggs, bacon ( very salty), plain hash browns and a yummy bowl of fresh fruit. They do have an allergies book available . I was glad I looked because it said that their grits had gluten ?!
