"Food was good as always! Outback Steakhouse's Outback Center-Cut Sirloin* is always one of their best things to order. Steak is their specialty after all! Nice and filling. Got free bread too! I didn't expect that. Wish they provided better utensils though. Only had the butter knife for the bread, so I had to make do with the butter knife to cut the steak with. Not a big deal though, everything else? Perfect."
"food was great. I did not like the corn Parmesan Creamed Corn side. definitely not worth getting. the mozzarella boomerangs were not great either not crunchy. the steak and baked potato however were delicious. and I am Still thinking about the bread they served with it! how come people rave about olive garden gross bread but not Outbacks delicious rye bread?!"

"the food was good, and I rarely like to leave less than 5 stars. however, the chicken portions for the Crispy Chicken Crispers® Combo were incredibly small. taste was great, delivered very fast. But very small portions. Mini Chocolate Molten was great."
"Cajun Pasta was pretty tasty and tasted fresh, and had a nice Cajun kick. It was a good size, however, I didn't like my garlic toast burnt. Sausage & Chicken Cajun Pasta was tasty, with a good Cajun kick. The Sausage & Chicken Cajun Pasta definitely didn't look anything like it's picture post on your menu page. It was delicious!

"I ordered a foot long tuna and received a 6" instead. I also asked for lettuce, tomato, spinach and as you can-see in the picture received cucumber and green peppers, no spinach and it was drowning in mayonaise which I did not ask for. "
"The Baja Steak & Jack was super delicious. The meat was fresh and warm when I got it. On the other hand, the Chicken & Bacon Ranch wasn't that good. The chicken was cold and the cheese wasn't melted at all. They didn't put really any ranch on it so it was pretty dry."

"Very inconsistent w their side portions. Ex. The past few times I've ordered there's either been a half an avocado or like 3 small slices. And for the price of the adorn I feel like there should be at least a half avocado. Tuna is sometimes fishy. Otherwise pretty fresh and good. "

"Lots of food for the price and everything I got was just soooo good I got sushi I got crabmeat salad miso soup and hibatchi and it was so much food. All demolished though I'm ordering from here for alllll my sushi needs oh and the bubble tea was amazing too"
"I ordered Harumaki (3pcs), spicy miso chicken Ramen ラーメン with ginger and a strawberry Ramune (Japanese Soda) ラムべ I was craving Ramen and wanted it authentic Japanese so I decided to give this place a try. 10 out of 10, easily! The food was piping hot when I received it and very flavorful. The Ramen is large enough for two, maybe even three people for lunch. After that, you'll eat a late dinner. As I'm not familiar with using chopsticks or Japanese soda, I had to find a video on YouTube for proper usage and opening of the soda. The soda is particularly small but flavorful. The egg rolls were crispy and the dipping sauce for it is perfect. The noodles were cooked to perfection, the egg gave it a nice creamy taste, and the spicy miso gave it a lot of flavor. I let it sit for a few minutes to absorb all of the ingredients and it tasted like heaven! I'll definitely come back for another order and try something different. Hokkaido, you did not disappoint with the flavor and value for your money."

"Crispy Homestyle Chicken made hot, fresh and a good size portion for 1. Momma's French Toast Breakfast® had an amazing flavor. Could have used more eggs.Bacon was made just right. The biscuits topped everything off wit the whipped butter and blackberry jam. I would order that combination again.Although, I really enjoyed the homestyle chicken and French toast combo. They took it off the menu a week ago. They should bring it back! Thank you for the Shift Leader Cassandra who was on duty 8/25/25 at 4pm ."
"The Homestyle Chicken & French Toast wa delicious, still hot and well done with the right amount of crunch.TheFreshly Brewed Sweet Iced Tea (Half Gallon) was very refreshing. I enjoyed the Macaroni & Cheese although it was a small amount in the portion control bowl. I was provided with Silverware which was helpful. I also ordered Thick-Sliced Bacon and Two Eggs* which topped off my brunch nicely. I'd recommend Cracker Barrel to others and would order again. Thank you for being precise on the fast order !"

The reason why I will not order again, I believe that $39.00 for 5 scallops, some fresh green beans (which are in season now), plus a scoop of rice is ridiculous. I understand that all prices have gone up. But truly much to expensive. "

"Yours, Mine, Ours Decorated Bundt I didn't think it was possible for a bundt cake to taste this good! Got this for our anniversary and my girlfriend loved the decorations. The cake was moist, the frosting was delicious, and its the perfect size for you and your significant other to get plenty of slices each. 10/10 would order again"
"I definitely recommend! The cakes came on time, the packaging is very nice (love the blue bags they come in), the cakes were nicely decorated and consistent, and they were super yummy and moist. I especially recommend the strawberries and cream flavor, it's got such a nice fresh taste. I also love the icing, rich but with a tang from the cream cheese that cuts through the richness."
