Cracker Barrel - Holyoke

We stopped at Cracker Barrel on our way to Vermont and it was our first time visiting this chain. The store was delightful, filled with many fantastic items to browse and purchase. After exploring the shop, we headed to the restaurant. Our server was exceptional, and the cookies we ordered were delicious! The food arrived quickly and was served hot. However, aside from the cookies, the rest of the meal was typical of what you'd expect from a chain restaurant. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and would definitely consider returning for breakfast in the future!

I absolutely love visiting this restaurant! Everything I’ve tried here has been delicious. The biscuits and cornbread served before the meals are fantastic. My favorite dish has to be the chicken dumplings—so tasty! I also enjoyed the combo meal, which allowed me to sample a variety of items, including ham, meat, and chicken. I ended up with plenty of food to take home for leftovers! The atmosphere is charming, with vintage items adorning the walls, a gorgeous large fireplace, and a shop where you can buy wonderful gifts. My three-year-old behaves so well at the dining table, knowing that he can earn a treat from Mom and Dad after we finish eating!

On my second visit, I enjoyed it even more than my first meal. The steak, along with the eggs and fried apples, were fantastic. I made a substitution and decided to try the perpetrators again. Overall, a much-improved experience!

Our unlikely visit here was charming and pleasant. We entered as a party of 3, there was no waiting time, so we sat immediately and were soon greeted by our server. He has something from a Savoir fair that complements the lands elegance of the atmosphere. Sufficient to say we were very pleased at the departure. Our tip on our attentive server reflected this accordingly. High expectations were met! You should try this place, especially if you like cookies.

Flavorful food in a quaint atmosphere with lovely customer service. Check out is a bit of a hassle they apparently don't trust their wait staff to collect the bill and you'll have to wait online to check out.
