Remember the saying, “No good deed goes unpunished.” Cracker Barrel is not the only restaurant that doesn’t allow employees to give away food. Thank the people who brought us a litigious society; as well as, some people trying to make a quick, easy, dollar from someone’s kindness. No more giving away the left-overs.
Lapin Garçon ahhh I must have missed the warning part. Makes sense I guess. I still wouldn’t have fired the guy (assuming he is half decent at his job)...but maybe that’s just me.
Cracker Barrel is delicious down-home southern cooking. It's affordable and great food. No one goes there with thoughts of calorie counting. As a Texan living in Virginia its food that I miss and it satisfies my craving.
We just ate at Cracker Barrel yesterday. The good was good with generous servings, service was friendly and prompt and the overall experience was good. There was a good mix of ethnicities and everyone was treated the same. I will be going back.
As a person who has worked at a Cracker Barrel for 3 years, it’s as ridiculous & anal as it’s portrayed. They cut hours just to save money, make you do tasks that were not in your job description, and will try to prevent you from trying to protest. The turnover rate is stupidly huge, the pay isn’t worth it, and management is not only inconsistent, it’s also degrading towards all of the other employees below them. Would never work there again!
How about this a hotel work at in New Orleans area had a WW11 Veteran who lived down the st. He was 80 years old in 2001 and tell me stories about Germany inwar. Well he would make a pot of coffee before restaurant open in am. For.him nothing else he came there.at 25 yrs. Then new manager came in &said to cook go tell that man he can't have anymore coffee crazy he's a Veteran and sometimes 3 others his age came in i think they to could be vets.
@@Legend-lc9bv honestly I stopped working there a couple months after I wrote this because of the racism that I saw. Dont get me wrong not everyone who works there is racist. A lot of people work there because its the only job they could get. But I could not work there anymore after I saw blatant racism from corporate.
The issues stems from the fact that it's usually the leftovers or the end of the shift items that are given out to the homeless. That's why most of the rules/laws were made, so that when given moldy or older items that could make someone sick it becomes exponentially worse when that person doesn't have the means to help themselves get better, leading to a whole mess of accountability issues legally and ethically
@@B01 there food must really be trash if the leftovers get old and moldy within a day you sound like they hired you to be their attorneySpeak logical stop speaking like you know everything and you clearly don’t
Not working at Cracker Barrel, as they savagely fired poor Brad's Wife years ago. Legend has it, if you sit on the rocking chairs just as the sun sets, you can still hear "what about my WIFE?!" echoing through the windchimes.
Regarding the racist stuff - The place is called "Cracker Barrel" lol. People have been cracking jokes about the restaurant's race relations decades before any of the official allegations came out.
In 1981, "Sambo's" became "Family Sam's," then a couple years later it became a Dennys. I always liked the 76 Truckstop when I was a kid, that and HoJo's. And the Sinclair Oil Dinosaur... I miss the 70s.
Cracker barrel fired me for making a post about how the cooks touch the food and dropped the food and still serve it out . I got a lot of dirt on cracker barrel and I'm going to make a video about it within the next week with everything about cracker barrel
Iv worked as a dishwasher and grill cook for two years, never seen issues like that, rn we have two charts with every employees name and different teams, one keeps track of how many dishes everyone breaks and how much food is dropped. Hope you found a better job.
My location broke their own policies and also laws all the time. I reported things to corporate and eventually they fired me for "insubordination" after continuously giving me contradicting orders from different managers. This didn't happen until a new GM showed up. After my firing, i followed up with some of my favorite coworkers who said they tried to transfer but each one got fired the day after asking. My regulars found me at another restaurant and started telling me about how awful the service and food had become, especially when the managers were involved. Manager at my new restaurant had an underage niece start working at the cracker barrel and told me about how they changed her clock out times after she left so as not to break child labor laws (or have proof of it). The few good managers that location saw would heavily hint at wrongdoing among the other managers, but couldn't outright say anything to me, and very quickly transferred to other locations.
@@kylesomething8038 yep I quit after I started to do the math on my paychecks and hours, I put my two weeks in and the entire time I was getting shit from the managers, mostly just bullshitting but my gm was super childish about the whole thing and now it's affecting my mom who's a server there. Seems like ceacker barrel as a whole is starting to fall apart cuz I'm hearing about a lot of other stores in the district not doing good at all.
@@kylesomething8038 I understand your feeling but more for my co workers out of the 30+ people only 4 or 5 treated me like I wasnt their little bitch, and then want to complain about how much they work and stuff and how I had no room to talk because I never bitched about my problems they never realized I worked twice as much as them, until i blew up on everyone lol
I can’t believe that they fired the 73-year-old guy forgiving a homeless man a stupid corn muffin! If that actually happened they have probably lost a really good and regular customer!
It's a shame...what's become of our society? We owned Corkey's Family Restaurant in Bakersfield CA. I gave food to homeless people all the time. Kindness costs you nothing. We threw away more food than what I gave to them. We miss the people but not the restaurant business......
Cracker Barrell is one of my favorites. The daily specials are great. You mentioned Thanksgiving day. My now X and I went. They only serve a preset menu. Since I'm allergic to pecans, I asked for no sweet potato pie because it has pecans. They said I can't make adjustments to the menu. Needless to say, my X and I left and ate at Golden Corral.
Theres some things that should be able to be changed but as a cook that works at a cracker barrel, the reason you couldnt get the sweet potato cassarole without pecan is because its cooked in the cassarole, simply picking the pecans out couldve still ended up with you having a reaction to it and a risk of lawsuit.
Our Greensboro NC Cracker Barrel has great service and good food! Stores vary from location to location - you can’t generalize about a whole chain of over 600 stores!
So lemme get this straight, they can fire an employee for giving away free food to someone who NEEDS it?? BUT don't fire someone for giving away FREE APRONS to a couple of old folks because they went to every cracker barrel on their bucket list??
I once worked for a place that wouldn't give anyone free food. It was a scared of a lawsuit thing that caused the policy not the kindness of the owners.
I will NOT go to Crackle barrow!!! Went to 3 different C.B. in 3 different states. All had VERY BAD SERVICE! One we got cold food...eggs don't taste good cold! At another we waited over 45 minutes for food that never came. We walked out! Very few customers and taking 45 minutes to get a Breakfast order....
@@cindyb2425 I said NOTHING about the workers! Although,I have worked in the Resturant business (server and cook) for over 40 years.I could have made quite a few!

A few months ago I was at cracker barrel, first customer in the door that morning, everything placed on the table was cold, I will not be back. So they can have their pride chair
The food is great.I like to carry different ones there to see if they know what all that old stuff is hanging from the ceiling is. Antiques - it’s a conservational piece . I grew up using a lot of the things they have hanging up there .
Love cracker barrel the one in new jersey every time i go to altantic city . I love southern home cooking because of my southern roots. Love the store before you go into the restraunt and like decorted victorian restraunt
Well, there are only two, here where I live around closest to me. But I live where a Sundowners is. And Sundowners takes the cake. Been loyal for many years.
Saved my life driving my kids from Miami to Virginia for 20 years!! Kids played games and if they behaved and ate with manners they could shop for 1 item in the store.
I went there a couple weeks ago. Got their breakfast but the pancakes were not as good as the last time I ate them there. You could taste crisco in them. Wasn't very good.
Well, I think CB is one of my favorite restaurants! Its my dad and moms go to place ! Wherever I take them in these Unted States , CB out shines them all! They are consistent on taste and service everywhere we have been. ( I would not there every day, I would be big as a house) but, once a week is good for me. The pecan pancakes, hash browns, turkey bacon and scrambled eggs are what I get everytime I go for breakfast. Mmm! The best.
The Food is consistent every time you go there as it is in packages that all they have to is just heat it. Service is service - sometimes you get a good courteous waitress who checks back often for refills etc. doesn’t happen all the time. They normally don’t write down the order requests and this is an issue- the real bummer is they sweep the floors while your eating - not a good practice- I’ve mentioned it to the local Mgr but falls on deaf ears - They also no longer give 10% discount to Vets - they told me last night that I had to be on Active duty and in full uniform to get the discount- even Arbiy s gives Vets a 15% discount with no uniform or active duty requirements- finally.. the stuff they have for sale in the lobby is way out of line! I doubt seriously that they sell much merchandise-
I'm not crazy about having to walk through that flea market before getting to the restaurant but I don't eat there very often. Food is consistent but I still prefer Dennys or I hop especially for breakfast.
The last time I went to a Cracker Barrel I ordered sausage and eggs. The eggs were extra small and the sausages looked like quarters. Since I was a guest I didn't complain at the time but my wife and I did have to go to another restaurant because we were still hungry. They have a very nice souvenir shop but I will never go there to eat again.
I agree with you. I was in Salt Lake City visiting relatives and took them out to Cracker Barrel’s for dinner and went away disappointed in the size of the servings. Don’t plan to put them on one of places to eat anymore.
Be aware that when they had a gift card of $10. at thanksgiving time when you purchased a family dinner , they wouldn't give it to you, saying its on a e-mail, its here, its there. Won't go back. Sorry there are too many places in California that need our help with food.
I ate some roast beef with gravy at our Cracker Barrel Restaurant today and last week and it was so tender it just fell apart and was really delicious. But I decided to order what I thought was the same roast beef to go. it took nearly 20 minutes to get it ready considering it was being served in the restaurant already. Something didn't seem quite right because what I ate in the restaurant isn't what I brought home and ate. The roast beef I ate at home was very tough and obviously wasn't baked for 12 hours like they claim. I should have gotten the same meat that I was served in the restaurant and it sure in hell wouldn't have taken 20 minutes for me to get either, since all they had to do was take it up and add gravy. Never again will I take roast beef home if Cracker Barrel is going to pull that on me.
Lol they fired an holy forgiving a homeless person a piece of bread but they were honor a couple for going around to visiting every store they've made wow that blows my mind if they're that damn greedy they can keep all their damn food and their s*** they got to go with it
This is going to sound silly, but this could tell you how long I've been with Cracker Barrel. @11:16ish, there's a small glass jar of honey. We haven't had those for years. How do I know this, you ask? I keep my weed in one of those little honey jars 😂👍
Nah doesnt sound silly i found one of those a few months ago in the chemical room, wish theyd bring them back, sweet little jars to have. Better than the stupid baby bottles we have now.
The problem there, with the homeless dude and free grub, the _whole_ problem, is _rules._ If there were no rules, there'd be no problem. Oh, there'd be _problems,_ alright, on a societal level, but there'd be no problem with giving a guy food...
A few other things everyone should know about Cracker Barrel: Be aware that the portions are minuscule, especially the sides. I hear that used to be different, but for the last few years at least, they're really stingy with the food. My Mom ordered country ham and got something that looked like half a slice of deli ham. 5-6 small french fries in each of our orders and a single mouthful of their hashbrown casserole. The trout fillet was tasty, but paper thin. We both went away hungry. If you're a vegetarian or vegan, you won't find a meal here. Even most of their vegetables are cooked in animal fat. Cracker Barrel isn't handicap friendly. You have to pass through the shop, full of gaudy, overpriced junk to get to the restaurant. It's so overcrowded that it was a real chore trying to get my wheelchair through. The food wasn't worth the struggle.
1. That hasn't been my experience. 2. Couldn't care less about vegans. 3. True; but the staff and customer have been very helpful and friendly toward me and my wheelchair-bound father.
I tried a ham steak breakfast once, was disappointed with the size of the ham. Small, thin & had the bone in it . The multiple sides that came with it weren't my choices, they came with it. I tried them but didn't like them. So i left there still hungry.
Ya i fucking hate it, and you might start to, the store i work at got the first frier to start the homestyle, people on average are waiting 10 to 15 minutes to get their food because we are constantly holding on chicken.
Morbus 523 This a problem at mine too. Now we only have to worry about Southern Fried because that’s a 15 minute cook time. We fixed it by communicating with the chicken station person how many orders were left.
I work at one in Ohio we waste at least a couple hundred dollars of food a night and it's stupid someone should sighn something too eat it we don't give food too homeless or employees cause if anyone gets sick they can sue but at the end of the day it's the same petty business bullshit that makes this world a terrible place no love straight greed dude but sometimes like we throw away hole ass pans of stuff it's pretty awful if im closing dish me an the other guy ussully can eat a bunch when the managers aren't looking but we should take that stuff home like most places throw away a crazy ammount of steam line food like the Mac n cheese chicken tenders hash brown casserole mashed potatoes all that stuff just in the trash cause we made too much so we can't give it to homless cause they can claim sickness an most locations don't give employees food exept maybe Sunday random stuff because it would probobly encourage the person making the food too just make more so that everyone maybe their friends could then take home a bunch of free stuff but it really annoys me how much I see get thrown away I mean we fill a couple trash cans a night with food 7 days a week that's enough food too feed 30 people all day for a week like comon just give it too needy folk who even cares if they get sick people get sick from food all the time who cares wheir it was made an by who an my favrote food is the grilled hadock an double bacon burgers but I like working their cause we got everything you need in the store like candy chargers music records cheap jerky that's actually good an the southern fried chicken is pretty bad for you but the black frier oil is kinda gross too me I like grilled chicken better but y'all need too stop coming on Thanksgiving it's kinda crazy seriously like make your own godamm turkey like I don't even get it Thanksgiving should be a home family turkey an hella food thing like restaurants just are not for Thanksgiving I think mother's day surpasses Thanksgiving by far yo but our biscuits an cornbread suck in my opinion compared too red lobster but we throw away so many biscuits idek why they don't just come with the meal I think they do but Damm we throw away so much stuff it's a tragedy an noone really cares
I wonder if they know if they would bag the food individually, tie it up and place it on top of the dumpster then if someone got it they could not be held accountable for it...I talked a Dunkin donuts into doing that with their leftover croissants and donuts and bagels they tie them up individually.... a bag of bagels, a bag of donuts and a bag of croissants and set it on top of the dumpster and people do come and get it but that way it takes the liability off of the company... maybe you could try to run it by them and see if they would do the same.
@Michele Theriault it really is sad.... but what's even sadder is that most of the people that are waiting in the dark in the bushes for the food aren't even in shelters they are on the street...i have seen whole families waiting for them to close....but i have noticed mcdonalds in some places do it also....the bag their buns and they bag the burgers and place them on the side of the dumpster...law is if its "at" the dumpster, it is considered trash and are no longer liable for the product.
That General Mgr. Must be heartless. Cracker Barrels that I've been part of give away free muffins from time to time. If Cracker Barrel is that selfish not to feed someone in need then I'm out.

The pecan pancakes, hash browns, turkey bacon and scrambled eggs are what I get everytime I go for breakfast. Mmm! The best.
Sounds good never been there on my bucket list
Umm are you sure its turkey bacon, been a cook for two years and we dont have turkey bacon, we have turkey sausage, thats it though lol.
The Food is consistent every time you go there as it is in packages that all they have to is just heat it. Service is service - sometimes you get a good courteous waitress who checks back often for refills etc. doesn’t happen all the time. They normally don’t write down the order requests and this is an issue- the real bummer is they sweep the floors while your eating - not a good practice- I’ve mentioned it to the local Mgr but falls on deaf ears - They also no longer give 10% discount to Vets - they told me last night that I had to be on Active duty and in full uniform to get the discount- even Arbiy s gives Vets a 15% discount with no uniform or active duty requirements- finally.. the stuff they have for sale in the lobby is way out of line! I doubt seriously that they sell much merchandise-
I'm not crazy about having to walk through that flea market before getting to the restaurant but I don't eat there very often. Food is consistent but I still prefer Dennys or I hop especially for breakfast.
Geeze I always thought that was kinda a racist name for a place
Do they have cranberry jelly? If so, Yummm!!!!! My favorite.
Rights and what is right are two different things
I'm going Sunday ...and getting chicken. Thanks for the advertising
That fried turkey they had last year was delicious!!
The last time I went to a Cracker Barrel I ordered sausage and eggs. The eggs were extra small and the sausages looked like quarters. Since I was a guest I didn't complain at the time but my wife and I did have to go to another restaurant because we were still hungry. They have a very nice souvenir shop but I will never go there to eat again.
I agree with you. I was in Salt Lake City visiting relatives and took them out to Cracker Barrel’s for dinner and went away disappointed in the size of the servings. Don’t plan to put them on one of places to eat anymore.
Be aware that when they had a gift card of $10. at thanksgiving time when you purchased a family dinner , they wouldn't give it to you, saying its on a e-mail, its here, its there. Won't go back. Sorry there are too many places in California that need our help with food.
Start by getting rid of your incompetent politicians.
Me:yall serve booze here?
Waitress:no sir this is a family restaurant
Me:some families have drink.... My uncle drinks... Alot! Lol
I ate some roast beef with gravy at our Cracker Barrel Restaurant today and last week and it was so tender it just fell apart and was really delicious. But I decided to order what I thought was the same roast beef to go. it took nearly 20 minutes to get it ready considering it was being served in the restaurant already. Something didn't seem quite right because what I ate in the restaurant isn't what I brought home and ate. The roast beef I ate at home was very tough and obviously wasn't baked for 12 hours like they claim. I should have gotten the same meat that I was served in the restaurant and it sure in hell wouldn't have taken 20 minutes for me to get either, since all they had to do was take it up and add gravy. Never again will I take roast beef home if Cracker Barrel is going to pull that on me.
It's NOT a Rocking Chair...
You beat me to it. 👍
Lol they fired an holy forgiving a homeless person a piece of bread but they were honor a couple for going around to visiting every store they've made wow that blows my mind if they're that damn greedy they can keep all their damn food and their s*** they got to go with it
McDonald should welcome me like this, I go there everyday everywhere😜🤣
This is going to sound silly, but this could tell you how long I've been with Cracker Barrel. @11:16ish, there's a small glass jar of honey. We haven't had those for years.
How do I know this, you ask?
I keep my weed in one of those little honey jars 😂👍
Nah doesnt sound silly i found one of those a few months ago in the chemical room, wish theyd bring them back, sweet little jars to have. Better than the stupid baby bottles we have now.
The non-food items in the gift store are made in Red China.
They over charge you so much on the rocking chairs they aren’t donating anything the people who bought a over priced chair are paying for it.
I love C B. Stop judgement.
I love their fried shrimp with hush puppies and steak fries!! 🙂
all you need to know is 11 years of service isn't enough.
Their chicken and dumplings is so good! And the prices are great!
Chicken and dumplings are my favorite
Let's face it, Brad was happy his wife got fired.
Their business their rules.
Absolutely! Defund the antagonists.
I like the country store, and their biscuits are good, but that's all I really like.
Darling I'm afraid the man is NOT sitting on a rocking chair
The problem there, with the homeless dude and free grub, the _whole_ problem, is _rules._ If there were no rules, there'd be no problem. Oh, there'd be _problems,_ alright, on a societal level, but there'd be no problem with giving a guy food...
A few other things everyone should know about Cracker Barrel:
Be aware that the portions are minuscule, especially the sides. I hear that used to be different, but for the last few years at least, they're really stingy with the food. My Mom ordered country ham and got something that looked like half a slice of deli ham. 5-6 small french fries in each of our orders and a single mouthful of their hashbrown casserole. The trout fillet was tasty, but paper thin. We both went away hungry.
If you're a vegetarian or vegan, you won't find a meal here. Even most of their vegetables are cooked in animal fat.
Cracker Barrel isn't handicap friendly. You have to pass through the shop, full of gaudy, overpriced junk to get to the restaurant. It's so overcrowded that it was a real chore trying to get my wheelchair through. The food wasn't worth the struggle.
1. That hasn't been my experience.
2. Couldn't care less about vegans.
3. True; but the staff and customer have been very helpful and friendly toward me and my wheelchair-bound father.
Horrible place to work
I tried a ham steak breakfast once, was disappointed with the size of the ham. Small, thin & had the bone in it . The multiple sides that came with it weren't my choices, they came with it. I tried them but didn't like them. So i left there still hungry.
I came here just to confirm that Brad's wife was still making the rounds on Cracker Barrel videos.
The best restaurant in the south! ❤️
Their breakfest was terrible & will never return! Funny tasting gravy; Hard bisquits & short little pieces of bacon!
This place will fuck you around. No breaks, no help from a manager if you are the only dishwasher for the day. Just an overall shitty job.
If you're watching your weight or trying to diet then why in the world would you go to a Cracker Barrel in the 1st place?
There food is delicious especially their turnip greens. I like their food
They need to stop putting the dish buckets in the dining chairs when bussing the tables.... it's disgusting and the don't wipe down the chairs
Homestyle chicken is everyday now 😛
Ya i fucking hate it, and you might start to, the store i work at got the first frier to start the homestyle, people on average are waiting 10 to 15 minutes to get their food because we are constantly holding on chicken.
Morbus 523 This a problem at mine too. Now we only have to worry about Southern Fried because that’s a 15 minute cook time. We fixed it by communicating with the chicken station person how many orders were left.
Polly wants a cracker. And barrel of beer. What? No beer? I must be off my rocker.
Does Crackle Barrel sell electric rocking chairs?
*1 1 Y E A R S O F S E R V I C E*
I used to love the place now i hate it the menu changes too much and food is terrible or at least the ones ive been to
THE KOOL- AID MAN well you have to get the pieces of wall out of your mouth before you eat there kool aid man, they’re not too bad. Oooyeahhh
SirSwagnificent i hear you. But what are we comparing it to? Lol
The only thing I know about this place is that Brad Wife is not there anymore, neither will I
I work there and i have nightmare stories
I work at one in Ohio we waste at least a couple hundred dollars of food a night and it's stupid someone should sighn something too eat it we don't give food too homeless or employees cause if anyone gets sick they can sue but at the end of the day it's the same petty business bullshit that makes this world a terrible place no love straight greed dude but sometimes like we throw away hole ass pans of stuff it's pretty awful if im closing dish me an the other guy ussully can eat a bunch when the managers aren't looking but we should take that stuff home like most places throw away a crazy ammount of steam line food like the Mac n cheese chicken tenders hash brown casserole mashed potatoes all that stuff just in the trash cause we made too much so we can't give it to homless cause they can claim sickness an most locations don't give employees food exept maybe Sunday random stuff because it would probobly encourage the person making the food too just make more so that everyone maybe their friends could then take home a bunch of free stuff but it really annoys me how much I see get thrown away I mean we fill a couple trash cans a night with food 7 days a week that's enough food too feed 30 people all day for a week like comon just give it too needy folk who even cares if they get sick people get sick from food all the time who cares wheir it was made an by who an my favrote food is the grilled hadock an double bacon burgers but I like working their cause we got everything you need in the store like candy chargers music records cheap jerky that's actually good an the southern fried chicken is pretty bad for you but the black frier oil is kinda gross too me I like grilled chicken better but y'all need too stop coming on Thanksgiving it's kinda crazy seriously like make your own godamm turkey like I don't even get it Thanksgiving should be a home family turkey an hella food thing like restaurants just are not for Thanksgiving I think mother's day surpasses Thanksgiving by far yo but our biscuits an cornbread suck in my opinion compared too red lobster but we throw away so many biscuits idek why they don't just come with the meal I think they do but Damm we throw away so much stuff it's a tragedy an noone really cares
I wonder if they know if they would bag the food individually, tie it up and place it on top of the dumpster then if someone got it they could not be held accountable for it...I talked a Dunkin donuts into doing that with their leftover croissants and donuts and bagels they tie them up individually.... a bag of bagels, a bag of donuts and a bag of croissants and set it on top of the dumpster and people do come and get it but that way it takes the liability off of the company... maybe you could try to run it by them and see if they would do the same.
@Michele Theriault it really is sad.... but what's even sadder is that most of the people that are waiting in the dark in the bushes for the food aren't even in shelters they are on the street...i have seen whole families waiting for them to close....but i have noticed mcdonalds in some places do it also....the bag their buns and they bag the burgers and place them on the side of the dumpster...law is if its "at" the dumpster, it is considered trash and are no longer liable for the product.
The eeason we aee so busy on holidays is because nobody knows how to cook anymore
11 YEARS OF SERVICE
We love this place
Went c.b. In gurney,Illinois yesterday.i had a very decent meatloaf and wifey really like the open faced roast beef(especially the gravy).
I don't know about all of them but the Crack a Barrel in Abilene Texas is the nastiest food I've ever ate.
I never been to cracker barrel restaurant only heard of the Cheese
*They have a cottonfield out in the back*
That General Mgr. Must be heartless. Cracker Barrels that I've been part of give away free muffins from time to time. If Cracker Barrel is that selfish not to feed someone in need then I'm out.
Free biscuits, no.
Free aprons, yes.
