"I love Cracker Barrel and take my family there when we travel or after church when we are in town. With that said, my last three visits to this particular location have been slightly disappointing. When you walk in, it is like any other Cracker Barrel. You check in and walk around their store while you wait. As I walked around with my 2 year old daughter looking at knickknacks, I felt like I was being watched/monitored by one of the older employees. It was incredibly awkward because she just watched us. It did not spoil my visit, but it was worth noting that she never asked if I needed help or said anything. She just watched me and my daughter from 10 feet away. Next, we were seated (approx 15 min wait). We then waited 15 20 minutes before our drink order was taken, but our waitress was apologetic and handled it VERY well. I only note this because it typically takes this particular store a long time to get drink orders after we sit and the food takes a long time to come out of the kitchen. The waitress was phenomenal once we met her. When our food arrived, it was all great except my side order of beans. My wife commented that her food, including her hashbrown casserole, was bland. The beans were undercooked and did not eat them. I was full from the rest of the food, so it wasn't a big deal to me. My family and I love Cracker Barrel and will continue to go. I wish this particular location would be faster to get drink/food orders after the customers are seated and that employees would not follow me around in the store area I'm not stealing anything and if we break something we'll buy it. Parking: Location is off the interstate and has plenty of parking."

"I have seen this place a few times and thought of giving it a shot for well over a year, and tonight, we finally did. I am very impressed with the flavors, options, and service. It's difficult to find a quality Indian restaurant in Central Arkansas; if you are reading, give this one a fair chance.First, do yourself a favor and get the Mango Lassi it's amazing. We shared one, and I also heard the table across from us order one too and exclaimed how amazing it was.The Naan was great; fresh, hot, and flavorful. We had Cheese Naan and Garlic Naan. Couldn't have asked for anything more and paired well with each of our main dishes. There was plenty leftover to take home.For each of our main dishes, Chicken Korma and Lamb Rojan Josh, the flavors were balanced amazingly, and the serving size was plenty to share and take home for lunch tomorrow. I will say, and not a major complaint, I wish the rice would have been fresh. To be fair, we came in 1½ hours before closing; I'm not going to expect a whole fresh batch of basmati rice to be prepared just for only 5 people in the restaurant near closing. It was still flavorful. I just could tell it'd been prepared earlier.Pricing is what you'd expect at your basic Indian restaurant, but the quality and flavors are not basic. Great value!Will be going back again soon to try other options. I was really debating on whether to get the Korma or the Briyani; I will try next time along with the Mahi. I noticed many great reviews about the Mahi Mahi, and the server mentioned how great it is, too.Ordered: Mango Lassi, Garlic Naan, Cheese Naan, Chicken Korma, and Lamb Rojan JoshVegetarian options: Plenty available, every menu item seems to also have a vegetarian alternative. This is fairly standard at most Indian restaurants.Kid-friendliness: Kid options availableWheelchair accessibility: There is plenty of space to maneuver wheelchair inside and out."
