I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cracker Barrel (Baton Rouge, LA) in Aug 2017
Interview
Managers and staff were nice, offered me something to drink. I waited at table with other people who would be interviewing. I had to wait a little while for the retail manager. She asked about my availability and then hired me, I had to have a background check and she called me almost a month later. I had began to think I didn't get the job, but she eventually called.
it was horrible ZERO communication whatsoever i went in for the interview and spoke to the manager beforehand and i came in, asked to speak to the manager and she wasnt even there. still got my interview tho and then got told i wasnt going to be sonsidered right then and there. it hurt myfeelings
I applied online. I interviewed at Cracker Barrel (Hammond, IN) in Nov 2025
Interview
The date set-up interview process was automatic, yet the in person portion was inside of the restaurant. They set me up at a table and I waited for the manager. The manager asked me questions of my skills, experience, how I would describe myself and my approach to the customer.
The interview process was easy and very non-stressful. They asked general questions about why I wanted to work at Cracker Barrel and about my availability. I was interviewed in the dining area, so plan your interview during a time that's less busy.
