      Surprisingly easy! They were very friendly and courteous throughout the process. The manager and I sat down for about 30+ minutes and once we finished, she said she loved my attitude and personality and I was hired on the spot!

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Cracker Barrel (Mount Laurel, NJ) in Jun 2026

      Interview

      Had initial job screening and in person interview. I was offered the position which I accepted. Had to give my 2 weeks notice at my old job so we scheduled a time to do onboarding in 2 weeks. When the time came to start the job the hiring manager and everyone else I talked with completely ghosted me claiming that only the retail manager could assist with onboarding and she was never available. After 2 weeks of calling I gave up. Absolute disgrace to offer a position and then just ignore me.

      Question 1

      Can you start in 2 weeks.

      Average interview

      Application

      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.
