I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cracker Barrel (Murray, KY) in Dec 2018
Interview
Very quick, very easy, if you are dressed well and present yourself with a smile it will go very well! Be willing to work as a team because even though you have your own sections, it is a group effort and be prepared to help out whenever you can.

I was interviewed recently for getting rehired and it was lovely. Management really has my back here. I am glad to be back. I thoroughly enjoy working where I feel heard and understood.
Very fast and easy, asked very straight forward questions. Everyone was very nice. I would definitely recommend anyone that has food industry experience to apply. They respond very quickly to applications as well.

I applied in-person. I interviewed at Cracker Barrel (Greensboro, NC) in Feb 2024
Interview
Fairly easy. No background or drug testing because there is high turnover. They did make me wait for an hour just to be interviewed and it wasn't busy. It lasted all of ten minutes and I got the job.
