I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cracker Barrel (Ocala, FL) in May 2012
Interview
I went in to fill out an application. When I returned it I spoke with one of the managers. She had me come back at 3 oclock the next day and speak with the general manager. he only asked me questions like. "Why do you want to work at Cracker Barrel?", "What skills do you think you need to have to be a good waitress."
The interview was easy. They know most of these servers are just starting out. But they want you to know how to upsell, and how to work in a fast pace environment.
I applied online. I interviewed at Cracker Barrel (Shrewsbury, PA) in Nov 2025
Interview
It went pretty well, just asked the norm, such as tell me a little about yourself and why do you want to work here. Just asked simple questions and told me I had the job and what day to come in next. I applied to be a server and they told me I would get 25 hours a week, but they ended up making me a to-go specialist and I’m getting like 6 hours a week. I also didn’t get scheduled for a month after my interview but I’m working a bit now.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give me a situation with a difficult customer and how you handled it
Very easy, seems like they were looking for a pulse. Mine was done at the checkerboard in the dining room. not a difficult job, so not a difficult interview. I don't remember any specific questions
