So Who Here Loves Cracker Barrel?

I've been there twice and I'm not impressed. Went once and got some pancakes that ended up being 8 dollars. Went a second time and had the most bland chicken fried steak ever, didn't even taste like there was salt on it.
I saw somebody served the chicken fried steak at iHop and witnessed them cringe at the jello-like gravy.
I like the hash brown casserole but trying to get into one for Sunday breakfast is harder than trying to stick your dick in a cheerio
i don't know what people are thinking getting the gravy from a chain. just stick with the pancakes or a generic breakfast plate.
Popeye's is southern, no? I kinda love those hockey pucks.
IIRC, they were struggling for a long time, Mitt Romney's company modified them, and I guess the conclusion is that mac n cheese is hella profitable so it's a breakfast food now.
Love Cracker Barrel. But I admit I'm super biased. My dad was best friends with the founder and his brother. The brother especially so. He was a huge Tennessee Vols football fan. He used to have an orange stripped van that he would drive us all in. It was fitted with outside speakers and as we got near the stadium he would turn on Rocky Top and everyone outside would just go crazy. Sounds super cheesy but as a kid I thought it was amazing. I've been to a dozen games thanks to him and we ALWAYS ate at Cracker Barrel. He had some kind of gold Cracker Barrel card that he always used to pay for everyone's food. They were good people. They turned my dad on to investment opportunities and convinced my dad to put his savings into mutual funds. We owe them a lot. Their family is pretty notable around where I live. Their uncle was in the House of Representatives and his name is on so many buildings and places in my hometown. Their grandfather has a Tennessee State Park named after him.
Pro-Tip: Try the Grilled Chicken salad with sourdough croutons. To die for.

I went to Cracker Barrel a few times in Cleveland. Then I found out a guy shot his girlfriend and their two kids in the gift shop a few years ago.
From everything I know, their anti-LGBT stuff isn't as systematic as a place like Chic-fil-a or Hobby Lobby, but yeah, they have a poor track record.
i was at a barcade on Friday night here in Columbus, OH and this happened a couple dozen feet away.
Ohio.
yeah, i think you'd really have to go out of your way to be as bad as those two
Well,
When I was young I loved it. We'd always gather there with all of my family. The country setting as well as having everyone around was just so warm.
Fast-forward to my 30s, and it's underwhelming. The portions are hilariously small. I can get the same thing at Golden Corral and all I want of it as well. Last time I went to Cracker Barrel I ordered the pot roast. It looked like they decided how much would fit in an ice cream scooper then put it on the plate.

Couple thing.
Ive only ordered breakfast food from them.
Always have to wait, sometimes a line around the building.
The hashbrown casserole and peacan pancakes are good.
The gift shop is neat.
I haven't been in years.

yeah, they're much better than KFC/Popeye's in that regard. Popeye's still has better chicken though.
Sometimes for a late breakfast. Not very expensive. Usually just get a sampler that comes with several different items.
Not sure why they think they deserve a damn gift shop but the little peg puzzles on all the tables is fun.

Mamas French Toast with eggs and bacon is like under $10. Damn good deal. Though I don't like anything lunch or dinner there.
Ugh, this was us growing up. If there was a Cracker Barrel anywhere near us around meal time, my parents would stop there. I think it's one of the reasons I grew to hating the place. (Although as a kid, all the tons of candy and toys was fun.)
