Cracker Barrel: All it's cracked up to be?

[D-Dogg]

All this talk about breakfast foods like B&G and CFS got me hungry and the first place I thought of was Cracker Barrel.

I always get this one:

Grandpa’s Country Fried Breakfast

Two Eggs cooked to order with Grits, Sawmill Gravy and Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits, real Butter and the best Preserves, Jam n’ Apple Butter (on request) we could find.

~plus~

Fried Apples or Hashbrown Casserole

~and~

Chicken Fried Chicken or Country Fried Steak

That way I get my CF and the B&G on one plate.

I get Mama's French Toast. In fact, I went there last night with a friend of mine who is also a big breakfast fan.

 

[Mathew81]

I love breakfast food!

Way too southern-type cooking for my tastes.

Food is WAY overrated!

I don'y know if I'm proud to say or sad but I've never been to Cracker Barrel.

 

[Jersey Girl]

Almost everything is cooked with some sort of meat drippings. Not a good place for a vegetarian (though their pancakes rock)!

 

[Shane]

Now the Golden Corral that place is the Shiot!

Yes i do realize they arent even in the same class or category of restaurant.

 

[D-Dogg]

I worked at the Golden Corral. Briefly. Boss was a *******. My wife (then girlfriend) also worked there.

I was banned from GC for busting the dude's chops daily...he was a freaking idiot monkey bitch...he used to play basketball with us in the morning...hairy little white dude who thought he was Michael Jordan.

But hey, the food there is pretty good.

Thats some funny stuff right there.

Yeah, I used to foul the living crap out of him. We (me and a couple of people who also worked there) would run him off the hardest screens and drop him all the time. You don't know stress relief until you can knock your worst boss ever on his ass without any repurcussions.

He also made a move on my girlfriend (who was 17 at the time) and other innappropriate things. He's now a struggling insurance agent or something in that s-hole town we grew up in. Last laugh? Moi.

My wife and I drive nearly 300 miles to go shopping at a Macy's and yet we get excited at the notion of breakfasting at the Cracker Barrel.

What a boring life we lead.

 

[Louis]

For you breakfast afficianados that reside in the valley area...

Try Matt's Big Breakfast. It was featured on Guy's Diners, Dives, and Drive-Ins and the place looks incredible.

It's in Phoenix IIRC.

Food is WAY overrated!

Dead on. Id take waffle house over that cracker barrel, purporting to be authentic low country cooking, tasteless greasy garbage ANY day of the week. At least Waffle House aint a wolf in sheeps clothing.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

After working at Cracker Barrel for about 5 months while my ex was pregnant with my son, I have mixed feelings about Cracker Barrel.

I agree with schutd on Waffle House over Cracker Barrel.

 

[Louis]

I've never been in a Cracker Barrell and thought the staff/customers looked like methheads.

I have seen junky staff/customers at the Waffle House.

Plus there is nothing like playing that stupid peg game a billion hands have touched and then eating your food without washing your hands first.

Waffle House fricken rules!

Before we go to the zoo on Saturday, we are going out to eat breakfast. I hope it is at Waffle House.

I was a Cracker Barrel until I read about they are "Pro Vegetables, But There Are No Fruits Allowed". If you are not sure what I mean by that, check this out.

PS That was a headline I remember reading a few years ago.

I get it now. I thought you meant food in general is overrated. Those are fighting words.
