  One thing about Cracker Barrel is that the food is great!  If you like southern cooking, you are going to love CB.  However, I have to order the larger meals because I prefer that the food cover the plate.  Cracker Barrel has become so popular, you can get good country food anywhere in the south.  The service here is mediocre, every now and then you get a good waiter or waitress but service can be choppy and slow.  If you don't like eating with other people, you may be surprised how close the seating arrangements are.  Most of your neighbors are less than an arms length away.

        From pinto beans and cornbread, to chefs salad, to roast beef and mashed potatoes, CB has it all.  Opt for the southern cornbread muffins, the biscuits must be frozen or something, 'cause anybody can make 'em better than CB.  Desserts are good and often, there is always plenty of room for them after your meal.

        At peak hours, expect to wait in line or browse the old country store, often the wait is quick until you get inside.  I can say that CB has a good breakfast, everything from pancakes, waffles, to country cured ham.  Visit often, expect a wait and then another wait once seated.  There is no other chain restaurant that competes directly with CB, they are in a class, Southern Class, that no other restaurant rivals.
