First ever visit at Cracker Barrel. I was not impressed. |
|
My FIL wanted to go there for his b-day. Now, I've never been to Cracker Barrel, as I remember their anti-gay stance back in the 90's (has it changed? I have no idea), but when it's your FIL's choice, what do you do?
I'm not sure what I expected, but I expected better food!! Canned vegetables? Meat by-products in the cornbread? (I'm assuming this means that they are made with LARD?!?!?)
:puke:
I understand that this place inspires devotion in some people, but after yesterday's visit, I sure can't see why.

2. I don't get it, either.... |
|
Home cooking? I can honestly say that if my Mom or Grandmother had cooked THAT poorly I would have starved to death as a child. Unfortunately, I do end up there from time to time, and the service is just pathetic. Or maybe that's just the way they express their anti-gay stance now.......

3. When "Chicken Fried Chicken" is a "Fancy Fixin'" |
|
I don't think that "Impress" is what they're going for.
I had breakfast there once a LOOOOOONG time ago. It was good. One of those kinds where you know everything is somehow coated in lard. You couldn't eat it often, but once in a while it was just sinful.

4. I ate there when my local one opened ... |
|
I have to say, it was one of the most delicious meals I've ever eaten. I think I had teriyaki chicken with some sides, and this brownie crumble thing for dessert.
I'm sure it was unimaginably horrible from a nutritional standpoint, but damn, it was good.

6. There was definitely no Teriyaki chicken on the menu at this one |
|
It was all stuff like pot roast and (as mentioned above) "Chicken fried chicken."
Eyeballing what our party of 7 ordered, everything looked way overcooked and soaked in grease.
It was just gross.

I ate there once as a vegetarian and the meal included their cooked apples. Found out later they cook those apples in bacon grease.
What a disgusting place.
