  Maybe it was because I forgot to ask for Majesta--the best waitress ever.
  
  Today's trip to Cracker Barrel was disappointing.  Service was slow.  Our food arrived at room temperature.  I had to send it back to get warmed up as did my wife.  My son's was quite hot, so I guess the problem was ours got done first and we had to wait for his.
  
  They were not using the fireplace yet.  Guess it has not been cold enough yet.  Or maybe they just have an aversion to heat right now.

  Cracker Barrel is a place I don't think about going very often.  It conjures up a picture of elderly folks strolling around the restaurant.  However, when I do end up here, the food is always excellent.  The have "down home cookin" meals that are very tasty.
  
  If you happen to show up at a busy time and have to wait for a seat, you can kill some time in the craft store.  They offer candy, clothing, toys and other various crafts.

  Like Emily H., this was my first experience at a Cracker Barrel.  I wasn't that impressed with the food and didn't go back in the 5 weeks I was in the area, within walking distance of the place.  The biscuits and gravy were no more than mediocre and cost more than I've paid for much better.
  
  I liked the "Country Store" with all the unique stuff,  though most of it was more than I wanted to pay.  Okay, so I'm cheap.  I did buy a really pretty purple glittery small melamine plate to use in the motel for leftovers and snacks and it was only $2.
  
  What I DID like best was that they carry a wide variety of Audio Books, though only on CD, no cassettes, and I listened to 4 or 5 books in the car while driving around and in the room nights and while I was doing other things in the mornings.  They are only $3.50/week and you can check them out at one location and return them to any location you are near, though I only visited the one.near me.  What a perfect idea for travelers!  
  
  And since it was August and Sept while I was in the area, they had a lot of darling costumes for kids that were fun to look at.

  This was my first visit to what turns out to be a giant chain of "country stores" and restaurants.  Who knew??  I'm putting in an official protest as of this moment that there are no Cracker Barrels in California.  
  
  Sure, maybe they wouldn't "work", whatever that means, in a great many parts of the state, but hello?  Fresno?  Bakersfield?  They could totally support a restaurant that serves grits.  There really should be a grits purveyor somewhere on I5 to break up the monotony and enduring badness of Dairy Queen.
  
  This morning, for breakfast, I had the "smokehouse", which is two eggs, a mound of bacon, two giant biscuits a big vat of gravy and a glop of grits.  Two words, "more" and "please".    Three plus hours later it is forming an adobe brick in my stomach.  
  
  The real draw to Cracker Barrel isn't really the food anyway.  It's the shop, the country kitsch.  We came away with several stocking stuffers and two of the Peg game that they keep on each of the tables in the restaurant to alleviate the 45 minute wait for your meal.
  
  I see some unhealthy competition ahead.
