Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

Up until a few months ago, I thought this was just the place where grandparents went to socialize with other people their age. I had no idea how great the food was until my dad asked us to go to breakfast as a family and my mind was blown. I'm glad I discovered it because it's become my favorite breakfast spot and I'm officially a regular.

I haven't tried their lunch or dinner menus yet, only their breakfast menu. My favorite meal is the Country Boy breakfast. It has a steak, hashbrown casserole, apples and eggs. The first time I got it, I assumed it would be rubbery or low quality and my expectations were low. BUT The steak is always so juicy & melt-in-your-mouth tender. However, I've ordered it medium well, and they still undercook it. I still eat it though.and love every bite of it. The servers are always so friendly and if you tell them what you want, they'll tell you the cheapest way to order it. I love that they're not just trying to take all of your money.

The store is fun to peruse while you wait and oh, yes if you come on the weekends, there WILL be a wait. They have lots of Burts Bees products and Yankee candles and other fun stuff that you like but don't really need. A great place to get some last minute Christmas gifts or even a cute "I saw this and thought of you" present.

Absolutely love this place. It's the closest to a home cooked meal that I've been able to find while dining out.  I can't leave here without having at least one order of the hashbrown casserole, whether it is breakfast or dinner.  

During the breakfast time, it is crowded with some wait time, but it just gives you time to browse the store.  

For two people we usually walk out with a bill $25 or under.

You'll always leave here full. And the shop has so many things to look at, you forget your in K3 and feel like your down south somewhere.
