Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

I came here on a Monday night for a late dinner. It was my first time ever at a Cracker Barrel, and I had a great experience. It was after 8 PM, so it was not crowded at all. Our waitress was really nice, and she made a few recommendations, one of which was not actually on the menu (Grandma's Sampler), so I decided to try it.

The maple pancakes were amazing. My friend normally doesn't like sweet dishes like pancakes, but he couldn't get enough of these. I also tried my friend's order, and I really liked the mac & cheese and the hashbrown casserole.

The manager later came and gave us a bag of treats since it was our first time there. That definitely added a nice touch to my experience. I would definitely recommend this place. It's obviously not a fancy restaurant or anything, but it is a great place to go if you are just looking for casual dining.

About this place. It is a walk thru the store into a restaurant. Always crowd. It makes me dizzy.  
This time they were so busy (Sunday morning), we ended up waiting for 15 minutes. My family waited inside. But I went outside because of a low light and many moving people made my very dizzy.

Here are expensive snacks. Cashier did not know how to cancel transaction.
But there are really tasty canned and home made food for sale.

The restaurant has nice decor inside and outside, like in 1920-1950th.

The food was OK. But not what I usually eat in the morning. The portions of sausage  patties were small. like a silver dollar. :) The gravy was not tasty or salty at all. Biscuits were OK, but I prefer these be baked longer.
I also had a fried apple. Be ready that they are very sweet.
I went there just because of my family, otherwise I am not going to be back. The menu is for people who like farm food from twenties or so.
The service was Good though.

Went for lunch, service was slow and everyone was old in there. To me that usually a bad sign, kind of like going to Home Town Buffet or something(never go there unless you like to eat slop).

I waited forever to get food and ended up being late back from lunch for work. I ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger and to my surprise they only had half pound burgers. No frickin wonder us Americans are so damn fat and overweight. Who eats a half pound? I guess everyone but me.
I don't usually eat a full slab of cattle for lunch cause "brotha man" gets sleepy eating all that beef at once. I was surprised the didn't have 1/3lb burger or something. I looked at the breakfast menu and they didn't even had a waffle on it! WTF!!!

Anyway, I know a lot of people like Cracker Barrel but the only thing good there is the candy in the front store. You can find some old school candy there but that's about it.

By the way...I've been to other Cracker Barrels and it was the same thing there too. I just decided enough was enough and I needed to write a review bout this
