Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

Nothing special about this place; just decent comfort food like at any of their other locations.

Found myself here four days out of five during my visit in Lafayette.  Wouldn't say their food is exactly earth-shatteringly memorable, though miles apart from the ex-con prepped rubbish they serve at Denny's and just slightly above Marie Calendars, and that's not saying much.  Very amused by the rocking chair-lined porch and the attached Knotts Berry Farm-like store.

Where have you been all my life Cracker Barrel? Yummy fluffy pancakes, great prices, and the coolest store ever!

I came here with a party of 9; some who were super excited to come here - and some who weren't. I was excited to try something new, and I loved the theme of this place. Chill, country, and family-style.

Breakfast was on the menu; as lunch does not start until 11. I went with the pancake meal which came with syrup in cute little individual bottles (one made it into my purse. . . shhhhh!). Tyler had biscuits and gravy, and the rest of the table had a plethora of hashbrowns, sausages, and grits.

Service was good - she handled our party of 9 well. Including a super cute but super picky little 2 year old and someone spilling ice tea everywhere.

The gift shop is another section by itself. They had the coolest halloween eyeball salt and pepper shakers. $1.29 each!! So cool! There was a variety of awesome knick-knacks that I didn't need but definitely  wanted and staff were informative and kind.
