Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

My friend and I met here for lunch. Wait was short which is good for this place. Our waitress was a bit spacey....she forgot to bring my friend's drink and did not know the soup or veggies of the day without looking them up.

Food was tasty. I had the Reuben sandwich with fries and my friend had a sampler platter. She ordered mashed potatoes with no gravy as a side but showed up with gravy. The waitress implied it was the kitchen's fault as she had marked no gravy. She brought a replacement.

We have been to this Cracker Barrel before and usually have good food and service. Even with the little mishaps I am sure we will go back.

I'm not going to go into a long winded explanation here but to put it mildly, this CB sucks and the staff agrees.

I ordered the meatloaf and the top of it was black, burnt, and rock hard.

After removing the inedible portion, that left me with only about half the meatloaf to eat.  Now it would have been nice to have been able to complain to someone but the only manager-looking person in the place was bussing tables and our server did a disappearing act that would have made Copperfield jealous.

She brought us our drinks and took our food order and then she was gone until she brought the check 45 minutes later.

That part about the staff agreeing is because when I went to the register to pay the cashier asked how the food was and when I told her the meatloaf story her instant answer was "It's not surprising".

When I asked her why she went on a two minute or so rant about her saying that she would never eat the CB food because it sucks and that the kitchen is highly disorganized with " a bunch of Indians and no chief".

She also said that I was not the first person to complain about the meatloaf that day and I was not even the first person to complain about it during the six o'clock hour.

So with that in mind, I'm going to chock up this CB in the never again category and I'm also going to take the necessary step to protect my colon by crossing off CB's meatloaf in the (Blap!) future and hell while I'm at it let's just cross off this microwaved banquet hall style slop completely by 86ing off the entire CB chain as this is not the first CB to lay a gastronomic egg on my plate but it is by far the worst.

We love sunday chicken dinner and saturday breakfast. Cheap eats for all that you get. Service is always friendly and the wait is reasonably most of the time.
