How can you go wrong with Cracker Barrel -- I always go to these restaurants when I'm traveling or doing some sort of physical activity that requires some travel.
Hands down some of the best pancakes I've had and that's saying a lot - wink! I usually don't eat pancakes, but sometimes you just gotta carb load. If I'm not mistaken they make and bottle their own maple syrup. Served warm this combination of the goowy sticky syrup and pancakes is music to my palate!
Along with pancakes I order their Eggs in a Hole - over easy of course. Yummy ooze of egg yolk flows through my hash browns and the crispy bacon! Mmmmm...I can't wait for the next trip. Might just have to go somewhere so I can go to Cracker Barrel!
Overall, the service here is always excellent. The place is built like some old cabin with some Midwest flare -- We ain't in Kansas!? They sell really random things in their store front from shirts, candles, stuffed animals and books....I get confused, but maybe I just need another cup of Joe. - Enjoy!
