I've been to Cracker Barrels all over the country. They're not THE BEST, but they're consistent. I know the menu. I know the service. I know the store.
The last visit I ordered the fried shrimp and I was pleasantly surprised. This did not seem like the regular fried shrimp you get anywhere else. It was seasoned and pretty delicious. It also came with three hushpuppies. I don't usually like hushpuppies, but these were good. Did I mention yet that I also got three sides? Whoa! Lots of food.
I have to admit, though, that CB is not my favorite place to go. I don't want to know about the calorie or fat intake here. But DD loves getting a single pancake with fried apples on top... and I don't blame her.
I know a lot of people don't like their biscuits, but they are one of my favorite parts of eating here. Just a half biscuit (or three) with a little blackberry jam could make me completely satisfied for days. Okay, I exaggerate. But I love their biscuits. Please don't tell me how fattening they are. I don't care!
The only thing I don't understand is: why aren't there omelets on the breakfast menu?!
P.S. The turkey sausage is quite good. I don't eat pork, so maybe I am not the best judge, but even DH likes their turkey sausage.
