| - I don't often write about chain restaurants. And perhaps this is the reason why... I was disappointed with my most recent visit to the Cracker Barrel in Goodyear. Normally, this location and the several other I've been to, deliver a very satisfying meal and experience. They must have been off this past Tuesday.
When me and my girlfriend walked in, we waited a fairly long time for anyone to seat us. The front cashier noticed us waiting and I heard them page someone. Still we waited. I started to search the dining room for a server when someone came out and told us they didn't have a host that night. Okay, not a big deal. I'm fairly patient.
Our server was very nice. His name was Jesus and he did his job well. Things were going smoothly and then the food was delivered. My girlfriend enjoyed her usual meatloaf, which I also tasted, so I know her food was decently warm. However, my Fried Catfish and the sides were barely room temperature. It still tasted okay and I was hungry, so I didn't complain. I've never wished to have a table side microwave to zap my meal, but it would've been handy.
Like I said, I figure they must have been short handed in the front and back of the house. Otherwise, I will continue to patronize Cracker Barrel, because their comfort food is generally top notch. Especially their Fried Chicken special on Sundays. I'll update this review after the next visit.
