| - I've never been a huge fan of the lunch and dinner menu at Cracker Barrel aside from a couple of their salads which come with those yummy little CB cheese wedges. I am a fan of their breakfast menu and luckily they serve breakfast all day, so I can have pancakes and hash brown casserole for dinner if that's what I'm feeling like. Parking is a bit odd at this location, but there's plenty of it and naturally they have all that pricey wicker on the front porch that you'll probably walk by on your way inside. Like most Cracker Barrel's, you enter in the gift shop area and wait to be seated. The gift shop has old time candies, country style home decor and other novelty items. The servers have been nice and attentive and the cashiers in the gift shop have been friendly and good about moving the long along quickly (you pay your bill in the gift shop).
Coffee ($2.39 free refills) - Simple cup of coffee that's tasty and there's usually someone walking around with a tray of coffee and water topping off cups.
Sunrise Sampler ($10.68 with the addition of cheese on the scrambled eggs) - Two eggs cooked to order, biscuits and gravy, grits, fried apples, hash brown casserole, sausage, bacon and country ham. Phew! Yep, the sampler comes with all that! This is my favorite thing to order. They give you a choice between 2 types of ham and I always choose the sugar ham, it's delicious. Their bacon is tasty, but I don't personally care for sausage patties and that's what comes with this, so it goes to my hubby who happily eats it. One thing on the menu I have to order every time is their hash brown casserole, it's just very good and sometimes I order an extra side of it because I have no shame and it's damn good. You can also request apple butter for your biscuits with this breakfast at no additional charge.
Momma's French Toast Breakfast ($9.19) - This comes with four slices of sourdough french toast with choice of fruit topping and your choice of either sausage or bacon. I love that this french toast is a different from the usual since it's made with sourdough bread. The slices were fluffy and a different texture than I am used to with french toast, but it was delicious and I'd order them again. I asked for apples as my fruit option because I know they use their fried apples and I love those. The syrup is 100% maple and very tasty! Even though the menu says you choose from fruit topping or syrup, you can still ask for both and get charged the same. The syrup comes in cute little Cracker Barrel glass jars.
Speaking of the Cracker Barrel 100% maple syrup, you can buy a regular size bottle (current price $4.99) in the gift shop. I stopped by just before Christmas to pick up some of their pancake mix and syrup and both were sold out. Around the holidays those couple of items can be hard to find, but are usually regularly stocked and I did find some with no problem after Christmas.
