| - I'd seen a few Cracker Barrels while traveling across the I-40 and was very curious to see what they served. When I finally got settled in Charlotte, I decided, it's high time I check out a Cracker Barrel! So I did. The decor was just how I'd imagine it, real kitschy. We were seated immediately and brought a plate of bread before we ordered. Awesome. We placed our orders and right before our entrees came two different waiters came by with more bread. At this point, we had 3 plates of bread on our table. A little ridiculous. The biscuits were good but the corn biscuit or whatever tasted funny, maybe I'm just not accustomed to that taste. Anyway, our server was friendly and good about getting our food out in a timely manner, but super slow in bringing us the check. The food itself was typical Southern fare and most of the it was rather enjoyable. I had the catfish platter, which was a bit too oily for my liking. But the sides were in general very tasty. Although, the Fried Apples just looked like canned pie filling. I think I enjoyed the little game they had at the table the most.
This is just one of those places you go, just to say you've been. At least for this city slicker. If I come more often, I know one of my arteries will harden over.
