Lunch today was my first time at the Cracker Barrel, and probably my last. I had their combination plate, featuring a slice of ham, chicken and dumplings, and meatloaf. The meatloaf was good, the ham OK, and the dumplings a strangely gelatenous texture. Cut up white chicken accompanied the dumplings. In their defense, one of my dining companions said her mom used to make them the same way, but I like my dumplings light and fluffy. Nothing was served hot, barely past warm. No beer and wine offered at all, but I was there for lunch, so not a big deal. The service was great, and everyone friendly, which is why I bumped up the rating from a 2 to a 3. I guess it's a good value for the money though (my plate was around $8 or $9), if you're not too picky about your food.
