Family chose Cracker Barrel, as no one wanted to drive around town on the eve of Thanksgiving\". I also told him it was as mediocre as I remembered, from my last visit to one of their locations in Arizona. \n\nNot to say the customer service wasn't good - because it was. Our server was very attentive but a little robotic, which was okay because she wasn't fake. It was as if she was following a script, with her questions and routine as she managed or served her station or tables. \n\nHowever, the food was borderline okay. I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak, with Macaroni & Cheese and Fried Okra. The Okra was tasteless. I should have asked for something to dip the pieces in for flavor, however, I just didn't bother. The Macaroni & Cheese was just plain and okay. I must be used to different variations which gives a different mix of flavors because the plain version just didn't hit the spot. The Chicken Fried Steak was a little on the bland side which was remedied with a little salt and pepper. The chicken was a little on the tough or chewy side but not to the point of returning my order. Sad to say, I enjoyed the side of Broccoli the most. Nothing to mess up as it was either steamed or boiled - not quite sure which nor did I care because it was fine either way. \n\nAnyway - it was years since my last visit to one of these locations and I won't be surprised if it's another few years before I return. I wasn't blown away with the food though I will say it wasn't awful. It just wasn't my cup of tea."^^ .
