"We were a party of four: the hubby, my daughter, her friend, and me.\n\nI was almost dragged in by my hubby, who has been babbling about their pancakes every day since the latest advert began running.\n\nWhile I've eaten at Cracker Barrel in the past, it's not exactly on my top 10 list of places to grab a bite.\n\nMy main gripe is the seating. I do NOT like wooden chairs, the tables are small and crowded with unnecessary...stuff. The restaurant itself reminds me of a kitchen from the 18th or 19th century. But I find the store amusing.\n\nOur waitress was great. She came over right away to take our drink order and returned with them promptly. Our food arrived hot and ready to eat. She gave us extra napkins before we asked for them, offered drink refills at the right moments, etc.\n\nMy daughter and her friend shared a starch-fest of mac 'n cheese, chicken and dumplings, fries, biscuits, and baked apples. \n\nThe hubby got his much-desired pancakes (with sausage patties and scrambled eggs). He practically drooled his way through his meal.\n\nI had french toast with scrambled eggs and bacon. \n\nGreat that there were four pieces of french toast but the powdered sugar I love on french toast was absent. My eggs were scrambled hard, the way I like them but one more egg for all that french toast (or one less piece of french toast) would have been better. My bacon was just right: no visible fat, crisp, and just salty enough. I would have gotten a bacon sandwich to go but I didn't think my LDL needed any more trouble.\n\nI also had a cup of coffee. Nothing special but it was hot.\n\nHubby said the total was $31. Not a bad price for all we ordered and our service was good too. \n\nFour stars for all of the above but at the end of the day, I'd still rather eat someplace else."^^ . "2012-01-09T00:00:00"^^ .
