Why does Cracker Barrell continue to survive? I just don't get it. Everything they serve is overpriced and greasy-really greasy. You get the extra bonus of waiting ten to fifteen minutes in the faux country store before you are seated (personally, I think you can probably find a seat right away, but they want you to buy their gear-so why not have you spend time in their shop?). Nothing like waiting to sit down in a country store designed to appeal to the young or senile, get seated, get a grease covered menu, order your food, wait another half hour-see your waiter or waitress maybe once after the food arrives (refills anyone?) and then paying 25% more than you should for an artery clogging meal. Way to go San Antonio. You've done it again. Cracker Barrell shouldn't even receive double digit percentages in this poll.

yummy

The food is plain and simple-great home cooking style. I love their breakfasts. I usually get the eggs,bacon,grits, biscuits with cream gravy. You never leave hungry. They have their own brand of bacon-its not too salty, & not greasy. Eggs are always done to order, the grits are creamy and not lumpy, and oh, their hot biscuits and gravy, a southerners' delight. For lunch, the meatloaf and mashed potatoes can't be beat. The meatloaf has a tomato sauce spooned over the top of it & the mashed potatoes are creamy and a hint of garlic. Their daily specials are a real bargain and a good selection. This is your down home atmosphere, very family oriented. But, don't expect to see everyone in undershirts and flip-flops. Usually, there are the locals as well as tourists there. Most are dressed casual, but neat. Not a romantic place. But on cold, wintery days, the huge, expansive rock fireplace is going strong, making it a very 'homey' atmosphere. Reminds me of a ski lodge. Prices are reasonable, and worth it. The average cost of an entree is apx. $7-$10. 3-4 times a week. Apx. $30.00
