Born and raised in Nashville, Cracker Barrel was always around, and was “good”. Now I live in Washington state, and the nearest one was about 20 minutes away just over the bridge in Oregon. I went as often as I could because it reminded me of home. Then they announced that they were closing all the Oregon locations. (Portland because of the crime, and other BS, and the one down south because Oregon just sucks to do business in). A couple of years ago we went to Boise for a weekend trip, went to CB there. A little over a year ago we went to Vegas, went to CB there.
I assume that’s my new pattern. “If you go someplace that has a CB, eat there”.
Now, all that being said, I am just a breakfast eater there. The lunch/dinner is hit or miss. (Turnip greens and pinto beans are good though). And this after they removed my favorite breakfast combo plate that I had been eating since the 80’s. Bastages. Turned it into something more like a Chinese restaurant with “Column A”, and “Column B”. Pushed me back to the country boy breakfast.
Rant over.
I always had the Uncle Hershel’s. They dont have it any longer? The Old Timers is good.
Oh, the one in Frankin near me is still good.
