Times are tough right now in the ‘egg game,’ whatever that is, because of this pesky bird flu. You heard of it? It's been going around for a while now, and really putting a dent in our livestock.
I assume it will be a raging pandemic at some point relatively soon that the left drums up to be the start of the apocalypse, but, you know, we'll see. For now, though, it's mainly impacting chickens. Which affects our eggs.
Which, in turn, affects our great food establishments across this great country.
Waffle House, earlier this week, announced a 50-cent surcharge on eggs because they're so damn expensive right now. Nasty move, but I get it. You gotta do whatcha gotta do.
Unless you're Cracker Barrel – AKA the GOAT of the breakfast game in America. Cracker Barrel would never pull such a move. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever.
Cracker Barrel has drawn a line in the sand My GOD. What a post. What a shot. What a restaurant.
"Egg surcharges? Never heard ot it. Order eggs and get double the pegs now through next Wednesday 2/12"
Hey, Waffle House – PISS OFF. Cracker Barrel proves, once again, why it was always be on top of the mountain in this business.
Now, am I a bit biased? Sure. I'm the unofficial (official) Cracker Barrel guy here at OutKick. Love this place more than I love my two kids. I grew up getting fat at the Cracker Barrel, and, while I don't get there as often nowadays, I still defend her to the death.
Great rocking chairs, great gifts if you like old country CDs and vintage candy – and who doesn't? – and great food. Sunrise sampler? Elite. The pancakes? Better the IHOP. The eggs? Well, come on. Clearly better than woke Waffle House!
And hey, now you get double the pegs with every egg order! For those who don't understand Cracker Barrel lingo, it's just their reward system. Yes, I'm confused by it, too. Yes, I also thought it was the sexual term at first. It is not. No worries!
Anyway, there's a war breaking out in the food & beverage game, and Cracker Barrel has drawn a line in the sand.
Pick your fighter, America.
Yea. Cracker Barrel is great if you don’t mind slowwwwww service. Waffle House service is fast and food prep is done right in front of you.
I support Team Waffle House.
I like both but most Waffle Houses I’ve seen are always in sketchy locations. We don’t have a WH close to us, but when we travel, we will stop at one if we can find it.
I can honestly say that I’ve never been to a Waffle House, and they’re all around me.
I’ve had both and much prefer Waffle House. It’s made in front of you, it’s good and quick. Cracker Barrel at one time was worthy of the wait but the last few times I have eaten there it’s been microwaved garbage and horrible service to boot.
Cracker Barrel would do better to cut down their menu size, concentrate of food quality, consistence and better service. It’s going to die by it’s own hand.
I like Cracker Barrel, but my business with them has dropped at least 90% since they overtly and strongly supported Pride Month including Pride rocking chairs.
Thru 2/12?! Then what?
Cracker Barrel also has stale food. Nasty buffet style stale food.
NEVER stop at a Waffle House on a road trip at an interstate exit, or in a neighborhood you don't know, or near a mall.
My opinion is if you like Waffle House, bring 4 extra quarters and get your eggs

The science behind the recent exterminations of chickens due to bird flu needs to be evaluated by a neutral and competent panel, i.e., no DEI or participation of anti-meat fanatics.
Cracker Barrel for the win! Alas, Hawaii has none.
We could remedy the bird Flu of we put the chickens on lockdown, make them wear masks and social distance for TWO weeks to flatten the curve don’t cha know!
One thing I totally agree with in this article is that Cracker Barrel has far superior pancakes to IHOP. I swear IHOP pancakes seem like frozen pre-made ones heated up.
I remember cracker barrel going woke recently, but when and how did waffle house?
They mean double pegs (rewards points) through 2/12. I don’t think they mean the price.
That is such an incredible album cover.
This person has obviously not been to a cracker barrel lately. They keep changing the menu and reducing the portion sizes, and now serve beer and wine. I want my old cracker barrel back.
First time my wife went to a Waffle House was when we were driving from Houston to Lake Charles while on vacation. Off the freeway. She had never had grits. She got shrimp and grits. She loves them.
