Agreed Cracker Barrel food is NOTHING to write home about, anyone who thinks what they serve is “down home southern cooking” has never ever in their life had down home southern cooking, and it is grotesquely overpriced.
Same with Olive Garden, everything they sell is simply reheated in a microwave, and it grotesquely overpriced for what it is.
I took my family of 4 to Olive Garden for dinner 4 years ago or more now, Myself and my daughter only had soup and salad, my wife and my other daughter had something off the kids menu and an entree.... With tip the bill was over $70.
A kids meal, 2 soups and salads, and 1 entree...
I’ve noticed the Cracker Barrel here isn’t nearly as busy as it used to be. I think it’s a combination of them pricing themselves out of their market and people catching on to the lackluster food.
I’ve actually seen their parking lot nearly empty on a weekend. If you lose the weekend traffic you’re in deep doo doo.
