We
paid
our
recent
First
Visit
to
this
Cracker
Barrel
and
had
a
mostly
great
time.
We
decided
to
go
on
Sunday
morning
so
we
kinda
knew
we
were
in
for
chaos,
but
we
braced
for
it.
Cracker
Barrel
follows
the
same
concept
as
Las
Vegas
hotels.
In
order
to
get
to
the
good
part
(the
food,
or
in
Vegas's
case,
the
hotel/shops/etc)
you
have
go
through
the
money
making
part
(the
Old
Country
Store
or,
in
Vegas's
case,
the
casino).
It
makes
me
wonder
what
came
first,
the
store
or
the
restaurant.
No
matter,
it's
all
a
part
of
the
Cracker
Barrel
experience.
Once
we
(forcibly)
made
our
way
through
people
meandering
through
the
store
to
get
to
the
hostess
stand
we
were
able
to
get
on
the
list.
A
15
minute
wait
isn't
bad,
so
we
did
a
little
shopping.
The
Cracker
Barrel
merchandisers
are
next-level
in
their
skills
because
there
is,
quite
literally,
more
stuff
in
this
store
than
there
is
space
in
this
store.
From
Holiday
merchandise
to
clothing
to
toys
to
music
(vinyl,
even!)
to
stuffed
animals,
they
pack
A
LOT
of
stuff
in
this
retail
space.
My
favorite,
though,
is
the
old-time
candy
and
soft
drink
area.
Here
they
boast
of
a
number
of
candies
that
I
haven't
seen
since
childhood
(or,
at
least,
since
my
last
visit
to
a
Cracker
Barrel).
Right
next
to
that
is
the
beauty
that
is
glass-bottle
soft
drinks.
In
this
day
of
plastic
pop
bottles
and
12-oz
cans,
NOTHING
compares
to
a
soft
drink
in
a
glass
bottle.
Spotting
Vernor's
in
a
glass
bottle
was
a
HUGE
score.
I'm
from
Michigan
and,
even
though
we
haven't
live
in
MI
since
2011,
still
seek
out
Vernor's
(although
it's
in
the
dreaded
12-oz
can)
and
have
it
every
week.
After
about
10
minutes
of
shopping
we
were
called
for
a
table...and
then
it
felt
like
we
were
forgotten.
The
staff
all
around
us
was
constantly
in
motion,
but
no
one
paid
us
any
mind
until
close
to
15
minutes
after
we
were
seated.
I
had
just
told
my
wife
that
I
wasn't
planning
on
waiting
much
longer
when
our
server
showed
up.
Her
name
was
Tammy
and
you
could
tell
she
was
running
around
like
crazy.
We
had
had
plenty
of
time
to
look
at
the
menu
so
we
placed
our
drink
orders
and
our
meal
orders
at
the
same
time.
What
I
wanted
when
I
walked
in
was
lunch
(we
were
given
breakfast
menus),
but
something
on
the
menu
caught
my
eye.
Pancake
Tacos.
Yes,
Pancake
Tacos.
Ok,
so
much
for
ordering
off
the
lunch
menu.
Fried
eggs,
bacon,
and
cheese
inside
a
Cracker
Barrel
pancake?

After
placing
our
orders
she
brought
out
those
appetite-killing
biscuits.
You
know,
the
ones
you
know
should
only
eat
one
of,
but
you
eat
two
because
you're
hungry
and
then
you
can't
finish
your
meal
because
you
ate
that
second
biscuit?
Those.
And
they
are
SO
freakin'
good.
When
our
food
arrived
it
was
hot
and
perfect.
Wifey
had
the
hashbrown
casserole
and
I
had
the
Pancake
Tacos
(which
are
so
good
they
should
always
be
capitalized).
Deliciousness
Ensued.
however...HOWEVER...those
biscuits
did
me
in.
Alas,
I
could
only
eat
one
of
my
Pancake
Tacos.
It's
rare,
but
I
had
to
get
a
to-go
box.
Wifey
did
as
well.
(side
note:
they
both
reheat
well
for
brekkie
the
next
day).
It's
a
safe
bet
that
each
and
every
staff
member
at
this
(and
probably
all
other)
locations
gets
their
step
goal
every
day.
The
entire
team
was
constantly
hustling
and
making
sure
table
were
cleaned,
items
were
stocked,
refills
were
refilled,
and
customers
had
a
great
experience.
On
the
way
out
we
purchased
several
bottles
of
Vernor's
(in
the
glass
bottle,
of
course)
and
a
box
of
their
biscuit
mix.
I
really
should
make
a
visit
to
Cracker
Barrel
more
regularly,
but
for
now
I'm
all
set.
Besides,
it's
been
4
days
and
I'm
still
full
from
that
second
biscuit.
