Howdy Geyser- good to see u- glad you've come back!

I boycotted Cracker Barrel for years because they had some attitudes & practices that I disagreed with strongly. But after many years- I read an article about significant changes they incorporated and that healed my wounds.

And this is good- 'cause CB is a fantastic place! Not only is their homestyle grub tasty but I love the unique goods in their general store!

I'm grateful they "saw the light", 'cause change was definitely necessary for them- and now they're among my FAV places to spend my time and money!

I'm with you Kev, I love CB (now) the store always offers new items and their food is good, especially on trips when I'm scared to venture too far from the Interstate. I can eat Breakfast anytime and Josh can have his choice of "normal" food as he calls it. So it makes both of us happy.
