    The CrackerBarrel I was in a few years ago seemd to be more restaurant than store. Sadly, I didn't even own a kilt at the time.

    If you like good, old fashioned country food you'd love it. Check your arteries at the door though - it's not exactly low fat. Only place I know of in the greater Washington DC area where you can get fried chicken livers and macaroni & cheese. Yum!

    There are no Cracker Barrels in California, though there are some in Arizona

    A good way to get great service (at least in the mornings) is to ask the server it they really have Purnell's sausage (all Cracker Barrels claim to serve it, but you can'b buy it retail much farther than KY and southern IN). Still great sausage (and I'd say that even if I didn't go to school/church with some of the founder's kids).

    Worn my kilts in Cracker Barrels many times.

    Cracker Barrel, I love the place, the meatloaf is fantastic!!! We've used this chain of restaurants on trips to Tennessee and North Carolina. One year I had a great day out at the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games and my only regret was that I didn't bring my kilt. I'll certainly bring one next time I come over!
    The Kilt is my delight !

    When my then-fiancee (now wife) took me to the 'States to meet her family, we went into a CrackerBarrell so that I could "experience traditional 'southern cookin' " ... and I loved it - with the possible exception of "grits", which I still don't understand.

    My worst case of 'jonesing' has been my enforced separation from CrackerBarrell now that we've returned to Australia. However, we will always visit CB's at least once whenever we return to the US.

    Gotta love those hash-brown-potato-casserole thingies!

    cheers!!

    I find it amusing that a gent from the UK loves Crackerbarrel, while one from CA has never heard of it.

    If you're ever at CrackerBarrel for breakfast and want to have fun, order a grit, not grits, just ask for one. We do this to the new waitresses, the experianced ones are in on it as well.

    When our German foreign exchange student was here, One of the first restaurants we took her to was Cracker Barrel in Winchester, Va. She wanted every thing on the menu. We each ordered something different and shared. That fraulein drove us nuts. But she was a joy to have around for the school year.
