Old Timer's Breakfast - $5.99
Two eggs, scrambled, with sharp cheddar cheese Three strips of thick cut bacon Hashbrown casserole (MMM-mmm!) A small bowl of grits (I'm not a big fan of grits, but with honey added they can be pretty tasty) Two buttermilk biscuits, to be split and covered with gravy A small bowl of breakfast gravy, to be scooped out onto the biscuits Butter and jam/preserves if you prefer vs the gravy Endlessly refilled cup of coffee with cream I treat myself to this breakfast about every other Sunday. MMM-mmmm!

Cracker Barrel is some good eats.
IMHO, the original, old school hashbrown casserole recipe was much better. |

We just opened one in my town.
The first time it was slow service every one was new. Yesterday after church the food just sucked! I've been to a few hundred different better ones (I travel alot) I guess it will get better. |

OK, help me out here. Being born in the west and having moved to Ohio as a youngster, I was never raised with grits. What canon am I violating by adding honey? What is proper regarding grits? |

Sunrise Sampler for me, with extra hashbrown casserole in place of the eggs or, if my wife's with me, the eggs on a separate plate for her (I don't eat eggs).

Depends on state/region. In 'Bama, it's usually just butter, salt, and pepper... add cheese for a real treat. But IMHO, they're your grits and I ain't gonna tell you how to eat 'em!  (I will, however, give you the stink-eye for drinking unsweetened tea... )

I usually order a side of fried apples, eat the apples, and then put the left over glaze in my grits. It's pretty damn good. A little butter is good too. |

Hey it's your grits, but I just go with salt, pepper and butter. maybe an overeasy egg on top  In the Army, I would see people eat them with milk and sugar. |

Country Boy Breakfast for me! I love a big breakfast. Then I taper off what I eat for the rest of the day.
But, the neares CB is 3.5 hours away. BTW, the best CB I ever ate at was in Kerrville, TX. |

OK, I'll try the salt/pepper/butter routine next time. Thanks for setting me straight. Now if I'm ever in Alabama I won't have people around me recoiling in disgust as I pour honey onto my grits.

I thought grits were basically pin oats or cream of wheatish type grain cereal. Therefore, what the heck is wrong with putting honey on them? How about some brown sugar maybe?

Now why in the world would you want to ruin perfectly good grits with something like honey?
 Just kidding, I know you Yankees don't know any better! Actually, I may have to try that honey thing one of these days, if I can make myself do it. ETA: When I was at Camp Lejeune I saw guys eat grits all kinds of ways. I would put onions, jalapenos and cheese in mine sometimes if it was available. |

Momma's Pancake Breakfast...with Blueberry cakes. Bacon well done...or sometimes sausage. Eggs medium.
Hashbrown casserole on the side. Large OJ. Coffee. A REAL gutbuster.

Grits! You can't eat grits without some extra dark molasses to put on them. My grandma used to fix us grandkids grits with chopped bacon mixed up in them, put an over easy egg on top of that, salt and pepper and couple of table spoons of extra dark molasses to top it all off. Yummmmmmy!

When I was down south, I wasn't sure about all the desegragation all you know the Crowe laws and stuff. So, just to be safe, I ate all my meals at the Cracker barrel.

When the first Cracker Barrel opened in 1969 Jim Crow laws were a thing of the past, even here in the Deep South... ... but nice Southerner-stereotyping and race-baiting.

Like you, I've been to Cracker Barrels all over the country. One night I ate at the CB on the east side of Indianapolis and got served lukewarm roast beef. This was back in the day when fast food places were getting bad publicity for making people sick with less than fully cooked meat. Anyway, when I paid my bill the affirmative action clerk who took my money chucked when I told her about the temperature of the beef. She said, "Oh, guess we'll have to do something about that," and chuckled some more. That really pissed me off. As soon as I got into the car I wrote down the name on her name tag including other pertinent details. Back at my office I sent a detailed complaint letter to Cracker Barrel HQ. Within a week I received a nice reply from CB including a voucher for $30. My meal, including tip, hadn't been more than ten bucks. |

I eat my grits with sugar and butter. I've been told that's unusual for a Born-And-Raised Southerner, but that's how my parents (also BAR-Southerners) eat them, so that's how I learned to eat them. Oh well.

I used to love the Baked Country Breakfast, basically a big ham, egg, and cheese omlette or soufle. You had to get there early, because they only made so many first thing, and when they were gone, they were gone.Then they switched it from country ham to "city" sugar cured ham. Then it disappeared altogether.
Now it is the Sunrise Sampler. |

I'll have to respectfully disagree with you. I've been eating at CBs all over the South when travelling for as long as I can remember and, while it doesn't hold a candle to my wife's home cooking, or my Mom's, etc., I know I can count on them for a good meal, good coffee, and (usually) good service in almost any town through which I pass. I've never had a bad meal at a CB and, in fact, have enjoyed some very good ones over the years - YMMV, of course. (BTW, our local ones here are excellent!) Don't get me wrong - if I know of a good local restaurant or have a recommendation from a local friend, I'll opt for trying something new. But if I'm travelling, lack better intel, and have to eat at a chain anyway (I don't roll the dice with unknown local "Mom & Pop's" - too many years in Public Health  ), it's going to be a Cracker Barrel Old Country Store.
