    I've lived in the South 95% of my life. I moved to Seattle and had to leave places like this behind. I was on a business trip to Nashville, and a good friend of mine was my coworker and he's lived in Seattle his entire life. We got off the plane and to the hotel, and if by some miracle there was a waffle house and a Cracker Barrel flanking our hotel. I got to introduce him to both of them. So we got off the plane late, so we hit Waffle house around midnight. Then hit Cracker Barrel the next morning. That man ordered Grandpas country fried breakfast and had his first Chicken fried Steak. He called his wife while we were eating to just gush about the meal and how nice our waitress, and that he bought one of those giant checkers games to play with his kid. He just had the greatest time. Thanks Cracker Barrel, you rock.

    My father passed away last year at the age of 93. The last time I took him out to eat was at a Cracker Barrel. Some kind folks saw us there and paid for our meal. Dad was obviously living his last days. He liked to go on Thursdays as the special was the turkey and dressing. He would always ask the waitress to bring extra blackberry jelly as he liked to carry them home for later. God, I miss taking that old man to the Cracker Barrel.

      @@Finn_Anwarunya I think the problem was that in addition to that fact, we were eating it at some random state, as we were literally in the middle of a move. It is a pleasurable memory for me not just for the food, but because I hated the six months I had to live in IL, and was excited to finally move back to my native homeland of Texas, where we all had a more traditional, but belated Thanksgiving with all my relatives who were still alive or hadn’t moved away yet.

      @@DeathnoteBB good point. A great example is my mother’s worst Easter experience. …Well, depending on where the COVID lockdown one ranks. I was 5, and we moved over Easter holiday. We spent it in a hotel, but I got my very own room that was joined to my parents room via a private door which I thought was very cool. I remember waking up to find nestle crunch eggs “hidden” all over my room, and one of those prewrapped Easter basket bundles that I had always admired in the stores.
      The Easter bunny had always hidden plastic eggs with candy inside, but this time, which was the only time, I guess he was rushed. As an adult, I know those saran wrapped prearranged baskets are cheap and not anywhere as good as what I usually got, but as a kid, I loved it, and even today my own daughter will admire them and wished she had them over the nice expensive ones.
      Kid logic: I don’t remember ever feeling sad that we even had to move, or had to experience that holiday in a hotel room. For whatever reason, that one single time, it simply felt normal. And not only were those two changes a positive one for me, but remember, I was five. I didn’t really know it was Easter until I woke up and it was there. The Easter Bunny had found me!!! How? How did he know I had moved across the country?! It honestly wouldn’t surprise me if we had Cracker Barrel for Easter Lunch (something had to be open). I just don’t remember because all 5yo me could think about was how cool it was that the Easter bunny still visited.
      Adult me wonders if the hastily nestle crunch eggs and prewrapped basket bundle was all that could be found that night on arrival. I mean, clearly my parents were too busy with the move to go shopping.

    My Momma's ex husband was a General Manager of a Cracker Barrel in Tennessee when I had just turned 12 years old. I would love it whenever he came to get me from school, and I'd do my homework in the dining area where it wasn't busy, and I'd order me a big ole' plate of sausage biscuits, and I'd keep them coming, because that, and their bread pudding were my favorites. I remember that they let my Momma have the Cracker Barrel cookbook use by the cooks, so she could work her mathematical genius magic, and make just enough for me, or all 3 of us to eat. Years later, I took my daughter to Cracker Barrel whenever we went on vacation to a lodge in the North Georgia Mountains where my people were from, and she loved it, and she got so upset once when we were on vacation, and she got a tummy bug, and couldn't finish her little soup. I did buy all the Stewart's Diet Orange Cream Soda and Root Beer, and her the Stewart's regular Root Beer for our room, and when I moved to the West Coast, and they finally built a Cracker Barrel, I was so shocked that they didn't have sausage and biscuits anymore! A couple of years later they no longer served Stewart's diet anything, and they even started serving alcohol! That just really got to me, and my great memories of Cracker Barrel, because of all the restaurants to serve alcohol, why choose Cracker Barrel? I loved getting a Stewart's Diet Orange Cream soda whenever I went there, and then bring some home as a treat to myself, and I liked that they didn't serve alcohol too. Times have certainly changed that's for sure.

    The secret to the peg game is on a paper with the game you buy. Giant checkers eliminate choking hazzard for the lil' chil'ren. The stuff hanging up that looks like treasures from a farm auction should be part of a game. The game is as follows. At your option, the manager randomly picks 25 items and if you can correctly identify them all you get a free meal but miss one and you pay double your check.
