I have never ate at a Cracker Barrel , not one close to where I live . The price for the meals is reasonable and as a 77 year old lady its just the right size serving . Thanks for your videos I really enjoy them ❤
It definitely is a great deal and the serving size would be perfect for you. Sorry that you don’t have a Cracker Barrel near you. Glad you enjoy our videos and appreciate you watching. 😀
First-time watcher. Enjoyed the review. Just mention Cracker Barrel, and I come runnin’, lol. Carly is so cute! Thanks for trying those items out for us. ❤️
Welcome to the channel. We hope you will subscribe and watch more of our videos. We do have another Cracker Barrel video that we put out recently that you might like. Thanks for watching!
$5.00 for a meal is so cheap. It’s cheaper than a fast food burger or a frozen meal, in Canada anyways. Thank you for the video. It’s always great seeing you guys.
It really is a great deal! We were surprised in how good the food was. But we should have expected it to be good because it is Cracker Barrel. Thanks for watching.
My husband and I always get the meatloaf and Mac & Cheese to take home. I love meatloaf sandwiches & make sandwiches with the Mac & Cheese for lunch the next day. It's the perfect portion. Convenient & economical.
That’s a great idea to make sandwiches with the meatloaf. 🥪 We were so impressed with the meal. We will definitely be getting more of these. Thanks for watching.
I have never been disappointed with the food at Cracker Barrel. My favorite item is the country fried steak with a side of mashed potatoes and green beans. For dessert, either apple or cherry cobbler. Love you guys. My favorite little family! God bless you.
I really like the country fried chicken from CB. But usually, I get the grilled because that's good too. I like their blackberry cobbler when they have that on the dessert menu. Yummo! We appreciate you so much! You are always so awesome. God Bless.
Have a great day you guys! My sons loved Kraft Mac and cheese too! And pizza. We'd have pizza parties every Friday night for years when they were young! Have a great day ❤
Definitely two favorite foods for Carly too. Friday night pizza parties sound fun! We do homemade pizza on some Fridays. Hope you are having a great week!
Great review. Grilled chicken was over grilled and we had the French toast apple thing for breakfast and did not care for it. I agree that they should add a biscuit. All in all a good value. We did get to try the fried turkey and it was great! Thanks for the hard work y'all do. God Bless and safe travels.
We were surprised in how good these were. Did you do Cracker Barrel’s take home meals or somewhere else? It might be worth trying them again and doing a video. Thanks for watching.
I really liked your home reviews with Carly giving two thumbs up while trying to cool her mouth with milk. Two minutes was probably just right as David's eyes lit up from the heat lol I'd rather it be too hot than not hot enough You can always let it cool down 😢I thought the first chicken dish looked the best , and the least favorite would be the other chicken meal. But for 5 dollars that's a good deal . My wife and I are going to the cracker barrel tomorrow for dinner, liked the dumplings Carly got on the other video. Nice portions for the early bird options. And by your advice I think will be taking home one of the pies, can't beat the price ! I think you did a great job on the home video, hope you more 😊PS. Thought your Trip to the commanders game was cool.You guys have the best week possible and God Bless 🙏🇺🇸 .
Definitely didn’t need more than 2 minutes of heat time. The homestyle chicken was very tasty. The early bird deal at Cracker Barrel is definitely a great option. By the time you eat a biscuit or two that is more than enough for a meal. Hope you enjoy the pie! I know you will. 😀Enjoy Cracker Barrel and have a great week.
I used to be skeptical about the take home meals as far as quality and taste were concerned but y'all have eliminated any doubt in my mind and I'll definitely have to take a try at one of them sometime! Most likely I'll go with y'all's unanimous pick the Homestyle chicken and Mac n cheese! The grilled chicken didn't look bad either however I'm not a meatloaf guy so I'd pass on that one and was that a delicious slice of chocolate pecan pie I saw make a cameo appearance? Love me some chocolate pecan pie and will have to grab some in the near future! Thank y'all for sharing and as always y'all rock my friends!
We were surprised at how good the take-home meals were, especially the home style chicken. The chocolate pecan pie is so good too! I think you would be pleased with the take-home meals.
I’ve had the chicken with macaroni and cheese and it was very good. I had it almost the week till I heated it up and it was perfectly fine. Love Cracker Barrel. I love their meatloaf at Cracker Barrel. It’s delicious.
Good to know. This was definitely our favorite! I figured it would be good in the fridge for longer than 2 days, but I definitely wanted to give the suggestion from the restaurant. 😄
I must say those meals did look good!!!…cant beat the price on those…you pay more going to a fast food place!!!…i may have to go pick up a few of those to keep on hand at home….the portions just right for one person…i agree with you cindy a little side dish of salad or a vegetable would be perfect with it…can you just buy those or do you have to eat there to be able to purchase them?…olive garden has take home meals too…..awesome review of these tasty meals❤❤❤
@@heathkinn I believe you have to eat there or order off menu. You could always ask at your CB to see. I know Carly definitely wants me to get her the homestyle chicken again. She devoured that one after we did the taste test. lol Thanks for watching.
These meals would suit me to a tee. I don’t have a big appetite and I usually have to take food home when eating out. Would be a good deal for me! Good food at an excellent price!! Thanks for sharing.
As one Coca Cola drinking dad to another, I’m going to give you some advice. Before drinking the coke, keep the can in the pantry not the fridge. Then pour it into a glass with a lot of ice. That will stretch and economize the coke. It will also end up with drinking a lot more water which will melt into the coke which is much healthier. (Glass of coke with ice and can on the side may also be more attractive for videos)
David is a Coca-Cola man for sure. Thanks for your tip. I have some beautiful vintage Coca-Cola glasses that would have been beautiful to have in the review.
@@hemaccabe4292 But it is important to stay hydrated. David drinks water but enjoys his cokes. Of course if they keep going up in the stores he may have to cut back.
I had that french toast about a month ago and I wouldn't typically order it but a friend recommended it. It was so good. Need to check these deals out next time I am at a cracker barrel. Definitely great for someone that lives alone or for lunch.
I was also surprised at how good the French toast was too. It was a big portion in my opinion. I could cut it in two and have two meals. I’d probably add a couple pieces of bacon and fruit. Thanks for watching.
Those looked pretty good for the price. I know what you mean about fighting over the microwaves at work during lunch break. We have three microwaves in our breakroom and I work night shift and my food usually only takes a minute to cook so I try to take my lunch a couple minutes before a lot of other people.
That's definitely smart thinking to get in there before most of the people. You lose a lot of your lunch time waiting and it puts you in a rush. It's much better when you can relax a bit during lunch. These meals are quick to heat up so that will also help. Appreciate you watching.
My kids would like the homestyle chicken or the meatloaf. they both love the mac n cheese from cracker barrel:) My Carli was watching this with me. she says hi to your daughter !
@@vafunseekers I’ve taken a lot of tv dinners to work as lunch over the years, much as you describe in the review. So I’ve learned a few tricks to help them present better, particularly when sophisticated cooking options were not available. These meals strike me as being very tv dinner-like. A fun follow up might be a comparison between the fried chicken and meat loaf options against say, their Banquet equivalents.
I’d like these meals to have some veggies. An additional side of baked apple would really round out the meal adding both a fruit/vegetable balance and a dessert.
@seaglass1111 I know what you mean. There’s a lot of things I won’t order in a restaurant because I like mine better. CB meatloaf though, is very similar to my own.
I like the home style chicken best as well, I also like the meatloaf. When I had this choice in the past, grilled chicken and the French toast was not an option.
I would think with the meatloaf, I would decant the meatloaf face down onto a plate. Then I would add ketchup before warming. The ketchup becomes a lovely glaze.
why is this channel always making me hungry? every time jeeesh !
I know, right! We get hungry when we watch our videos. Thanks for watching,
Carly, Mom you took my fork expression. I laughed. I am glad the meals were good. You cannot bet $5 per meal
LOL! You definitely can’t beat the $5.00 meal deal.
I have never ate at a Cracker Barrel , not one close to where I live . The price for the meals is reasonable and as a 77 year old lady its just the right size serving . Thanks for your videos I really enjoy them ❤

Thank you for coming back to review the take home dinners. My mouth is salivating watching this video. Love all your videos. 😊🤤Yummy
They were good. Carly was such a big fan of the homestyle chicken that I’ll definitely be getting her some in the future. 😋

Glad to hear that you enjoyed the fried turkey from CB. I just thought the grilled chicken didn’t taste smoky. Appreciate y’all watching. 😀
Looks good as always a good review and yes I'm hungry now lol
Thank you! It’s a great option for a cheap meal for later. 😋
5$ per meal is a great deal. I would enjoy the fried chicken one. Great review. Ty😊
It really is a good deal. The fried chicken was yummy.😋
For some reason when we tried to take home meals, they were not the greatest. Thank you for sharing! Always a great video! 😊

Love you guys. I wonder if you can freeze these dinners to use later
I would say yes. I would put a meal in a gallon sized ziplock freezer bag. Then you could have it for later. Appreciate you watching. ❤️
Glad y’all reviewed the take home meals. I need to try one!
Definitely! 👍 It’s really a good deal. Plus no cooking. lol

@@vafunseekers 🤣🤣
We definitely want to try the $5.00 take-home meal. Ty 😋
You should! They are very good for only $5.00. Thanks for watching!
Nice review! Will definitely try those soon.
Hope you enjoy them. 😋 Thanks for watching.
Great job! We get these $5 meals and the $6 meals from Olive Garden for my elderly mother..they make the perfect lunch or dinner for her. Take Care
Plus you know she has good food to eat. Thanks for watching!
These meals would suit me to a tee. I don’t have a big appetite and I usually have to take food home when eating out. Would be a good deal for me! Good food at an excellent price!! Thanks for sharing.
They definitely would be perfect for you. Good food, right size portions, and low price. Which meal do you think would be your favorite?
5 dollars you can't beat the price looks good.
It’s definitely a good deal and it’s tasty too. Thanks for watching!
Gravy suggestion was genius.

@@vafunseekers Drinking more water and less coke is always healthier, but it’s hard when you love your coke. This is a no lose compromise.
@@vafunseekers You’re already a good looking family, but I’m sure those glasses would look great too!
@@hemaccabe4292 But it is important to stay hydrated. David drinks water but enjoys his cokes. Of course if they keep going up in the stores he may have to cut back.
@@vafunseekers The melted ice will stretch the coke and hydrate him better than coke alone.

@@vafunseekers if you order it in restaurant it does come with bacon or sausage. Yes fruit with it would be really good.

My kids would like the homestyle chicken or the meatloaf. they both love the mac n cheese from cracker barrel:)
My Carli was watching this with me. she says hi to your daughter !
Hello Carli from our Carly. 👋 The meals are definitely kid friendly too. Great deal! Hope y’all have a great week.
I think I would just get the regular plates to go and choose my own sides. The pie looked great!
The prices of their early dinner is reasonable and you can choose your own side. Thanks for watching.
When warming a tv dinner, I find that it helps to decant the meal to a plate first.
I don’t usually eat many tv dinners due to sodium. But I see how that could help.
@@vafunseekers I’ve taken a lot of tv dinners to work as lunch over the years, much as you describe in the review. So I’ve learned a few tricks to help them present better, particularly when sophisticated cooking options were not available. These meals strike me as being very tv dinner-like.

I agree. I would definitely add a salad, fruit or veggies to it. Still think it’s a good deal.
Now that's some take home meals. Looks so good. SMKK
@@SmokyMountainKatzKrew Tasty and a good deal!
@@vafunseekers yes what a fantastic deal.
Great idea for us single folks. 4 meals $20. Not bad at all.
Definitely reasonable, convenient and delicious. 😋
Nice review
Thank you! Appreciate you watching and commenting. 😀
Yall have a beautiful home
@@JessicaFallen Thank you.
@@vafunseekers yw
Pecan Pie is my favorite Pie! Never had it with Choclate Chips though.
It is so good! First time I had it was in Lancaster, PA at an Amish Buffet. If you go to CB defintiely try it. Thanks for watching!
Meatloaf is a favorite of mine though I've never tried Cracker Barrel's meatloaf. I make my own 🍽
Sometimes when you like something that you make you don’t want to order it in a restaurant.
@seaglass1111 I know what you mean. There’s a lot of things I won’t order in a restaurant because I like mine better. CB meatloaf though, is very similar to my own.
@@Southerngirl0997 I hope to try it sometime!
@@vafunseekers great video 🙂👍
With mashed potatoes, it can help to pause half way through warming and mixing them up.
Yes, I do that often when reheating potatoes. I usually add butter too.
I like the home style chicken best as well, I also like the meatloaf. When I had this choice in the past, grilled chicken and the French toast was not an option.
I’m thinking the French toast might be seasonal. It was tasty but very sweet. We need to do another review together soon.
Do you like gravy or tomato sauce on your Meatloaf
We always have a ketchup based sauce. I don’t think I’ve ever had it with gravy but that sounds like it would be good.
I would think the grilled chicken might do well with a pat of butter before warming.
That’s a good idea to add butter to the chicken.
I never knew they sold to go meals T Cracker Barrel. This sounds like a great deal.
It really is a good deal! Try them out if you get a chance. We really liked that homestyle chicken. Thanks for watching!
Carly is such a dear!
Thank you. She keeps us laughing! She is a sweet child.
Cool
Thanks! Appreciate you watching.
wow, to send you home without the meatloaf? thats odd. but im glad you got it fixed. very odd though.
Yes, no entree! lol We did get a replacement. I didn't look that close at the take home meals until I went to put them in the fridge.
I was thinking of getting a Cracker Barrel Thanksgiving dinner
Nice. Are you thinking about getting a Thanksgiving plate lunch from them or the heat and serve meal? Im sure both would be good. 😀
@@vafunseekers heat n serve . It tends to be better quality than Kroger's
I would think with the meatloaf, I would decant the meatloaf face down onto a plate. Then I would add ketchup before warming. The ketchup becomes a lovely glaze.
If we were going to get the meatloaf on a regular basis I would make a nice glaze to add to it. 😋
@@vafunseekers I’m sure your sauce would be better. I was just thinking in terms of quickness and convenience.
Best thing about tv dinners is everything getting mixed up together.
Unless you are one of those people who do not want their food touching. I know a few people like that.
@@vafunseekers I suppose but I’m a messy person by nature, but you’re right.
Looks like somebody took a bite of the meatloaf ? 🥔 skimpy looking ! Better off dinning in more worth it for sure . God bless America 🇺🇸
We just had a hard time with that meatloaf. Lol The homestyle chicken was the best.
$5.00 not bad looks good it's Jessica Fallen
Jessica, It’s definitely not a bad deal. I think you would like it.
@@vafunseekers cool
Meatloaf looks good
It was according to David and Carly. It just needed some more sauce. 😋
@@vafunseekers oh lol
Oh no , that would have been a very bad mistake in my case. I have to travel at least 40 miles to our nearest Cracker Barrel. ☹️
Our Cracker Barrel is about 20 miles. So it wasn’t like a short trip. I know mistakes happen but it was disappointing not to have the meatloaf.
@@vafunseekers oh my goodness. I know you were disappointed. But at least you had them give a piece of pie for the mistake. 🥴
@@Miriam-w8j And that pie was so good!
Why doesn't Cindy eat meatloaf?
I do not eat onions so I don’t eat meatloaf. I do eat it when I prepare it at home without onions. I actually think it’s yummy! 😋
😳
🤩😃
I have wanted some of these but they have mac & cheese in them. I don't eat mac & cheese!!!
The smoky grilled chicken comes with mashed potatoes but the meatloaf and homestyle chicken come with the mac & cheese. Thanks for watching.
Look good I'm not a big fan of mic chesse
That makes two of the meals not as appetizing for you then. Thanks for watching! 😀
@@vafunseekersI have try them I just have gave my sisters the mic chesse
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it looks like Carly is bored and doesn’t want to be there!
I will add that the food looked okay.
Carly enjoyed the homestyle chicken a lot! She wanted to do the review when we mentioned it at CB. Thanks for watching.
@@vafunseekersYou are welcome! I didn’t mean to offend you, that was a kind and sincere response! Have a great evening!
