Nearly 30 years ago I went to cracker barrel with my parents and grandparents, for the only time. I remember that I didn’t like the food and I ended up walking through the “country store” afterwards, which I only remember because of the big rocking chair. I hope it goes so woke that it is broke so other 5 year olds don’t have to suffer through the same experience.
It’s a gimmicky chain restaurant in the US. They exist in the same general retail space as Applebee’s, Chili’s, and other similar places with a low to moderate price point and a theme. They specialize in mediocre southern US comfort foods and their main gimmick is that their waiting room is a massive side-of-the-highway gift shop.
