And fresh prepared before your very eyes. With or without teeth. Never thought much of WH gravy biscuits, the gravy or the biscuits. But that prob only thing I don't care for at WH. I always get the toast to sop up the eggs anyways.

Saw a true story from somewhere in Georgia last year where a robber threatened a Waffle House Waitress with a gun. He ran off when she pulled HER gun on him 😳

The campfire dinners are 🔥

Not sure if its a limited thing or permanent.

They can't food line those dinners though. They are from fresh meats and veggies prepped on site. It's a large portion of the menu classics that are suffering greatly in quality. I will likely never get unpissed about the HB casserole.

We didn't go frequently anyways. $45-60 breakfasts and such for 2-3 people is just not exciteable. Can talk of the good ole CB days for free. If we do hit one up again, it'll have to be a pancake meal unless they ruin that too.

Hey now. Those Hardees guys are legendary heros. Many of the world's issue have been debated and rectified at table 5.

And at least not too many years back before most of them passed; those guys had literally killed Nazis in Europe or communists in Korea or Vietnam. They have earned the right to criticize whatever they wish IMHO

I hated buttermilk as a kid but once my mom convinced me of how good it was for an upset stomach (it really is) i eventually came to love it. Only later did I discover just how many probiotics and active cultures it contained.
Now I drink it for its flavour as much as anything else.

I'll go for the whole milk. Next best thing. But....don't know if those nutrients and enzymes are still present in the Fairlife brand. Flavor is there. Superior fridge life. But, ultra pasteurized for sensitive stomachs. We switched to that and it eliminated my sons stomach complaints. And allowed to continue drinking actual milk and not some strangled nut milk. People swear by goats milk. Brother drinks it. I've just never been able to try it. Though I'm a goat cheese fan, among many other cheeses. Especially the cranberry cheddar. And all this way off topic too.

I worked at Cracker Barrel as a senior in HS. The Long Hollow Pk location in Goodlettsville, to be specific. Dish and bus.

One of the cleanest restaurants I have ever worked in and I worked in several others through college.

The biggest food loss in my life that brought tears was the demise of Po' Folks. I won't cry over CB. But, we held services at church over Po' Folks.

isn't that the place that used to throw rolls at you? And yes I know Lambert's does this too, but pretty sure Po Folks did.

Our company provides the new banquette seating and front of house cash wraps. They claim market studies were indicating they were too dark and needed a updating.

My opinion is the fall off in the quality of CB food even in just the last few years. We don't do CB often, but the last 3 times we have it might as well have been IHOP food. The cult classic hashbrown casserole is anemic in flavor and texture compared to the past. And doesn't even seem fresh anymore. Like they went to pre-prepped and packaged corporate dishes that just get thawed/reheated on the kitchen line. Like Red Lobster or Olive Garden.

Oddly, the Mt. Juliet location was one of maybe a half dozen pilot locations for the update and got really strong customer response and they ran with it.

Make good food fresh, and they will come. Decor is secondary at best.

I will agree that the lighting needed to be improved.

I’d say it was when they started selling alcohol and I’m not saying that as a moral issue. It showed they were willing to abandon their business model to reach for some profit on a product that seems completely out of place in their restaurants.

I wonder just how much booze they actually sell.
