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 mother always hated the memory of the time we had to eat Crackle Barrel for Thanksgiving. This is amusing to me because it was one, if not the, best Thanksgiving dinners I’ve ever had.

[@DeathnoteBB]

It’s funny how parents want the best for their kids but sometimes kids find the unique experience to be the best

[@Finn_Anwarunya]

That's might be why she hates the memory, because the time everyone seems to be having the best time was the time she didn't do it.

[@UmmYeahOk]

@@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.

[@UmmYeahOk]

@@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.

Also everything is tagged because we had to inventory it once a year. Also there are people that ate there every single day, they would notice when the price went up even a few cents or we changed shifts.

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.

I was surprise by the alcohol myself this summer. Tried the jack daniels peach beer which honestly was more a wine cooler than anything but it was good. Oh and no mention of the reusable bags? They are the best when grocery shopping and each season there’s new designs.

[@rachelbryant5762]

My mom is obsessed with Cracker Barrel bags. Everytime I go to her house she sends me home with stuff in a Cracker Barrel bag.

[@applebrush7600]

Cracker Barrel is one of the only places I can find nehi soda. Yup.

[@ridgerunner4273]

And I watch this AS I’m sitting at Cracker Barrel.

[@Willysmb44]

I live in the Pacific NW and they just brought CB into the area. I just ate at one near Portland, Oregon the weekend before last, and it was like home!

[@jenniferbarnes1053]

Lol,. My favorite place to shop and dine. And yes I'm a senior. Lol

[@Heartwing37]

“If I could live inside a Cracker Barrel”…. truth! ❤❤❤

[@cameronburry2275]

As a true cracker barrel regular I have learned almost every possible solution to the peg game, I know I'm missing at least one and I've found that there are usually at least two solutions for every starting position.

[@SigningWithTheByrds]

Grandma Baptist hangout!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I never thought of it that way, but yeah I see that. 😂

[@southernizerwatching]

@ 3:00…Love that look and how he said it!

[@catherinecrawford3058]

Rainforest Cafe ...with banjos is my new favorite way to describe the CB experience to folks that have never been.

[@WhiteTiger333]

This looks like what my Aunt Nancy would think heaven looks like - LOL! We always do Cracker Barrel on road trips. First order of business is run to the restroom...which you always know where it is. Then see how long the wait is going to be and shop before or after the meal, depending. And if I need more Wildcats gear, I have to wait until we are in a Kentucky Cracker Barrel.

[@hanC21317]

I love Cracker Barrel so freaking much. It feels like coming home every time we eat there, and I’ve eaten there in 3 different states! ❤

[@danielleking262]

I think I laughed the most when she mentioned the metal farm equipment hanging right there on the wall.... oh, and not sure what decade they're going for, but just "old" 😂😂😂

[@lesliekanengiser8482]

My new favorite is the assortment of individual sodas you can't get just anywhere. I love root beer and it's hard to find anything besides barq's, mug and a&w

[@mattkmoch2895]

“Rainforest Café with banjos”. Awesome!!

[@kn3765]

Sneaking into the comment section and whispering in shame that "I have never been to Cracker Barrel, even though there is one just a little ways down the road".

[@nonyabidness5708]

😵

[@gseric4721]

I find it sad that I actually knew how to play the peg game as a kid, but now I have no idea how to play it anymore as an adult.

[@WhiteTiger333]

KZbin has a video on how to play it. I watch the video, then forget how it goes when I'm at a Cracker Barrel. And that's on coffee, not alcohol - lol!

[@Purple_Usagi281]

I’m a Southerner who now lives in a state with NO Cracker Barrel. I miss it so much.

[@freethebirds3578]

My condolences.

[@uofa82]

I used pick up catering from CB this past Thanksgiving. I WILL do it again! Saved me so much time and it was delicious!❤️

[@JimNowotny]

Today, drinking. Tomorrow, plant based, lactose free, sausage gravey.

[@queenbee3647]

Bug gravy!

[@johnthomasjr262]

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.

[@chellybabyme]

Fair. Pre-written answers so no variable manager wiggle room.😏

[@kerim.peardon5551]

For the longest time, I thought you could buy the antiques. My mother said no, you can't. I asked, then why are there price tags hanging from the them? She said they were probably inventory tags, but definitely not price tags.

[@johnthomasjr262]

@@kerim.peardon5551 I tried to buy a lard press that was beside the table I was at and once they realized what I was talking about they said no. So the tags are to keep track of everything because the staff would probably never know what things are or if they were gone.

[@AggressiveSkunk]

I'm Northern and its always fun to see the minds of our comrades down South, Stereotypes + Comedy = Excellency

[@bestyoutubechannelever3206]

Where?

[@turtlegreen26]

I love this. Can someone please send me some biscuits and butter please?? Cant eat cornbread, stupid corn allergy

[@Christi_Bender_Author]

Ryan. LOL! You're awesome.

[@angiekelley2416]

My best Cracker Barrel story is when I was reading the menu and noticed a drink called the Black Cherry. It was just a cherry spirit. But I'll never forget that I asked the waitress "tell me about your Black Cherry" the mistake was that my waitress was black.

[@nonyabidness5708]

Did she understand your actual question?

[@texasbeast239]

Wrong restaurant. Shoulda saved that line for Da Club, later that night. It would've gone over very well there

[@bikingintheyard5848]

True very true

[@rae1957tn]

I love these guys

[@phillipperritt7787]

Love the magnolia tattoo! Excellent use of color.

[@pinkroses135]

It is kind of comforting. I have a bird picture in a round frame from there in my bedroom. 😂

[@bobastu]

I love the food and hate the chairs. If they made the chairs comfortable, nobody would ever leave.

[@aryastar2464]

I haven’t been in so long… I miss that Sunday chicken 😋

[@gena6827]

the barrel family lol that got me

[@carrieswank]

That darned peg game! I’ve never beat it, but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to try it 60 times before we leave. Do the giant checkers turn into frisbees after dark? If not, there’s no good reason for them to be that big.

[@franklinstephen3268]

Hello 👋how are you doing?

[@sonyamills7491]

My daughter is obsessed with the hashbrown casserole. She eats it inside then takes a order home with her lol

[@BIGBLOCK5022006]

There are recipes online for her to make the hash brown casserole at home if she wants to try it out.

[@HikaruRain]

Yeah even our Cracker Barrel's here in FL have the fireplace going year round. Year Round. That means it is burning wood in the summer too.
