Honestly Cooking!
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🖕🖕🖕
I just don't understand?
Why go out to eat food like you make at home?
Or like Mom's?
Chances are they won't be as good as I'm used to. At least different.
Meat loaf, roast beef, roast turkey, mashed potatoes, anything Italian unless in an Italian restaurant....
I do not eat out.
Getting picky about where I get a steak.
Why pay some knotted 3x my cost to serve me something sub par, and expect a tip!
Folks bust on the fast food places, I'd rather get a fresh high speed burger than
some spongy, filler filled meat loaf or dried reconstituted potatoes. I’m pretty sure you’re a woman. You ever find something you couldn’t bitch about?

That Pancake place there on the way into the city wasn't bad eats for breakfast.
Only thing I liked about Cracker Barrel, on the few occasions I ate there (3x maybe??) was that I could get greens with my order. Not many places serve greens. Tom's Pankcake House. Yep. Better than Cracker Barrel, IMHO. is Tom's the same as the Original Pancake House? I can only recall going to this one. https://originalpancakehouse.com/images/locations/phloc_portland_pic1.jpgNo. That's a different place. It's also very good. Or was the last time I was there about 30 years ago.

You'd have to be crazy to own a business in Portland after the leftist agony that has been brought to bear up there.

Thanks Steve.
Honestly doubt I'll ever be back in that area to look up the Tom's breakfast place.
I'm going to take your word that it's a decent one though.

About the "just cook at home" comment: If I have driven 300 miles and get hungry, do you expect me to turn around and drive back just to cook at home?

Only been once and it wasn't anything special or particularly good from memory.
Seems to me that Cracker Barrel is to old white folks like Panda Express is to a Chinaman.

Your analogy is flawed, Justin. Unless you are saying that a Chinaman would like Panda Express.

I've eaten at a number of Cracker Barrel Restaurants in the southeast. Every meal has been very good and the service excellent.

This is beginning to look like more an indictment on the general population of a given geographic area than on Cracker Barrel.

Hard to imagine that some folks like things that other folks don't.

Did Grubhub Cracker Barrel in Medford. Ordered chicken and taters.
Never again.
P Around here, you order chicken at Cracker Barrel, you get a half a fried chicken and it’s pretty damned good. I believe most every time I’ve eaten at a CB it was In Tennessee, somewhere in Tennessee being about the halfway point between here and NY State. It’s always been breakfast. Actually, I love the sound of a soft Tennessee drawl from a Waitress. Maybe they hire ‘em for that, they sound quite diff’rent at Waffle House, even in Tennessee

I've eaten at one that's closing. Also at a few others. They're okay. Nothing to write home about. I prefer regular hashbrowns or home fries to the cheesy thing they serve.
Not sure why the one in Beaverton is closing. Seems like every time I drove by there the parking lot was full or close to it.
There's always a local breakfast place that's better. Just finding it is the trick. Steve, Bishops Cafe in St George, if you haven't found it yet. Close to Sportsmans Warehouse. Hell, I was just at Sportsmans Warehouse a couple days ago. But it was closer to lunch time. Thanks! Is this a thing? Our closest Sportsman's has a Cracker Barrel across the parking lot.

[bleep] em all up there Well, at least you can feel good about part of your taxes going into the $200 million for the homeless that just was passed by the Legislature. A lot of that will end up in Portland.
