text: My first time ever visiting a Cracker Barrel Restaurant! We came from Los Angeles to visit with my brother, and HOLY SMOKES! This place rocks! Why don't we have these in LA?!\n\nIt was too hot to cook, so we needed to find a restaurant. I was a little hesitant to try them, because I live off of Yelp reviews, and the ones for this locations are not so good. But one of the girls travelling with us desperately wanted to go here, so we gave in.\n\nBeing the weirdoes we are, we all decided to go to the restaurant wearing ridiculous hats and speak in different accents. We had a train conductor who said \"choo choo\" after every sentence, an Australian explorer, a Russian spy, a hillbilly, and a Texas cowgirl. We were seated right away with no judgments, which already was amazing, as I'd judged myself. haha!\n\nThe waiter LARRY was super nice; took our drink orders, and didn't question our strange appearances or bad accents. When asked where I was from, I panicked and confessed that we were just dorks having a fun family outing... He loved it, barked a laugh, admitted he thought the \"choo choo\" girl was kind of strange, and went on to have a great conversation with us. Turns out Larry is fricken awesome. :)\n\nThe food was OMG good! I had the chicken fried chicken with macaroni and cheese, apples, and mashed potatoes. Seriously delicious! It was a huge serving, so I took over half of it home with me, and cost less then $10! My daughter got the sampler plate with meatloaf, ham, and chicken & dumplings.... all 3 were delicious! Definitely not something you'd want to eat when counting calories, but we were on vacation, so it's ok. :p\n\nThe ambiance is super cute. Old antiques gave it the country vibe, tables were clean, and there were little games on the table you can play while you wait for dinner! There was a country store at the entrance selling all sorts of knick knacks, tshirts, old fashioned candies, etc. We didn't buy anything, but had fun exploring the store and seeing all they had to offer!
