      I thought it was a stupid and pointless business move or potentially a publicity stunt. And I’ll admit I’d be slightly bummed to walk into Cracker Barrel sit down and not see the peg game or all the weird old country store bullshit because nostalgias a removed. But like it’s not even good southern cooking, the only things good there were fried chicken livers and breakfast food. The former can be found in any southern town with much higher quality and Waffle House exists and is generally really close to most Cracker Barrel’s for the latter.

        Cracker Barrel was usually cleaner than Waffle House, though, if that’s important to you while on road trips

            Cleaner, not cheaper. Waffle House has always been cheaper. If you’re on a road trip with kids it’s nicer to feel reasonably confident you’re taking them into clean restrooms.
